Of Commercials on Video By RICK DuBROW

HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — For the person capable of only so much goodwill during the Christmas season or any other, television is a constant relief. There, even as the last hours tick away before the days of reverence, one is returned to the real world of jazzy new automobiles and bad breath. Has no one ever con­sidered a holiday truce of decent length between video and the home audience?

Surely television cannot wish to be known as a medium, that requires a tragedy to make it act with dignity, or just plain decency. Ante Dealers Tasteless

Televsion also contributed some other choice tidbits to the holiday season. Monday morn­ing, for instance, all three of our major networks devoted considerable time to coverage of the Rose Parade —whereas not one of these organizations could find time recently in the prime evening hours to devote a full documentary to the dispute between Mrs. John F. Kennedy and author William Manchester

Who are these people any­way? How dare they intrude on such a holiday? How dare they presume that anyone is interest­ed m their views about the Christmas season, or wishes to hear them sermonize from a used car lot? How dare a station allow such fellows to indulge m such tastelessness — these people who could never get on television unless they bought their way on?

Also Monday, during coverage of the Rose Bowl football game, the announcer —one of those fellows who tells you that a couple of coaches are "bitter enemies" on the field though friends otherwise —reported that 100 Vietnam veterans were guests at the contest, courtesy of an automobile company. The company is a big sponsor with the network, and while it was a nice gesture for the firm to treat these veterans to the game, how tasteless it was to put in a plug for the credit.
