Ullman's Constituency Poll Shows Opposition To Supports Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribun Washington - Correspondent "Washington (SpeciaI)-Poli-ticians who believe the way to pop. larity with the voters 7 is 10 vote ior all spending benefits and to oppose all tax increases might take a look at results of a poll tak en recently by Rep. Al Ull man (D-Ore.) a. eom. smim of his eastern Oregon constituency. The opinion survey showed, for example, that this pre dominantly wheat growing mm, ii IfijaiinnJ area is heavily opposea 10 continuing "price supports for wheat and other basics." The vote on this was 1700 to 528 against government supports. On the other hand, they voted strongly in favor of Congressman Ullman's "self help national marketing agreements pre. ram" - pro posed legislation that would end federal price supports for farm commodities and control marketing of farm products through farmer-run organiza tions. Tie vote was 1277 to 172 in favor of this idea.- They also opposed continu ation of the soil bank, a past practice of the government for paying farmers to take land out of production of sur- -'Sri I f I GIVEN ANSWERS Herbert Stempel, Forest Hills, N.Yi right, and James Snodgrass, New York, told the House Com merce subcommittee -Tuesday that, they were supplied with answers by show personnel when they appeared on the now defunct TV quiz show "21". , (UPI Telephoto) Publicity Agent Said Adivsed To Lie in TV Quiz Washington -(DPI)- The pub licity agent for the now-defunct television quiz show "21" testified today that he was advised by a lawyer to lie to New York authorities investigating charges that the show was rigged. He added that the attorney later advised him to "get out of town" so that he could not be questioned. Alfred David, Forest Hills, N.Y. told a House subcommit tee the advice was given him by Edwin Slote, New York attorney, last year at the time that a New York County Grand , Jury was conducting an investigation into charges that "21" and other TV quiz shows were rigged. He identified Slote as an at torney representing the pub licity firm for which he worked. Got Answers in Advance In New York, Slote was not immediately available for comment. Davis also told the commit tee that he knew that at least Hustler Proves Ability To Sneak Under Defenses Fort Worth, Tex. -(UPD- The Air Force's high-flying Hust- ler, the Convair B58, has made a 700-m i 1 e-per-h our hedge hopping trip to Califor nia to prove it can fly low and sneak under radar de fenses to hit the enemy. The Hustler flew the 1,400 miles from Fort Worth to Ed wards Air Force1 Base in the Jlojave Desert at' 500 feet above the ground. It made a simulated low level attack on the base last week and then flew back to '. Fort Worth all in four hours and three minutes without stopping or refueling. Penetration Capabilities - "The low-level bombing run proved that the Hustler has enemy penetration capabili ties greater than any other . aircraft in existence," said Frank W. Davis, Convair vice president and manager of the Fort Worth plant where the bomber is built. - The - company" claims that the big four-jet bomber, can fly higher than any other air plane in the world and can exceed Mach 2 t w i c e the speed of sound. o'Test pilot B. A. Erickson of Convair flew the mission for the Air Force. Cameramen and other observers spotted along the course said they hardly saw the low flying bomber and did not hear it until it was . well past them. Faster Than Bullet "No wonder nobody recog nized, us," Erickson said, not ing that the delta-win? jet was moving faster than a .45 caliber pistol bullet. : "You can't see a bullet," he said: He-, said - the mission took the Hustler over north 'Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California. The air plane hugged the up and down elevations of the moun tain areas, which rose to 9,000 feet at some points. one contestant had been sup plied answers in advance be fore appearing on the show "21". He said the contestant, Herbert Stempel, had shown him the answers in advance of his appearance on one show.' Stempel and another for mer "21" contestant, James E. Snddgrass testified at the opening hearing Tuesday that they were given answers in advance and even coached on what gestures to use. Two additional witnesses testified today that they ex perienced rigging practices on "21". Both said .they were re hearsed in advance of their one-shot appearances on the show and supposedly "sample" questions later bobbed up for cash when the program went on the. air. Mrs. Rose Leibbrand, Wash ington, who won $130 Nov. 14, 1956, also testified that she was told by program aide Albert Freedman not to bid for more than an eight. point question "or else . - .". Won an Easy $24,500 Richard Jackman, New