said one government analyst.
Carter will send his budget
proposals to Congress Tuesday.
Various congressional commit-
tees, starting With the House and
Senate budget committees, are
expected to begin work on it al-
most immediately.
One congressional source said
Carter's proposed changes to the
Ford budget are likely to stand
without major revision in Con-
gress unless there is a major
setback in the nation's economy.
For one thing, there have beenE

close consultations beltween Car-
ter's budget experts and those in
Congress. Many of the changes,
such as restoring funds to social
service programs, are changes
favored by the congressional
majority which probably would
have made them even if Carter
didn't propose them.
FORD'S PROPOSALS for near-
ly $46 billion in tax cuts over
a five-year period will be scrap-

ited tax reductions that Carter
has proposed and which already
are before thQ Congress.

Connel - weary after a plane

talk briefly about the course of
children's programming.
CONNEL, who toted away a
bachelors degree in business and
a Masters in television from the
University, produced Captain
Kangaroo for 11 years before
moving over to the Children's
Television Workshop, creator of
Sesame tStreet and Electric
Company.
An astute observer of televi-
sion and its affect on children,
Connel believes that the emer-
gence of shows such as Sesame
Street have been a bright spot

1n a lackluster video past.
"My general view is that tele-
vision has and continues to grad-
ually improve," he said. "It still
has a very long way to go,
though."
However, he notes that 'good
programming is the exception,
rather than the rule."
"We haven't been giving too;
much thought to what TV is do-
ing to us," he added.
While Connel contends that.
situation comedies are "dread-
ful," and shows like Bionic Wo-
man are not aimed at raising
the childrens' "intellectual lev-
el", he believes that television;
should not take the blame for
the negative effects it might'
have on young viewers.
"I THINK you can pull them
(children) away by giving them
an alternative. It's not just a
problem of the programmers
and the networks, but the par-
ents rtoo."
"That thing has an off
switch," he continued.
But Connel says that all pro-
gramming need not be geared
to developing children's minds.
and that shows such as Sesame
Street serve their specialized
purpose.
"I don't think it all has to be
educational," he said. "But the
appalling quality of much of the
entertainment medium is what
I find distressing."
