Greenvile Piedmont, Greenville, South Carolina Monday, January 27, 1958 [[COLUMN 1]] [[First Article discussing subliminal messages in media]] hl Shots [[missing word]]will employ special transmitting equipment that will flash an image or a message across the screen. It will be on and off so fast that the home viewer won't consciously know he's seen anything. But, if it works, the flash will leave an impression in his mind. Lew Arnold, KTLA's general manager, said the gimmick will be used at first only for public service messages. He elaborated: "We'll flash on something like 'Join the Army' or 'Give to the March of Dimes.' "The next step would be to promote our own shows. Then—and I have a feeling this is a long way off — we might go into the commercial end of it." Would it be fair, Arnold was asked, to subject people to subtle mental stimuli that would send them flying off to the drugstore for toothpaste they didn't need? "Gee, I don't know," he said. But he added that the Federal Communications Commission is going to study the new device and "if they say we can't use it, naturally we won't." Arnold said his station won't spring the thing on its viewers without giving them a chance to duck. "Before we put it on," he said, "we'll say: 'We've about to transmit a subliminal message.'" At this point, presumably, the young chap with no inclinations toward Army life would head for the cellar. ___________________________ The U. S.

NATION'S WEATHER By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Snow and rain continued to bring dismal winter weather to a vast portion of the nation today and about the only thing absent from the weather map was a cold wave. The Northeastern quarter of the country had snow in an area stretching from the Dakotas and the upper and mid Mississippi Valley eastward through the Great Lates and northern Ohio Valley. As the storm moved eastward, snow and rain were reported in the southern edge of the Ohio Valley. To the east of this snow section, there was rain and drizzle with snow in higher elevations of New England.
