WetL, March 29, 1972 THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR Planning unit favors TV towers proposal By MARTHA ROSE Minneapolis Star Staff Writer The Shoreview Planning Commission Tuesday nicht JL1lTU IS? t0 bull elevision transmitting towers to replace one that col-lapsed last September, killing seven workmen. ProK5.aimade fcy Telefarm, a corporation rVCC9STi and mc" we before the Village Council Monday. In its recommendation, arrived at after a two-hour dis-cussion, the planning commission stipulated that build-ing permits would not be issued until "a detailed quality assurance plan for the towers was submitted to and ap-proved by the village engineer. Issuance of the permits for the towers which would be about 50 feet on either side of the base of the tower that collapsed, would also be contingent on Federal Communications Commission approval. Lawrence F.

Haeg, president of WCCO and Telefarm, said he would like to have the two towers in operation "by October or November." WTCN ChaWi and one FM radio station would be on one. The other would be used by WCCO Channel 4 and KSTP Channel 5 through a device which allows adjacent signals to be broadcast from the same antenna, Haeg said. WCCO-FM and KSTP-FM would also be on the second antenna. He said Telcfarm had decided on "conventional antenna construction" rather than another candelabra tower similar to the one that fell as it neared completion. The candelabra tower was to have supported a triangular platform, 100 feet on each side, with one antenna at each corner.

No report has been released on why the collapse occurred. Of several nearby property owners at the.hearing, Mel Cardinal, 789 W. Gramsie was the only one with a definite Objection. He said he owns three lots between Crystal AV. and Gramsie Rd.

which will be unsellable because the guy wires from one of the towers will come within 75 feet of his property line on the ground and within 25 feet in the air. The planning commission recommendation calls for a 30-foot setback of any guy wires or anchor points from roadways or rights of way, although it was not clear whether the recommendation applied to air space. The twin towers would be about a half-mile west of a tower now serving KMSP Channel 9, KTCA Channel 2, and KTCI Channel 17. The neighboring tower sites are near N. Victoria St.

and County Rd. F. WCCO now is broadcasting from KTCA's old tower at the University of Minnesota golf course. WTCN is broadcasting from the Foshay Tower, and KSTP is broadcasting from its own tower on University Av. Should a woman kiss a perfect stranger if he claims it's for science? Frankly, I hadn't given much thought to this subject until CBS-TV made a big deal of it on the premiere of "The Amateur's Guide to Love," a frivolous daytime panel show which has to to be a "kissin' cousin" Candid Camera." WEIGHTY PROBLEM SETTLED The idea of the program, in CBS' words, is to take "a fresh and funny look at sex, love and marriage." To accomplish this, 1 i hi KTCA-TV, Ch.

MINE KILLS THAI BANGKOK, Thailand (Reuter) One policeman was killed and four were seriously wounded when they stepped on a land mine in northern Thailand, police sources said today. guest celebrities appear incognito in various locations and involve unsuspecting laymen in comedy situations which are recorded by hidden cameras. Once taken in, the laymen are invited to the studio where a panel discusses the matter and votes on which of two possible decisions would be more appropriate in the situations. The hidden cameras struck first at a bookstore. James Darren was there, claiming to be doing research for a book about kissing.

He was carrying a "kissometer" to register his feelings and asked the clerk for a smooch. She complied. Meanwhile, back in the studio host Gene Rayburn posed the question of the century: Should a woman kiss a perfect stranger if he claims it's for science? "Panel," he said dramatically, "lock in your votes." The suspense mounted as Rayburn tallied the votes. "That's two nos and one yes," he said. "Our panel has decided that no is the correct answer." Remember that, girls.

Who says television isn't educational? I SOMETIMES WONDER whether CBS regrets having allowed ABC to lure Harry Reasoner into its fold. Since Reasoner joined ABC a couple of years ago, the network's early-evening newscast has scored dramatic gains in ratings. More important, in my opinion, Reasoner is now being given air time to do a number of delightful specials in conjunction with writer-producer Andrew A. Rooney. The team is hard to beat.

Monday night Reasoner paid a visit to Humboldt, Iowa, a community in which the correspondent spent five years as a boy. with Al Silverman r3 5 THURSDAY, MARCH 30th ONLY 4 P.M. TO P.M. Step Into The Wonderful World of Dancing WCCO. THURSDAY HIGHLIGHTS 9:00 a.m.

QKOO course ONLY "The Spectacle" Ostrander gets census corrected OSTRANDER, Minn. UP) The official population figure for Ostrander has been raised from 216 to 263, the U.S. Census Bureau said Tuesday.

The bureau changed the figure after officials of the Fillmore County village noted the 1970 figure of 216 was the same as the 1960 figure and said they believed there was an error. is here! $fM tllWTED TO flRST SO ADULTS 1 1 aeoraes IN THE PARK e3 IN THE PARK, Reasoner had wondered if "small towns are better to remember than to live in." He concluded after a warm and affectionate portrait of Humboldt that he still believes the community of 4,700 population is "the best small town in the whole world." Humboldt, Reasoner said, is not a swinging town. "Most of the lights are of after 1 1 o'clock." And a crime wave there is "when the police chief catches a kid at a dance with a can of beer." Strangely enough, Reasoner found that on this island of tranquillity in a troubled world, the youngsters with whom he talked seemed to be eager to leave in search of a challenge. "What seems to be missing," he said, "is more a shortcoming of ours than of the small town."
