In reflection, my feelings about these weekly 90 -minute presentations are mixed.

Terribly mixed. I am, and have always been, in full accord with the announced aim of the Ford Foundation through its modus operandi, the TV-Radio Workshop. The ultimate goal fought was "to conserve and increase knowledge and enrich our culture through the more effective use of mass media for better use of leisure time for all age groups." As of now. 1 cannot help but reflect upon how successful the Ford Foundation was, or was not, in achieving its goal. Without attempting to analyze any particular "Omnibus" program, let's try to find out how adept Robert Saudek, the director of these programs, was in accomplishing what he get out to do.

for better utilization of leisure time for all age groups" was an end these presentations hoped to attain. Pid they? Please keep in mind that the "Omnibus" programs were of 90 minutes duration. They began at 4:30 and ran until 6 p.m. throughout the Winter season. A very large segment of the viewing public at this time of day, so I'm told, is composed of youngsters and teen-agers, with the emphais on the former.

I don't know what teen-agers ate doing today between 4:30 and fi p.m., hut when I was a teen-ager, you can bet that I wasn't listening to radio at that time, and had we television then, I'll grant that 1 wouldn't have been looking at it. What Did It Offer to Youngsters? Assuming that youngsters, not teen-agers, wer looking at "Omnibus," what would they hav seen that would have "enriched their Actually, "Omnibus" producers slanted a total of five short features in their 26 weeks on the air toward "young children." In othpr words, they devoted an approximate total of 25 minutes of roughly 39 hours on the air to children. These so-called "children" features included "Pimpi-nella." "Mother Goose'' (Ravel's music), "Peter Pan" (selections from Walt Disney film), "The Barn Dance" and "Paul Alone in the World." That's all. Ravel is one of the world's most controversial composers. Some critics call him a great artist.

Others say his music consists of nothing more than rabble-rousing cacophonies. Kid stuff? "The Bar Dance" was a series of pictures of inanimate objects, animated through the medium of trick photography, and portrayed against a background of music that was at certain times harsh, and at others discordant, but very seldom was it harmonious. Hey Junior, did VOl" feel As far as the youngsters are concerned, and the part that "Omnibus'' played in their lives, my case rests. With regard to the statement "for better use of leisure time for all (other) age groups," I've only this to say: I admire the aims of the Ford Foundation. I compliment them on their daring and experimentation, especially in the face of much bitter criticism from certain quarters.

I do not believe they accomplished fully what they set out to do, but I applaud their over -all efforts. I sincerely hope that "Omnibus" is back with ns again next Fall. Programs such as these are more necessary to the healthful growth of television than any of us are capable of realizing at this time. ANNIVERSARY Charles H.
