tion-year message to Congress
on housing and community de
velopment. Even farmers had a
place, although the major em
phasis was on those who dwell
in or near large,cities.
Renewed Pledge
He promised Negroes that
his administration "will con
tinue and strengthen its efforts
to translate the pledge" of the
late President John F. Ken
nedy's anti-bias housing order
"into meaningful practice."
But Johnson made no men
tion of any plans to extend the
order banning racial discrimi
nation in federally assisted
housing to include convention
ally financed housing, a step
many civil rights leaders have
recommended.
He renewed Kennedy's de
mands for a Cabinet-rank De
partment of Housing and Com
munity Development, and for
enactment of the mass transit
program now awaiting a House
vote.
Emphasis Shift
The major shift in emphasis
came in the partnership pro
gram of aid in developing the
fast-growing areas around big
cities.
Johnson called for a program
of cooperative planning and de
velopment, with the federal
government providing financial
aid and know-how.
Where local governments are
swamped by pressing needs for
proper sewage facilities, water
systems, roads and other neces
sities, Johnson calls for federal
grants and direct loans to help
out. He would have the federal
government- provide funds to
build facilities large enough to
allow for future growth, even
though immediate local tax
revenues wouldn't finance it.
Also, Johnson would provide
fderal funds for planning
community development and
advance purchase of land for
public purposes, such as
schools, parks and recreational
areas.
Insured Loans
Private developers planning
large subdivisions or entire
communities would get federal
ly insured loans.
"The pioneering efforts of
progressive and imaginative
private developers in planning
totally new and complete com
munities indicate some of the
exciting possibilities for order
ly growth," Johnson said.
Even for the old, established

MRS. SMITH
. . . Announces Candidacy
Mrs. Smith
Tosses Hat
Into Race
WASHINGTON (EP) Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith, 66, re
doubtable campaigner from
Maine, recited yesterday all the
reasons she should not run for
the Republican presidential
nomination, and then said:
"So, because of these very
impelling reasons against my
running, I have decided that I
SHALL."
Republican Moderate
As a "moderate Republican"
the slim, slivery-haired senator
will enter the first primary in
New Hampshire Mar. 10. She
also will run in Illinois. She
will have no objection to her
name being entered in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and assumes
it will be entered in Oregon.
The launching pad for her
candidacy was a luncheon of
the Women's National Press
Club, and she built the an
nouncement into a suspense
story that wowed the audience.
Heavy Odds
People had cited grave rea
sons for her not running, she
said: lack of money, organiza
tion, time, heavy odds against
her, this is a man's world, etc.
Then, with a twinkle, she made
her positive announcement.
In her voluminous corre
spondence, she said also, are
reasons why she should run,
including:
The argument that she would
be pioneering to break the sex
barrier—to make it easier for
some woman in the future to
be elected president.
'Wide Range'
But the argument she seemed
to find most fetching is this:
"It has been contended that I
should run in order to give the
voters a wider range of choice
—and specifically a choice oth
er than that of conservative or
liberal—to give those who con
sider themselves to be mod
erates or middle-of-the-road
advocates a chance to cast an
unqualified vote instead of
having to vote conservative or
liberal."
Although she did not name
her oponents, her reference ob
viously was to New York's Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller and Sen.
Barry Goldwater of Arizona.
Both have campaigned exten
sively in New Hampshire with
Rockefeller pleading the liberal
cause 'and Goldwater the con
servative philosophy.
Husband's Successor
Mrs. Smith, who helped earn
her education by doing switch
board duty in the Skowhegan.
Maine, telephone office, is the
widow of Clyde H. Smith. He
ran for office 48 times in Maine
and won 48 times. On his death,
she ran successfully for his U.S:
House of Representatives seat,
and nobody has headed her off
since.
Senator Proposes Bill
To Lower Voting Age
HARRISBURG (?P) State
Sen. Albert R. Pechan (R-Arm
strong) renewed his efforts yes
terday to lower the voting age
in Pennsylvania from 21 to 18.

