o 12 The Bulletin, Tkwrtftte?, Baxter 21, 1963 PENNIS, THE MBNACB Meany charges AM A with frautf i(t t&tt&tftxi of Yoretf record NEW YORK (UPI)-iCharges and countercharges of fraud and falsehood were exchanged Wednesday by the head of the AFL-CIO and the president of the American Medical Associa tion (AMA). President George Meanv of the labor group angrily charged the AMA with 'an absolute fraud," with the alleged circu lation of a "forged" anti-union phonograph record. AMA President Dr. Edward R. Annis, issued a counterblast from Washington saying "the reckless charge of fraud leveled at the AMA ... is completely false." The exchange grew out of a $400,000 damage suit filed Wednesday by a Pennsylvania Steelworkers union official (against the AMA Mr distribut ing the fraudulent record. Filed By Normile The suit was filed in district court in Washington by Paul Normile, director of the United Steelworkers of America's Dis trict 16 in Pittsburgh. Normile said the record car ried a voice falsely identified as his, which caused him "ex treme humiliation, embarass ment and mental anguish and injuring his reputation." In rebuttal, Dr. Annis termed the lawsuit "ridiculous." He said the lawsuit was "a trans parent publicity stunt and a smoke screen to divert atten tion from the hearings being conducted by the House Ways & Means Committee on the ad ministration's health care bill." Anok said th AMA would re serve its reply for court but added: "However, the filing of the suit will serve a good pur pose if it alerts the American people to the political tactics of certain labor leader3 and coer cion used by them to raise po litical funds from union mem bers." Record Voice Threats Normile later appeared at a news conference where the rec ord was played. The voice on the record did not sound much like Normile's as he spoke to newsmen. In tough language it threatened union members with the "graveyard shift" if they did not contribute to the AFL CIO's Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the pur pose of pushing the medicare biH through Cwgrtes. "It obviously is not ma speak ing," Normile said, "but we have not been able to find out who made the record, where it was produced or by whom." Steelworker's President David J. McDonald, who appeared at the news conference with Nor mile, said his union would ren der all possible assistance to Normile and said he was shocked that the AMA "would countenance the political mal practice so evident in this com pletely spurious recording." Normile said the record was being distributed by the Ameri can Medical Political Action Committee (AMPAC) for use at doctor's meetings to get them to contribute to AMPAC. Some American froops to be returned from S. Viet Nam HONOLULU (UPI)-Approxi-mately 1,300 American troops now serving in South Viet Nam will be returned home within the next two months, according to top-level foreign policy plan ners for the United States. The announcement was made Wednesday at the close of a se cret one-day meeting of high ranking U.S. military and civil ian leaders at the Pearl Har bor headquarters of Adm. Har ry D. Felt, U.S. commander in chief, Pacific. The planners, led by Secre tary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert Mc- Namara, issued a brief formal statement at the close of the meeting which apparently was devoted entirely to the fu ture position of the United States in South Viet Nam. The statement, given to news men by McNamara's public af fairs officer, Arthur Sylvester, said that a contingent of 300 U.S. troops would leave South Viet Nam Dec. 3, and an addi tional 1,000 would leave near the end of the year. Officials said there are at present 16,500 U.S. troops as sisting and training the Vietna mese. The statement said reports received by the planners "indi cated establishment of excellent working relations between U.S. officials and members of the new Vietnamese government."

Tuesday night there was "Greece: The Golden Age." Wednesday night came "That War in Korea," 90 minutes of high drama and su 'perlative craftmanship, and "The Festival Frenzy," an hour of high comedy and adult pleasure. NBC-TV's "That War in Ko rea" was, of course, the larger endeavor, and was a consum mately clear delineation of I events In that frustrating "po- Pitman ruling by judge upheld by state court SALEM (UPI) -The Oregon Supreme Court Monday upheld ruling by Marion County Cir- 1 cult Judge George Duncan that Philip H.

"We are not at war, the President said," narrator Rich ard Boone recited in starling the recollection of the conflict, "Stand or die" was the order at Pusan. "Who won?" a sol dier asked when the fighting was over. Boone spoke all the words of the script, and if an Emmy could be awarded for narration that contributes im- mensley to the accomplishment of a program, he is entitled to it. With sensitivity, irony, com passion and simple eloquence, he was magnificent in convey ing all the innuendoes of the "Project 20" program. The meshing of the tasks of all those who created was en viable. The Richard Hanser script was a model of literacy, research and impact that should be studied by all documentary writers. The music by Robert Kussell Bennett was striking, ranging from the devilish glor ies ot war to the lightness of nervous relaxation by troops to the miseries Inflicted on fight ing men and civilians alike. And producer-director Donald Hyatt, in his selectivity and as similation, gave the audience, in the end, a presentation that swept from moments of gran deur to personal pathos, forget ting no levels of experience. The program did not probe deeply into many of the contro versial political aspects of the war. It stuck mainly to action, and many scenes come flashing memorably to mind: The night time naval bombardment, the high-tide landing of Marines, the crap game, the writing of letters in the snow, the United Nations troops dancing at news of the cease-fire, the turncoats, the films of brainwashing. There was President Tru man's relieving Gen. Douglas MacArthur of duty, and MacAr thur's farewell speech to Con gress, and the rise of Sen. Jo seph McCarthy. There was the heroic sergeant testifying how he escaped after being wounded and buried alive by the Com munists. "The Festival Frenzy," mean while, was an ABC-TV look at a number of European festivals and was a droll accomplish ment of an earthy and sophis ticated order, certain to help popularize and glamorize docu mentaries. Among the high lights was a first-rate tongue-in-cheek cvamination of the crassness of the Venice Film Festival as exemplified by the publicity-seekers and pubiicity makers. The witty script by Gene Searchinger, who also was the producer and director, was giv en a narration of perfect dry ness by executive producer John Secondari. and the benefit of an expert comic camera.
