CIA chief calls critics ‘hysterical’
WASHINGTON — CIA Director William Colby testified
Thursday the “almost hysterical excitement” about alleged
domestic spying by his agency has made American under
cover agents abroad fear for their lives. Colby told an open
congressional hearing that “these last two manths have
placed American intelligence in danger.” News reports and
official investigations have made overseas agents fear for
their lives, sent CIA morale into a nosedive, and frightened
firms away from accepting CIA contracts, Colby said.
Officials survey bird massacre
FT. CAMPBELL, Ky. — U.S. Wildlife Resources officials
dad in yellow rubber suits waded through piles of dead and
dying blackbirds, starlings and grackles Thursday, surveying
the extent of Wednesday night’s mass killing. The birds,
branded a health hazard by local health officials, were sprayed
with the chemical detergent tergitol by helicopters Wednesday
night, then doused with water from firetruck snorkels in sub
freezing temperatures.The chemical removed the oil from the
birds’ feathers and the water washed it away, allowing them to
die of exposure in temperatures in the low 20s.

FCC wants video obscenity outlawed
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
government moved Thursday to
bar obscene and indecent mater
ial from television, and announced
a network promise to limit violent
and sex-oriented scenes during
prime time hours when children
may be watching.
The Federal Communications
Commission said it would ask
Congress for legislation making it
a crime to show “indecent mater
ial” on television.
At the same time, it said the
three major television networks
have agreed to limit prime time
exposure of sexually-oriented
material in the 1975 television
season.
Current laws make it illegal for
radio stations to broadcast inde
cent material, but the FCC said in
a report to Congress that such
laws are vague about television.
“For this reason, we will include
in our legislative proposals for ac
tion by this Congress an
amendment...which would elimi
nate this uncertainty," the report
said.
The report made clear the
commission feels programs in
volving violence and sexual mat
erial — which might not be obs
cene or indecent but might be in
i
appropriate for children — should
be regulated by the television in
dustry itself and not by law.
The FCC said ABC, CBS and
NBC have tentatively set these
guidelines for the 1975 season:
—Prime time viewing hours be
tween 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. EST
would be set aside mainly for
“family viewing" six days a week.
On Sunday, the hours would be
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
—“Viewer advisories" would be
broadcast visually and audibly
from time to time in advance of
any shows during prime time
which might be considered ques
tionable for children.
—Networks will attempt to let
publishers of television program
ming know in advance of ques
tionable material to be broadcast
during “family viewing” periods.
The FCC said it received in
creasing complaints of violence
on television during the past three
years.
In 1972, the commission re
ceived over 2,000 complaints
about violent or sexually-oriented
programs,” the report said. “In
1974, the volume increased to
nearly 25,000.”
Critics of the current “indecent
material” law say it is too vague
and does not clearly set out

off the air.
Catnapper
called ‘rat’
DENVER (UPI) — Leona Wood
says her neighbor is a rat. He
catches her cats in a backyard
trap baited with dogfood and sar
dines and hauls them off to the
pound.
“The dirty rat, I hate his guts,’’
said Miss Wood, who is afraid to
let her ten cats out of the house in
fear Richard A Templeton will trap
them.
“They ought to lock him up and
throw away the key.”
Templeton, a retired Army
sergeant, says he’ll trap
anybody’s cat.
“It's this simple," he said. “They
know there’s a damn cat trap out
there. If their cat gets caught in it,
he goes to the pound. That’s the
way it is.”
Templeton uses a wire cage to
trap cats who enter to eat the dog
food and sardines left as bait. The
animals step on a small metal
plate causing the front door of the
cage to latch.
“Cats were everywhere,” he
said. "They were screaming at
night, digging holes all over the
yard. You go out to work in your
yard. You reach down into the
ground and what do you get? You
get ‘cat stuff.’ ”
