The Census Bureau And -
Religious Preference

The decision taken by Robert
w. Burgess, director of the Cen
sus Bureau, to drop a proposed
question about religious prefer
ence from the 1860 census re-
fleets good sense and good feel
ing. Mr.. Burgess reason for the
decision is a thoroughly respect
able one: "a considerable num-

Ever Wonder About -
What Price Wisdom?

a m p US es, superior football
teams, and variety of courses,
none claim to be concerned with
wisdom. Wisdom is, furthermore
as the Columbia dean observ-
ed - something that many seek
and many fail to attain"
But this still begs the main
question: What, if anything, did
Columbia contribute to h e
search? -.
Once it was considered self
evident that the object of acquir-
ing learning was to be wise. Now
few think this is reason enough.
Colleges feel obliged to demon
strate that education pays and
the educators soberly reckon that
the A. B. degree is worth about
100000 in added life earnings.
Politicians can justify aiding ed
ucation only by reckoning the
need for learned men to produce
ballistic missiles.
Wisdom remains a lovely word,
associated with very old men
who lived a long time ago. s. The
disgruntled student is the first
we know of to put a cash value
on it and to him it is only worth
$4,000, about the price of one of
those dream-boats given away at
the plateau of quiz program.

and state deserved the sympa-
thetic consideration which the
bureau accorded it.
Generally speaking, Americans
are not in the least embarrassed
or hesitant about protesting their
religious preference = or even
lack of it. But they bride - and
altogether properly - at the idea
of being required to express
such a preference under threat of
punishment for refusing to do so.

are "You Bet Your Life" with

COWdn, IIlc luCd Llhi WIN
undoubtedly thought the time
auspicious in view Of the fun
everybody seems to be having
with the quiz-tix scandal and
westerns.
There is and must be criti-
cism, Mr.. Cowan told the Ad
Club in Pittsburgh. II only ask
that there be responsible criti-
cism responsibly written"
There are occasions" he
continued, when critics or re-
pOrters Of the televisiOn scene
unthinkingly can destroy the
people on whom they sit In
judgment. And there are those
who enjoy watching these ex-
ecutiOns just as much as the
knitting needle crowds who
gathered to watch the guillO-
tines at the time Of the French
Revolution"
The third network was heard
from on the subject yesterday
ABC-TV.
In a closed circuit telecast
previewing the networks fall
programming, president Oliver
Treyz took particular exception
to the views of the MeSsrs.
Sarnoff and Cowan.
Mr.. Treyz's opinions do not
resolve the debate, of course,
but it was awfully refreshing
to hear his unsolicited if neatly
timed testimonial. (Mr. Treyz'
audience consisted Of critics..
"The emergence of ABC-TV
to competitive equality with the
other networks has not been the
result Of lashing back at criti-
cism," he stated. "The opposite
Is true. Our respect for the
opinions of the press and our
willingness TO heed its counsel
has been a substantial factor in
this networks maturing"
AS the critics in the audience
grinned, Treyz added:
I'VE intend to continue that
policy, not in a spirit of butter
ing you up, but because we are
convinced that your opinions
are honestly motivated. con-
structively meant and directly
rendered"
So there.

AS for the ABC fall program
ming setup, I don't think it will
win any awards for maturity,
but 1t should give the competing
networks a few new headaches.
There was a fast look at the new
daytime programming and
some of the nighttime entries.
OF these, Naked City and the
Donna Reed Show looked most
promising.

the old TV spot, which seemed
to consist Of a hand drawn
