Godspeed, Mrs. Burkhart, and your pantyhose platoons. By RICHARD K. SHULL "Don't turn anything down, but be realistic. We can't get $350,000 and $5 donations.

We need the donors with $12 more," Ardith "General" Burkhart told her shock troops. 7 With every leadership stunt in the book, she is marshal lng her forces for a do-or-die effort to put Indianapolis on the educational television map. "We're here," she told her field generals and captains- upwards to 200 of them in a meeting yesterday in the City-County Building Auditorium, "because men couldn't get the job done. The men have been batting this thing around since 1951 and it's about time for them to give up." So with her own reputation as a doer and the vanity of all Indianapolis femininity on the line, she has set Sunday, Close Up :00 rcpeya (C) Hamt Droppers Comer Pf1e Dark Shadows 4:15 (0 USMC(C) (0 30 Mik Douglas Early Show (C) Bewitched (C) :45 (CR ''Crick 1b lOO fiiniiiones (C) Worid" I lots Ucf :30 Myfavorile ir Martian 1 -j; :00 Dick Van Dyke HewI Hews (O Reynolds-Smith 6:15 (C) :30 Wagon Train Hunlley-Brlnkley Oilligan :45 (C) Island (C) 0 News (C) Walter f-Troop(C) 7it5 i Crotiklla (C) :30 To Tell The World Ws Kee flaw (C) Nanny And Thi :45 Truth (C) Uve In 0 Professor (C) Truth Or (on- Eddie's father 8:15 sequences (C) :30 What's My Beverly Room 222 (C) US tineKC) j- Hillbillies (0 David Froii (() Highlights Of Medical (enter Johnny (ash 9:15 Tha Ice (C) (O 30 (apades 1970(C) Then (ame Hawaii Engelberi Bronion (C) Five 0 (C) Humperdlnck News (C) :45 i00 Perry Mason News (C) Hewi(C) NewslO 11:33 Tonight Show Merv Griffin Dick (jvett (C) :45 (O (0 Uta Hagen and Martin Balsam last night starred in a close-up character study of the futility of those who would attempt to live their lives through others. The original play by Robert Crean, titled "The Day Before Sunday," was delivered on the prestigious "CBS Playhouse" series.

It was a showcase for Miss Hagen as a spinster career girl being poached upon by her relatives. The play had good contemporary values, since nearly everyone knows a family slave who lives to serve relatives. play was a bit puny on plot, and the supporting roles had a tendency to be one-dimensional little more than road markers along Miss Hagen's path. her characterization was just great. And Balsam enhanced her performance immeasurably as a casual ac-, quaintance who attempted to joggle her out of her lonely life.

Marcn 1, as toe day for an all-out, block-by- JTf block, door-by-door assault on the massive "How much protection do we promise witnesses testifying against the Mafia, gentlemen? Does this mean more millions for guns, planes, tanks?" MIL apathy and rampant lassitude which has made Indianapolis the nation's largest city without benefit of a non-commercial television station. She expects to have upwards to 6,000 women on the bricks March 1 in a saturation campaign to raise the third of a million dollars to get Channel 20 on the air here. Failure of her campaign probably would mean loss of a $154,000 grant earmarked for SHULL'S MAILBAG Shull TELEVISION AND RADIO HIGHLIGHTS THURSDAY TV PROGRAMS PHI (C) Ctter I L.A. csiTi A praaaF Nabors I think Jim Nabors is wonderful.

I (0 Indianapolis by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and possibly even loss of the channel allocation for this area by the Federal Communications Commission. But Mrs.

Burkhart doesn't think in terms of failure. She already has announced her victory luncheon for March 16 in the ballroom of the uncompleted Hilton Hotel. When her volunteers spread out over Indianapolis and the surrounding counties on March 1, they won't be rattling tincups. They want firm commitments in one of five categories for support of the non-commercial venture. A dollar a month $12 will buy a minimum membership.

For $2 a month, a donor can be a sustaining member. For $5 per month, a sponsoring member. Ten dollars a month will buy a patron's title and $1,000, a life membership. As a status symbol, the patron members and life members probably will see their names in print. As she told her forces, if they can't get the big commitment, don't reject a small cash donation, it's still better than a kick ta the head.

"But girls," she told them, "resist cash. We want pledges over a year's time." As a refinement to the fine art of fund drives, Mrs. Burkhart has added an Innovation charge card checkoff. Contributors need only give their Master Charge or Bank American! charge account number to the solicitor and the local banks will do the rest, billing the contribution on a quarterly basis through the charge account. So what does the contributor to the project receive for his or her money that the non-contributors can't also get by dialing Channel 20 on their UHF tuner when the station goes on the air? "Satisfaction," Mrs.

Burkhart promised. And as a bonus, they'll also receive the station's monthly printed program guide. Mrs. Burkhart became Interested in the project last December when she found the male backers wringing their hands and nonplused over how to extract $350,000 from Indianapolis to get the project started. "I said, 'For Heaven's sake, women can raise So here I am." The biggest stumbling block to Mrs.

1 Burkhart and her 'army will be a lack of knowledge of the people on just what Channel 20 is all about. The mere label of "educational" and the threat that it's uplifting is enough to strike terror in the hearts of most television fans. It's not that way at all. It's non-commercial television, which means it is delivered without benefit of important messages on suppositories and underarm decontaminants. It isn't classroom or instructional i TV.
