Disc Jockey
Sdys7F Firms
Paid $4,000
Tells House Unit
Of Fees to Favor
Certuin Records
By ROBERT E. CLARK
Star stan Writer

A former Cleveland disc
jockey admitted today that he
was paid $12.800 by seven rec
ord promoters over a two-year
period before he was fired by
Station KYW.
Testifying at House payola
hearings, the disc Jockey. Jo-
seph Finan. said that in at
least one instance he collected
specific payments to plug spe-
cific records on his program.
In other cases. he told the
committee, he promised to give
record distributors special con-
sideration" in return for fiat
monthly fees that ranged up
to 5000.
The Legislative Oversight
Subcommittee recessed for
lunch before Mr.. Finan COM
pleted his story. A committee
spokesman said several other
cases still to be aired would
add substantially to the total
for the two-year period.
Fired In December
Mr.. Finan, one of Cleveland's
most popular disc jockeys, was
fired by KYW last December 3
after submitting a list of what
he described as his outside
activities" to station officials.
Robert w. Lishman, COM
mittee counsel, read a list of
record distributors one by one
today, plying Mr.. Finan with
questions about the financial
arrangements he had made with
each.
The disc jockey objected to a
sworn statement by officials of
the distributing firm represent
ing RCA Victor records in
Cleveland that he had agreed
to accept $50 weekly for each
record he plugged.
But he readily agreed with
most of the other figures pro-
duced by Mr.. Lishman.
Mr.. Finan said financial ar
rangements with record pro-
motors included acceptance of
$500 a month from Hugo e.
Luigi Productions Of New York
for seven months to give "spe-
cial consideration" to their
records.
"FOr Special Attention"
Shad Record Co., Mr.. Finan
testified, also paid him 5000 a
month for a seven-month Pc
riod last year "for special at
tention in listening to their
records and, of course, playing
them If I liked them"
Big Top Record Co. Of New
York paid him $3.50 to plug
each Of three specific records,
he said. He collected $50 a
week from Mercury Records
during 1858 and 1859, Mr..
Finan told the committee.
This amounted to some
SIS, 200, the largest amount paid
him by any one record dis
tributor, Mr.. Finan said.
The former KYW disc jockey
said he was also on the payroll
of Cosmat Distributing Co., an
independent record producer,
for a year-long period in

poets to spend three or four

Mr.. Hagerty said the Pres

Mr.. Eisenhower plans to take

Base at $3.50 am. for the two

Concern expressed by Sena-
tors about public disclosures
of security information brought
a super-cautious air to the
hearings. 1t seemed unlikely
that the missile-gap figures
would be discussed publicly in
the future by the committees.
Yesterday, Senator Syming-

would give the true percentage

A former Air Force sergeant
who escaped a murder charge
because of insanity must pay
civil damages, District Court
Judge Edward A. Tamm ruled
today.
1t was the first Washington
court ruling that an insane
person can be liable for COM
pensatory damages to the same
extent as a sane person.
Judge Tamm cited a Ken
lucky court case as the basis
for his decision. This case
also concluded that an insane
person could not be held liable
for punitive damages.
The defendant, Harry C.
Porter, 80, has been a patient
at st. Elizabeths Hospital since
1852. Porter's savings total
about $10,900 and have accum-
ulated from Air Force disability
payments. according to his at
torney, Ethelbert B. Frey.
Award of S16,459
Judge Tamm's ruling was In
favor of Aetna Casualty and
Surety Co. for $16,459 against
Porter.
The defendant had been ac-
cused of strangling Miss Code
A. Whitman, 80, an attractive
Pentagon clerk on July IL, 1852
in her apartment in the 1900
block of Euclid street NV.
Porter was working part time
as a painter. Aetna, which had
insured his employer, agreed
in 1856 to pay $1,000 for
