An argument that the public
should pay more attention to
such matters falls on deaf ears.
Mr.. John @. Citizen has
neither the time nor the in
clination to do such. The
dramatic effect of TV presenta-
ton of world problems is great;
so are it's responsibilities. 1t is
also ephemeral. A flick of the
switch and it is gone. There is
no review. A keen impression
is a lasting one.
For this very reason the big
names especially among net
work TV newSmen had better
take a good look around before
they start heading for the goal
line.
We hope that like Roy
Riegels' their boner doesn't
affect their future. He recovered
nicely, maybe TV can do the
same.

that they plan to revoke his

After being ordered out Of

Mr.. Walker and an investi-
gator, Sidney M. Crown.
Mr.. Rosenberg. who paused
long enough to issue a state
n1ent to reporters, was given a
brief audience by Mr.. Karrick
to outline his complaints
against Mr.. Hart. Mr.. Walker
told the Commissioner that he
did not want to lose Mr.. Rosen-
berg but, If he had to, then he
needed more time to decide on
a new attorney.
Mr.. Karrick, finding himself
suddenly involved in the case,
called in Mr.. Hart to hear his
side and then turned the whole
thing over to Corporation
Counsel Chester H. Gray. Mr..
Gray is to advise the Commits
sioners on the dispute at their
board meeting today.
Mr.. senberg had been
warned earliero by Mr.. Hart

ed team captain the following

come a successful businessman
"a well-paid representative for
a West Coast canning firm.
Like Riegels, never let it be
said that radio-TV reporters
don't know when to pick up
the ball and run with it. But
in their all-consuming passion
for speed they, often as not,
head for the wrong enc zone,
Their handling of the Nixon
KhruShchev set-to at the Amer
lean exhibit in Moscow'S Sokol-
niki Park is a prime example.
Almost without exception from
the top pundits to the lad
handling the local spots at the
East Overshoe independent
studio they grabbed up a reel
of Ampex tape and headed off
in all directions at once.
The consequent results have
shaken the faith of the average
viewer in the competence and
reliability of the cream of our
press corps-men whose &C
counts heretofore have been
taken as gospel.
We questioned more than 40
persons at random. Only two
were aware that the reel shown
on your screen did not depict
the interview on which the
correspondents and TV news
man based their stories of the
harsh words between Mr.. Rich
ard Milhous Nixon and Nikita
Sergeevich Khrushchev.
The tape seen by millions of
viewers was made at the RCA
color booth on the 10-acre
tract. 1t was no more nor less
than a scene between TVS
most colorful personality, Mr..
Khrushchev, hamming it up.
And, an astute Mr.. Nixon en-
gaging in some fair -middlin'
needing.
What was not stressed by
the horde of TV reporters and
announcers who got into the
act was that the real Set-to
took place some time later
while the Vice President and
the Russian Boss were inspect
ing the ranch type house.
At the completion of the film,
"the experts" profoundly tossed
the ball back and forth at some
length, bandying about such
phrases as this will set back
peacetime diplomacy so years. "
Little, if any, time was given
to an explanation of what they
were talking about.
Furthermore, why let facts
hamper a good story.
Less the cry of prejudice be
raised, let us get down to the
nub of the situation. Had the
TV men had film of the ranch
house hassle, a bitter dispute
from a diplomatic point OF
view, it would decidedly have
been shown. But not having it
the networks attempted tc
cover up thereby losing a chance
to demonstrate the true capa-

Ger termed "acts Of miscon-
duct" Mr.. Hart had specified
several points, including an
accusation Of discourtesy to
witnesses, mock dramatics and
refusal to accept Mr.. Harris
legal decisions.
Verbal Clash
Yesterdays decision to bar
the attorney came after a ver-
bal clash between the two over
Mr.. Rosenberg's cross-exami-
nation of Pvt. John j. Balassa,
a license officer for The Second
Precinct. In his questioning,
Mr.. Rosenberg was attempt
ing to build up evidence that
Precinct Capt. Alexander Doug
las had been determined to
clese down the coffee shop, 945
X street @N.W., for Interior
reasons.
The attorney had suggested
earlier that the captain was
anxious to shut down the shop
in order to create a smoke
screen to what Mr.. Rosenberg
said was the lack Of police
action against numbers opera
tors within the precinct.
After a dispute on the cross
examination. Mi! Hart told Mr..
Rosenberg that he would be
barred from the hearing if the
attorney committed one more
act which the hearing officer
felt was out of bounds.
THAT would be ducky," Mr.,
Rosenberg replied and was
promptly severed from the
case.

