Back Stairs: Commercial Sponsorship
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI While House Reporter
Washington-flJPD-Back stairs
at the White House: ,
There's one -wonderful as
pect of the Kennedy adminis
tration. Most anyone can par
ticipate in it. Or try to.
. Witness the- thousands of
letters that poured into Wash
ington from the general pub
lic, telling how President Ken
nedy's . news conferences
should be conducted. This was
after the conferences first ap
peared on live television, and
the public got its initial view
of reporters having the temer
ity to ask the Chief Execu
tive questions. . '
Now there's another flap
producing much mail and
heated controversy'. It has to
do with the President's ap
pearance last week in a tele
vision documentary. NBC's
"J.F.K. No. 2" which was
sponsored commercially by a
toothpaste.
Public Less Disturbed . .
With no attempt at a scien
tific survey, but judging from
the mail and comments in the
newspapers,, the public seems
less disturbed by the commer
cial aspects of Kennedy's ap
pearance than some promi
nent Washingtonians, includ
ing members of Congress and
the cabinet: '" ' ' ' ' . '
What some of Kennedy's
dignified and would-be pro
tectors might not know is that
the President, himself, knew
full well before, he. taped the
hour-lone show; Lnuch of it
at his office desk,, that' it
would appear on . the . air un-
Average Governor -Is
49-Years-Old
Chicago - (UPD - The.average
age of state governors is 49.
The average governor is mar
ried and has . two or more
children, according to the
Council of State Governments.
The Council's survey noted
that almost two-thirds of the
50 governors were born in the
state they now govern, that
32 are attorneys, and that
other occupations i n c 1 u d e
farming, banking, teaching
and publishing. Almost all
the governors are church
members and more than half
of them' served in World War
II. '
TO INCREASE AID
Washington - (UPD - The Uni
ted States has announced it
is establishing a military ad
visory group in Laos and in
creasing arms aid to the royal
Lao forces,
Salem -. (UPD - Firemen in
Oregon have won- a 56-hour
work week in the Oregon
House. The bill passed 32-25
and went to the Senate. Their
present minimum is 72 hours
a week
der commercial sponsorship.
- And' it Is equally true that
when the President decided to
use : television as one of his
primary avenues of communi
cation with . the public, he
was thoroughly aware that
American- television depends
on commercial sponsors for
existence just as newspapers
and magazines are supported
by printed advertising. : 1 -
No Share of Money ;
On the recent TV outing,
the President .derived no
share of the sponsor's money,
Commercial sponsorship of
TV shows built around the
chief executive probably will
continue, too. It gives him a
chance to - reach the public
during the highly expensive,
so-called prime hours between
8 and 11 p.m. These are the
hours when television makes
its big money and only when
the White House formerly re
quests time for a presidential
speech of top importance do
the networks present unspon-
sored shows during this prime
period.
Currently j there doesn't
seem to be much of a question
about sponsoring , the , presi'
dential news conferences. The
networks present these as a
public service and much
more often than not,, at an
hour that does not compete
with or blot out a top-rated
and '. lucrative i commercial
show.

No Pattern of
Common Trouble
Said in Evidence
Washington - (UPD - The Air
Force is disturbed by the
rising accident rate of its B52
intercontinental bombers but
officials said that so far they
had found no pattern of com
mon trouble.
The giant lets, mainstay of
America's nuclear retaliatory
forces, have had more acci
dents and crew fatalities in
the past three months than in
all I960.
In the recent traeic - acci
dent in New Mexico, the B52
was. an innocent victim of an
errant sidewinder missile re
leased in some manner Mil
unexplained from an F100 jet
fighter. The two planes were
involved in a practice com
bat mission. Three of the
B52's eight crew members
were reported dead. . i.
Members said the Senate
Preparedness sub committee
have asked the Air Force for
a full report on the incident
to be made available to all
members of the parent Senate
Armed Services committee.
The Preparedness subcommit
tee would be the panel to con
duct a follow-up inquiry If
any is necessary.
Stark Warning '
. Chairman John C. Stennls
(D-Miss.) of the Preparedness
subcommittee, said the acci
dent is a "stark warning that
we simply must.be on the
alert for such mishaps." He
said the incident illustrates
how "missile war could be
sparked by accident, miscal
culation or surprise."
In four previous maior ac
cidents since mid-January in
aerial . refueling and other
training exercises, 14 B52
crewmen have died.
Last year, when it had the
highest safety mark among
Air Force -aircraft, the B52
had four major accidents and
suffered eight crew fatalities.
One 'accident was on takeoff
and another on the ground
All this year's have been in
in flight.
A major' accident is one
in which the plane is de
stroyed or has to have a ma
jor component, such as land
ing gear or wing section, re
placed. Common Caul , Sought
One of the first objectives
of safety investigators is to
learn whether in Bj series of
accidents there is some com-i
mon cause indicating a basic
problem in 'the airplane in
volved. . ' i .
The, Strategic Air Com
mand told a UPI reporter
such did not appear to be
the situation with the B52.
The Command has "imme
with the B52 crashes and has
stepped up "every investiga
tive and supervisory action
to determine if there are any
common factors inherent in
all of these."
"To date this does not ap
pear to be the case," SAC
said.
findings will be sent through'
out the Command immedi
ately for the benefit of main
tenance and flight personnel.
Where necessary, there will
be training changes. ,
The B52's major accident
rate last, year was 1.5 per
100,000 flying' hours, com-
