hard to draw a dividing line
between partial and absolute
program control. And that is
only one step from George Or
wells 1884. We've ali got to
acknowledge the need for
greater self discipline and
tighter supervision in the in
dustry.

of program control is a step

Cites Revenue Factor
The radio and television exc
cutives also received a report
that the number of radio sta
tons in the past Is years has
increased 245 per cent but only
revenues of those serving the
very largest and smallest
markets have increased.
In another aspect of broad
casting, Mr.. Fellows told the
gathering that powerful forces
in the distilling industry" are
trying to break down the bar
rier against hard liquor adj
vertising on the air, and added:
IF there was ever a case,
however, in which we should
put public consideration above
private gain, this is it."

TVReodyto Do OwnPo|icing
To BoIk fraud, Official Says
BY CECIL HOLLAND
star stan Writer

The television industry stands
prepared to do its own policing
to prevent deceit and fraud in
quiz shows and other programs,
Harold E. Fellows, president Of
the National Association of
Broadcasters, said today.
IT will not try to explain or
Justify this unfortunate episode
in broadcasting, wherein out
side packaging producers have
hoodwinked the public and the
broadcasters whose facilities
they use," Mr.. Fellows said. II
assure you that we are fully
aware of the broadcaster's re-
sponsibility to the viewing pub
lie"
The NAB official said the
television quiz show scandals
may be a challenge to our sys-
tenn of voluntary self-regula-
ton" He said the association
was recommending that its
Television Code Review Board
consider further safeguards
against Misrepresentation and
deceit"
Other Meetings Slated
Mr.. Fellows spoke before the
NAB fall conference at the
Mayflower Hotel. the first of
eight such meetings to be held
throughout the country.
Some of. the 800 radio and
television executives attending
the conference, in individual in
terviewS. expressed their con-
Germ over the scandals impact
on the industry.
Several saw in the threat of
legislation directed against
preventing the rigging of quiz
shows a step that would lead
to control over all programs
land the end of television as we
know it,"
Mr.. Fellows UNDERSIGNED the
call issued before the organiza-
ton yesterday by Earl w. Kint-
ner, chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission, for the or
ganization to clean it's own
house.
Urges Self Regulation
Mr.. Kintner said the indus
try and its individual members
should police it's advertising
and programming so we'll that
more laws and more regula-
lions and more policing are not
needed" If self-regulation is
not effective, Mr.. Kintner
warned, it will become neces-
Sary for the Government to
provide whatever policing is
required by the public interest.
May I emphasize-and I
am sure that I speak for all
broadcasters," Mr.. Fellows told
the meeting, 1--WE are disturbed
by this situation. Equally so,
we are not unmindful of our
responsibilities to our viewers
that exist under the American
system of free broadcasting.
1.-THE industry has proved, in
its four decades of service. it |
can clean its own house when |
necessary"
Mr.. Fellows said the matter
will be taken up with the Tele-
vision Code Review Board at
its fall meeting in Los Angeles,

social worker who later be-
came a Secretary of Commerce
during the Franklin D. Rocse-
welt administration" The right
answer was supposed to be
Harry Hopkins.
But Mr.. AShurst said he still
thinks he was right. 1T was a
matter of opinion, but they
were square with me. After all,
Henry Wallace wanted to give
a bottle of milk to every Hot
Itentot."
The professor who appeared
on the quiz program is James
H. Coberly of 608 North Green
briar street, Arlington. who
teaches American literature at
George Washington University.
Appears as Expert
In an interview today, he said
he appeared as an expert" on
the program a couple of years
ago to assist Navy Comdr. Ed
ward P Stafford of 1923 Glen
more drive, Chevy Chase, Md.
This was a standard practice
on the $4,000 Question" and
both expert and contestant went
into the same booth in front of
the cameras, comforting on
questions.
Comdr. Stafford reached the
$4,000 level the night Mr..
Coberly appeared with him and
paid the professors expenses
to New York.
II just did it as a favor to a
friend and former student" the
professor said.
But l didn't notice anything
wrong. There was no rigging
of questions and answers so far
as I could see," he said.

