percent of all adults are exposed to news-
paper display advertising, compared with
only 17 percent who see television com-
mercials. Joe Belden, president of the firm,
said in the report that the survey was
unique because "we interviewed the same
people twica—a personal interview for
detailed information on newspaper read-
ing and television viewing habits, follow-
ed by a telephone interview to discover the
exposure to television station breaks." Ha
said, "Since the same people ara used for
both measurements there is no question
about the comparability of the samples
.... our findings have significance of
national importance to advertisers."

sights into the President's
thinking:
He does not feel the If, H. can

tions this year before pressing
for new breakthroughs.
He regards civil rights and
the $11,000,000 tax cut as leg-

expressed support for the medi-
care program of aid to the
aged.
Reducing the budget to save
money for essential human

He hopes cost cutting will serve
as a pattern for future years.

A—The term "(I. I." might
be defined us "government i

supplies, equipment, clothing,
etc., issued to individuals or,

has no standing as an entitle-
