Fails to Puy Fine

NEW YORK, Jan. 80 (AP) -
Disc Jockey Alan Freed has
been ordered arrested for fail
ing to pay a $500 fine in con-
nection with his guilty plea to
a charge Of commercial bribery.
The charge grew out of the
1860 investigation Of payola in
broadcasting.
Freed, 40, was fined last
month and given a six-month
Jail sentence, which was sus-
pended.
He had been accused Of ac-
cepting more than $4,000 in
bribes from seven record COM
panies to play their tunes on
the air. He pleaded guilty to
counts charging him with ac-
cepting $4,000 from one record
company and $700 from an
other.
A Criminal Court judge is
sued a bench warrant yester-
day for Freed, whose residence
was given as Pilm Springs,
Calf. He worked at stations
here from 1854 to 1859 and at
a Los Angeles station in 1860.
