American Broadcasting Radio Network Announces Essay Contest For Students “What Do You Most Want The United States To Do At Home And Abroad In The Sixties?” has been announced as the title of an essay contest sponsored by the American Broadcasting Radio Network, in connection with its journalist-broad caster Edward P. Morgan. In announcing the contest, which is open to all university and college undergraduates, Mr. Morgan stated, “President-Elect Kennedy says the country must move ahead to a ‘new frontier.’ The people with the great est stake in this movement are the men and women known as ‘Ameri ca’s youth,’ so it is fitting they should be asked what they most want the United States to accomplish at home and abroad in the 1960’s, for on their minds and energies depends, in great measure, the success of the adventure into this portentous dec ade. Furhtermore, I think they have some provocative and responsible ideas on the subject which need listening to.” ' Waller Studio Annual Prints Available for . . .
