Page 6 University Daily Kansan Friday, May 11, 1962 Broads, Bosoms On TV Inspected WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A Senator and a television network president differed today over whether the phrase "broads, bosoms and fun" meant there should be more sex in television programs to boost their ratings. BUT AUBREY TOLD the subcommittee the phrase should not be taken to mean he wanted lascivious sex put into the programs. Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn. chairman of the Senate juvenile delinquency subcommittee, said the phrase originated with CBS-Television President James T. Aubrey Jr. He read material which he called a "shocking revelation" that the highest officers of CBS-TV made a "clear attempt" to inject prurient sex into a program, "Route 66," to bolster its rating. "Sex is a broad and encompassing word which can be used in many, many, ways," he said. He added that show people use it to describe a variety of things, including the relationship of parent and child or "even the wav people walk." The "broads, bosoms and fun" phrase was in an inter-office memorandum subpoenaed from the files of CBS-TV. The memorandum was read in part by Dodd as part of his subcommittee's investigation of the impact, if any, of action-adventure programs on the behavior of juveniles. AT ISSUE TODAY was the hour- long program, "Route 66." Dodd said the program was a violent show from the beginning and that three of six advertising agencies criticized it for brutality when it was shown on a pilot basis in April, 1960. The said one agency, The Storer Broadcasting Company, protested the show's excessive violence and brutality to CBS. The Senator quoted the broadcasting company as saying "there seems no doubt that the TV code was violated in this show and audience sensibilities completely disregarded." Aubrey testified that "no one in CBS wanted more sex in this program." ACCORDING TO DODD, Abrey threatened to take "Route 66" off the air because of erratic ratings in April, 1961. He cited a letter written by Herbert Leonard, executive producer of the show, to John Mitchell, vice president of Screen Gems, the program supplier. The letter said in part: "when we met with Jim Aubrey, you probably remember his saying; 'put the boys in nice surroundings, put a sexy dame in each picture and make a 77 Sunset Strip if that's what's necessary — but give me sex and action.'" Aubrey was summoned to explain a four-page inter-office memorandum from which Dodd quoted. THE DOCUMENT quoting Aubrey was written Jan. 5, 1961, by Howard G. Barnes, director of programs for CBS-TV in Hollywood, to Guy Dolla-Cioppa, CBS TV's vice president for programs. Both men reportedly have resigned. Barnes reviewed for Dolla-Cioppa the progress made in filming episodes for "Route 66." "For a one line critique in summary of the stories to date. I should like to say that they are a far cry from Mr. Aubrey's dietum of 'broads, bosoms, and fun,'" Barnes wrote. THE MEMO RECALLED that Aubrey had made clear in "unmistakable" terms that he wanted the scripts written in a way that would "gain strength on the air and attract a considerably larger audience." One episode, Barnes said, involved an elderly rancher in love with his ward, "a young, hyper-sexy 'baby doll' character" who throws herself at every available man. Barnes continued: "I must acknowledge that 'baby doll' has a more than generous share of bosom, amply displayed... and wears over a pair of very high spiked heels the tightest pair of slacks ever to be entered by woman-kind without mechanical assistance." Iruman, an Active 78, Takes 14-Block Walk NEW YORK —(UPI) —Former President Truman, still "walking for pleasure" at age 78, took a brisk 14-block stroll today. Flanked by the usual squadron of newsmen, the former President considered the following subjects, among others: - Mayor Robert F. Wagner's "irrevocable" decision not to run for governor: "I never heard of an irrevocable decision." ● Billy Sol Estes: "I'm not interested in Billy Sol Estes. I don't give a damn what happens to him. Let Texas take care of it." - Resumption of nuclear testing: "I never wanted it stopped. How are you going to use it for peaceful purposes if you don't know how it works?" - Should the legal drinking age in New York be raised to 21? : "The longer the youngsters hold off, the better off they will be. I didn't have anything stronger than water until I was 34." - Should the voting age be lowered?: "No. It would be better to raise it to 25 than to lower it to 18." - The bill to make a sixth grade education sufficient to establish voting literacy: "It's not education, but intelligence that matters."
