JEFFERSON SERIES READY FOR SEPTEMBER RELEASE

The principles and ideas of Thomas Jefferson as applied throughout the course of
American history are to be depicted in a series of radio programs on "The Jeffersonian
Heritage" that soon will be presented under the auspices of the National Association
of Educational Broadcasters* The NAEB Board of Directors has authorized the release
of the series as of September lit, 1952*

In announcing the new thirteen-week series, Seymour N. Siegel, President of NAEB,
disclosed that the broadcasts on Jefferson will be the first of many sets of programs
devised to give the radio-listening public a lively insight into matters of histori¬
cal and contemporary significance.*

FAE Grant Financed Series

Broadly conceived to afford a perspective on significant topics that will at
once inform, entertain and educate, the new NAEB programs have, been made possible
under a $300,000 grant from the Fund for Adult Education established by the Ford
Foundation* V ; \ \ •

The special adult education committee of the NAEB which has planned and will
produce the new sets of radio program series consists of George Probst of. the Uni¬
versity of Chicago, chairman; Parker Wheatley, Lowell Institute Cooperative Broad¬
casting Council; Richard B. Hull* Iowa State College; Harold. B. McCarty, Uiiversity
of Wisconsin, and Mr* Siegel, Director of the Municipal Broadcasting System, New
York City*

The forthcoming series will be broadcast riot only by member stations of the
NAEB Tape Network but also will be made available to United Nations Radio, The Voice
of America, the British Broadcasting Corporation, The Canadian Broadcasting Corpora¬
tion, the Australian Broadcasting Company, and All-India Radio.

The programs will be made available to commercial station operators on a sus¬
taining basis and it is expected that at least one series of those to be produced
will be broadcast over a national network*

The sets of series are planned to fit into a broad pattern of four main outlines
— The American Heritage, The Nature of Mai, and International Understanding and Pub¬
lic Affairs. Since the project is flexible, the ideas to be worked out in some of
the later programs and their presentation Will depend in some measure on public re¬
sponse to the opening series*

The American Heritage

The initial series on "The Jeffersonian Heritage" will seek to explore the
enduring ideas that are best summed up in our Declaration of Independence, among
American historic documents and best exenplified and symbolized by Thomas Jefferson
as an Individual. Avoiding any emphasis on biography > the programs will seek to
translate into living terms through dramatic action the Jefferson embodiment of the
spirit which should animate men and the general principles which should guide them
here and now.

From the "Living Declaration," opening program of the first series, throughout,
this radio venture will seek to make real and vibrant the principal features of the
American Heritage as passed down from Thomas Jefferson through a.national history
richly endowed with his ideas. These features are seen as* one rich, fair land,
offering vast opportunities; one diverse people, melted into a national unit; one
background of knowledge and skills inherited from the many races of our ancestry;
and lastly, the timeless and universal ideas of a new land*

- h -

Through the narrative of the new radio series it is hoped to show that the
principles enunciated by Jefferson and other great men of our history, which may
have lost meaning for many persons because of their familiarity, were outlined in
words actually spoken by living human beings at particular times and places.

To a public that, largely because of the Jefferson Heritage, selects its own
government and thereby helps to work out the destiny of its own land, the NAEB
dramatic offerings will make an effort to bring home the eternal Jeffersonian truth
that "The earth belongs to the living generation." '

Hence, it is felt, it can be'assumed that contemporary radio listeners — a
cross-section of the voting public— will be easily stimulated to learn what men
have done with Jeffersonian principles over the years and what is being done with
these principles now.

As a mirror of the trend of historic thought and action from an early American
predominantly agricultural society in an age of slow transportation and relative
physical isolation to a contemporary industrial society closely interlocked with the
rest of the world, the NAEB programs will strive to reflect the American ideology as
Jefferson saw it. , This ideology is that human considerations come first and that the
sanctity of the personality and freedom of the mind are the most precioiis of human
possessions* *

Quality Is Goal

Commenting on the "Jeffersonian Heritage" series of radio programs, Mr. Probst
said: ‘

"We are engaged in producing programs of the quality of ‘Henry V*
or Sherwood's ’Abraham Lincoln in Illinois,* or MacLeish‘s ‘The Fall of
the City.» We are trying to produce programs that are ‘consumer durables. 1
We are trying to produce programs that can be rebroadcast ten or twenty
years from now to both our satisfaction and the satisfaction of the
listener.

"We are doing this really against the whole current of American
writing and American commercial radio, which are devoted to the production
of programs that are really ‘consumer perishables. 1 --- At no previous
time in American radio has there been an occasion when anybody had the
funds, or thought it was worthwhile to try to create an outstanding
series of programs about Jefferson, or about any other outstanding American
. * * «"

“The Jefferson Heritage" is based on the research and writings of Prof• Dumas
Malone, Columbia University. It is produced and directed by Frank Papp, written by
Marton Wishengrad and Milton Geiger, with music by Wladimir Selinsky. It stars
Claude Rains•

EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS MAKE APPLICATION TO FCC FOR TV LICENCES

The Federal Communications Commission, which began processing applications
July 1, has already received applications for 9 non-commercial educational television
stations in California, Florida, Kansas, New York and Texas.

California

The Bay Area Television Association, a non-profit corporation organized under
the laws of California, on July 3 requested VHF channel 9 on behalf of all education¬
al institutions in the San Franc is co-Oakland Area* Elementary schools, high schools,
colleges and other organizations whose primary purpose is to educate, may use the
facilities of the station. Policy will be determined by those who share in the
financial obligations of the association.

According to the Bay Area application, membership assessment from participating
educational institutions, and possibly private funds and foundation grants will,
finance the station. Capital outlay equipment on a lease-purchase basis is estimated
at $100,000; operational expenses at $110,000 per year.

New York

The Board of*Regents of the University of the State of New York on July 2 filed
applications t for reserved UHF channels in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and
New York City. Applications for the reserved channels in Binghamton, Ithaca, Malone,
Poughkeepsie and Utica — all UHF channels — are in preparation to be filed shortly.

