"He is not going to United Press Correspondent J made when, as expected, Mack Washington-M-The lights befre HUSe tavesti- burned late Thursday night in Throughout the day. Mack Richard A. Mack's office at j declined to take the flood of the Federal Communications Commission. He was drafting a reply (he hoped would clear his name of headline-making charges.) The calls mostly from reporters who wanted to hear his side of the story. "He feels he's already talked too much," one of his assist- say any more now. Mack remained at the FCC when on Capitol Hill Dr. Ber nard Schwartz was accusing him of having accepted thou sands of dollars from an at torney for a firm later award ed Miami's TV Channel 10. He also was conspicuously absent from the FCC rostrum where the other six commis sioners were hearing argu ments in a seven-way contest for Toledo, Ohio, Channel 11. Reports in the late after noon that the FBI was coming into the case reverberated throughout the commission like wildfire. Telephones jangled. Mack learned about it minutes after the official announcement. Aids close to Mack say that he is taking it all calmly. His assistants appeared nervous and strained. Feel Personally Affected Morale at the commission has been low ever since the House subcommittee began digging into FCC affairs. The hearings have been' followed closely and some FCC employ ees feel personally affected. Meanwhile the work wheels at the FCC have ground al most to a standstill. The com mssioners have had to put off their regular get-togethers to make appearances on the Hill. The elevator operator clos est to Mack's office expressed it best, perhaps. She said with n emotion-filled face, "It's one thing to read these things in the newspapers about peo ple you don't know but when you know them, it's different." Poison Oak?

Mel vin L,aird (K-Wis.) called on Sen. John J. Sparkman CD- Ala.) Thursday night to ex plain what Laird called the senator's "mysterious connec tions with broadcasting." Sparkman promptly denied that he ever used his official position to advance his per sonal interests. He said Laird seemed to be "trying to put across" some "pretty far fetched" suggestions.' Laird said Sparkman re ferred in a Senate statement Tuesday to alleged "mis deeds" in the Federal Com munications Commission (FCC). "While on this topic," Laird said, "he (Sparkman) has a timely chance to set tle questions about his own mysterious connections with broadcasting which have stood unanswered for five long years." He said the senator made a "partial accounting of his finances in the 1952 political campaign, when Sparkman was the Democratic vice presidential nominee, but fail ed to list his wife's 49 per cent share of radio station WAVU at Albertville, Ala. Asked about the statement, Sparkman said he had never tried to influence the FCC on the application for the Albertville station or "anyl other matter whatsover." Even Disposition Said Space Need San Antonio, Tex. W Air Force scientists have de cided a man of calm, even temperament will make a better spaceman than the "tiger" type who excels in flying jet fighter planes. Lt. Col. George H. Stein-1 kamp, director of the Depart- j ment of Space Medicine at ' the Air Force's School of Aviation Medicine said Thurs day he "prefers an individual of stable and predictable tem perament' 'for space flights. Steinkamp made his com ments after observing Airman Donald Farrell, 23, for five days on his simulated "flight to the moon." The Bronx, N.Y., airman is now on his "return filght" to earth after a simulated jour ney around the moon in an airtight, three-by-five foot space cabin. His week-long trip will be j over Sunday.. "He's in perfect shape," Steinkamp said of Farrell's condition. I Steinkamp told newsmen at a briefing Thursday he has a "stack of plans 15 feet high" for new and better space cabins. As far as the next step is concerned, he said, There are many ground tests yet to come and more re search into this area."
