Equal Time To
Present Reply
New York - IUPD - Richard
M. Nixon remained silent to
day amid the storm of protest
caused when Alger Hiss was
among those selected to com
ment on the former vice presi
dent's political career.
The American Broadcasting
Co. said Nixon could have
equal time, if he asks for it,
to reply to statements made
by Hiss and others on the pro
gram "The Political Obituary
of Richard Nixon," beamed to
a nation-wide television audi
ence Sunday night.
Messages of Protest
ABC and many of its affili
ates were deluged with mes
sages of protest both before
and after the telecast. Hiss,
convicted of perjury 12 years
ago after a relentless con
gressional Investigation head
ed by Nixon, said on the pro
gram he felt Nixon's part in
the probe was politically moti
vated. "We gave both sides a fair
presentation on this show," an
ABC spokesman said here.
Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's
former press secretary, re
plied from Los Angeles that
the program reached "a new
low in undistinguished report
ing." He said the show "set
out to kick Richard Nixon
and accomplished its goal by
subs tituting innuendo for
fact."
Investigation Urged
Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D
Conn.) urged the Federal
Communications C o mmission
to investigate the ' network
"because of my own feeling
of personal disgust, and be
cause of the countless objec
tions made to me by Connecti
cut citizens ..."
Hiss' conviction in 1950
came after he denied any con
nection with a 1938 Soviet spy
ring. Nixon, then a congress
man from California, spent
two years as chief investiga
tor of Hiss' activities.
Klein said Nixon would
not comment on the program,
although James C. Hagerty,
ABC vice president in charge
of news, said the recently de
feated California gubernato
rial candidate could have
equal time "any time, of
course."
Atrocious Gesture
Robert H. Finch, Nixon's
I960 presidential campaign
manager, said in Los Angeles
the equal time offer was an
"atrocious, pathetic gesture."
He said it "has the effect of
placing'Alger Hiss, a convicted
perjurer who appeared on
this show, on the same foot
ing as a former vice presi
dent of the United States."
Howard K, Smith, who
served as moderator for the
program, said he thought it
was "a little over-balanced in
favor of Nixon."
Television stations in Co
lumbus and Cincinnati, Ohio,
and New Haven, Conn., and
Philadelphia did not carry
the show.
State Republican
Chairman Attacks
Hiss Appearance
Salem -lOTH- Oregon Repub
lican Chairman Phillip J.
Roth, Portland, today called
last week's ABC-TV show "Po
litical Obituary of Rich a r d
Nixon" a "brutal hatchet job"
on the former vice president.
Roth objected strongly to
the appearance of Alger Hiss,
ex-State department official,
on the program, moderated by
Howard K. Smith.
"Using Alger Hiss to give
an opinion on Nixon's politi
cal tactics would be like using
Lucky Luciano after Tom
Dewey's defeat whether Dew
ey's prosecution of him and
other racketeers was political
ly motivated," Roth said.
Roth, an attorney, said that
"in using a convicted purjurer
like Alger Hiss, a man whose
influence and advice under
mined the position of the
Western world at the Yalta
and Potsdam conferences, is
to seek to do a brutal hatrhrt
Job on Nixon, instead of an
objective analysis of his en
tire political career."
The program was in connec
tion with Nixon's defeat tor
the governorship of Califor
nia. tva beVenuesTrTse
Knoxville, Trim. ilW- The
Tennessee Valley Authority
Monday reported a record
$60.7 million in electric power
revenues for the three-month
period ending Sept. 30. The
agency attributed the rise,
which was $2 million above
the same period last year, to
warmer weather which con
tributed to Increased energy
use and decreased hydro pow
er generating.

Alger Hiss's Remarks About Richard Nixon Via
Television Program Result in Storm of Protests
New York -IUPII- The Ameri
can Broadcasting Co. received
hundreds of protests Sunday
night for allowing Alger Hiss
to give his views on Richard
M. Nixon to a nationwide
television audience.
Hiss, former State Depart
ment official convicted of per
jury In 1950 after a relentless
congressional investig a t i o n
led by Nixon, appeared on a
half-hour filmed show called
the "Political Obituary of
Richard Nixon."
ABC was deluged with tele
phone calls and telegrams,
most of them against the net
work for interviewing Hiss on
his feelings toward the former
vice president.
Hiss said he believed his
prosecution by Nixon, then a
congressman from California,
was politically motivated.
"I think that he was po
litically carried along," Hiss
declared. "Whether the initial
motivation was political, I
certainly don't think that he
was unaware of the political
boost, the political soaring up
into outer space that the hear
ings and subsequent trial pro
vided for him."
Friends on Program
Also appearing on the pro
gram were Jerry Voorhis,
five - term congressman from
California defeated by Nixon
in 1946; Los Angeles attorney
Murray Chotiner, who man
aged Nixon's first campaign;
and Rep. Gerald Ford (R
Mich.), a longtime friend of
Nixon.
The ABC vice president in
charge of news, James C.
Hagerty, said most of the pro
tests came from California
and the New York City area.
He handled a number of calls
and said he told those object
ing: "Won't you please do me
the favor of reserving your
criticism until after you've
seen the program?"
Hagerty said the network
at no time considered can
celling the program.
"The American people owe
a great deal to Dick Nixon
for his dedication to finding
out all of the possible facts
that the committee could find
out about the Alger Hiss case
and its ramifications," Ford
said after Hiss spoke.
Walter H. Annenberg, presi
dent of Triangle Publications,
Inc., ordered his organiza
tion's two ABC affiliations in
New Haven, Conn., and Phila
delphia not to carry the pro
gram. He said he did not feel
a convicted man should "com
nent about a distinguished
American."

with the late Whittaker Cham
bers, who at one time was a
Soviet spy courrier. Hiss has
said since the charges were
first lodged that he is inno
cent. He said his "impression of
him (Nixon) as an investigator
was that he was less interest
ed in developing the facts ob
jectively than in seeking ways
of making a preconceived plan
appear plausible. Hiss said
he had neither feelings of
"hostility" nor "any feelings
of great personal warmth or
affection" toward Nixon to
day. !