The Regents plan to use the 10 stations (the total number reserved in New York
State for education by the FCC) for a state-wide network. The system will utilize
programs originating from each of the educational stations. I* 1 addition each station
will present some programs for local viewing.

The University of the State of New Y 0 rk is "the constitutionally designated
agency for the development of new means of expanding the educational facilities of
the State." Construction costs for the state-wide network are included in the
budget now being prepared by the Board of Regents. The estimated cost of each
station is $2£l,5>00.

Florida

The Lindsay Hopkins Vocational School of the Dade County Board of Public Instruc¬
tion, Miami, on July 1 requested authority to build a television station on reserved
VHF channel 2. The Board has agreed to lease from television station WTVJ^-MLami,
its entire transmitting plant, effective as soon as the FCC authorizes WTVJ to
utilize new facilities.

The program schedule of the educational station in Miami will include organized
educational programs for class-room use; adult education programs; information and
public events; and programs on the arts and sciences. The Dade County Board applica¬
tion also states that this station can provide educational training for both com¬
mercial and educational broadcasters. Estimated cost of equipment is $78*500, which
is the amount required for studio equipment and new antenna needed to utilize the
transmitting plant to be leased from WTVJ. Estimated cost of operation for the
first year, $25,000.

. Kansas . v . ,

The Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science on June 30 applied
for a construction permit to build a £0,800 watt non-comnercial educational television
station on reserved VHE channel 8, Manhattan, Kansas*

A joint television operation is planned in cooperation with the University of
Kansas (the University is now preparing an application to build a station on channel
11 at Lawrence)* Filing of the Kansas State application and the pending application
of the University of Kansas culminate several months of joint planning by the two
institutions*

Programs will be designed to provide adult education for the citizens of Kansas*
Funds are expected to be made available by the legislature which meets in January*

The State Board of Regents, which controls the college, has already approved the plan
to construct a television station* Kansas State College estimates construction costs
at $362,62lt and programming costs at $332,800*

Texas

The University of Houston and the Houston Independent School District on July 8
filed a joint application to construct a station on VHF channel 8, reserved for edu¬
cation at Houston*

The educational station at Houston will begin operations with a program schedule
of k hours a day, to be expanded to 8 hours a day as soon as feasible. The schedule
will include programs for public school viewing, informative programs for young peqpl%
instructional programs at the college level, and general cultural programs*

The total construction cost of the station is estimated at $600,000, with ex¬
penses for the first year estimated at $lf?0,000* Funds are on hand to begin con¬
struction as soon as the FCC grants the construction permit*

In addition to these 9 applications for non-commercial educational television
stations, the FCC reports that Michigan State College, East Lansing, and the Uni¬
versity of Missouri, Columbia, have filed applications for authority to construct
television stations*

Commercial Application from Missouri

The U. of Missouri at Columbia'recently filed application with the FCC for a
commercial TV permit; andrtiile the school's board of curators didn't disclose how the
project would be financed, a spokesman said it wouldn't be necessary to ask for funds
from the State Legislature*

Curators stated they hoped that at least £0$ of the TV time would be devoted to
public service programs, and that,profits would be used for improvement of the sta¬
tion's programs. Initial cost was estimated at $1,006,880, operating costs at
$302,000 annually and the station was expected to show a profit in its second year*
University's plans also call for a $1*80,000 TV studio on the cairpus and erection of
a 796-foot tower four miles south of tie town.

One hitch may upset the plans as the application seeks channel 8, the same being
asked for by the Missouri Farmers Assn.'s insurance division for station KMfO at
Marshall, a radio station it owns*

•ft##-*#-******##* * *

AT DEADLINE TIME, the FCC ha§, authoriz'ed non-commercial educational TV stations
at Manhattan, Kansas, and at Albany, Rochester, and Buffalo, New‘York* It has delayed
action on the Lindsay Hopkins Vocational School application*

TRUMAN ENDORSES EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION

President Truman, in a recent conference with members of the Federal Communications ■
Commission, enthusiastically endorsed the reservation of television channels for edu¬
cational use, according to Paul A# Walker, FCG chairman*

The commissioners, who began processing applications for new television stations on
July 1, visited the White House at the invitation of the President. He commended’
them for their decision regarding educational television and urged that everything
^possible be done to encourage the utilization of the reserved channels*

Chairman Walker told the President that although the Commission has reserved tele¬
vision channels for education, the responsiblity to use those channels now rests with
the educators themselves.

In an interview at the close of the conference, Commissioner Frieda B. Hennock said
the President was gratified that the Commission has taken a firm stand on this issue*

"President Truman told us that he considers our decision to set aside 2i*2 channels
for non-commercial educational stations the most important one the Commission has ever
made," reported Miss Hennock.

President Calls for Educational Cooperation

"He said that these educational stations would be of particular benefit to the boys
and girls of this country, and would provide information to the adult population; he
called upon educators of the country, and socially-minded segments of all communities,
including foundations, to work together to get these educational stations built as
soon as possible."

Walker said the President indicated his willingness to participate in this effort by
making a public speech on the subject*

TALK ABOUT EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION.

By Members of the Federal Communications Commission

Commissioner Frieda B« Hennock reminded the National Jewish Welfare Board that educa¬
tional television can strengthen American democracy when she spoke in Detroit in Mgy .

"These educational television stations could serve many millions of Americans in
their schools and hones on a constant, intimate and inexpensive basis. They could
spread knowledge, enlightenment and culture throughout the country on a scale hither¬
to unknown* They could open the doors of the home and classroom to the finest
teachers, physicians, artists and specialists of all kinds, including welfare. They
could spread the treasures of museums and libraries right before your eyes* Truly,

3>0 million TV sets could become 50 miliion of our best equipped classrooms, to sup¬
plement those classrooms in existing schools today.**

"Like democracy itself, educational-TV must be a coirmon undertaking, a mutual respons¬
ibility which none may shirk without increasing the dangers of nonfulfillment.

