...contrast to the Kefauver hearings, when TIME was the only sponsor, eight advertisers (LIFE, Longines-Wittnauer, Motorola, United Fruit, American Oil Co., Collier's, Newsweek, United Air Lines) took over segments of the MacArthur processional on TV. They got their money's worth: the MacArthur show was TV's biggest & best job to date...
...Quintupling present plane production would mean about 15,000 planes a year, about 5,800 more than one month's production at World War II's peak. Military electronic production is small; quadrupling it will be an easy job for the enormous new electronics industry. (In 1950, Motorola's $175 million output of radio and television sets alone was about equal to the output of the entire radio industry in 1940.) Combat vehicle production is also negligible. At year's end the U.S. had only 1,000 tanks on order, and was producing only a small...
...happy intervals, he bursts from these poses into wild assaults on the earthbound sanity of his viewers. He restlessly roams the stage and studio audience, leaps from piano stool to microphone and back, urgently seizes and spurns his fellow actors, addresses furious asides to his network, his sponsor (Motorola) and other comics.

But President Robert C. Sprague of the Radio-Television Manufacturers Association predicted that the industry would turn out 6,000,000 TV sets this year, 20% more than it had planned...
...glamour of television has kept the industry's stocks well out in front of 1950's bull market. But even bulls were amazed at the scramble to buy TV stocks last week. What started the rush were reports by Admiral Corp. and Motorola Inc. that their first-quarter sales were double and their profits triple the rate for 1949's same period. The stock of Motorola, which reported estimated earnings of $3.50 a share for the first quarter, shot up 8 points in one day's trading to 50⅛. Admiral, with earnings...
