Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood (U.R) TV viewers
seldom hear about the shows
that don't get on the air. One
producer told
of a program
that's branded
"too hot" for
t e 1 e v i sion.
Worthing ton
Miner, who
produces
"Medic" and
"Frontier" and
even intro
duced Ed Sul- Aline Mosby '
livan to unsuspecting citizens,
has created a new show called
"Challenge."
But this program is so contro
versial that networks and spon
sors have run in the other di
rection. Present Both Sides
"Challenge" would dramatize
various widely-argued subjects
of the day about the rights of
Americans. The story would pre
sent both sides of the question,
and the viewer would have to
make up his own mind.
The "pilot" film of "Chal
lenge," for example, tells about
a school bus driver who was
fired for refusing to sign a loy
alty oath. The program ended
with the unanswered question:
Should he get his job back?
Minter started the show after
a subsidiary of the Ford Foun
dation, the Fund for the Repub
lic, asked him to make a pro
gram about civil rights. After
extensive research into law, he
produced the pilot film in New
York last April. s It', gathered
dust in his office ever since.
He admits it's difficult to un
derstand why sponsors would be
leary as the show never takes a
stand.
"But I suppose you merely
mention the subject of loyalty
osths and the lunatic fringe
vould complain before even see
ing the show and finding out we
don't editorialize,'' he said.
NBC thought the show was
"dynamite," he said, but made
no offer to carry it without a
sponsor. CBS and ABS said
nothing.
"It was under option to NBC
but that's over now, and I'll take
it any place," Miner said. "I
think it has tremendous impact."
Other chapters of "Challenge"
would deal with freedom of the
press, the Fifth Amendment,
freedom of speech, segregation
and unions.
Still Hopeful
Miner has not lost hope. "We
worked a year to sell 'Medic,'
he said.
"Any provavative show is hard
to sell,", he said. "Everybody in
town turned down 'Medic' Three
agencies turned down 'Frontier'
so I took it to sponsors directly
New Balfery Converis
Sun to Electricity
Portland (U.R) -Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company
yesterday unveiled a solar bat
tery that will power a telephone
circuit or run a transistor radio.
Consisting of eight expensive
silicon wafers the size of half
dollars, the battery converts
sunlight directly into electricity.
Telephone officials said the
battery could generate enough
power to operate eight tele
phones. 'It generates up to 10
watts of electricity while the
sun shines . "and, as the eight
phone circuit requires only one
watt, the surplus is stored in
battery for use after

of the total light falling on them

the rate of 100 watts per square

would take a square yard of
ultra-refined silicon to light a

and sold it right away.
"CBS said no when I first sug

worst emcee in the country, Ed
Sullivan. I figured he couldn't
possibly be entertaining himself
so he'd have to find good talent.
Well, he's still going."
