Int'l Tele-Film Web Envisioned At REC (Continued from Page 1) writer and head of special projects in the United Nations radio division; Pierre Crenesse, North American director of the French Broadcasting System; Thomas Flanagan, managing director, National Association of Radio Station Representatives, and Richard W. Hubbell, consultant and producer. Keynote of the discussion was set forth by Hubbell, who read a cable from William Moffat, managing director of Associated British-Pathe, who said that the British film industry is going ahead with plans to produce pictures expressly for U. S., video stations. Moffat said that the recent devaluation of the pound would make such production available at a lower price and would, in turn, bring sorely needed dollars into England. Calls Idea "Challenging" Corwin said that the idea of exchanging cultural values through TV films is "challenging" and added that the UN "will be glad to offer its help" in the project. Reporting on TV development in Europe, Corwin said that there are two stations in the USSR, one in Moscow and one in southern Russia. Number of receivers there, he said, is estimated at 50,000. In England, he said, there are two stations operating and a third under construction, with 50,000 sets in circulation. France has one outlet on the air in Paris and others on the way in Lisle and Lyon, with receivers numbering 6,000. Stations are under construction, he added, in Holland and Czechoslovakia. Crenesse said that the advanced development of tele in this country opens an entire new market for the French film industry and should prove a helpful adjunct to EGA aid. A goodwill TV network on film, he added, would be a "great step toward international cooperation." The French broadcaster explained that RDF had held up full exploitation of video until its 819-line screen was perfected. This was done, he said, because the Government did not want to necessitate the use of converters and that the 819-line system permits full color pictures on both medium and large size screens. Metallurgy Carl Haverlin, president of BMI and president of REC last year, received a silver lifetime membership card in REC from prexy John Karol at yesterday's meeting. In accepting, Haverlin pointed out that now he is working for the Radio Pioneers, and asked the founder of that zroup, H. V. Kaltenborn, if he could accept the REC card. Kaltenborn rose to say that it was alright, and that the Pioneers would present Haverlin with a gold card.
