He ini Radio-Television News Service 7/12/50 The RCA brief concluded: "The RCA case* in sura, is that its color system, by the use of the most advanced techniques of modern electronics, permits the highest color standards of any system before the Commission. The color fidelity of the RCA system is not compromised, as is that of CBS, by the necessity to select color primaries to reduce flick¬ er. The RCA system is fully compatible a factor of greatest importance in making it possible for the broadcaster to promote color now. "The CBS case does not directly attack the fundamental capability of the RCA system to do what RCA says it will do. But, by concentrating on some of the apparatus defects which appeared at the RCA demonstrations of last Fall, CBS rides the theme that there is ‘grave doubt’ whether all these defects have been eliminated. "This is the CBS of its proposed findings, and, in large part, the CBS of the hearings. "But there is another CBS. When pressed on cross-examina¬ tion by some of the Commissioners themselves, CBS gave some answers which are an interesting contrast to the 'grave doubt' theme of the CBS findings." XXXXXXXX TV SERVICE RATES LOWERED; BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU COMPLAINTS The RCA Service Company this week announced reductions in its factory-service television contract prices resulting largely from the development of what it says improved RCA Victor television receiver chassis which is expected to reduce installation and normal servicing costs. Offering performance with 30 per cent fewer parts and 20 per cent fewer connections, the new chassis is incorporated in all new RCA Victor television receivers, to be publicly introduced July 17. In making the announcement, C. M. Odorizzi, Vice President in Charge of RCA Victor Service, voiced a warning that the television Industry is facing a critical shortage of trained service technicians, Hugh R. Jackson, President of the Better Business Bureau of New York, last week declared that the high volume of complaints received in connection with television set sales and servicing in the last five months had shown the need for a vigorous drive to curb the misleading practices and to give the public unbiased, authentic facts on essential points of buying sets and obtaining service. While blaming the frauds on a small element of those in the trade, he called them a serious threat to a bright new industry. 9
