Show fkl.Phillipr TELEVISION NEWSPAPERS General Electric published a newspaper by television the other day. Fifty editors saw the demonstration. dem-onstration. None rushed out and sold his paper, but all agreed the stunt had bewildering possibilities. For one thing, for the first time in history newspaper men may have to be well dressed and handsome. The test of the city editor of the future may not be whether he has a great nose for news but whether he has the right eyes for screening. And a telegraph editor may be unable to get a job unless he has a winning personality. If the television newspaper is perfected per-fected a bulb may become as important im-portant as a managing editor and a little knob on a radio set may replace re-place the pressroom. Whether you get your paper may depend on radio reception rather than on the newsboy. news-boy. General Electrio gave the demonstration dem-onstration in cooperation with the Albany Times Union. The printed pages came hurtling through the ozone so clearly you would have thought Sinatra was publisher. Cartoons, columns, classified ads and department store ads came out of the atmosphere, with real live models in the cloak and suit ads. Anybody present could see the possibilities; pos-sibilities; beer ads with real suds, fuel ads showing real lumps of coal and delicatessen store ads showing just how the clerk uses a razor to slice meat for those sandwiches. . Television ads will bring right into your home the goat which that fellow has been trying to sell for $16 all these years. And when you see the leftmy-bed-and-board personals per-sonals you will see the actual bed. When there is a murder mystery you will see a reporter enacting the crime and the editor's stenographer posing as the victim, if she has the right personality for murder cases. However, we are not scared by the threat of a television press. Not many people who listen to the radio can read anyhow. And nothing can destroy the average American's determination de-termination to sit over in a quiet corner and read his newspapers. Well, maybe they're not reading, but it's an established way of avoiding conversation. BUTCH' O'HARE ("Butch's lights went out, and then he was gone."
