TV: News and Other Things
Basically, television
news coverage.
First is the bulletin an interruption of a
program to bring a concise announcement of a
major news break.
Second is the regular news show usually
in la or 30 minute format.
Third is the documentary when some story
is studied in detail.
And fourth is the direct broadcast of an
event such as the magnificent coverage given
the flights of the American astronauts from Cape
Canaveral.
rpHE LATTER two, because they are less lim
ited in time, and can have been prepared
for well in advance, pose in some ways less of
a production and editing problem than do the
regular "roundup" type news broadcasts.
The news shows, however, do present for
midable problems.
For instance, the actual word content of a
15-niinute news broadcast is roughly similar to
the content of three columns of newspaper news ;
a 30-minute show roughly comparable to six
columns of printed news.
Trying to condense a full 24 hours of news
developments into such a time slot takes expert
editing and expert presentation. When it is well
done, as it usually is by the major networks, the
results are excellent.
IT IS EXCELLENT, that is, if the objective is
to give the viewer a necessarily brief,
necessarily condensed overview of the happen
ings of the day, sacrificing much of the detail
and background which
derstanding of a complex story.
Thus television cannot compete with a daily
newspaper m thoroughness of daily coverage,
just as a daily newspaper cannot compete witn
a weekly news magazine in presenting news with
perspective and balance.
All news men, whether reporters or editors,
and whether working in
or the printed media, face similar problems of
space and time. There are always deadlines to
be met, and just so much news space (or time)
to be filled.
WHAT ALL newsmen
nlas akvavs attain
and comprehensiveness.
being human, reporters sometimes tail, bo
do editors and announcers.
But those who are worth their salt always
keep striving to achieve these ideals, not only
as a matter of professional pride, but, even more
basic, as a matter of survival.
All are faced with the problem of believabil-
ity. If too many people,
reiuse to believe what they read or near as news,
then the news medium
newspaper or magazine is failing in its func
tion. DELIEVABILITY in a newspaper must be
achieved over a period of time. If readers
come to know that, most of the time, the paper's
staff is reporting the news as it happens, and as
honestly and accurately as possible, believabil-
lty is achieved.
It is a little different
reporter or announcer.
ality of the man as a fellow human being, his
manner of speech and appearance, rather than
what he says, that creates
ity.
Television has the added advantage that, lor
some stories, the viewer can "see for himself"
what is happening, and
porter's word for it. This, naturally, is a big
factor in belicvability. And it is one which has
had a salutary effect on some reporters far print
ed news media.
A LL THESE matters, and many others, were
given thorough discussion last week at a
two-day symposium in Portland on the subject,
"Television: Its Role in the Democratic Process."
The concensus appeared to be that, as a re
cent entry in tne communications iieui, and a
vastly important one, television does indeed have
a major role to play in the democratic process,
but no on is quite sure, just yet, of its scope.
Some of the questions were: "How effec
tively docs television provide the information
and informed opinion essential for wise de
cisions by the individual viewer on matters of
public policy? What is the relationship of tele
vision to social issues and conflicts? What is the
relationship of of television to political action
which results from public concern with rocial
issues? What is the relationship and responsi
bility of television to domestic politcs?"
THERE are no hard an fast answers to any
of these questions. But they arc important
questions, and deserve thought.
For example, it is a certainty that the fa
mous TV debates between Richard Nixon and
John Kennedy in the 11)60 election had some
effect on the outcome of the election. But no
one knows, for certain, just how much of an
effect, or just how the outcome of the election
was influenced.
Television has such a vast potential that it

No Santa Claus
To the Editor: Referring to
your editorial of Oct. 3 on the
subject of juvenile delinquency
and its possible causes, also my
letter on the same subject which
was published on the 4th, here
is another point of discussion re
lating to the matter worth con
sideration: There is no delinquency among
Chinese youngsters who have
been taught the ethics of Con
fucious. Also, the Japanese nev
er strike a child and sparing the
rod docs not spoil him.
Confucious was a Chinese phil
osopher whose entire teaching
was practical and ethical rather
than religious. He held that
proper outward acts based on
the five virtues of kindness, up
rightness, docorum, wisdom and
faithfulness comprise the whole
duty of man. Reverence for par
ents, living and dead, may be
said to be one of the keynotes of
his teaching. Besides recom
mending all the virtues, he ad
vocaled the cultivation of friend
ship and the correction today of
the faults ot yesterday.
What a contrast to the teach
ings of so-called Christianity. It
is a fact, proved By statistics,
that many inmates of our pris
ons are former Sunday school
pupils who had church affilia
tions all their lives. True Chris
tianily should be a way of life,
not mere belief in a jumble of
ridiculous creeds and dogmas
based on ancient mythology.
What can we expect of our chil
dren if we (ill their heads with
such nonsense?
Bible reading in the schools,
which has recently been de
clared un-Constitutional by the
Supreme Court, is not the an
swer to the problem of juvenile
delinquency. Neither is the usual
training given under the name
of "religious instruction." Chil
dren should be told the truth.
They can't go on believing in
Santa Claus for the rest of their
lives.

