THE BATTALION
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1979
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Americans do
not blame the news media for the
negative feelings some people have
of Vietnam veterans but, in fact,
think the soldiers were portrayed
favorably, according to a new Harris
poll released Saturday.
Some 68 percent of the public said
things they saw, read and heard ab
out Vietnam veterans gave them a
favorable impression, according to
the poll, conducted at the request of
President Carter and the Veterans
Administration.
Only 25 percent report that things
they saw, read and heard from the
news media gave them an unfavor
able impression of the veterans.
The section on public perceptions
on the role of the news media is part
of a larger survey of a 1,200-person
representative sample conducted by
Lou Harris and Associates on atti
tudes toward Vietnam era veterans.
Despite the general finding that
Americans got a favorable impress
ion of the soldiers from their news
papers and television stations, the
survey said, there are “some impor
tant differences in how the public
perceives the television coverage of
both the war and the veterans who
fought in it emerge from the data.
“For example, overall, 40 percent
of the public believe that the televi
sion news stories they have seen ab
out the war in Vietnam gave a fairly
realistic picture of the violence
there, 14 percent believe that these
stories exaggerated the violence,
and 34 percent believe that these
stories underplayed the extent of the
actual violence in that conflict.
However, these opinions are far
from uniform.”
The poll said young people tend to
feel television news reporting of the
war understated the violence and
drug use, while older people feel
that the major networks tended to
focus more than necessary on events
such as the My Lai massacre and the
use of hard drugs.
The survey said respondents with
better educations and those living in
households whose heads are em
ployed in better jobs “are significant
ly more likely to report that the im
pressions given them of Vietnam era
veterans have been negative than
are their less priviledged counter
parts.”
It said age is “strongly correlated”
with the degree to which the public
is likely to feel that television news
coverage exaggerated or underplay
ed the killing of innocent civilians by
Americans.
Hua the first Chinese communist
premier or party chairman from Chi
na to officially tour the West.
He concluded his visit to France,
Britain, West Germany and Italy
when he left Rome Tuesday. But he
stopped en route home at Urumqi in
China’s Xinjiang Province on
Wednesday to rest from jet lag be
fore continuing home to Peking.
$20.2 million deficit
Vatican reveals debt
United Press International
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II, fearing that “myths” of
immense wealth damage the church’s image, has ordered the partial
lifting of secrecy that has shrouded Vatican finances for 2,000 years.
The Vatican Friday announced a 1979 budget deficit of $20.2 mil
lion.
No figures were released on activities of the Vatican bank, the
annual Peter’s Pence collections or on the Vatican’s vast holdings,
estimated at up to $38 billion in choice real estate and priceless art
treasures.
The unprecedented disclosure of a deficit was made Friday in a
communique marking the end of a historic five-day congress of the
College of Cardinals — the first such gathering of church princes in 400
years.
“If spending continues to increase at the present rate, particularly
through increased inflation and the cost of living, and if revenues
remain at the present level, the Holy See could be in serious difficulty
within the next few years,” the statement said.

DWI trial
to begin
United Press International
CORPUS CHRIST! — The
often-delayed drunk driving trial
of Selma police chief and city
manager Tom Holland is sche
duled again this week, barring
any further postponements.
This time the trial, which has
been delayed three times for va
rious reasons, is scheduled for
Tuesday in Corpus Christi on a
change of venue. The last time it
was supposed to start, it was in
Victoria on a change of venue.
Bexar County-Court-at-Law
Judge Rose Spector is presiding
in the case in which Holland was
arrested last Dec. 13 in the San
Antonio suburb of Live Oak.
Holland presides over a repu
ted speed trap in Selma, also a
San Antonio suburb, which has
earned the small town the nick
name of “Valley of the Bears”
among citizen’s band operators.
