In other action: Council voted to reject a $106,000 bid of the Northern Kentucky Sanitation Walton, for waste collection in the increase over budgeted expenses for the service and an increase from $1.75 per single family unit to $2.85. City Co-ordlnator Clyde Rouse was authorized to re-advertise bids. A request by Martin Groover, station manager of WHKK, to erect an 118 square foot sign in front of the radio station at Home Street and Commonwealth Avenue was rejected because the sign exceeds the 100 square foot maximum set by statute.

Building Inspector Leon Ryle told council that he has turned down at least eight different requests in the city for similar exemptions. An ordinance raising the salary of the city police judge from $200 a month to $300 a month was passed as was an ordinance increasing the possible size of the auxiliary police from 10 men to 15. A request by councilman Ross Brown that the council reconsider its motion, passed two weeks ago, setting Halloween from 2 to 6 p. m. October 26 was denied.

Mayor Price told council he had received an opinion from the state attorney general's office saying the tax increase by the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission from 1.8 cents per $100 assessed property valuation to 2.9 cents was illegal. The city of Covington has filed suit to block the increase. By ar FranR WeiKel tmmmmmmwcs Lid Mother Goose. 3Iodern Version MOTHER GOOSE RHYMES have been popular for the last couple hundred years.

Under cross examination by defense Attorney Bemln Lawrence, of Louisville, Steinberg said that he pleaded guilty to the charges, and had his case transferred to Cincinnati because "I felt I would be far more comfortable being tried in my home town than I would over here In Kentucky.

The network hook-up constitutes a 'pipe-line' through which can be pumped a comprehensive range of data and information, in addition to a television signal. "AN EARLY design commitment of the network was to satisfy as many people as was electronically possible and economically efficient The design is there the possibilities are being explored fully with those state and local public agencies whose service could clearly and beneficially use a real-time telecommunications system." Kentucky Educational Television was on the drawing boards for 10 years before it finally became a reality. For this reason, it might seem rather facetious to say it is now still in its infancy stages.

But it is. And will be until it has the capabilities to explore more fully those "wider communications Governor Louie B.

Steinberg pleaded guilty to the charges, and was fined $4000 and given three years probation in January of 1909 In Cincinnati U. S.

District Court. He was the fifth witness called by the prosecution in the Cooper trial, which begins its third day of testimony this morning. Steinberg testified for about 20 minutes. RAYMOND G. Fleming, state director of FHA, called to the stand Monday afternoon, continued his testimony Tuesday about FHA records on homes at 1051 Grand 403 Forest 2 Summer Hill, 14 Chesapeake and 523 Columbia Street Virgil Klnnard, vice president of Klssell Mortgage Banker Cincinnati; Laura Davis, former assistant loan officer at Klssell, and Margie Sclelfer, former secretary for Ardmore, testified before Steinberg took the stand.

K1SSELL ISSUED the FHA ap How unprecedented beginning for an E-TV operation In the nation. This rapid Increase in utilization can be credited to the tireless and unceasing efforts of the network's educational division, headed by Chuck Klasek. Largely through the efforts of his department, teacher workshops and tn-servlce programs were conducted to Instruct teachers and school administrators in the use of television in the classroom. But the true story of Kentucky Educational Television lies not in what the network did during the past year, but rather in what it was unable to do. ACCORDING TO Leonard Press.

"A television production organization is nothing if it doesn't create. "In this first year." he continues, "we were limited almost entirely to showing programs produced elsewhere. Most were outstanding. But particularly in the areas of education and training, we must increase the ln-state production of programs which have more direct revelance to Kentucky's needs." Leon Steinberg testified in U. S.

District Court, Covington, Tuesday that Wendell Cooper appraised properties for the Federal Housing Administration at a value requested by Steinberg. Steinberg told the Jury that Cooper, 51, 624 Hnllam Erlanger, was paid $200 for each such appraisal. Steinberg was president of the now defunct Ardmore Realty Cincinnati. The Federal Government maintains the arrangement Inflated the prices of at least five Newport homes sold by Steinberg's company with FHA guaranteed loans.

The board voted to create a committee to sift for future changes in the code and to present those that merit consideration to the board GOV. LOUIE B. Nunn, ex-officlo chairman of the board, will name members of the committee later. Meantime, the board's executive committee told the American Association of University Professors it could not reconsider immediately changes it made in the code before the start of school this year. THE ASSOCIATION had asked that the university president, the faculty senate, student government, and the office of student affairs be consulted on whether the changes were wise.

The board's executive committee said it doubted that "a university-wide consensus could be achieved" on points in the student code and added that without one, the board must act as it saw fit. IT POINTED out that hearings were held before adopting the changes and advice was sought from all parts of the university. The changes involved punishment for law offenders, procedure for expulsion of undesirable students, and the handling of such things as student demonstrations. Nunn expressed fear that the committee named to transmit pro Better, 9 lutely minimally staffed just to do those things which are essentials." ONE FACTOR which greatly influences the network's operation is its dependency on each session of the state legislature for Its operating funds. KET's authorized budget for the current fiscal year is $2.4 million, a slight increase over the $2.1 million authorized for fiscal 1968-69.

This makes a total biennial operating budget of $4.5 million. What does Press think it will take from the forthcoming legislative session to enable a more proficient E-TV operation? "WHAT WE would like to do," says Press, "and what we feel we must do in the next blennium, Is to increase our own production of programs that speak for the needs of the state as a whole. This will take considerably more money. "We will be asking for a great deal more than we now have. We have some preliminary figures which show that the least we will need is perhaps a 40-50 Increase Goes Kentucky Educational Television? 'Good, But Could Be Says Director FRANKFORT (Special) Kentucky Educational Television has begun its second year of operation.

Looking over the past year, O. Leonard Press, the executive director of the Kentucky Authority for Educational Television, says that the network is off to a good start. "The most impressive fact of the network's first year of operation," says Press, "has been the enthusiastic response from viewers, viewers who are learners children In school and adults at home and viewers who, consciously at least, are simply enjoying a stimulating new television experience." Press estimates that E-TV is now being used in 85-90 of the state's 195 school districts. WHEN GOV. Louie B.

Nunn pushed the button to put the network on the air September 23, 1968, it was estimated that schools In 72 of the state's school districts were equipped for E-TV which in itself, according to Press, was an Press also says, "Teachers report that they are generally satisfied with the leased tele-lessons. But they look forward to the day when they will no longer be tot-ally dependent on selection from among 'pre-owned' tele-courses made for other students and other teachers In other states." AND JUST HOW does the network go about increasing its own local production? The answer bolls down to a simple five-letter word called MONEY. Regarding the network's financial situation as it begins its second year. Press says, "We re making It. of course.

But we find ourselves particularly short on personnel. "The difficulty initially was in projecting the operating costs for a system of this size for which there was absolutely no precedents except for the precedent in other states, none of which was exactly the same. Now at the beginning of our second year, we realize that we are abso over our present budget that's at a minimum. This will be more or less a continuation budget for us," Press explained. "OUR PRESENT budget is $2.4 million.

It's a little unusual to suggest a 40 increase as a continuation. But the problem goes back to projecting the initial costs and getting the amount which we asked for which we did not. So this is a kind of 'stay-afloat' budget for us." Kentucky Educational Television is the most unique E-TV network in the nation. Designed by Ronald B. Stewart, presently network director of engineering and production, it has no precedents either in scope or dimension.

The possibilities for it seem limitless indeed. NOW THAT the network has completed its first operating year, lt would appear that it should be looking ahead to "wider communications horizons." Press says, "Kentucky's E-TV system provides the commonwealth with a basic electronic system,.
