The FCC released Friday a letter sent to CBS Wednesday asking the network to state within 20 days whether it has “fulfilled or plans in the near future to fulfill the cbligation te encourage and implement the broadcast of all sides’ of such controversial issues.” CBS has been criticized by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and others for its documentary “The Selling Of the Pentagon” which contended the Defense Department would spend millions this year on “public relations, not merely to iform but to convince and persuade the public on vital issues of war an peace.” othe network Friday refused to comply with a House subcommittee subpoena demanding materials used in producing the documentary be turned over to the committee. CBS voluntarily turned over the transcript and a copy of the film but refused to supply excess footage not broadcast and other materials. Robert Evans, general counsel for CBS, said compliance with the subcommittee demand would have a “chilling effect” on the ability of newsmen to report and interpret the news, including the conduct of governmentofficials.

Arthur V. Watkins, R-Utah. The Indians also charged the school with several abuses that “facilitate” the destruction of the Navajo cultcral heritage The plaintiffs charged that and free exercise of their nathe school is used in direct vi- tive religion.

Austin, 21, asserted ‘“‘the school’s racial segregation policy is not the product of an historic de facto housing pattern, but was established and maintained by the federal government through a deliberate policy of busing students more than 500 miles from their homes to a government operated Indian ghetto set in a small, white-dominated town in northern Utah.” Join Deseret Travel’s EUROPEAN TOUR DEPARTS FROM SALT LAKE CITY JULY 23 Includes: transportation, transfers, most meals, accomodations, sightseeing.
