- 9 - OTHER MEWS OF MAEB LYNN POOLE IM LONDON Lynn Poole, producer of the "Johns Hopkins Science Review," and public relations director of MAEB associate member Johns Hopkins University, has arrived in London where he is the guest of the British Broadcasting Corporation. In England he is pro- /'“'ducing three television programs—the first produced in Britain for showing in the Jnited States. The general theme is "An American Looks at Science in Britain." On arrival Poole was taken to the Royal Institute and the Royal Society in London, two of Britain’s scientific Institutions to meet the directors and discuss material to be shown on the program. Next day he was taken to Huddersfield, Yorkshire, to see the Holme Moss television transmitter, the top of which is 2^50 feet above sea level. Poole was allowed to climb the mast and his ascent was filmed by a BBC Camera Unit. This sequence was to be shown on the first television program, which was to demon¬ strate the story of British Television before and after World War II. The second program will be broadcast by remote control for the Royal Society and viewers will be shown treasures of science, and a demonstration by Professor Andrade, Director of the Royal Institution. Viewers will be taken into the laboratories, of famous British scientists, and on hand to greet them in person will be scientists such as Sir Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin. This program was to be shown in America on May 19th. Poole was also scheduled to be taken on a flight of the COMET, the all-jet airplane, a companion craft to the one which was recently flown from London to Johannesburg. He will describe to viewers his reaction to this new mode of passenger flight. RADIO-TV DEVELOPMENTS IN KENTUCKY At its last session the Kentucky State Legislature passed a law relieving radio and television stations in that state from being compelled to reveal to any tribunal or governmental legislative committee the source of any information broadcast. This act may have an effect on educational broadcasting in Kentucky since it makes possible the on-the-air use of certain types of recordings made at the scenes of law viola¬ tion. E. G. Sulzer, Director of NAEB member WBKY, was chairman of the Kentucky Broadcasters Association legislative committee which fathered the law. U.K. Students to Accept Summer TV Internships Four University of Kentucky Radio Arts majors will accept ten week internships at WHAS-TV (Louisville) this summer. The students will persue a carefully outlined course of activity including experience as floor directors, script writers, film editors and producers; and will receive college credit for this work. TV Research To Be Done At, The University of Kentucky A recent grant by the University's Research Fund Committee will permit the department of Radio Arts at the University of Kentucky to conduct an interview-type survey among four hundred carefully stratified television homes in Greater Lexington during the early summer. This survey, supplementing one conducted two years ago, will attempt to probe more deeply into the effects of television ownership upon the respondents' communication and other habits.
