He is a vice president of Radio Corporation of America and di rector of its electronic research. Writing in the year book of the American Technion Society, the "father" indicated a dissat isfaction in some of the activi ties of his child. He approved of the televising of the Kefau ver crime hearings, of the San Francisco Japanese peace treaty conference, and of United Na tions meetings. All that is "edu cation education for democ racy," he wrote. Level Too Low However, he continued: "It is charged, not altogether without justice, that too much of television entertainment is aimed at the lowest level. The usual defense is that it is the part of democracy to give the public what it wants, as indicated by the type of programs viewed by preference. . . "It needs scarcely be men tioned that this theory of 'giv ing the public what it wants' is false. No sound democracy will tolerate for long a mass medium of entertainmertt which de grades the public taste. "In the past broadcasters have recognized their responsibility to elevate the aesthetic sensibil ity of the public by providing unpaid sustaining programs giv ing the best in music and drama. Farsighted advertisers have fol lowed suit, foregoing the high er return of lower-grade mat rial for the advertising dollar. Co-Operation Needed "This farsightedness must be come more widespread if our ad vertising supported competitive television service is to endure Broadcasters and sponsors must see to it jointly that after-school programs are purged of crime and bloodshed. . "Program material must be developed which stimulates the family to joint activity and broadens the area of common in terest. Only then will television truly accomplish what it is so often claimed for it the strengthening of family ties. "One other matter requires the careful attention for the ad vertiser; the tasteful and pain less presentation of his mes sage. Advertising need not be irritating to be effective. The interest demonstrated by sec tions of the public in various forms of subscription television is a measure of the failure of advertisers to properly assess public tolerance of present-day commercials."
