Turkey Leads Poland in New Vote;
Two-Thirds Majority Still Lacking
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (MP)-Turkey, the West's candidate. for
a seat on the United Nations Security Council, went into a slight
lead over Communist Poland yesterday in a new round of voting.
But the Turks were well short of a two-thirds majority, and the
East-West deadlock persisted.
Balloting in the General Assembly was suspended for two weeks
after a see-saw race developed. Turkey's three-vote edge, its best
showing so far, gave the West new bargaining strength in the intense
diplomatic maneuvering for the seat on the 11-nation Council.

At stake is the prestige of the West, as well as a vote in the

By BERT R. SUGAR
IN JUNE, 1955, a new era in pro-
gramming for television came
into focus.
Following the pattern of previous
successful quiz shows, "$64,000
Question," produced by Louis Co-
wan, emerged as the summer sea-
son's newst rage. The game of
finding out who knows the an-
swers had been a flourishing social
institution ever since Eve made

dent of a prominent New York

THUS, WHEN Reed O'Hanlon
won $16,000 as an expert on the
subject of Shakespeare, Revlon
struck the advertising jackpot, in-
creasing its sales 500%, and other
producers and advertisers jumped
onto the quiz-show bandwagon.
Quickly following in the wake of
"$64,000 Question" came "21,"
"$64,000 Challenge," "High-Low,"
"The Big Surprise," "Tic Tac
Dough," "Dotto," and many others,
geared to the viewer's vicarious
emotional responses to being asked
questions, and in one way or an-
other eliciting the answers from
the contestants.

The national heroes spawned
from the quiz show era included.
Gino Prado, Myrtle Powers, Joyce
Brothers, Richard McCutcheon,
Charles Van Doren, Teddy Nad-
ler, Elfreda Van Nordorf, Harold
Craig and Leonard Ross.
Prior to the emergence of Van
Doren as a national hero, there
had existed a distrust of all erudite
individuals, but the amassing of
$129,000 by Van Doren gave the
country its first "Egghead" idol, to
the point where he appeared on
the February 11, 1957, cover of
Time magazine, a magazine at-
tuned to the sensitive opinion of
the public.
For the past two weeks a House
Investigating Committee, under

the guidance of Rep. Oren Harris
of Arkansas has been delving iiuo'
the pithy subject of the answers
elicited from the contestants, in
order to discover any way of com-
batting the rigging of quiz shows
through future legislation. There-
fore, one must initially understand
the objectives of the people behind
quiz shows and secondarily, the
methods used to "rig" the shows.
In this way the investigations now
underway can be viewed in their
proper perspective.

HAVING AN opportunity to

and interviewing 'for "Twenty-
One," and "464,000 Question," I
saw two methods of hand-picking
the winners of quiz shows that are
available to those in charge of the
operation of the show. These two
methods are the direct and in-
direct manner of knowing your
winner beforehand, and using his
sustained appeal for higher audi-
ence ratings.
The direct methods exist in
forthrightly giving the contestant
selected to win the answer to a
future question, or giving him
simply the questions and leaving
him to his own ingenuity to seek
out the answers.

The committee was created l

Mayor Makes Appointments
Councilmen Russell J. Bur

-Recently the West has resorted to
procedural maneuvers in the
Council to frustrate the threat of
Soviet vetoes. One recent example
is the dispatch of a Council sub-
committee to investigate charges
of Communist aggression in Laos.
Seven votes were needed. With
the possibility of more neutralist
nations taking Council seats in the
future, every pro-Western vote will
count.

na- third time the Assembly has met
day to choose a successor for the two-
i- year term in the Council seat now
rty held by Japan. The winner takes

al- sixth and final one for the day, the

can This was the highest number of
a G.votes for Turkey during any of the
G. 31 ballots. At one time during the
en start of voting last Monday the

By FRED KATZ
Associate Sports Editor
Athletic Director H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler yesterday appeared set to
sever relations with Michigan that date back to 1938, when he first
became head football coach.
The Associated Press quoted a reliable source as saying that Cris-
ler would accept a $60,000 long-term offer from the American Foot-
ball League to become its commissioner.
The source said Crisler would make public his decision Friday.,
However, the validity of this report was questioned because Cris-

For Petitions
Petitioning for the Nov. 3 and 4
Student Government Council elec-

Thursday, Roger Seasonwein, '61,
Elections Director, announced yes-
terday.
Although petitioning was origi-
nally scheduled to close yesterday,
Seasonwein explained that, five
potential candidates requested the
extension because of "immediately
pressing academic responsibilities."
Two people took out petitions
yesterday. They are John Doty, 61,
and Henry Brewster, '63. r
Others who have not yet reurned
petitions are Richard Wagner, '61;
James Stevenson, '60; Conrad
Batchelder, '60; and Dennis Sha-
fer, '63.
Those who have completed peti-
tioning are Nancy Adams, '60; Ron
Bassey, '60; Charles Franzblau,
'61; John Garland, '60; Al Haber,

Crisler refused to deny or con-
firm this latest speculation con-
cerning his immediate future.
Owners of the new professional
league also declined comment.
The 60-year-old Crisler has en-
gaged in negotiations with AFL
officials continually the past three
weeks, and several persons close
to the scene feel he has been seri-
ously interested for a couple of
months.
Last week Crisler flew to Bev-
erly Hills, Calif., and spent two
days with Lamar Hunt, Barron
Hilton and H. P. Skoglund, own-
ers of three of the six league fran-
chises.
The AP's source said that the
league was prepared to meet Cris-
ler's demands for a five-year con-
tract, and fringe benefits that in-
clude an insurance policy as high
as a million dollars.
Crisler admitted that he
planned to take a physical exam-
ination this week, although he
called it an "annual checkup," and
said it had been planned for a
long time.

MUNICH, Germany (R)-Investi-
gators established yesterday that
cyanide poison killed Stepan Ban-
dera, the legendary anti-Com-
munist guerrilla chief from the
Ukraine.
But the mystery that surrounded
his life continued in death.
His associates charge he was the
victim of a Moscow-directed mur-
der plot. Police say he seems to
have committed suicide but "we
are completely in the dark as to
the motive."
The body of the 50-year-old
Bandera was found Thursday noon

in the staircase hall of his secluded
Munich home, one of the many
hideouts from which he directed
an estimated million nationalist
Ukrainians.
Initially, he was believed to have
died in a fall but doctors perform-
ing the autopsy found traces of
cyanide in his stomach. A police-
man said the fact he swallowed
the poison pointed to a suicide.
He said he doubted an assassin
would dare force a man to take
poison in a crowded apartment
house.

DISGUSTED WITH SCHOOL:
Southbound Student To Peddle Streets of Laredo

By NORMA SUE WOLFE
A small but energetic University student has. given up pouring
over textbooks for maps and bicycling to class for what he considers
"real traveling."
Five-foot-five Douglass Morgan, '61E,/left yesterday for the only
pedal-less part of his journey to Rio De Janiero, approximately a
10,000-mile ride from his point of takeoff at Laredo, Tex. He and his.
English bike, equipped only with six speeds and two saddlebags, will
arrive in Laredo by train.
From there on, the trip will require a lot of legwork, with at least
two major gaps in the Pan American Highway, plus a lot of moun-
tain climbing.
Highway Dies
"The highway just dies out in some spots," Morgan said. "I may
have to boat around the areas from Costa Rica to Northern Panama
and Panama to Colombia.
"As for the gap between Mexico and Guatemala, I may be able to
get through there. I can always walk," he added.
Morgan was confident he could make the trin in a little over six
