Well Educated Are Most Receptive To Educational TV Eugene The person' most receptive to educational tele vision is one who is fairly well educated, capable of making up his own mind and of in fluencing others arid has a re spected occupation. . ..... This is the conclusion of a group of University of Oregon investigators who have made their first report in a tnree- year study into the nature and sources of resistance to the use of television for educa tion purposes. The study is an effort to find out why some have not wholeheartedly accepted tele vision, - radio and related media for educational pur poses; why there has not been a more widespread student de mand for these audio-visual aids; 'and why there is not more support and interest shown by the general public to use them for extending edu cational horizons. ; Start Study Since there has been con siderable evidence of the vir tues of the media for educa tional purposes, the investi gators began their study with the belief that a study or. ine negative factors of indiffer ence, resistance and rejection is basic to the problem of ac ceptance and effective utiliza tion. ' .- The investigators have 'con cluded that the person who most readily accepts educa tional television is also , most receptive to other forms of culture and education, men conclusions, however,- are qualified by the necessity for more detailed and analytic studies. The research is under the auspices of the University In stitute of Community stuaies and is , being f lanced by a grant from the U.S. office of education under the National Defense Education act.

Fate of Confessed Killer Foreseen By Psychiatrist Seattle, Wash.-(UPD-A first degree murder charge was to be filed today against an 18-year-old confessed killer whose fate was foreseen by a court psychiatrist two years ago. King County Prosecutor Charles O. Carroll said he planned to file the charge be fore 3 p.m., EST, against Michael A. Olds, who con fessed he shot Mrs. Blossom Braham, 38, a former dancer, in a neighborhood grocery March 28. But M. A. Harmon, chief of the state Bureau of Juvenile Rehabilitation, said: "The boy pulled the trigger, but the whole sordid mess began the moment he was brought into the world. Born Illegitimately That was Dec. 23, 1942. when Michael was born out of wedlock to a 14-year-old Seattle girl. Six months later he was found by juvenile au thorities to be "neglected and undernourished" and was hos pitalized. . From then on he was a problem of the state. He was in and out of 17 foster homes, Sometimes ,he ran away to look for his mother, Laura. He found his mother once when he was 11. They met by , accident on a bus. She promised to meet him, but never did. When he was 16 he ran away to Dayton, Wash., where a 4-year-old boy told him he looked like a tramp. Michael lured the boy into an alley and choked him into uncon sciousness,, . - r . Tried To 'Gas' People Later he admitted stuffing rags into the exhaust pipes of cars "to gas the people." "It Is doubtful that Mike ever will be able to make a better than marginal adjust ment, for he has been dam aged more than the human personality can stand without permanent scarring," report ed Dr. Richard B. Jarvis, the court's consulting psychiatrist, when he was committed later to the state Department of Institutions.'
