Save on Country Time Lemonade Flavor or new Pink Lemonade Flavor Drink Mix GENERAL FOODS CORPORATION FAMES the station in 1963, Kraetzer, who had virtually nothing It's always been said they've done a lousy job." WHYY collected under $75,000 from corporations last year. It collected $102,000 from foundations, but $60,000 of that represents a single grant from the Glenmeade Foundations for a proposal written by Doug Bailey to do a Bicentennial drama depicting the history of Christ Church. The scriptwriter, chosen by Marcus, produced a script so unworkable and historically inaccurate that even Kraetzer recognized he couldn't back his program director and ordered the script totally reworked. You may have noticed the Bicentennial year has passed. A new writer is now at work on something called The Windows of Christ Church, in which folk singer Oscar Brand will sing while pictured through the windows of Christ Church.

ith its dearth of prestigious programming, one would think WHYY would take special pains to nurture the growth and success of its most visible product, Black Perspective on the News. To the contrary, that program has survived despite a bitter running battle between Marcus and the program's coproducers. The battle began in the program's first year when the producers discovered that Marcus was paying them less than half the salary he had written into the budget submitted to PBS. Once the show gained national recognition, the producers, Reginald Bryant, a college professor, and Acel Moore, an Inquirer reporter, wrote Marcus a memo, asking him to discuss a salary increase and what their show's budget should be for its second season. When he didn't answer, they went to see him.

"I thought you were joking," Marcus said. He had already submitted the budget (it was not necessary for them to see it, he told the producers) and gave them a raise of about $50 a week. The producers were insulted and angry words were exchanged. In the end, Bryant and Moore hired an attorney and sued the station for $11,900 each in back pay. The dispute was settled out of court in 1975.

Each producer received an additional $7,000. Since then, Marcus has washed his hands of the show, refusing even to sign vouchers. The problem could very well have remained a professional dispute, except that Marcus, apparently backed by Kraetzer, seemed to escalate it to the point where it has damaged the station's credibility with the Public Broadcasting Service. For a while, Marcus had been making it clear to Bryant that any idea the fertile-minded producer might come up with, even if it were terrific and had full subsidy, did not have a chance at WHYY. So Bryant, after being turned down by Marcus, produced several of his ideas at a local commercial station and has several shows under consideration at WETA, Washington's public station.).
