THE COURIERJOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1969 2 Effective Monday Morning Today's Television Programs Channel 15 Changing Call Letters Channel Chuckles I dustry are more difficult to learn than Chinese, and, when one hears one, he take it much in the manner he would had it emanated from Chairman Mao's propaganda factory. The figure Rook quotes however is not out of line for a top personality in a major market such as Chicago. KHJ in Los Angeles reportedly was paying a "top jock" called Don Steele $50,000 base a year two years ago; WOR-FM on Manhattan reportedly was paying $80,000 a year at the same time to a fellow dubbed Sebastian Stone. Now before you get all hett up and want to be a disk jockey, be appraised that such salaries are not the rule across the land.

If there is a radio personality in the Louisville area making $20,000 a year, he is a mystery to the several sources I hounded yesterday trying to get a believable comparison figure. Most everybody asked thought $15,000 was probably close to being top dollar in the Louisville radio market, and not many make that. lliiiilii r5 WAVE-TV WHAS-TV WLKY-TV 3 IT 32 :0 Farm 7:00 Black HaritaM 7:00 Skippy 7: JO Fisbia Funnies 7:30 Mornini Movie 1:00 Go Go Gophen 1:30 Bugs Bunny 9 Super Six RoadRunner Cool McCool Wacky Races Adventures of Gulliver a a a 1 fl "n''on The Archie Show Spidarmen Banana Splits Hour Batman-Superman British Open Golf Banana Splits Hour.

ABC Movie The Big Movie The Lata Show 12:30 A.M. ABC News By JAMES DOUSSARD Courier-Journal staff Writer Come Monday morning, educational television Channel 15 still will be Channel 15, but it won't be WFPK anymore. The new call letters for the Jefferson County School system station will be WKPC, which doesn't stand for anything in particular but will lend itself to the slogan "We're Kentuckiana People's Choice." At least that is the favorite "right now" of the slogans Jerry Weaver; Channel 15's general manager, has conjured. The call letter change, of course, is not being effected simply to enable somebody to come up with a catchy phrase or two even though the one Weaver tossed off while explaining the change was nice. "No," he said, "that's not it.

When the license was transferred from the public library to the county school system in 1967, the agreement included changing the call letters so they wouldn't be confused with the library's FM radio stations, WFPK and WFPL." Of 25 letter combinations that seemed appropriate to Weaver and his staff, only two were found to be available WKPC which trips off the tongue rather nicely, and WKIE, which does not and was rejected. Weaver said the call-letter change involves more than acceding to the request of the former licencees. "We are developing," he said, "a community television system that is a new thing and needs a new image one that our new letters help signify." Channel 15 is building a tower-transmitter complex at Floyds Knobs, that will boost its power vastly on or about Aug. 1.

Miles Park Junior Derby I RACING Live from Miles Park TODAY 5:00 P.M. on Channel 1 1 The Junior Derby Consultants to the Center City Committee yesterday suggested that the city establish a locally financed urban renewal project. The proposed renewal would affect two blocks one bounded by Main, Market, Third and Fourth, and the other by Jefferson, Liberty, Third and Fourth. The block between, bounded by Jefferson and Market, has been set aside as the site of a new convention center.

He said increased tax revenues from hotels, office buildings, retail stores and parking facilities proposed on the site would enable the city to recoup its costs in 15 years. Unlike most urban renewal projects, this program would be financed entirely with city funds, without any type of federal assistance. The committee is undecided on whether redevelopment should begin before or after construction of the convntion center.

Redevelopment plans for the area along Fourth between Liberty and Main were also discussed by Gary Hack, of Victor Gruen Associates, New York planning consultants. Hack said developments in this area would provide a needed link between the "retail core" along Fourth and proposed riverfront developments. The status of the Center City Committee has been clouded by creation of the Jefferson County Development Conference, a county-wide advisory group on redevelopment.

The state Personnel Board yesterday decided to look into a request to extend Merit System cover-age to 22 top-level engineering positions in the Highway Department. The board asked Personnel Commissioner Ralph Howe to have his staff study a request by Highway Commissioner Eugene Goss to extend merit system coverage to assistants to the state highway engineer, assistants to those assistants and division directors. Goss said the 22 positions were not involved in policy making, which is the main criterion for keeping a job outside the merit system law.

Merit system coverage is designed to protect employes from political pressures, and for-bids them from taking part in political activity. Goss said it was difficult to fill some of those top engineering positions because workers were not willing to give up their protected position under the Merit System. Board member Douglas Moseley of Columbia commented that Goss was not trying to "grandfather in" Republican employes, since nearly all the engineers concerned were career employes who have been with the department for 12 to 15 years. Board Chairman Jack Wilkinson suggested the personnel classification section investigate each position individually, after which the board would do the same and possibly interview the engineers involved. 4 ELOSID MONDAY Stereo Music News on Hour midniaht WSAC-FM 105.5 Fort Knox a a Singer Roy Hamilton Is Taken to Hospital MEMPHIS (AP) Recording star Roy Hamilton, who first came into the limelight with a top-selling version of "Ebb Tide," is in critical condition in a New Rochelle, N.Y., hospital, his Memphis studio said yesterday.

President Blood Donations Lag; Reserve Supply Low Collections at the American Red Cross Regional Blood Center, are running about 20 per cent below actual needs for July and August, and reserves are being depleted. A spokesman for the center, 1355 S. Third, said, "We've distributed about 700 more pints than we've taken in the last month." As a result the center had only 54 pints on hand the other day. The center usually tries to collect 250 pints a day to serve 36 Kentucky and Indiana counties. The spokesman said the usual summer slump, caused by vacations and heat, has cut down contributions.

The age ceiling for donors was recently lifted from 60 to 65 by the national Red Cross and the American Association of Blood Banks.

No arrests have been made here or in the other cities, where searches were made July 3. The other cities are Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Newark and Philadelphia. Sworn statements used by the FBI to obtain search warrants in Louisville became a public record when they were filed with the clerk of the U.S. District Court.

On the basis of the affidavits, the FBI was authorized by U.S. Commissioner Glenn Schilling to search for "book-making records and wagering paraphernalia." The FBI affidavits state that there are recordings of some 200 telephone conversations in five days between persons in Miami and persons in Louisville and the other cities. One of the calls to Louisville included information on the fight between Joe Quarry and Joe Frazier as well as the odds on major league baseball pitchers scheduled to start games, the FBI said. FBI agents made gambling searches in Louisville and six other cities last week as a result of legal wiretaps in Miami. In Louisville, they searched Riney's South Seas Bar, 414 W.
