Paar Takes Up Tractor Issue on TV Nightly Fundraiser
New York reports Jack Paar has turned his NBC Tonight Show into a telethon for the Tractors for Freedom committee since May 31. He has hosted Eleanor Roosevelt and Walter Reuther to bolster the cause while sparring with Clare Boothe Luce and Sen. Barry Goldwater. Goldwater’s 20 minute appearance drew applause as he warned against Communist blackmail. Paar notes Arizona viewers miss the talk due to late night airtime and says he is taking a risk backing an unpopular issue. President Kennedy cited as having a stake in the matter.
