-ber of the Cockroach anilation front.

argument and we hope to present both on tonites contrave-

-rtial debate on Cockroach Genacide. "

2ND INTERVIEWER " Now these facsists that wanderarou-

-nd our streets saying they get pleasure from killing coc-

-kroaches what can we do to curb this Increasingly ssKca-

-lating problem. ? I represent the society for cockroach
culture promotion and our aims are to ra'se awareness
of the general public to the complex issuee that surround
what at first seems a clear cut case of pest-control but
is in fact a living organic culture of the insect world re-

-nowd.Not mearly one of pestulence as some would ha^"e
us believe. Now in reply to the publication this week of
a new pamflet by the cockroach Anilation movement enti-

-tied " KILL KILL KILL " . I have a copy of it here with
me on tonights program, and if I turn to page three and
here is an aittlcal called "the ten point cockroach anilat-

-ion plan " It says here under point 7 that cockroaches
dont dance" now this is an obvious expmple of the kind
of lies I expect from these poeple.They do in fact danc-

-e it is a mistaken mythology. Now I have with me--non i-
ght live in the studio. . . . . "             . " -' '.' - .
THE GUEST " So cockroaches have discos do they.? "
2ND INTERVIEWER-" ( laughthing and chuck 1 trig :the words
in a self gratiating manner ) " Thats right only we cant.
see it. .but if we could understand their culture them we
would find a dance as valid as the. . .the twist..( laug-

-ther as before ).. .or ( more seriously). .the tango.

the head of the cockroach anilation movment ; Mr plas-

-tic Squonk.now mr Squonk or can I call you plastic. .

G-"(Interuptlng raised voice but still calm)" What we need

is less'.liberal namby pamby people such as YOU. What we

need is ah army out there to go out and kill every cockroach

. . . . And I .er. . .1 believe.and a lot of people-feel the same

also. .-.that these cockroaches not only have to be killed but
completely erradicated from the face of the planet.
They are a Menace.
They are'a menace.

that. . .ideology of a menace.. .1 mean take Hitler for example.
