THE 38—Friday, April 7, 1967 Ex-CBS Chief Challenges the FCC, Urges 'New Order' in Broadcasting In February of 1966, Columbia Broadcasting System decided not to broadcast the Vietnam hear- ings and instead showed a rerun of "I Love Lucy." Thereupon its president. Fred W. Friendly, re- signed. He is now the Ford Foundation television adviser and is Columbia University's Edward R. Murrow Professor of Broadcast Journal- ism. In his challenging book, "Due to Circumstances Beyond Our Control . . . ", just issued by Ran- dom House, he presents his views and some valuable suggestions. He proposes new legislation to provide for safekeeping of broad- casting and other public resources and he accuses the F ederal Communications Commission of "failure to plan and failure to understand the true meaning of television." "The challenge to reorder our food on television ($40,700,000) than it does on educational tele- vision program production, the economics of a new order come hard. Is it unreasonable, that a station which, when originally franchised, was not expected to make much, money and now makes $5,000,000 or $10,000,000 a year, should have its public charter amended because of changing cir- cumstances? Should a license re- ceived originally of little or no outlay become a legacy worth $20,000,000 or 530.000,000 without the people who granted it retain- ing some equity in it?" In spite of government rulings, laid down when broadcasting was in its infancy, intended to protect the public interest. Friendly says that "our society has never really established who owns broadcast- ing's franchises; the argument as to whether they are the public's or the investors' has never been ' settled because we have never delineated a philosophy of broad- , cast law. By default we have per- mitted the investors' equity to control what is basically a public- service industry." television circuits and to estab- lish a Magna Charts of broad- casting is an opportunity that must be exercised now, or per- haps never," he declares. Friendly believes a new order is possible, and he declares: "In a country which spends more than three times as much money advertising cat and dog Volume on Jewish Heroes in WWII Printed in Israel TEL AVIV (JTA)—The second volume of the monumental work, "Facing the Nazi Enemy," com- prising some 550 pages of accounts of Jewish heroes in the Second World War, was published here by the Organization of Nazi Victims.

CHICAGO (JTA) — Despite ob- jections by American Nazi Party leader George Rockwell, the state of Illinois obtained Tuesday a court continuance of three c ha r g e against the Nazi.

Expect $30,000,000 Rise in Exports From Israel JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israeli in- dustry has prospects of increasing exports to the United States by $30,000,000 annually. Zev Sharef, the commerce and industry minis- ter, told the Cabinet Tuesday. Sharef, who recently returned from a visit to the United States and Britain, said that the prospec- tive increased exports were not the "philanthropic kind." He added that businessmen he had talked to who had expressed interest had been both Jews and non-Jews. He also disclosed that one of the "misjudgments" of American importers had been that Israel had been considered hitherto as an exporter only of "soft" mer- chandise, such as textiles. He said that importers and prospec- tive investors he had talked to had been impressed with Israel's ability in the fields of metals, electricity and electronics. He also disclosed that some of the businessmen with whom he had met had already arrived in Israel for further talks and that others would follow. He warned that Israeli industry would have to meet the test of prices, quality and delivery dates to which American importers were accustomed. Mexican Jewry Resents Interference From U. S.

(JTA)—The Westport Board of Education has approved a vacation schedule for the 1967-68 school year which will include New Years and the Day of Atonement as formal school holidays.
