CBS to begin broadcasts in color television soon
By the Associated Press
The Columbia Broadcasting System expects to begin actual broadcasting of a new system of color television in New York before the end of the year.
Dr. Peter C. Goldmark, CBS director of engineering research and developments, said yesterday in a broadcast talk that the new transmitter will be installed in the spire of the Chrysler Building.
The new ultra-high frequency color television system, Dr. Goldmark declared, also will provide black-and-white pictures “with more than twice as much picture detail as compared with the pre-war system.”
The scientist explained that while CBS does not manufacture commercial television receiving equipment, for use by the public, it has developed two types of receivers in its laboratories for the benefit of manufacturers.
Tokyo to bar jazz, will rebuild theaters
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) – Japan will welcome American occupation forces – but American jazz is a bit too much.
Despite its popularity in pre-war Japan, it will henceforth be supplanted by the music of “wholesome” bands, Domei News Agency said today in a dispatch quoting the newspaper Yomiuri Hochi.
Still, “working people must laugh,” Domei’s broadcast acknowledged – so Tokyo metropolitan police are doing their best to rebuild and reopen movie theaters. Many were destroyed by American bombs.

My, I’m afraid the post-war future of us human beings won’t be half as exciting as that of chickens. Last week, I read that atomic energy would make chickens lay eggs faster. Now, today, I read that clothes can be made out of chicken feathers. The soft part of the feather is used and George has already made a tiny joke about a “down” payment.
Ladies, now we’ll be able to buy suits in hen, spring chicken and bantam sizes with colors from Plymouth Rock to Rhode Island Red. They say the new material will be softer than wool. Goodness knows that I’ll do with my old woolens. Probably the only fair thing is to make little overalls out of them for chickens who might catch their death of cold without feathers. Anyway, now I know why a chicken crosses the road. It’s to get away from all these post-war plans.
