The Lighter Side

{ By DICK WEST WASHINGTON UPI — Th« Btnate Commerc* Committee recently held a series of hearings on a bill to create a “public television corp.” If and when the measure is enacted, and if and when somebody figures out how to finance it, the corporation theoretically will produce high class TV shows Independent of commercial sponsorship. One of the main concerns expressed during the hearings was whether the bill had adequate safeguards to prevent governmental control of the

programs.

This started me to thinking

what it might be like if the government did have its own television network. I have even gone so far as to draw up a daily schedule of the shows we might be seeing. 1 p.m.—“Truth or Credibility Gap” — Spokesmen for the White House, State Department arid Pentagon read statements. A panel of veteran newsmen tries to guess which one represents the administration’s posi-

tion.

2 p.m. — “The Dean Rusk Show”—A telephone Interview program with a new twist Viewers call in and ask the

TV In Review

(By RICK DU BROW) HOLLYWOOD UPI — Educational television’s major new coast-to-coast series, a multihour Sunday night program planned for the fall, has landed Edward P. Morgan, veteran ABC newsman, as its senior correspondent According to the Information released Tuesday, ABC is reported to have agreed that Morgan could take a two-year leave from the network on his five-year contract Apparently the distinguished. Independent-minded commentator will devote his major output to the educational television series. Until now he has been perhaps best known for his radio broadcasts sponsored by the AFLf-dO, and the lack of Influence of the union organization on his opinions as spoken on the air. Tuesday’s information was that the union body was acceding gracefully to Morgan’s separation under the circumstances. However, it Is understood that Morgan, wha seemingly has always preferred radio to television in his day-to-day work, Is also highly interested in the possibility of doing future broadcasts for national educational radio. The planned autumn televirion series is expected to range from two to three hours for most if its programs, and to give the country a practical sample of broadcasting offered on a nationwide basis by a noncommercial, public video ser-

vice.

This, of course, is the year in which President Johnson, after the reports of the Ford Foundation and Carnegie Commission, proposed a public television service, and this suggestion has been followed by congressional hearings as to its structure and financing. The fall series will be journalistically oriented and, as originally conceived, is expected to deal with major events of each week, in any and all fields, as well as relying heavily on the university community, local stations and provocative “outriders” for ideas and content

Notice Is Served By Labor Party LONDON UPI—Britain’s ruling Labor party has served stem notice on its anti-market rebels to vote for British entry Into the European Common Market or risk expulsion from the party. The disciplinary big stick was brandished over the rank-and-file opponents at a meeting of the parliamentary Labor party. The House of Commons scheduled a vote tonight on a govern-ment-sponsored motion endorsing Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s bid to take Britain into the market. While Wilson puffed his pipe on the sidelines, Labor!te Chief Whip John Silkin told party members the government would permit abstentions but would not tolerate an anti-market vote. He said a vote against the government would be considered a "serious offense” against party discipline. Such breaches of discipline in the Labor party normally are punished by expulsion. The threat was expected to go a long way towards quelling a mounting revolt in the party’s ranks against joining. More than 50 backbench members of Parliament have put their names on an amendment to the government’s motion. The amendment opposed Britain joining the market

spades.

This hand occurred in the match between Argentina and the United States In 1961. Strangely enough, the bidding and the opening lead were the same at both tables. The two club bid was artificial and requested South to bid a four-card major suit if he had one. South having denied a major suit by bidding two diamonds, North went to three no-

trump.

When the Argentine South was declarer, he ducked the opening spade lead in dummy, East winning with the queen. East shifted to a club and when declarer finessed the queen, West took the king and led another spade. Again declarer finessed, losing to the king, and

when East agaia returned a club, the ten. lost to the jack. By this time the Argentine declarer had tried four finesses and lost them all West exited with a spade, and even though the diamonds were favorably divided, South wound up with only eight tricks to go down

one.

When the American pair held the North - South cards, they made three no trump. The Argentine East won the spade lead with the queen end also returned a dub. But the American declarer, Peter Leventritt, slot to the danger of allowing West to take the lead for another spade play, went right up with the ace of dubs. He decided it would be better to pin his hopes on bringing home the heart suit. Accordingly, he entered dummy with a diamond and led a low heart When East followed low, Leventritt finessed the eight, losing to the jack. West returned a spade, as expected, but Leventritt spuming the finesse, took the ace, ran hia hearts and diamonds, and wound up with ten tricks as a reward for his cautious play. As a result, the United States team gained 730 points on the

deal.

Leventritt did not permit himself to be caught in the series of crisscross finesses that plagued the Argentine declarer. He placed his faith on the strong probability that the hearts could be run before the defense could establish enough tricks to defeat him.

Apollo Disaster Can't be Blamed on Individual Group

WASHINGTON UPI — Congressional hearings on January’s Apollo disaster have ended on a note of soul-searching that sees “everybody and nobody” in the space program as blameworthy in the fire that killed three astronauts. This was the comment of Chairman Olin E. Teague of the House Space Investigating Subcommittee as it wound up its public hearings Wednesday on the deaths of astronauts Virgil Gus Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee. If the Texas Democrat has his way, the subcommittee will not seek a scapegoat or try to pin culpability in the fire on an individual or group. "We were all to blame,” Teague said after a last round of testimony by top space officials. “I think we all had been lulled into a false sense of security by a previous string of successes.” Teague said the tragedy during a pre-launch test at Cape Kennedy had shaken the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA, space contractors, and everybody concerned with space exploration into a new and healthy respect for the perils involved in sending men to the moon. “Maybe in the long run, the deaths of these three boys will have saved the lives of many, many others,” Teague told reporters. Both House and Senate space committees now have concluded public hearings on the dry-run accident. Their reports may be weeks in the drafting. NASA officials testified that] fire proof materials have been substituted; wiring safeguarded; escape facilitated; andj other changes made in followup Apollo capsules.
