said losing his job was 'un-

bad off,"

and I'll get another job" he
said.
Program Logs Sought
Robert w. Lishman, commit
tee counsel, has been seeking to
obtain logs Of record programs
at KYW. The station told COM
mittee investigators it was un-
able to find the logs for the
disc jockey programs, If they
were still on file.
The committees interest is
in ascertaining how many times
particular records were played.
Mr.. Finan declared in his
statement that he may have
saved the record companies he
served as much as 100 times
the amounts they paid him.
His expert advice on a records

far more valuable than the
money he received. he said.
Mr.. Finan said Mr.. Hopkins
Joined him in this statement.
Favoritism Denied
He declared: 4
Il have never granted q SIM
gle record or q single company
preferential air time for the
money that we received from
these companies"
He said he does not regard
any of the sums paid him as
"payola."
If my career is to be placed
on the block. this should not
happen because a distorted
public notion has been applied
loosely to me-" Mr.. Finan said.

will be only enough employees

Of the stores, he said.
Mr.. .Danzansky said there
was an industry agreement
would take the request under
consideration.
Mr.. Finan, who testified for
three and q half hours yester-
day, then passed out copies of
his statement to the press and
went before television cameras
outside the hearing room to
answer further questions.
The committee, meanwhile,
began questioning Wesley Hop
kins. another former KYW disc
jockey who was fired on the
same day Mr.. Finan was dis
missed.
He testified that he had re-
ceived $13.375 in payments from
record firms over a two-year
period during his employment
at the Cleveland station, but
said his services were rendered
as q consultant on records.
Listening Fees"
1t was brought out that Mr..
Hopkins was receiving an an
nual salary Of $20,800 at the
same time.
He said the payments from
the record firms were given as
listening fees" Asked to de-
fine "payola," he said, ''Payola
is play for pay" He contended
that listening to records and
advising record companies
doesn't fall within this defini-
ton.
Obviously nettled by the
Finan charge of unfair treat
ment, the committee gave MIR.
Hopkins a considerably rougher
time than his fellow disc jockey
had in the witness chair yes
terday.
Brushing aside the explana-
ton given by Mr.. Hopkins
that the payments he received
amounted to a legitimate busi-
ness arrangement, Mr.. Harris
snapped:
you do not think we are so
naive as to fall for the kind
OF explanation you are giving
us, do you?"
Term Held Accepted
The disc jockey, who has
been unemployed since he was
fired by KYW, said he thinks
the term 'payola" is fairly well
accepted in many businesses,
not only in the broadcasting
industry.
Actually your feeling and
philosophy about it was to take
whatever you could get, wasn't
it?" asked Representative Rog.
ers. Democrat Of Texas.
Il didn't look at it that way
at ALL" Mr.. Hopkins replied.
Asked if he considered ac-
cepting outside money to be

Engineer Study
Thomas J. Broyhill said the
company'S plans for the i'm
mediate future are to construct
a pipeline to feed the Chantilly
airport, either from Washing
ton National Airport or from
tankers unloading on the Po-
tomac shore.
Engineers are making a
study to determine the feasibil-
ity Of extending the pipeline
into Maryland" Mr.. Brcyhill
said.
IF fuel is taken on at Bal
timore," he said, =" the company
then could be in a position to
supply Friendship international
Airport and Andrews Air Force
Base in piping petroleum prod
ucts to the Virginia airfields."
Senator Donovan said "I
have no interest in the COM
pany. My sole purpose in in
PRODUCING the bill is to give
some public agency-the State
C Corporation Commission
power to control any corpora
ton that has such broad DOW
ers to plow up my county's
land.
"Also. I believe, it is much
safer for the citizens of Fairfax
County that high octane fuel be
transmitted by underground
pipelines than by tanker, trucks
and railroad cars travelling
through densely populated
areas. It is clear to me that
with the large volume of traf-
&c in and out the Chantilly
airport, fuel will be transported
by pipelines eventually"
No Regulatory Power
At present, he said. the State
Corporation Commission has no
regulatory powers over pipe
lines. His bill would place such
operations Under the jurisdic-
ton Of the sec for future
regulation.
The threat to international
airline operations at the 500
million Dulles Airport came in
a bill to impose a 2-cents-per-
gallon tax on aviation fuels sold
in this State.
At present there is a uniform
Scent tax on all fuels, whether
for airplanes or automobiles.
But airlines now get 2 cents re-
funded on the fuel consumed in
flights over Virginia territory
and the full Scents returned on
fuel consumed beyond the
States borders.
Delegate Grady Dalton of
Tazewell introduced the bill
that would repeal the present
tax formula and impose a q
cent tax on all fuel sold in
Virginia. Thomas j. Broyhill
is here to oppose the Dalton
bill.
National Not Involved
Washington National Airport
is not involved. Virginia gave
up It's right to tax aviation
fuels there in 1916 when the
Legislature and Congress rati-
fied an agreement settling the
boundary line between this
State and the District Of Co.

