First Pay TV
Said Failure,
Meters Needed
Bartlesville, Okla. 0P
The nation's first pay tele
vision system has failed to
make money and wil be sus
pended June 6 pending de
velopment of some means to
charge by program instead of
a flat monthly fee, the presi
dent of the firm announced
yesterday.
Nearly 800 persons are sub
scribing to the $4.95 a month
entertainment known as Tele
movies, which began last Sep
tember, but, Henry S. Grif
fing; president of Video In
dependent Theaters, said the
system has continued to lose
money.
"The concept of a package
of pictures for a fixed month
ly ch'arge is wrong," Griffing
said in a statement released
at his office in Oklahoma
City.
"Subcribers must be
charged by the picture, using
a metering device either
a coin box or a monitoring
system that will register the
programs viewed in each
home. No adequate meter is
now available in quantity for
delivery."
Griffing also said his sys
tem suffered because of the
'"hundreds of movies shown
fret on television." He said
the pay-TV concept must be
broadened to include other
types of programs such as
sports, educational and artis
tic presentations.

The exact date was not given.

of years.

220 miles northeast of Van
couver. The blaze, which destroyed
the reserve school and hospi
tal, followed two explosions
in the remote Indian commu
nity. The flames quickly envel
oped the frame building and
rescue attempts failed when
several of the men tried to
crash a wall of the hospital
to save the infants.
The settlement and the
nearest community, Alexis
Creek, six miles away, were
without the use of a fire de
partment and parents watch
ed helplessly as the blaze
raged through both sections
of the building.

other sisters were in the resi
dential section of the building
at the time.
Split Threatens
Confederate Group
Knoxville, Tenn. HP)
There appears to be a threat
of civil war in the local chap
ter of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy. At least a
civil court battle.
One group of members al
ready have seceded, accusing
the chapter's officers of using
steamroller tactics to push
through a proposal to buy
new quarters for the group.
Chancellor Charles E. Daw
son made a conciliatory move
Thursday, temporarily enjoin
ing the officers from pur
chasing the new building.
But the dissident faction
said the rift "cannot be mend
ed." The rebels have filed a
court action asking a division
of the group's assets so they
can form a chapter of their
own.
