MAIL TRIBUNE Toll TV Toll Television or "subscription TV," as Madi son Avenue types prefer to a - : ti - uul ox uie expei mieiiuu suite, xiumcctiiy, uie mm theater industrv. wherein sonant with obscenity, may contribute the first solid backing. The situation is this. Three groups have applied to the Los Angeles City council for a franchise to op erate home-toll television council already has tken the necessary preliminary steps. These provide, among other items, a 21-year franchise, for which the holder of the francise would post with the city a $100,000 ful performance," and pay percent of annual gross income. One of these groups, combining in a joint applica tion, is composed of i ox W ation and International Telemeler Corporation. Fox West Coast is a subsidiary oration, whose late president, Charles P. Skouras, was once chairman of the board of Theatre Owners of America. This in the past has been one of the bitter est opponents of home-toll TV. flDDLY enough, International Telemeter is a wholly w owned subsidiary of ation, one of the major producers and distributors of movies. Variety comments that the joint application "brings right out in the open a split among the hier archy of a major film industry trade organizations, Theatre Owners of America. All three groups in Los Angeles scrambling for a franchise the others Hamscope, Inc. plan to tems. Inasmuch as no program would be radiated into space being, instead, transmitted by wire it s gen erally considered that no authorization by the Federal Communications commission is needed. Not, at least, so long as the transmissions remain intrastate in char acter. THE FCC, meantime, is expected shortly to author- x ize widespread tests of conventional i.e. telecast man John C. Doerfer on FCC wouldn t pass the subscription-TV buck to Con gress. In a letter to Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) of the House Judiciary committee, Doerfer noted that the commission s pay-TV proceedings had been initia ted more than two years ago. "In the absence of Con gressional action," wrote Doerfer, "... it is the com missions duty to make some disposition of the pending petitions to authorize toll OELLEJl, chairman as well of an Antitrust subcom- w mittee that has kept a watchlul eye on the televis ion industry, is sponsoring a bill to prohibit any TV station from imposing "a toll, ee, subscription or oth er charge" for programs received in the home. Celler has been particularly concerned over plans to put the Dodgers on home-toll TV next year, after they leave their, and Celler's, native Brooklyn for Los Angeles. In this connection, movie theatre owners present ing their own form of pay-as-you see TV in the f orm of closed-circuit telecasts of big fights now find it embarrassing to argue that home-toll TV would de prive the set owner of programs ordinarily telecast free. This may explain the trend towrard acceptance by theater owners, of which the Los Angeles experi ment is only the latest example. E.R.R. Opportunity for Youth With all due respect to the oldster who gives the high-school graduate the benefit of his experience especially as it relates to jobs, future and security he sometimes mistakes his added years for wisdom. And no matter how sincerely he wants to protect the younger ones from the mistakes he made, nor how politely and appreciatively the teen-ager listens, the ultimate decision must be the youth's own. He must do what he likes best, or thinks he can. He must weigh his talents and liabilities, judge the things that excite him or leave him cold, appraise his capacities and lim itations. Frequently, parents forget the kinds of work avail able these days jobs that didn't exist when they were teen-agers. A case in point is that of the x-ray tech nician. X-rays were only discovered 61 years ago. Today a boy or girl high school graduate can prepare himself for this highly-specialized job in two years at any one of 500 approved x-ray training schools. Or else he can rnmnlete four veare to earn a college decree. When he graduates and paes the exam of the American Registry of X-Ray Technicians, he is certified as a Registered Technician. From 'Here on in, he is prepared for a professional position of both respect and security in medicine, in industiy (where health examinations and x-ray in spections in industrial processes are being increas ingly used) in government and in public health agen cies. In the medical world he's known as the "radiolo gist's right hand." He processes x-ray filmsln the dark room and generally assists the radiologist, a graduate physician who has prepared himself through years of further study as an x-ray specialist. There are roughly 4,000 of these highly trained specialists practicing in the U. S. today. And if the technician takes further training, he then becomes equipped to assist the radio logist in the actual administration of x-ray therapy. J.A.O. Wednesday.

