Contestant Swears Quiz Show Fixed
WASHINGTON (/P)—A 32-
year-old graduate student who
helped whick the fabulous TV
C]uiz show business swore
Tuesday he had put on a
crooked performance for money.
In a congressional hearing that
ranged from the hilarious to the
deadly serious, Herbert Stempel
of New York testified:
1. That he was slipped the an
swers beforehand, and even told
how to have his hair cut, when he
appeared on “Twenty-One” in
1956 against Charles Van Doren.
2. Thai he pleaded with Dan

observatory, packed with auto

apparatus, came within 4,375
miles of the moon at its nearest
approach. The time was 5:16 p.m

About three hours later, the So
iviet news agency added, it was
! 9,370 miles away "near the plane
of the lunar equator.”
"The rocket is moving strict

orbit is plotted to head it back
to the vicinity of the earth,
from which the Soviets fired it
Sunday.

This puzzled some scientists

Laughlin; A. B. Homer, president
of Bethlehem; Charles White,
chairman of Republic; and R.

the meeting by I. W. Abel, union
secretary-tieasurer; Howard Ha
gue, vice president; and Arthur
J. Goldberg, union general coun
sel.
Eever since the strike started
July 15. McDonald has been
insisting that steel company
leaders meet with the union.
McDonald renewed his request
for a meeting with steel chief
tains after talks with the regular
industry bargainers collapsed
Monday night.
The steel industry has contend
ed all along that its representa
tives headed by Cooper have full
| authority to negotiate an agree
ment.