Action in the form of spplications for TV licenses is needed and needed now, if we
are to insure against the loss of this opportunity by default*"

Commissioner Rose! H* Hyde explained the principle of the educational, reservations on
the ’’Georgetown University Forum,” broadcast last April*

"We refer to the channel allocation as providing some 2,000 station assignments*. Of
that nunber 2k2 have been classified for use by non-commercial, educational institu¬
tions* On an average, there are five such assignments to a state.**

"These channels, which have been allocated to be operated as non-commercial stations
by educational institutions, are available on applications by applicants eligible
under,this classification without conpetition from other applicants* In other words,
you would not expect to find yourself in a competitive hearing with an applicant who
wishes to establish a commercial station* However, that is not to say that these
reservations are made in perpetuity* They are allocations made for service purposes
and if they are to be used it will be because applicants take advantage of the oppor¬
tunity to apply and construct and operate stations*"

Commissioner George E* Sterling defended the principle of educational reserations
before the Mary Ian d-Dis trie t of Columbia Radio-Television Broadcasting Association
at Ocean City, Maryland, last month*

"During the course of the hearing, the educators of America established by an over¬
whelming preponderance of the evidence, that a certain number of television channels
should be set aside for non-commercial educational television exclusively. You will
remember that originally I dissented from the proposed establishment of educational
reservations in the VHF with the thought that the educators were looking more toward
future use of television for educational purposesthan immediate use* On the basis
of the record I found that the educators could not be denied the use of VHF fre¬
quencies for the purposes they desired*"

Commissioner Edward M* Webster reviewed his official stand-regarding educational
reservations when he spoke at the Institute for Educational Radio-Television, Colum¬
bus, Ohio, last April.

"After the publication of ny separate opinion accompanying the March, 195>1, Third
Notice of Further Proposed Rule-Making concerning the Television Broadcast Service,
wherein I stated that, on the basis of the record then made, I did not agree that a
reservation of channels for non-commercial educational purposes should be made, I
heard some rumors to the effect that some educators were shocked at my apparent
antipathy toward the use of television as an aid to education. Of course, I was not
and am not against the use of television for this purpose. I favor placing non¬
commercial educational television stations on the air at the earliest possible date
and my statement so indicates..*.

"Everyone here has of course seen or heard about the Commission’s recently published
final report* on the Television Broadcast Service. Despite the fact that I concurred
with the majority in reserving channels for future use for educational purposes, seme
of you may feel that ny comments attached to t hat report are less than flattering to
educators. Well, Imnt to say at this point that nothing in ny concurring remarks
should be construed as an attack upon you, because I think educators are engaged in
the most important work anyone can undertake."

WALKER URGES IMMEDIATE ACTION ON TV APPLICATIONS

In a speech made at the Fifth Annual Radio and Television Institute, Penn State Col¬
lege, FCC Chairman Paul A. Walker pointed out the need for immediate action in apply¬
ing for reserved educational TV channels. The penalty, he said, might very well be
the loss of these reservations to educational television.

After a resume of the educational stations* battle for reserved channels Chairman
Walker went on to say: ,

"No request for a change in these reservations — or for any change in assignments
in the Commission^ entire assignment plan — is to be considered for one year from
the effective date of the order. This date was June 2. So beginning June 3> 1953*
anyone may request that a non-commercial educational assignment be changed to a
commercial assignment.

Just what considerations will be persuasive with the Commission should there be any
efforts to delete specific reserations after June 2, 19$3> I cannot foretell. But
this I can state: The best protection that educators can arrange is a definite pro¬
gram of action designed to obtain financial support and the support of the education¬
al community. Happily, there are increasing indications that Anerican education does
not intend to lose these assignments by default.

"The American Council on Education sponsored an institute here at Pennsylvania State
College in April to study this problem. Those in attendance were unanimous in their
concern that educational groups take forthwith the steps necessary to establish and
develop stations. A two-day institute was held in June by the Consolidated University
of North Carolina under the leadership of President Gordon Gray to consider the po¬
tentialities of educational television stations. The Association of Land-Grant Col¬
leges and Universities at its annual meeting in Washington on November 13 will devote
a special session to the use of these assignments.

JCET Aid

"Assisting university and school administrators is the Joint Committee on Educational
Television which performed such stellar service in presenting education*s case before
the Commission. Now the JCET has set up a field consultation service to educators.

"The JCET*s program now has these objectives: (1) establishment of organizational
patterns appropriate for varied educational interests planning to participate in the
use of a television channel; (2) explanation of legal procedures required by the FCC
for the application of a construction permit; (3) discussion of technical facilities
needed; (h) encouragement of program exchange on a regional and national basis.

"Last year the JCET received $90,000 from the Fund for Adult Education established by
the Ford Foundation. This year the Fund provided $lii£,000. This is a public service
of the highest order. I cannot think of a more urgent cause for which funds could be
provided at this time. This money is an investment in the future of our nation. It
will pay dividends in the intellectual and spiritual development of our children. It
will pay dividends in the increased ability of adults to acquit themselves mere ably
as responsible citizens of a free democracy. The Fund for Adult Education; established
by the Ford Foundation deserves the congratulations and the gratitude of every Ameri¬
can who is interested in more and better education for all.

”1 trust that other philanthropic foundations will study the unprecedented opportun¬
ity that lies in these reservations and will discover their own ways of speeding the
construction and operation of stations. They, too, must realise that time is of the
essence. *

"I wish to take this opportunity to recognize and commend the volutary donations
made by private citizens all over the nation to supply a $h0,000 war chest to the
JCET in its early stages. I am sure that they feel well rewarded when they see how
much was accomplished with their money.

