PAGE 40 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- TV SCENE Thursday Radio Inside Hassle Shadoivs Hopes For Educational Channel 20 The Thanksgiving Visitor strong objection of Channel 4 owner Sarkes Tarzian and Lafayette station Channel 18 who have carried the fight to the FCC. Tarzian's ire is not hard to fathom. It was he who made the first generous offer of support for an educational outlet, based on a somewhat similar situation moving his tower from 25 miles south of Indianapolis to "tower row." By JULIA INMAN WITH THANKSGIVING here again, it looks like all the birds won't be on the table.

Is Channel 20, the city's blueprinted educational or public television station, becoming a turkey? Application for the station which would give the city excellent drama, cultural fare and even Julia Child's French Chef, was filed with Federal THE FCC turned him down cold after Channel 8 and 13 objected. It is obvious therefore that Tarzian is saying to Channel 8, if I can't move my tower because you blocked me I'm going to see that you can't move yours, regardless of whether Indianapolis gets an educaional station a larger goal or not. And he can say it with justification, Channel 18 obviously is worried about the tower move because it is a CBS network affiliate and therefore a competitor of Channel 8.

Communications Commission last summer. It promptly bogged down in an inside hassle among local station owners and may never become unsnarled in time to get the station on the air and to get matching Federal funds for its support. As it stands now, in a situation as fraught with intrigue as a Borgia court. Channels 8 and 13 have offered to provide six-figure aid in money and equipment for the station. Channel 6 which has stayed out of the melee also is quietly supporting the proposed outlet.

THE JOKER is Channel 8 manager Robert McConnell's plan to hook the educational channel on his brand spanking new tower which he wants to build northwest of town alongside Channels 6 and 13 towers. VVISH-TV's planned tower move from southeast to northwest has roused the UNCLE RAY: A reader named Jess Carver wrote: "We have learned that the true stars are (faraway) suns. They are made of glowing gases, and are not solid. If a star became cool enough to jump on, would you go through it, or would something stop you?" Something would stop you. It is hard to suppose that the fiery gases could become "cool enough" for a human being to live in their midst.

After such cooling, the gases would condense, and the star would lose much of its size. WE ARE SUPPOSING, however, that a miracle could make the gases stay in the same condition after cooling. In that case, you might jump into the gases of the cool star and go downward for a thousand miles or more. That falling might be fun for a while, but the pleasure would end. Astronomers calculate that gravity works on the gases of the sun and stars, making them more and more dense until the extra-heavy central "core" is reached.

The core of a living star is hot beyond all human experience. Going back to the supposed cool star which failed to turn solid. Even so, the central Gases Are By THANKSGIVING THURSDAY, NOV. to 6 I8's home area. Meanwhile, poor little Chan nel 20's fate hangs in the bal ance as the FCC hears argu ments and counterarguments from both camps while time runs out.

THE TIME element looms large because decision will be made shortly after the first of the year on what states will receive Department of Health, Education and Velfare match ing funds. With a new administration coming into office, insiders believe it will be some time before as much money is available for public television as now has been allocated. To thicken the plot, Evans-villc is working on an educational channel with no complications and if that city can get a go-aheau signal from the FCC, it may well receive Indiana's HEW share of funds, leaving Indianapolis out in the cold. So you see, it's high time local stations resolved their private differences for the public good and came up with a solution for Channel 20 that would resolve the hangups. Before it's too late.

DOWN STATION ROW: WXLW's former mainstay Art Roberts has left radio for awhile and taken a job with an advertising agency in Mun- cie. He plans to move his family there in January.
