Editor Says TV
Shows are Stupid
By G. K. HODENFIELD
Associated Pres Education Writer
WASHINGTON, Iff) — The
American people aren’t as moronic
as the television networks seem to
think, the editor of the National
Parent-Teacher Magazine said
yesterday.
Eva H. Grant of Chicago said
“We dare the networks to have a
national survey conducted by a
reliable research agency on what
people want to see.”
She predicted ‘The results
would surprise the networks and
confuse the rating bureaus,” and
would show “that the American
peoples TV-I.Q. will be higher
than the moronic one usually at
tributed to them.”
In an address prepared for the
White House Conference on
Children and Youth, Mrs. Grant
said, “Children’s programs, with
few exceptions, are at worst stu
pid and offensive; at best inane
and artless. What we need are
more good programs and none of
those spawned by people whose
polluted hallucinations make one
think they must consciously or
unconsciously hate children.”
American children, she said,
should be provided programs that
“tug at the heart and stir and'
stretch the mind. When I think
that there are about 40 million
boys and girls in school today, it
j mystifies me that some network
doesn’t go all out to reach this
audience with a show all their
own.
‘'For young adults and grown
up adults we want fewer frothy
soap operas, silly quizzes and
stunts, shoddy crime thrillers,
westerns that traffic in terror,
and stereotyped variety shows.”
A similar theme was sounded
in the prepared address of Prof.
Kimball Wilds of the University
of Florida, who said young people
have become accustomed to vio
lence on their home screens.
“We can’t know how much of
the rise in violent crime is due
to the steady diet of murder and
mayhem fed our children and
youth on television, but we have
seen with our own eyes that youth
are not horrified by it, that they
consider such behavior normal and
commonplace,” Wilds said.
WHEELCHAIR CAMPAIGN
BLACK DIAMOND, Wash., Iff)
— the first woman treasurer in
the history of this little coal min
ing community will take office
June 6. She won the office with
a living room campaign.
Roxana Trover, 34, left most of
the campaigning to her husband
and their 12-year-old son.
Mrs. Trover, a former bookkeep
er, was stricken with polio 10
years ago and spent four months
in an iron lung. She gets around
now in a wheelchair, but has the
use of only one arm.
CASH ONLY — Nome Hardware
New State Supreme
Court Justice Will
Be Sworn Monday
ANCHORAGE, UR — Harry O.
Ahrend, newly appointed State
Supreme Court Justice, will be
sworn in at Juneau next Monday,
Chief Justice Buell Nesbitt said
this week.
The Judicial Council is sched
uled to meet at Nome on April 15
to pick a successor to Arend for
the Superior Court bench at Fair
banks. Arend was presiding
judge at Fairbanks.
Nominating petitions have been
mailed to members of the Alaska
Bar Assn., in which active state
attorneys will indicate their
choice for the Superior Court va
cancy. The petitions are to be re
turned by April 2.
Nesbett said Arend is due in
Anchorage today and will spend
the remainder of the week study
ing procedures of the high court.
He and Nesbett will fly to Ju
neau on the weekend.
Arend, 56, was appointed to the
Supreme Court last Monday by
Governor Egan. He will succeed
Walter Hodge on the high court.
Hodge stepped down after being
named the first federal judge for
Alaska.
The new State Associate Justice
will receive a salary of $22,500 a
year. As a Superior Court judge,
he received $19,000 annually.
Arend has been a resident of
Alaska since 1933.
Scotch Whisky
Blaze Kills 19
Glasgow Firemen
GLASGOW, Scotland, UV — Bri
tain’s worst fire brigade disaster
— the explosion of a blazing whis
ky warehouse — killed 19 fire
men and injured at least 40 other
firefighters Monday night.
The explosion dumped tons of
rubble and burning Scotch whis
ky on three fire trucks and rocked
surrounding tenements.
Intense heat from the' smolder
ing ruins prevented rescue teams
from making a thorough search.
Officials said that not even dur
ing World War II did any single
fire claim so many firemen vic
tims.
The six-story warehouse con
tained 55,000 gallons of Scotch
whisky and an estimated 5 mil
lion dollars worth of tobacco. The
owners said the financial loss
might reach 28 million dollars.
The big warehouse had already
begun crumbling from flames
when the first units of firemen
arrived.
A short time later, there was a
deep rumble and then the walls
bulged and split apart in a deadly
cascade of debris. The blast ripped
off the roof and shot blazing bar
rels of whisky into the narrow,
cobbled streets.
Tons of rubble and rivers of
flaming whisky cascaded over the
fire trucks.
