_ SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TC: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WORLP PEACE ! THE WORLD PEACE
BROADCASTING FOUNDATIs |} NOW BEEN ORGANIZED :
)
The formation of THE WORLD PEACE BROADCASTING FOUNDATION follows an unusual
series of events during the past fcw months. Here is the story:
Last fall an official of the Preferred Risk Hutual Insurance Company of Des
Moines, Iowa, heard a tape~recorded talk by Dr. Jerome D. Frank, noted author an
psychiatrist of John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., entitled "The Nuclear ?
Race--Sanity and Survival." This talk was given at a public meeting in Washingt
2: C., sponsored by Psi Chi, the national psychological fraternity. In it, Dr. J
“outlined very dramatically the dangers of the nuclear arms race, the current tr¢
of thinking in the Russian and Amcrican governments, and the analogy between thx
havior of men and nations facing this threat and mental patients. Persons long
in promoting world peace considered this talk one of the most important ever del
ered on the subject. A copy of this tape recording was secured and edited for .
by radio stations and copies were sent to a number of stations with a request tl
this be broadcast on a free time basis.
About fifty stations responded and used the tape. As a public service pro:
the insurance company printed 3000 copies of this talk in order to offer a free
to each radio listencr who might be interested in having one. There was a trein
response from the public. Requests came from all over the country. Many persor
that this service be extended, that more radio stations be contacted and more st
talks presented. Station WBZ Boston and Station WD/.F Kansas City each received
requests from single broadcasts. Station WHO Des Moines received 110 inquiries
all parts of the country as a result of one late night broadcast. An FM radio |
in Los Angeles received 450 responses to a series of repeat broadcasts.
The project outgrew the ability of one man to handle the details and the al
of one company to carry the cost of supplying materials. Then in February 1966
of interested citizens decided this was a worthwhile public service which shovl:
continued. So THE WORLD PEACE BROADCASTING FOUNDATION has been organized. Thi:
a non-profit corporation--a spiritual adventure in effective communication vita’
important in solving the problem of war and peace. People of various races and
ligious beliefs are joining hands in this venture. The organizers believe that
is facing his greatest challenge in this nuclear age and that we must join hand
meet it. They believe the first job is mass education through cffective commun.
of various ideas and approaches of thoughtful people. They believe radio and t
vision are the most effective media, supported with printed copies of talks.
There is a need for funds to buy recording tapes, printing, supplies, post
and equipment. The man who started this project, some of the exccutives of thi
pany and of other companies and many other interested persons are planning to d
their spare time without cost to the Foundation. Every dollar spent will count
