Fmect Television To Play Visa
Role In 52 Election Campaign
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—One of the big prob
leins facing the presidential candidates and the
national committees of both parties is how to use
television most effectively during the coming cam
paign.
The election of Rudolph Halley, television star of
the Kefauver crime committee hearings, to the
office of president of the New York City Council
largely on his TV fame proved beyond doubt just
how vital that new medium has become in Amefi
can politics.
Ken Fry, director of radio and TV for the Denr
ocratic National Committee, estimates that when
the 'B2 campaign is in full swing there will be more
than 15,000,000 TV sets in operation in the U. S.
And with the coaxial cables he estimates that a
candidate making one speech will have a potential
audience of 55 percent of the total population: This
gives the politicians television whether they want it
or not.
According to the experts, TV is going to mean
several things. First, it's going to take a lot more
money from candidates and parties. It's going to
mean more planning for speeches. It’s going to
mean candidates mraking movies. And it's going to
mean that the women'’s vote is more important than
ever before.
In the '4B campaign both parties spent about
$700,000 each for radio time, with only a negligible
amount spent on TV, This campaign is going to re
quire about the same radio time (because TV can
not reach a great many areas) plus a lot of TV
time, And that is where the rub comes in as far as
money is concerned.
COST MAY RUN INTO MILLIONS
Thirty minutes of the best time—early evening—
on one of the largest TV networks, which has 64
stations, costs $27,405. And if a commercially spon
sored program has to be cancelled, the candidate or
party has to pay for that show, in addition to time
charges, which might cost in the neighborhood of
$30,000. At these prices, it doesn’t take many tele
vised speecheg to run into the million~dollar figure.
One answer to this might be the outright spon
sorship of political speeches by big firms. But it's a
lot of money no matter how you do it.
All TV experts agree that television will not put
a premium on getting some photogenic, movie-hero
type as & cnn(ydate as has been predicted. Julian B.
Goodman, director of TV news for NBC in Wash
ington, explains:
“A candidate does not have to be an actor or
pretty boy to make a convincing speech to the vot
ers. Most important, he’s got to be forthright and
honest because television gives a much more dis
cerning look at a candidate by his audience than
any other meédium. ;
“It also gives a voter a better look at a man than
even hearing him at a big rally because the viewer
sits quietly in his own living room studying the
man and isn’t distracted or influenced by the other
whoopla of a rally or demonstration.”
Fry says he gives speakers three tips for a TV
speech. First, he tells them:to get a close shave.
Failure to do this can make you look like the crook
type. Next, you should dress neatly, he warns. And,
finally, he advises them to talk just as though they
are explaining something to a friend in his own
living room, because, that, in effect, is just what
they are doing.
TO HAVE SEPARATE PLANS FOK
TV AND RADIO
Both Fry and Ed Ingalls, radio and TV director
for the Republican National Committee, plan to
keep radio and TV entirely separate as far as plan
ning goes, TV speeches will be directed mostly at
city audiences. Radio speeches will be aimed at the
specific areas where no TV is available. TV will
also require candidates to make movies of speeches
for distribution to local TV stations.
Goodman; Fry and Ingalls all agree that video
will put emphasis on the women’s vote this time.
Women, Goodnran explains, aré more influenced by
the general appearance of a man—and he doesn’t
have to be handsome—than by his political reason=-
ing. Thue, more women than ever before will get a
chance to make their decisions on the basis of hav
ing, seen the candidate in action. This factor is
something candidates will have to be very careful
about, they claim.,
Among party strategists, the question is already
hot as to the candidate who will make the most
effective TV personality, SBenator Taft is said to be
excellent. Governor Wararen of California is also
good. President Truman is rated only fair. General
Eisenhower is considered best of all,
It is not claimed by any of the television experts
hat TV alone will elect or defeat a president in
1952. But they do claim that it will nrake a bigger
change in the character of campaigns than was
raused by radio.
'Red Tape Brigade’ Doesn't
Learn, Even From Example
Roscoe Drummond, chief of the Christian Science
Monitor’s Washington bureau, has found a remark
able twist in the capital. Somebody in government
is trying to get something done without creating a
new agency to do it.
Specifically, the National Security Resources
Board is trying to promote the dispersal of new
industry in the United States for safety reasons.
Says the board:
“There is no need of a bureau in Washington or
elsewhere in the federal government to do this
job.”
Like a cool wind off the lake, isn’t it?
And apparently the effort is meeting with con
siderable initial success despite the board’s almost
heretical views. If it works out, maybe others will
be inclined toward this unorthodoxy and away
from the prevailing notion that you're not in busi=
ness until you've denuded the capital warehouses
