House investigators will probe
deeper next week into the shift
OF a Tv channel from Spring
field. III. 10 st.. Louis.
Meanwhile. the Federal
Communication Commission
has reopened a Miami TV case
which the special House sub
committee explored earlier this
year.
The Subcommittee on Legis-
lative Oversight, which has
been checking on the FEC. will
meet Monday with a st. Louis
TV man as the scheduled
witness.
He is Harry Tenenbaum. one
Of the owners Of Signal Hill
Television Corp, which was
given Channel 2 in st. Louis
when II was shifted there from
Springfield.
His name was brought into
hearings this week on the
original grant OF Channel 2 in
Springfield.
Tells Of Meeting
Gordon Sherman, president
Of WMAY-TV. winner Of the
original Springfield grant. said
yesterday he met Mr.. Tenen-
baum and his partner, Paul E.
Peltason in the spring Of 1856
about a year before the chan
mel was shifted.
At that time, Mr.. Sherman
testified, the two st. Louis men
told him 1t was, in their opin-
ion, pretty certain that the
channel would be moved. He
said he drew an inference that
the two st. Louis men thought
they would get the channel.
Mr.. Sherman said he talked
with them about buying some
TV equipment.
Representative Harris. Dem
ocrat of Arkansas, subcommit-
tee chairman, said he thought
it strange that Mr.. Tenen-
baum talked to Mr.. Sherman
about such matters a year be-
fore the FEC decision.
Mr.. Sherman testified he
knew nothing about reported
contacts with Congressman and
then Republican National
Chairman Leonard Hall on be-
half of his group.
Testimony Alleged Contacts
The subcommittee has heard
testimony alleging such con-
facts by Orville Hodge, former
Illinois State auditor now in
prison for embezzling State
funds. This testimony came
from persons connected with
the Sangamon Valley Television
Co., a rival and unsuccessful
applicant for Channel 2 in
Springfield.

The group will give "extraor-

At the same time, the Com
missioner said on WWDC's

He said Washington's crime

out that Of the five other
United States cities in the

900 to one million-four had
more serious offenses and one
had more than twice as many
crimes as the District did in
the last reportable year.
Mr.. Mclaughlin conceded
that during the last six months
of 1857 serious offenses in the
District were up 10.4 per cent
over the same period in 1856.
But taken as q whole, he said.
1887 had less serious offenses
than any other calendar year
since the present crime report
ing system was installed by our
police department in 1948."
While robberies increased
during the last six months Of
1857, -he said, there were few

in 1919. 1852 and 1853"
Citizens Protest Crimes
Mr.. Mclaughlin said there
has been a virtual flood Of
letterSg recently to newspapers,
police and the District Com
missioners from citizens con-
cerned about street crimes. He
said the letters indicate "a
fear in the citizenry which APP
proaches q state Of public
emergency"
He said he wanted to assure
the public that crime has been
worse in Washington before
and is worse now in many other
cities. do not turn to fear" he
said.
Despite the gravity Of the
individual crime in its rela-
tionship to the individual VIC
tins, one must consider the
total situation to determine
whether a state of public ter
