Description:
The official newsletter of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) -- the predecessor to NPR, PBS, the CPB. Led primarily by faculty and staff at large Midwestern universities, the NAEB envisioned uses of broadcasting to improve society and educate both children and adults. The newsletter chronicles the NAEB's activities in advocating to the FCC for educational stations to obtain greater access to the public airwaves, coordinating the distribution of educational recordings, and planning the production of ambitious programs, such as 'People Under Communism' and 'The Jeffersonian Heritage,' which starred Claude Rains as Thomas Jefferson. This newsletter was digitized as part of the 'Unlocking the Airwaves' project, a collaboration among the University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Wisconsin Historical Society, with funding from the NEH. -- Stephanie Sapienza & Eric Hoyt, 2019.

. 2 - This morning (Thursday, January 28) at 8 o’clock I received the following telegram from hr., Jensen. (This telegram* you will note, deals with the suggestions made in my recent bulletin relative to the questionnaire being sent to all educational in¬ stitutions asking for immediate return to idie Commission. Please note his sugges¬ tion and govern your replies accordingly.) The telegram reads as follows: "QUES¬ TION FIFTEEN OF LICENSE APPLICATIONS REQUIRES STATEMENT OF TIME ALLOTTED TO VARIOUS KINDS OF SERVICE INTERPRETATION SUGGESTED IN YOUR BULLETIN IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH AFFIDAVIT IN LICENSE APPLICATION SUGGEST INSTEAD EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH IN QUESTION¬ NAIRE SHOWING EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF CIVIC AGRICULTURAL AND MUSICAL PROGRAMS." Rapid fire action will be needed in the course of the next few weeks to protect the interests of educational broadcasting. Kindly watch developments and give as much attention and thought as "possible to the many problems developing in stations at the present time. Very truly yours T. M. Beaird, Executive Secretary for association
