Broadcasting Jen 23 7978 10 These are some of the people to ask when you have questions about Gulf. Finding, producing and transporting energy are complicated jobs. Sometimes the reasons we do things one way instead of another, or do one thing instead of another, aren't clear to anybody outside the business. But the people and the press have a right to know what we're doing and how it will affect them. So Gulf Oil Corporation has an elaborate system for supply- ing answers to questions about our company. The people in the picture are just a few of the people who are in charge of Gulf Public Affairs offices in various parts of the country. Below there is a list of names and phone numbers of the Gulf people to call when you need information. We hope you'll use the system, because probably one of the most important challenges we have to meet is maintaining a free and open dialogue with the press.

Man's best friends.

For more than 20 years, WKZO -TV has been televising Kalamazoo County Humane Society programs. The result has been an increased community awareness of the so often overlooked problem of stray and mistreated animals. Because of WKZO -TV's special sensitivity to the needs of Kalamazoo County's animal population, the Humane Society recently expressed their appreciation for the station's help. The Society honored WKZO -TV for "the many words and pictures over the years" which "played a vital role in furthering the Humane movement in Kalamazoo County." Focusing attention on the problems of those unable to speak for themselves is all part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.

Broadcasting Jan 23 1978 30 said, the next stop could be barring newspapers from such ownership "everywhere." And as for the argument that a rule designed to promote diversity serves the goal of the First Amendment, he said, "The First Amendment is a shield, not a sword to promote diversity." Furthermore, Mr. Griswold said, even if the constitutional issue is not reached, the commission cannot be assumed to have the authority to adopt such a rule; Con- gress, he said, has not delegated to the commission the authority to regulate newspapers. And in response to questions from Griswold Armstrong Justice Byron White, Mr. Griswold laid out the traditional argument for regulating broadcasting, which does not apply to newspapers: "The limitation of the spectrum" they use -a limitation to which newspapers are not subject. The spectrum - scarcity rationale has been accepted by the Supreme Court in a number of cases, including the one in which the commission's fairness doctrine was affirmed (BROAD- CASTING, June 16, 1969). As solicitor general in 1969, Mr. Griswold argued before the court in behalf of the doctrine.

The selection of J. Leonard Reinsch to receive the 1978 Dis- tinguished Service Award of the National Association of Broad- casters :s a belated recognition of a career that should have been honored long ago. It is also an indication that broadcasters may be outgrowing a neurotic fear of cable. Matching Mr. Reinsch's record against that of several DSA re,. cipients who come to mind suggests how large a handicap he has carried into NAB councils when, before retirement, he headed both the broadcasting and cable operations of the Cox Broadcast- ing Corp. To the conventional broadcasters who tend to dominate NAB affairs, cable has been thought of as the enemy.
