'Reader 00 irnonsi Voter Resents Muskie SnieaF Pixie a By MOIWIS E. PETERSON would appreciate an opportunity to comment; Muskle's remarks, against. Gov. Wallace and Implied against the nalkmlllion voters', who supported Gov. Wallace In Florida primary, remarks that Gov.

Wallace (supporters' implied) are; demagogue of the, worst possible. threat.to country shows how 'far, out of touch Senator Muskie is with the. will of the, people on major issues. Muskie should remember that in this great country the Will of the! people will rbe" heard and that (xmucians are. eiectea oy tne people to represent the will the people.

He has accused a large Vmaj'ofity citizens Florida "of, being mhumaneandjaihreat "to the country in that he (accused Wallace. Humphrey beat Muskie two to one. all of those, people who differ Mustae are'lnhumanef'Vweats the country," and etc. of the people of Florida who voted that are humane. I personally resent his remarks which imply that so many Florida Voters are ItKreat to the country hvihat they voted for Gov.

Wallace. I served in the Vk: Navy, was honorably'' discharged. I 'have held one of our' nations top security clearances for over 17 years, have never been arrested, never been unemployed, neverj received any' form of welfare or financial aid from the government, I have never, cheated on my income, tax I invite DBS to audit nie for any year I have ever worked). Furthermore, I am paying for my own higher1 education through college, courses and correspondance. Even though I qualify for the G.I.

Bill and a tuition payment plan from' my employer 1 have hot' accepted either. At the same time I voted in favor of the If sue to provide assistance to students who need help. 1 need not go on boasting about paying my own way in society. However, I do believe I have a right to express my vote and Gov. Wallace has a right to run for president without being' accused by a trash mouth remark such as being.

a threat' to the country. I am the kind of people who vote, for Wallace. If I or Wallace', am a threat to this challenge Muskie to prove It In a court of rqan 'ofvhis if. intelligence.must know the proper steps to take legal action against a threat to our country. If why would he want the Presidency? God bless America, especially Wallace.

Radio Programming Missing Potentials By ELMER C. Merrltt Island etnrthe 40s; wherrlTTO doing, sound 'effects and riding gain, radio4roadcastlng was a giant Industry.

(Many Claim radio employed, at inai time, more people than TV does now.) Then commercial TV came along and radio station staffs were gobbled up by TV. Radio engineers, announcers and otter personnel were at a premium.

While'' reeling from the; advent; of a man in a suit from" 1Cyenue came along and' knocked radio to jts knees, with some biased surveys. "Radio is dead" Madison Avenue cried, "put your advertising dollars into TV." Sponsors flocked to and network tadio starved to a shadow of its former greatness while Madison Avenue fees Programming for even, most prestigious radio: stations dropped to that of the low power daytlrae.broadcasters; fend has risen only slightly since. Those biasecU telephone. isuryeyi deliberately slanted to prove that there was wMonger a radio' listening, audneice. But everyone believed! Radio Jwoadcasters genuflect to ech Madison Avenue pronouncement designed to keep radio a poor TftlfltlVC TC 'One of Madison.

Hcfnnlnu audience: In' January of this yearj my; wife who was: alone in the house at the. time, had the terrifying experience of awaking In thev of the night the house on fire J.

After two unsuccessful attempts, she managed to escape from the smoke, filled. house, reach our neighbor and phone; the lire, department. In: her own, words, before She had time to put the phone down, she heard the Indialantic fire alarm' sound, and by the time she walked of the neighbor's house the police had arrived and she" could hear the fire truck coming, The fire; was quickly brought' under control. There was no water" damage, the rugs were removebV before any unnecessary tracking and thT house was swept and mopped before the firemen left. I think the most embarrassing thing was that the Indialantic fire trucks were manned by those neighbors and friends.

Needless to say I pro a 1 'will, continue extolling the same dubious virtues of bur city of, Indialantic govern but if efficiency is a reflection of good sity government, all: of us that 'live "in Indialantic can. feel mighty proud; of our city government, fire department and police department. jhdnFeapecU For bicenseBill ,7 A i f. 1' x'i vzmtmmaam: '1 Ul 4KSL JKr rMp Tr fry TODAY, Taesday, March 21. 1972 Poems Reads TODAY Wirt SnVtcM Eugene McCarthy, the presidential cam "pai read poetry to about 3Q0 persons fund raising Sunday night, in Madison, Wis', The former Minnesota senator read some ofV his poetry and that of Abraham Lincoln, and Mao Tse tung, making light of' his own Mcvartny said ne ran for president in 1968 "just fTGDAY'sT to get my poetry publish VNames and Faces cu, nun lti(V AAAVMUO urging me to become politically active."
