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.--.

World Uncertainties, Shifting Alliances,
Put Diplomacy in 'Suspended Animation'
By I'll II, NEWSO.M
L'PI Foreign .News Analyst
perhaps not since the weeks
immediately following the end
of World War II has world dip-;
lomacy hung,
as now in such
a state of sus
pended anima
tion. 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.

who are the best in the world,
would now be meeting the food

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. Mao's Stalinist
