Hope for Compromise
The hope in Washington
had been that feuding anti
Communist elements could
suppress their differences to
come up with compromise can
didates to stand off Commu-
mist contenders. So far, how
ever, dissentions continue to
plague the anti-Communist
factions.
The present 59-seat National
Assembly contains IS members
of the procurement Rally
of the Lao people.
The next ranking party was
a pro-Communist group with
nine seats. Eight Of the pro-
Reds have been Jailed.
In addition, there have been
seven neutralists, four indie
pendents and three members
of the democratic party, a
splinter group not identified
with any of the other factions.
A representative of United
Nations Secretary Genera
Hammarskjold still is stationed

Chairman John c. Doerfer
Of the Federal Communications
Commission and Representa-
tive Harris, Democrat of Ar
kansas, have clashed publicly
on whether payola is wide
spread in television and radio.
Both men spoke yesterday to
about 200 representatives of
stations affiliated with the CHS
television network. Mr.. Doer-
fer, who opposes Mr.. Harris
idea for Federal monitoring of
programs. had the first inning
He told the broadcasters:
II would suggest to the print
ed media that If a chill is out
upon the freedom of expression
in the broadcasting media. how
far behind can a bleak winter
be for the printed media ?"

Legislative Oversight subcom-
mittee which exposed rigging

abuses, then got his ticks.
He said, 1.-The exposures have
been we'll publicized. They have
been admitted and it has been
widespread. 1t is not a hoax,
nor is it a canard."
That was a direct slap at
Mr.. Doerfer, who in a speech
a week ago said charges of
widespread corruption in the
industry ARE, in my opinion,
canards." In the same speech
Mr.. Doerfer said, Admittedly
there have been some repre-.
hensible receptions and prac,
tices. Proportionately, it has
been small and no greater
than in other industries"
Mr.. Harris contended Mr.
Doerfer's comparison of broad
casting with other industries
Is an argument for the status
quo. Mr.. Harris cited the testi-
mony before his committee OF
Boston disc Jockey Stan Rich
ards. who said he got $4,000
in loans and gifts from record
makers but saw nothing wrong
with it.
Mr.. Harris said Mr.. Richards
viewed this as the American
way of life: Here's what II
do for you; now what will YOU
do for me?"

minds that a similar fair was

The Baltimore paper, quot.

referred to the "creditable
ar ay" of the products exhibited
at the fair, but devoted consid-
cradle space to the high caliber
of the patrons who came to
view the exhibit. The Clipper
reported as follows:

Two taxpayers, w. Lawson

In his opinion, Judge Pugh

result in removing authority

the hands of the residents.

their opposition by ousting their
officials at the election polls.

Crash Drive
Is Launched
For Hospital

A To-day Crash" pro-
gram is underway to raise
an additional 100000 for
the Silver Spring Hospital
Building Fund.
General Campaign Chairman
Frank H. Proudfoot said the
drive will extend through No
vember %. A committee of 100
will participate in this "Oper-
alton Thanksgiving" he added
with a huge victory celebration
to be held during Thanksgiving
week.
Ten of Montgomery County's
most prominent citizens will
spearhead the campaign among
some 300 leading business and
industrial leaders and firms.
So far more than S400, 900 has
been raised in cash and pledges
to help build the 300-bed hos
pital on Forest Glen I'd. over.
looking Sligo park. The hospital
will have 200 beds initially with
future expansion to 300 without
additional construction. Its cost
now is put at 81 million.
"The success of our residen.
tial committee which raised
100000 and the tremendous
support, both financially and
morally, we have received from
the community's doctors have
been heartwarming evidence OF
the support this hospital has in
the community" Proudfoot
said.
Ground was broken on the
hospital last May and actual
construction is scheduled to get
underway this fall. The com,
munity, however, must raise 81
million to help finance construc.
ton in this homecoming cam.
paign, Proudfoot emphasized.

ment by the legislature. Since
1850, the suit noted, 10 bills
providing "some measure of re-
apportionment" have been killed
by the general assembly.
Seek to Block Elections
The committee asked the
court to void the results of 1862
elections unless they are held
at large or some form of reap
portionment is provided, and
requested further that the court
retain jurisdiction in the case
until the legislature is reappor-
toned Gin conformity with the
Fourteenth Amendment"
If the governor and election
officials are permitted to hold
the 1862 elections under the ex-
isting provisions for apportion-
ment, the plaintiffs held, they
win suffer "irreparable injury
to their Constitutional rights,
federal and state"
Royce Hanson, executive vice
president of the committee, said
the court action is merely an
initial phase of the groups
campaign to bring about reap
portionment. This fall, he said,
the committee will initiate a pc.
tition for a referendum on the
same questions cited in the Dill
