The commission will survey just what powers it has to police radio and TV programming. It said Tuesday the inquiry might lead to proposals for new legislation by Congress. The FCC also will take a hard new look at its policies on granting radio and television station licenses to make sure they are “adequate in view of the changed and changing conditions in the broadcast industry.” The commission said this phase of the investigation would involve development of “more detailed and precise standards for the guidance of broadcasters in the exercise of their responsibility.” The agency will hire additional staff members and otherwise expedite the inquiry, which stemmed from the recent congressional investigation of rigged quiz programs. This is the fourth investigation of radio-TV practices. In addition to the congressional hearings, which next will consider alleged bribes to disc jockeys, the Federal Trade Commission has started a crackdown on false and misleading commercials and the Justice Deprtment is looking into the legal questions involved in rigged quiz programs and other fraudulent practices.

Rockefeller Starts On Political Foray WASHINGTON (UPI) — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York is heading West tonight for his first major political foray to assess his chances of winning the 1960 Republican presidential nomination. His first stops will be in the presumably hostile territory of California, home state of Vice President Richard M. Nixon and one of two pivotal states getting much attention this week from prospective presidential candidates. The other is Wisconsin, which has a presidential primary law making it a political battleground in election years. Nixon, who now holds a commanding lead in public opinion polls over Rockefeller, and Sen John F. Kennedy (DMass>, current pace-setter among Democrats, both will be traveling in Wisconsin Thursday. Kennedy addresses the Wisconsin Democratic convention at Milwaukee Friday and another hopeful, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) follows him into the same forum Saturday. Nixon speaks Thursday night at a Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., dinner honoring Rep. Melvin R. Laird (R-Wis.), with whom the vice president served in the House. Rockefeller’s tour will take him into Oregon, Washington and Idaho as well as California.

Zero Temperatures Hit Montana Today United Press International Zero temperatures bit into Montana today on the heels of a raging blizzard that caused the depth of four airmen in the crash of three all-weather Air Force jets. The cold, accompanied by scattered snow flurries, was expected to move through Wyoming into the northern and central plains and the upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. Ahead of the storm, showers were expected in a wide belt from eastern Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley through the Ohio Valley into New York State. The jets, flying in a squadron, were “weathered in” Tuesday by the blizzard and ordered to land, but the three ran out of fuel and crashed. Four airmen rode their planes to their deaths, but two bailed out and were rescued. Snow flurries flew Tuesday night through the Rockies, the Dakotas and Minnesota with a few showers in northern Michigan, the southern plains and the lower Mississippi Valley. Strong winds were forecast today for the upper Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, with a few light showers expected in the eastern Arizona mountainsThe cold air dropped temperatures to zero in northern Montana and Sheridan, Wyo., reported a 34-degree drop to 22 degrees. The mercury rose into the 50s along the Gulf Coast, contrasted to 20 - degree readings in New England.

Health Officials Test Cranberries

United Press International State and city officials around the country today began sampling fresh and canned cranberries on sale in local areas to see if they were contaminated with a weed killer that has caused cancer in rats. Some helth departments seized cranberry crops of wholesalers and retailers until tests are completed. • Other health officials moved more cautiously but urged housewives against buying cranberries until present supplies are checked, expected to take five days. The Illinois Agriculture Department ordered seizure of all cranberries from the states of Oregon, Washington and Massachusetts "to potect the public health.” The Chicago Board of Health also seized cranberry crops from the suspected states and ordered its entire staff of 45 inspectors to begin sampling cranberries on sale in the Windy City. In lowa, the state Health Department advised housewives against purchasing cranberries until supplies can be checked. But Health Commissioner Edmund Zimmerer said he doubts there is any great danger from eating even the contaminated berries because the weed spray could cause cancer “only after long application.” G.S. Mclntyre, director of the Michigan Agriculture Department, said he expected to begin tests of cranberries on sale in the state today. In the meantime, Michigan grocers were urged not to sell cranberries pending outcome of the tests,*® However, many grocery chains in Michigan and elsewhere had already removed cranberries from their shelves, including A&P food stores and Kroger. i Experts in Wisconsin assured food wholesalers that berries grown in their state were free from cancer - producing insecticides. But despite the report, two food chains in Milwaukee pulled fresh and canned cranberries from (their shelvesSales of cranberries, where they were still on the shelves, were nearly at a standstill. The Eagle supermarket in Cedar Rapids, lowa, gave refunds to customers who returned cranberries after reading newspaper accounts of the dange. The market even gave a housewife her money back when she brought in a freshly cooked pot of cranberries.

