TV Seen as Tool for Red Thought Control
The director of the U S Information Agency warned that television could become a near perfect medium for controlling thought behind the Iron Curtain. He noted Voice of America cannot penetrate Soviet borders as radio does, due to technical limits, and urged better use of voice to avert atomic war. A social anthropologist billed TV as more powerful than writing for education, while discussions highlighted telecasting classical music and the appeal of televised conductors. Pauline Frederick, NBC analyst, was set to speak at the Friday banquet. The base of a home garden, the American Association of Nurserymen said, ties homes to their landscapes.

Your First Robin Just Forget It
Michigan conservation experts debunk the idea of a true first robin of spring. They note robins are migratory birds but some stay year round in the north, and winter robins often hide in barns rather than cities.

Cooling Trees Create Cool Shade At Davis Campus
A UC Davis study shows a tree’s shadow can drop bare ground temperature by over 30 degrees in five minutes. Assistant professor Robert B. Deering explains leaves turn toward the sun to capture energy, creating shade and a large, cooler air mass beneath. Shrubs and grass also aid cooling, each blade acting as a tiny evaporative cooler.
