Law Not Clear,
Chairman Tells
House Probers
~ ,rCrr xTOVVANn

Chairman Earl w. Kintner
of the Federal Trade Commits
sion told House investigators
today there is serious doubt"
the commission has any juris-
diction over television. quiz
shows.
Mr.. Kintner said matters OF
this kind represent a gray
area in the law"
The ETC chairman and other
commission officials were wit
nesses as the House Legislative
Oversight Subcommittee sought
to wind up its hearings on the
rigging of quiz shows.
No Word From Van DOren
AS the hearings got under
way today, Chairman Harris,
Democrat Of Arkansas, said he
still has received no word on
whether Charles Van Doren,
who won $4,000 on the scam
dal-wrecked Twenty One show,
would appear for questioning.
Mr.. Van Doren has not re-
sponded to the subcommittee
invitation to testify. The invi-
tation was extended last
Wednesday.
Mr.. Kintner said in answer
to questions, "If the testimony
here has been correct then
certainly the public was de-
ceived and the practices are
what we normally call fraudu-
lent"
Basically, Mr.. Kintner said,
this is a problem of business
morals and ethics, not of vio-
lation of a law. Mr.. Harris
asked If he did not think new
laws were necessary.
Kintner Agrees
Legislation certainly would
be a sure way of handling the
problem" Mr.. Kintner said.
"You could make it a criminal
offense if anyone rugged a TV
program. have no doubt
that would have a statutory eff
feet"
He said the ETC would be
very happy to work with you in
any formulation of legislation
you may desire" But Mr.. Kint-
ner said also that it would be
desirable for the television in
dustry to police itself so that
Government Intervention would
not be necessary.
Representative Rogers, DEM
ocrat of Texas, described Mr..
Kintner's suggestions for self
policing as like an agreement
with a bunch of tigers not to
eat a bunch of lambs"
The Texan said sit is dis
grace" that the rigging had
been allowed to go on without
anything being done to stop
the practice. He added that
"the industry was only inter-
ested in dollars"
Mr.. Kintner undertook to
say that he thought the indus
try would be very careful in
the future, but Mr.. Rogers in
terupted him to exclaim:
They've fallen on their face
so far"
MIR. Kintner said the ETC

Aid Savings
In Wet Nam
Put 10 Herter
by the Associated Press

Senator Mansfield, Democrat
Of Montana, said today that
Congress is putting up to the
State Department full respon-
sibility for eliminating waste
and mismanagement in foreign
aid spending.
Senator Mansfield, assistant
Senate majority leader, said
AL the tools that are needed
for a cleanup" are provided in
the compromise 1856, 200, 900
foreign aid bill on which the
House acts tomorrow.
He commented in an inter-
view after calling on the State
Department to prepare for a
full airing in Congress OF re-
ported waste and maladminis-
tration of the program in South
Wet Nam.
Senator Mansfield wrote Act
ing Secretary of State Dillon
that he hopes to arrange for
a Foreign Relations Subcom-
mittee he heads to conduct
hearings in the near future on
the aid program in Wet Nam
IN particular and Southeast
Asia in general"
Foreign aid programs in
Wet Nam already have been
criticized in a series of reports
by the General Accounting
ONCE. In reply the Interna-
tional Cooperation Admins
tration explained some of the
alleged discrepancies and con-
ceded others resulted from
mistakes it said have since
been corrected. But it said
the overall worth of the pro-
gram had been proved by the
progress the Nation is making
in remaining free.
Senator Mansfield also said
he is writing a second letter
to Mr.. Dillon calling attention
to changes in the foreign-aid
bill which he said give the
State Department unprece-
dented new controls over the
spending.
Among other things, he said
the bill would make the Secre-
tary of State responsible for
supervision and general direc-
ton of military assistance and
establish an Office of inspector
general in the State Depart
ment to audit and control all
aspects of the program, mill
tary and economic.

military force in world history, has

tional collaboration in defense of peace
and security. He has committed him
self in each year of his tenure in the
White House to the successfully tougher
and tougher battle on behalf of the

strumentality in preserving the type of
peacetime alliance, military and eco
nomic, in which he so deeply believes.

