WEEK IN BRIEF The two men who made broadcasting history a year ago —FCC Chairman Minow and NAB President Collins — made more history last week but they did it in a different way. The chairman focused his NAB convention attention on radio commercialism and proposed an FCC-Industry conference on radio over-population. Gov. Collins enhanced his prestige by sharply criticizing FCC's Chicago hearings. A complete wrapup of the convention. See . . .

He's resigned as RAB president. Now a committee is seeking a replacement. See . . . SWEENEY LEAVING RAB 30 The crime and violence problem is due for more dissecting in May. This time the federal government will bring together social scientists and broadcasters. A goal: better tv for the youngsters. See . . . CHILD TV CONFERENCE 91 ABC-TV affiliates heard pleasant news at a meeting held prior to the NAB Chicago convention — they're to get Fri., 10:30-11 p.m. for local programming. Thomas Moore makes his debut as operating head. See . . . ABC-TV YIELDS PERIOD 94 Problems of training the coming generation of broadcasters occupied Assn. for Professional Broadcasting Education at its recent meeting. Members agree facilities and courses are inadequate. See . . . TRAINING NEW PERSONNEL 95 The long-range fight for access to court coverage moves slowly. Last week there were two good signs — NAB President Collins proposed a Supreme Court test; RTNDA test plan has met legal interest. See . . .