During his absence- special Washington dispatches are being written by other members of the UP Washington staff. Today's is by the head of the UP Senate staff. By RAYMOND LAHR United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) President Eisenhower has a committee con sulting with governors about ways for the federal govern ment to turn back some of its functions and tax levies to the states, And Senator Barry Goldwa ter (R-Ariz.) is proposing that xtaymona Lanr Congress con sult governors before it launches any new programs of federal aid to the states or expands old ones, These two efforts point ud an old issue about which there has been much talk but little action, Eisenhower's committee and committee representing the gov ernors stuck a toe in the water at a meeting last week end at Hershey, Pa. Ike Proposes Meeting Ihe meeting was an outgrowth or a proposal made by the Presi dent when he addressed the an nual governors' conference at Williamsburg, Va., two months ago. In effect he asked the gov ernors to put up or shut up if tney believe the federal govern ment should have fewer func tions and the states more. Goldwater cited the joint move to realign government functions in a Senate speech Tuesday night. He also introduced a reso lution to require Senate com mittees to poll the governors whenever they consider bills that would put another tap on the federal treasury for aid to states. He felt it would be a tough job to halt the trend toward more federal aid which he said had doubled in the past four years. He said pressure from special interest groups and federal bu reaus would make it tough. Some of the governors have thought of other problems, par ticularly on the sensitive issue of raising state taxes to pay for some of the functions they would take over. Economic competition between states in an effort to at tract and retain industry is a factor in framing their tax laws, Suggested Tax Proposals At the Hershey meeting a ten tative agreement was reached on taxes which would not have much effect on the location of industry. It was proposed that Russia Closes Big Water Area Washington Of) Russia has closed the wide area of Peter the Great bay off Vladi vostok in order to screen mili tary activities, experts said to day. Vladivostok is the chief Pacif ic naval base for the Soviet Union. Many of Russia's 500 submaries are reported to be operating out of it in Pacific waters. Experts said there are indi cations the Russians are build ing up their Pacific naval forces headquartered at Vladivostok and are taking measures to pro tect the area from observation. The United States made pub lic Tuesday a strong protest to Moscow against what it called the "unlawful" Soviet Action closing the 115-mile-wide, 55-mile-long to navigation by for eign ships and foreign planes. The Soviet Council of Ministers on July 20-said Soviet permis sion would have to be obtained prior to any future sea-air entry into the area. REALLY GOT LESS? states take over such taxes as are now levied by the federal gov ernment on local telephone serv ice and entertainment, and that states take a begger share of gift and inheritance taxes. The two committees also agreed the state ought to take over part or all of the work now done by the federal government in handling the school lunch pro gram, vocational education, dis aster relief and payments to the needy aged. The federal budget for the cur rent year estimates federal spending for aid to state and local governments at more than $3,800,000,000, a little more than 5 per cent of the budget. This does not include $1,600,000,000 in federal aid for highway con struction which is now disbursed from a trust fund outside the regular budget. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Business note: Down in the Sacramento val ley there is a little restaurant. The building in which it is lo cated isn't a costly one. But it is attractive. It is located near a small city park -containing a swimming pool. It is on one of the nation's big highways. The restaurant seats about 30 people, half of them at tables and the other half at a counter along the wall. It has been well designed and is a cozy and pleas ant little place. Its customers, for the most part, come off the highway. "DUT it isn't of the restaurant that I want to speak in this piece. It is the people who run it that make it interesting. There are three of them. Two work in the kitchen. The other waits on the tables. She works at high speed, almost running most of the time. She not only waits on the tables, taking the orders and passing them on to the kitchen crew and bringing the food out to the customers when it is ready. She is the cashier as well, taking in the money and keeping it straight. She has her hands full. The members of the kitchen crew must have their hands full also. They turn out the food as fast as the waitress can deliver it. They are good cooks. The food is excellent. Preparing excellent food requires skill, and prepar ing it on time, so that the cus tomers will be kept happy, calls for speed and efficiency. OVER the highway from the little restaurant is a motel. There are many motels along this great highway. Here in mid summer of the year 1957, there are many