IAnti-vandaIisnl
Plans Sought

The District Recreation Board
yesterday called for a staff
study Of an incentive system
designed to cut DAMAGE by
vandals to Recreation Depart
ment facilities.
The proposed incentive sys-
tenn would convey to children
in simple words that replacing
broken windows cuts down on
new basketballs." chairman
Henry Gichner told the board
meeting.
The positive approach was
injected into the recreation de-
Ipartment's vandalism headache
by board proposals for possible
trophies for schools demon
strating the greatest improve
ment in cutting damages. The
idea is to enlist youths in the
effort and show them that
vandal action hurts them and
that they can do something
about it. according to Col. West
A. Hamilton. Board Of Educa-
ton representative to the rec
reation board.
Increased night lighting
around recreation buildings was
suggested as another preven-
tive measure by Milo F. Chris
Hansen. superintendent OF rec
reation. Recently returned
from the National Recreation
Congress held in Long Beach.
Calf, Mr.. christensen said
night lighting was emphasized
strongly in approaches to the
problem In discussions at the
congress. The problem is more
pressing here than in many
Western cities. he pointed. out.
Col. Hamilton said 100000
was spent replacing broken
glass in school buildings during
the fiscal year which ended
July /. He urged parent groups
to enter into establishing an
incentive system. Figures for
damage since July had not
yet been. available to him. he
said.
Edward j.. Kelly. the boards

sentative. credited the extern

half IN National Capital Parks.

FEC Action on
" MonopoIies
BY LEE M. COIN

- 1880 sNae 00AAAN
A congressional trust buster

act promptly against monop-
olistic practices by television
networks.
Congress viii crack down II
the FEC dawdles. limited Chair
man Celler, Democrat Of New
York. Of the House Antitrust
Subcommittee.
Mr.. Celler's warning came
in q statement praising last
weeks report TO the FEC by .
stan Of outside experts on net
works. The l.40O-page report
criticized the FEC for allowing
concentration and restrictive
practices TO develop among
television networks.
The study group--headed by
Roscoe L. Barrow. dean Of the
University Of Cincinnati College
Of Law--urged the commission
Ito limit multiple ownership Of
television stations. ban certain
restrictive practices in pro-
/ gramming and advertising. and
take other action to encourage
competition.
Cites Two Other Reports

row report backed up earlier
findings by his subcommittee
and by the stan Of the Senate

I1n." Mr.. Celler declared. warn
ling:
Our antitrust subcommittee
will maintain q watchful eye
on all developments in order
Ito help insure that this Is done. "
The New Yorker quoted with
approval charges by the Bar
row group that the commits
sion has failed to do IFS ut
most to encourage maximum
diversification" in broadcaSting.
and instead has acted to 'en-
courage increased concentra-
ton" He added:
1T is all too clear from the
Barrow report that over the
years the commission has
failed adequately to enforce
its own chain broadcasting reg
ulations and to keep abreast
Of industry practices"
Backs Domination Charges
Mr.. celler joined m current
eharses that Federal regula-
tory agencies sometimes are
dominated by the industries
they're supposed to control.
"There is little doubt" he said,
that these conditions tin the
Fec have resulted in part
from the informality . . that
has characterized the relation
ship between the commission
and the television industry"
The Congressman also took
q swipe at the Justice Depart
ment for ''inordinate delay" in
investigating charges that "the
networks tie the sale OF pre-
ferred viewing hours to the sale
Of programs in which they have
a financial interest"
He expressed hope that "the
findings Of the Barrow group
in respect. to diversiflcation Of
broadcast facilities will act as
a stimulus so that the COM
mission will adopt policies bet
ter calculated to promote the
public interest"
