Apart from the paucity of factual material regarding changes in public att's since the coming of pol'al broadcasting, there is the problem of deciding how far the changes are actually due to the influence of radio & television (TV). There is no evidence that the new media have done anything to separate the party leader from his colleagues, & it may be that the new techniques have arrived at a transition period in politics when they are most needed. TV pol'al programs attract much greater audiences than sound-radio broadcasts, though the indications are that the impact of the latter is greater so far as election broadcasts are concerned. Apart from party-pol'al broadcasts there is a wide range of 'non-pol'al' & partly pol'al programs which influence pol'al att's. Modern radio & TV audiences are receiving a much higher proportion of pol'al educ, & a much lower proportion of pol'al propaganda, than their forbears; & broadcasting seems, in this way, to have contributed to the fall in pol'al temperature.

The surface indices of political life in Germany suggest that that nation has embarked upon a moderate pro-European and pro-Western course, and that political extremism and nationalism have no significant appeal at the present time. Thus the elections of 1953 produced an overwhelming majority for the "moderate" parties. Neither the Communist Party nor specifically neo-Nazi formations attained significant votes or representation in the Bundestag in the election of that year. On the whole, the statements made by governmental, political, and interest group leaders have been cautious and responsible. Occasional manifestations of neo-Nazism have been local and limited in character. There is no evidence to suggest that such tendencies have widespread organized support either aboveground or underground.

95 Hungarian refugees now in the US were intensively interviewed to determine the relation between major sociol'al factors, pol'al att's & revolutionary participation. Hostility to the Communist System was found to be attributable to econ distress & pol'al oppression, but also to the disruption of a coherent cultural pattern by an alien system. In many cases this hostility has rigidified & has generalized to non-Hungarian issues as well. Revolutionary action prior to Nov 4 was found to be related to such variables as degree of SE loss during the preceding 10 yrs & the rigidification of hostility to the system. Action after Nov 4 was unrelated to such factors. The subjects favored a democratic Gov for an independent Hungary, with moderate state control over industry & agri. IPSA.
