Of life," she said. Children

Therefore I think that his
confession will have its salu-

ness not only of this man but
also Of cheating itself.
1T should have a good effect
on young men and women for
that reason. They'll learn that

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (AP)-
Television Producer Albert
Freedman denied today to the
New York Journal-American
that he ever sought $4,000
from Charles Van Doren.
The newspaper obtained the
statement in a telephone in
terview with Mr.. Freedman in
Mexico City.
Mr.. Freedman, one of the
creators of the defunct NBC
quiz show Twenty One, went
to Mexico after testifying be-
more a House subcommittee
probing the quiz show frauds.
Mr.. Van Doren, testifying
before the committee yester-
day, saiO that after he had
won 100000 Mr.. Freedman
once said to him: Charlie,
I think I ought to have $4,000
of that money"
Mr.. Van Doren added. 81

said yesterday, he learned Mr..
Freedman had gone back,
changed his story to the grand
jury and implicated him. 1t
was after this and after the
congressional committee called
him in that Mr.. Van Doren
caved in.
He went to the New York
District Attorney and admitted
he hadn't told the grand jury
the truth. He faced a possible
perjury indictment If he didn't.
He still faces that possibility.
But If he came down and
lied to the congressional COM
mittee, and the Government
could prove it, he faced a
charge and trial for perjury
here. too.
His testimony ended a three
year period Of deceit. Why did
1t happen? True, Mr.. Van
Doren succumbed to the lure
Of fame and money. But why
did this. happen to d man with
his family, educational and
ethical background?
Perhaps Mr.. Van Doren him
self doesn't understand. His
own statement to the commit
tee was moralistic and re-
morseful. But it wasn't analy-
tical.

Patrolman O'Hanlon said he
never was given questions and
answers in advance, but that
producers may have helped on
occasion by giving questions on
the show in areas where he was

He said none Of the questions

they were in the same general

Mrs. Norma Gilman of Thorn

questions on Thursday and
Friday.

from those asked, but I didn't

Mrs. Gilman said she spent
48 to so hours a week reading

Washington area teachers
reacted swiftly today to the
admissions of a fellow educat-
or, Charles Van Doren.
I'VE were all very disap-
pointed, declared Prof. Alfred
A. Crowell, head Of the Uni
versity Of Maryland's commu-
nications department. "He is
going to find people in and out
of the profession sympathizing
with him but not forgiving
him."
Mr.. Van Doren, who yester-
day admitted he was deeply
involved" in the rigging of the
television quiz show thats made
him famous, has resigned as
an assistant professor of Eng
lish at Columbia University.
ivan Doren," Mr.. Crowell
said, sis a great name in edu-
cation and it's a shame that
this had to happen. I think
education is too important and
too big to suffer from the eff
fects of his actions.
II also think people will
blame Madison avenue New
York's advertising center) and
the people connected with the
program rather than the teach
ing profession"
Changed Impression
Another educator, Prof. Ross
P. Schlabach Of the journalism
department at George WASH
ington University, commented:
HE (Mr. Van Doren) created
a good impression as a teacher
while he was appearing. IN
fortunately. now it is a bad
impression.
But I do not think the &C
ton Of any one person. unfor-
tunate as it may be, in the long
run will have an adverse effect
on peoples opinion of educa-
ton and teachers in general"
Prof. H. d. Crawford of
American University said he
believed Mr.. Van Doren's con-
fession spotlighted the need for
a cleanup Of television.
THE real ISSUE" Prof.
Crawford said, "is how to pre-
vent television sponsors from
doing this in the future. It
should also impress television
stations and networks"
Prof. Crawford said Mr.. Van
Doren's statement was "a COM
mendable thing, but long over
due"
He added:
"At long last, his confession
will probably create a favor
able impression for him. There
is always a feeling of warmth
for a person who confesses he's
wrong. He's now the under
dog. The public will give him
