Your editorial IN the Saturday
issue, April II, 1859, Of your paper
was read with interest. and ! will
appreciate lit if you will publish
this letter which will enlighten
you and your readers regarding
the QUESTIONABLE the ST. Croix
Chamber Of Commerce circulated.
This questjonnaire asked for a
vote on two items: cruise ships
and large hotels. We all know that
these two items will loom large
in the future Of St. Croix, and
knowing that they were contro-
versial questions in many PEOPLES
minds, the Chamber thought to
get an expression of opinion from
a cross section of the porTlation
Of ST. Croix. To get that opinion,
every member Of the Chamber
and every box-holder in the post
offices at Christiansted, Frederik-
sted and Kingshill was sent a bal
lot, to be marked and returned to
The Chamber for tabulation. In all,
about 1900 ballots were sent out;
about 200 were returned. The
small reply was Disappointing,
but the reasons given pro and
con were revealing. On the cruise
ships, the vote was 100 for, rs
against; on the large hotels, 100
for, Is against.
We do not follow your reason
ing that the circulation of thu
QUESTIONABLE did more harm
than good" It is the American
way to bring any question to the
public for a sampling Of public
opinion. Certainly the public is

concerned with these things, so
why should they not be brought
to their attention. Is it a wise
policy to ignore the future and
simply accept what comes? Far
better that some thought be given,
and plans made to anticipate and
prepare for what is deemed best
for all, after you find out what
most Of the people concerned
really want.

produced one Of the dramatic
moments in the hearing when
a letter he wrote to himself In
the spring Of 1857. before he
first appeared on the program,
was opened at the hearing.
The letter, which had passed
unopened through the hands of
the New York grand Jury. gave
the questions, the answers and
the points Mr.. Snodgrass
would take in that particular
show.
Why he did this Mr.. Snod-
grass said he did not know ex-
cept that he was upset and
wanted to do 1t for protection.
Says He Rebelled
Mr.. Snodgrass said that when
he was instructed to lose he was
given a set Of questions on
American literature containing
the quotation from Emily Dick
inson, Hope is a thing with
feathers, it whispers to the
SOUL"
Mr.. Snodgrass was supposed
to answer, he testified. that 1t
was from Ralph Waldo Emer-
son, and added:
II decided not to take the fall
but answer the question"
why did you decide to
balk?". the witness was asked.
Maybe way down deep in
SIDE" Mr.. Snodgrass replied, II
thought it would work out fair
and square. Also, I knew the
answer. I had been told the
answer"
With $4,000 riding on the
outcome, Mr.. Snodgrass stuck
to his intentions and answered
the question, only to lose out
on a later series on the same
show under disputed circum-
stances that brought him back
for another appearance.
Asked what happened after
wards, Mr.. SnodgraSs said:
From that point on, I was
on my own"
He said he got some help on
his last appearance that cut
down the margin of points be-
tween the loser and the winner
and thereby the cost of the
program.

to believe that NBC at any time
was aware the Twenty-One
program was fixed.
Mr.. Davis was asked about
testimony yesterday by Mr..
Stempel. He said that Mr.
Stempel was "off base" or
some details, but ION the cru
cial point, whether he was given
the answers. what he said was
true"
Mr.. Davis also testified thai
he had suspicious" about other
quiz shows but did not identify
them. He said it was not gen.
orally known in the show bust
ness that programs were
fixed" but it was probably
believed"
Concerning Twenty One, the
witness testified that he dis
cussed what Mr.. Stempel had
told him with Mr.. Franklin. In
turn, he added, Mr.. Franklin
brought it to the attention OF
Daniel Enright, one of the pro-
ducers, and that he also had
taken up the matter with Mr.
Enright at another time.
Mr.. Davis said Mr.. Enright
told him something to the
effect that if his own wife
confronted him with such an
accusation he would have to
give the same answer that he
had given to Mr.. Franklin-s
complete denial.
Mr.. Davis testified that he
attended a meeting with. Mr.
Enright and others at which
Mr.. Enright said that Mr.
Stempel had come in that day

him for $50,000."

