New school is opened
Leroy Chittendon, Parsons senior and coordinator for the radical education course in the Free University, began operation of a day care center Monday.
Someday School, located in the education wing of the Centenary Methodist Church at 4th and Elm St., has an enrollment of six.
The center is staffed by Chittendon, two full time staff members and 15 volunteers from his class.
He said he felt there was a community need for this day care center, and it also provided a chance to teach how children learn.

Wells was introduced to the committee by Senator James Pearson. He was questioned on two points: Whether he had divested himself of all interest in the Harris Group stations where he was broadcast supervisor and whether he felt his active participation in broadcasting would prejudice his decisions.
Wells told the senators his experience would be an interest rather than a liability. "I will be fair to the public interest without favor to the broadcasting industry." Wells said. He also said he had disposed of his interest in the Harris stations.
Wells will become the first man chosen from the ranks of broadcasters to help regulate the industry.
Wells has let it be known in
private that he feels the FCC should be tough with radio-TV operators who take advantage of their licenses.
An intoxicating new adult game!

Besides being a publisher and a program supervisor, Wells serves on the Radio Code Board of the National Association of Broadcasters and has served two terms as president of the Kansas Association of Radio Broadcasters.
In 1963, he was cited by the
KU Radio-Television-Film department as the "Outstanding Broadcaster in Kansas." Bruce Linton, director of the department, said Wells is "the finest broadcaster in the state" and said his community service is superior.
Confirmation of Wells appointment is expected within the week. He will fill the final two years of a seven year term vacated by James J. Wadsworth
who has moved to another post. Wells will assume his position in January.
Robert Griffin, Republican senator from Michigan and a member of the Commerce Committee, said he favors a number of broadcasters on the FCC and felt that one broadcaster would provide the commission with some experience and working knowledge of the broadcast industry.
