WASHINGTON lP Fallen TV
idol Charles Van Doren confessed
in shame and anguish Monday that
he was deeply involved in rigging
the defunct, scandal-tinged "Twenty-One"
quiz show.
Now Van Doren faces possible
perjury charges in court, and per
haps an end to his $.r!),0o0-a-year
television career and the loss of
his teaching job at Colombia Uni
versity. But tlit tall, wavy-haired, 33 year
old English professor had come at
last to a tortured, soul-searching
conclusion that "The truth is thf
only thing with which a man can
live."
For tlnep years Van Doren had
concealed, in tear and fully, he
said, Ihat the $K'y,0oo he won on
" 1 weoly-Oiif " vveie dishonest dol
lars. l'hi man uhu coached him, he
told a house rummerce subcom
mittee, was Albeit Fieedman, the
producer of the show. Freedman
already is under indictment on
charges of lying when he denied
to a grand jury that the program
was fixed.
In New York, the National Broad
casting Co. said it was withholding
comment on Van Doren's testi
mony for the present. Freedman
could not be located for his reac
tion. At one time. Van Doren testified
under questioning, Freedman told
him: "Charlie, I think I ought to
have $5,000 oi that money."
- Van IWen said be was sorry he
ever mentioned that not that he's
trying still to hide something, but
"I don't think Mr. Fredman meant
that the way it sounds."
The matter never was brought up
again, he said, and no arrange
ment was ever made between "him
and Freedman.
Van Doren's 90-minute session
on the witness stand of a House
commerce subcommittee was ev
ery bit as tense and dramatic as
any of his 14 appearances in the
NBC isolation booth back in late
195C and early 1957.
Instead of millions of television
viewers the House allows no
televising of hearings perhaps
500 spectators packed elbow to
elbow into the House caucus room.
Among them were Van Doren's
wife and his father, Mark, the poet.
Also there was Herbert Sternpel,
a contestant Van Doren dethioned
on the quiz program. It was Stem
pel whose charges led to evidence
that the show was fixed.
Today's unvarnished drama show
ed that all those apparent mental
pangs Van Doren went through in
downing Sternpel and a string of
other competitors were faked.

Van Doren's
Dad Believes
He Did Right
WASHINGTON W Poet Mark
Van Doren, father of Charles, was
present Monday during his son's
dramatic confession of deception
on a TV quiz show.
"Did you help him with bus state
ment" a reporter asked.
"No, not all," Mark replied.
"You think he's doing the right
things?"
"Absolutely."
"Does his wife think so, too?"
A nod of the head.
Charles Van Doren's yoting wife,
in a black dress, glanced at the
reporter a second and then riveted
her eyes again on the witness stand
where Charles sat.
"Write Me From Rio," a collec
tion of .short stories by Charles Ed
ward Eaton, an alumnus and for
mer instructor in creative writing
here, has just been published by
.John Fries Blair of Winston-Salem.
The stories are also to be Trans
lated into Portuguese and issued in
Rio de Janeiro under the sponsor
ship of the Brazilian Government
through its Instituto Naciohal do
Livro.
The volume is composed of the
best of Eaton's short stories which
have been appearing in the ma
gazines for the past five years.
AH of the stories have setting in
Rio de Janeiro and other parts
of Brazil where the author was
stationed for four years as Vice !
Consul at the American Embassy, j
and they reflect the experience of
these years.
"However, in their final applica
tion, they are, as Joseph Conrad
said all fiction must be, 'chronicles
of the adventures of mankind
amongst the dangers of the king
dom of the earth'," Publisher Blair
says. "Each srory represents a
different aspect of the American
character as exemplified by an in
dividual responding to the exotic
scene with delight, humor, aston
ishment, or terrors, and finding in
the mirror of a marvelous land a
reflection of his secret conflicts,
dreams and aspirations. Though
each story stands alone, unlike
other collections the stories achi
eve a unite of effect . with inter
locking themes and resonances, so
that the wholeness and compact'
ness of design, usually associated
with the novel, is the result."
In addition to their publication
in the magazines, the stories have
all been cited by Martha Foley
in her annual compilation of the
most distiiiguisheu stories of the
year, and one of theai., "The
Motion of Forgetfulness is Su,"
reprinted in her Best American
Short Stories anthology.
Eaton was born in Winston-Salem
and is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate
of UNC, class of 1936. He studied
philosophy at Princeton and look
his M.A. degree in English from
Harvard where he studied under
Robert Frost upon whose recom
mendation he was awarded a fel
lowship to the Bread Loaf Writers
Conference. Leaving Haravrd. he
taught creative writing at the Uni
versity of Missouri, and af-er his
return from Rio de Janeiro, taught
creative writing once more al the
University of North Carolina. Sev
eral years ago, he and his wife,
the former Isabel Patterson of !
Pittsburgh, settled near Woodbury,
Conn, where he is devoting all of
his time to writing.
More than 50 magazines in (his
country and abroad have pub
lished Eaton's work in poetry and
the short story, incluling Harper's
Magazine, The Saturday Review
of Literature. The Atlantic Month-
ly, The Yale Review, The Vir
ginia Qua-terly Heview, The Na
tion, The Georg'a Review, New
Statesman and Nation (England i,
He is the author of three vol
umes of peotry: "The Bright; Plain."
"The Shadow Of The Swimmer,"

den." The - second volume won the
Ridgely Torrence Memorial Award,
and the third was one of the final
nominees for the National Bock
Award in 1957. Recordings of his
poems are in the permanent col

