Portland, Ore.—John Emmel has been named musical director of WtjitJnghouse radio sUtion KEX hem* How About lose DHF Reaivers?’ Long Beach, Calif., Sept. 2. Now that UHF. bras become an Integral part of the TV picture it’s time that the manufacturing in- dustry designed its new receivers to pick up the ultra high as^ well the'existing VHF stations, FCC Comr. Rosel Hyde declared in an .address here last Friday (29)‘ be- fore the Institute of Radio Engi- neers. . Pointing out that 40% of the applications before the Commission abe for "UnF channels and that 29 of the 40 new stations authorized since the lifting of the freeze will operate in the UHF band, Comr. Hyde declared: "I feel strongly that every purchaser of a new TV set is entitled to. a set providing complete TV service. And, a set which is hot designed for UHF re- ception does not offer complete service.” The engineers have not fully met the ^allenge of UHF, Hyde said. Higher transmitter power is need- ed as well as lower cost equipment to enable TV stations to operate in the smaller communities. Sixty per cent of the 1^430 localities assigned channels in the TV allocation plan, he noted, have , a population of 25,000 or less. And 60 applica-' tlons have already been filed, he added, for towns of less than 30,000 people. Calling TV "an engineering mar- vel,” Comr. Hyde said the<- me- dium’s impact on our system of government "is just beginning to be realized.” He predicted that without doubt TV will be "one of the most important factors in the political campaigns and elections this year.” Probably at no other time in the history of the nation, Hyde as- serted, have the citizenry been so "intimately acquainted” with the Issues and personalities of a pri- mly campaign. Even little chil- dren, he* said, know more about the democrati(J processes in choos- ing a President today than high school and college students learned from their courses in the "B.T.” (before television) age. Pointing out that the television camera brings out insincerity as well as forthrightness, Comr. Hyde said he does not agree with some prognosticators that the medium will cause the disappearance of the short, stout or bald candidate. "Neither is it going to mean auto- matic success for the fashion plate, the* unctuous, and the fortunately hirsute. But it may well mean the difference between success and failure for the pleasant and honest personality, as contrasted with the unpleasant and the furtive,” IRE convention.
