NAEB Team Barred
From India

NER Seeks Broader Use of Radio FCC Rejects
Wingspread Conference Set NAEB Petition

Indian protest groups nipped in the bud
development of a rural radio system for
India. Their technique — 'loud outcries
which grounded a 4-man NAEB study team
less than 12 hours before takeoff for New
Delhi from Washington, D.C. Under the
direction of Dr. Kenneth Wright of the
University of Tennessee, the team planned
to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of
problems involved in expanding official In¬
dian broadcasts, All-India Radio. The main
aim was to get first-hand news on crop,
pest and weather conditions quickly to
farmers scattered throughout the country
in more than half a million villages. News
would be in local dialects.

Those participating in the project includ¬
ed Dr. Floyd E. Carlson, State University
of N.Y. College of Forestry; Ovid Gano
from the J. Hillis Miller Health Center,
University of Florida; Mr. Macdonald Wig¬
gins, Martin Company, Orlando Division.

The idea originated with the U. S. Agen¬
cy for International Development Mission
to India and had the approval of Mrs. In¬
dira Ghandi, Prime Minister of India.

Fifty key leaders in education, govern¬
ment, industry, and the arts will meet this
fall to establish effective ways of utilizing
radio more thoroughly here and abroad.
NER executive director Jerrold Sandler an¬
nounced that the conference will be sup¬
ported by the Johnson Foundation because
of its belief that “radio is an under-de¬
veloped educational resource.”

Mr. Sandler commented, “There has long
been the need to bring together outstand¬
ing people in major fields who have con¬
tributed significantly to the nation’s edu¬
cational and cultural growth to devise prac¬
tical suggestions for developing radio to
its full potential.” The Wingspread Con¬
ference on Educational Radio as a Nation¬
al Resource is scheduled for September 26-
28, Johnson Foundation, Racine, Wisconsin.

Before The FCC

The Federal Communications Commission
rejected NAEB’s Petition for Reconsidera¬
tion of its Fifth Report and Order, on July
12. The Fifth Report, released in March,
1966, announced a Table of Assignments in
which the number of UHF assignments and
the number of reservations were fewer
than in previous Commission assignment
plans.

In its Petition the NAEB said that the
unsaturated framework of the assignment
table resulted in fewer educational reserva¬
tions and therefore deprived the education¬
al community of essential frequency space.

Of special concern is the Commission’s
attitude toward the use of broadcast fre¬
quencies for instructional purposes. In its
July 13 Memorandum the Commission says
“if the broadcast channels are used to serve
a relatively limited number of pre-planned
receiving points they are, in effect, with¬
drawn from the broadcasting service, there¬
by compounding an already serious short¬
age. If there were no other way to reach
the pre-selected receiving points the use of
the broadcast channels could be justified.”

AID, currently guiding India in food
production and family planning, had asked
NAEB to choose leading communications
specialists who would make recommenda¬
tions for the overall radio system, as well
as the type of low-power, low-cost trans¬
mitter most suitable, development of serv¬
iceable transistor receivers that could be
manufactured in India, sold inexpensively
to the populace.

Controversy erupted when an Indian
news agency reported that transmitters
would be placed in every one of India’s
320 districts, to be manned by American
technicians, with Peace Corps volunteers
preparing broadcast materials. The charge
was denied by both American and Indian
spokesmen.

The left-wing press seized the opportuni¬
ty to stir anti-U.S. feelings, focusing on
/—" what it considers American economic press¬

ure to divert India from its socialist path.
The pro-Communist daily, The Patriot,
called the proposed network “more danger¬
ous than the Voice of America.”

In separate statements filed before the
Federal Communications Commission, both
the NAEB and the State Educational Tele¬
vision Agency for the State of Iowa op¬
posed a petition filed by Mark Twain
Broadcasting (KHMO), a commercial
broadcaster in Hannibal, Mo. KHMO aims
to uproot Channel 12, Iowa City, to make
room for a Channel 12 assignment in Han¬
nibal. NAEB stressed “that facilities to be
utilized by Iowa for initiating VHF state¬
wide coverage must be located to provide
effective coverage to prime population cen¬
ters,” reminding “Iowa plans to pool all
educational resources hi an interconnected
service for key areas.” In written testimony
now before the FCC, NAEB says applica¬
tion of The Board of Regents of the Uni¬
versities and State Colleges of Arizona,
licensee of KUAT, Channel 6, Tucson, to
relocate its transmitter, increase power is
in the public interest. Statement includes
objections to a related FCC proposal to de¬
lete reservation on Channel 10 at Silver
City, New Mexico, along with complete
deletion of Channel 6 from that area.

The NAEB petition cited the difficulty of
pre-selecting receiving points and of de¬
termining reasonable criteria for establish¬
ing a “relatively limited number.” The
Commission Memorandum indicated that
“various alternates (have been provided)
for the various needs of educators . . .
The Instructional Television Fixed Service
is specifically tailored for classroom instruc¬
tion and other related administrative func¬
tions.”

The Commission’s Memorandum termin¬
ates this aspect of the UHF Assignment
proceeding. Further decisions will deal with
the use of Channels 70-83 that have been
set aside by the FCC as possible “low-
power community-type” television stations.

Dean Rusk Reappoints Harley

President William G. Harley will con¬
tinue to serve as NAEB representative to
the U. S. National Commission for UNES¬
CO. The term ends in fall, 1968.

NEWSLETTER

ETV Newsman Cops
duPont Award

Cecil Brown of KCET, Hollywood, Cali¬
fornia, walked off with a $1,000 duPont
prize and new-found esteem for ETV
broadcasting from commercial counterparts
for “thoughtful, forthright opinions, based
upon many years of personal observation
of, and involvement in, the major events of
our time.” Just a year ago the Alfred I.
duPont Awards Foundation voted against
recognition of public affairs commentary,
noting it did not warrant award to an in¬
dividual newsman.

Veteran reporter Brown was hailed by
judges for “stimulating and informative
analyses ... in the finest tradition of pub¬
lic affairs broadcasting,” for adding a
“vigorous and effective voice to public dis¬
cussion and understanding in a major met¬
ropolitan area.”

Brown was expelled from Italy by the
Facists for straightforward coverage of
happenings there during World War II,
kept off the air by the British because his
reports, though accurate, were considered
bad for morale.

WRVR, New York City, the Riverside
Church radio station, has also been com¬
mended by duPont for “mature and can¬
did discussion of social, cultural, and po¬
litical ideas.”

ETV-Taught Social Work Studied by NCSCT

evaluated, new guideposts set for develop¬
ing better telecourses. A written report is
scheduled for publication. Cohen explained
that similar conferences have revealed
authorities are “disappointed about televi¬

about the potential role of TV in music and
art classrooms.”

Iowa Study Completed

NAEB’s Office of Research and Devel¬
opment recently published a comprehensive
report which outlines Iowa’s educational
needs, details a plan for developing an in¬
terconnected statewide ETV and radio sys¬
tem.

Included is a major recommendation that
the Iowa legislature establish a State Edu¬
cational Communications Authority, em¬

power it to coordinate all related communi¬
cations activities, hold licenses for new ETV
and radio stations, administer a central Ed¬
ucational Communications Center proposed
for Des Moines. Participants in the study
say that the Authority should also deal with
common-carriers, negotiate costs, handle
most of the problems involved in establish¬
ing this kind of broad electronic educational
communications system.

A curriculum committee, representing ele¬
mentary, secondary, junior college, higher
education levels, would act as an advisory
group to the Authority.
