as we see it Week of February 12-18 LOCAL PROGRAM GUIDE How long can Congress deny the Na¬ tion a televised look at its proceed¬ ings, when the President of the United States invites TV film cameras to cover his press conferences? President Eisenhower has availed himself of the latest means of com¬ munication to inform the public of his reactions to national and international developments. The Congress, which represents the electorate no less than does the President, fears any contact with TV because of one or two un¬ controlled and unhappy experiences in telecasting special Congressional committee meetings. The happy ex¬ periences are ignored. It would be foolish to recommend that all sessions of the House and Senate and all committee meetings be televised live. It is just as fool¬ ish to refuse permission to televise any Congressional proceedings ex¬ cept those in which the President or visiting foreign dignitaries participate. Film cameras cover all of each Pres¬ idential press conference. The film is edited by press secretary James C. Hagerty and turned over to the tele¬ casters. Some day, perhaps, a less biased editor will take over that re¬ sponsibility. But perhaps that same procedure could be followed in the House and Senate, with film cameras recording all sessions and an edited version being telecast the same eve¬ ning to viewers. It is up to Congress and the net¬ works to devise some means of re¬ porting highlights of legislative ac¬ tion—by camera—to the people of this Nation. Thus the old dream of a really informed public might be brought one step closer to reality.
