lnan tnlnt PenHi, WHMieer, CBS-TV Moving Two Departments To LA. 8" LOS ANGELES (AP) -Since 1947, when the CBS-TV-networle began, two ol Its moit powerlul departments programs and business affairs have been run from New York, where most TV production once was. On May 1, B. Donald Grant and Gerald Rubin, the respec mediate face-to-face decisions Instead of trying to handle things through Los Angeles subordinates or during their next visit here. Wood also expressed surprise that ABC and NBC haven't made similar corporate shifts from New York to Los Angeles.

"To me." he said. "It's such an obvious thing I think you may see, not too many months down the rOad, one or both of the remaining networks doing the same thing, though that's only a guess on my part." here. "That would be my educated guess, based on the research that I've seen so far," he said. He added that this could change, but "I'd say that's what we're headed for." CBS' corporate shifts go back to the days of his predecessor. Bob Wood, who ran CBS from 1969 to last May, when he resigned to start a production company here under a CBS contract.

Wood said two years ago he proposed relocating not only CBS' programs and business affairs headquarters here, but also his office, simply because the bulk of TV production had long since moved here from New York. He got nowhere then: "No Burr Show Failure In Ratings body said it was a lousy Idea. They Just felt for me to be out here would raise serious operational problems." Wood said he felt CBS overcame that by leaving Wussler in New York and moving his second In command. Daly, and the headquarters of CBS' programming and business affairs departments here. "It's really a smart, good move of the network," Wood added, saying he felt this way because top executives will be available here each day for im For Special York or during busy visits to what they call "the Coast." Don't get the idea all of CBS Is leaving Fun City.

CBS-TV chief Robert Wussler says he'll stay based In New York, as will CBS News and the network's sales promotion, finance and sports departments. But the relocation of this much CBS power here possibly could start a trend, even though NBC and ABC say they have no plans to move their program and business affairs gurus here from New York. Wussler said in a phone Interview this week that since most network entertainment shows now are made here, it's conceivable that some day the head of CBS-TV will be based DAI Art No Show Occasions I RAMADA INN' B(lli MIVI-IN 'Til Friday THIATE ft tive heads of CBS' programs and business affairs, and CBS' No. 2 man, Robert A. Daly, will run things from Los Angeles, where most TV action now is.

The idea is to have them where most entertainment shows are made, to do their executive deeds here, rather than by phone or memo from New homes. The week's lowest-rated program was a CBS News special, "The Fire Next Door," seen in about 9 million homes. According to the Nielsen estimates, last week's 20 most-watched shows were "Happy Days."

The 194-2 vote sent the bill to the Senate. Since all schools were forced to close three days, this year, the normal requirement of 180 days for full funding was reduced to 177.

In addition, there's a provision for fully funding those districts that missed more than three days because they couldn't get natural gas. Those districts must convince the Department of Education they made a good faith effort to have as many school days as possible. The state Education Department said It expected 100 districts to have 177 days and about 40 to fall short. The remaining 365 districts will have 180 days by adding additional sessions to the school calendar. 47u-N STARTS FRIDAY El SfS XSk iTXCl 3- Sound of Progress I OtJ Zi llGf 4- Rookie.
