SARNOFF NBC President Written for United Press That television set in your living room will soon be taking on a new importance. Within five years, that set may be tak ing you across the seas in the same way that it now whiks you around trie continent on such shows as ''Wide Wide World." This if not blue-sky talk: Inter national television, with live programs spanning the oceans, is already technically possible. Some day it will be a practical reality. Operas From Italy You may be witnessing opera performances at La Scale in Milan, great sports events at the Velodrome d'Hiver in Paris. Mar di Cras frolics on the Riviera and major news events as they occur in world capitals. When that day comes, we will be ready. At NBC we have set up a department of international operations. Its job is to maintain close contact with TV systems all I over the world. Its aim is to make the top attractions of television I all over the world available to ' American viewers, on a live basis wherever possible. Naturally, international tele vision is a two-way street. We expect our own programs will also become part of the home viewing schedule of other na tions. Last spring, NBC executives sat down in Italy with repre sentatives of the eight European networks which are linked to gether in a hook-up known as Euro-vision. Out of this confer-1 ence came working arrange ments between Eurovision and NBC. All parties concerned were most excited about prospects for transatlantic programming. Today, American television is the most advanced in the world. Contributing to Growth W have acquired a great amount of technical and pro gramming know-how, and we are making it available to TV net works and stations in other na tions. We are also preparing to send teams of consultants to help foreign networks in the de velopmental stage. This is in keeping with the policy of our government and of other pri vate industries in providing tech nical assistance abroad. By helping to develop televi sion skills abroad, and by pre paring for international pro cramming, we hope we are con tributing to the future growth of .sight-and-sound eommunica- 1ir,r o rcu-nrfill force for Plane With 8.300 Turkeys Crash Lands Hooper.

The two men were stranded on the bar about two hours be fore being spotted by a small un identified craft passing over the lake. The plane, only slightly dam aged, probably can continue its flight.
