711 n n I MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Friday. Jm. 1, i960 Rogers Suggests Payola Be Made Federal Crime Augusta, Ga.-OIPD-Attomey General William P. Rogers recommended that payola be made a federal crime and that two federal agencies use their existing weapons to crack down on hoaxes like the rig ged TV quiz shows. He so advised President Eisenhower in a report made public by the vacation White House. The President had ask ed for the report on "decep tive practices" in the broad casting industry after the House committee disclosures last summer that TV contests had been fixed. Aimed at Two Agencies Rogers' recommendat ions were aimed mostly at two I 1. reculatorv a?fnrif th TTeH. eral Communications Com mission, which licenses broad casters, and the Federal Trade Commission, which polices false advertising and other un fair trade practices. Rogers said in effect that these two agencies were not using the power granted by existing law to combat decep tion. He made only two recom mendations for immediate legislation. One would make it a federal crime to engage in payola, which was defined vas "undercover payments to the employees of broadcasting stations." He said present law forbids payola to a station but not to its employees. Milder Penalties The other would give the FCC power to impose milder penalties than that in existing law to punish a broadcaster. Now the agency can only re voke or refuse renewal of a license a seldom used pun ishment because it is so' dras tic. Rogers proposed that the agency be allowed to suspend license or put l'a broadcaster on probation with a "condi tional renewal." n 7 Norblad Urges Rural Status for Post Off ice Washington (UPD Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) said Wednesday he has recom mended that the post office at Princeton, Ore., be made a rural station of the post office at Burns, Ore. He said only two families received mail through general delivery at the Princeton office and that no post office boxes were rented.