of every available desk and have hired people to
lean on thenr. %
Yet one shouldn’t be too hopeful. Back in 1941,
Washington got a lesson like this and profited
little.
Top government officials were meeting on the
Sunday after Pearl Harbor, desperately concerned
with our dwindling stocks of natural rubber. With
supplies from the Dutch East Indies cut off, ration
ing at the earliest possible moment was indicated.
An all-day harangue found veteran federal offi
cials insisting it would take six months to create a
rationing system. They envisioned training a large
tield force to be dispatched to every corner of the
land to operate it,
At this juncture, up spoke a man who was not
enmeshed in the Washington tangle:
“I can do it in three weeks.”
Nobody believed him, but the matter was so
urgent they finally told him to go ahead and see
what he could do.
The man was Frank Bane, executive director of
the Council of State Governments, and a sort of
minister without portfolio to the 48 governors. He
was banking on help from them, and a lot of local
people besides. -
He got it. Alerted by wire, the governors sprang
into action., Volunteers spread out in every town,
ferreting out office space, furniture, willing hands
to serve on ration boards. With a big map, a set of
pins, a telephone and a small headquarters staff,
Bane kept tabs on the tremendous organization
effort. Where pressure was needed, it was applied.
A few preliminary regional meetings had helped
build up steam,
When the Monday morning deadline for the start
of rationing arrived, the set-up was ready. In three
weeks the foundation had been laid for a system
that was to serve — on a greatly expanded basis—
throughout World War 11.
You would tkink this sort of showing would
make a dent on the bureaucratic mind, but it
doesn’t seem to. The Red Tape Brigade, drawing
upon an inexhaustible arsenal of unintelligible di
rectives, soon regained control. Jealously it has
guarded and enlarged its domain ever since.
All the poor citizen can do is hope that, because
it is 10 years later, the story will be different this
time and the paper legions of Washington official
dom will be forced to retreat to previously con
fused positions.
French Economy Is Weak
In spite of the good showing France has made
politically and militarily, its economic position still
presents a tremendous weakness. Actually, the
French worker is no better off now than he was in
1938.
If the cost of living index is figured at 100 for
that year, the 1950 level is 1700. And there has been
a 35 percent increase, to about 2300 this year. How
to stabilize the franc and head off this terrific in
flation is the greatest problem that faces the French
National Assembly when it meets soon.
Other big issues before tha essembly include rati
fication of the Schuman plan and agreement on
incorporation of German troop units in a European
army. The present French government nray try to
present all these programs in a single package, as
the French national defense plan.
The emigration of the Irish pecple from their
country is a great national hemorrhage that must
be stopped. Our governmrent is meeting the prob
lem by trying to create new industries and to make
farm life more attractiev.--John J, Hearne, Irish
ambassador to U. S.
Smoking does not seem to affect women to a
great degree (in developing cancer of the lung) ...
the soil is different in a woman.—Dr. Alton Ochs
ner, former president, American Cancer Society.
Greatness in education mrust be fashioned out of
complexity and cooperation. It no longer consists, if
it ever did, of a teacher and a student, with a log
between. — Lawrence A. Kimpton, administrator,
University of Chicago.
The time has come when a power on earth has
decided that a state is more important than a hu
man soul and intends to enforce that ideal by the
power of arms. . . . If we respond and meet the
threat, then that kind of tyranny cannot prevail.—
General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Plan For Unified Europe To Block .
Red March Faces Uphill Struggle
By LEON DENNEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
STRASBOURG, France—(NEA)
The plan for a union of Europe to
resist Soviet aggression is facing
an uphill struggle in the Council
of Europe’s Consultative Assem
bly.
This is the consensus of 14 U. S.
Congressmen who have just con
cluded joint sessions here with
representatives of Western parlia
ments.
To say that a majority of the
Europeans agree hardly tells the
story. There is a mood of near
despair in the Council’s assembly
halls. It is a mood underscored
by the dreary Autumn in Stras
bourg, with its damp streets and
the misty Rhine dividing France
and Germany. The city’s history
contradicts the Council’s aims:
four “ times since 1870 it has
changed hands between the French
and Germans. :
The Europeans acknowledge that
only a unified Europe would be in
a position economically and mili
tarily to meet the Russian threat.
Yet in view of the many differ
ences separating the Western na
tions, few foresee the creation of
an effective union in the near fu
ture.
Little Hope
Prime Minister Churchill of
Britain may discuss unity with
President Truman in Washington
during his January visit, but lit
tle hope is held for striking re
sults.
Churchill actually was the first
to advocate European union, while
he was a member of the opposition
in Parliament. The Labor govern
ment was against it. And now
that he has regained power, he
appears to have reverted to the

