says Advertising Manager Roger
Greene.
In line with the new program,
the announcement said yester-
day. the company on June ~
will end its four-year sponsorship
of II Love Lucy" on CHS televi-

He nevertheless conceded that
repeal was necessary because
many will seek an opportunity

tax benefits substantially in ex-

Congress" He forecast extern

the sections stay in the law.
Big Loss Seen.
Mr.. Cooper, explaining that
the provisions led to some tax
payer windfalls by doubling up
of deductions. declared that
Treasury calculations show the
loss of tax revenue would greatly
exceed the SAT million originally
estimated.

BY Robert K. Welsh

A move to repeal two unex-
pectedly costly sections Of the
1854 tax revision will spark a
House Democratic drive for still
more changes in the internal
revenue code, House members
predicted today.
Opening guns already are
primed by some members of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee. They will not blast the bill
itself which most of the Is DEM
ocrats and 10 Republicans sup
port. But they aim at what crit
les described as other "windfall"
loopholes or inequities in the
new law.
Identical bills. in line with a
recommendation by Secretary
OF the Treasury Humphrey, were
introduced by Committee Chair
man Cooper, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, and Representative Reed

the revenue loss estimates we're
too conservative.
Earlier yesterday. Mr.. Cooper
conferred with Speaker Rayburn
on the bill referred to the Ways
and Means Committee. They
made no comment at the time.
But some Democrats on the
committee said that sessions
soon to start on the bill would
almost certainly bring strong
moves by individual members for
additional repealers or amend
ments.
They indicated that in view
Of the wish to repeal the two
sections without delay, it was
unlikely that the committee at
this time would undertake any
major overhaul of the 1854 law.
They said it might limit itself
to recommended revision of a
few key changes.

House 10 Consider
Fair Play Code for
Hearings Next Week

The House win have its first
real chance. probably early next
week. to order fundamental "fair
play" conduct for all its commit
tees at investigation hearings.
But the proposed new code will
still ban televisiop. radio. motion
picture and other cameras at
such sessions.
This code Of fair practices" !"
described by its sponsors as pro-
viding a relatively short set Of
minimum standards. was cleared
unanimously late yesterday by
the Rules Committee. House
leaders originally planned to
bring the resolution to the floor
tomorrow but said other sched-
uled business probably would de-
lay action until next week.
Rayburn Bans TV.
The committees vote against
including a rule specifically au-
thorizing committee chairmen to
permit TV, radio and picture
coverage Of hearings came as no
surprise. Speaker Rayburn has
interpreted present House rules
as prohibiting such coverage. At
hearings last week several mem
bers of the Rules COMMITTEES in
dicated they thought the Speak
er's Interpretation was correct
and that the rule ought to re-
main as it is. Senate committee
meetings can be televised and
broadcast under certain condi-
tions.
In one form or another codes
of fair practices" for House COM
mitteas have been proposed in
numerous individual bills, and
considered by various congress
Sional groups in recent years.
The one reported out yesterday
by the Rules Committee will be
the first of its kind ever to reach
the House floor.
Provisions of Bill.
introduced by Representative
Doyle. Democrat, Of California,
with the support of several other
Democrats and Republicans, the
bills principal provisions would:
Prohibit "one-man" commit
tee investigations and hearings.
Require chairman at an inves-
tigative hearing to announce at

Of the investigations.
Allow witnesses to be accom-
panied by lawyers who, however,
could advise them only on con-
stitutional rights as distinguished
from other legal or procedural
privileges.
Enable a chairman to censure
or exclude from a hearing any
person for breaches of order and
decorum, or any counsel for
breaches of professional ethics.
The committee in such instances
could decide whether to cite the
offender to the House for con-
tempt.
Require committees to receive
In closed session any evidence or
testimony that tend to degrade
or incriminate any person at an
investigative hearing. Any person
so named would be given an op-
portunity to be heard and to
request that additional witnesses
be subpoenaed.

In closed session could be released
or used in public sessions without

for any changes In course needed to avoid
collisions.
The association magazine emphasizes
another complaint by the pilots directed
primarily at the aircraft designers and
builders. 1t is that cockpit design has not
been revised to meet the changing condi-
tions of greater speed and more crowded
air space. Limitation of vision is the
principal grievance in this regard and
the pilots journal points out that "it is
simple fact that from the cockpit you
cannot see directly above, directly below
or directly behind your airplane."
On the basis of statistics, the airlines
have a remarkable safety record. For
this, operational personnel on the ground
and in the air are entitled to great credit.
Regulatory agencies likewise have paid
close attention to safety measures and
their enforcement Nevertheless, the men
who fly the ships are in the front lines,
so to speak, of the fight to keep them safe.
Their Judgment is an experienced and
professional one. Their views on the pos
sible dangers in flying today, and what
might be done to minimize these, are
worth serious attention.
