Geo. Peabody TV Awards Given Today NEW YORK (API The American Broadcasting production of Truman Capote's story, "A Christmas 1 was honored today with a George Foster Peabody Award' as one of the "very finest TVj hours of 1966" in the entertain- i ment field. Cited in the field of broadcast news were Harry Reasoner of the Columbia Broadcasting System, honored for his television essays, and Edwin Newman of the National Broadcasting who received the Radio News Award for his commentaries. The 27th annual awards were presented by Dean John E. Drewry of the University of Georgia's Henry W.

Miss Shfnder, a spinster who contends unmarried persons should not be taxed more than married ones, disguised herself as an Indian (b'ke her Boston predecessors), boarded a boat, and said to about a dozen like, minded spinsters: "When I give the signal, you dump the boxes in the bay.

But wait until the camera gets you." She meant the television and news cameras, for which the whole thing was performed. Just then a booming voice from the pier at Fisherman's Wharf asked, "What to the hell do you think you're doing?" The voice came from a port official who advised Miss Shinder there was a $500 fine for dumping refuse in San Francisco Bay. Fishermen answered her appeal and fished the bobbing boxes from the water. The Coast Guard boarded her boat for a "routine check" and cited its master for failing to have a bell aboard and failing to have a certificate of numbers, the sea-going equivalent of driving without a license.

What it thinks it has found is a small but reliable antenna system for military uses. But inventions for the military often end up making an even bigger splash in the civilian market place. The Air Force said Wednesday the SIA Subminiature Integrated Antenna concept "was considered impossible by most' antenna authorities three years ago." But a scientist in Munich, Germany, Dr.

Hans H. Meinke, has proved its feasibility, the statement said. Meinke has ben working under contract for the Avionics Laboratory of the Air Force Systems Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Edwin M. Turner, a scientist at the laboratory, held out the promise of a nation of uncluttered rooftops.
