Littman. the executive director of the Fulbright Commission of West Germany, addressed a group of about 150 persons during a topic luncheon Thursday. He said the communist aura surrounding the West German peal i movement is inaccurate, because the news media has failed to look beyoi d "the accounts of dishonest German journalists" and has concentrated .it- tention on violent demonstrtions. To fully understand the movement, he said, reporters need tee 1 <i< hind the scenes and learn some social history They also need to know the country's people and understand their motives But because of time limitations and sensationalist accounts on the part of German journalists, American people have been grossly misled to b( lieve Germans are completely hostile toward Americans and that the Euro pean anti-nuclear movement is fueled by Communist subjects "We're living in an era where the mass media is charged with a re­ sponsibility which it can meet with limited success Also, the publii ceiving news from politically opinionated sources.
