Color television for Southern California may not be too far off, according to Dr. Willard Geer, asso-ciate professor of physics and color NO. 38 TV authority.
Dr. Geer spoke at a LAS lecture in the art and lecture room of the Doheny Memoriai library yesterday.
The recent CBS acquisition of television station KTSL from the Mutual-Don Lee broadcasting system seems to be an indication that CBS will use its new color-wheel system, approved by the Federal Communications commission, here, he said.
CBS May Be First
CBS owns only two stations in the United States, and these will be the first to start-color telecasting, he continued.
He predicts that the new CBS outlet on channel 2 may mean that color broadcasts will be coming from atop Mt. Lee.
“The CBS picture is good. There is no doubt about it. It shows true colors sensitively and accurately,” Geer said.
To fix sets to receive color broad-
system is that the size of the picture will be no larger than 10 inches unless a special color tube is used. RCA, color TV rival of Columbia, has refused to release its color tube to CBS, Geer said. *
“The approval of the CBS system by the FCC has not entirely shut the door on new systems, tut at present it looks like CBS will start broadcasting very soon,” he said.
Competing Methods Three other methods are still competing with the Columbia color* disc system. They include the RCA method, which sends dots instead of a complete picture as CBS does; Color Television of San Francisco, which sends a line at a time; and the new General Electric system, which sends three signals simultaneously. The GE system was submitted too late for the FCC hearings, he said.
In answer to the question of whether to wait for color TV, Geer said:
“Use good common sense in buying TV as in buying a car. If color I does come, you will have received |

Wear Old Clothes
Flapper day chairman John Klug asks all students to dig up any old clothes they may have from the 1920 to 1930 period and wear them to school on Flapper Day. An attempt is being made to limit costumes to that period rather than just any old clothes.

Milar. who wears an .authentic costume with each number, will be accompanied on the guitar by Miss Millan.
Miss Millan will sing Aztec songs from the pre-Cortez period in Mexico, ceremonial songs of the Mexican Indians, 16th Century Spanish religious songs, and contemporary Mexican, Peruvian, and Cuban folk songs.
Miss Millan is a graduate of the University of Mexico, where she majored in folklore. She lived with Indian tribes throughout Mexico to learn their legends, songs, and traditions. She has published a book of Mexican folk songs.
