SUNDAY NEWS THE TU WEEK 1 July 9-15. 1972 Commun'Kate? ubjed By KAY GARDELLA HowW A i 4 vv I- cr, ti Vjl ft I 1 In -'ffinfri in mill TTTTT-Tnirf main ARE YOU having trouble communicating lately? Is there a member of the family you can't reach, or a boss who doesn't understand you? Are you, like so many others, lost in a fog of rhetoric and. does the word communication suddenly turn you off? Then the man to talk to is producer-director Roger Graef. Graef is responsible for a series of five programs scheduled to start on Public Broadcasting Service stations including Ch. 13 tomorrow night at 10, entitled "The Space Between Words." The first program will be on the "Family" and the other four, to be seen on consecutive Friday nights starting July 14, will deal with "School," "Work," "Politics" and "Diplomacy." The young filmmaker, who is London based and who produced the series for KCET in Los Angeles in cooperation with the British Broadcasting said the series is designed to point out the difficulties people have in communicating with each other.

"What I wanted to do," said Graef, "was to cut through all the cliches, encounter groups and the like, where people just talk about communication, and present five examples of real communications a family, a teacher with a class, management and workers, politicians, and diplomats." "What actually is the space between words?" Graef was asked. Don't Assume "I'll tell you what it is," he said. the assumptions we make when we are talking to each other. It's assuming someone understands when, in fact, they don't always. It's assuming that someone is picking up your gestures, your references, and the fact that the relationship has been of long duration so therefore a person must automatically understand.

It's also the assumption of common experience." Graef, who thinks the idea of communications has become debased, tried to remain objective on the programs by not introducing any of his own theories on the subject As he explained, every kind of human conflict, from revolutionary upheaval to racial hatred, has been conveniently dismissed as "communications failure." So what he hopes to do, he said, is bring the argument into the realm of reality, in five places where communication appears to be taking place. Family Falls Apart In the segment on the family, Graef said, he had a family therapist do the interviewing of the English family selected. From all outer appearances it was a normal group, except for one troublesome child. "Then," said Graef, "everything fell apart. "The very nice looking, intelligent group we selected to film at home suddenly had hidden problems.

The problem boy, for instance, was from the mother's previous marriage. He's 15 and he steals and he has a sister as well. It turns out that the children were never told when the first marriage was on the rocks. In fact the divorce took place before the children knew about it. Kids Lied "What the children had been told," said Graef, "was that Daddy has gone away on business trips.

So during the family session all this comes out and you learn that the boy has been resentful all along and that he missed his first father. This leads to all kinds of other discoveries and there is a powerful tearing apart of the group." For another one of the programs, the one on "Work," Graef said, "we picked an electronics factory, one that was very 'School" segment of the PBS series, The Maggie is a teacher featured in the 1 16, is seen in the Family episode. they're together in the same game. It' what's understood between them that is the subject of the telecast." One on 'Diplomacy' In it's the same concept, Graef said. "At the United Nations, for instance, we would hear stories about the American and Russian diplomats fighting for six hours in public, and afterward dining together.

It was the same situation with the Syrians and the Israelis. Publicly they have to be against each other, and their words are against each other. But understood is the fact Space Between Words, while Colin, quiet and peaceful with no apparent problems. To the management we said: 'You tell us what we should film. So a productivity scheme was chosen.

We stayed and filmed it for one month and this nice, harmless idea had produced so much fear and tension in the workers that they were going to go out on strike. The whole thing just blew up." For "Politics" Graef filmed a political debate between former Attorney General John Mitchell and Sen. Walter F. Mondale Said Graef: "Where the space between words comes in is they both know the limits of what they could expect. They're both politicians.

They both know the game. And maybe while the words they are using are against each other, they're both part of the rules, (Continued on page 18 Leisure) WCBS 2 WTNH 8 WNYE 75 WTIC 3 WOR 9 WNYC 31 WNBC 4 WPIX 11 WXTV 41 WNEW 5 WNET 13 WNJU 47 WA8C 7 WLIW 21 Outstanding Programs Are in Heavy Type (R)-Repeat TODAY'S PROGRAMS MORNING 6:30 4 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION PREVIEW; John Chancellor, David Brinkley, anchormen. 5 Saint; Roger Moore. 7, 8 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION PREVIEW; Howard K.