fore their appearance and re-
piled:
II suppose so. When Freed
man left my dressing room he
said he had to go and practice
with other contestants"
Miss Liebbrand, who is now
in the real estate business in
nearby Virginia, appeared be-
fore the New York grand jury
investigation. She said she told
the president of the federation
her impressions of the show
after her appearance before the
grand jury. The federation, she
added. considered it was outside
its sphere to take any action
on the matter.
Mr.. Davis. the public rela-
tons man, testified that he at
tended a conference of the pro-
ducers, NBC officials and an
attorney after newspapers car
ried stories regarding the al
legged fixing of the Twenty One
show.
He said he and his associate
Art Franklin, asked what to dc
because I'VE did not wish to
testify to anything that would
damage our client"
Told to Deny Things
He said they were advised
Ito deny certain things"
He identified the attorney
giving the advice as Edwin
Slote. who represented the pro-
ducers as well as him and his
associate.
did he tell you to deny
matters you knew were true?"
asked Mr.. Lishman.
YES" Mr.. Davis answered.
What did you do?"
1--WE hedged."
Mr.. Davis testified that they
did not reply to the attorneys
advice and tried ito digest it."
did he advise you to get
out of town." Mr.. Lishman
asked.
Yes"
Where did he tell you to
go?"
"As far away as possible"
DerOunian Critical
Representative Derounian,
Republican of New York, said
that anyone practicing law in
New York who advised his
client in this way should not
be allowed to practice" and
the New York State Bar Asso-
citation should be informed
about it.
Mr.. Davis testified about nu-
merous conferences that he had
with the Barry & Enright Of
ficials after Mr.. Stempel had
told him he was receiving the
questions and answers in adj
vance. He also said there were
numerous conferences with the
producers and NBC officials
after reports were circulated in
New York that the Twenty
One show was fixed.
At one point Mr.. Davis was
asked if it wasn't true he and
Barry & Enright did every
thing possible to mislead NBC.
I'D have to answer yes," the
witness replied. I'D like to
clarify-we did not make any
great effort to tell them the
truth"
Backed by NBC
Afterward, he said, NBC is
sued a statement that it had
found the charges of fraud
baseless and had complete con-
fidence in the integrity of the
show. He said he has no reason

Iof such o matter coming for
ward and steps to be taken
to counterfeit 1t.
Mr.. Lishman asked whether
at one meeting it was decided
to smear Mr.. Stempel and prove
he was a liar.
II might not agree with the
terms" Mr.. Davis answered,
but that was one Of the con-
siderations."
The House investigation has
been undertaken by the sub
committee to determine whether
legislation is needed to prevent
abuses on such programs. Wit
nesses and subcommittee men,
bers referred to the Twenty
One program yesterday as "a
fraud" on the television audi
ences.
Mr.. Lishman said that after
hearings on Twenty-One the
inquiry will turn to the Co
lumbia Broadcasting Systems
"Dotto" show, the first of the
big quiz programs to collapse.
Some "Entrapped"
From the information the
subcommittee has, Mr.. Lishman
said, persons were "entrapped''
into appearing on the shows,
Others, he said, refused to take
part in them even when extra
inducements were held out to
them.
Both Mr.. Stempel, 80, and
James Snodgrass, a 37-year-old
artist, said yesterday they
were not only given answers to
the questions that would be
asked them but also were
coached on how to register
mental anguish in struggling
for the replies they already
knew.
Mr.. Stempel testified that he
won $49,500 before he was
ousted by Charles Van Doren
of the literary Van Doren fam
lily on his eighth appearance on
Twenty-One.
Mr.. Snodgrass said he won
$4,000 before losing out to
Henry Bloomgarden on his
fifth appearance.
Both said they had no first
hand knowledge of whether the
contestants they opposed also

