Lashes Out
At Boycott
By MIKE FT1N8ILBER

WASHINGTON (AP) - The
television todurtry uyi • boycott
Intended to punlah NBC and IU
parent firm, RCA, for the pro
miscuou* uae of aex, violence end
profanity on television runs
counter to what most American*
want.
Most people, says the Televi-
sion Information Office, want the
right to determine for
themselves, by flipping channels
or turning the set off. what they
see on television - and what they
choose to boycott.
"Surveys of public attitudes •
about who should determine the
content of television have em-
phatically shown a lack of support
for such teaious groups." said
Roy Danish, spokesman for the
organisation, which Is supported
by the networks and other major
broadcasters
The Industry group denounced
Thursday's boycott call by the
Coalition for Better Television as
"a clear attempt at censorship by
economic Intimidation “
The boycott was called by the
Rev Donald E Wlldmon of
Tupelo. Miss , chairman of the
Coalition for Better Television
He asked "Christians and other
fair-minded people" to stop buy-
ing products offered by RCA and
IU subsidiaries - the Herts
Corp., RCA Records. C.I.T.
Financial Corp. and Coronet In-
dustries. which makes carpets
"ft has become abundantly
clear that RCA-NBC does not
want the business of Christian
people." Wlldmon said.
"RCA-NBC has excluded Chris-
tian characters. Christian values
and Christian culture from their
programming "
The Methodist minister did not
ask people to shun NBC programs
- even those he found objec-
tionable — unless they were par-
ticipating In rating surveys. In
that case, he asked that they not
report watching NBC shows.
He said the boycott would con-
tinue until NBC meets his 11
demands. These concern the use
of drugs, alcohol, violence, sex
and profanity on programs,
under representation of the elder-
ly and members of minority races
in programs; discrimination In
programs against Christians and
their values; and commercials
"which pander to sex" and which
advertise feminine personal
hygiene products.
RCA also called the move “an

The stamp on a letter is only a shiall part of the cost of
doing business by mail. You have to include the cost
of secretarial time, materials, mail handling and overhead.
That adds up to something like $6.63* You can do
a lot of business with long distance for that amount, take care of
orders faster, and save time and energy as well.
Plus you never have to lick stamps.