Sorting pears is no great spree.
We have bosses three, and four...
There's one coming through
the door.
They say, "Take this out.. .leave
this in."
We wonder where we should
begin.
We are so tired, we wish we
could sit
But they just turn the dumper
up a bit.
Our back aches, our eyes are
sore,
Yet the packers yell they want
some more.
There are punctures, box cuts,
rot and red scale:
There is damage by birds,
bugs, frost and hail.
When we think we are doing
real good,
Placing every pear where we
should,
We glance up and there stands
the boss.
We wonder why he looks so
cross. , .
'Leave this in; throw this one
out!"
Then we hear another shout:
'Somebody is throwing away
good pears'."
It's no wonder we're getting
gray hairs.

New President Assumes Near-Impossible
Task of Keeping Argentina a Democracy
A white haired, fragile-ap
pearing country doctor has tak
en over the job of proving that
Argentina can exist as a prac
ticing democracy.
He is Dr. Arturo Umbcrto II
lia, under whom Argentina re
turned last week to constitu
tional government. His chances
for success will depend in large
part upon the control he is able
to exercise over Argentina's
military factions on the one
hand and the followers of for
mer dictator Juan D. Peron on
the other.
For the more than 10 years
since Peron's fall, the two
groups have kept the nation in
an unceasing state of turmoil.
From the vantage point of a
recent visit to Argentina, it is
possible to predict that Presi
dent Illia is in for some lumps
at home and at least occasional
clashes with the United States.
For one thing, he has been ac
cused of being a rabid Argen
tine nationalist. He already has
announced plans to annul the
foreien oil contracts which

for c-ublicalion is permissible.
Bear Creek Park
To the Editor: It appears that
no more appropriate name could
be given to a nice park border
ing Bear Creek in ftledtora man
Bear Creek Park. The name
might induce people to recog
nize the area, and treat it as
park instead of a garbage dump,
and eventually we'd nave, in
stead of an eyesore, a pretty
bowling green picnicking area
along a sparkling creek, and
Joice Kilmer-described trees
where birds would sing from
dawn till dark, unless birds, too,
are banished or few and far
between.
Up to three or four years ago
it was not unusual through the
late summer season to see 20 to
30 robins at a time in my back
yard. This season two to six
or so was an occasional limit.
Park, creek, trees, birds. Just
visualize this. Let us work for it.

Education, Then and Now
To the Editor: Just to set
some people straight that have
derisive things to say about the
earlier methods of education:
When we older people went to
school in a one room school
building we were taught all rules
and tables thoroughly, giving a
firm foundation for the lessons
to follow.
'he same thoroughness was
used on spelling. I once knew a
young woman that could spell
every word correctly, and never
was downed at a spelling bee;
like was popular in those days.
Some don't stop to think when
they may answer "No" if asked
if they went to high school. We
had all the grades known by
number to the 10th in that one
country school.
After getting good grades in
these, you could go to what they
called Normal if you wanted to
be a teacher of all these grades.
Naturally one had to know
more than if you just wanted to
be a 3rd, -)lh, and so on teacher.
Those few families that could
afford to send children to col
lege did so on their own. And
why shouldn't they do so in
these days. Higher education is
no concern of the general public.
Listening to Dr. Peterson on
TV he says there aren't jobs for
all that are graduating now
days. He says the reason many
young ladies go to college is to
catch a good financial husband.
Whv should the public pay for
that?
He also said many students
that are financially able to go to
college are dropping out rom
boredom because they are
smarter than their teachers.
I have known people that
could add faster in their heads
than those that had gone to
school.
Today they have machines
that do this for you.

Stilwell Defended
To the Editor: Joseph Alsop,
in his column, "Matter of Fact,"
M-T, 101463, heaps praise on
Chiang and Madame Kai-shek
and calls the late Gen. Joseph
V. Stilwell "a foolish and violent
old man."
If there was ever a statement
that could be questioned it is
the latter, Stilwell couldn t nave
been so old as he marched right
with the men, and he couldn't
have been foolish or he wouldn't
have had the respect and liking
he had from both officers and
men.
The official Army history of
the U.S. Army in WW 2 in the
volume "Stilwell's Mission to
China," tells a completely dif
ferent storv than Alsop.
The Forrestal Diaries uphold
Stilwell: Pappy Boyington in
"Baa, Baa Black Sheep," page
105 says, "It was so obvious that
the Gcnerallisimo was nothing
but a front who never said any
thing on his own, or even
thought for himself. The Ma
dame did everytning. Chiang
just seemed to be led around,
And right or wrong I was con
vinced that the Madame was a
No. 1 con artist if I had ever
seen one."
Ledercr in "A Nation of
Sheep," has a similar report on
the Chiangs.
One doesn't have to be a Com
munist to be against an ana
chronistic autocrat (whom we
are supporting in style). Nor
docs one have to be a college
professor to recognize irrespon
sible journalism.

