The Republican National Committee aims to air three half hour programs this spring to rebuild public perception of the GOP. Mary Louise Smith says the shows, a “magazine of the air” in the style of 60 Minutes, will highlight GOP activities, feature guest Republicans, and solicit viewer support. Estimated cost runs about 110000 to 115000, with time buy discussions with CBS NBC or ABC. Also noted is a Bicentennial gift program from J C Penney to high schools and colleges, and a South American flea beetle newly introduced to the United States feeding on alligatorweed.
