None of the FCCommissioners was invited to the demonstration, explained Board Chairman David Sarnoff, because RCA is currently engaged in litigation with FCC. Though well satisfied with the success of the demonstration, RCA was not yet ready to estimate the costs of its new tricolor tube receivers. Said Executive Vice President C. B. Jolliffe: "We do not pretend that RCA color is perfect . . . The great virtue of this all-electronic system is that it offers opportunity for continuing improvements. It does not have the limitations inherent in incompatible [i.e., CBS] systems...
Like Nick Barone himself, fight fans were reconsidering Ezzard's virtues last week. They included a poised defense that turned aside with glove or shoulder most of Barone's punches, a flickering left jab which, though it packed no knockout drops, did a thorough job of dulling his opponent's reflexes, and a stout right smash that put Barone away in round eleven. At 29, Ezzard Charles had a polished boxing style that was not Joe Louis', but was still mighty effective in its own way. It might be a long time before the fans...
Every quarter-century since 1850, the owners of the Portland Oregonian (circ. 219,442) have marked the anniversary of its founding with long histories of the paper and nostalgic backward looks at the growth of the Northwest.

Though generally Republican from the days of Lincoln, the Oregonian has never stuck to a straight party line, has fought for such Democratic measures as federal aid to education, opposed such things as the Brannan Plan...
Holler & Spurt. There was plenty of evidence last week that such a tightening could not come too soon. Despite FRB's credit pinching, bank loans kept right on rising to new alltime highs. And even though builders had hollered at Regulation X (TIME, Oct. 23), housing starts in 1951 might well be higher than FRB intended. Furthermore, the auto dealers were using old figures when they talked of slumping sales. With a threatened cut in auto output, car sales have recently spurted upward again. Nevertheless, FRB thought that tougher credit controls might check inflation-if given a chance...
