nas and an apparently bewildering
combination of stacking and matching
devices are now available for
fringe area installations. To select the
best antenna requires a full knowledge
of the reception conditions at the
customer's home. A test installation
is often required to determine just
what difficulties prevail and then,
with a sound knowledge of the characteristics
of various antenna types, the
proper choice can be made. It is often
said that "for each man there is a
maid" and similarly, for each installation
there is an antenna, the right
one just has to be found.

to be used extensively by the new administration,
during a recent news
conference conducted by the President's
news secretary, James C. Hagerty.
Noting that we are in a day of
a new medium, TV, Hagerty said that
perhaps it might be possible to devise
a system whereby the President could
give monthly talks, or conduct press
conferences via television once a
month. No specific details on the
plan were issued, but it was indicated
that the networks are being consulted
on the most practical methods that
could be used.
Prexys of the nets applauded the
news that such a regular TV schedule
from the White House might soon
become a reality, and all indicated
that they would be very willing to cooperate
in working out the various arrangements.
All Presidential telecasts would
also be carried ria standard broadcast
facilities, Hagerty also indicated,
thus making it possible for over 100,-
000,000 to see and hear the President.
THE LONG -DELAYED all- important
theater TV hearings finally received
a go -ahead during the early part of
the year, and engineering and accounting
experts of motion picture
interests, and radio and wire companies
began offering testimony.
Appearing on the stand were representatives
from the National Exhibitors
Theatre Television Committee
and the Motion Picture Association of
America, AT &T, RCA, Western Union,
American Petroleum Institute, Theater
Network Television, Theater Television
Authority, Independent Telephone
Association, Aeronautical
Radio, American Trucking Association,
and the American Civil Liberties
Union.
Briefs did not seem to impress the
Commissioners too much, and some
of the members bluntly asked if the
hearings would serve any purpose.
Three factors appeared to disturb the
seven -man body; lack of a programming
plan and cost data, and details
on the number of hours that might be
used. Many inconsistencies in testimony
