Emmy Awards for Newsmen Spark Agnew Criticism in L A
Vice President Spiro Agnew told a Los Angeles Republican audience that Emmy awards given to Walter Cronkite and Tom Pettit raised questions of objectivity. He did not name the recipients, while network presidents were praised in a separate luncheon tribute. A spokesman later called the remarks off the cuff. Tower called the event a rallying cry for a Congress to support the administration and urged flexible policy on Southeast Asia and Cambodia.
