On tap for later investlga-
ton by the House group is

That show is still on the air,
but it appeared to be headed
for trouble, as the result of new
testimony.
Producer Fired
! NBC disclosed that it had

Dough after he refused to
swear that contestants on the
program had not been coached.
The producer was identified
as Howard Felsher and his dis
missal was revealed by Thomas
E. Erwin. NBC vice president
and general attorney, in testi-
mony last night before the

Mr. Erwin gave his testimony
in a session that ran until

he said, he was accused Of

was also told, he testified, that
he would be turned over to the
police.
AS the committee began
looking into the Dotto story,
it was learned that Charles
Van Doren has been invited to
testify. Mr.. Van Doren, now
a $50, 000-a-year National
Broadcasting Co. commentator,
won $129, 900, the all-time rec
ord. on the scandal-wrecked
Twenty-One quiz show.
Mr.. Van Doren has denied
that he ever received any ques-
tons or answers in advance,
Four other witnesses have al
ready testified before the COM
mittee that they were given
such information on the
Twenty-One program.
Treated Fairly, He Says
Mr.. Huschle, the first witness
at, today's hearing, said he
thought he was treated very
fairly" by the producers of
Dotto.
In Dotto, contestants an
swered questions good for five,
eight or ten dots which filled
out the face of mystery figure.
IT was told the questions, the
answers, what value question to
select-five, eight or ten points
and at what point to 'dotto, ;"
Mr.. Huschle said.
He said the shows producers
told MIN the competition among
quiz programs was so great
that they had to insure" the
success of the program.
Warned on "Kickback"
He was warned by the as
sistant producer who briefed
him on the questions never to
offer to 'kickback" any of his
winnings or he would have to be
reported to the shows pro-
ducers.
A kinescope of the July Is,
1858, program was shown to
the committee after Mr..
Huschle took the witness stand.
He proved a competent actor.

and beamlng with pleasure as
he answered questions to which
he already had been given the

He lost to Connie Hines, a
blond modelling student from
Jacksonville. Fla, when she
correctly identified Prime Min
lister Nehru Of India as the
mystery man.
This was on Mr.. HuSchle's
third night time appearance
on Dotto. He was told in adj
vance by the assistant producer
that he was to lose that eve
hing, Mr.. Huschle said.

Mr.. Huschle said he was

ton during the five appear

not as much as he received on
the nighttime show.
He went through the same
type of advance briefings, but
they did not always include the
questions put to him during
the program, he said.

that this was fine, he said, anc

AS an example, he said that
II General Grant" was the
mystery man of the evening
he would be asked at the
coaching session whether he
would recognize the general.
He first became interested in
becoming a Dotto contestant
while watching the television
show with his wife, he said.
They later went to q DotUo per-
Torrance at a New York studio
and he filled out a brief ques-
tionnaire.
Tried to Challenge Brother
He gave his reason for want
ing to be a contestant the fact
that he would like to challenge
his brother in the game, he
said. This seemed to intrigue
the persons who selected con-
teStants.
While he took several tests,
he got the impression that per-
sonality was the decisive factor
In the selection of the con-
testant, Mr.. Husche said.
Representative Rogers, Dem
ocrat Of Texas, inquired If
Mr.. Huschle considered being
coached or taking a dive" as
fraudulent.
In my own mind, I don't
think it is" Mr.. Huschle an
swered.
He undertook to make the
point that the shows were for
entertainment and that they
had to be manipulated to be
interesting. If I had been
pitted against Rinstein the
show would have been mean

Doubtful on Fraud
Because he regarded it as

said, he did not feel any

Mr.. Rogers, unless you are go
ing to have a little tainted dis
honesty, no one Is going to
watch the show"
Mr.. Huschle, who said he is
% years old and holds a degree
from Adelphi College. on Long
Island, N. Y, testified that he
asked the producers Office If
any legal assistance was going
to be provided for contestants

jury investigation. After learn
ing that this apparently had
not been considered. the wit
ness said he was going to tell
the truth and was told in turn
that is exactly what we should
do"
Mrs. Hillman said she was
furnished the questions and
answers and was also given the
name of the person who would
appear in the dotted picture.
Without a clue it would be
almost impossible to recognize
the dotted picture" Subcom-
nittee Counsel Robert w. Lish-
man suggested.
II think So" Mrs. Hillman
replied.
Suspicious of Notebook
Mr.. Hilgemeier testified that
during preparations for the
May 20. 1858, daytime Dotto
show, he noticed that another
contestant, Maria VIM, was
writing something in a note
book. His suspicious were
aroused further by what he re-
garded as an undue amount of
familiarity between Miss VIM
and persons associated with the
show.

Always at the center Of the

as q smear Of Lawrence blood,

All this has got to lead some
