SC Professor Appointed
Word of the appointment of Dr. Carl Q. Christol, professor of political science at the University of Southern California, by the American Bar Association to serve on a committee on International Law in the Courts of the United States, was received by the Summer News.

Cellist to Perform
Joseph Schuster, cellist, former soloist with the New York Philharmonic who is presently living in Beverly Hills, will appear in two free public all-Beethoven concerts at the University of Southern California Sunday, July 20, and Tuesday, July 29. Both concerts will be in Hancock auditorium at 8:30 p.m.
Schuster has been acclaimed in Europe, North and South America as a master of the cello in whose hands it becomes an. instrument with a soul.
Schuster was born in Constantinople of Russian parents. A child prodigy, he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music at the age of ten. After the Russian revolution his family took him to Berlin where he continued his musical studies. On graduation he was assigned the post of solo cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic under Furtwangler. He remained there until 1934 when he came to New York.
His New York debut was a sensation and he was immediately invited to become solo cellist of the New York Philharmonic. He held this post several seasons, appearing under such conductors as Toscanini, Walter, Mitropoulos and Rodzinski. Schuster then made nationwide appearances in recital and as soloist with major orchestras. He has made concert tours of South America each year and played in the major cities of the European continent and in Scandinavia.
TV Sales Boomed by Convenvion
Television appetites, young anjl old, Republican, Democrat and Independent alike, were whetted by Coverage of the Republican National convention in Chicago, a survey taken in Hollywood Monday and Tuesday revealed.
The convention has proven to be the greatest impetus for television set sales in Los Angeles Since the televising of Gen Mac-Art bur’s return to the United States in 1951. Dealers report sales are up 40-50% over a comparable period in 1951, with June sales running more than 25,000 units, giving the Los Angeles signal area a July 1 total of
1,275.000	sets.
Hollywood’s largest TV rental firm bought extra sets in anticipation of the demand but still ran short. The firm’s order clerk stated that “this convention will kill all of us. I wish we’d close up shop until after the convention.” Most orders, outside of home owners, came from doctors offices and restaurants, she indicated. Most of the calls from the public were from elderly persons.
One rental firm did not even answer its telephone because it had no more sets to offer and no more patience to relate this information to the callers.
The Ambassador hotel reported all of its 350 rental sets in operation in the guests rooms, with a-long waiting list for sets as they become available.
The city’s largest retailer of nationally advert ised brands, stated July sales 500% greatcd in 1952 than in 1951.
A Hollywood retail store and the city’s largest independent service organization with more than
10,000	service contracts, increased and augmented its repair and installation crew to meet the un-precendented demand.
“Everyone wants to be sure his set is in tip-top shape for Uie con-
vention,” a spokesman stated. “We’ve installed sets in ‘out ol normal’ reception areas, such as Santa Paula and Carpenteria, as the people there are as interested in watching the conventions as we are,” he said.
Every one of the 48 television sets at Rancho Los Amigos (near Downey) was turned to the convention proceedings.
“There is a tremendous interest in the television coverage of the convention among our 2450 patients, Director Robert Thomas said. “Only two or three of our very young polio patients insisted on watching the regular children’* •hows,” he added.
The California Institute for Men in Chino, a state honor prison for 1500 men, is the only correctional.institution in this area that allows inmates to watch television. Its three sets are constantly turned to the convention, the warden’s office said.
A check of a number of neighborhood tavern owners revealed an increase in business, with most of the patrons’ eyes watching the convention doings on the taverns' television sets.
Even grocery store managers found the televising of the convention had changed their business, with snack items and cold meats selling in increased amounts.
