DECISION Planners Say 'Green Light" Needed Before Incorporation The future of public and instructional television in Kansas City is being questioned again by several members of the Kansas City Board of Education Two long-time critics of non commercial television Henry Poindexter and Mrs James A Reed yesterday were joined by a board newcomer Eugene Browning in questioning staff recommendations regarding the television station which operates channel 19 Dr Donald Hair acting superintendent of schools and Glenn Travis his administrative assistant asked the board to ap- prove the following: Declare its intention to cease operating the TV station at such time as a public corporation comes into existence and is able to assume responsibility Support public television during the 1970-71 year at half the level it is supporting it that is $31000 instead of $62000 Declare its continued interest in instructional television Instructional television consists of lessons telecast during the school day for use in classrooms throughout the district Public television consists of noncommercial programs usually shown in the late afternoon and night hours They range from Sesame Street for preschool children to dramas concerts and documentaries for adults Poindexter urged the school board to delay action on television until after the June 23 levy election Charging that the efforts by persons to create a non-profit corporation to operate the station has produced negative Poindexter particularly criticized the efforts of Dr Carleton Scofield chancellor emeritus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr Scofield is chairman of the effort to launch the non-profit group not against television if it ran be salvaged in some manner and taken out of our Poindexter said I seen any proposals that ring clear Scofield came in here and told us nothing He is just pushing his failure to do anything back on Mrs Reed added the school board had been waiting three years for Dr Scofield to act Browning said he was prepared to vote against all the staff recommendations "I see why we should run a television station for some other corporation to pick it Browning said Mrs Gertrude Keith and Mrs Stephen Hadley two other board members said they believed the position of the planners for the nonprofit corporation had been misstated by their colleagues They pointed out that the other group appeared ready to incorporate but wanted a green light from the school district Part of the difficulty at the meeting was that members were quoting their version of what the corporation backers Dr Scofield and Homer Wadsworth a former school board member said in a secret session with the board Wadsworth said today that he wrote the Rev Charles Briscoe board president February 27 pointing out why his group needed a statement of intention on television He asked for a meeting Two months later the meeting was granted but it was an executive sessioni with the board 1 Both Wadsworth and Dr Sco-field would have preferred to 1 discuss public business in pub-i lie Plea for an Answer Wadsworth said he pointed out the incorporation papers had been drawn up for months and the incorporators chosen but the group needed a declaration from the school board to proceed makes no sense to incorporate if the school board plans to continue to operate the television Wadsworth said must have its Dr Scofield and Wadsworth also asked the school board to continue funding public television until the new corporation has attracted adequate funding to launch operation Dr Scofield who was out of town today first entered the pic-j ture about years ago when I the board authorized him to survey educational television stations throughout the country Dr Scofield reported to the i board last winter that the school system was running an underfinanced operation attempting to provide both public and instructional television on less than 1 $300000 a year when successful stations had annual budgets of up to 5 million dollars After a heated fight last summer the old school board agreed to continue funding public television this year to give a non-profit group time to incorporate and raise funds to take over the sta- tion The school board accepted $10000 from the corporation for Public Broadcasting this year to promote and expand its public television services and last month authorized application for a larger grant for next year a Bert Hurn attorney said a complaint charging Mrs Weaver with the illegal possession of two sawed-off shotguns would be filed today in the federal district court