vacancy signs. Tour ists are not quite as numerous this year as they had been ex pected to be. But there is seldom a vacancy sign at this particular motel. If you are going to arrive later than mid-afternoon and want to get in, you'd better phone ahead for a reservation. Why? Weil, it's nice. It is relatively new, and it has been well kept up. The service is good, and the people who give the service are pleasant and friendly. It can be accurately described as the kind of place people like. ITTHY speak of this situation as 'a note on American business in tnis year wnen tne boom isn't quite as wild as it has been for some time past? Here's why: When asked how their busi ness is going, the hgrd-working proprietors of the little restau rant smile happily and reply: We never had it so good. The motel awners give the same answer. fFHERE must be something to -- this crack about building a better mousetrap and finding that customers will beat a path to your door. Today and By Walter THE STALEMATE There is increasing evidence, it seems to me, that the stale mate in the cold war has become r""" so deep that . Ai I neither side has much hope or much fear that it will soon be brok en. The ritual of proposals, offers, demands and d e c 1 a r a tions goes on. Halter Lippmxnn But there is little pretense that they are seri ous in the sense that they are steps in a genuine negotiation. What we are now saying to the Russians and what they are now saying to us about Germany, China, the Middle East, and dis armaments is said without any expectation that it may lead to an agreement. We are talking to the West Germans and the Russians are talking to the East Germans. Each of us is laying down terms which presuppose that the other side has made an unconditional surrender. On disarmament we would like the Russians' to give up their great advantage their capacity to conceal their inten tions and to spring a surprise. The Russians would like us to give up our great advantage, which is that we have bases within striking distance of the heart of the Soviet Union. These are some of the marks of the stalemate. For the time being, the balance of power is such that there is no prospect of a general war, and there is no compulsion to settle the issue. The real concern of both coali tions of the NATO powers and of the Warsaw powers is inside their own spheres of interest and influence. Khrushchev is making a determined effort to hold the satellite empire in line. We are greatly concerned at the turmoil and the hostility in the Arab lands on our side of the iron curtain. see SINCE change Is in the nature of things, we know that this stalemate will not persist for ever. The overriding question is how the stalemate may come to an end. There are two main possibili ties. One is by what is known as a technological breakthrough which would give one side or the other undoubted military su periority. The other is by that erosion and dissolution of alli ances and allegiances which is going on within the two coali tions. There is erosion in eastern Europe, which is obviously a great worry to the Kremlin. There is erosion in French North Africa, in the British Middle East, and m - the American sphere of interest from Formosa and Okinawa to Japan. ON THE whole, the probabili ties seem to be that if the stalemate dissolves, it will be be cause of the great political changes that are taking place within the two coalitions. It is not, of course, for a layman to say there will not be a decisive technological breakthrough that will radically alter the military balance of power. But a layman can say that foreign policy can not be founded on the possibility that something, which is not happening, could conceivably happen some day nevertheless. Moreover, the new invention would have to be a very big one say, some easily produced device, unknown and unavail able to the other side, which would be an almost perfect de fense against bombers and mis siles. For the stalemate will al most certainly not be broken as long as both sides have the pow er to inflict terrible and crip pling blows on each other. The history of invention shows, it seems to me, that where there is such intense com petition as between the Soviet Union and ourselves where the best brains from all over the world are mobilized on the problem, where such great re sources are available, the chances are very small that there will be a new invention which, if it is decisive, is also unique. rIS more probable, then, that when the stalemate dissolves it will be because, of political developments in Germany, in Eastern Europe, in North Africa and the Middle East, in China and in Japan. The one thing that can be said of all these problem areas, of these unsettled lands, is that the influence of the great powers is declining. It has been declining ever since the second World War. The Soviet sphere- of influence is big. But it is not so big as it threat ened to be a few years ago as witness the resistance of Eastern Europe and the approach of China to a position of equality. Our own sphere of influence is also big. But the days are past Stops Heart Gas 3 Times Faster An vnutni little Ulaek tabltt contalnlRf tha fuiMt-tcting audit-in knows, it tokini thm country by item.

