Spe.nce r, General Sec retary , �Continued, Page two, Mr. Swea t Night Call is based on the premise that Americans are willing to listen and discuss an~ idea; that people from different backgrounds and with different attitudes and ideas must speak and listen to one another before they can accept each other and work together in solving the problems of our nation. Night Call provides this opportunity. It demonstrates that problems are pretty much the same everywhere and that the search for answers in Pittsburgh or Watts are relevant to just about every part of the nation. We'll also be glad to have suggestions on issues and guests. If a problem or a success program can be helped by, national exposure, we'd like to know about it. I will be looking forward to hearing NP:mj Enclosure �
