Los Angeles Disc Jockeys Charged in Payola Case
LOS ANGELES UPI — “Payola” in the form of prostitutes, automobile repair jobs and hard cash went to Los Angeles disc jockeys who played certain records, according to a former record promoter. Currie Grant said he gave that testimony Friday before the Federal Communications Commission board investigating reports that Los Angeles area station managers and disc jockeys were paid off for playing the popularizing certain records on the air. Grant said he also told the closed-door hearing that disc jockeys received food and clothing in return for favoring certain records. “Some of the girls used in the payoffs were real lookers. They’d knock your eyes out,” he said.
Sam Laine, a freelance song promoter and brother of singer Frankie Lane, made a brief appearance at the closed-door hearing, but said later he was temporarily excused from testifying. He said he probably would be called again next week. The FCC investigation apparently was the result of a civil suit filed two years ago by Grant and another former record promoter, Albert Huskey. They said they were blackballed in the recording industry and asked $230,000 damages. They charged they were ostracized because they complained about “payola" practices to the FCC in August 1963. The suit has not yet come to trial. The secret FCC hearings were to continue Monday.

Don’t Mention Diamonds To Italian Bridge Star By Alfred Sheinwold If you run into Pietro Forquet, don’t say a word about diamonds.

S>ew Maths, of the North American team, led the three of hearts. Forquet lost dummy’s king to the ace, and back came A heart to the ten. Mathe switched to the deuce of diamonds, which rode to the king. Bob Hamman returned another heart, forcing dummy to ruff. Needing the rest of the tricks, Forquet cashed the ace of clubs, ruffed a low club and ruffed his last heart with rummy’s queen of spades. Mathe carefully discarded the king of clubs on this trick. Now Forquet could not get out of dummy to draw trumps.
He tried overtaking dummy’s king of trumps with the ace, but then the jack and ten of trumps were not enough to draw West’s trumps. Forquet was beaten by the 4-1 break in trumps. CASH DIAMONDS Forquet could make the hand by cashing his good diamonds before ruffing a fourth round of hearts. After Forquet had cashed the ace of clubs at the fifth trick he should take the ace of diamonds, ruff a low club, and then cash the queen of diamonds. Declarer could then ruff his last heart with the queen of spades and draw a round of trumps with dummy’s king. South’s last three cards would be the A-J-10 of spades, which would obviously win the last three tricks. The point is that Forquet had no reason to think that trumps would break S-2. He had every reason to think that West had led the deuce of diamonds from a holding of three or four diamonds. This was enough to assure the contract. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one club, and the next player passes. You hold: S-A J 10 6 5; H-9 7 4 2; D-Q 10 9; C-2. What do you say? Answer: Bid one spade. This is the obvious response in any natural bidding system. The response of one heart made in the world championship was an artificial response to the forcing opening bid of one club in the Neapolitan Club System. (The response showed two kings or one ace but did not promise anj' particular length in hearts.)
Communists Want More Negroes NEW YORK UPI — Concerned with a lack of participation in the civil rights movement, the Communist Party plans to increase Negro membership during the next few months. Roscoe Proctor, a Negro spokesman-delegate, told a Friday news conference that the party’s national convention was concerned with a “gap” in participation in the freedom movement. The gap reflected on Negro membership, Proctor said, but predicted that more Negroes would join the party in the next few months. “There has been a growing interest, particularly the Negro youth in documents, policy and the direction of the party in this country," Proctor said. During Friday’s session, the 400 delegates discussed the trade union movement in America, according to a delegatespokesman from Maryland. George Meyers said the party would seek “a unity of the labor movement and the freedom movement ... to end the rule of the Dixiecrats in the South." Although the convention was unable to reach agreement on a specific resolution, Meyers said the party would concentrate on “organizing the unorganized, strengthening the existing labor organizations.”

Ku Klux Trial Begins Today ATHENS, Ga. UPI—The first of two trials for six Ku Klux Klansmen charged in connection with the 1964 nightrider killing of Negro educator Lemuel Penn begins here today. U.S. District Judge William A. Bottle ruled the klansmen will be tried three at a time. The defendants are Cecil Myers, George Turner, Joseph Howard Sims, Denver Willis Phillips, James S. Lackey and Herbert Guest, all of Athens. It was not determined which three would be tried first. U.S. Atty. Floyd Buford and Justice Department lawyer St. John Barrett, who will prosecute, said they would call about 50 witnesses. The defense attorneys are Robert Thompson of Gainesville, repreaentmg Lackey; and James Hudson of Athens, who represents the other five. The defendants were charged under an 1870 law that prohibits conspiracy to “injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate Negro citizens in the free exercise and enjoyment of the rights and privileges secured to them under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” Sims, Myers and Lackey were charged with murder by the state for the July 11, 1964, ambush of Perm who was returning home to Washington with two other Negro officers after finishing two weeks of summer Army reserve training at Ft. Benning, Ga. Sims and Myers were acquitted and Lackey was not tried. An alleged confession by Lackey was introduced At the trial. They were indicted by a federal grand jury along wtih the other three men on the conspiracy charge. Bottle dismissed the federal indictments but the U.S. Supreme Court overruled him, which, in effect, reinstated the indictments.

