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.
