Rigging of Ratings

Senator Monroney, Democrat
of Oklahoma, a committee
member, has raised critical
questions about the accuracy Of
rating bureaus, and this also
will be subject of inquiry, the
sources said.
These bureaus rate the popu-
larity of the various TV pro-
grams, and their findings are
important to whether programs
survive.
Senator Monroney has de-
manded assurances that ade-
quate precautions are taken
against the rigging of ratings.
He probably will preside at this
part of the hearings.

Tv Industry
Facing Probe
In Senate, Too
By the Associated Press

The television industry, which
underwent investigation by a
House subcommittee last fall,
faces a wide-ranging Senate
probe when Congress recon-
VeneS.
The Senate Commerce Com
mittee already is laying the
groundwork for hearings, and
aides to Chairman Magnuson,
Democrat of Washington, said
a date may be set soon after
Congress returns next week.
The Commerce Committee
handles legislation affecting
radio and television. Although
broader in scope, its hearings
apparently will cover some of
the same territory already ex-
plored by the House Subcom-
mittee on Legislative Oversight.
The House group, set up to
check on Federal regulatory
agencies, is the one which
checked into the fixing of tele-
vision quiz shows and is now
looking into "payola," or side
payments to affect the choice
Of music and other program
materials. This group also may
hold hearings next month.

Calling Top Executives
Spokesman said witnesses
before the Senate committee
will include top executives from
within the industry and Off
cials Of Government agencies
having regulatory powers over
it, for questioning on many is
sues.
These will include, the
spokesmen said:
! /. What the industry is doing
to wip out such irregularities
as the fixing of quiz shows.
2. What the regulatory agen-
cies are doing to see to it that
the housecleaning is thorough.
and what is being done by the
Government and industry to
curb misleading advertising in
televised programs. There also
have been complaints that some
Of the advertising is in bad
taste.
3. What the Federal Com
munications Commits sion is
doing to provide and foster bet
ter service to viewers in gen.
eral, and particularly in areas
remote from established broad
cast stations. This includes
proposals to make more chan
nels available.

also a Roman Catholic, said
Il certainly don't believe this

Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat of Minnesota, a member of

said the issue is not one "on
which our Government should
set policy for other nations
and people. Nor should any
policy be adopted to deny in
formation and assistance if
such nations determine that it
is essential to their national
welfare. American foreign aid
should not be denied on the
basis Of any country policy

should be supplied"
The committee said nothing
about forcing such a program
on any nation by making it g
tie-in on foreign aid funds.
In reply to questions from
lnewsmen, several possible can
didates for the 1860 presiden-
tial nomination expressed their
views on the Catholic bishops
statement. Vice President
Nixon was not reached for COM
ment.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
a potential Republican preSi-
dental aspirant, and several
Democrats said they would
provide birth control informa-
ton to any requesting nation,
But 1t would not be a requisite
to receiving United States for
eign aid money.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat
of Massachusetts,, a Roman
Catholic, said he would not
advocate use of Federal funds
for any sort of birth control
measures in other countries. He
said his views were not the

1t added:
IF crisis situations become
more and more imminent as a
result of growing population
presSureS, government agencies
and private organizations will
very likely resort to strong pro-
grams for reducing the level of
fertility in come other less de-
veloped countries"
The department study said
that the faster populations ex-
pand in the underdeveloped
areas the greater becomes the
need for economic growth and
the more difficult the problem
of providing it.
Death Rise Feared
II birth rates remain at ira
ditional high levels" the study
said, economic expansion must
eventually be achieved or death
rates will lbe forced up again
In the long run, a country can
have low death rates with all
that they imply in the way of
economic and social we'll being
only if a reasonable balance
is maintained between popula-
tion growth and available re-
sources"
A special study committee
recommended to President Eli
Isenhower last summer that the
United States supply to any re-
questing nations information
on how to keep rapidly ex-
panding populations within
bounds.
The words birth control"
were not used by the commit
tee. But william H. Draper, jr.,
the committee chairman, told
Evening star., 1959-11-30

Africa and Latin America Is
actually widening instead oi
narrowing. 1t says the reason
is that economic growth can
not keep pace with population
growth and the increased de-
mand for food and clothing
which it creates.
The high rate of population
expansion is attributed not to
a higher birth rate but to a
rapid decline in the death rate
achieved by medical science
before there has been any
really substantial improve
ment in levels Of living"
Study Prepared in July
The population study, pre-
pared last July by the State
Departments intelligence and
research bureau, analyses the
facts without stating any policy
proposals.
The report has gained special
interest because of the develop
ment of what may become a
political argument over the
promotion of birth control
measures. The issue arose last
Wednesday when the Roman
Catholic bishops of the United
States said United States Cath
olicS would not support the use
of American foreign aid funds
to promote artificial birth con-