"The television boom is on. As of today, more than £00 applications for construction
permits have, been filed with the ’FCC. And in connection with this tabulation, there
are two highly interesting points. The first is a most encouraging omen for those
educational institutions in communities where the educational assignment is in the
Ultra High Frequency band. Of the 500 applications on hand, 200 are for UHF assign¬
ments. Furthermore, 35 are for places already served by Very High Frequency stations.
The other interesting point is that as of today, eight educational instituions have
filed applications. These are: Bay Area Educational Television Association, Berke¬
ley, California; Lindsay Hopkins Vocational School, Miami, Florida; Kansas State
College, Manhattan, Kansas $ University of the State of New York for station's at
Albany, Buffalo, New York City, Rochester and Syracuse.’*

INDUSTRY ANNOUNCES $100,000 GRANT TO EDUCATIONAL TV

Benjamin Abrams, president of the Emerson Radio and Phonograph Corporation, recently
announced that his company would give $10,000 to each of the first ten educational*
licensees to begin regular television broadcasting. The $100,000 Emerson grant is
hoped to be the beginning of a large-scale industry drive to launch educational
television on an extensive, immediate and practical scale throughout the United
States.

Part of this proposed program would be the establishment of a council of internation¬
ally known educators, artists, scientists and public leaders, to explore techniques
by which the full potential of this new dimension of television may be realized.

The $10,000 individual grants will be given to stations to buy capital equipment
which would facilitate high-quality operation.

EDUCATIONAL FILMS PAY OFF IN TOLEDO TV

WSPD-TV, Toledo, Ohio, is racking up its second highest daytime rating with educa-
~ tional films on its "summer television school" project. The series, which started
a couple of months back, is designed to give young viewers a continuing contact
with educational material during the "school’s out" season, and is backed three times
a week at 9sl5-9:30 a.m. by the board of education with the medical society getting
credit the other two days.

Pictures involved are the library of 100-odd reels of Encyclopedia Britannica Films,
distributed through Associated Program Service. Project has gotten hefty plaudits
from Parent-Teachers Association and other public-minded organizations.

The same films are being used in a twice-weekly evening s cience program which is sold
on a participating basis and currently has a waiting list of sponsors.

WAYNE U* FORMS COMMUNITY TV COMMITTEE

Wayne University is encouraging community participation in planning for the .use
of channel £6 reserved for education in Detroit* A general advisory committee, with
representation from all educational interests in the area, has been formed*

It is expected that the license will be held by a non-profit educational cor¬
poration, basic policies of the station to be directed by a board of trustees of
some 15 individuals selected from the community. The facilities of radio station
WDET, Detroit, have been presented to Wayne University by United Auto Workers (CIO),
and will be adapted for. television broadcasting* Use of the radio station's land,
buildings,. and tower will cut construction costs for the Detroit educators*

LIBRARIES AND EDUCATIONAL TV

Scheduled for the October issue of College and Research Libraries is an article
by Robert W. Orr, Director, Iowa State College Library, on means by which libraries
can provide effective service to educational television broadcasting* The article,

workshop, Sunday* August *17 to Sunday,'August 21*, inclusive, in cooperation with the
National Association of Educational Broadcasters, it is announced by Seymour N.

Siegel, President of NAEB*

Sixty representatives of leading educational institutions have been invited to
participate for v the purpose of developing "television know-how" with a view to future
f operation of their own stations# The person from each institution who was invited
is the man who will manage the station or the one directly responsible for planning
and b\iilding the station#

Iowa State College operates WOI-TV, the only television station in the country
at this time whiph is licensed to an educational institution# Three of the station*s
personnel will supervise the workshop sessions in cooperation with expert consultants
from commercially operated television stations# They are * Richard Hull, Director of
WOI-TVI Irving Merrill, staff member of the station* and Joseph North, also on the
station*s staff, aid head of the television curriculum at Iowa State College*

Commenting on'the aims of the workshop, Mr. Siegel declared? "The reservation of
educational frequencies for television provides an opportunity for the creation of
the highest quality educational television programs. Educators are preparing applicar
tions for station licenses. One of the biggest problems will be that of trained per¬
sonnel* For the first time the National Association of Educational Broadcasters has
persuaded leading scholars to take television seriously. The Iowa State College TV
Workshop will make possible the transmission of technical skills to provide suffi¬
cient understanding of the drawbacks and pitfalls as well as the challenge and oppor¬
tunities for public service which educational television offers."

WCAU ORIGINATES EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOL TELECASTS FOR CBS

WCAU-TV and leading educators of the Philadelphia area are coordinating the
production of "Summer School," nine week, thrice-weekly series of educational tele¬
casts which began over the CBS-TV network June 30* The novel series, described as
probably reaching a larger audience than any preceding educational event, will be
used to develop a pattern for future similar projects.

The series is presented by CBS-TV, WCAU-TV, and the lower Merion School district
of Ardmore, Pa. The broadcasts are originating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 3:30
to 1* p*m* EDT, in the Penn Valley school 10 miles from Philadelphia*

The format calls for a lecture-type program presented to 1*0 selected pupils on
subjects seldom essayed to children, but "of fascinating interest to television
^ audiences of all ages." The same 1*0 children constitute a permanent class for the
total of 27 lectures. Ages range from six to eleven years, with the youngsters
chosen for average intelligence and interests..

The lecture subjects, designed to combine education, interest, and entertain-
irant, vary from the weather to global government, presented with simplicity assuring
comprehension by the youngsters* Dr. Carleton Coon, winner of the Viking Ifedal in
anthropology, one of the lecturers, commented: "The only limitation on the powers of
absorption and understanding of the young mind are those placed upon them by their
elders.

WFUM, NEWEST MICHIGAN STATION, BEGINS OPERATIONS

Michigan's newest radio station, WFUM, Flint, went on the air at noon Tuesday,
July 15, carrying programs of the University of Michigan Broadcasting Service. ’ :

Formerly called WAJL, the station, with transmitter in the Hurley Hospital
building was given to the Ikiiversity in February. Now the station returns to the
air under Federal Communications Commission approval with new call letters, a new FM
frequency of 89.7 megacycles and new programming.