York City, an organizer for the Garment Workers Union, said all the questions asked him on the show were covered in advance "practice" ses sions. Jackman won $24,500 in a single appearance Oct. 3, 1956. :; ' Davis said he interpreted Slote's advice to mean that he should lie under oath to the Grand Jury, as well as to the New York district attor ney. But he said he did not recall whether Slote specifi cally mentioned the Grand Jury. Slote was identified as the attorney for Davis and his partner in public relations, Art Franklin, who were em ployed at the time by Jack Barry and Dan Enright, co producers of "21" and other TV programs. Davis said that Slote also at that time was serving as at torney for Barry and Enright. His testimony brought a de mand by Rep. Steven D.erou nian (R-N.Y.) that, the New York Bar Association take ac tion against Slote. "After hearing Jackson, the investigators planned .to switch their "sights to "Dotto," the first of several quiz shows taken off the air-waves in the wake of charges they were fixed. .. : plus crops. The vote was 1640 to 500 against. Pension Opposed By a slightly closer margin, Ullman's constituents opposed giving all veterans of Word War I a pension, as Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) propos ed during the recent session. Morse's pension amendment was defeated 79 to 14. Ull man's poll showed 1296 against it, 957 for it. : On the tax issue raised by Ullman, the voters showed they wei - willing to1 shoulder an increase in the federal gasoline tax to meet increased costs of the federal highway building program. The vote was 1256 for raising the gas tax, 1031 against. Ullman, however, voted against boost ing the gas tax when the issue came up in Congress in Sep tember. So did Rep. Edith Green and Sen. Wayne Morse. Voting for it were Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger, and Reps. Walter Norblad CR) and Charles O. Porter (D). In the education field, vot ers opposed federal aid for school constru tion and teach ers pay (1269 to 1007) but favored Ullman's bill for fed eral aid for public community colleges (1332 to 538). Voters also thought tax deductions should be allowed for the ex penses of sending their chil dren to college. -Would Delay Dams In a close-to-home regional question, Ullman found sup port for his resolution calling for a delay of five years in construction of any more Mid dle Snake river dams while a crash program of fishery re search is undertaken. When he asked whether they would "delay Middle Snake dams pending solution of the fish problem," 1212 said yes and 896 said no. On i'oreign questions, the poll showed that voters were strongly opposed to a summit conference with Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev in the United States. But this poll was submitted to the vot ers before Khrushchev's re cent tour of the U.S. An end to all nuclear bomb testing with U.N. inspection was favored 1315 to 793. An effective international police force for the U.N. was favored 1885 to 287. Trade with Com munist China a as opposed 1528 to 652. . As might have been antici pated voters are troubled by nepotism - an issue which was employed against numerous congressmen in the past year. Ullman asked: "Would you prohibit . the hiring of rela tives by elected officials?" The result was 1632 said they would, and 683 said they wouldn't. Four-Year Term Favored By nearly 2 to 1 vote, they favored giving congressmen a four - year term instead of their present two-year hitch. But by fbout the same mar gin, they opposed the idea of allowing the president to serve more thf.n two terms in the White House. A constitu tional amendment, adopted after the death of President Franklin Roosevelt, disallows more than two terms, but there has been talk of repeal ing this ban. . Other iss- s voters favored were: establishment of a Youth Conservation Corps, giving more farm surplus corn-, modifies to needy foreign countries, health insurance for social security retirees, low rent public lousing for eldar person:, a labor reform bill, a,hd allowing social security retirees to earn more than $1200 annually. They osed increasing the minimum wage above $1 and opposed a law to control prices of fair trade items. V DENNIS A MENACE London -(UPD-.

The first lace-making ma chine was invented by John Heathcoat in Eigland in 1858. M issile Successes Give Space Experts Change in Thinking to the 800,000-pound thrust engines behind the Luniks. Maximum Atlas thrust power is about 350,000 pounds. Atlas reaches a thrust cut off velocity near escape velo city. With adequate staging, it j can lift a sizeable payload to the vicinity of the moon. The missile's guidance system proved itself again Tuesday when the Defense department said the new Mark II nose Cape Canaveral, Fla.