The Last Word

1t might be the part of wisdom to
stay out of the line of fire when Sena-
tor Morse and Mrs. Clare Booth Luce
are taking verbal shots at each other.
For both are quick on the draw and
even the most innocent of innocent by
ISLANDERS is apt to be winged If he gets
in the way.
In the latest exchange between the
Senator from oregon and our new AM
baSsador to Brazil, however, few OBJ
servations appear to be in order
One is that the Senate is not going
to come tumbling down because Mrs.
Luce, after she had been confirmed by
a 79-to-11 vote, rather acidly suggested
that Senator Morse had not fully recov-
cred from the effects of being kicked
in the head by horse in 1851, This
was not very tactful thing for Mrs.
Luce to say. But Senator Morse is not
the only Senator who has said much
worse things about other people.
A second point is that Mrs Luce
was not lacking in provocation. In his
three-hour speech Senator Morse said
some very harsh things about her. He
accused Mrs. Luce of intellectual diShon-
esty. He said she was guilty of Sub
version" and "untruthfulneSS," that she
was "besmircher" and "slanderer.
AS a final thrust, and this must have
been the unkindest cut, the Oregonian
said that Mrs. Luce was best fitted to
serve, of all things, as a political
Ratchet man." If Mrs. Luce was upset,
and a bit sharp-tongued in her turn,
who is to blame her?
Finally, there is the generally ac-
cepted notion that lady is entitled to
the last word In an exchange with
Senator Morse, however, it is not an
easy thing for anyone, except Senator
Morse, to get the last word. If Mrs.
Luce can do it she certainly is not
devoid of qualifications for her new
assignment.

The Record Is Clear

Senator Mcclellan certainly is right
in saying that the record which his
committee has established clearly re-
vealS the need for effective labor legisla-
ton. He may also be right when he
says that if Congress will not pass a
good law on the basis of the established
record, it would not do so if the record
were to be doubled.
It does not necessarily follow, how
ever, that the Mcclellan Committee
should close up shop when it finishes
the hearings which its staff has pre-
pared For congressional action, or in
action, is not dictated exclusively by
what appears in the record. There is
also the factor of public opinion, and
this may be more potent than the
record itself.
Perhaps the committees disclosures
of outrageous abuses in some unions
have had their maximum impact on
public opinion. 1t may be that the
point has been reached at which famili-
arity is beginning to breed contempt,
or at least Indifference. We doubt,
however that this is the case. There
is, it seems to us, strong and wide
spread public desire for legislation
which will clean up the thieving and
the racketeering which have been ex-
posed. The bill which has passed the
Senate, and which now faces an uncer-
tain future in the House, may or may
not do the trick. Even if finally enacted,
there is reason to doubt that it is COM
prehensive enough and tough enough to
produce the desired results. The test of
this is not in what Senators say about
the bill, but in what it accomplishes if
passed and put into operation. In view
of this it would be good idea, we
believe, for the Mcclellan Committee to
ride herd on whatever law may emerge
so that the people can be kept informed
of what it accomplishes and what it
fails to accomplish. No more useful
service could be rendered, and no COM
mittee is better equipped for the job.

Fuuouier's HERITAGE

On its 200th birthday anniversary,
Fauquier County, Virginia, has reason
to look back with pride upon its colorful,
historic past For the history of this
land of rolling hills, prosperous farms,
horse fanciers and illustrious citizens is
closely linked with the growth of the
Nation itself from Colonial days to the
present.
Fauquier County was born on May /,
1859, when, by act of the General As
sembly, it's $50 square miles were carved
out of Prince William County and named
for Virginia's benevolent Royal Cover
nor, Francis Fauquier One Of its young
sons at that time was Thomas Marshall,
a surveyor who, upon the outbreak of
the Revolution, became captain of
company of Fauquier volunteers. Cap
tain Marshall's son, John, was to become
Chief Justice of the United States, serv-
ing for "a years Tomorrow statue of
the Chief Justice will be unveiled in
front of the court house at Warrenton,
and his old home, Oak Hill, near Mar
shall, will be opened to the public.
Warrenton, the county seat has
Civil War associations, too. The town
served as the capital" of what was
known as "MoSby's Confederacy"
Northern Virginia counties over which
the Confederate Gray Ghost" Colonel
John S. Mosby, ranged with his elusive
guerrillas in their successful raids on
Union troops and supply lines. Colonel
MoSby is buried in Warrenton and a
number of his descendants live nearby.
Today Fauquier County still retains
much of its rural attractiveneSs, al
though progress" in the form of motels,
SupermarketS and other modern-day
developments is pressing hard upon it.
1t is good to know, however, that Fau-
quier has not forgotten its past, as it
looks ahead to promising future. We
extend our heartiest bicentennial wishes
to the county and its citizens.

Loymen VS.. Lawyers

The information about le-

lished in This Week magazine
will be written by leading
legal authorities, it is an
nounced, and accordingly
will represent the viewpoint
of the organized bar.
1t would be most interest
ing to balance this one-sided
presentation by permitting a
well-informed layman to ex-
press the opposite view. The
articles will undoubtedly tell
the public only those things
that are to the credit of the
profession and there is plenty
on the other side of the
ledger. 1t is in the highest
traditions Of journalism, the
law, and our system of gov
eminent. to present all the
facts, to hear not only the
prosecution but also the de-
tense, and to promote fair
and impartial hearings. The
public ought to know not
merely how good the law is
but also how it ought to be
improved. You have the TO-
rum and you have competent
writer's. Or is the organized
bar another sacred COW?