The original plan to operate WFUM from Ann Arbor by a remote control was dis¬
carded because of the extra cost,of a telemetering system required by the FCC> accord¬
ing to Waldo Abbot, director of the Broadcasting Service. A full-time transmitter
engineer will operate the station, which will broadcast programs from the University
station WUOM on campus.

During the summer WFUM will be on the air from noon until 10:30 p.m. Monday-
through Friday and 10 a.m. to k p.m. Sunday*

"WFUM will bring a new type of radio programming into the Flint area," Abbot
said. "We place strong emphasis on dramatic productions, featuring student and :
professional casts and on classical and semi-classical music."

One major function of the station will be to extend coverage of the University's
special programs for rural schools, he pointed out. These provide elementary school¬
teachers with radio teaching aids in history, music and general science. Sports pro¬
grams will include play-by-pl^r broadcasts of all University of Michigan games. Free
monthly bulletins of WFUM will be mailed to interested listeners#

HAEB STATIONS AMD BBC PROGRAM SERIVBS

Here is a review of some services offered North American broadcasters by the
British Broadcasting Corporation# ' •

The. BBC North American Service and the Transcription set-up provide the pick of
British pro'grams available - at practically no cost to a station making use of them*
Special events‘such as the recent Election and the forthcoming Coronation..•• speeches
of major improtance by world figures...daily newscasts...a tremendous range of record¬
ed programs**.are buts ome of the offerings of these services.

The North'American -Service

Every day,, many Americans with special interest in Britain tune their short-wave
sets, to the, BBC*s North American Service, some to listen to the newscasts, others to
hear special documentary features of discussion programs, plays or coverage of cur¬
rent events. ' •* :

No charge is made for such contributions If stations are able to arrange their
own direct 'pick-ups#* In congested area, BBC is generally picked up through AT & T
at the usual AT & T charges.

Frequencies vary from month to month but the BBC New fork City office issues
bulletins giving program highlights and necessary technical data together with per¬
mission to pick up programs. *‘ v - :

Other BBC services include collaboration oh two-way trans-Atlantic,programs and,
as far as possible; recording facilities for accredited American commentators visit¬
ing Britain.'

Incidentally, section 3,1*08 of the FCC Rules and Regulations states that FCC

permission is not necessary for BBC material to be rebroadcast in AmericaT

The Transcription Service

This service makes available-to stations throughout the world the best of BBC on
disks and’tapes* Some of the programs are taken from the Home and Overseas trans¬
missions; others are specially produbed*

The current catalog, issued last month,; makes good reading for program directors,
particularly in view of the very low cost of the programs - a charge that covers
handling and postage and which bears no relationship to the values offered. The
cost to commercial stations is five dollars per program regardless of length.

To assure all candidates for Wisconsin elective offices an opportunity to speak

Representatives of the legally qualified parties were invited to attend a prelim¬
inary meeting in the Secretary of State’s office on July 18. At that meeting rules
were agreed upon for the conduct of the Forum, and time assignments were made by the
drawing of lots. It was agreed that; if a candidate cannot be present in person at
the time of the broadcast he may exchange time with another candidate, have someone
speak in behalf of his candidacy, or arrange to have a tape recording made. It was
also agreed that no speaker should appear on the Forum more than once.

Candidates will speak from the Radio Hall studios on the University campus in
Madison. The broadcasts will go out over WHA-AM In Madison and 9 FM stations.

7ESTIVAI5 TO OFFER U*S. MUSIC PACKAGE PLAN

A plan to build "a bridge of music lovers" between the United States and Europe
has been worked out by Ira A* Hirschmann, New York patron of the arts,' and the Assoc¬
iation of European Music Festivals with the support of their governments, the United
States State Department and the United Nations* Its primary aim is to organize Amer¬
ican attendance at European festivals on such a cheap and efficient basis that it will
be raised from the current figure of 30,000 to 150,000 within five years*

.Mr* Hirschmann, who has Just completed arrangements to start the plan moving-in
New York early next year, said in an interview he hoped it would eventually mean
^150,000,000 annually to dollar-starved western European economies and, more than that,
"a tremendous accrual of good will." He added "it will mean Americans will be seeing
Surope under the best of auspices and for the right reasons***They will be welcomed
in the atmosphere which made Europe a world culture."

Participating in the plan at the moment are festivals of Aix en Provence, Bay-
reuth> Berlin, Besancon, Bordeaux, Florence, Holland, Lucerne, Munich, Perugia, Stras¬
bourg, Venice, Vienna and Wxesbaden. The main holdouts so far are Edinburgh and
Salzburg, but efforts are being made to induce them to join*

Organizations of leading music lovers will be established in New York, operating
a bureau in conjunction with the European Association in Amsterdam* It is intended to
charter planes to bring music-minded American vacationists directly to the scenes of
the famous musical events. The plan hopes to provide round-trip transportation for
about $ 300 , and it is calculated that concert tickets and other expenses will average
about another $300 a person. Arrangements with travel agencies will make it possible
t,o include hotel bookings. The prospective "musical tourist" will be able to attend
as many festivals as he wishes, assembled .into a rounded group*

The bureau will coordinate information about dates and programs and will dissem¬
inate data through music schools public schools, musical organizations and radio sta¬
tions. The New York bureau will even provide scores of works to be heard.

The plan includes a joint advertising campaign in United States newspapers fin¬
anced by interested governments and festival groups. Mr. Hirschmann said, "Once the
olan is working, American music lovers will find it easy and inexpensive to spend sum¬
mers at European festivals. These festivals—usually indoors because of the cool West
European climate—will attract Americans who are not satisfied with concerts under out¬
door conditions and who wish contact with the tradition which these festivals have."

