THE GUARDIAN Thursday October 20 1960 SPLENDOUR AT THE OPERA Royal visitors see La Sonnambula The Royal Opera House in Covent BBC WANTS A SECOND TV PROGRAMME Ready to start colour, too By our own Reporter Today! For the informed British Reader Garden was the scene of dazzling splendour last night when the King and Queen of Nepal, with the' Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the Royal Family, attended a special performance of Bellini's La Sonnambula." The streets outside the ODera house were thick with people who had waited Case against contraction SHIPYARD CHIEF ANSWERS CRITICS By our Newcastle Correspondent Recent suggestions that the shipbuilding industry in this country too big and should be reduced in size were disputed yesterday by Mi E. J. Hunter, chairman of Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd. He said at the launch of the Border Castle, built for the Lowland Tanks: Company at the Burns Neptune Yarg, Walker, that it was true the present world shipbuilding capacity Was roughly twice that required' to. maintain the merchant fleets at their present level.

g- "It is, however quite wrong to argoe from this that the British capacity shouM be reduced by half or at all," he added. A few facts clearly show that this is SO and that the present size of the Jndustfy in this country is no greater than is necessary to keep British shipping at the 19 million tons which it comprises today. The 'average economic 'life of a ship is 20 years and it' follows that the average output from British yards must be in toe region of one million tons a year for tUSs purpose alone. "The industry's present capacity is about 1.5 million tons a year, and consequently, to maintain the present British merchant fleet in being requires two-thirds of its capacity, without taking into account the building of ships for the Navy, on which one-fifth of the industry's workpeople are "It we are to continue to build for foreign as well as British owners there is in tne rain to cneer the royal party.

Householders with combined licences rose from 9,255,423 to 10,469,753, while those with licences for sound only fell from 5,480,991 to 4,535,258. Audiences for sound now tend to be bigger in the daytime than in the evening when television exerts its strong counter-attraption. Evening viewers are divided about equally between BBC and ITV, each with an average audience of roughly five million.

Overtaken by China The most disquieting part of the report is about external broadcasting, where the BBC has now been pushed out of third place in the world stakes by Communist China. Ever expanding, the Soviet Union is in the lead with 984 hours on the air in 45 languages every week. The Soviet satellites (including Eastern Germany but not Yugoslavia) broadcast for 1,094 hours weekly in 24 languages.

The Voice of America after a decline has again expanded, and now puts out 620 hours a week. Then comes China with a sensational advance from 40 hours a week 10 years ago to 525 hours now with an additional 100 hours to Formosa. While these enormous strides have been made, the BBC's own output has virtually stood still, advancing a little in one direction but retreating in another.

"World trade fluctuates in relation to world economic forces and trends, and with it the demand for ships, so that with their average demand of one million tons each year the maximum and minimum demand will vary greatly from this figure. Whereas in some years an output of 750,000 tons will be too others 1.5 million tons may well be too little.

As well as providing a genuine choice of alternatives it wants to increase the number of serious cultural and informational programmes," serve the regions better, extend educational oroadcasts, and be more experimental. In setting out these advantages of a second servicei the report (HMSO, 9s) for 1959-60 discusses the future of the still uncommitted channels in Band III. it considers that these would be better used in strengthening the coverage of existing services rattier than in providing a new one. However, if the Government does decide to use these channels for an additional service the BBC (with pardonable egotism) wants it to be a BBC service.

Arguing that a move into Bands IV and is an essential condition for a change in television standards, the corporation announces its readiness to' start a new service in these bands given the necessary frequencies and finance. It offers colour, too, "when the time comes." There has been a lot of exaggeration, the report indicates, about what a second programme would cost the viewer. The suggestion that the BBC would have to raise the combined licence fee to 10 or thereabouts is described as very wide of the mark." A full development of the corporation's services in sound and television including the new service in Bands IV and and colour as well, would bring the combined licence fee, it is claimed, to about 5. On the first page of the report there is the complaint that some highly desirable projects have been slowed down or postponed because of the Treasury's retention of 5 per cent of the present licence revenue, and the corporation is naturally delighted that next year it is to be allowed the full use of its revenue for broadcasting. Colour receivers The report recalls that the Television Advisory Committee has recommended that a decision on the introduction of colour should follow a decision on line standards, and that colour receivers are not yet available at a sufficiently low price to command an adequate market.

"Nevertheless, if the Government so decided, the BBC would be ready to start a service of colour television in bands 1 or III, taking advantage of the experience it has already acquired and of the large number of experimental transmissions it has made in colour, using the present 405-line standard. The studios at the new television centre have been designed so as to be suitable for the introduction of colour at any time." In its review of the year, the BBC calls for amendment of the Representation of the People Act. The report recalls the Corporation's innovations at the time of the last general election, and says there is reason to believe that the BBC's contribution could have been made even more effective but for the inhibitions deriving from the act. It submits that experience gained during the last eleven years suggests that this restriction on broadcasting should now be given a freedom not less than that enjoyed by the press. Caution on violence On the subject of violence in television programmes the report treads delicately, saying that the corporation has always been sensitive to the problem, that American-made telefilms offered for British showing have too flank.

In meeting it the BBC has printed every weekday morning in Paris simultaneously with The New York Times in New York lir-delivered the same morning to London and other leading European cities bringing readers the world-famous news report of "America's most distinguished newspaper." How this is done This feat of simultaneous publication an ocean apart is made possible by Teletypesetter electronic typesetting. A tape is perforated in New York, 'its pattern sent instantaneously by cable to Paris, re-perforated there to activate typesetting machines. This is the first practical and continuous operation of this kind on two continents separated by 3,000 miles of ocean.

A great British editor once praised The New York Times as "America's most distinguished newspaper." But it has, grown since then in scope and achievement. Today it is truly an international newspaper, recognized everywhere as one of the great newspapers of the world. And today you may enjoy this unique newspaper at the very same hour your friends and business associates in the U.S. enjoy it. Who will become President We should like you to read The New York Times, of course.

We believe earnestly that you will find it most rewarding. But we make no pretence that The New York Times take the place of whatever other newspaper you now read. That would be foolish. Britain has many good newspapers, as you know, and as we know, too, because we read them right along with you. But we should like to suggest that whatever else you read, here is a different kind of international daily newspaper you should also be reading.

This is an especially good time to begin. This year's presidential campaign in the U.S. is one of the most exciting in years. Its outcome will have great significance for everyone. And in The New York Times.

Holland England's narrow defeat by a Dutch team lacking Euwe was disappointing but our preponderance of improving young players makes it likely that we shall not have to wait long before we begin a run of wins against Holland.

On the whole the Dutch had the lucky breaks in his normal form, Milner-Barry would have scored li points instead of none from his middle game positions, while Penrose, Alexander, and Mardle all missed clear chances. Littlewood's two brilliancies were the highlight of the match. Orbaan's timid defence made him a natural victim, but Littlewood's combinative talent is so marked that one would like to see him in a master tournament. It is to be hoped that there will be a vacancy for him or Mardle (who was also a success at Flushing) in the next Hastings Premier. White: J.

Now the same authors, two London primary schoolmasters, have produced a sequel called The Chess Apprentice (Collins, pp. 208, 12s 6d) which stives a clear and readable survey of combinations, simple strategy, openings and endings, and chess notation enough to bring the keen reader into his school team.
