Senators 10 Ask
FEC About Bill
On " Powers
Advice Is Sought on
Prohibiting Structures
In Residential D. c.

The Judiciary Subcommittee o1
+he senate District Committee de-
c;ded today to seek the Federal
Communications Commissions ad-
vire on a bill which would prohibit
b,nldlng of television and frequency
n,od,lIation broadcasting towers in
residential areas here.
After hearing witnesses debate
the proposed measure, Chairman
KEN directed James c. Kirkland,
committee counsel, to write the
commission asking what effect the
bill would have on development Of
television here and what spots are
available for the building of towers
other than in residential areas or
Rock Creek Park.
At today's hearing the bill was
supported by George A. Corbin OF
the Manor Park Citizens Associa-
ton. who drafted 1t. Thad H.
Brown. ir an attorney representing
the Television Broadcasters' Asso-
citation. led the opposition.
Danger Seen in Collapse.
Mr.. Corbin said the bill was de-
signed to protect residential prop
erty and the lives Of citizens" Tele-
vision towers have been known to
fall in serious storms, he explained.
He said the measure is endorsed
by the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations.
Mr.. Brown declared the proposed
iela LOFT n1y r,rnbilNitS tho
erection of future television towers
in the District" High ground in the
area is residential, he added.
It would be impractical. Mr..
Brown said, to locate towers serving
Washington outside the District,
since efficient operation requires
they be placed as near the center OF
the area served as possible.
Rock Creek Park Suggested.
The bill, which has been passed
by the House, specifically prohibits
the building of the towers in resi-
Dental areas where there is a home,
school, or playground within a
radius of the tower equal to Its
height
Mr.. Corbin admitted under ques-
tioning. however, that in ef-
feet. the measure would close resi-
dental areas to the broadcasting
companies.
Another spokesman for the bill.
Leverett A. Meadows. president OF
the Manor Park group. suggested
Rock Greek Park might provide
space for the building Of additional
towers here, but Mr.. Brown said the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission already has vetoed such
proposals.
Other Witnesses Appearing.
Chairman KEN said he thought
the prime question" before the
subcommittee is whether there are
non n-residential areas here on which
towers could be placed.
The subcommittee held It's first
hearing on this question on May IA.
Other witnesses testifying briefly to-
day included William c. Warman,
transmission and outside plant engi-
neer for the Chesapeake & Potomac

Congressional Club
Binqo Party Approved

The Congressional Country Club
which was directed recently by
Montgomery County police to dis
continue bingo and other games OF
chance, yesterday obtained the
county commissioners approval OF
q bingo party for amputee veterans
of the Army and Navy.
A club delegation Of which H
Mason WEIGH was spokesman, said
the party would be non-profit and
was proposed solely for entertain
ment of IS men each from Walter
Reed and the Bethesda Naval Hos
pitals. 1t will be held Monday.
The delegation also included
Wash B. Williams. club president,
and Alfred C. Paul. They said they
regretted the clubs recent diff
culties.' They explained the vet
Grams would pay nothing to play
and would receive prizes donated
by the club. The commissioners,
on advice of F. Barnard Welsh,
counsel, said no permit was neces-
sary and informally approved the
Memorial Day party.
Board President Brooke Johns,
meanwhile, delivered scathing de-
nunciation of the manner in which
police directed the club to discon-
tinue bingo games last week. He
spoke Informally to a group of re-
porters during a recess of the COM
missioners' meeting.
He charged police handling of the
matter showed mo finesse" and that
detectives who visited the club last
week were ''impolite' because they
didn't even take off their hats when
they entered the place.
Declaring the whole affair had
been mismanaged, he said he could
see no reason for cracking down on
Congressional when police knew
churches and other clubs had spon-
sored bingo games for years. He
could not understand, he said, why
police failed to give Congressional
more than 48 hours notice when
they knew bingo had been played
there for three years.