Hr* Hirschmann plans to meet in New York this fall with embassies of interested gov¬
ernments, the United Nations and others to launch the United States end of the venture.

JOHNS HOPKINS U. AWARDS $6000 FELLOWSHIP

William .Suchmann, graphic artist and designer with the American Broadcasting Com¬
pany, has been awarded the WAAM TELEVISION FELLOWSHIP by the Examining Committee for
this award. The Fellowship carries a ^6,000 stipend and a year’s graduate study at
the Johns Hopkins. University.

The WAAM Fellowship, the first of its kinds to be offered in the television in¬
dustry, was created by mutual agreement between the WAAM Board of Directors and Johns
Hopkins. The WAAM directors have committed the Fellowship for a period of five years.
Johns Hopkins will guide the studies of the Fellow and make available to him aLl the
facilities of the University.

This Fellowship was established in order that a mature person of high standing
and currently active in television may have nine months free from his professional
duties to pursue special studies of his own choosing vhich will add to his effectiv.
ness when he returns to his regular work in the industry. During his residency at
Johns Hopkins, Mr. Suchmann will carry on an individual program of academic graduate
s tudy.

Plans Study of Psychology

Mr. Suchmann was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1939 and from
the Franklin S'chool of Professional Art in 191*8• He has been with the American Broad¬
casting Company’s department of art since 19l*9> where he has been assistant director
in charge of visual presentations for television commercial advertising and graphic
portions of many types of programs.

The Fellowship recipient plans to study with Johns Hopkins authorities in the
fields of educational method and psychology. With these faculty members he hopes to
explore what is known about the learning processes, through visual presentation, and
to apply this knowledge to the design of graphic art presentation for television.

The Examining Committee was composed ofi Dr. Franklin Dunham, Chief of Radio-TV
for U.S. Office of Education; Mr. Henry Fischer, Special Adviser to Board of Regents,
University of State of New fork; P. Stewart Macaulay, Provost, The Johns Hopkins Uni¬
versity; Dr. Sidney Painter, Chairman, Department of History, The Johns Hopkins Uni¬

U. OF CINCINNATI PROF RECORDS "SOUND SEMINARS 11

A world-vri.de "recorded university" with headquarters in Cincinnati has been un¬
dertaken by Dr. George W. Kisker, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University
of Cincinnati, Dr. Kisker plans to record on tape the voices and theories of world
intellectual leaders. These recorded lectures are expected to form the nucleus for
an international faculty in the arts, sciences and humanities. By his "sound seminars"
as the individual recordings are called. Dr. Kisker hopes to enable every college and
university to offer the words of living authorities in many fields.

Thirty "Seminars" Completed

Assisted by his wife, Mrs. Florence Hay Kisker, the Cincinnati professor already
has made recording trips to New York and Cleveland where he gathered interviews from
authorities in psychology and psychiatiy. Some thirty "sound seminars" are filed in
the Kiskers* Cincinnati home. .Their titles range from general discussions, such as
"Can Human Nature Change?" by Dr. Karen Homey, New York, to "The Psychodynamics of
the Industrial Executive" by Dr. Wladimir Eliasberg, also of New York.

Students respond well to the seminars. Dr. Kisker reports. Their interest is
found to be stimulated when a "name" becomes a "real" person through a voice record¬
ing. Most of the tapes are being edited for twenty minutes, considered to be an
effective listening period. After the tape is played, college classes have time for
discussion and debate. Supplements for the taped lectures offer still futher possi¬
bilities.

THE 19$2 NAEB CONVENTION
by

Burton Paulu

Chairman Convention Committee

The 19^2 NAEB convention will meet in Minneapolis November 6-7-8.

This is the first News-letter section to be devoted to that convention. It is
the. shortest for that reason; as program plans become positive there will be more and
more to report.

Your committee is planning to cover: (l) important educational television devel¬
opments; and (2) the role of educational radio today when television seems to be get¬
ting more and more attention. Long term strategy and day-to-day operating problems
will both be dealth with. Of course there will be sessions devoted to NAEB general
business•

Our plans will shortly "jell." Before they do we invite you — the members —
to offer suggestions* What subjects do you want to have covered? What speakers would
you like to hear? What are your favorite convention likes and gripes?

Your committee can turn in a better performance with your help. Let us hear from
you now before it’s too late, rather than on the morning of November 6thi

See you in Minneapolist

NAEB TAPE NETWORK MASS DUPLICATOR NOW IN OPERATION

by John Holt
Tape Network Manager

Don*t let it throw you, but we at last have a ’’mass duplicator. 11

After waiting for the good news for well over a year, some of our readers are
certain to take this note as a bad joke. But it is quite true. The Network now has
its long-awaited duplicating machine, and it is in operation. Mr. Francis Rawdon
Smith, designer of the electronics component, and Mr. Robert Johnston, Manager of the
University of Illinois Recording Service, spent three long days early this month mak¬
ing the initial installation and testing the equipment, and it is now in active use.

The amplifier now being used with the Toogood-designed mechanism is a temporary
unit. Mr. Smith is working on another which he considers to be more satisfactory and
which he will install in a few weeks.

On the whole, we are quite delighted with the duplicator and with our progress
in learning to use it. The recording device is mounted on a table, the motor beneath
it, and the electronic equipment in a separate cabinet. On each side of a frame ris¬
ing above the table are recording units, six on one side, five plus the master, or
play-back, unit on the other. The tapes lie on horizontal plates extending from the
frame, pass over recording heads in the orthodox manner, and wind onto empty reels on
which they stay. There is no rewind: the programs are duplicated backward.

Full efficiency in the utilization of the equipment has not yet been realized,
of course. A certain dexterity of operation has yet to be achieved by those piloting
the machine. The duplication is done at 22| ips., or ten minutes to a run-through,
making up to eleven good copies. The variable is in the human element — loading and
unloading the machine. But we are learning fast.

