TV Film

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9 (AP).-
Senator Beall today ordered
withdrawal from television sta
tons a filmed campaign adj
vertisement featuring his re-
ceiving an honorary degree
from Mount st. Mary's College.
The political advertisement
was televised last Tuesday. 1t
showed a still picture of Sena-
tor Beall receiving the degree
from the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John
L. Sheridan. Mount st. Mary's
president. An announcer read
excerpts from the citation in
Guiding you have served the
people well :"
Senator Beall is seeking re-
election.
His Democratic opponent,
Mayor D'Alesandro of Balti-
more. issued a statement say
ing:
"Marylanders of all religious
denominations were dismayed
and disguised this week by the
brazen, unauthorized political
exploitation of a high official
of the Catholic church by my
Republican opponent. :"
Senator Beall's campaign
headquarters said the film was
prepared by campaign workers
here and that the Senator had
not seen it before it was tele-
vised.
Msgr. Sheridan said upon in
quiry he did not know of the
campaign film until after it
was aired. He said he had re-
ceived personal assurance from
Beall that it would not be
shown again.

The purpose Of the one
word amendment, the report
said, is to make clear that
the proposed legislation does
not intend to approve unrea-
sonable delay in taking ar
rested persons before a COM

Question Of Procedure
The committee declared that
what is involved in the legis-
lation is not a broad Constitu-
tional question but a narrow
one of criminal procedure.
The report said the subcom-
mittee that held hearings on
the Mallory bill recognized that

fusion growing out Of the NAL

unique problem confronting

ity OF singing out the District
for this legislation but had re-
jected "a suggestion that such
a legislative distinction be I'M
