Palmer to make a final determination on the appointment of a librarian for the Law Library. The judge made a recommendation that his clerk, Earl Wildermuth be given a $50 a month increase in salary to handle all of the details in the cataloguing and indexing all of the present volumes and to make an accounting of all books taken from the library by the county lawyers.

It's serious enough for W. R. Wilkerson, editor of the movie trade paper, the Hollywood Reporter, to warn theater owners: "Any exhibitor who doesn't move now to get a slice in the big daily cash turnover will find himself sitting on top of a pile of yesterday's show business." But it is not serious enough for TV fans to worry about immediately losing their now free TV programs.

Commercial TV will continue on home screens even if the FCC does rule one or more channels can be used for pay-TV.
