asking the U.S. Supreme Court to
halt their trial on charges of sedi

Sept. 22 in federal court here.
Mrs. Doris Brin Walker, Powell

clerk in Washington and to Justice

printing false reports that U.S.

"I'm a person." says Van Do

year in the course of winning $129,

'Rigging' Charges Denied
By Quiz Show 'Twenty-One'
NEW YORK (AP) The Nation
al Broadcasting Co. and produc
ers of the Twenty-one television
quiz show deny charges by a con
testant that the program was
rigged.
Herbert Stempol, who won $50,
nnn on the show, contended he was
coached on the answers before he
went on the air nnd then was told
to miss a question which enabled
Charles Van Doren to eliminate
him.
Dist. Ally. Frank S. Hogan con
firmed that Slempel's testimony
brought the show into the TV quiz
program probe, louched off by a
complaint of a contestant on the
Dotto show.
Jack Barry and Dan Enright,
producers, issued a statement say
ing Stempel s charges were "en
tirely spurious and malicious."
NBC issued a statement simul
taneously, terming the accusations
"utterly baseless and untrue.
The network said it learned of
them over a year ago and an in
vestigation turned up nothing to
substantiate them.
Later Pharmaceuticals. Inc..
makers of Geritol, sponsor of the
show, said it had not been aware
of any complaints made about the
program.
Edward Klettcr, a .vice presi
dent, said: "We have Implicit con
fidence in the integrity of Jack
Barry and Dan Enright. We have
been associated' with them for
eight years. Our present contract
has another year to go."
Ilogan, nominated for the U.S.
Senate this week at the Democrat
ic State Convention in Buffalo,
said his investigation of TV quiz
shows has uncovered nothing thus
far to warrant grand jury action.
"I am convinced that we have
a lot more digging berore we can
suggest anything serious here."
he said, adding: "I won't think in
dimensions not etched out in evidence."
Ilogan did not disclose what
Slempel told him. But the latter

Today show. In a couple of weeks
he 11 return to Columbia University
and resume teaching English lit
erature. In November he'll publish
an anthology of letters entitled
"Letters to Mother."
Exactly what he'll be doing on
NBC during the coming season is
uncertain at the moment, but Van
Doren hopes he'll be working in
the area of news features.
Some time ago Van Doren de
cided that the television field
where he could be most useful
was news. Characteristically in
clined to go to the heart of any
matter, he went to the office of
Robert Kintner, president of NBC.
"I told him what I wanted to
do." he said, "and Mr. Kintner
said. 'Fine. We'll send you to Tok
yo for some news experience.' I
was rather startled. My wife was
pregnant (their daughter Elizabeth
was born July 2) and I asked Mr.
Kintner if I could take her to To
kyo too. He said, 'Sure.' and to
check out with Bill McAndrew
vice president) in charge of NBC
news. But Bill McAndrew said
they didn't need anybody in Tok
yo. The best place for experience,
he said, was Washington."
The five weeks Van Doren spent
in Washington for NBC this sum
mer as a cub television reporter
he considers one of the most prof
itable times of his Inc.
"When J went there," he said,
"I was pretty worried as to wheth
er they'd think I was a dilettante
an interloper or a publicity
crazy guy. But the people there
accepted me on exactly the terms
I wanted: as a beginning reporter.
I asked millions of questions and
everybody always was helpful."