As programs are duplicated for individual distribution, they will be moved dir¬
ectly from the duplicating machine to a large cabinet with a pigeon hole alloted to
each station.

These pigeon holes have no backs, but extend through the width of the cabinet.
Thus, on one side, they face the duplicating machine, and on the other they are open
to our mailing area. The recordings are drawn from the pigion holes on the mailing
area side of the cabinet, packed, and moved to our shipping window where they are
picked up by the University of Illinois Mailing Center. And from there they go to
the stations.

The Network, then has made one more solid achievement in creating the operating

THE THIRD ALLERTON SEMINAR

Reported by
Alvin M. Gaines
NAEB Region II Director

The Third Allerton Seminar is now historyl

Twfenty. representatives of school broadcasters met at Allerton House, Monticello,
Illinois, from June 1$ to 2? to explore the whole field of radio and television broad¬
casting to the public and private schools of the United States and -Canada. Thirteen
states and Canada were represented•

The S.S. (School Stations) Allerton was skippered by Jim Miles, Executive Direc¬
tor of NAEB, aid officered by four consultants: Harold McCarty, WH&j James Macandrew,
WNYE$ I* Keith Tyler, Ohio State University^ and Alvin Gaines, WABE*

In the Allerton tradition the weather wound up and cut loose with a heat wave for
the opening days of the seminar, but soon relented and provided a week of reasonable
temperature before speeding the members on their way home with more heat. In case any
foimer Allertonites are interested, grandfather bullfrog still makes bass music of an
evening1

Professor Gordon Hullfish, Ohio State University, the first of ten one-day con¬
sultants, got the seminar off to a flying start on Sunday evening dealing with the
basic problems of education in a changing world.

On Monday Dean Wilbur Schramm, Division of Communications, University of Illinois,
briefed the conference on the National Association of Educational Broadcasters and the
grant-in-aid by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation which made possible the establishment of a
central headquarters and the expansion of the Tape Network begun by Seymour Siegel,
President of NAEB.

Committees Appointed

Tuesday had been left open for the purpose of orientation and decision by the
group on objectives and means of obtaining them. It was the feeling of the group that
1952 was a year of decision for educational broadcasters and that, like the First
Allerton, a written report should be one of the major results of the seminar. The
group spent the day discussing and outlining the problems and resources of school broad¬
casters in both radio and television. These were grouped under the following broad
categories: Administration, Facilities, Programming, Production, Utilization, Tele¬
vision and Miscellaneous (which included such items as the NAEB Network and the prob-
^ lem of script exchange). It is to be noted that these categories were made up of prob¬
lems and questions coming directly from the operating experiences of the various mem¬
bers. Throughout the following week committees were appointed to study and report on
the major categories.

On the organization side, the conference had a rotating chairmanship (in keeping
with the nautical theme, the O.D. or Officer of the Day and a Log Keeper). The offi¬
cers had been briefed previously to be available to the group for advice, but found it
practically impossible to keep out of the various verbal exchanges. Often as not the
officers (and even the Skipper) got their ears pinned back when they got out on a limb.
School broadcasters are just as vocal as their brethren at the university levell

A “Working* 1 Conference

It might be pointed out here that this was a “working" conference. Sessions
started at nine each morning and ran to twelve or twelve-thirty, reconvened at two and
continued until four-thirty or five. Evening meetings began at seven-thirty and hard¬
ly ever broke up before ten-thirty. Committee meetings were held at mealtimes and
between sessions.

Mr. Benjamin Bloom, Examiner*s Office, University of Chicago, was the consultant
on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, specializing in discussion techniques.
Wednesday evening was also devoted to an audition of the kinescope of WOI-TV's "The
Whole Town’s Talking."

The members of the seminar were also busy at various times auditioning the many
tapes of programs from member stations and the FAE programs, "Jefferson" series and
"The Ways, of Mankind. 11 Such auditions were often followed by informal critical "bull
sessions." „ ,

A detailed analysis of a specific educational program was presented on Friday by
Mr. James Schwalbach of WHA. The program was "Let’s Draw" broadcast by WHA and the
Wisconsin State FM Network.

By now the committees that had been set up earlier began to report and the matter
of time became a big factor as the group went over each report carefully (sometimes
taking it word by word). Though the hours around the seminar "rectangle" in the
Allerton library became longer, there was no flagging of interest. In short, each
committee got a good "going over."

TV Discussions

Television came with full bloom on Saturday and Sunday when Miss Martha Gable,

TV Co-ordinator, Philadelphia Public Schools, was the consultant. Utilization and
research with Dr. Dallas Smythe, University of Illinois, the problem areas of educa¬
tion with Dr. Harold Hand, University of Illinois, and the methods of audience deter¬
mination by Dr. Vernon Fryburger, University of Illinois, rounded out the consultants
for the remainder of the conference.

All committees made their reports and the final report of the seminar was pro**
jected. This report should be available early in the Fall.

„• Skipper Miles, of the S.S. Allerton was presented with a present by the grateful
crew in honor of a most pleasant and profitable voyage and sweltering from another
heat wave, the crew departed for all points of the compass.

It is not given to anyone to foresee the future, so this reporter will not at¬
tempt to predict the impact of the Third Allerton on educational broadcasting. He
will say this, however, if there is any relation between impact and the earnest hard¬
working group (participants and consultants) that took part, the effect of this con¬
ference should be both great and wide-spread in educational radio and television.

There was diversity in unity, good humor in conflict of opinion and enthusiasm with
practicability. ...

Yes, the Third Allerton is history - and we hope, history-makingi

PRFT-TMIHARY REPORTS FROM THE ALLERTON SEMINAR ON SCHOOL BROA DCASTING

The following is a condensation of reports made by various committees atthe _
recent Allerton House Seminar on school broadcasting wnich was held at the University
of Illinois.

