By THOMAS P. WHITNEY
The Soviet Union is busy build-'
ing television stations - but it
has-a longway to go to catch up
with the United States.
The Soviet government claims
that at present there are 27 TV
stations operating in the U.S.S.R.
However, included in this figure
are certain amateur stations -and
several rebroadcasting stations
which merely 'relay Moscow pro-
grams, without originating any of
their own, to areas near the Soviet
Capital but too far away for di-.
rect reception.
(This compares to nearly 450
TV stations operating .in the
United States as long ago as No-
vember, 1955)
Plans 75 Stations
The Soviet government plans, it
has been officially stated, to have
in' operation "more than 75" tele-
vision stations by the end of 1960.
Nine stations which will origin-
ate their own programs are under
construction at the present time
for completion by the end of 1957.
Another six rebroadcasting sta-
tions near Moscow and Leningrad
are being built - also set for com-
pletion before the end of 1957.
And in addition five more TV.
stations are presently under con-
struction for completion sometime
after 1957.
The, grand total of stations built
and building would thus apparent-
ly add up to 47.
It has been stated officially that
by the end of 1964 the population
of areas of the Soviet Union in
which television broadcasts can be
received will amount to 30 million
people.
This figure is much larger' than

the size of the population in areas
where TV broadcasts currently
can be received.,
System' Poor
The Soviet television system
makes a' poor showing when
stacked up against that of the
United States. '
In the first place not only is
the number of Soviet stations rel-
atively few but the number of tele-.
vision receiving sets in Soviet
homes is also small.
At the end of 1955 in the entire
U.S.S.R. there were 820,000 TV
sets. By now the figure has risen
--but is probably below two mil-
lion.
In the United States by the end
of 1956 there were an estimated 42
million sets.
In the second place, in the So-
viet Union transcontinental trans-
mission of'TV programs is practi-
cally non-existent.
Even according to the plans for
1960 only a little more than a doz-
en stations will be able to receive
Moscow programs by microwave
relay and of these only a few will
be able to send their programs to
Moscow.

In contrast, in the United States
nearly all existing TV stations are
linked in transcontinental net-
works.
Programs Few
In W the third place, Soviet TV
stations carry fcw programs. For
example the station in Tiflis in
Georgia only recently increased
the number of evenings per week
which it is on the air from three
to four.
Most Soviet TV stations have
few or no daytime programs and
even their evening broadcasts are
limited to a few hours a day.
Soviet color TV has not yet got
started. Only by the end of 1958,
is it expected that compatible col-
or and black and white broad-
casts will be made on an experi-
mental basis.
TV is popular in the Soviet, Un-
ion and the government sees in it
a powerful propaganda weapon
for indoctrinating the populace in
communist' ideology,
Therefore it can be expected
that the Kremlin will make a big
effort to push the developient of
television.
