and among . scientists is often
called "the father of television."
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."
Reach Agreement
On Voluntary Plan
Of Job Utilization
Salem (U.R) In an effort to
avoid government controls dur
ing the emergency, - the labor
management committee of the

Pacific Coast Waterfront
Dispute Remains Unsettled
San Francisco 0J.R) "Pack
age" offers exchanged by West
Coast shipowners and striking
AFL Sailors left the two sides
far from agreement on a new
pay scale Thursday. The Ex
change dispelled hopes that the
wage issue in the 50-day-old
waterfront walkout was near
settlement
The sailors demanded an 11
per cent wage boost, and Pacific
Maritime . Association shippers
offered a per cent boost.
a PMA spokesman said after

ported to be near agreement on
a 5 per cent pay boost.
Other Issues .
Other principal issues" in the

McKay Pays Tribute
To Ground Observers
Salem U.R) Gov. Douglas
McKay Thursday gave praise to
the thousands of Oregon citizens
who entered into the 24-hour
operation of the ground observer
group in the activity known fa
miliarly as "Operation Sky
Watch."
McKay said:
The Air Force has called on
our citizens for help in develop
ing the air defense system pro
tecting this country against at
tack. They have stated unequivo
cally that the recently completed
radar screen is entirely insuffic
ient by itself to guard against
surprise attack and that the
ground observers are absolutely
indispensable for detecting low
level air attacks.
"Accepting this decision of
the Air Force, our state has join
ed with the 26 other seacoast
and border states involved in
'Skywatch' in manning their
posts."
Twenty-four of the ground ob
server posts in Oregon went into
24-hour operation this week and
49 other posts were activated on
less than 24-hour operation be
cause of lack of personnel. Sixty
one posts are not operating and

Meeting Called 0 ,
Federal Conciliator Omar Hos
kins called another meeting be
tween the union and shipowners
for Thursday afternoon.
The package offered the sailors
by the shipowners Wednesday
would have skirted the touchy
ship gear loading issue by stating
that such work would be given
to the union which had it as a
"customary practice."
The National Labor Relations
Board has charged that it is this
jurisdictional which has blocked
settlement of the strike.
Wants MFP Revived
Meanwhile at Long Beach,
Calif., leaders of Bridges' inde
pendent union proposed that the
once-powerful Maritime Federa
tion of the Pacific be revived.
The federation, through which
all coast waterfront unions es
tablished broad policies, was dis
banded in 1940 because of in
