The morale of the 6,600-odd employees of the sprawling broadcasting setup and the strength of the CBC's manage- ment and organization’ are caus- _ ing worry in a number of quar- ' ters, particularly-in Parliament. Revenue Minister Nowlan, the minister who reports to Parlia- mént for the publicly-owned CBC, has spoken of “loose manage ment.” Leaders of the Liberal and CCF parties have stressed the need to prevent ‘further ) deterioration” of onganizational e@tructure and employee morale. . ANNOUNCEMENT SOON During the weekend, the CBC’s executive committee met to deal with the situation in which the corporation has found itself. It, was expected to make an an- gouncement early this week. The CBC has never been in so much hot water so often ‘for a long ting By the very nature of its function the. CBC is much more prone to public criticism —its ‘ radio and television pro- duct is constantly under scrut- iny in the homes of millions of Canadians every day. In presenting 90,000 radio and TV programs a year—60,000 of them CBC-produced—the corpor- ation is nd to stumble on oc- - €asion or ‘tramp on someone's toes. When it does, in a big way, it May find itself sitting in oe ' ment. before’a large segment of its 17.500,000 shareholde.s — the Canadian public which foots one biggest broadcaster and at, the same time the regulatory au- thority over all Canadian broad- casting. . Then the Fowler royal commis- sion on broadcasting recom- mended in 1957 that an independ- ent board take over the OBC's regulatory powers and last year Parliament set up the Board of Broadcast Governors. Parliament. also revised CBC organization, .establishing a new li«man board of directors to re- place the CBC Roard of Gover- nors that formerly had run the CBC and also regulated | all broadcasting. Just before this, Davidson Dun- ton, the steady, strong hand be- hind the CBC’s: development, re- signed as board chairman to be- come president of Carleton Uni- versity in Ottawa. | Alphonse Ouimet, long - time general manager of the CBC, , eral manager.
