CRIBBENS LONDON CP Officially television is 40 years old this year but its inventor began tin kering with the medium 23 years earlier The anniversary currently being observed by the British Broadcasting Corporation is that of the inauguration of the worlds first regular public ser vice of highdefinition TV programming That happened Nov 1936 with an opening ceremony performed by the postmastergeneral But said Robert Longman the BBCS chief TV engineer Prof John Logic Baird was ex perimenting with 30line tele vision in London as early as 1923 and made experimental transmissions from private studio near Covent Garden few years later The BBC took over the pro duction side of these trans missions in 1932 and became directly involved in program origination Longman said in letter to The Radio Times Four experimental programs were carried weekly and in 1935 government committee de cided the time had come to launch highdefinition ser vice But it could not decide whether to use the Baird system or newly developed electronic system working on 4051ines BAIRD SYSTEM DROPPED They duly recommended that the two stems should be run side by si in competition As result the loline trans missions were dropped in the summer of 1935 Longman said demonstra tion at the British Radio Show in August 1936 proved success ful and the regular service be gan two months later Regular broadcasts were made from highpowered transmitter at Alexandra Pal ace in north London and contin ued until the outbreak of the Second World War in Septem ber 1939 The transmitterth an ef fective rangc of some 25 miles in all directions and is still re garded with some pride and affection as the start of the BBC Television Service Film approval is questioned JOHANNESBURG Reutcr Connie Mulder South Africas minister of the in terior has asked the Publica tions Appeal Board to recon sider its approval of the transvestite musical film The Rocky Horror Picture Show The film has been packing movie houses in South Africa since it was approved by the board last November LOS ANGELES AP Warner Brothers says The Ex orcist now is the third greatest moneymaking film ever made The company said today that revenue from the film has reached $785 million surpass ing The Sound of Musicat $784 million The two top grossers are Jaws and The Godfather All you ever wanted to know bout the Greek shipowners By IAN VORRES No account has ever sur passed Homers epic Odyssey in immortalizing the seafaring abilities of the Greeks and their de ndence on the much disput Aegean Sea Four thousand years of tu multuous history have elapsed with hardly any changes The same Greek dependence on the Aegean isles for commerce in peace and defence in war the same national dedication to the sea as major source of wealth and power emerge clearly in new survey of Greek maritime history The Greeks And The Sea by Andreas Lemos Col lier Macmillan Canada Ltd 232 pages $1595 Mr Lemos doyen among Greek shipowners and mem ber of one of Greeces leading shippin families has been as socia with Greek shipping for more than 60 years He also is closely linked with the spectacular growth of Greek tonnage after the Second World War The Greekowned merchant navy attained first place in the world in 1967 with 2864 ships totalling 377 million tons Because of the authors offi cial position as honorary presi dent of the Union of Greek Ship owners and his obvious alle giance to his shipping col leagues he is reluctant to shed full light on the incredible ma chinations and commercial manipulations that have made Greek shipowners among the wealthiest and most powerful individuals on earth Many dealings of the Golden Greeks make fascinating reading even though some of them have justly been dubbed the Maritime Mafia IIOW IT BEGAN The story of how one of the greatest Greek shipping for tunes was first established dur ing the Spanish Civil War in the late 19305 is still remembered in Athens relatively unknown skipper obtained small bank loan with which to purchase an old freighter ready to be scrapped and some useless discarded Greek army ammunition If Mr Lemos were so ob viously not trying to whitewash Greek shipowners his efforts to justify their actions would have been more plausible Compared with their cnor mous fortunes stacked away in Swiss banks the average shipowncr really invests little in Greeceunless it is to build luxurious island retreats and villas or to entertain lavishly aboard their sumptuous yachts mostly built in foreign shipyards Even those naval institutions that the author proudly points out were built by shipping fam ilies in Greece were primarily established to serve the inter ests of Greek shipowners who desperately rcquircd bcttcr educational standards among their Greek crews SEAFARING GENIUS Interest in the book is not cn ianccd by the many repetitions of facts and events nor by rather prosaic stylc Some of the most interesting sections of the book are those After insuring frcightcr and freight at an astronomical price he sold the ammunition to the hardpressed Spanish Itc publicans who paid in advance in Swiss bank The skippcrfor sub 737051 STROUD touE sins stantial fee of coursethen proceeded to inform Gen Fran cos Nationalists of the date of sailing and the exact route the ship would follow After the freighter was sunk by the Nationalists the owner collected the enormous insur ance fee as well BRITISH RIVALS Mr Lemos doesnt dwell on the seedier side of Greek ship ping He much prefers to present his colleagues as hard working idealists who are wag ing Homeric battle against slander and unfair competition especially on the part of the British who see their maritime supremacy endangered by the Greek upstarts At one point only does the au thor admit vaguely that under the pressure of circumstances some Greek shipowners re sorted to activities suggestive of fraud That fraudulent activities were more widespread than Mr Lemos wants to admit is suggested when he further reveals that Greek Shipping Cooperation Committee was founded in London in 1937 to protect the interests and reputation of Greek shipping Greek owners who in the past had neglected their obligations would henceforth be an swerable to the Committee for their behavior The author also admits that the Committee had to cope with the rising flood of malingering deserting smuggling and lot of other evils among Greek crews HUGE LOSSES The imposition by British un derwriters of an extra premium on cargos carried on Greek ships and the generally hostile attitude of world capital to the Greek flag are simply dis missed by the author as being due to bias incompatible with the sporting spirit of the Brit ish That the scandalously high percentage of Greek vessels lost inexplicably through ship wreck might bc justifiable reason for such action the author refuses to discuss BRIEFS MAlillll nlilf Itclitcrr ltccord

various types of ships developed by the Greeks throughout the ages and which more than any of their owners actions bear proof of seafaring genius ironically enough despite the authors obvious patriotism the main villain to emerge is the Greek State Through suc cessive governments lacking coherent maritime policy it has failed to protect the in terests of shipowners and their crews forcing them thus to seek promotion under flags of convenience Ultimately the real heroes of Greek shipping who emerge are not the shipowners but the rough neglected Greek crews who like Homeric supermen struggling against incredible odds succeeded in securing for Greece commercial suprem acy over the seven oceans Mr Vorres is Canadian autlior and journalist living in Athens Thomson News Service Two
