HI vewem. like -ww The brave new era of ultra high frequency (UHF) commercial television is scheduled to arrive in the Bay Area next Saturday with the opening ceremonies of KCFT-TV, Channel 42, Concord. (The station was originally scheduled to begin broadcasting last night, but "equipment tuning" caused a week's delay.) Most of us in this area are conditioned to very high frequency (VHF) tvision which accommodates 12 channels, numbers 2 through 13. The UHF band has room for 70 channels, numbers 14 through 83.

The government is encouraging the activation of UHF channels. All new television sets are equipped with UHF receiving devices and the purchaser pays the difference, illynilly. All old sets can be adapted to UHF by installing special tuners or converters OP- iff I GDULP THAT- grams aired by KQED, Channel 9, the big San Francisco educational station KCSM-TV, Channel 14, televises discussion and commentary programs of particular interest to San Mateo County citizens. It has an "Interaction" program and a "Community Agenda" program for the airing of local opinions on controversial matters. It has a California gardening program, a faculty opinion program, a sports review program and a personality interview program conducted by Bob Foster.

Through UHF Channel 14, the resource and intellectual advantages of the college are beginning to spread through the community in a manner never before enjoyed. During the college lull between semesters. Channel 14 is televising BBC-produced classic dramas at the rate of two a night. The schedule for this week is "The Rivals" and "She Stoops to Conquer" "Wuthering Heights" and "School for Scandal" Tuesday 1. "TTib Second Mrs.

Tanqueray" and "Anna Karenina" (Wednesday), "The Ghost Sonata" and "Ghosts" (Thursday) and "The Alchemist" and "The Winter's Tale" 1 Friday 1. The station is young, ambitious, nonprofit and progressing nicely under the guidance of Dr. Jacob H. Wiens, director, and Douglas B. Montgomery, program limillllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIM Sunday's Best Bets Born to Play the Hero if T.

It' A HANDFUL of United States communities, notably Fresno and Bakersfield in California, are serviced exclusively by UHF stations. Network programming comes to them over local UHF facilities. Any new stations there will also televise over UHF channels. Elsewhere, the addition of a UHF spells new competition for existing VHF channels. This is meet and proper, says the Federal Communications Commission.

The FCC hopes that through increased competition there will emerge diversity of programming. It visualizes new and vital entertainment and informational programs that will reward and stimulate the selective viewer And it will come to pass through the establishment of hundreds of new UHF stations. Right? i surely wouldn't know If a L'HF station in Los Angeles televises bullfights and torrid Latin soap operas, it is quite possible that those telecasts stimulate Los Angeles aficionados of bullfights and torrid Latin soap operas. But is this precisely the elevated intellectual level that the FCC hopes to attain through diversity in programming? OUR ONLY EXPERIENCE with UHF programming in the immediate area has been with the College of San Mateo educational channel 14. Its programs are instructional and informative.

It does not duplicate nor even generally repeat pro HE WAS particularly pleased that although "Ten Little Indians" has been filmed and re-filmed, this newest Seven Arts version starring him was selected as the British entry in the Berlin Film Festival. "My work is an important part in my life perhaps the most important." he went on. "I'm a bachelor, no home ties, no wife, no children just my dig-gins' here on a hilltop in Beverly Hills. If I weren't constantly busy on the road, say in 'Guys and on TV and In I'd be a pretty restless human being." But just so be won't become too involved in the shadow versions of Hugh O'Brian, he is quick to accept most of the charity and social contribution duties to come his way. NEW KCFT-TV, Channel 42, is a station of a different nature.

It is in business to make a profit, audiences and sponsors willing. I can't tell you what new things it will televise because I don't see any new things on its schedule. Save lor a daily hour oi news and sports at 6:30 p.m., and another at 10 p.m. it seems to he primarily a station of reruns During weekdays. It has scheduled a movie a night at 8 o'clock.

Earlier ii. the evening it logs old action repeats such as "Bat Mastcrson." "Kamar of the Jungle" and For 11 p.m. viewers, it Is releasing repeats of such hour-length series as "The Saint." "Outer Limits" and "The Human Jungle." Its blockbuster Is a revival of "Play or the Week" each Sunday at p.m. beginning with 'The Power and the Glory" tonight. The station policy seems to stress not where the action is, but where the action v.as It offers mostly a collection of network and syndicated films revisited.

Heerst HMdlino Service HOLLYWOOD The worst thing that ever happened to Hugh O'Brian is that he was born looking like a movie star.

The epitome of the tall, dark and handsome Image of the typical hero. If this blight had not descended on Hugh early in his career, I predict he could today be the American counterpart of Carv Grant. Over a social cocktail, or at a football game, a film premiere, a dinner party, you won't find a more engaging, charming companion, nor a wittier conversationalist. I'M SURE President Johnson will go along with that. On a recent trip to Washington, where Hugh participated In the President's "Salute to Congress" at.

the White House, the President found him so amusing he invited Hugh to stay on for coffee and more conversation after most of the other guests had departed. But put a movie TV camera on him and nine times nut of ten Hugh mil crop up a "Wyatt executing deeds of derring-do like being gored by a water buffalo for a scene in "Ambush or looking mysterious (and handsome) or romantic (and handsome) in his current "Ten Little Indians." 'Don't knock it I don't," said Hugh when I caught him during his home stopover after the completion of "Ten Little Indians" in Europe, and before heading for "Ambush Bay" in Manila.
