Carey Says Evidence
Justifies Charge Of
Gestapo Under FEC
BY the Associated Press.

cJ hiic hssoeihtct
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Eugene L
Carey, counsel for the Cox Congress
sional Committee investigating the
Federal Communications Commits
sion, said at the conclusion of the
New York inquiry yesterday that
evidence presented here amply
justifies and supports widespread
accusations leveled against the com
mission"
Summing up the testimony, Mr.
Carey said two accusations against
the FEC were that it mas set up a
group commonly called the 'Gestapo
for the purpose of unlawfully dom
mating the radio industry and rem
dering it subservient to its will, ard
that the 'Gestapo,' under The guise
of lawful and proper investigation,
is violating the constitutional rights
of individuals"
These, he said, were among the
accusations supported by the evi-
dence.
To clarity testimony given Thurs
day by an Italian born radio censor
translator, which was surrounded
by considerable confusion because
the witness, Duccio Tabet, spoke in
broken English, Mr.. Carey stated
that Mr.. Tabet had testified that
he had deleted from a radio script
the phrase, Peace on earth good
will toward men, because it failed
to comply with the stations censor
ship code.
Although the transcript of the
testimony was not available, Mr..
Carey and Earl Menderman. di-
rector of information of the FEC.
agreed that Mr.. Tabet said he also
had deleted, for the same reason,
a line similar in sentiment" to the
Lords prayer.
However, the radio station, WOW,
In a statement yesterday. said that
Mr.. Tabet denied deleting the
words, denied that the other line
in the same script had any reference
to the Lords prayer, and added that
"WOV states unequivocally that
religious programs were not CEN
sored."
