FCC Plans Sweeping
New Investigation
Of TV Practices
Washington-flJPD - The Fed
eral Communications commis
sion set in motion today a
sweeping new investigation
which could bring a crack
down on rigged TV quiz
shows, offensive commercials
and other broadcast practices
"contrary to the public in
terest." - ... - - - -
The commission will sur
vey just what powers it has
to police radio and TV pro

the inquiry might lead to

. For most of Wall Street it
was a holiday, with banks
closed for Veterans Day and
no dealings done in foreign
exchanges. Some of the com
modity markets and many
financial district offices also
were closed.
Brokers said disappoint
ment over the market's fail
ure to make any headway on
Monday resulted in further
liquidation Tuesday. How
ever, they point out, the list
suffered more from a lack of
support than any substantial
selling pressure.,

This trend w a s evident

Tuesday the electronics got a

To Look at Licenses
The FCC also will take a
hard new look at its policies
on granting radio and tele
vision station licenses to make
sure they are "adequate in
view of the changed and
changing - conditions in the
broadcast industry."
The commission said this
phase of the investigation
would involve development of
"more detailed and precise
standards for the guidance of
broadcasters in the evercise
of their responsibility."
The agency will hire addi
tional staff members and
otherwise expediate the in
quiry, which stemmed from
the recent congressional in
vestigation of rigged quiz pro
grams. This is the fourth investiga
tion of radio-TV practices. In
addition to the congressional
hearings, which next will con
sider alleged bribes to disc
jockeys, the Federal Trade
commission has started a
crackdown on false and mis
leading commercials and the
Justice Department is looking
into the legal . questions in
volved in rigged quiz pro
grams and other fraudulent
practices.
Prisoner Watches
Inmate Hang Self
San Fernando, Calif. - (UPD -
Police reported today a city
jail prisoner sat idly by and
watched his jailmate hang
himself.
"If that's what he wants to
do it's up to. him," police
quoted Gregory J& Rivera, 28.
Rivera watched Tuesday
while William L. Ortiz, 52,
cut up his mattress into strips,
tied them to the cell door and
hanged himself, police said.'
Both men were serving 10
day jail sentences imposed for
plain drunk arrests.
Police, who said the pwo
men apparently did not know
each other before being jailed
together, planned to discuss
the case with the city attorney
to see if Rivera could be
prosecuted for not trying to
prevent the suicide.