France's 'Two Chinas'
New ETV
Head Sets
High Goals
By MEL ZIEGLER
Marlowe D. Froke, direc
tor of broadcasting, told the
University yesterday to "set
expectations high" on its
new VHF Educational Tel
evision Channel 3.
Froke, who will manage the
station's operations, assured
that his staff "expects a lot and
will deliver a lot."
The role of University ETV
should be "supplementary" in
all areas to commercial stations
and provide what they fail to
schedule, the new station man
ager added.
Final approval of a $200,000
loan for channel 3 from the
Department of Health, Educa
tion, and Welfare and a con
struction permit from the
Federal Communications Com
mission are expected soon.
Construction will begin soon
after.
22 Counties
The station, scheduled to be
in operation by September, will
transmit from Clearfield Coun
ty and service 22 other central
Pennsylvania counties.
Froke explained that chan
nel 3, as a University station,
will play a "vital role" in the
Common wealth Educational
Network.
Upon completion of the CEN,
programs originating fr o m
Clearfield and campus will be
transmitted to network sta
tions in Harrisburg, Allentown,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Scranton and Erie.
More Entertainment
Froke agreed with FCC head
William Henry's recent appeal
for more entertainment in edu
cational TV. He said he expects
to format channel 3 with in
creased "showmanship and,
performance."
He feels that content will be
wasted without these methods
of presentation.
Locally originating programs
will include college courses,
with and without credit. Froke
explained the possibility of
eventually expanding to a
"junior college of the air."
Tapes of closed-circuit lec
tures broadcast in University
classrooms will not be used be
cause of the "varied intellec
tual level" of the television
audience.
Junior College
WQED, Pittsburgh, and oth
er educational stations have
already made inquiries into
this "junior college" emanating
from Penn State, via micro
wave, throughout the state.
Also in the planning stages
is live coverage of all Univer
sity athletic activities but foot
ball to other educational TV
outlets.
Plans call for football - games
to be rebroadcast Sunday
afternoons.
Channel 3 will join the East:
ern Educational Network and'
the National Educational Net
work and gather the bulk of its
programs from these sources.
Such shows as "French Chef",
"Eye of the Artist", "Antiques",
live concerts from the Roches
ter and Wilmington Sympho
nies and lessons on how to play
bridge will be some network
contributions.
Plans submitted to the FCC
state the channel will begin
the day's broadcasting at 2:30
p.m. and continue until 10 p.m.
Froke said he wishes to ex
pand these hours from 8 a.m.
to 11 p.m. daily to utilize maxi
mum facilities.
"THE NEW PRINCE," an original play by Actors Roger Destremps, David Gregson
Pat O'Connor, will be produced by 5 and Steve Harr and director Nancy Lee

Paris Ties
TAIPEI, Formosa (VP)
France launched its "two
Chinas" policy yesterday
and recognized Red China,
a fateful step denounced
promptly by the Chinese
Nationalists as "disastrous to the
cause of the free world."
Apparently heeding the ad
vice of Washington, President
Chiang Kai-shek's reg i m e
stopped short of breaking off
relations with Paris. But a
,strong protest to France called
recognition "an extremely un
friendly act."
The United States, which has
kept Chiang's regime afloat
since the Communists conquered
the mainland in 1949, called
France's long-expected decision
"an unfortunate step."
Similar expressions came
from such friends of the Nation
alists as the Philippines and
South Korea. Japan emphasized
that it will continue to recognize
the Nationalists.
Peking radio announced si
multaneously with Paris that
the two nations would designate
ambassadors within three
months.
The Chinese Nationalists knew
French recognition of their old
mainland enemy was coming,
but the prompt acceptance of
Peking of the "two Chinas" con
cept apparently surprised them.
The Nationalist Foreign Min
istry issued a statement saying
France's action "gravely af
fects the international balance
in the face of Communist expan
sion" and emphasized its oppo
is i t ion to French President
Charles de Gaulle's "two
Chinas" policy.
U.S. Secretary of State Dean
Rusk told the Japanese in Tokyo
that France cannot influence
Peking's belligerent policy to
ward the West because the
French will not bring any real
power to Asia, informed sources
said.
Speaking at a closed meeting
of the U.S.-Japanese economic
conference, Rusk was said to
have expressed concern over
the effects French recognition
will have on South Korea, For
mosa, Southeast Asia and even
tually Japan.
Washington officials were re
portedly concerned also over the
impact on Africa, where Pre
mier Chou En-lai is on tour at
a time when unrest is sweeping
the dark continent.
The Nationalist protest to
France mentioned it. charging
that Red China's true colors
were shown in the African na

U.S. authorities said the con
