This is not intended to single out one TV talk show except as an examnle; most New York - based offerings "ersit in promoting the al-ism, however mere subtly since Agnew's remonstrance. When the Vice President toured 11 Asian nations, worldwide news services led almost every story with a mention of "demonstrations. It was a pitiful handful of protesters who sought to embarrass our Vice President in Canberra, Australia, but her is the way UPI led its account of his visit there: "A protest barrage of tomatoes spattered on the bulletproof surface of Vice President Spiro T.

N 14111 5, 1970 THE CITIZEN OON GREAVES than 40 persons get iself reported and quoted sufficiently to distort the whole worlds important first impression of the events of that busy and productive day. Other news services were cquatlly myopic in their coverage of other stops. AP anticipated "'hostile demonstra tions to include some of our own Peace Corpsmen in Afghanistan. A few' hippie-typ- e demonstrators. not including any Peace Corosmen, in that oc- ean of turbaned, gaily robed Afghans waving American Flags, were utterly unworthy of the worldwide mention and attention they received. And that is the k!nd of distortion Agnew has been talking about. The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence (the Milton Eisenhower Commission) accused the news media of troublemaking. The Commission said the news media have "contributed to the widespread use of confrontation as an instrument of social change. Now, the report concludes, "A crisis of confidence exists between the American people and their news media. The last Gallup Poll sec onds that notion. A majority of adults questioned felt the TV networks favor one side when presenting news dealing with political and social issues, a higher proportion believed that newspapers "favor one side. John Macy, president of the Corporation for Public BroadAmericans casting, says, are seeing more news and believing it less. Now if there were a sinister conspiracy designed to distort what you see and hear, you would not now be seeing and hearing Paul Harvey. The Eisenhower Commission says the prss should provide more interpretive reporting on social problems and should display fairly and clearly opinions, analyses and solutions from a wide variety of people. That and no more is what Mr. Agnew was so-call-ed tap-lev- ef Mar.

I is frightening the leg- leaders is the effort of the Senate Local Taxation Committee to emasculate the compromise property tax revenue limitattion measure. The amendment to the 5.5 percent limitation bill certainly would accomplish what the Senate and House tried to do when they voted to repeal the present 4 percent limita-tio- n law. But the governor vetoed that repealer. What the leaders fear is that should Local Government Committee amendment actually get through both the House and Senate, U would offer reason for the governor to veto that measure. in the bill House. Some half-loa- f as it passed the legislators are not concerned about staying in town longer than 45 days. But there are others who have not forgotten that Wally Burns of Idaho Falls is still out in the hustings seeking signatures on an initiative petition restricting the length of the first session of a legislature to 60 days and fire second to 30 days. In addition, it would reduce compensation to the legislators. More important, realistic legislators know that in an election year, the accent should be on a short and economical session that doesn't rock too many boats.
