Page 6 — Griffin Daily News Thursday, February 24, 1977 Meany wants public tv to use U. S. actors MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - George Meany has nothing against Shakespeare. But he believes that if the British playwright’s works are to be shown on public television, the actors should be American. The issue is a sample of growing tensions between organized labor and an institution of which it has long been a supporter — non-commercial, publicly funded television. At the same time, the unions are questioning a key slice of public television’s support — the sponsorship of high-quality, prime-time programs by major U.S. corporations. A statement adopted Wednesday by the AFL-CIO Executive Council during its winter meeting expressed concern that “too little attention has been paid to the influence which corporate sponsors or so-called ‘underwriters’ wield over the system.” The council also said that since Congress “meant for public broad casting to encourage greater American creativity, we are troubled by the steadily increasing use of foreign-pro duced material which now dominates major prime-time programming.” The dispute began last year after the Corporation for Public Broadcasting decided to spend $1.2 million of federal money to produce a series of Shake spearean plays entirely in Britain for Amin charges Uganda under invasion threat NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - President Idi Amin’s regime said today an invasion force was reported in Tanzania six miles from the Ugandan border. Radio Uganda said a military spokesman warned that if the Tanzanians “attempt to enter Ugandan territory by even an inch,’’ Amin’s armed forces, “particularly the marines and air force, would strike deep” into Tanzania in retaliation. However, the spokesman, be lieved to be Amin himself, said the border would remain open and there was no cause for alarm. Uganda’s relations with Tan zania have been strained since Amin seized power six years ‘Foot stomper’ strikes again ATLANTA (AP) - It’s no hand-clappin', foot-stompin’ fun when Atlanta’s “foot stomper” strikes.

Additional funds for the planned 36- part series were to come from Exxon and from Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. Meany, the AFL-ClO’s 82-year-old president, protested in a letter last December to CPB Chairman Henry Loomis, saying “the decision cannot be justified artistically or economically. “There are thousands of unemployed American performers and craft per sonnel who could match or exceed the work of their contemporaries in other countries,” Meany said. “Highly successful Shakespearean productions in the United States prove there is no artistic deficiency in this country.” The AFL-CIO says it will ask Congress to restrict the way in which corporations can give money to public TV. Presently, companies like Mobil Oil and Exxon often underwrite the cost of such programs as “Upstairs, Down stairs" and the “Forsyte Saga,” and freely publicize their support. The AFL CIO contends that these tax-deductible gifts amount to taypayer subsidy of corporate institutional advertising. The restriction sought by the AFL CIO would require any corporate funds donated to public TV be for general purposes, not tied to a specific program. ago from President Milton Obote, and President Julius Nyerere gave Obote asylum in Tanzania. Amin’s forces fought a brief and successful war in September 1972 against 1,000 of Obote’s supporters from Tan zania. This week the Ugandan dictator accused Nyerere of helping Obote in the plot against him in which Amin charged the Anglican archbishop of Uganda and two Ugandan cabinet ministers were involved. Amin claimed that the arch bishop, Janani Luwum, and the two ministers were killed in an automobile wreck last week after their arrest. But there have been numerous uncon firmable reports that they were the victim’s foot and then runs. His targets have all been women. One had to be treated at a hospital. His stomping ground never changes. It’s on the sidewalk near Alabama and Broad streets in downtown Atlanta. murdered. Amin told foreign correspondents in Kampala on Wednesday that plans for the plot against him called for paratroopers from the United States, Britain and Israel to be airlifted from an aircraft carrier and dropped into key Ugandan towns. The U. S. State Department said the charge was absurd. The broadcast today said men in the Ugandan army from the Langi and Acholi tribes were recruited to direct the invading forces and help them capture military and government installations. Ugandan refugees arriving in Tanzania on Wednesday reported that Amin, who belongs to the Moslem Kakwa tribe, has launched a massacre of the two Christian tribes in which thousands have been slaughtered. The Nairobi Standard report ed today that Archbishop Lu wum’s widow and five children arrived in the north Kenyan border town of Kisumu after a “hazardous journey from Kam pala.” But an Anglican church spokesman in Kisumu said Mrs. Luwum had not contacted church officials there.
