No longer a lone voice, the 79-year-" old woman has the backing of Prime ‘ister Margaret Thatcher, Prince Charles and the Archbishop of Can- terbury, Robert Runcie. Her latest target is the BBC radio serialization of Lady «Chatterley’s Lover, which began Monday on the popular program A Book at Bedtime. The D.H. Lawrence novel is being read complete with sexually explicit passages. and four-letter Words. “To give the status of A Book at Redtime so Ledy Cheteriey’s Lover , and the language which was included in it seemed to us to be totally inap- Propiate and irresponsible,’’ Whitehouse said. “‘And what I felt after listening to it last night reinforced what I said. It gave the four-letter word and other things a sort of status and respec- tability. If they can do it, then why shouldn’t everyone else use the word all the time? It opens the door wider and wider.”” The BBC preceded its broadcast with a warning about the explicit con- tent, but Whitehouse said: ‘‘I have no ‘ faith in these warnings. They-attract the very people you feel they may be yohelpfulto.”” Whitehouse’s reaction came as no surprise. She has been campaigning since 1964, when she founded her National Viewers and Listeners Association to fight violence on television. It was the height of the permissive 1960s and Whitehouse, then an art teacher, said she began to detect sexual and moral confusion in the minds of her students over what they saw on television. Her main target was the publicly funded BBC. Nearly a half-million people signed a petition in 1964 to close down the BBC, accusing it of broad- casting ‘‘propaganda of disbelief, doubt anddirt.”” SAFEWAY ($) We bning it all together % PAPER TOWELS HI-Dri © Case of 12 © 2-Roll Pkgs.
