"A TV BLACKOUT TO SE HOME LIFE By SHERWOOD DICKERMAN LONDON, Reuters British authorities are prepared to save Britons from too much television by blanking out all video screens for daily rest periods next year. Seven hours of programs a day, with a strategically, spotted evening break to get the kids to bed, are provided for in the plan drawn up by the nation's two rival TV networks. The aim of the plan is to cushion the shock of competitive TV's entrance into sedate British home life assuring a television lull while the housewife prepares breakfast and the. schoolboy gets his homework done. To Begin Next Winter The plan will go into effect next winter after the Independent Television authority, newly- lormcd under government auspices, goes into operation in competition with the state-run British Broadcasting Corporation, which now has a monopoly of British television and radio.

Both networks are under the close control of the British government which has kept a wary eye on television from the beginning and is determined to prevent what it considers are abuses of the system in the United Slates. The principal blackout period -will be from 6 to 7 in the evening giving parents a chance to get small children away from TV screens and into bed and preventing too much video competition with older children's school homework. Affect? Adults. Too. Adults are due to feel the effects, too.

A nation-wide closedown of all programs at 11 p. m. will keep TV from disrupting the nation's early-lo-bed habits. Housewives, moreover, won't have to worry about competing with TV for their families' attention at breakfast time. No program will begin before 9 a.

m. weekdays and only occasional church services will be televised before 2 p. m. Sunday. On the debit side, televised announcements of soccer results, for which millions of Britons wait eagerly every Saturday, will have to be postponed from their usual 7 p.

May 15, 1955 Part 3- TV TV PLAYHOUSE TAKES VIEWERS TO OUTER SPACE But Patchwork Satire Falls Short BY JOHN FINK A really entertaining fantasy is perhaps as good a way as any to take a look at where the world is go ing. Television Kltclur'l Playhouse ot WNBQ brought a of to' TV last Sunday. It was called Visit to a Small Planet and starred Cyril Ritchard, who plaved Capt. Hook in NBC TV's Peter Pan and has been a guest on the Mr. Peepers show.

Unfortunately Author Gore Vidal whose novels invariably are described as "brilliant was content in this play to throw together a patchwork of Cyril, scientific buffoonery, and satiric comment, and neither he nor Ritchard came off very well. The fantasy concerned an inhabitant of another solar system who comes lo earth in a flying saucer, lands in a TV commentator's back yard, and by means of superior powers takes over the earth for his own amusement and ours, in the delightful first act. MIND REAPER: Kreton, the visitor, is an amiable but passionless dictator who reads the minds of men and black cats. Where I come from," he says, we neither love nor hate. Wc merely have hobbies." His hob' by is the earth.

No one knows of the visitor's existence except the commentator's family, the military high a the White House, and the world council." Cloaked in this dubious anonymity, Kreton proceeds to put together the elements of a refllly delicious war. Secretly, you all want one," he says. War is the one thing your little race does well." Man, in the 20th century, he explains, is a savage in the initial stages of civilization, and wars will continue until he reaches maturity in perhaps 2,000 years because violence is the eaithman's deepest pleasure. The harshness of this indictment is mitigated somewhat when we discover that the super-human Kreton is actually an irresponsible child among his. own kind and lias escaped from a nursery out in space.

But this very situation is galling to men, for Kreton, among all his outer world brethren, is the only one with the slightest interest in the backward planet, earth. NEAR MISS: Ritchard's portrayal of the debonair and charming visitor was especially vivid in contrast to the stereotyped tent show characters he found himself among. But Vidal's script forced Kreton to linger too long on mechanical illustrations of hii great powers anil restatements of his philosofy. Completely lacking was any basis for dramatic conflict, for the characters were powerless to act against him. His downfall neccsrarily was caused by a compatriot from space.

The war he had intended to provoke never came off, and neither did the- satire. if Vidal meant the earth people to learn from this experience, we got little evidence of it. At the end of the play the clock was turned back, they forgot the visitor, and the promise of the play dwindled. The single note of hope was sounded in the most unlikely spot in the character of the general, played by Alan heed.

While everyone else frets and groans at the visitor's plot, it is he who goes out to pray. Perhaps Author Vidal feels that tho military alone needs to atone for the 20th century's record of anxiety and war.

If, on the other hand, he was saying that we all should atone, his message was scrambled. It is a pity that we could not, like Kreton the visitor, read Vidal's mind.
