Tuesday. August 11, 1953 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. Salem., Oregon Pl IT II I- I I CAr K "ULL-VICYYO O Rodio-Teleyi$ion . gS By DAVE BLACKMEI Members of the radio and television businesses in sJ lem met Monday night in the Hotel Marion to d muss esUbhshment of uniform prices for installation and Vena r "S'h T ,n-d the Pssibility union orjraruzation for the employes in the radio and television business. A half of a hundred employes and employers attended; the affair which lasted several hours. Representatives I ?f Hon"16?110?1 Bfotnwhood of Electrical Workers, local 280, AFL, also attended the meeting. - Members of the IBEW, Burt Landon, business mana ger of the local, Carl Cummings, president of local 280. i led the discussion and were on the receiving end of the question and answer period following. Guest speaker of the evening was C. A. Vibbert, presi dent of the Salem chapter of the National Electrical Con tractors Association. , . . ; The Federal Communications Commission announced' last week it proposes to authorize a new compatible color television system which can be tuned in on existing re-! ceivers.The new color plan is sponsored by the National1 Television System Committee, a technical group repre senting virtually all segments of the telecasting industry. The commission noted in announcing a proposed ap proval, that no opposition to the NTSC plan has devel oped from any 'source. If the committee's color system should be finally sanc tioned by FCC for commercial use, it would throw out; the Columbia Broadcasting System's color broadcasting technique which the FCC approved on an exclusive basis in 1950. The CBS System cannot be received on existing sets without conversion. The new one would show up on pres ent sets in black and white. Following the announcement, manufacturers made plans to have color television on sale in less than a year . . . However, the respective television stations also must buy equipment in order for them to color-telecast. Therefore, ; it could be more than a year before the Northwest sta tions could purchase the proper equipment. At nrst, just like everything else, the color TV sets will cost a small part of Fort Knox. A 14-inch set will cost around $750 during the first three years. After four years of production the cost should come down to fit the average person's wallet ... . So color TV is continuing to progress, but it will be a long, long time before the cost is low enough so that a person can sit down and enjoy it. : TOURS FOR THE TELE-VIEWING TUESDAY Matinee Theatre, t.

Each week the show dram atizes the story behind a news story, such as how a reporter helped an innocent man get out of prison. But the newspaper man or woman, whether from New York or Tombstone, Ariz., usu ally has to be portrayed by somebody with an Actors Guild card. Aren't Actors We just aren't thespians, a fact I painfully learned while Boston. We pick stories in which the reporter is involved emotionally, not just a story that's a scoop or beat. It must have human interest." The show's first story, about a Chicago news hound who got a scrub woman's innocent son out of jail, was snared by the movies and became "North side.
