Weekend who are masters of the smooth

We hope that win or lose, your stay
here will be both pleasant and profitable.

There are many unsung teams on the
campus. They work hard in their parti
cular field or sport and receive little or
no reward. Part of our job is to find these
tearn^, learn what they are trying to do
and What they have done, and give credit
where credit is dub. Unfortunately our
staff isn’t large enough to do as good a
job as we want to do. More often than we
like to admit, we fail to commend a team
which deserves recognition and praise

Technicolor Film Cases and Anti-Tnist Axes
it-
:
Wielding an anti-trust ax the Justice
Department last week cracked wide open
the Technicolor stronsjbox of closed color
filming policies. jj-
Heretofore, Technicolor, Incorporated
has held a whip handle over movie-makers
..heads. Holding 152 patents together with
J its processing and filming skill and know
how, Technicolor has been d^alirfg with
movie companies on its (Technicolor’s)
own terms. If* » \ -
All processing and printing, as well
the shooting of Technicolor films hah beep,
exclusively ebb trolled by the one company,
Technicolor', Incorporated. Time magazine
reports that Technicolor services have t
hdded as much as 25’f on box office tick-
" ets.
! j 1 V • J f ...
At. one time (until 1948) Technicolor
and Eastman Kodak had a deal whereby
Technicolor would get all of Eastman’s
three-color-film. Because of their mondply |. discoveries while
position Technicolor failed to expand their to the movie imius
facilities to meet business demands. Two
, and u half years ago tho Justice Dcpart-
mont filed an antitrust suit against Tech-
lU'color'charging that It maintained “high,
arbitrary and noncompetitive prices’’ and
hail retarded the development of color
photography. Some ^Studios have had to
wait up to six months for' Technicolor
films to be printed.
Last week, Techmp»>lor agreed to make
its process, skilJpoMtncw-how, and 152
patents availableUo others. Technicolor
Will no longer require producers to buy all
any one,
mises to
eras for
of its 25 services ini brder to get
of them. And the company pre
make at least two Technicolor cebi
rental with no strings attached. ;
The Technicolor company hap demon
strated a human tendency—to grasp all
that it possibly ca a I and to ke^p others
from sharing in thej take. Thip may be
partially justif ied by the clairn that Tech
nicolor’s research apd inventive gjenius has
discovered these new processes and tech
niques and thp company should rightful
ly profit from their discoveries.
MOnoply in any! fbrm is bad
it be in business, or governmenl , or phil
osophy. Rather thah encouraging enter
prise, monopoly stifles it, and
sick at heart.

PEPPY ENTHUSIAST
Editor, The Hallalion:
I should like to know why you
so frequently write unflattering
editorials about State Represen
tative Poppy Hloiint. Could it be
because he is a | former football
star and ulutnnui{i of Texas Uni
versity? If so, these attucks show
n lack of sportsmanship and oast a
Jind reflection on A&M’s famous
Aggie Spirit. If they have been
written because jnf personal dis
likes, they are still further out of
place in your editorial columns.
I am not acquainted with Rep
resentative Bloujnt; however, I
have heard many fine tilings about
him—most of them from ex-Ag-
\gics. But 1 write to you not be
cause I wish to 4ave Mr. Blount’s
reputation. I only hope that you
might be persuaded to discontinue
your back-biting editorial policies.
Yours very truly,
MYs. Walter McMahan
Houston, Texas
P.S. In case you are wondering,
I am not an alurrjnis of Texas Uni
versity and have no love for the
teasippers. |

(Austin, Tpx., Feb. ft—Rep.
Peppy Blount 1 today offered a
resolution to the state legisla
ture which would in effect ban
Ingrid Bergman's latest film
“Stromboli" from Texas movie
theaters. The ban was request
ed “not because of what will be
shown in the picture, but be
cause of the immoral incident it'
attempts to glorify, condone, and
glamorize at the expense of and
detriment to, and degenration
of our younger impressionable
- society.”
(In our opinion, any man who
can offer three such idiotic and
senseless resolutions as the
above in an 18 day period auto
matically opens himself to ab
solutely justificable criticism
from any and every source. Per
haps some of all of them were
offered in the spirit of “good,
clean fun.” Our! contention is
that Peppy should confine' his
“good, clean fun” to a more,
suitable place.
