against Eddie Hodges. the boy
star Of 1.-THE Music Man."
Patty, a beautiful child with
straight hair falling over her
shoulders, sat at one end Of the
committee dais. She was dressed
in q gray flannel jumper with
o white blouse. white knee
socks and black pumps. At
times she talked animatedly
with some Of those sitting
around her, and then intently
watched the showing of the
tilm. She and the Hodges boy
tied at the $4,000 level on the
show. Their subject was popu-
lar songs.
The committee was building
q damaging case against The
$64.00 Challenge which. to-
gether with The $64, 900 Cues
tion. was among the most pop
ular of the nighttime quiz
shows.
~ 1t previously had heard tes-
tinony of extensive rigging on
two Of the other big-tirne quiz
programs. Twenty One and Tic
Tao Dough.
Mr.. Cugat said he asked for
the category Of Latin Ameri-
can music or art after his pub
licity man set UP the appear
ance on The $4,000 Challenge.
Hotel Date Planned
He thought it would be a
good idea, Mr.. Cugat said. if
he appeared on a quiz show
as his band was preparing to
open an engagement at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
"At that time / thought the
quiz shows were strictly ON the
up and up" Mr.. Cugat told the
committee.
He soon learned differently,
he related. His publicity man
told him his category would
be popular music instead of his
preferred fields, but advised him
mot to worry"
His visit from Mr.. Koplin
followed.
Addressing the committee in
serious tones, the bandleader
said:
IT know I have broken no law
and I intended no injury to
any person.
IF there was too much make
believe, I wish you could do
something about it without
giving entertainment too much
Of a black eye."
Told Grand Jury
Mr.. Cugat said he already
had given the full facts he re-
lated today to the New York
grand jury which investigated
the quiz scandals.
The band leader said his only
purpose in appearing on the
show was to get in free plugs"
for his engagement at the Wal
dorf-Astoria. Some members
Of the committee made it plain,
however, that they felt the
rigging of the quiz program
was no less offensive even
though publicity was the pri-
mary aim.
1T was plain out-and-out
fraud and deception" declared
Representative Bennett, Repub-
lican of Michigan.
Asked Why He Quit
"Why did you quit at $16,-
000?" Representative Rogers,
Democrat of Texas, asked the
witness.
II didn't quit" Mr.. Cugat
replied. "They quit me-"
How did they quit you?"
"They pronounced me a win
ner and that was it,"
Referring to Mr.. Cugat's
testimony that he had told the
full truth to the grand jury,
Mr.. Rogers said:
"You were not one Of the
perjurers and I want to COM
mend you for that"
Under questioning by Repre-
sentative Moss, Democrat of
California, Mr.. Cugat acknowl-
edged that a press release had
been issued denying that he

Pre- Emergence Spray
On Corn Calls For
Low Volatile Form

Some Virginia farmers seem to
be confused about what form of
PAD to use as a pre- emergence
spray on corn. reports Dr. G M
Shear, plant psychologist at VPl
He says the low volatile ester
form is the form to use There are
some good reasons for this recon-
mendahon. 1t is not as much Of a
hazard to nearby crops as the VIOLA
tile form, and IS not as easily
leached as the water soluble anime
form. II the volatile form is used,
Dr.. Shear says. it may drift and
severely injure other crops. or the
fumes may escape at mixing or
storage points If the anime form
is used as pre-emergence spray,
and heavy rains occur before the
weeds come up the effectiveness Of
the material may be reduced.
The loW-volatile ester form should
be used at planting time at the
rate OF one and one-haf pounds
actual material per acre. Low Ell
rates may sometimes give satisfac
/ tory week control, but You can't
depend on them for consistent re-
! suits
1 The anime form is satisfactory
as post-emergence spray, the
4 scientist says.

Presidents Rights Bill
Faces Two-EdgedF Fight

The two extreme wings in
Congress on race questions to-
day were sharpening their
knives for a whack at Presi-
dent EiSenhower's 7-point civil
rights bill.
Members OF the So-called
liberal bloc complained that
the program delivered to the
Capitol yesterday lacks en-
forcement teeth. SouthernerS
generally, saw it as politically
motivated and an unnecessary
intrusion on States rights.
Senator Douglas, Democrat
of Illinois. who has offered 8
far more stringent measure, ex-
pressed disappointment. While
granting that the Eisenhower
program represents a modest
step forward" he decried the
fact that it did not call fol-
authority for the Attorney
General to initiate litigation il

Z Held in Plot
To Steal Gold
By the Associated Press

The Secret Service today
announced the arrest of two
Salt Lake City men accused
of taking part in a conspiracy
to steal gold from the Kenne-
colt Copper Co. and sell it on
the black market.
The arrests were made last
night in Salt Lake City. The
men were to be arraigned in
Federal Court there today on
charges of acquiring and hold
ing gold without authority.
Secret Service headquarters
here said about $2.100 in stolen
gold was seized from a Salt
Lake City assayer.
A spokesman said the inves-
tigation is continuing. He in
dicated there might be more
arrests.
Kennecott disclosed several
months ago that investigation
showed a shortage in its gold
inventory. The amount has
never been disclosed.
Those arrested were identi-
fed as James Maughan, 81, an
employe of the Pioneer Realty
Co., Salt Lake City, and
Thomas M. Montgomery, %, q
Kennecott employe.

Today he told the House
committee that the United
States could produce as many

The Secretary assured the

He added that Americas mill

based missile I'VE cans produce
more Atlas ICBMS."
On another matter, Chair
man VinSon told opponents Of
the administrators plan to
cut Marine Corps strength to
175,000 men that they can
make a higher manpower level
mandatory by legislation.
The Georgia Democrat chided
the critics for making diScre-
tionary with the President as
to whether the Marine Corps
should be built up to a 10000
man force. Last year Congress
voted funds for such a force
but did not make it mandatory

HumPhrey'F Tales
Hit by Khrushchev

viSionists have taken this fab
ricator unto themselves as a
witness. The very idea that
I could have been in any way
confidential with a man who
himself boasts of his 20-year
struggle against Communism
can only serve to raise a laugh,
Anybody who has the
slightest knowledge of politics,
not to speak of a knowledge
of Marxism-LeniniSm, will un-
derstand how unthinkable q
confidential talk with Hum
phrey would be on questions
of the policy of Communist
parties, on our relations with
our best friends, the leading
people in the Communist Party
of China.
Evidently, matters are going
so badly with the Yugoslav re-
visionists that they are picking
up all sorts of ridiculous inven-
tions. This reminds of the way
newspaper peddlerS sold their
gutter papers in Tsarist Russia.
The newspaper seller would
come running along shouting
Extraordinary occurrence
Woman gives birth to a girl
with whiSkerS!"
And the inexperienced read
er, of course, would grab the
newspaper and look for the re-
port of that event and not find
anything of the sort. But the
newspaper peddler had sold his
paper and he had done his
job.
