who believe the way

to oppose all
tax increases
might take a
look at results
of a poll tak
en recently by
Rep. Al Ull

a. eom. smim of his eastern
Oregon constituency.
The opinion survey showed,
for example, that this pre
dominantly wheat growing

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

GIVEN ANSWERS Herbert

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

Khrushchev Sees Summit Meeting In Few Months
Moscow-(UPD-Sqviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev said in a
speech released today than
an East-West summit meeting
"may apparently" take place
this autumn or winter. ,
Khrushchev made his re
marks Tuesday in Vladivostok
where he stopped on his way
back from Peiping meeting
with Communist Chinese lead
ers. : -
According . to the official
Soviet news agency Tass,
Khrushchev said "the summit
meeting which may apparent
ly be called this autumn or
winter, will continue the ex
change of views on problems
agitating the peoples." 1
"Everything must be done
to 'establish a lasting peace,"
the Soviet Premier said.,
Khrushchev said President
Eisenhower told him during
his recent visit to the United
States that. he the President
spoke frankly as a .' military
man and said he was "very
much afraid of war."

chine was invented by John