MIR. KREEGER SAID:

MIR. KREEGE Err SAID:
sxIost people are surprised to
learn that the big insurance
companies have suffered ter
nfic losses in recent years.
They have made money in
their underwriting, or insur-
ance operation, during only
three of the postwar years.
Understand, the big COM
panies have built up tremen-
dous sums to back up their
obligation to settle claims.
This money is invested in
stocks and bonds. They have
been making money from
their investment portfolios.
I'VE have made money
every year, but ours is a diff
ferent type operation with no
statesmen. All eur business is
done by newspaper and radio
solicitation and transacted
through the mail. Nineteen
fifty-seven was the worst
year. Operating losses almost
wiped out the portfolio prof.
its of the big companies and
our profit was well below
that of 1856.
That was the year that the
current style of high-finned
rear tenders and elaborate
tail light arrangements took
over on the road"
He shuddered a bit at the
thought.
THE popularity of the
small European car will bring
our manufacturers to their
senses. But in the meantime
a minor rsar-end collision is
likely to cost more than $500.
But more important than
that, increased horsepower,
increased weight and in
creased speed are making
accidents much more costly
to life and limb"

trict.
He appeared on Capitol Hill

nesSee, which would allow the
District Commissioners to de-
stroy obscene books, pamphlets
and pictures seized by police.

possession of such material, Mr..
Lutz maintained.
He asked a Senate District
Subcommittee to amend the
Kefauver bill. Incorporating q
section Of a separate measure
introduced in the House.
This would impose a $500
fine or a years imprisonment
on any person who kept and
offered for sale any materials
that could damage morals OF
the public, particularly young
sters. Persons found guilty Of
operating a shop or house that
distributed or manufactured
such materials would be liable
to a $1,000 fine or a years jail
term.
Senator Kefauver's bill asks
only that city officials be per-
mitted to seize and destroy in
decent, obscene or lewd prop
erty. The commissioners sug-
gested technical amendments.
but did not join with Mr.. Lutz.

Garnishment Law
Substitute Pushed
Longer Hits
Measure of
DC. Group

Senator LANCER. Republican
Of North Dakota. today said
the present garnishment law
in the District should be abol-
ish rather than revised.
The Senator also labeled as
a nuisance" the pending gar
nishment legislation local law
yers and judges had worked on
for several years.
Senator LANCER told a Sem
ate District subcommittee en-
ployers should not have to be
responsible for the debts Of
their employees under any law.
He said that in the District
garnishment works a hardship
on women. many Of them wives
OF Senators and Congressman,
who employ domestics.
Hits Prices
He explained that housekeep-
ers and maids are enticed into
downtown shops and sold goods
"at a price three times their
worth" Then, the Senator
said, United States deputy mar
shals hand wives Of Congress-
men court orders demanding
that they deduct pay to help
to satisfy shopkeepers.
The District Commissioners
opposed the LANCER bill and
supported a House passed
measure designed to protect
low-income debtors and to curb
reckless credit. This bill would
set a sliding scale of garnish-
ments based on a debtors earn
ings as follows:
On pay up to 5000 monthly,
10 per cent could be attached;
from 5000 to $500, 20 per cent.
and more than $500, so per
cent.
I'd Bill Pending
Also pending before Senate
Subcommittee Chairman Hart
Ike. Democrat of Indiana, is a
bill cleared by the Senate last
year Incorporating a sliding
scale Of attachments but fatty
exempting from garnishment
the first $50 Of weekly pay Of
any debtor.
Chief Municipal Court Judge
Leonard P. Walsh said either
the House or Senate bill would
be acceptable. The problem,
as seen by judges. is that
debtors now must go to court
to claim exemptions from at
tachments. During the time
the court case is pending, all
wages of such debtors must
be withheld, : leaving them
without money to buy neces-
stiles, Judge Walsh testified.
