A8 Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1561 HONOLULU ADVERTISER Fugitive Gels In Wrong Car New Nations Weak In Commnnication .1 DARTMOOR, England (UPI) A Dartmoor prisoner sneaked away from a working party yesterday, climbed over the prison wall to the main highway, and flagged down a passing automobile. The car stopped and the fugitive got in. But instead of going past the prison, gates, the car turned in. The driver was an off-duty prison guard.

'm ii By STEVE BARTLETT Too little use is made of mass communications media in many countries trying desperately to develop themselves, communications expert Wilbur Schramm said here yesterday. In a paper presented at the East-West Center communications seminar, Schramm I SCHRAMM I Shaffer gives McDanicl the Mart's contest answer. At right, prizes. Holsday Market: A New Approach co-directors of the seminar, which will run through Sept. 11.

AT THE OPENING session, Schramm remarked that the subject of the conference "is one of the most important topics in the present world." He quol3d the leader of an African nation as saying: "We can't tell the people what they need to know, and they can't tell us what we need to know." Schramm said: "We have marvelous technical devices (for communication). What we don't have is enough knowledge as to how people can use them This is a people-to-people problem." WEIDNER noted that researchers in his Institute of Advanced Projects have puzzled over practical problems of communications in national development, such as persuading villagers in an Asian nation to use new wells for drinking water instead of the stream which it is their custom to use. It is the task of the seminar to analyze these practical cases, formulate general descriptions of them, prescribe solutions to communications problems and finally to recommend programs for national development. Land Use Regulations pointed out that radio "leaps literacy barriers and swallows distance and has the ability to support a field program very powerfully." Yet, he said: "In East and Central Africa, for example, I saw little evidence of any burning wish to use radio or television for development tasks." SCHRAMM is professor of international communication and director of the Institute for Communication Research at Stanford University. He is one of 16 top scholars and administrators in the communications field who have gathered here from Asia, the Malnlan the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii, conferring for a month under the auspices of the Center's Institute of Advanced Projects.

Schramm said the primary functions of communication in any society primitive or modern are to inform the people, to promote the decision-making process and to teach citizens what they must know in order to conform to the social ways. THE QUESTION facing conference delegates has been described this way: In the struggle to help half the world raise its standard cf living, how are the attitudes cf whole populations to be changed so that behavior will become suitably modern? at Massachusetts Institute were welcomed by Thomas H. Hamilton, president of the University and acting chancellor of the Center, and by Edward W. Weidner, chief dependent businessmen with their own inventories.

There are four districts created under the Lar.d Use Law: urban, agricultural, conservation and rural.
