THE TV PROBLEM
Television has been caught
perpetrating a fraud which is
so gigantic that it calls into
question the fourfdations of
the industry.
The fraud was not the work
of a few cheats who had
wormed their
way into the
com pany of
honest men.
The fraud was
too big, too ex
tensive, too
well organ
ized to b e
cured or aton
e d for by
thro wing a
few conspicuous individuals
to the wolves, and by putting
on a pious show of scrupulos
ity about the details of the
productions.
'.There has been, in fact, an
enormous conspiracy to de
ceive the public in order to
sell profitable advertising to
the sponsors. It involves not
merely this individual or
that, but the industry as a
whole. This is the judgment
of the leading professional
critics of television on both
the ''New York Herald Trib
une" and the "New . York
Times." Mr. John Crosby has
said that the "moral squalor
of the quiz mess reaches clear
through the whole industry."
Mr. Jack Gould has said that
the fraud could not have been
carried out without "the con
stant involvement of repre
sentatives of networks, adver
tising agencies, and sponsors."
THE size of the fraud is a
bitter reflection on the
moral condition of our so
ciety. But it is also sure proof
that there is something radi
cally wrong with the funda
mental national policy under
which television operates.
The principle of that policy is
that for all practical purposes
television shall be operated
wholly for private profit.
There is no competition in
television except among com
petitors trying to sell the at
tention of their audiences for
profit. As a result, while tele
vision is supposed to be
"free," it has in fact become
the creature, the servant, and
indeed the prostitute, of mer
chandizing. Television is expensive and
the available channels are
few. These channels are pos
sessed by a few companies
who are in fierce competition
among themselves. But what
are they competing about?
About how to capture the
largest mass audience which
can be made to look at and
listen to the most profitable
advertising.
IN THIS competition, as in
Gresham's famous law of
money, the bad money drives
out the good. In order to cap
ture the largest mass audi
ence the companies have re
sorted to fraud as in the case
of the quiz shows. But, rep
rehensible as it is to play the
gullible public for suckers,
that is not the worst of their
offending. The worst things
they do are first to poison the
innocent by the exhibition of
violence, degeneracy, ' a n d
crime, and second, to debase
the public taste. ' -' -"
According to "Newsweek,"
the television networks de
cided about a year, ago that
in the coming season, during
the prime evening hours
which draw the biggest audi
ences, they would devote-to
violence a total of 24 hours a
week. ,
"Heroes and villains crum
ple under the impact of black
jacks, whisky bottles,
wrenches and even gold-headed
canes. A goggle-eyed pub
lic sits by while its f eUow
humans are pistol - whipped
stabbed, garrotted, mugged,
and mussed up.".

Menace

Uppmann
TffHAT to do about it? The
great offense of the tele
vision industry is that it is
misusing a superb scientific
achievement, that it is monop
olizing the air at the expense
of effective news reporting,
good art, and civilized enter
tainment. The crux of the
evil is that in seeking great
mass audiences, the industry
has decided from its experi
ence that the taste of great
masses is a low one, and that
to succeed in the competition
it must pander to this low
taste.
Quite evidently, this is an
evil which cannot be reme
died by a regulating commis
sion or by some form of gov
ernment or self-constituted
censorship. The alternative,
which is practiced in one form
or another in almost every
other civilized country, is
competition - competition not
for private profit but for pub
lic service. The best line for
us to take is, I am convinced,
to devise a way by which one
network can be run as a pub
lie service with its criterion
not what will be most popu
lar, but what is good.
No doubt, this network
would not attract the largest
mass audience, i But if it en
listed the great 'talents which
are available in the industry,
but are now throttled and
frustrated, it might .well at
tract an audience which made
up in influence what it lacked
in numbers. The force of a
good example is a great force,
and should not be underrated.
WE SHOULD not, I believe,
shrink from the idea that
such a network would have
to be subsidized and endowed.
Why not? Js there any doubt
that television is a mighty in
strument of education-education
for good or education for
evil? Why should it not be
subsidized and endowed as
are the universities and the
public schools and the explor
ation of space and modern
medical research, and indeed
the churches - and so many
other institutions which are
essential to a good society, yet
cannot be operated for profit?
They are unwise friends of
our system of private capital
ism who do not recognize the
fact that the higher lift of our
society depends on respect for
and support of non-commercial
institutions. It is true
that the best way for this
country to produce wealth is
by private enterprise for pri
vate profit. But there are a
lot of other things that need
to be done besides producing
wealth and selling goods.
rjNE of them is to inform,
"instruct, and entertain the
people through the media of
mass communications. And
among these media there
must be some which aim not
at popularity and profit but
at excellence and the good
life.
That it is possible to oper
ate non-commercial institu
tions is attested by the fact
that we do operate success
fully schools, universities,
hospitals, laboratories of re
search. Harvard and Yale and
Princeton and Columbia and
Dartmouth and so on are not
operated for profit. Their trus
tees do not play politics. They
are concerned with excellence
and not with making money.
.-. Why should not people of
this sort be able to find ways
to operate a television net
work? (c) 1959 New York Herald)