Dulles International Airport,

Of Federal departments and

Celebrating on this recon-
mendation, the House Foreign
Operations Subcommittee said
in a report:

that the continued availability
Of appropriated funds is con-
tingent upon the furnishing OF
complete and accurate informa-
ton relating to the expendi-
ture of such funds to the
appropriate committees of Con-
gress at their request"
At the subcommittee's urg-
ing. the House has voted for
the last two years to cut of
foreign aid funds automatically
in cases where information has
been withheld. The Senate has
softened this restriction, how
ever.
The subcommittee frequently
has complained that the State
Department and the Interna-
Evening star., 1960-08-31

tional Cooperation Adminis-
tration have refused to supply
documents and information it
wants in connection with for
eign aid investigations.
In releasing the report, Sub
committee Chairman Hardy,
Democrat Of Virginia, said that
whenever there are refuSals
or unreasonable delays in fur
nishing requested information
or documents to Congress, it is
natural to question whether
something unfavorable is being
concealed. There is no way to
tell how much waste, incompe-
tence or worse may be hidden
in this manner"
The report said the great bulk
of requested documents are
eventually released, but added:
Because of the timing of
legislation and the shortneSs of
the sessions of the Congress,
delay is frequently tantamount
to complete obstruction, pre-
venting the timely exposure
and correction of executive
branch errors.
THE Congress itself is the
best judge of what informa-
ton it needs. Unilateral selec-
tion by the executive branch
Of the information which the
Congress will be permitted to
see, can and frequently does,
result in giving Congress a dis
torted picture"

Youth Held
In Bomb BIust
Dies inCrush

GADSDEN, Ala, Aug. 81
CAP).-A Nazi-inspired youth
who was slated to go before a
grand jury in connection with
an attempt to bomb a syna-
gogue has been killed in an
automobile accident.
Authorities said Jerry Hunt,
II, apparently had been speed
ing back and forth in front of
a Junior high school and firing
a shotgun from a window when
the car chaShed into a tree
yesterday.
The school band was drilling
and Coroner Noble Yocum said
Jerry, driving a taXicab owned
by his father, APPARENTLY wanted
to attract attention.
The coroner said the youth
apparently lost control OF the
car just after rounding a curve
about two blocks from the
school in nearby Alfalfa.
Jerry had been charged with
two counts of assault with in
tent to murder in the synagogue
incident March 25. He had
been free on $4,000 bond.
1 Investigating officers said at
the time that Jerry, then l6,
was a fanatical student of Nazi-
ism and admirer Of Hitler's
storm troopers.
In the synagogue incident,
the boy admitted to police that
he threw a fire bomb made
from a soft drink bottle filled
with gasoline. The bottle struck
q stained glass window at Beth
Israel Reform Synagogue and
burst into flames. However, it
failed to break through the
wire mesh in the glass and fell
to the ground.
Two members of the congre-
cation ran into a spray of
.22-caliber bullets as they
rushed out to investigate. Both
were wounded, one critically,
but they recovered.

KENNEDY WINS-BUT MARGIN I!
THE PRESIDENTIAL election Of 1860 will be the
topic Of much discussion for many months to come.
Three of the four major polls had given the election to
Kennedy, but what seems unusual this time was the
margin Of undecided, which turned out to make the
election razorthin. Not since Wilson defeated Charles
Evans Hughes has such a situation obtained. In that
election Hughes went to bed thinking he had been
elected. -
WHILE THE RESULTS are known, and it is con-
coded that the margin is much thinner than expected,
no one will ever really know the reason, or reasons.
Students Of politics and commentators generally had
noted that if the margin were narrow then the religious.
issue would be the most Weighty factor. That observa-
ton seems to have been borne out because of the distri-
button of votes. In the Middle West where conservatism
was a paramount, ard the Protestant vote seemingly
united, Vice President Nixon almost swept the entire
region.
ON THE OTHER hand in the East, with its admix-
ture Of population and large Catholic following Ken
nedy won in big fashion. Yet, in this very section there
is indication that Kennedy did not win the solid Catho-
lie vote, which, too, is encouraging because it shows that
the voters might not have put religion first in blind
fashion. +
BUT KENNEDY. is the Presidentelect, and already
some Is Secret Service agents are guarding him at his
Hyannis Port home. He brings many firsts to the Presi-
dency. At 43 he is the youngest man ever to be elected
President. Theodore Roosevelt succeeded to the Presi-
dency when Mckinley was assissinated. Kennedy is the
first Roman Catholic to become President, a fact which
had disturbed much of America because of the supposed
tradition. It is clear, then, that Kennedy had tremen-
dous odds to overcome.
AT THE OUTSET of this campaign the President
elect started out far behind. He had never been known,
seen. or even heard of inmany States. He had his youth
to overcome, and a team of seasoned weHknown public
