...colorcasts which CBS expects to launch next month will require a fairly heavy financial outlay from any of the 8,000,000 U.S. set owners who want the images to appear on their screens. To receive color telecasts even in black & white, set owners must spend $30-$50 for an adapter. When plugged into the set, the shoebox-shaped adapter (about the size of a midget radio) reduces the number of "scanned" lines on each screen from the 525 used for ordinary telecasts to the 405 lines required by the CBS system.

Even with bigger defense appropriations, it looked as if the Treasury's cash outlay would not exceed $44 billion...
...military, which was already getting a pre-Korea $13.5 billion in the omnibus appropriations bill, had to have another $11.6 billion immediately for more planes, ships and men, said Congressman Mahon. The House Appropriations Committee, for which he spoke, had already approved the outlay. In addition, the committee had approved another $4 billion for the Mutual Defense Assistance Program to Europe, plus other million-dollar odds & ends for such things as the Voice of America ($77 million). The whole bill in prospect totaled another $16.7 billion...
