Brunei Cops Wet Nose
Shifts Out Illicit Coffee

BONN, Germany, June 9 (P.
The West German govern
ment is warmly applauding one
of it's female customs officials
for outstanding achievement in
noSing out coffee Smugglers.
The attractive brunei, fondly
called Geisha by her colleagues,
has built up a reputation as the
most efficient coffee cop along
the Dutch-German border.
1T is thanks to Geisha," said
the official Government Ga
zette, that almost no illicit
coffee now crosses the border

customs officials in the employ
of the federal republic.
With the duty on coffee about
SO cents a pound, the bev-
erage has been one of the
smugglers' favorite items.
Geisha is one of only two dogs
in the entire West German
customs service trained to track
down the fragrant contraband.
Frequently she is taken
aboard border-crossing Rhine
vessels and on to International
freight and passenger trains
She invariably locates unde-
clared coffee.
The dog is now 2l2 years old
and she may live to see coffee
smuggling vanish-when the

comes fully effective. That as

nations eventually is to do away

The Government Gazette put

work. the Common Market will
be so advanced that coffee
smuggling will have ceased"

Chairman Harris, Democrat

He said the Tenenbaum case
was typical Of the commissions

rural sections.
Representative Mack, Demo-

Job|ess Funds
0kd by House

The House passed and sent
to the Senate today President
EiSenhower's request for $665.7
million for additional unem-
.ployment compensation assist
ance.
OF this amount, $640 million
would go to jobless persons who
have used up all their eligible
time provided by State laws for
such benefits. Another $25.1
million is allotted for admins
trative expenses of States and
100000 for Labor Department
expenses.
The Presidents request for
those funds was sent to Con-
gresS Immediately after enact
ment of a resolution providing
for payment of additional un-
employment compensation to
qualified persons who had ex-
hausted their entitlement to
such benefits under provisions
of Federal or State laws speci-
flying the number of weeks that
payments could be received.
The Appropriations Commit
tee said it had heard some
doubt expressed that all of this
money would actually be re-
quired because some States
would not fully participate.
The committee declared. how
ever, that in view of the ur-
gency of the general situation
it wishes to impose no pos
/ sible blocks in the way of put
ting into effect fully and ex-
peditiously this program Of as

FEC Influence
In Channel
Shift Denied
BY LEE M. COIN
star Stan Writer

A st. Louis telecaster today
defended as entirely proper his
contacts with members Of the
Federal Communications Com
mission in successful effort
to obtain a license to operate a
TV station.
Harry Tenenbaum testified
before the House Legislative
Oversight Subcommittee that
he called and wrote to all mem
bers of the FEC, but denied
trying to influence them.
In a complex proceeding, the
FEC last year awarded TV
Channel 2 in st. Louis to Mr..
Tenenbaum's company, after
shifting the channel from
Springfield, Ill.
Points to Losses
Mr.. Tenenbaum said he had
lost 81. 1864 900 operating Chan
mel SO in st. Louis and, earlier,
Channel 81 in Belleville.
Subcommittee Counsel Rob-
ert w. Lishman commented
that Channel 2, as a very high
frequency WIFI station was
much more valuable than
Channels SO and 81, which
were ultra high frequency
(UHFD.
Mr.. Lishman implied that
Mr.. Tenebaum operated the
UHF stations only because he
was confident of getting the
WIFI channel eventually
through false "behind-the-
scenes" maneuvers.
Denying any improperly
Mr.. Tenenbaum maintained he
went on the air with UHF ex-
pecting to make a go of it,
but realized later that he could
not compete.
Insists on Legality
He insisted it was legal fol-
him to contact commissioners
because the shift involved
"rules-making" not an ad-
1 judicatory proceeding. The
subcommittee for months has
been investigating charges OF
improper pressureS on the FEC,

apparent attempt to show that

The showdown will not come

When it was last extended
two years ago, the program

House by a single vote.
This year, with opposition to
low-tariff foreign imports in
tensified by the business recess
sion, protectionist forces have
picked up allies in both the Re-
publican and Democratic ranks.
The strongest opposition
comes from the Presidents own
party. But the Democrats,
additionally its strongest de-
tenders, have lost heavily as
members representing coal, tex
tiles, minerals, oil and small
business interests have swung
against the program.
