Washin gton-(UPD-A big mon
ey winner from the now de
funct TV quiz show "21" testi
fied today he was given the
anSSvers to all questions prior
to his appearance in a na
tionally televised contest with
Charles Van Doren.
Herbert Stempel, 32, grad
uate student at New York Uni.
versfty, said producers of the
show supplied him in advance
with all the questions and
answers and coached him on
the acting gestures he used
on the show.
Stempel was the first wit
ness as a House commerce
subcommittee opened a four
da investigation of charges
that some big name television
quiz shows have been rigged.
Before questioning Stem
pel, the subcommittee turned
out the lights in the House
caucus room and watched a
filmed reproduction of the 30
minute show "21" that was
seen by millions of Americans
Nov. 28, 1956.
Program Ended ia Tie
In the show, Stempel, then
champion of the game "21,"
with $69,500 in winnings to
his credit, was pitted against
a new challenger, Van Doren,
a Columbia English professor.
The climax of the program
came when Stempel faced the
threat of losing $31,500 of his
winnings to Van Doren if he
failed to answer correctly four
questions about opera arias.
He answered them correct
ly and the program ended
with the two contestants
tied at 21 points each. This
required a playoff the follow
ing week.
Under questioning from
subcommittee counsel Robert
Lishman, Stempel testified
that his performance was re
hearsed from start to finish.
He said he was told that he
would tie at 21 points with
Van Doren, after first , tying
at 17 points midway in the
program. ,

Harris (D-Ark.) told newsmen
before the inquiry got under

not be called for questioning.
He indicated that there was

that he has no knowledge of
any rigging.

EMfiBey Urged To Cflear
Attitude on Seashore Park
Reedsport -(UPD- On the
basis that Gov. Mark Hatfield
hasn't "closed the door" on
establishment of the Oregon
Dunes as a National Seashore,
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D
Ore.) Monday urged Hatfield
to clear up bis "attitude and
position" on the controver
sial issue.
Porter, here during the cur
rent Senate subcommittee
hearing on Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger's plan to create a
federal park in the Dunes
area, said if Hatfield takes no
action Porter might ask for
a cancellation' of a similar
hearing Oct. 31.
Owes It To Paople
Said Porter: "The gover
nor owes it to the people of
Oregon to clarify his position
with respect to the Oregon
Dunes seashore park, and this
should be done without de
lay." :
Porter, author of a bill sim
ilar to Neuberger's, said Hat
field, ought to personally ap
pear at Wednesday's hearing
in Eugene, also conducted by
Neuberger, to "clear up" his
stand.
Legislation Disfavored
The Natural Resources
Committee of the governor
has already strongly disfa
vored the park legislation and
other state groups have voiced
disapproval. But Porter said
Hatfield recently told him
that he "hadn't closed the
door" as far as the park plan
was concerned.
Neuberger also has stated

Service Opposition Seen . '
Several witnesses for and
against creation of the park
appeared during the session
and it developed that the U-.
S. Forest Service has ex
pressed opposition to the park
"on the secretarial level."
The J- S. Park Service, a
division of the Interior De
partment, which would ad
minister a seashore park, has
not yet indorsed the proposal.
Edward Crafts, Washington,
D. C, assistant chief of the
U. S. Forest Service, admitted
to Neuberger under question
ing that top-level officials in
the Department of Agricul
ture,, which has jurisdiction
over the Fores1 Service, have
expressed opposition to the
park. .
The boundaries of the park
as outlined in pending legisla
tion would take in about
12,000 acres of present Forest
Service land, which apparent
ly is the basis for Forest Serv
ice opposition. : -J '.
Neuberger pointed out,
however, that Congress has
transferred several hundred
thousand acres of Forest Serv
ice land to the Park Service

parks as Glacier, Olympic,

Sen. Morse Says
Businessmen Pay
For Labor Bill
Bend - (UPD - Sen.' Wayne
Morse. (D-Ore.) said Monday
that Oregon businessmen
will be paying in lost business
for years under discrimina
tory features of the Kennedy-Landrum-Griffin
L,abor Bill."
Sen. Morse told the Na
tional Affairs and Legislative
Committee of the Bend Cham
ber of Commerce that an ex
ample .was "the . 'No - Man's
Land' amendment adopted by
the Senate-House Conference
committee over my objec
tions, which places Southern
low labor standard states in a
superior competitive, position
over higher, labor . standard
states such as Oregon."
Morse said . he offered an
amendment in conference to
handle the problem of labor
relations in small plants de
nied jurisdiction by the Na
tional Labor Relations Board.
He said the amendment pro
vided that state courts could
assume jurisdiction in these
cases "but would be bound by
federal law and appeal would
be to federal courts."
He said the Kennedy-Lan-
drum-Griffin bill, "approved
by the conference committee,
denied equal rights under me
constitution to all segments
of labor and management
across the country, by assign
ing to the state courts juris
diction in these cases. -
"This resulted in one seg
ment of American business,
labor - management relations,
being set back many years,
because state courts in many
states had no labor-management
lav on the books and
would be bound5 by common
law;"- He added: .'.'If this were
the : only discriminatory fea
ture in the entire bill, I could
not justify a. vote for the
legislation to the business men
in Oregon." .. .
