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.”

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.
