An anti-bal- listic missile system is a shield to protect us and our offensive missiles from any kind of crippling attack. The ABM is necessary insurance against the present and an- ticipated offensive weapon capabilities of Red China and the Soviet Union. It helps assure that the United States always will be strong enough to counter threats to world peace. Therefore, op- position to defensive missiles based on the kind of assump- tions discussed in this col- umn is just not good enough, in my opinion. ® Others are Saying AGNEW AND THE MEDIA Vice President Agnew’s attacks on the tight control of television news and com- ment and his criticism of the dominant cross-media owner- ships of the New York Times and Washington Post have caused much journalistic flak. But generally those who denounce Mr. Agnew ignore. two important questions: 1. There is some truth to his charge that those media may, if their owners choose, exercise considerable control over the news many Ameri- tins may receive. 2. Mr. Agnew obviously was motivated by politics; he ignored many more glar- ing examples of news media “monoply’”’ than the New York and Washington cases cited. Chains own half of the daily newspapers with more than 60 percent of the total daily circulation in the U. S. The rate of daily chain growth is virtually at geo- metric proportions. If that pace continues, all dailies will be chain-owned before 1990, or so I predicted in The First Freedom, Southern Illinois University Press, 68. These and other data herein presented are from that book. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the general public all mass media and those working for them are tarred by Mr. Ag- new’s broad swipe. Further, many more ap- propriate targets were avail- able. The Chicago Tribune owns seven dailies, includ- ing those with the largest (New York News), third lar- gest (Chicago Tribune), and 14th largest (Chicago Today) circulations in the U. S. and owns companion radio-tele- vision properties in New York and Chicago plus TV stations in Denver and Du- luth and a radio station in Bridgeport, Conn., and fea- ture and news services. Or Mr. Agnew might have slug- ged the Copley newspapers, 18 dailies and a news service; Donrey Media Group, 24 dail- ies, 20 weeklies, six radio stations, four - TV stations; Scripps-Howard, 16 newspa- pers, three radio stations, four television stations, Unit- ed Press International] a fea- ture syndicate; Hearst, eight dailies, seven radio stations, three TV stations, a. feature syndicate, a share of United Press International, 12 U. S. magazines; Freedom newspa- pers (Hoiles), 14 dailies. And many more. These unsullied publishers have one thing in common; all are politically conserva- tive. Although at least some of these and others possess greater potential to “manage the news” than do either the New York Times or Washing- ion Post, they do not share those two papers’ guilt of criticizing the administration. Mr. Agnew’s is a valid criticism, but for the wrong reasons. By Bryce W. Rucker Dept. of Journalism Southern Illinois University —From American Press THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY.

Meeting Four Lancaster county far- mers — two from the Mount Joy area were in Wash- ington, D.C., Tuesday and Wednesday of last week to attend the annual legislative tour if the Pennsylvania Far- mers’ association. Representing the Lancast- er Farmers’ Association, they were: Jay Newcomer, Mount Joy R1, and James Garber, Mount Joy R2, and Ivan Yost of Christiana, and Jno. Groff of Quarryville. They met with Congress- man Edwin Eshleman con- cerning federal farm pro- grams and attended a ban- cuet for legislators of Penn- sylvania at the Hotel Sones- ta, including Senators Hugh Scott and Richard Schweiker. “We need a new approach to federal farm programs,” Association President John R. Pitzer told the national legislators at the banquet. “Our members are being hurt by the present Food & Agriculture Act of 1965, pointing out ‘the inequities of the program and its fail- ure to help raise farm in- come. “Nationally farmers re- ceived an average of more than 20 percent of their total income from government sub- sidy programs, while in Pennsylvania less than seven percent of the farmers’ in- come is derived from this source. The number of farm- ers is declining annually and farm income is lagging dras- tically in comparison with other segments of the econ- cmy.”’ G.0.P.