Matter of Fact
By Joseph Alsop
BETWEEN KHRUSHCHEV
AND MAO
Hongkong - What is the
real nature of the Soviet-Chinese
Communist partnership?
T"J T Is it easy or
I -'"t: uneasy? Is it
x ' 4, intimate or
I '"Mremote? If
$ s there are fric-
f. l uons, where
is the rub?
These ques
tions sum up
one of the
most impor
tant problems
Jns'Dh Alsop
in the modern world. It is a
problem wrapped in mystery.
Yet enough evidence has now
piled up to permit a tentative
solution.
Unhappily, before tackling
the problem, it is first neces
sary to hack away the enor
mous hedge of misleading
cliches that has grown up
around it. In this tangle of
growth uprooted in fact, the
worst specimen is the theory
that the Soviet leaders deeply
fear an eventual invasion of
the "empty, lands" of Siberia
by countless millions of land
hungry Chinese.
"Look," say the proponents
of this theory, "at the vast ef
fort the Soviets are making
to populate and develop their
empty lands." But seeing fear
of China in this Soviet effort
is like saying that we Ameri
cans developed and populated
our own empty lands from
fear of the Mexicans. The So
viets have the same motive
for expanding into their wild
East that we had for expand
ing into our wild West. ,
MEANWHILE, there is also
positive evidence that the
Soviets are not afraid of Chi
nese land hunger. The evi
dence is located in Outer
Mongolia, an area once close
ly linked to imperial China,
and populated by people of a
related race.
If the Soviets were worried
by Chinese infiltration into
"empty lands," Outer Mongo
lia would worry them most of
all. In the whole Soviet col
lection of satellites and pup
pet,, Outer Mongolia is also
the super-satellite, the prize
puppet. Yet the Outer Mon
golian government has actu
ally been sponsoring Chmese
immigration since 1955.
This sponsored Chinese im
migration into the most sensi
tive of the "empty lands" is
part of the Outer Mongolian
government's published eco
nomic plan a plan in which
any item would be altered at
a mere nod from" the Krem
lin. It only goes to show the
durability of cliches. For this
Kremlin approved' importa
tion of 20,000 and more Chi
nese has lately been used to
prove - the Kremlin's alleged
need to tremble for its "emp
ty" lands.
." ' . '
THERE is other evidence on
the same line, such as the
Kremlin-financed construction
of the rail link from Ulan-Ba
tor, which gives China easy
access to Outer Mongolia.
Moreover the true axis of ex
pected Chinese expansion in
the future has already been
clearly indicated.
From Mindanao in the Phil
ippines, through Southern In
dochina, Cambodia, Laos, Si
am, Malaya, Sumatra, and on
westwards into Burma, there
is a great belt of land, rich
in resources, suitable for rice
growing, and almost as empty
by China's special standards
as our own wild West in the
old days. This belt of land
has been the obvious objec
tive of the Soviet-supported
Chinese imperialist drive
throughout the last .decade.
Cliche clearance is rough
work, and only one has been
chopped down so far. One
more major cliche, already
touched upon in a previous
report, must also be cleared
for good. This is the theory
that the peaceably Khrush
chev is always having trouble
"restraining" the warlike Mao
Tse-Tung. Some seeming sup
port for this theory has re
cently been provided by the
Chmese attack on Indian bor
der police in Ladakh. This in
cident runs counter to the
Kremlin's evident desire for
an end to the border troubles
between China and India. But
at the point in Ladakh -where
the trouble arose, the Chi
nese have boldly built 40
miles of costly and difficult
road, straight through Indian
territory, from Gartock to
Yarkand. They have already
indicated their willingness to
go along with the Kremlin on
the general question of the
Indian-Tibetan border. But
they plainly mean to keep
their strategic Gartok-Yark-
and road link in any de facto
or arbitrated settle ment.
Hence the recent incident.
THIS incident does not alter
the record, that the Chi
nese have never attempted
any adventure involving mili
tary, risk without full Soviet
approval. This incident does
not alter the key fact, either,
that China cannot possibly
sustain a serious war strain
without active Soviet support.
In short, the Chinese may

Mining Hurt
To the Editor: Two West
ern mining states, Idaho and
California, bordering on Ore
gon, each have had ghost
mines the - past - five years.
Here is an item taken from
the Western Mining News of
Sonora, Calif., September is
sue 1959. Heading, "Food for
Thought."
"Did you know that since
World- War II nearly $500
million of our tax money has
been earmarked for develop
ment of mining in foreign
countries? More than $350
million has been spent. Now
it is coming back in the form
of imports which have put
many United States miners
out of work, and which have
knocked dividends down or
out."
Not a very bright picture,
is it? What hurts these indus
trial states also has its ma
terial effects on the state of
Oregon as well. Once upon a
time each mining state pro
duced for use in the West.

The Communist leadership's
answer for this was to in

sending party workers out
through the rank and file to
explain this unpalatable bit

In the Day's News
By PRANK JENKINS
All over the world today,
morning newspapers printed
pictures of the back side of
the moon -never before seen
by man. To the average lay
man, the pictures are no great
shakes. His private, personal,
not for publication opinion,
as he looked them oyer, war
probably something like this.
"If that's what the back side
of the moon looks like, we
haven't been missing much."

The text accompanying the
pictures was more explicit.
Quoting Vasily Lobastov,' as
sistant chief engineer of a de
partment of the Soviet state
radio electronics committee,
it added this description of
the feat accomplished by Lu
nik III:
"Lunik's photo - television
equipment oriented the inter
planetary station - in space,
trained its cameras on the
moon, photographed it in two
different scales, DEVELOPED
AND DRIED THE FILM in
zero gravity and then TRANS
MITTED THE PICTURES TO
EARTH." -
THAT, Mr. Average Lay
man has to admit, is some
thing. ;
If a man can build a ma
chine to do that, there are
few limitations to what a man
can do.
That's the lesson of the Lu
nik's back side of the moon
pictures.

glory of sending a robot
camerman around the moon
and photographing it and
sending the picture back to
earth.

somebody had to invent the

Somebody had to invent tele
