- Description:
- In this WRDW-TV newsfilm clip of an interview with Augusta mayor Millard A. Beckum (probably in his office), an unidentified reporter asks the mayor how he feels about the city being included in a closed-circuit telecast along with cities like New York. The mayor responds that he is very pleased about the publicity this brings to Augusta, and that they are lucky that the Eisenhowers plan to be in the city and will participate. The reporter then asks what type of people will be viewing the show and how will it help Augusta and the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area). Mr. Beckum responds that the normal price for a ticket to this type of program is $100.00 per plate, so the participants will be big businesses and industrialists.
