Mail Tribunt Correspondent
Washington A new scheme
to bring television into the
smaller cities of the mountainous
Pacific North
west was filed
Monday with
the Federal
C o m m unica
tions Commis
sion. Its bakers, a
Phil adelphia
electro nics
firm, said that
a. Robt smith equipment n
developed will permit residents
of outlying areas to receive net
work TV for an initial outlay of
about $75 plus about $1.50 per
month upkeep.
Jerrold Electronics Corp. filed
an application with the FCC to
experiment with its idea in
Ellensburg, Wash. A company
official explained that it is de
signed to work in any com
munity outside the normal range
of regular television broadcast "large Northwest banking
stations
The company would install on
a suitable mountain ridge near
the town a large antenna tower
which would pick up television
programs transmitted by the
nearest TV stations in the area.
These signals in the VHF range
would be converted to different
frequencies in the higher UHF
range, then transmitted from the
mountain tower down to the
town in "pea shooter" fashion
to a centrally located receiver.
Homes Hooked by Cables
. Each home that wished to ob
tain the services of the system
would be hooked to the town's
receiver by cables. And each
TV set would have to have a
UHF converter installed on it
to receive the TV broadcasts. ;
The entire system, under the
plan advanced this week, would
be run by local cooperatives org
anized by the townspeople on a
non-profit basis. The co-op would
be financed at the outset by a
Tin Can Tourists Start
33rd Convention Session
Tampa, Fla. U.R) The Tin tie in one spot. He believes the
Can Tourists of the World,
who make up the nation's larg
est trailer organization, are as
informal as their title.
Business sessions at the 33rd
convention here began yester
day, but Royal Chief Carleton
H. Andrews said that the main
purpose of the group is "organ
ized relaxing."
Andrews, a 72-year-old retired
school superintendent from Hills
dale,' Mich., explained the group
was organized in 1920 to frater
nally unite all auto campers.
Clean Up Camps
"We got together on a basis of
no fees, no dues, no graft," said
Andrews. "But together we've
helped to clean up trailer camps
and provide wholesome enter
tainment for all tin-canners."
About 1,000 members are at
tending the two-week meeting
here at the Municipal Trailer
CamD. Entertainment includes
card games, shuffleboard, pat
tern dancing, folk dancing and
bingo. '
"But the main thing we dois
relax," said . Andrews. "And
trailer living is the best way
to do it."
Andrews and his wife still
maintain a permanent home at
Hillsdale, but they spend most
of their time on the road. He
thinks it is the best way an eld
erly couple can spend their gold
en years.
Easy to Move
"The ideal part about living
in a ' trailer," Andrews added
with a wink, "is if you don't
like your neighbors you' can
hitch up and move."
Any camping tourist over 12
years of age can join the act.
.He buys a "hall card" for $1
which will admit him to all con
vention, activities. All members
must agree not to smoke or
drink at sessions.
Andrews looks down on
"squatters," trailerites who set-
only way to enjoy trailer living
is to keep mobile. And he be
lieves a small trailer, "not more
than 30 feet long," is best for
trailerites on the move.
The year 1947 was the post
war baby - boom peak in the
United States. There were 26.6
babies born for every 1,000
people, marking a new record,
according to census bureau reports.
One-third of the hogs in the
U.S. are raised in Iowa and Illinois.
chain," which has expressed con
fidence in the financial feasibil
ity of the scheme, according to
Milton J. Sharp, president of
the electronics company.
In testimony before the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, headed by Sen. Warren
G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) last
week, company officials said
they were confident it would be
cheaper than other systems al
ready installed m some cities
in which towers outside of town
are linked with the town by
coaxial cable.
Sharp said the "pea-shooter"
transmitter on the mountain and
the receiver located in the town
can be installed for $4500.
Concentrating on Northwest
This plan is different from the
one banned last month by the
FCC which was operating at
Bridgeport, Wash., without fed
eral sanction. ' The FCC ruled
mat any scneme to pick up
regular TV broadcasts and re
transmit them into isolated areas
would have to be licensed by
the FCC just like any radio or
television boadcasting station.
- Backers of this proposal claim
it would be applicable in any of
the 600 towns in the country
that do not have their own tele
vision stations, but they are con
centrating immediately oh the
Pacific Northwest because of the
special problem created by
mountainous terrain.
They say it would work equal
ly well in the flat lands of the
midwest, for example, in towns
far from the large city TV sta
tions. In these areas, they would
set up a series of "pea shooter"
transmitters that would pick up
and relay the broadcasts after
convertaing them to a different
frequency approved by the FCC.

Automation May Be
Government Answer;
But With Headaches
Washington (U.P.) Automa
tion the replacing of men with
machines may be the answer
to the problem of a growing fed
eral payroll, government officials
say.
But in government, as in in
dustry, the mere word "automa
tion" brings headaches with it.
Government employes are as
easily shaken by the prospect of
losing their jobs to a machine
as anyone else. Getting money
from the congressional appropri
ations committees to finance ex
pensive new machines also is a
problem. "
Played No Part In Cuts
Automation does not seem to
have played much of a part in
the most recent government pay
roll cuts down about 40,000 in
the last half of 1955 but in
dications are that before long
mechanization will play a big
part in making government
smaller.
A certain amount of machine
work, mostly connected with the
use of punch-card equipment,
has been a part of the govern
ment since World War II. But
it is only recently that federal
agencies have begun to experi
ment with the newest electronic
innovations. Many of the ma
chines have been developed by
the government itself, with most
of the big strides in the field of
atomic energy.
Some Machines Already
The Post Office Department
also is studying the use of ma
chines to help it cut down some
of its mounting deficit. Out of
this has come the recently an
nounced stamp vending machine
which sells stamps automatically
and "talks" recorded messages.
Other examples:
1. A new "super-brain" soon
to go into action in the Social
Security system's Baltimore rec
ords center which will compute
retirement benefits for 100 work
ers every minute, up to four
times faster than the machines
now in use.
2. Machines put in use over
the past 10 years in the Treasury
Departmenfs bureau of public
debt to keep track of interest
payments. This has allowed that
bureau to cut its payroll by al
most one-third.
3000 Workers Pared
3. New tabulating machines
used to compute insurance prem
iums in the Veterans Adminis
tration's insurance division. Be
cause of these machines the VA
has pared more than 3,000 work
ers from its rolls since 1953.
4. A Weather Bureau machine
into which weather information
is fed for daily weather maps of
the United States. One man
would require 64 years to do
what the machine does in eight
minutes.
Magnuson Demands
Marking Explanation
Washington (U.P.) Sen. War
ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) has
demanded to know why all
American goods shipped to for
eign countries are not clearly
and firmly marked "Made in the
United States."
Magnuson, head of the Senate
Commerce Committee, said he
has received several complaints.
Congress directed the Com
merce Department about two
years ago to require all foreign
shipments to" be marked "Made!
in the United States" in bold i
lettering and indelible ink. The
order followed testimony that
Russian representatives in some
foreign ports had changed "Made ,
in the U.S." marking on U.S.;
relief packages to read "Made i
in the U.S.S.R." j
Magnuson said he will ask j
Commerce Department officials!
to appear to a public hearing j
April 10 to explain why the con- j
gressional marking resolution is j
not being carried out. '
