Monday, Jan. 4, 1960 Toxicological Report Waited in Actress' Death Greenwich, Conn. (UPD- A toxicological report was await ed today to show what caused the death of actress Margaret Sullavan. Miss Sullavan, 48, died Fri day at New Haven under mys terious circumstances. A coro ner said an autopsy was in conclusive, but that it appear ed she died of an overdose of sleeping pills. Memorial services were to be conducted today at Christ Church here for the husky voiced actress who spent near ly 30 years on the stage and in motion pictures. Burial wag to be private. Miss Sullavan was dead on arrival Friday at Grace-New Haven Hospital. She was tak en there after her husband, Kenneth A. Wagg, a British businessman, found her uncon scious in her hotel room. The door had been chain-locked. New Haven County Coroner James J. Corrigan said an empty bottle of sleeping pills and two partially-filled bottles of the barbiturates were found in the room. He awaited the toxicological report, however, before passing final judgment on the exact cause of death. Play Decried Miss Sullavan died before her fifth performance in the pre-Broadway run of "Sweet Love, Remember'd," at New Haven's Shubert Theatre. Opening night critics de cried the play but described Miss Sullavan's performance as "eloquent." Friends said she had been nervous of late and discouraged with show business. Report on Steps to Curb Payola Due Government 'Washington (UPD - Today is the deadline for the nation's radio and television stations to report to the government on what controls they have set up to police payola to their employees. The federal communications commission directed the 5,236 radio and TV broadcasters to report on "internal controls and procedures' being used to keep tabs on payoffs to staff ers outside their regular sal ary. By Feb. 5, the radio and TV stations also must disclose any payola or "push money" either they or their personnel have taken since Nov. 1, 1958, for hidden commercial plugs. The FCC's demand for dis closure of undercover pay ments to disc jockeys to push certain records (payola) and to broadcasters to deceptively cloak plugs for products on the air is unprecedented. Stems From Inquiry It stems from the congres sional inquiry into the TV quiz show scandals and a com ing payola investigation. At torney General William P. Rogers last week recommend ed that payola be made a fed eral crime. Rogers, in a report to Presi dent Eisenhower, said that what has been exposed so far makes it likely that the known instances of payola are more than isolated cases." Payola or any other type of paid announcement not iden tified as a commercial is il legal under the Communica tions Act of 1934. Anyone found guilty of breaking thia law could face a maximum penalty of $10,000 or one year in prison or both. FCC members have said that violation also could lead to loss of broadcast license by stations which sanction pay ola or sneak commercial prac tices. Trainmen Hold 'Closed' Conclave Cleveland, Ohio (UPD - The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen opened a "closed" convention today to b r i n ft their constitution into line with the new federal labor reform act and to elect officers. The trainmen, largest of all the brotherhoods, were ex pected to have 1,200 officers and delegates on hand. But newsmen were barred from the sessions. W. P. Kennedy, 67, was ex pected to run for reelection as. president of the 200,000-mem-ber union. The BRT held its last con vention in 1954 and the new Landrum-Griffin Labor Law provides that national and in ternational unions must elect officers at least every five years. The BRT had postpon ed its 1958 convention until 1962 as an economy measure but decided to hold a conven tion this year in line with labor legislation.