three hundred, and I ex-
pect it to include one long
playing record"
He sent a lot Of packages,
and I sent him a check. In
the packages were various
things with dials on them.
One was a Harmon Kardon
frequency incubation and
Am. radio. One was Bogen,
which does to sound what an
engine does to an airplane.
A third item was a British
Garrard turn table and
stylus. A fourth was a big
blondewood box. 1t had a
medallion at the bottom
which proclaimed it to be an
authentic I. j. speaker.
1T REQUIRED the serv-
Ices of another radio engi-
neer and writer, Harrie Rich
ardson, to get these things
to emit a squeak. But, once
1t squeaked, was sold on
hi-f1. The sound is soft, eff
fulgent, and fills the ground
floor of the house. The PUNK

In the morning. I start a
stack Of long playing piano
records, featuring George
Foyer, frankie earle and
Roger Williams, and it plays
my favorites for three hours
and As minutes. When / flip
them over, the music is good
for an equal length of time.
Now. my friends tell me
that I haven't lived until
/ have tried stereopho1ic
sound. This, as you know, is
the new device with two
speakers. one taking one set
of sounds, one taking the
other. "You were born with
two ears" Carroll writes.
"Stereo is the result"
If my ears have it, why do
I need it in the speakers?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-01

Under average circumstances,
I'm a sucker for anything
new, from magnetized wall
can openers to automatic ga
rage doors, but stereo eludes
me. Perry Walker had a set,
He invited me to his house
to listen and ! heard a train
roar through one speaker
and out the other and it
scared Smoky, the dog.
General Electric has a
stereo brochure which says,
in part: "At a concert. violins
play to you from your left
and your left ear perceives
the mellow tones slightly bet
ter than the right. Even with
your eyes closed, you can
place their position on-stage.
Now to re-create this
very performance in your
home a stereo system en-
ploys two separate sound
channels, which closely APP
proximate the natural bal
ance and perception of your
hearing"
Why? If the sound is re-
produced faithfully in a hi-fi
set, why must I create a
geographical illusion that
the violinS are on my left
and the oboes, perhaps on
my right? The ears are no
good, as listening posts, I'M
less the sound is translated
into pleasure by the human
brain. And If both ears feed
it to one brain, what hap
pened to the stereo?
MECHANICALLY, stereo
sound is picked up by two
microphoneS. one to the left
of the orchestra, one to the
right. The sounds are fed
separately onto the left and
right sides Of the grooves in
the record. When the rec
ord is played, the sound on
the left side Of the grooves
is fed to one speaker, the
sound on the right side to
the other speaker.
Not for me. May I ask
what happens if Louis Prlma
is betting his version of
Marie in stereo? Which
microphone picks UP which
side of his mouth?
My saloon keeper friend,
Jim Sullivan. just bought a
hi-fi set to go with his mynah-
birds. These birds often talk
more distinctly than the Gus
toners. It is possible that
stereo is for the ones in the
cages.

1 REMEMBER a kindly
old "horse-and- buggy" doc

stalled he used to get so mad

anger drained away. Once he

few years later did he switch
to the car again.
These recollections were
spurred by reading of DR..

ding horse, or even a car, he
uses the airplane. He is doc

Wonder Bread contains IL essential

The amounts OF these IL food
elements in Wonder Bread are COM

This does not suggest that Wonder

LAW IN THE NEWS
Women Seem to Fib
More Than the Men

And these are just the
characteristics which appear
to be responsible for the APP
parent tendency of women
to get into more trouble than
men by telling fibs in court
or when they are otherwise
under oath. They are more
likely than men to lie for
spite, in order to hurt some
one with whom they are dis
pleased. At least reports Of
recent perjury surveys indi-
cate this to be the case. Not
that the records disclose q
higher total number Of
women perjurers than men
perjurers, but the proper.
ton of women criminals colt
victed on this score is higher
One very prominent case
along this line was widely
reported in the press in the
press in the last few weeks.
1t is the celebrated Paris
case referred to as the
"Lacaze affair" 1t involved
a 2S-year-old call girl, Marie
Therese Goyeneche, who adj
mitted bringing false charges
against a rich French indus
trialiSt when her schemes for
blackmailing him backfired.
Miss Goyeneche actually
had 57-year-old Jean Lacaze
in serious trouble before
police broke down her testi-
mony against him. She had
charged him with Offering
her $4,000 to accuse his
nephew of procuring her
in order, she said, to cheat
the nephew out Of his inheri-
lance through an involved
scheme.