traditional British position of iso
lation from the Continent,
Prospects are not much bright
er in France. Few expect the
French to agree to the integra
tion of West German troops into a
European defense system, or that
the German Social Democrats will
support a limited German rearma
ment.
These uncertainties were clearly
expressed by Guy Mollet, French
Socialist representative at Stras
bourg, and Carlo Schmid, vice
president of the West German
parliament at Bonn.

The American delegation, head
ed by Senator Theodore " Green,
84-year-old Rhode Island Demo
crat, came here at the invitation
of the Council of Europe. Aim of
the visit was to afford the con
gressmen a better understanding
of European problems, and to sti
mulate unity.
Instead the delegation heard
Paul Reynaud, former French pre
miere, declare that Britain “re
fuses to join such unity move
ments as the European army, now
being drafted by the North At
lantic Treaty Organization, and
the Schuman plan for pooling coal
and steel.”
He charged that Britain is the
“main stumbling block to a united
Europe.”
Despite the good will displayed
by the U. S. lawmakers, and the
fervent unity pleas of Senator Mc-
Mahon, Connecticut Demoerat, and
Senator Humphrey, Minnesota
Democrat, the view here is that
their mission did not produce en
couraging results.

many Americans feel deeply that
further wunion is necessary and
that the Western powers must
somehow surmount their difficul

Senator Wiley, Wisconsin Re

Council delegates that failure to

United States back into isolation.
Yet these appeals are not ex

Britain may have softened its at

pressure from Washington,
“I always thought that it was

a European diplomat told me, “but
at Strasbourg I have seen Ameri

“Considerations of defense, our
Commonwealth ties, and the ecc
nomic implications of the sterling
area all preclude it,” said Boothby.
If it came io a choice between
Europe and the Commonwealth,
over 90 per cent of our people

Sianal Corps Orphan
Drive Advancing
As Chrisimas Nears
CAMP GORDON, Ga.—The Sig
nal Corps Training Center’s tradi
tional Christmas drive to help Ger
man orphans is advancing at a
record-breaking rate.
Throughout the month of No
vember military personnel of the
Center have been gathering pre
sents for the Bruchel orphanage,
near Heidelberg, Germany—home
of 80 children aged two to ten.
And already they have surpassed
their contribution records for 1949
and 1950, when they similarly
helped an institution for blind
children, and a children’s hospi
tal, respectively.
~ To personalize their Santa ges
\ture, student companies in the
Signal schools here have each, par
ticularly, inh its own turn, adopted
their own child at the orphanage.
They keep the child’s picture be
fore them on the bulletin board,
and each company forwards its
gifts to its own chosen child.
Already these initial voluntary
contributions have been forwarded
from the center to the Chief Sig=
nal Officer, European .Command,
who will have delivery;to the or
phanage:
Sheeting Material—soo yards;
Pillow Casing—3oo yards; Girl’s
Dresses—3o; Night wear—7s sets;
Children’s shoes—7s pairs; Soap
powder—lso pounds. Miscellane
ous: cooking equipment, first aid
supplies, non - perishable food,
syrups, and candies.
This original shipment is but the
forerunner of far greater quanti
ties now being gathered.
Keynote of this particularly suc
cessful campaign has been a deep
ly touching passage from the pen
of an author unknown:
’ “. . I expect to pass through
this world but once. Any good
therefore that I can do, or any
kindness that I can show to any
