AIX-CHMEL RECEIVER DEVELOPMENTS On July 10th the President signed the all-channel receiver bill requiring all TV receivers shipped in interstate commerce be capable of adequately receiving the 70 UHF as well a the 12 VHF channels. This is extremely important to education because of the boost it will give {/HF, in which ETV has two-thirds of its reservations and in which portion of the spectrum it must find its future growth. FCC^ which promptly announced that it would provide for a reasonable transition period, has requested EIA to suggest a switchover date for start of all-channel receiver manufacture and to devise acceptable UHF tuner noise and sensitivity figures. Rule-making will probably be scheduled in September. NCTA AMD ETV Washington was the site recently of the biggest and most successful convention to date of the Community Antenna operators. Appearance and participation of a number of high-level political figures testified to recognition of growing importance of this new aspect of the industry, d,e,vVice President Johnson; Congressman Oren Harisj Sena¬ tors Fulbright, Magnuson, Morse, and Monroney; FCC Chm. MLnow. NAEB President Harley participated in a panel on ETV, along with David Stewart, NETRC; Keith Engar, FCC; and John GuyyFowlkes, University of Wisconsin. Harley praised CATV operators for assistance they are already providing by extending ETV service in many places and assured them that "in certain areas there would be a continuing need to serve schools, colleges, and homes that cannot be reasonably serviced by other means of television transmission." On June 29, the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry held hearings on a bill which would allow the REA to make loans to borrowers for the purpose of setting up CATV systems for educational purposes. The House has already passed the bill (H.R. 10708). NEW RECEIVER FOR FOREIGN ETV A major break-through in overcoming the problem of suitable receivers for devel¬ opment of ETV for mass education in newly-developing nations was announced recently. AID has awarded contract to Warwick Mfg. Co. of $400,000 for 1,000 twenty-three-inch transistorized battery operated sets. This development is part of a large AID program of exploring use of telecommunications for education. NAEB officials met recently with AID administrators concerning a proposal for comprehensive survey of the application of education technology to African nations. SECTION 315 Despite vigorous arguments by commercial broadcasters before the Senate Commu¬ nications Subcommittee, there seems to be littlq^L^kelihood that the equal-time require¬ ment for political candidates will be removed. ^Suspension for 1964 elections, as advocated by President Kennedy, is probable, bun permanent or wholesale elimination of the provision is not. Senator W&rren Magnuson (D.-Wash.) has introduced a bill to end the requirement for broadcasts of presidential and vice-presidential candidates^. Senator Hartke (D.-Ind.) is author of a bill seeking complete repeal of Sec. 315* FCC Chairman Minow testified that he preferred to see the section left intact.
