I'ifc.i Controls and Irritation Both Win Marks of" K BOY and Ray Johnson! of KMED have called us in recent days to call our attention to a proposal that the Federal Com-, munications Commission regulate the amount of time which can be allocated to commercials in any piven period. r.i The National Association of Broadcaster? is, naturally enough, fighting such a proposal as hard as it can. Jt should, too, and we agree that governmental regulation of the number of com mercials than can be broadcast would be but a step toward government control of othoy things program content, for one thing, and, later,' perhaps even the expression of opinion. j jo we re with the. B UT, It is our conviction that the broadc.-tcr? , are wholly to blame for the fact that such a rcg illation ever was proposed in the first place. For various reasons?, we'tPavc been watching, more TV in recent days than is our custom, fori one thing to take in some of the new programs' and the new series of older shows. ! We've also watched a TV movie or two, and a few football and baseball games. T HE RESULT is that eial severe bouts nauseam a painful ailment affecting the gorge. At station breaks there are anywhere from four to six different commercials. Movies are in teruptcd at what seem to be five-nynute intervals for three to six commercials, repeated to the point of insanity. If the broadcasters could hear the moans, croans and expletives which arise when yet an other commercial interrupts things, we believe 'they would think twice before inflicting quite so many on patient and not-so-patient viewers. (One viewer voiced his attitude by saying, "Boy, I'd never go to that place, if they gave me the keys to the joint." And that is a not untypical reaction of bitter resentment, not only at the sta tions, but at tne advertisers who ciflroaeh too much on a viewer's enjoyment.) m - MO, GOVERNMENT has no business in telling a station how many commercials it may carry. That isyie business of the station, and of the advertiser. But it occurs to us to wonder if it is good busi ness for the stations and the advertisers to alien ate viewers.,and bring threats of gioi ernmenl con trol, by the blatant, repetitious, .eontinued and frequent interrcfens of programs. It is, of course, a matter for the TV stations and the advertisers to decide. But as one irritated viewer, we protest. E. A. Some New Shows Speaking of the new TV season, it appears to be a mixed bag, as far as this vita&aais concerned. The good is very, very good. The bad is hor rid. The mediocre is, well, mediocre. As usual. "Mr. Novak," the story of a new high school teacher, was top flight t We hope all teachers (students and parents, too, for that matter) have a chance to see it. Highly rceoPM&cnded. Danny Kaye is always delightful, sometimes better than others. His first show was good, even if it didn't take full advantage of his comic genius. But the guyis so self-evidently a decent, good, kind person one eannot help but like him and, mostly, what he does. "OURK'S LAW" is a who-dunnii thriller, rather - a cut above the usual, and w ith an off-beat vj.i. : The cop is a millionaire, and rides to his detecting in a Rolls Royce. l'hil Silver's new show has possibilities, al though we liked him better as Sgt. Bilko. The first show, which pitted his uninhibited andclar cenous spirit against a computer, was amusing. Sid Caesar and Edie Adamsjeft much to be desired in the first show of their new series. Caesar is a clinic ofparts, but they didn't fit together well. ! ,)udy Garland (and.e are of tne generation j which lias seen "The Wizard of O::" a dozen j times and whose favorite laeiytnal turV is "Over i the Rainbow") was frankly a disappointment. ! She was a lovely child and is now a lo ely woman. ! And Donald O'Connor has long neeii a favorite. But concentration on nostalgia and past triumphs. coupled with uneven direction, left us sadly wish ling for a more sprightly approach and a greater ilisojiiy of her undoubted talent.--.

The cold war is s t i 1 1 with us and the picture to obscure the once sharp lines dividing the world into two camps. The Communist world has discovered there is no such thing as coequal dictators and the struggle lor leadership has divided the Soviet Union and Red China. Changes also have come to Ihc Western world, once secure in its Atlantic Pact and aiming toward a united Europe spur red by the impetus of a new prosperity under the European Common Market So neither the Communist world nor Western Europe are . quite sure where they are go ing, and (or the United States the direction each finally will take is a mattet1 of vital con cern. Within the broad framework other elements also are bring ing about changes. In Europe there has beer- the gradual decline of the conserva tive parties which for years have ruled the destinies of the major powers and a stronger voice for socialism in Britain, West Germany and Italy. President Charles de Gaulle of France stands almost alone as a towering remnant of the past. And il is the collision be tween this towering remnant of t;;e past and wha.' other west ern leaders regard as the course' of the future which to day leads to a reassessment of Western policy, military, eco nomic and political. Still another force at work is the growing industrial might of nations now fully recovered from the damages of war. putting a kid through school.

And Ihc Chinese farmers, who are the best in the world, would now be meeting the food needs of this transformed China by the same intensive use of fertilizer that has produced such astonishing results in Japan. The same economists who would have predicted death by starvation of three-quarters of the immigrants into Hong Kong will no doubt smile in a superior way at this picture of the China that might have been. But these economists, like the vast ma jority of other Westerners, do not understand the. .foundations of China's greatness. rpHERE are four, as follows: the family system; an i:t comparable talent for capital creation: a proper respect for fertilizer: and the habit of work ing together, in labor corvees or otherwise.
