Manufacture of Color TV Sets
Banned for the Duration
In the third week of October, Charles
E. Wilson, Director of Defense Mobili-
zation, placed a curb on the manufac-
turing of color television sets, request-
ing that the manufacturers cease manu-
facturing that type during the present
emergency.
At a meeting of the television manu-
facturers which was held in Washing-
ton on October 25th, Mr. Wilson as-
sured those present that his order was
in no way designed to discourage re-
search and development in their field.
No new curbs on materials for black-
and-white television sets were indicated.
Mr. Wilson's request was made of

the Columbia Broadcasting System to
halt the production of color sets until
the scarcity of critical materials would
ease. Columbia, the only concern that
had announced plans to make color sets,
complied and also said it would end
television color broadcasts. Mr. Wilson
said that he was asking only that there
be no mass production of such sets.
In the meantime, construction regu-
lations for radio and television broad-
casting facilities were eased by the gov
ernment. The National Production Au-
thority reclassified radio and television
broadcasting construction from the
commercial category to the "industrial
plant, factory or facilities" group.
Radio and television facility con-
struction may, therefore, go ahead
without government permission if the
required amount of controlled mater-
ials is within 25 tons of steel, 2,000
pounds of copper and copper-base al-
loys and 1.000 pounds of aluminum
per calendar quarter.
Previously, permission was required
if the project required any aluminum,
or more than 2 tons of steel or 200
pounds of copper.
