Comments by Industry leaders made It clear that the auto makers are seething wtlh Indignation at some of the The whole idea or the cartoon was that even though the villain stole all the presents and other presentations of Christmas In material form, the spirit of the day was still dominant over the commercial aspects with the people, I haven't read a great, many of Dr, Seuss' stories, but it's always reassuring to meet an optimist, or at least an optimistic adaptation. Oh Saturday night, (here was a half hour of high camp on NBC TV entitled "Christmas with Lome Greene." Every Imaginable cliche of holiday programming was thrown into tlits broadcast fireplace, dog, huge Hollywood style living room, embarrassing greeting card typo monologue, Mr. Greene sang and also intoned, which is his substitute for speaking. He also was assisted by the UNICEF children's choir. I suppose one should have been touched by all this, but I thought the children sang terribly, sounding like one big nasal noise.

'Dazzling Opportunity' Seen For GOP in New 90th Congress BUICKS ARE A SPIRITED LOT! Automobiles for Sale 11 By KICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD (UPI) The telev slon networks haven't done much in recent years with children's shows, but their Juvenile programming Is almost Incomparable. One of the favorite network practices Is to gut a "classic" story for youngsters a "classic" being almost anything that Is purchasable and convert It Into an animated musical cartoon.

Such a vehicle is then repeated season after season and Is evolved by the network pitchmen Into a "tradition," Thus are traditions born these days. The latest entry Into this area, "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch stole Christmas," based on a story by the famous writer of children's tales, was presented as a half hour special on CBS TV Sunday night. Apparently CBS TV spent more than $300, OCO on this cartoon, which Is more than the yearly budget of some educational television stations. The large sum is of course quite flattering to Dr.

Seuss and his charming stories for the young set, but it also makes one wonder why the networks, who are simply rolling in money, can't come up with modest totals for regular, daily children's series. As for Sunday night's presentation, well, I am realty pretty much at a loss over how to review a children's cartoon, and the truth is that I don't have much interest in improving myself In this area. So far as I could tell, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which dealt with a villain who tried to slop the Yuie day from coming to a village, was probably as good as most of the Other holiday cartoons, I can't see why anybody would dislike it unless perhaps some purist IMS PLYMOUTH Valiant, automatic transmission, still under warranty.

General Motors has made no comment. None of the automakers criticized the general objectives of the 33 But they have strongly criticized the technical specifications set down for Implementing them. Ford said Hat for some there was not evan an engineering answer available. American Motors Corp. Vice President Victor Ravlolo singled out several items.

The windshield wiper standards, for example, require that the wipers be motor driven and to operate at a "substantially constant AMC is tha only American auto company still using a vacuum driven wiper which wipes at a maximum of 90 times a minute, and a minimum 70 times a minute when the car is under acceleration. Raviolo questioned whether the term "motor driven" means AMC must change to electric motors or If not, wliether a difference between 90 maximum and 10 minimum In the wiping times could quality as "substantially constant speed." Ha also pointed to the technical specifications for seat belt anchorages requiring that they be located at least 15 inches apart. "There is no evidence In our experience to show that 15 Inches separation is better than six Inches or five inches," Raviolo said. if taken literally, he contended, the standard would call for redesign and retooling ot the floor structure, which would not now be practical until the 1S69 models. And he said that even SO, there would be no Improvement In real safety.

Wkkendon, Cashier said Sunday, Is public resentment over "too much Washington" and fear of loss of personal freedom In the crush of Great Society programs that have brought ever widening federal involvement in local affairs. The bipartisan, liberally oriented committee said the GOP's "dazzling opportunity" lies in the House, where the party gained scats in the November elections. "The Republicans can make a serious bid, not by out promising the Democrats, but by trying to discover new ways of sU'uc luring the program; not by opposing government assistance, but by reorganizing it, and strengthening responsibility and authority in the local and stale administrations," the committee said. "Clearly the Republicans are working an authentic vein of public discontent," it said, although party realists see no mandate to dismantle the Great Society. Democrats such as Maine Sen.
