ANGRY WORDS . . .
CAN CANADA'S prime minister, Louis St. Laurent, write to the chairman of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., as a private citizen, complaining about a commentary on Canada's foreign policy?
The fact that Prime Minister St. Laurent had written two letters of complaint to A. D. Dunton, CBC chairman, caused a furor in the Canadian House of Commons March 28 and 29. All opposition parties told the prime minister that his name on a letter, even as a private citizen, to the head of a government corporation, smacked of censorship. Angry words were exchanged for over an hour during the debate, but Mr. St. Laurent would not table the letters in question. He had complained about the tone used by a young university professor, not long in Canada, on a commentary on foreign policy.
European Tv Stations Plan New Live Hookup for June
EUROPEAN television stations which have been staging hookups at irregular intervals under the label of Eurovision during the past years are planning a new type of live programming for June this year.
Different Eurovision stations, according to the plans will, for the first time, contribute live segments to a single joint hookup embracing the greater part of Europe. Estimated maximum number of television sets in Europe to be reached by the program is nine million (of which Britain would supply more than two thirds).
Engineers preparing the June hookup are facing many unprecedented technical problems since the participating 11 Eurovision countries have a total of three different technical tv standards. A center for the planned hookup is being set up in Brussels, Belguim. Complicated switching and standard conversion would be handled there.
Ponds African Div. Sponsors News Show on Springbok Radio
SOUTH African Branch of ChesebroughPonds, through J. Walter Thompson Co., has signed for a 15-minute news program six evenings a week over the 12-station Springbok Radio Network in South Africa, starting April 1.
The sponsorship coincided with the start of UP Radio News Service to Springbok, said to mark first time that news service has been made available to the commercial network.
Pierre Louw, manager of Springbok, said the network recently added two new shortwave transmitters which are beamed to South Africa and Rhodesia. He added that rates are being raised from 50-100% as a result of a 25% increase in audience potentials. The Union of South Africa, according to Mr. Louw, has about 800,000 registered listeners, in additional to those bordering the Central African Federation.
