JACKSON, Miss., May 2 — The State Commission for Edu cational Television has vetoed the showing of “Sesame Street,” regarded as one of the leading pre‐school educational tele vision series, on the state ETV system because of racial grounds.

A member of the commission said, “Some of the members of the commission were very much opposed to showing the series because it uses a highly inte grated cast of children.”

The same member who asked not to be identified said, “Main ly the commission members felt that Mississippi was not yet ready for it.”

Four members of the commis sion, which was recently cre ated by the State Legislature, were appointed by Gov. John Bell Williams. The commission was believed to have split to 2 against allowing the tele vision series to be shown.
