Spearheading the drive against rock 'n' roll, the "New York Daily News," claiming that man-size riots have followed rock 'n' roll from "puritanical Boston to julep-loving Georgia," accuses record-makers and disc jockeys of "pandering to the worst juvenile taste." "long suffering adults" it says, ''have finally revolted against the screech music that has been shattering their eardrums for more than a year." It recommends "a crack-down on riotous rock 'n' roll," which it labels ''a barrage of primitive, jungle-beat rhythm set to lyrics which few adults would care to hear." The program which the "News" sponsors includes banning all teenagers from dancing in public without the written consent of their parents, also a midnight curfew for all minors.
