Television Panel Talk Withdrawn

(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 29. The Bell experimental television station in Auckland has withdrawn a weekly panel discussion from its Thursday night programmes because its licence bens entertainment of any kind. It is believed the Post Office may have advised the station to end the panel discussions which have been a weekly feature for six months.

The Lodge family has colonial roots, it is Protestant and Republican. The Kennedys have been there only a few generations and are Catholic and Democrats. The political rivalry started in 1916 in a battle for a Senate seat Henry Cabot Lodge, grandfather of the Vice-Presidential candiate, beat John F. Fitzgerald, Senator Kennedy’s maternal grandfather. The next battle came in 1952 between Senator Kennedy and Mr Lodge, once again for a Senate seat This time it was the Kennedy family's turn. John Kennedy won the seat