As power declines, the prob lems of diplomacy become more difficult, requiring more knowl edge, more insight, more sym pathy, and more delicacy. That is one reason why it is worse today than it used to be to send out to the Embassies the well-meaning- but the ignorant. (Copyright 1957 New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) Matter of Fact By Joseph AUop EISENHOWER-MACMILLAN Paris In a month and half spent shuttling back and forth across the English Channel, on various errands and occasions, this reporter has formed some rather vivid and not always agreeable impressions of the HH 'i inn, i isy present siaie oi uie Western A I liance. Before taking to the road again it seems worth while to try to sort these out. T3 a nin;nfr Joseph Alsop then, with the second Western ally, the most strikins feature of the new British Government of Harold Macmillan is the com pleteness of its break with the past. In this, the Macmillan gov ernment strongly resembles the Eisenhower administation. As one looks back, the two Truman . administations seem more and more like continua tions of the war period in Amer ica. The ideas, attitudes, allied relationships anil standards of national effort established dur ing the second World War con tinued to dominate the Ameri can scene while Truman was in the White House. Many of the same old faces were seen at the Truman policy tables. There was the same continuity of per sonalities and viewpoints in London, too, during Britain's Attlee, Churchill and Eden gov ernments. e e e Tut in London today, as in " Washington four years ago, the wartime ideas and attitudes, relationships and standards. have been brtskly jettisoned at last. Some of the resulting American-Britain echoes are really ironically exact. For example, former Minister of Defense Antony Head was dropped from the Macmillan cabinet, not because of Suez as is widely supposed, but simply because he refused to adopt the slogan, "Budget first, defense second" which has so long been familiar in the Eisenhower administration. By the same to ken the program of Head's suc cessor, Defense Minister Duncan Sandys, is nothing but the fa mous Radford plan of American defense revived and adapted for British requirement. Again, with Lord Salisbury, Sir Anthony Eden and Antony Head, the last men who have tlje old wartime feeling about the Anglo- American partnership have now left the British Gov ernment, just as the last such men left the American Govern ment in 1953. Today, Prime Minister Macmillan is one real link with the past partnership in London, as is the President in Washington. On top of this,- there has been just the sort of thing here that occurred when Dean G. Acheson, who cared a great deal more about the atmosphere in the . Western Alliance than the atmosphere on Capitol Hill, was replaced by John Foster Dulles, who put Senatorial sensitivities so far ahead of Allied sensitivi ties. In the British case, the same Foreign Secretary, Selwjfn Lloyd, has remained on the job, but the priorities have been al tered none the less. The new system of priorities was revealed, for example, in the Macmillan government's de cision to defy the State Depart ment in the matter of trade with China. The Government's own experts were unanimous that Britain would not make any great economic gain by changing From Far and Near...

Main ASHLAND We Never Close than Unique Fishing Craft Seen in Columbia Astoria IB The Coast Guard today reported a new type of fishing craft seen in the Colum bia river here. Guardsmen found a young Portlander fishing from an inner tube about 100 feet off the north jetty at the mouth of the river. Only a piece of light fishing line which ran to shore was holding him. ' Officers said a strong ebb tide would have swept him to sea if the line had broken. Coast Guardsmen stood by as the youth worked his way to the jetty and safety. the China trade rules. But being publicly rude to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was bound to delight the entire House of Commons; and so the deed was done. AH this, no doubt, was in evitable. The American policy makers, after all, were the first to downgrade the Anglo-American partnership and the Western Alliance. The process reached the explosion-point when Secre tary Dulles, having himself precipitated the Suez crisis, then blandly tried to shove his own handiwork under the rug. The result was the desperate British attempt to safeguard Britain's vital Middle Eastern interests by independent action with the French. The disastrous conclusion of the Suez crisis in turn pro duced the present situation. The Macmillan government, in a very real sense, is the direct consequence of the British fail ure at Suez. So is the stormy wave of anti-Americanism which has engulfed Britain. Suez in truth was the real turning-point, when the British break with the past occurred. The break is dangerous, more over, not because it has pro duced a tendency to be publicly rude to Secretary Dulles about such matters as China trade. It is dangerous, rather, because post-Suez Britain suffers from a basic schozophrenia. On the one hand, there is tacit acceptance of the fact that Bri tain cannot afford to go on act ing as a really great power which was the real reason why Lord Salisbury left the govern ment. On the. other hand, there is the determination to be more than ever independent of the United States which showed itself so strongly in the unsuc cessful Buraimi negotiations that leddan to the present risky mess in Oman. It is easy to see that these two British attitudes are funda mentally contradictory and therefore likely to lead to bad trouble in tne end. But it is also clear that this British schizo phrenia will not be cured with out some highly creative think ing about the future of the whole Western Alliance in Washington.
