Despite Its technical sophistication, the system almost went on the rooks last yew when environmentalists pushed the West Orange Bmougli Council into suing the owner of a tower constructed for Blonder Tongue on the Watchung R'rige, claiming it caused "visual pollution." In the past nine months, those problems have been resolved, however, and WBTB has By ROBERT WINOREM Horn Newt UH writer WEST ORANlIK After years of research and nine months of legal hassling the nation's first overthe-air pay television station is scheduled to go on the air here Sept.

1. UBTBTV, a subsidiary of Blonder-Tongue Laboratories of Madison, will begin broadcasts inaiispiciously using a converted two story home for its transmitter plant and studios. But station officials have big plans for the station, confident there is a market for programs not available because of production costs or limited viewer appeal. "When we begin broadcasts Sept. 1.

we'll be doing ordinary commercial broadcasts," said station manager Robert Leach yesterday. "We'll he on from 5 nrt. to 12 midnight seven days a week with films, public service pngramming and live entertainment," "Then leter we haven't set a date yet we'll start the pay programming. We're going to be slanted toward New Jersey because we're going to be the only English speaking commercial station in New Jersey." The optimism expressed by Leach and other company officials is the product of 21 years of clearing both technical and legal hurdles. The Blonder-Tongue system, dubbed BTVision took 20 years to develop, with the final system revolving around the use of a lfiwJ 1as, on tower.

Frelinghuysen, has warned his colleagues in the House that American responsibilities to South Vietnam "simply will not go away by trying not to think about them." The Republican, who represents Somerset County, recently returned from a trip to the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and Vietnam. "A very new and different situation exists there now a situation which is of direct significance to the United States," he said. Increased economic assistance, rather than increased militury aid Frelinghuysen said, is what the South Vietnamese need most from the U.S. at the present time. Frelinghuysen said that while the military position of the country is critical, the South Vietnamese feel they are capable of countering a major offensive if it comes, and the congressman recommended that the U.S.

do nothing to upset the military balance between Saigon and Hanoi. Frelinghuysen, the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that the South Vietnamese economy, however, "has been steadily deteriorating since 1971." "What is necessary," he said, "is an adequate, short-term infusion of economic assistance to help the people of South Viet-1 nam pass through this present period of transition toward self-sufficiency."

In 1973 inflation reached a staggering B8 per cent, he said, and the oil crisis now is pushing defense costs still higher. Agricultural development, he said, is expected to be retared by the lack of fertilizer stemming from the oil shortage. Frelinghuysen, who i not seeking re-election to the House this fall, said he understood the feelings of many congressmen who are disillusioned with past American pfTnrts to help the Vietnamese.
