Battle Over Pay-as-You-See TV Said
Far From Over; Reality Expected Soon
New York (U.R The battle
over pay-as-you-see television
has simmered down for the mo
ment, but it is far from over.
Many industry spokesmen be
lieve the Federal Communica
tions commission may rule on
the controversial subscription
TV system after the November
elections.
Both sides have presented
their cases before the FCC. The
decision, when it comes and
whatever it is, will make a
dramatic milestone In the devel
opment of the young TV indus
try. The big bone of contention is
whether the public should or
would pay a nominal fee, such
as 25 cents or SI, to watch cer
tain TV programs.
Advocates of toll TV say the
public would be willing to pay
to see top feaure films, leading
Broadway shows, exceptional
sporting events, grand opera and
the like. They argue that to sur
vive toll TV would have to offer
something "worth paying for."
The opponents of toll TV
counter with the charge that this
system eventually will destroy
free television and leave Amer
icans with a choice of "no fee
no see."

Delay to End of Klamath
Indian Reservation Favored
Klamath Falls Postpone
ment of the Klamath Indian res
ervation termination, scheduled
for August, 1958, was generally
favored by witnesses Thursday
at a senate interim and inmlar
affairs committee hearing in
Klamath Falls. ,
One of the few expressing dis
favor of postponement of the
termination was Wade Crawford,
a member of the Klamath tribe
Crawford also recently spurred
the suggestion that the federal
government reimburse the In
dians for money used from tri
bal funds to pay salaries and ex
penses of management special
ists. Stop-Gap Legislation
T. B. Waters, Klamath Falls,
and Eugene Favell Sr., Lake
view, both management special
ists, recommended stop-gap leg
islation to delay termination un
fti the law authorizing the ac
tion can be amended.
Rolin E. Bowles, Portland,
secretary of the Oregon division
of the Izaak Walton League of
America, -appealed for preserva
tion of the Klamath marsh in
its present state to protect water
fowl.
Crawford said the Klamath
marsh comprises 70.000 acres
with a permanent water area of
rver less than 30.000 to 40.000
acres."most of which is within
the Klamath reservation.
Other Witnesses
Others testifying included Dr.
DeWitt Safford of the Oregon
Council of Churches; Dorothy
McAnulte. a member of the
Klamath tribe, and William Berg
Jr.. administrative assistant to
U.S. Sen Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.).
Berg read a statement from
Morse recommending that termi
nation be deferred.
Sen. James E. Murray (D.
Mont.) chairman of the commit
tee presided. Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D.-Ore.) was the
only other committee member
present. Congressman Sam Coon
of Baker had been invited to sit
tit III list Fir lis 100 Titliu 4!c
with the committee, but refused
to participate. He claimed the
hearing was politically inspired.
Sen. Murray denied the hearing
had any political implications.
He said he was interested only
in facts and pertinent informa
tion concerning the Indian ter
mination problem. He added the
hearing was being held because
many persons had written to
him requesting a chance to give
their views of the termination
problems.
Sen. Neuberger expressed
agreement with management
specialists that the government
should purchase the entire res
ervation and incorporate it in
the national forest.
Los Angeles U.B A sign
reading "Ear rings at three for
a dollar" was removed from a
jewelry store window shortly af
ter a customer expressed doubt
there were "any three-eared
women in town."
vision Corp. and booster of toll
TV. told the United Press "We
know our survival will depend
not upon how much toothpaste
or cereal we sell, but upon our
ability to create and transmit
programs for which viewers will
pay a price in the face of their
ability to receive other programs
without charge."
Extra Service
Levey, whose company is one
of three in the U. S. which has
developed a pay-TV system, said
toll TV will supplement and not
supplant free television.
He said less than a third of the
1,875 available TV channels are
being used today because "the
advertising dollar cannot be
stretched far enough to support
them all.
"Subscriber-television would
bring new income to the tele
casting industry." he said. "That
would mean more stations on the
air, which in turn would mean
greater program offerings. Most
of these additional programs
will be free, since the normal
station will devote only a frac
tion of its time to toll telecasts."
Levey pointed out that Broad
way hits such as "South Pacific"
and "My Fair Lady" could reach
more people in one toll TV pro
gram than in years of perform
ances in one theater. He said the
same it true-for the opera and
movies.
"The result would be a nation
wide audience, with millions of
American homes being box of
fices." Support from Sports
The sporting world has come
out particularly strong in favor
of subscription TV. The National
College Athletic association has
gone on record favoring it. So
have many major league base
ball teams.
Levey said the box office loss
caused by TV is not compen
sated for revenues from TV. He
said this is the reason many
sporting events are "blacked
out" locally.
He said a recent survey by
Alfred Politz Research, Inc., for
a national magazine showed that
19.7 million persons over 15
years old would be willing to
pay $1 for a World Series game
on TV.
Levey explained that toll TV
programs would be broadcast in
a coded or scrambled form. The
viewer would have a detector
attached to his set which would
unscramble the audio signal
when he deposited a coin or. in
Skiatron's case, inserted an IBM
card into the device.