On The Farm Front By Bernard Brenner WASHINGTON UPI — The Senate Agriculture Committee contended in a report today that food prices should be permitted to rise to protect consumers against the threat of future shortages. The report, drafted by Sen. George S. McGovern, D-S.D., accompanied a farm parity resolution approved by the committee for action on the Senate floor. The resolution would state the intent of Congress that all government agencies should be governed -by earlier laws setting parity prices for farmers as a national goal. Parity is defined by law as a price which gives a farm product a fair value in comparison with the cost of things farmers buy. Farm prices currently are at 79 per cent of parity. The committee estimated that the average American consumer spends 13.2 per cent of his after-tax income for food. Increasing farm prices to full parity would boost the nation’s food bill to about 19.4 per cent, it said. “The very small amount of income required to achieve parity farm prices could be easily absorbed now. This would, by assuring a healthy and productive farm food plant, prove a bulwark of economic stability in years just ahead when population pressure on food capacity is increasing,” the report said. The report said that a far greater threat to consumers than a price increase now would ba a shortage of food in the future. It maintained that such a threat might be raised if low income forced farmers to liquidate their operations—a development the committee said was already in progress in the dairy industry.

Lt. Governors End Conference
CLEVELAND UPI — The country's lieutenant governors wind up their fifth national conference tonight with a talk by James E. Webb, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The second-in-command state officials split Friday over the desirability of running- on a joint ticket with the governor candidates. On the one hand, some felt I the joint ballot would put I lieutenant governors “in the • mainstream of state govern- j ment.” Others concurred with i Lt. Gov. Nathan Gordon. D-1 Ark., that it was ‘fcogwash” to believe that the lieutenant governor needed to serve as an understudy to the state’s top executive.
By Rick Du Brow HOLLYWOOD UPI—The growing shortage of movies for television—that is, films that have not been previously seen on the home tube—has had such widespread repercussions that they amount to a show business revolution. The basic reason for the shortage is, well, basic in the extreme: With motion pictures having shown their steady power to draw ratings, the next video season will find five movies on the three networks each week: Two on NBC-TV, two on CBS-TV and one on ABC-TV. In addition, the many local stations devour whatever films they can get their hands on. There are obvious other business attractions about movies: No budgets to worry about, no | temperamental stars, and a long | waiting list of advertisers who know they are buying proven success. With such a shortage and such a demand, one of the natural repercussions is the huge increase in the prices demanded for the films. Numerous movies are being sold to the networks for about half a million dollars. ABC-TV has paid $2 million for “The Bridge on the River Kwai.” European film salesmen suddenly find they are in a better bargaining position than ever before, because if they have reasonably good movies—especially those that can avoid excessive dubbing problems—they are in a sellers’ market. Likewise, film salesmen both here and abroad are also able to unload really bad movies in a “package” sales to buyers who may want another motion picture of quality and are willing to accept the castoffs as part of the bargain. European films, however— and the artier and earthier American movies — pose, and will continue to pose, a headache for networks and stations that are sensitive about the morality of the family viewing audience. The procedure, however, has been predictable: Though worrying about morality, the buyers are more woiried about money and getting movies, so the result has been— and wall continue to be—earthier viewing in the nation’s living rooms. Nevertheless, it is obvious that eventually the demand will exceed the supply, so the netwoi’ks are taking steps to plug the coming gap. First off, in the coming season, there will be a slate of special “two-hour television movies” now being shot at the Hollywood studios. Some wags naturally expect these will merely be two-hour television shows that are just called movies. On the other hand, they may help serve the function that the old low-budget "B” pictures once were used for in Hoi- j lywood's palmier days. In addition, the shortage of films ironically has helped bring back some good, serious drama —in the theatre vein—to television. For example, stalling next spring or in the 1967-68 season, ABC-TV will present a! once-a-month program called | “Sunday Night at the Theatre, ’ I which will be comprised of two- j hour television versions of ma- i jor, contemporary Broad way !

plays. These will fill in the gap which ABC-TV is making by dropping one of its four-times-a-month “Sunday Night at the ; Movies” presentations. ABC-TV has discovered, quite ' naturally, that putting on e | good play will cost hardly more | than buying a good film, and will bring more prestige, and quiet criticism over the lack of good television drama, and also give the network the rerun rights to a valuable piece of theatrical property. Or, as the French say — when they are talking to us—the more things change, the more they are the same.
