...provision did not and should not apply to regular news broadcasts-as the FCC had applied it in the Daly case. During the Chicago campaign, the station admitted, it had used film clips of Candidate Sheehan (e.g., filing his petition for nomination) and Mayor Daley (e.g., greeting Argentine President Frondizi) on scheduled newscasts, but as legitimate news. CBS President Frank Stanton, longtime foe of Section 315, pointed out that giving equal time on newscasts would make a farce of radio and television coverage of political news, thereby dealing a serious blow to the principle of freedom of the press.

Breaking the Chains. During the last week in December, seven top Argentine Peronistas traveled to a strategy rendezvous with exiled Strongman Juan Peron in the Dominican Republic, worked out plans for a strike-and-riot attack against Frondizi.

He quickly wrote off the win as a consolidation of his austere leadership, and rose before a joint session of the U.S. Congress to have his say about a proper attitude for the U.S. toward Latin America. "Peoples that are poor and without hope," he told a well-filled House chamber, "are not free peoples. A stagnant and impoverished country cannot uphold...
...headlines are most noticeable in Monday morning newspapers after Sunday's panel interview shows. Last Sunday U.S. TViewers saw and heard West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt, Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi and New Hampshire's Republican Senator Styles Bridges. Last week an estimated 15 million watched Soviet First Deputy Premier Mikoyan. What each of these men said on TV made stories for Monday's papers...
