WHITTLE COMMUNICATIONS is considering the introduction of an elementary school version of Channel One, its controversial advertising-supported daily news program for high schools, media and advertising executives say.

The name comes from the Big Picture posters, signs that Whittle has installed in elementary schools for several years featuring advertisements alongside information.

Purges in China used to be simple: the Communist Party pounced on a "rightist," denounced him and forced humiliating confessions from him, and then either imprisoned him or else hacked out his dignity and left him cowering silently. So these days, much of Beijing's intellectual and cultural world is transfixed by the remarkable spectacle of a victim fighting back, particularly because he is one of China's most celebrated writers and a former Minister of Culture. The battle is being fought with the subtle gestures of a Beijing opera, but there is little doubt that what is fundamentally at stake is the amount of cultural freedom that the Government will allow.

For the Boeing Company, the agreement between McDonnell Douglas and Taiwan Aerospace raises the threat that both of the Seattle aircraft builder's competitors would be government subsidized. Boeing has long complained that Airbus Industrie, a European consortium, can discount its jetliners heavily because of these subsidies. "The fact that the Taiwan Goverment is a major holder in the Taiwan Aerospace Corporation makes you wonder what effect that will have on commercial decision making," Roy Phillips, Boeing's director of international joint programs development, said in a telephone interview. "We would like to see that sort of thing stopped."