GENIUS MISUNDERSTOOD
Perhaps the two most influ
ential men of the 20th century
in terms of changing the moral
and intellectual climate of our
times have been Einstein and
Freud.
Yet, by the paradox that al
ways accompanies their kind of
greatness, neither of them is
really understood, not only by
the masses, but even by the ma
jority of educated people.
vi course, their technical
theories need not be understood:
what I mean is that not even
their basic premises are grasped
accurately and clearly. To most
people, Einstein said, "Every
thing is relative," and Freud
said, "Everything is sex."
Both these statements are
totally false, and would have
horrified the men to whom
they arc ascribed. Leaving
Einstein aside for the moment,
let us consider the widespread
distortion of Freud's view into
"Everything is sex."
Some psychiatrists in the
past believed this. They were
known as "panscxualisls."
Freud fought these men vigor
ously and relentlessly. But at
the same time, he was fight
ing conventional society, and
forcing us to recognize that
many kinds of "non-sexual"
behavior had deep sexual
roots.
What we have forgotten
if we have ever known it Is
that Freud also demonstrated
the opposite: that, In neurosis,

Test: Are You
A Good Dictator? fod
By Arthur Hoppe lTv.. Jf J
EN ROUTE TO WASHING
TO 1 am hustling to Washing-
ton because my country needs
my expert advice. On how to tell
a good dictator from a bad dic
tator. As you know, our State De
partment's efforts to spread
democracy, especially in Latin
America, have been producing
kind of a mixed bag lately. Most
of them brand new dictators.
And the State Department's get
ting a mite defensive. It keeps
issuing statements saying:
"Well, we must realize that
some dictators are better than
others." And we certainly must.
For it's our firm policy never to
give our money and support to
bad dictators. Only good dic
tators. But you can see the problem.
Every time a democratic pres
ident is overthrown by some
army colonel, the State Depart
ment must decide: is the colonel
a good dictator worthy of our
largess? Or a bad dictator?
What we obviously need is a
simple test.
Luckily, 1 happen to be an ex
pert in this field. Because for
years I've read those Sunday
supplement articles headed
"Test yourself. Are you a good
husband?" Or: "Are you a good
mother-in-law?" (I find I al
ways make a good mother-in-law.)
So I foresee no difficulties
in devising a simple State De
partment test for new dictators.

tion" of the railroads, a task
I iiu AitMHiiie reauei uviuie mm
has been able to accomplish.
Like the Y.P.F. company,
the railroads are heavily
feather - bedded. The railroad
deficit this year will just about
equal the national deficit of
around $200 million.
Past government efforts have
resulted in a reduction of rail
road employes from 226.000 to
around 141,000. But the sys
tem is in bad repair and Ar
gentine farmers refuse to trust
it with their crops. U.S. exports
believe at least 15.000 to 20.000
miles of track should be aban
doned. The Y.P.F., in addition to its
own enterprises, at present
takes all the crude oil pro
duced by the foreign compa
nies. Bui it also is heavily in
the red, and has been unable to
pay its producers. In theory it
should contribute substantially
to the country's highway and

what seems to be sexual con
duct is not really sexual at
all.
Take, for example, patterns
of adultry and promiscuity.
These certainly seem to be
motivated by sexual drives.
Yet, in many if not most
cases, the sexual "acting out"
is merely a symptom of other
discontents and dissatisfac
tions. Of the people who behave this
way, relatively few are driven
by genuinely sexual needs. They
are unhappy in other ways, they
are enslaved by infantile fears
or conflicts never resolved with
in themselves and their sex
usual misconduct is simply a
symptom of their deeply uncon
scious problems.
Freud showed that many
things we do not commonly
think of as "sexual" are sexual
in origin; but he also demon
strated the contrary that
"pseudo - sexuality" is one of
the prime ways in which the dis
turbed or immature personality
tries to come to terms (unsuc
cessfully, of course) with its con
flicts. This is why, as he pointed
out, there is no real joy or last
ing satisfaction in such compul
sive behavior.
The finest tribute humanity
can pay its great men is to un
derstand them. Instead they are
venerated or condemned, out of
blind admiration or blind ignor
ance; which is why Freud said,
"I am not a Freudian."

How easy it will be to distin

like Mr. Castro. Mr. Mao and
