DA Of Quiz Urges Publication Show Report rOberver, La Crnde, Or:, Too., July 14, 1959 fgt I NF.W YORK lUI'H-Dist. Atty. Frank S. llogan urged a court Monday to make public a grand jury presentment exposing "a na tional fraud" in the operation of television quiz shows. "The public has a right to know the extent to which it has been dued and cheated . . . there can WANTS MILK STOCKPILE WASHINGTON ITJ - Itcp. Samuel S. Stralton D N.Y.I has urged the government to consider the feasibility of stock piling milk to help feed the country in case of nuclear attack. Stratton made his suggestion Sun day to Agriculture Secretary Ez ra Taft Benson and Leo A. Iloegh, director of Civil Defense mobilization.' be little doubt that the national resenment would lead to legisla tion and regulation designed to prevent a recurrence or continua tion of such fraud," llogan said. He said the document also would be valuable to "television itself by presenting "facts en abling it to clean its own house." Hogan's argument was made in a 20-pagc brief presented to Gen eral Sessions Judge Mitchell D. Schweitzer, who impounded the presentment last month after the attorneys for producers of several quiz shows no longer on the air objected to it. Schweitzer had asked (he dis trict attorney to present argu ments, and said he would make a ruling in August. Hogan said it could be as sumed the presentment exposes "a national fraud whereby televi sion quiz shows have been con stantly misrepresented to millions of citizens as honest tests of the contestants' knowledge and skill." He said the "gigantic fraud and hoax" involved "a regular prac tice of informing 'contestants' whose lengthy presence on the show is deemed profitable, of the questions to be asked and, fre quently, of providing the correct answers as well.'' "Misrepresentation of the enter tainment offered is morally if not legally larceny by false pretenses and constitutes a fraud. Me said the grand jury deemed the operation of the programs "a large scale evil" and had asked that copies of its report be sent to "certain official agencies, the functions of which are relevant to the conditions discovered." ' The court's position in suppress ing the document has been sup ported by two bar associations, who agreed with the original ob jectors that a grand jury present ment. which offers no forum for rebuttal of its charges, can be returned only against public officials.