What Is Kingston Trio Like Offstage?
Student Party Votes To Have
Jury System Continued Here
A resolution supporting the
maintenance of the jury system
and the establishment of a camnus
wide venire was unanamously ac
cepted by Monday night's meeting
of the Student Party.
The resolution was introduced
by Norman B. Smith and will be
brought before the legislature ls
a main motion by SP Floor Leader
Bob Nobles next Thursday night.
In further action, the party
pledged financial support to this
motion and the redistribution .of
the men's, women's and Student
councils motion which passed the
legislature Thursday.
A motion by Robin Britt asking
for support of a freshman legisla
ture was accepted by the party,
and $3.50 was appropriated to take
care of paper work involved in
developing the plan.
The "Rameses" column of Sun
day, November 1, was brought un
der discussion. Bob Nobels reai a
statement defending his action in
the legislature and condemning
the "printing of rumors".
Under discussion at the close
of the meeting .after many of the
party members had gone home,
was a resolution to "withdraw the
Student Party's endorsement of
Davis Young 'as Editor of The
Daily Tar Heel."' Heated discussion
among a few party members was
brought to a close by having the
motion tabled.
The tabled motion can be
brought up again by a two thirds
vote of the party membership.
Due to the lateness of the hour,
the Student Party's platform was
postponed for discussion and con
sideration until next week.
Next week's meeting will be held
on Tuesday.

The Kingston Trio launched Ger
mans weekend with a jolt of laugh
ter and music last Friday night
through their riotous raving and
smooth singing in Memorial Hall.
Tired but eager to answer all
questions the three college cutups.
offstage, appeared to be norma
home-loving, down-to-earth boys.
After the show they took their
medicine of flashbulbs with gen
erous chessy-cat grins, recorded
a short tape for a local radio
station and talked informally as
long as there were questions, re
vealing their appealing personali
ties and plans for the future, both
immediate and . long range.
Dave Guard, the banjo picker
and acknowledged leader, kept con
versations going and was never 'at
a loss for a sincere comment or
clever comeback. Dave, a gradu
ate of the Stanford School of Bus
iness, has a 16 month daughter,
whose picture he flashed when the
subject arose.
Little Nick Reynolds talked con
stantly, finally slowing down when
fatique took over. In answer to a
question aimed at the trio about
their wives, Nick quickly replied that
his wife and Bob Shane's wife are
now expecting. This was one of the
main reasons that the attractive

For Van Doren said he knew
ahead of, time what he was going
to be asked. He was coached on
the answers any how to deliver
them for maximum entertainment
impact, he said, and was even given
scripts to memorize in advance.
"'I was involved, deeply involved,
in a deception," he testified.
The man who became a national
celebrity because of his apparently
fabulous memory and range of
knowledge, said there may be a kind
of justice in the fact that he was
the principal victim of the deception
because he was its chief symbol.
'! would give almost anything
I have," he said, "to reverse the
course of my Lie in the last three
years."
When he had concluded, with a
' God bless you" from Chairman
Oren Harris (D-Aik), Van Doren
told reporters in slow, measured
words: "I feel better than I have
felt in three years."
It had taken Van Doren some
thing like a half hour to read a
formal statement saying he had
had a part in doctoring the TV
show and trying to explain the mo
ral and mental torture he said he ,
went through before he finally
came up with the truth.
At times, tears flooded Van Do
ren's eyes.
Once they sprang to the surface
when he spoke of Freedman and the
$5,000. They came again when Rep.
Walter Rogers D-Te: told him it
was "the most soul-searching con
fession I think I've seen in a long
time ... 1 know you feel much
cleaner inside."
And then again Van Doren was
on the point of breaking into tears
when he said he had heard he
might lose his position as an as
sistant professor at Columbia U.
Rep. William L. Springer (R
111) voiced a hope the board
would not act in a hurry and
would wait at least until public
reaction to his confession is in.
"Thank you, sir," Van Doren
replied. "I hope so with all my
heart."
While there as a burst of
applause when Harris dismissed
Van Doren with a "God bless
you," there was applause, too,
vi hen Rep. Steven B. Derounian
(K-NY) declined to go along with
compliments that other commit
tee 'members showered on the
witness for telling the truth.
"I don't think an adult of your
intelligence should be commended
for telling the truth," Derounian de
clared in severe tones.
Van Doren winced, flushed, and
ducked his head.
Various committee members
bored in with questions as to
whether NBC officials had asked
him to tell the truth, or to come
to Washington and testify to the
tru'h, once, the rigging charges
against "Twenty-One" came into
the open.
Van Doren said that two NBC
vice presi Jen's, James Stabile and
David Levy, had asked him to tes
tify once the subcommittee had
sought to cbtain him as a witness
early last month.
But up to that point, he said, he
hadn't told NBC otficials or even
his own lawyer the whole truth.
As for whether anyone else knew
of the rigging operations other than
himself and Freedman, Van Doren
said he assumed that Dan Enright,
one of the owners of "Twenty-One,"
knew what was going on. He said
he had no knowledge that anyone
else did.
It was all serious business to
day with a lauh to cut the ten
