FCC Probers OK Schwartz

The UPI report says a congressional subcommittee voted 6-5 not to fire FCC chief Bernard Schwartz, but the decision isn’t final. Schwartz, 34, from New York University, said he would not attend a closed hearing if questioned about his conduct or expense accounts and pressed for a public hearing. The inquiry centers on expense account padding and misconduct within regulatory agencies, with bickering and calls for resignation surrounding the probe. Schwartz charged improper influence by White House aides and Eisenhower aides, naming Sherman Adams and Col. George Gordon Moore, plus Sinclair Weeks and Robert Murray Jr as figures involved, though details were not provided. The panel planned a two-hour closed session to discuss criticism of Schwartz.
