Survey Reveals High Newspaper Readership Not only does almost everyone read a daily newspaper but subscribers accord important attention to its contents. This is dux! in a recent survey by Dr. Leo Bogart, executive vice-president of the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers Association. According to Dr. Bosarfs findings, 77 per cent of all adults over Is years of age read the daily newspaper on the average weekday.

Contingent upon the size of the issue, they spend from 30 to 45 minutes with the newspaper tc which they subscribe, he indicates. Applicable to newspapers with both Saturday and Sunday issues, an even higher readership is accorded over weekends, the survey indicates. On the basis of the study, Dr. Bogart estimates 84 per cent of the readers look at every page in an issue. The survey discloses that the exposure to advertising copy in an issue of a daily newspaper results in definite attention to its contents.

On the basis of its present circulation of 6,361, both the news and advertising content of the Greensburg Daily News reaches an audience of over 24,000 adults and young people over 18 years of age. Among the important phases of newspaper services are the classified ads, which gain high readership. It can be also pointed out that a newspaper with the number of pages of The Greensburg Daily News has a higher readership than newspapers with an expanded number of pages. The survey by Dr. Bogart depicts the fact that newspapers experience high readership and that they provide the most effective medium for use in presenting an advertising message.

The Hoosier Mr. White Federal Fund: Have Strings Bv DONALD D. WHITE Dallas Coache NEW YORK (UPI) W. McCann 64, a commentator on WOR Alfred food radio Homicide Total Hits 500 in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (UPI) The city's homicide total has reached 500 for the first time in history. Police reported the 500th killing of the year occurred Thursday night when Jerry Lee Lewis, 26, was shot in the head in his home.

Homicide detectives said the previous high for one year was 475 in 1971. They blamed the increase mainly on the abolishment of the death penalty, the rise in juvenile gang murders and "lower moral standards." LEGISLATION BY coercion may be nearing an end, helped its rightful grave by the prospect of revenue sharing. During recent legislative sessions, the General Assembly requently faced the decision to enact certain legislation or lose certain federal funds. The 1972 session was under a deadline, already being judged guilty of not providing enough welfare unds. Relaxed standards had to )e enacted prior to April or the state would lose some $32 mil- ion.

A state law loosely regulating billboard advertising signs was said not to be strict enough to meet federal standards. Act or ose 10 per cent of our Highway funds. And so it goes with most ederally supported programs. Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb received criticism when he dropped out of one program rather than pad state payrolls with unneeded employes who could not be retained when the federal dole was expended.

He pointed to the fact that bookkeeping requirements and compliance with other rules would cost the state more than received. Superintendent of Public Instruction John J. Loughlin salvaged some of the federal dollars, having his office certified under the employment program. THE GENERAL Assembly has appointed a task force to study welfare, and to determine how many more state dollars would be required if we "wenl it alone." It would save in many instances, since federal requirements do not permit a close enough check of applicants to prevent fraud. It would also lead to a Supreme Court case, charging unequal treatment under the law.

Citizens of all other states remaining in the federal system would be able to obtain their rights" to welfare payments on a different set of standards than if they lived in Indiana. FEDERALLY FUNDED programs have not been a "howling" success. At least revenue funds, with few if any restrictions on local governments place the solution in the same place as the problem. It violates a basic concept that the one raising the money should spend the money, but that was gone long ago even with the federa strings on the funds. Since 1960 nearly $177 billion in federal grants have been fun neled to local and state govern ments to solve specific prob lems.

We are spending some $75 billion a year on programs alleviate poverty. If the mone; was channeled directly to those classified as "poor" under So cial Security standards, it wouli divide into some $3,000 per man woman or child, or $12,000 for a family of four. And we callec Senator George McGovern era zy for a proposal to give to every individual at the pover ty level. The welfare program is so ogged down with red tape, Dopholes permitting fraud and igh paid civil service employes supervise, little trickles down he pipeline to those deserving. In the five-year period lead- ng up to 1970, annual education nd manpower funds rose from 1 billion to more than $4 bil- on, while community development and housing funds in- reased from $576 million to $2.5 illion.

Entrenched bureaucrats made more progress hi advanc- ng jobs than any dent they made in the housing problems. MOST FEDERAL funded pro rams have the same degree of oubtful success. Since 1952 the umber of farms and the popu- ation working in agriculture ave shrunk almost in half, umbering nine million in 1955 nd down to less than 4.5 mil- on. In 1952 the U. S.

Department of Agriculture had 64,000 mployes to regulate and super- ise farm programs. In 1971, with less than half the number active farmers, the department had 84,000 employes, with request for another 3,000 in- our IV.

Incumbent W. A. "Tony" Boyle was opposed by reformist candidate Arnold R.

Miller in the federally-supervised election that ended Friday. Asked to assess the voter turnout, a Labor Department spokesman said a "substantial" number of the union members cast ballots.

Past the one minute mark tension began to mount as spectators braced themselves for the visual and emotional impact of the blastoff. Then just at 30 seconds before the planned liftoff the unscheduled "hold" went into effect, triggered by an automatic countdown sequence computer, which had detected a faulty electronic circuit.

While spectators watched and wondered, space technicians tackled the problem. Two hours and 40 minutes later Apollo 17 was on the llth and last of the $25 billion Apollo series that pu man on the moon in 1969. Astronauts Eugene A. Cer nan, Ronald E.

Exciting studies are being reported from all over the world about these remarkable hormone-like compounds that are being identified in almost every tissue of the body. At first, they aroused only scientific curiosity. Now, they may play a great role in many of the important ills of man.

Dangerous blood clots, high blood pressure, severe inflammation, and even problems of fertility a be affected by these startling substances. The horizon of enthusiasm seems to be almost limitless. Already some of the prostaglandin compounds are being released in selective cases for use in hospitals and in clinics.
