They are attending the third
days sessions of the flve-day
golden anniversary convention.
Orville Hitchcock, professor OF
speech at the University of Iowa,
moderated a panel on Asia and

corded for rebroadcast June B

Prominent speakers

uor to the United States. and
Sujono Surjotjondro. Counselor
of the Indonesian Embassy in
Washington.
Mr. Hoffman 1ormerlS was
head of The Economic Co-opera-
tlor Administration and preSi-
dent of the Ford Foundation.
In prepared remarks he said
h9lf a billion free Asians and
the cit zens CI The United States
would benefit by P sharply in
creased exchange of technical
and cultural know-hor.'
But" M. Hoffman de Jared,
"there can be no effective ex-
change except in an atr1o1pllere
Of mutual trust. Today w too
often find, not trust, bat sus-
picion, not friendlinesS. but an
tagonism.
"Alld the tragedy of it al is
thai there is no sclid reason for
such gnisunderstandings. It is nl-
most wholly the result of avoid
able MISUNDERSTANDING, misun-
derstandings in some cases TO-
me1lted by tie Communist and
in all cases exploited by them. "

ACQUITTAL IN MISSISSIPPI
THE UNITED STATES,

THE UNITED SlAlES, the greatest democracy Oh
earth, has a most uncanny way Of finding itself in the most
embarrassing and humiiatng positions imaginable. Deep IN
to suchsa position slipped the Y. S. in the early morning hours
Of August "a, for it was then that two men, Roy Bryant, "a,
and his half brother, W. Milan, were said to have taken
A-year-old Emmett TIL from his unces home. Young Till
was supposed to have ~wof-whisled at Roy Bryants wife
four days earlier. The place: Money, Mississippi
THREE JAYS AFTER Bryant and Milan took Till
from his mcles home, the body Of the boy was fished from
a nearby river, a bullet wound behind the right ear, the face
badly mutiIated. The two men were arrested. The nation
was shocked. The N.AACP. went into action, funds were
collected, the press gave extensive coverage, and even Mis-
sissippis governor issued q statement.
THE TRIAL is now history, as a shirt-Sleeved, tobacco
chewing jury brought in a unanimous verdict OF acquittal
The case, it seems, turned on the question Of Identifying the
BODY. which, the defense claimed, could not be recognized,
and also that the body was too decomposed for just three
days in the river.
u THE O%VERTONES Of the trial far transcend the
iurY,s verdict. Ii seems that American democracy was on
trial before the world. Within the space Of twelve hours the
town Of Sumner, county seat of the county in which white
honor had sought to defend and @~vindicate itself, was
crowded to capacity. There were reporters from British,
Canadian, French, Russian and other papers. Their concern
was to see whether the ~preachments Of democracy reached
into this southern state. After ALL the insult had come from
a boy Of IA in the form Of a whistle from across the street.
THE TWO DEFENDANTS were rearrested on charges
of abduction: But that is anti-clfmacic The real trial has
gone, and the Jury spoke its piece America will have TO find
a more convincing argument to make TO the world.

Stanton Challenges Convention
With His Unique TV Study Plan

who will distort the purpose
of the study and infer that
DR.. Stanton was admitting
that severe criticism of the
industry-much of it from
Capitol Hill-was generally
justified.
There are others who will
say that DR.. Stanton is again
retreating to his ivory tower.
When trouble threatens. they
snort, Gen. Sarnoff commands
another invention. Harold Eel
lows f1ays the newspapers, Pat
Weaver paints a rosy picture
of tomorrow, and DR.. Stanton
forms another committee.
The fact is, that a study of
this nature has. to my knowl-
edge, never been proposed or
executed. +
1t is by no means a surren-
der to the harassers. 1t is a
frank and wholesome admis-
sion of one incontestable point
that there is much room
for improvement in television.
Sensible Plan
And that CHS has elected to
go about it in a sensible way.

tinguiShed members of the

tensive field survey.

none will ever rival the pre-
dicament of TV announcer
who was supposed to demon
strate folding table. He had
worked it without any diff
culties in rehearsal and ex-
pected no trouble.
Came plug" time on the
show and he confidently an
nounced that he would unfold
the table legs. Its so easy,
a child can do it," he pro-
claimed. struggling all the
while with the stubborn piece
- furniture. But the legs
wouldn't give.
Finally, after considerable
tugging and straining, he man
aged to make the table stand
up, We'll, that wasn't too
hard" he crowed with a
panied smile. Anyway, once
it's up, it's solid!" With these
words he let his hand come
down hard.
The table collapsed into a
heap right there and then.
