Sees Drop in
TVCrime

A high-ranking network Of
ficial told Senate investigators
yesterday that television has
reached a peak in the total of
crime, detective and Western
programs that will be shown,
and a decline will begin next
fall.
Thomas w. Moore, vice pres
ident in charge of programing
of the American Broadcasting
Co. television network, was test
flying before the Senate Sub
committee on Juvenile violence
on youthful audiences.
Mr.. Moore said ABC was at
the vanguard in bringing hour
long action - adventure type
films to television in 1856.
He said the network will be
at the vanguard again when
the trend is reversed"
He said his network has
dropped many Western or crime
programs for the regular fall
season. He added that "it is
generally understood" that 9TH
er networks will follow suit.
Mr.. Moore said many experts
have assured networks that the
violent content of some West
erns have no adverse effect on
children" because the action
in them is of a ritual nature
and children know how it is
going to come out"
Senator Dodd, chairman of
the subcommittee, asked Mr..
Moore if the violent scenes
shown to the committee were
not contrary to published ABC
policy, forbidding most forms
of violence.
Mr.. Moore said that the vio-
lent acts shown on the screen
were part of an overall plot,
and that they were essential
to understanding of the plot.
Joseph Stamler, an ABC vice
president and m anager of
WABC TV, New York, told the
committee of the public service
awards won by WABC for its
youth Project" The project
includes locally produced pro-
grams geared to building the
character of youth, he said.

Womack husi
Wait in Jail,
Judge Rules

Herman L. Womack was re-
fused permission yesterday to
remain at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, rather than at the Dis
trict Jail, while awaiting trial
on charges of conspjring to
send obscene matter through
the mails.
Chief District Court Judge
David A. Pine made the ruling
although the former Howard
University professors attorney,
Hugh MCGEE, contended that
it would be harmful if his
client is transferred to the Jail
from the hospital until his
trial in October.
Womack. 38, of the 1900 block
of Eighteenth street NE,
pleaded guilty to the conspiracy
charge last January IL before
District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff within an hour after
the United States Court of
Appeals had affirmed Wo-
mack's conviction in District
Court in March, 1860, on SINH
lar charges.
However, when Womack came
up for sentencing before Judge
Holtzoff on January 81, the
defendant requested permission
to change his plea to not guilty.
Mr.. MCGEE at that time said
he felt his client should be
given a psychiatric examina-
ton.
Request Refused
Judge Holtzoff refused this
request. Last February the
appellate court reversed this
ruling, and on March 16 Judge
Holtzoff allowed withdrawal of
the guilty plea and ordered a
mental examination for Wo-
mack.
1t was revealed in the hear
ing before Judge Pine that the
doctors who examined Womack
at st. Elizabeths Hospital had
decided he was mentally i'll at
the time of the alleged crimes
last fall and that the crimes
were a product of mental ill
ness.
DR.. David j. Owens, a staff
pSychiatriSt at the hospital
said Womack has been suffer-
ing from a severe psycho-neu-
rosis. but the doctor said he
does not believe transfer of
Womack to the Jail for a few
weeks or a few months before
trial will be harmful.
Opposes Transfer
DR.. Michael Miller, a private
pSychiatrist, testifying on be-
half of Womack, said he be-
lieves that, although Womack
has been declared mentally
competent to stand trial, the
defendant should remain in the
hospital for treatment. He said
that the transfer would be
harmful.
Judge Pine noted that if he
allows Womack to remain in
the hospital pending trial'of his
case, he would have to follow
a similar course in all other
cases.
The judge told Mr.. MCGEE
that at the present time there
are only six or seven beds avail
able in st. Elizabeths Hospitals
maximum security division for
those being given a mental ex-
animation before trial in crimi-
nal cases. He said three per-
sons are being held at District
Jail awaiting transfer to Dis
trict General Hospital for the
same reason.
