Show Hinckley speakers optimistic dead in more ways than one industrially in-dustrially dead, or killed by air pollution." According to Daly, the only solution solu-tion to the Problem is "Get the work done. Stop blaming government govern-ment and industry, and get the work done." "Money is important, public education necessary, and professional profes-sional direction mandatory," said Daly, "But without a more practical, prac-tical, less emotional, attack on the problem, poiiution will continue con-tinue to exist." Mi'. Porter, of Arnold and Porter Law Firm, reported that the First Amendment will always be around as will free expression, despite what Vice President Agnew does or says. "All that Agnew has done," said Porter, "is cause the press to exam itself. "The 'U' in Utah must stand for unpolluted. This is the first breath of fresh air that I have had." This was Paul A. Porter's first impression as he arrived in the Salt Lake City. The former chairman chair-man of the Federal Communications Communica-tions Commission admitted, however, how-ever, that, as yet, he hadn't looked look-ed to the West .... Porter, along with John Charles Daly, former moderator of the television show "What's My Line," and Sidney L. James, vice president presi-dent of "Time" magazine, are presently participating in the poli-tician-in-residence program sponsored spon-sored by the University Hinckley Institute of Politics. Daly also praised Utah for its semi-clean air He maintained that Salt Lake City is no worse or better bet-ter than any other city in the nation na-tion in relation to pollution. The former director of the Voice of America insisted that there is no adequate program in existence exist-ence today to cope with the pollution pollu-tion crisis. However, Daly stated that efforts are being made to awake people to the nature and scope of the problem. Awareness programs across the nation are now bringing the problem of pollution pollu-tion to everyone's consciousness. Daly entitled the University Teach-in as one more satisfactory satisfac-tory effort in insisting that people realize that they are the major cause of pollution people and their domestic waste. Daly pointed out that the solution solu-tion to the problem isn't the destruction des-truction of industries in small communities. "Taking away the economy of 200-300 families isn't going to resolve the air pollution problem. A community can be james, one 01 me iounciers 01 "Life" magazine, agreed that the news media has had to re-evaluate its procedures because of the Vice President's attacks. "The thing that is wrong With the press," James stated, "is that it can't take criticism Press people are thin skinned people; they can hand out critisicm, but can't take it in return." James maintained that the only thing that could result from Agnew 's speeches is the improvement improve-ment of the press. "The media may get to a point where it can even say things well enough for people to identify with it," James said. The FCC has recently passed a bill for the limitation of political advertising. Porter, once again, maintained that the First Amendment Amend-ment was not in violation. "The FCC is not censoring or reviewing, review-ing, but merely placing a limit on how much a pollitical candidate can spend for television ads. Porter Por-ter emphasised that Nixon, in the 1968 campaign, spent over 30 million mil-lion dollars in television and radio advertisements; Humphrey considerably con-siderably less." The politician-in-residence disclosed, dis-closed, however, that with all of the riots, student protests, marches it is questionable that in 1976, the 200th annivers'ily of the Bill of Rights, that there will be anything to celebrate. Tomorrow at 9:55 a.m. at the Marriott Library Auditorium, the tlrree guests will discuss "Government "Govern-ment and the Media, from FDR to Agnew." ; At 8:30 p.m. Mr. Daly, a member mem-ber of the National Air Conservation Conserva-tion Commission, will discuss "The Environment: Our National Challenge." |
