Montana p. T. A. To CHALLENGE TV

Montana P.T.A.'s are planning
to raise a rumpus about television
programs this year. The parent
teacher associations will study and
evaluate TV programs, according
to an announcement by Mrs. James
P. Mansfield, Jr., Geyser, maya
zine chairman on the state P.T.A.
board.
Americans are intelligent, cul-
tured people, but you'd never
ugess it by watching television,
Mrs. Mansfield quoted from the
National Parent-Teacher, official
P.T.A. magazine. We'll raise a
rumpus about programs that take
you on a voyage of violence or
give you an undistilled hour of
horror"
The 300 P.T.A. units in Montana
will initiate their study of P.T.A.
programs with the civilizations
published in the National Parent
Teacher. mo parent can shrug
off the responsibility for what APP
pears on the TV screen in his
home," said Mrs. Mansfield. "By
evaluating programs with other
P.T.A. members, and by writing to

the program manager of the orig
mating station, he can demand the
kind of TV fare his children de-
serve"
Mrs. James c. Parker, president
of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers, declares.
"Too many TV programs present
to the adult mind a spacious image
OF the world, glittering with taw-
dry glamour, gaudy values, and
slick solutions to superficial pro-
blems. In the fertile minds of chill
dren # implanted the seeds of
violence, trickery, and corruption
and the idea that as long as JUS
tice triumphs in the end, the means
used to attain it matter little, if at
ALL"
Mrs. Parker urges both telev-
ision and the public to consider
1.-THE real issue: Ty's distortion of
truth and reality through its alb
sorption in the trivial and the I'M
important, its relative neglect and
shoddy treatment of the serious
and the significant in human eX-
perience.
eff we would honor truth, we
cannot ignore lit or be careless with
it, let alone assail it, in so powerful
a medium as TV," she writes, add
ing that failure to find the answer
"and act upon it" is "to risk grave
consequences to the intellectual
progress and moral power of this
nation" III.

more than any other single factor. b
Politicians know this and leaders of both political parties are
casting about for a. way out of the dilemma. Right now, Demo-
Gratis are the principal benefciaries of the farmers discomfort
primarily because they are out of power at the federal gov
eminent level.
However. it is not as simple as that. Farmers as a bloc are
better acquainted with the policies of the two political parties
and their representatives than any other group. The Democrats
cannot hope to benefit politically by simply opposing RepuohcaR
solutions: they must produce something constructive OF tneT
own.

Russia and China
Split Over Reaction
To Demo President

LONDON, R-The giants of the
Communist world split today in
their reaction to the election of
John F. Kennedy. Moscow was
friendly, Peiping hostile.
While most of the free world
looked to the us. President-elect
for dynamic leadership, Soviet
Premier Khrushchev fired off a
congratulatory telegram to Ken
needy declaring readiness for
most friendly relations" and pro-
posed negotiations on disarma-
ment, Germany and other cold
war issues.
Red China's official New China
News Agency, however, described
the President-elect as a member
of one of Americas richest farm
lilies and called him an advocate
of military spending and war pre-
parations.
The comment made clear that
the election has not altered Pei
pings hate-America policy.
The election of the first Ro-
man Catholic president was re-
ceived with satisfaction at the
Vatican.
Pope John XIII, in a congrat-
ulatory cable to Kennedy, prayed
that almighty God may assist
you" and expressed his good
wishes to "the beloved American
people"
Most European newspapers
viewed the election in the light
of the cold war and looked to
Kennedy to put new life in the
Western alliance.
"The Big Sleep Ends" said a
headline in London's conservative
Daily Mail.
Cuba's government controlled
press gave the expected second
ary-and acid-treatment to the
election. La Gale, referring to
Kennedy and Nixon, said one can
didate was "as much a bandit as
the other"
The election results were re-
ceived indifferently in much of

There is no doubt that far

Is a strange spur!
Why shouldn't the pro-

marriage? Why shouldn't it
show the same qualities of
forethought, consideration,
good taste, and devotion that
will be required throughout

An occasional spectacular
proposal cannot offset the
great bulk OF prosaic, unin-

the proposal must be taken
seriously! If successful mar
riage is an art that can be

proposals?
