But "Tiger," a liuaky by Eve Starr TELETORIAL: We're too materialistic. Here we have the new miracle- medium of television already at high level of efficiency. But what are the networics doing with their wonderful toy to aid humanity? Comparatively little. Why, for instance, is almost nothing done in the line of visual education? The reason, realistically but un-admirably, is that the venture would be unprofitable to its baclcers.

Recently, it was disclosed that motion pictures shown in India were providing the fastest approach to overcoming Illiteracy. Although global TV is in the distant future, thinlc what a proper approach to constructive visual education programs on TV could do for the illiterates in this country. Many who find it hard to learn from textbooks could learn faster by exposure to a regular TV education series. Visual education, it was York, ed during the recent war. wasj TV offers the most effective form of instruction among the GIs.

The results were astounding, and many schools since then have broadened their educational the program to include visual teach-jdous. ing. There are those who argue that the average viewer won't accept visual TV all he wants is entertainment. This can easily be overcome by allotting certain networks or channels to visual education, so that the home: viewer has his choice of education or entertainment. It is the service to mankind that is most Important.

It Is a chance for TV moguls to contribute something worthwhile "beyond the call of duty." As for the profit motive, the networks and agencies should be able to dream up an angle. It's their specialty. TV needs good writers, and good writers need TV. Recall the days when a new medium, movies, was sneered at by novelists and playwrights because of the low salaries and the artificial nature of the medium. Live shows at higher pay kept many writers from "going Hollywood," but before long the movie men were paying more than the best Broadway playwright could command.

The same Is happening In TV. Today, few playwrights or scenarists will write for the new medium. True, the salary scale is not good, in comparison, but it is improving. One factor luring playwrights to TV is the mounting cost of the average Broadway production, close to $80,000 (minimum) at present. This is a stumbling i block for any playwright who' hopes to see his brain child in a writer national recognition early in the game.i while the field is still uncrowded.

Later on TV will be a frenzied and new talent, and critics ought to judge it on this basis. If other producers with new ideas for TV shows consider what has happened to Bigelow and the show from a critic's viewpoint they may be discouraged from trying anything new. And TV badly needs new faces and new Ideas. It will never get them If pioneers In this efifort, like Bigelow. are soundly thumped in print by the critics.

SKETCHBOOK: The and Mrs. shows on TV are popular because they reflect family life, and TV is a family function. Stu Erwin and June Collyer, in their popular ABC show. "Trouble With Father," manage to catch and project much of the humor that exists just beneath the trials and tribulations of the average family. That's because they know from experience just the right thing to do.

Hoagy Carmichael's "Saturday Night Revue," which replaced NBC's "Show of Shows" for the summer, has been roundly panned by most critics. Joe Bigelow, the NBC executive responsible for the replacement, has been criticized no end. mo.st everyone taking vacations go all right.

He had maintained all along that the show wasn't in- ai tended to be bigtlme, merely a summer replacement. Not that this meant no effort would be made to come up with a good show. But the talent, mostly newcomers, aren't up to providing a top-flight show. They are their talent and, as with newcomers in any line, some are good, some bad. the theater.

The television public and industry alike will be watching with Intense Interest RCA's color system telecasts on the that progress has been satisfactory.

As noted here before, the average viewers will not have color for some time to come. But the color telecasts on NBC this winter will pave the way for full- scale color shows. "Your Show of Shows," "Texaco Star Theater," and one or two other top NBC programs will take part In the color tests. The national audience can view these telecasts on their black- and-white sets; a limited audience using RCA color sets will view them in color. This audience will be largely persons active in color TV promotion and RCA and executives.

TELETORIAL: It is gratifying to note In a Washington dispatch that commercial interests in movements to establish educational TV are cooperating with the pioneer group in this National Citizens Committee for Education TV. This group, a Ford Foundation "fledgling," is soliciting the aid of farm, business, labor and other groups In raising funds for educational stations. To date, many surprise contributions have resulted, such as $50,000 cash and studios and transmitters from WOAI and KEYL in San Antonio, and $182,000 in equipment from 1 KING-TV In Seattle. Many commercial broadcasters and prominent business men whose firms are sponsors of TV shows are behind the efforts of the committee, such as E. Ryerson, board chairman of Inland Steel Co.

Several organizations- have made pledges amounting to more than $8,000,000. The next educational outlet will be the University of Southern California's KUSC-TV, using the funds of the Hancock Foundation, which feels, in the words of its founder, Capt. Allan Hancock, that "educational programs will stimulate understanding and action that will be for the greatest benefit of mankind." Bigelow looks upon this show as a testing ground for new network next December. these Bill Cullen is One of Busiest Men in Radio, TV By MARK BARRON jaLso "I've Got a Secret" over the NEW YORK of the same network.