Chiropractors Case Before Celina Court The legality of whether chiropractors can practice without a medical license in Ohio will be questioned at Celina, 0., with Judge Robert Harrington, of Van Wert, as special judge on the case. The five chiropractors, charged with illegal practices by the Ohio medical association, were arraigned before the Ohio jurist Tuesday. Judge Harrington was to set the date for the trial with the chiropr actors expected to ask for a jury trial. Harrington received the call to sit on the bench when the Celina judge disqualified himself earlier this week. The Ohio supreme court then appointed Harrington as special judge. The case is expected to draw national attention as it will be a test case for the legality of the chiropractors within the medical profession. Judge Harington, a proponent of canon 35, has denied the use of television cameras in the courtroom which may take some color from the case. (Canon 35 is an ethical ruling of the bar association which states that the use of cameras in the courtroom detracts from the demorum of the court). Several network and local television stations had approached the judge, asking for permission to use TV cameras during the trial.

Allen County Towns Seek Phone Service INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The residents of three Allen County small towns have filed a brief with the Indiana Public Service Commission asking that the General Telephone Co. be directed to provide extended service with Fort Wayne. Telephone customers in Leo, Grabill and Harlan filed the brief in response to testimony presented at an Oct. 26-27 hearing at Fort Wayne General’s requested rate hike. They asked that their communities either be connected directly with Fort Wayne or that better and more trunk lines be established between the towns. Attached to the brief were clippings from a national business magazine, which attorneys said were offered to show "how policy and rates are dictated from New York for the sole benefit of the parent company ” Licenses Suspended Os Three Motorists Three Decatur motorists were listed on the Indiana bureau of motor vehicles suspension list for various offenses. Guadalupe Garza, 727 Schirmeyer, who was convicted of a drunk driving charge, had his license suspended until Oct. 19, 1960. Homer Russell Springer, of 1604 Adams street, also convicted of a drunk driving charge, had his driver’s license suspended until Sept. 10, 1960. Jay Jacob Yost, of route 6, Decatur, who was convicted of a reckless driving charge, had his license suspended until Oct. 6, 1960. Fort Wayne Girl Dies Os Traffic Injuries FORT WAYNE, Ind.

Members Warned By Farm Bureau Leader INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — President George Doup of the Indiana Farm Bureau warned members today that any farm production payment plan is unwanted regimentatoin and should be fought. "An attempt will likely be made in the next session of Congress,” Doup said in an address prepared for delivery at the bureau’s 41st annual convention, “to force open the gate to payment programs by applying it to hogs. This bill has already passed the House Agriculture Committee. “If hogs remain at low price during the early months of next year, and they probably will, political planners may take advantage of this depressed price situation to try and force this grandiose scheme on livestock men. "Farmers must not let this happen.” Doup said that most Indiana farmers would find that “the limited payment being proposed would surely look mighty small.” “When calculated on the two, three or four different commodities that almost every Hoosier tanner produces, it would divide into reidiculously small portions for each of these crops,” Doup said. He said agriculture would “become a public utility” under a payment plan and it would be “a sad day for the American farmer ” “It would march agriculture back to the low income levels of farmers in other countries. Mr. Khrushchev (Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev) could then boast that Russia had surpassed American agriculture. "Farmers must not become become hired hands of government, caught in a big trap with such small bait.” Doup also said that a reasonable and realistic crop adjustment and price support program should be developed and enacted, that the bureau must analyze state revenue raising measures to see if any revisions are needed by the time the 1961 Legislature meets, and that the new 1959 State School Corporation and Reorganization Act is “sound” and its objective “sensible.” Doup said Lightening the property tax load is “likely the most pressing question facing the next session of the Legislature and the next governor.” He said it’s too early for the organization to take a stand for or against any tax. But he suggested the bureau formally create tax and fiscal policy commission for .a onfe-year investigation. Doup said regarding production adjustment and price support programs that some in the past had been beneficial but others “only created additional headaches.” He said such an adjustment program should include conservation reserves of millions of acres of crop lands from areas where crop surpluses exist, which should be taken from production for a period of years and not even used for grazing.