committee Counsel Robert w.
Lishman.
II was but I did not realize
1t at the time" Miss Liebbrand
answered.
She testified that after she
had applied to appear on the
program, at the suggestion Of
the federation's public rela-
lions director and with the APP
proval of the federation pres
ident, she had a conference
with Mr.. Freedman at the
Barry e. Enright offices on
Madison avenue, New York.
Told How to Act
She said Mr.. Freedman told
her what to wear and how to
act and had with him about
100 cards on questions.
HE told me the questions
had been used on the air and
would not be used again but
similar questions would bel
used" Miss Liebbrand said.
She said she was instructed
that she was supposed to have
to do a lot of thinking" She
also said she was instructed
not to play for more than
seven or eight points.
On the evening of her APP
pearance on the program,
Miss Liebbrand continued. Mr..
Freedman came to her dress
ing room and I'VE ran through
the questions again." She said
he again told her that the
questions would not be used
on the program and she was
later surprised to find that they
were.
Warned on Bidding
She quoted Mr.. Freedman as
telling her as she was going on
the show that you are not to
bid over seven or eight-or
else"
Miss Liebbrand said she
whispered back" and asked
how she could win if she did
not select larger numbers, and
added:
81 was furious at being boxed
in"
But she said she felt the re-
sponsibility to her organization
and Il couldn't walk out"
She testified that the quiz
program had been represented
to her as an honest presenta-
ton and that the federation
officials had notified the 49,
900 members of her appear
ance.
II won $3.50 and went off the
air"
What happened after the
SHOVE" asked Mr.. Lishman.
did you have any converse
tons with Barry & Enright?"
mo, SIR" Miss Liebbrand re-
piled. They wouldn't even
look me in the eye"
Showed Her Independence"
: Miss Liebbrand was asked if
she had bid the numbers that
she had been instructed to bid
and answered:
! Il bid seven and I bid six
Just to show my independ-
fence."
She said the federation pres
ident called her after the show
and asked her why she did not
bid more.
II was boxed in and not al
lowed to bid more than eight"
she said she told the president.
"You were satisfied at your
appearance that the show was
fixed" asked Representative
Mack, Democrat of Illinois.
Eyes, SIR" Miss Liebbrand
replied.
She testified that she was
Every much puzzled" by what
went on in the Barry & En-
right offices when she was first
being interviewed prior to her
appearance on the show. She
testified that those interview
ing her were very subtle about
1t" but asked her questions
about her financial ethics"
and were Every much inter-
ested in my integrity"
She added:
= Apparently I gave the wrong
answers"
Questioned on Others
She was asked if she thought
other contestants were given
the questions and answers be-

were coached IN advance Of the
programs.
After charges were aired that
led to a New York grand jury
investigation. Mr.. Van Doren
was reported as denying he re-
ceived by assistance.
Mr.. Van Doren sent Subcom-
mittee Chairman Harris a tele-
gram last night. asking that he
insert his denial into the record
Of the hearings.
Mr.. Van Doren said the record
should state that he had told
members Of the committee staff
that "at no time was he sup
piled any questions or answers
with respect to his appearances
on Twenty-On
In addition, Mr.. Van Doren
said. the record should state:
HE was never assisted in any
form. And he has no knowledge
Of any assistance having been
given to any other contestant
Mr.. Harris also was asked to
insert into the record that Mr.
Van Doren is available to repeat
his statements under oath.
Mr.. Snodgrass, who grew up
in Hartford County, Md, said
he received coaching from Mr.
Freedman.
Told When to Lose
Both witnesses testified they
also were told when to lose,
and by what counts they would
lose.
This, the testimony brought
out, figured largely in the
Twenty-One scheme Of things
because the amount of pay
ments to contestants ranged
from $500 to $4,000 a point,
depending on how many ties
there had been. And the
Twenty One program. Mr..
Lishman developed, had a lin
tied budget for award money
and any in excess of that came
out of the pockets of Barry g.
Enright
The producers found them
self in the position of fac
ing a big outlay after Mr.
Snodgrass double-crossed them,
according to this testimony. on
what was to have been his final
appearance on the program.
