The Electronic Industries Association immediately accused the commission of creatine; an unfair competitive advantage for some manufacturers by releasing the Information. The commission, which has been conferring with the industry for three months and recently chided manufacturers for not moving fast enough, said the nation's 22 million color jets have been igniting at LOWELL THOMAS and Ike Klelnerman called from the East last week to "plug" a couple of TV specials tonight and Thursday. Thomas you know as the eminent news commentator.

Klelnerman is a producer of "CBS Reports." Both men had some interesting things to say. Kleinerman produced tonight's 10 o'clock special on Channel 9 on "The Days They Had to Close the Schools." Thomas' latest intriguing overseas expedition to New Guinea will be shown at 7:30 p. m. Thursday over Channel 5. The school report covers last year's financial crisis at the Fremont, Ohio, system.

Thomas had the first TV news show during World War n.

Five hundred Australian patrol officers cover New Guinea to protect the civilized from the savages. "The courage, perseverance and imagination of these young men interested me the most," Thomas said. One officer, Robin Barclay, "is sort of the central figure In our show." Lowell Thomas was born In Darke County, two miles from Greenville, Ohio and a stone's throw from Annie Oakley's birthplace. Now, he lives on 2000 acres near Pauling, N. among white spruce and red pine trees which are 40-years-old.

Thomas Is proud of his 40 years in 'radio. "It's the longest, continuous run of any program," he said. "I had a running start. I proceeded 'Amos 'n Andy' and sioner told Kleinerman. "I've never heard anyone talk like he did," the producer countered.
