NAET Organizes Emphasizing that it does not consider itself in conflict with any existing educational broadcasting association and does consider that its work will be complementary to that of the NAEB, the National Association for Educational Television came into being May 18. Charter members are the Alabama ETV Commission (Ray Hurlbert, general manager, NAET president), the Oklahoma ETV Authority (John Dunn, di¬ rector, NAET vice president), and the Twin City Area ETV Corporation (John C. Schwarzwalder, general manager, NAET secretary-treasurer). “Membership in the new association is open to all con¬ cerned with educational broadcasting,” Schwarzwalder said. He stated the purpose of the new organization: To provide ETV stations and other groups concerned with production and use of ETV programs with a means of insuring a united approach to problems of legislation, research, production, and finance.