Philosophy Committee Report

The broadcast media of our day are rapidly breaking down old barriers and creat¬
ing new bonds of understanding. In this age of conflicting idealogies these tools are
powerful forces for good or evil. Our cultural survival may depend in no small mea-
sure upon the wise use of radio and television.

Since training for effective living in this modern world is a Primary purpose of
education, it is imperative that schools use radio and television with the sane spoils
purpose with which they use other teaching resources. In considering the contribuUon
which broadcasting can make to education, it should be remembered that it can never
be a substitute for the teacher. Programs should be geared to the curriculum at
various grade levels and teachers should be encouraged and trained to use them.

Potentially, the school station should be organized to provide a broadcast ser¬
vice which stimulates and enriches classroom instruction, complements the work of the
teacher, aids in curriculum development, provides opportunity for vocational training
furthers school community relationships, and presents programs which meet the needs of
the adult members of the community.

Administration Committee

Among the duties of the station manager or director is the responsibility to:
formulate a basic policy with the school administrator, assume leadership in the plan¬
ning and production of schedules, build an adequate staff trained in teaching tech-
niques as well as radio, cooperate with networks, local stations and community groups,
publicize the services of the station, and evaluate the broadcast service.

The expansion of radio stations and the advent of TV will demand the services of
a number of additionalbroadcasting personnel. Therefore, it is recommended that NAEB:

1) explore ways and means to set up internships with school broadcasting stations, 2)
act as a clearing house for applicants for positions in school broadcasting, 3) spon-.
sor the establishment of TV workshops, h) encourage foundations to give financial
support to the production of programs for in school.

Script Committee .

Since the. planning, research and writing of scripts demands many work hours and
since so many have common educational objectives, some definite plans should be form¬
ulated to exchange materials, publicize script sources, encourage participation in
script contests that result in publication of scripts in the public domain and to set
up plans to encourage organizations to use funds for preparation of scripts in desig¬
nated areas* ,

* Facilities Committee

The facilities committee report had three major divisions: 1) broadcast facilities

2) reception facilities, and 3) servicing provisions* A transmitter for school broad¬
casts should be of sufficient power to reach the school community to be served. The
studios should be adequate for the activities of broadcasting including rehearsal,
studio production and radio classes with provisions for future expansion. Reception
facilities, including the acquisition and assignment of classroom radios, should be
considered early in the planning for school broadcasting. Plans for the purchase of
receivers may include administrative purchase, individual school purchase with student
body participation, purchase by PTA groups, or gifts. Classroom reception may be
provided either by individual classroom receivers or through centralized sound systems*
A tape recorder is suggested as an excellent aid. Servicing of school receivers may be
by staff service personnel, contracted commercial service, or vocational students*

Programming Committee

A program of high quality requires an adequate staff. Wherever school organiza¬
tion makes it possible, subject consultants should help decide whether to use broad¬
casting as a classroom aid. Practically speaking, this responsibility should be
carried out by the supervisor and a teacher committee, assisted by a station coordin¬
ator and/or script writer assigned to the series.

The resources available to help satisfy program needs are, as follows! .station
staff members, supervisors and teachers within the school .system are .g prirapry source
for programs* Other educational stations are very helpful in offering scripts or
sample programs • This general practice has become much more effective through the
important work of the NAEB. The United States Office of Education has a script and
transcription exchange which can be very helpful. Commercial stations are often quite
willing to have school stations carry their educational programs. Community resources
should be explored for program aids.

Determining the schedule calls for a consideration of a number of factors# It is
well to be cautious about scheduling one elementary program after another because it
is often necessary to move the classroom radio from one room to another# The same
holds true for secondardy school programs due to the time it takes to change classes#

A good spread of programs for various grade levels is important in programming. Often,
it may be wise to repeat an elementary program one or more times a week.

Utilization Committee

Factors to take into consideration in determining effective utilization of radio
and TV include the selection of the broadcast based on the needs of the specific group
who will use it; study by the teacher of the guide sheets describing the individual
programs; preparation of the class for this experience; adaptation, not just adoption,
by the teacher of all suggested broadcast preparation activities, including follow¬
ups after the end of the program; and guidance of student out-of-school listening.

Teacher training is important in obtaining full utilization of the potential of
the broadcast. This teacher training should be both pre-service and in-serdlce. In
the latter area suggestions for helping teachers include demonstrations by station
coordinators meetings; bulletin helps; and graduate-level courses. Evaluation of all
programs will aid in obtaining better programs in the future.

Production Committee

The report of the production committee urged that all radio and TV production
be the best that the station can achieve and stressed that quantity is no substitute
for quality. The report recognized that all stations operate under some sort of
limitation but once the individual station knows its limitations, it should produce

the best it possibly can. The choice of program format-drama, talk, news, etc.—

must be determined by the content of the individual program or series, and by the
type and age-level of the expected audience.

The report mentioned that the educational telecaster has a challenge to produce
new and original TV formats for commercial TV is still struggling under superimposed
techniques of other media. Writers for radio and TV can be found within the school
system. Speech, English, and Journalism departments are fertile grounds. Writing for
educational radio amd TV must not only satisfy the standards of good writing, but it
must also observe the standards of the media involved. Performing talent like writing
talent may be found within the school system. Yet the schools are not limited in this
respect; they may levy upon the resources of the community at large.

Television Committee

The television committee report points out that the educational channels are
reserved only until June 3, 195>2. The JCET will provide aid and information to any
educational group that plans to apply for a channel. The JCET will provide such
groups with information and consultants in the areas of financing methods, legal ad¬
vice, engineering, and programming sources. Three separate plans of organizing for
educational telecasting are mentioned. The parent-institution plan is one in which
one educational institution files for the license and operates the station with coop¬
erating institutions having access to facilities and time. The new legal entity plan
is one in which the member institutions form a council or foundation and incorporate,
with the council holding the license and operating the station. The third alternative
is for a state network planned and financed by the state. Funds may come from public
tax monies, from participating institutions or from private endowments to fit any of
the above three plans.
