Review Plans Announced Plans for the publication of Educational Broadcasting Review, a new bi-monthly journal devoted to the presentation and ex¬ change of ideas related to educational broad¬ casting, have been announced by William G. Harley, NAEB president. Ohio State Uni¬ versity, Columbus, Ohio, has been selected as the publication center for the new maga¬ zine. Arrangements between the university and NAEB specify that Ohio State will supply necessary space and secretarial help for the publication. Richard Hull, former NAEB board chairman and director of the Tele¬ communications Center at Ohio State, said the university intends to establish a special working editorial committee to explore the exact nature and format of the Review. The committee includes Dr. William Hall, direc¬ tor, School of Journalism, Dr. Edgar Dale, professor, School of Education, Dr. Robert Wagner, head of the Motion Picture Divi¬ sion, and Dr. James Lynch of the Depart¬ ment of Speech.

It will replace the NAEB Journal which has been pub¬ lished by the association since the Fall of 1956 at the University of Illinois, Urbana. All Review correspondence should be sent to Dr. Lynch, Dept, of Speech, Ohio State Univ., Columbus, O. 43221.

Dr. Bell has announced that attendance at the conference will be limited to a dozen groups of not more than 30 each, so that all delegates can work together more profit¬ ably.
