Not To File Affidavit
Brown indicated Syming

with the secretary of state to
get his name off the ballot.
"I don't believe any of those
prominently mentioned for
the nomination has the moral
right to take his name off the
ballot" he said.
Brown commented on the
possible candidacy, of Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) in 1960
as an Oregon "favorite son."
Although Morse has declared
he doesn't want to be on the
ballot, a petitioner in Salem
has said he can and will get
the necessary 1,000 signatures
and that Morse will be put
up as a favorite son.
Of this, Brown "said he
thought Morse "deserves rec

Morse's candidacy.

shows.
"The statement was com
pletely true and correct," Ab
rams said.
Abrams, now an executive
of the Warner-Lambert Phar
maceutical Corp., was called
as today's lead-off witness by
Chairman Oren Harris CD
Ark.) who said his affidavit
and Revson's denial had pre
sented "a pretty serious situa
tion." '
. The witness, who said he
had volunteered to appear in
person, emphasized that par
ticipants in the weekly meet
ing -of sponsors and producers
of the two quiz shows "knew
that" the producers had the
ability to control the destiny
of the contestants."
Revson at Meeting
Asked to list those in at
tendance, he named Martin
Revson among others.
"This is my honest belief,
that everyone present knew,"
Abrams testified.
. Revson told the committee
Wednesday that "it never en
tered my mind that the pro
ducer could control it."
But : Abrams, under . ques
tioning by Harris, said Rev
son .definitely was among
those aware of the producers'
ability to "ask a tough or easy
q u e s t ijo n" depending on
whether they wanted an "ex
citing" contestant to stay on
the program or a "dull" one
to be eliminated.
. Producers Steve Carlin and
Mert Koplin have testified
the two big-money programs
were "controlled," that the
sponsor knew it , and made
"urgent" ; suggestions as to
who' should win or lose.
Finds It Difficult
Rep. John B. Bennett (R
Mich.) asked Abrams if there
was "any doubt in your
mind" that Martin Revson
knew the producers were con
trolling the future of con
testants. "I find it very difficult to
believe he wouldn't -know,
sitting in on these meetings,"
Abrams repeated.
He testified that Charles
Revson, president of Revlon,
"rarely attended" the weekly
meetings. And he said he
could not recall a single in
stance that Charles Revson
"expressed an opinion about
the destiny of a contestant."
This bore out part of the
testimony given by Charles
Revson Wednesday. -
Abrams said that the "con
trols" of which the sponsors
were aware dealt with the
relative difficulty of ques
tions. He said it was not until
March, 1958, that any hint
arose that contestants were
being told questions in ad
vance. When Revlon heard charges
to this effect in March and
September, 1958, it began in
vestigating. "I have been asked what
Revlon would have done if
it knew of fraudulent prac
tices," Abrams said. "It would
have cancelled the show im

Army dDififiiGer Denies TV Quiz Show
Assistance; Turns in designation
Lawton, Okla. -(DM A war
hero who hit big money on a
television quiz show fired a
salvo Wednesday at charges
that he was helped with an
swers, then resigned from the
Army.
Capt. -Michael O'Rourke,
an advanced artillery student
at Ft. Sill, near Lawton,
Okla., won $106,500 on the
quiz show: "Tic-Tac-Dough."
In testimony released Wedi
nesday by the House subcom
mittee investigating TV quiz
shows in Washington, a for
mer producer of "Tic-Tac-Dough"
said O'Rourke had
received help. But the pro
ducer, Howard Flesher, hesi
tated to accuse the officer be
cause of his Army decorations
and service record.
No License for Fraud
Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark.),
sub-committee chairman, re
plied that he respected a sol
dier who offered "his life on
behalf of his country, but
that ... does not give any
body a license . . . to return
and commit fraud on the
American people."
"He might be Gen.
O'Rourke some day with re
sponsibility for- very large
sums of money," Harris said.
"If he is corruptible, it is well
that we find it out."
Hearings concerning the
show already had ended, and
there was little possibility
that O'Rourke would be call
ed. O Rourke nevertheless is-
sued a statement Wednesday
saying he was resigning from
the Army because "if I were
to be called -before the con
gressional committee investi
gating -the television shows I
would prefer to appear as a
civilian or as an officer . of
the Army whose resignation
has been submitted."
Resignation Accepted
His resignation was accept
ed by the acting commander
at Ft. Sill, Brig. Gen. Vonna
F. Burger, who said the De
partment of Army also . ac
cepted it.
O'Rourke was unavailable
for comment after he resign
ed. '
He had said earlier there
might have been a "fix" in
the case of another man on
the show, "but not as far as
I'm concerned." He said Fel
sher's statement "surprised
me very much."

"We do not assume that
flags will be raised at West
Berlin railroad installations
which belong to the German
Democratic Republic," it said.
Troops Stand Ready
The Communist . statement
followed a warning Monday
by the American commandant
in Berlin, Maj. Gen. Barks
dale vHamlett,' that Western
Allied troops stood ready to
put down any trouble caused
by the flags.

the flags in West Berlin for
the first time Oct. 7 to cele

anniversary and rioting re
sulted when West Berliners
ripped them down.
20 Avoid Provocation
Neues Deutschland said the
Communists changed their
minds about the flags to avoid
"bloody -provocations."
It said West Berlin Mayor
Willy Brandt "will not get his
wish for , civil war" and
charged thajt such a war was
planned by the West in order
to block the path to the sum
mit meeting.
Hamlett, a 50-year-old West
Pointer, told the Soviets that
the United States, Britain, and
Franch would use their 11,
000 troops to back up West
Berlin's 19,000-man police
force if necessary. He said
the police would pull down
any flags that, were raised
and troops would stand by for
trouble.
