CBS color TV standards delayed by industry response
On March 18, 1947 the Commission denied the CBS petition and urged more testing in color. A 1950 report said it would delay approving color transmission standards unless sets could receive CBS and black and white signals. Most manufacturers replying in thirty days said they could not or would not redesign. They cited engineering and manufacturing hurdles and warned of a mid-1951 production change-over delay.

Policemen Exploit Pension Rule In New York Graft Probe
The Baltimore Sun reports a New York case where a police officer shot himself after a grand jury probe into ties between police and gamblers. Four teen officers retired claiming pension rights, with three retirements following grand jury summonses. New York law allows self incrimination immunity to forfeit pensions, enabling officers to resign to claim pensions then refuse to testify, hindering the case. District Attorney Miles F MacDonald and GOP mayoral hopeful Edward Corsi urge legal change to close this loophole.
