CARTER, 70, TESTIFIED FRIDAY 7 have tried to quit lying all my life' LAUGHS RING OUT AT HEARING Criminal Action Charges Violation on Four Counts By ANTHONY LEWIS Special From the New York Times WASHINGTON Radio Corporation of America (RCA) was indicted Friday for alleged multiple violations of the anti-trust laws. Attorney General William P. Rogers announced what is by far the most important criminal anti-trust action in the five years of the Eisenhower administration economically and politically. The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in New York.

The indictment, in four counts, charges violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman anti-trust act. These prohibit combinations in restraint of trade, monopolies, attempts to monopolize interstate or foreign commerce and conspiracies to monopolize. In layman's language, RCA was accused of: Conspiring with other large electronics companies in this country to monopolize patents for radio, television and similar electronic devices. Stifling research and development in radio and television by refusing to license its patents except in "packages" which include thousands of patents that a licensee might not want. Making cartel arrangements with the largest British, Dutch, German and other foreign electronics manufacturers under which they keep their product out of the United States and RCA keeps out of their countries.

Agreeing with the foreign electronics companies not to compete in each other's countries in licensing patents. The government brought a civil anti-trust suit against RCA in 1954, asking the courts to stop some of the domestic patent practices charged in yesterday's criminal action. That suit is still pending. CRIMINAL anti-trust suits cover the same offenses as civil and require the Same kind of evidence. A criminal conviction is considered a graver blot on the defendant's record, and the government usually brings criminal actions when it considers there have been long-standing and serious violations.

Maximum fine for a company convicted of violating the Sherman act is $50,000 on each count a total of $200,000 in this case. Conviction can also be used against the defendant in any antitrust civil suit subsequently brought by private companies for treble damages. The threat of private antitrust suits is a serious one. Last fall RCA settled for a reported $10,000,000 an antitrust suit brought against it by Zenith Corp. INVESTIGATIONS of RCA's patent practices by the justice department have been going on in the department since 1930.

White House sources said presidential assistant Sher man Adams had let the word be passed indirectly to Mack that his usefulness to the ndmin- If vv f'l istration has I j' I rnclcd because I aLJ of the revela- Mack house subcommittee on legislative oversight. It was reported that there are positively no direct requests from Adams to Mack for his resicnation. Amid reports that Mack is unwilling to resign voluntarily, the justice department has taken the first steps in preparation to remove him A WEEK ago Bernard Schwartz, ousted chief coun scl of the oversight subcom mittee, charged Mack received a $2,650 payoff from a Miami, lawyer who represented an applicant for television Channel 10 in Miami. The evidence that has been unveiled since then and a federal bureau of investigation (FBI) probe have convinced administration officials that Mack must go. Administration officials have concluded since then that, although Mack's conduct might not amount to an indictable offense, it represents grounds for removing him from office.

JUSTICE department officials have reviewed the law relative to the problem of removal if Mack continues to be reluctant about voluntarily stepping aside. They also have listened to a wire recording of Mack's conversation with two former subcommittee investigators-Herbert Wachtel and Paul Bcrgcr in which it is reported that Mack admitted pledging his vote on the Channel 10 case, and admitted that he knew Thurman A. Whiteside, Miami attorney, was a representative of National Airlines, the applicant that was finally awarded Channel 10 with the help of Mack's vote.

The council acted without a formal vote.

In effect, the 11-nation body told the two countries that the United Nations remained concerned but would make no move pending attempts of the Su dan and Egypt to reach their own solution. THE DECISION was reached after representatives of the two countries made statements before the council which were more conciliatory in tone than the exchanges between Khartoum and Cairo in recent days. (SYRIA Votes for Arab union Page 2.) Omar Loutfi of Egypt re peated to the council Cairo's pledge that the government of President Gamal Abdel Nasser had decided to "post poned settling the frontier question till after the Sudanese elections," which are due Thursday, Thereafter, he said, "negotiations are to begin for settling the undecided questions after the new Su danese government is chosen." The Egyptian representative thus apparently waived the demand that the population of the Sudanese enclaves north of the 22nd parallel be allowed to vote in the plebiscite on the union between Syria and Egypt. Yacoub Osman of the Su dan told the council his gov ernment entertained "great hopes that wise counsels will prevail in direct talks between the Sudan and Egypt. HE DID NOT retreat from Sudanese charges that Egypt had massed troops along the border with demands "like an ultimatum," but, he added, the Sudan hoped only that the council would take such measures as might calm the situation and pave the way for friendly negotiations after the election.

The council was called yesterday afternoon as a result of a complaint by the Sudan charging Egypt with "impeding aggression" by moving large concentrations of troops toward the disputed border areas.

A witticism is his way of releasing re- Dressed hostility. If he doesn't find a victim, he probably will suffer from a migraine headache attack." Grotiahn has made a search of the cause and meaning of laughter and its relationship to the unconscious. "A witticism," he says, "starts with an aggressive tendency or intent an in sult-like, shockinc thought.

By clothing the insult with the veneer of laughter, and the convention of a joke, the wit brings his bottled up hos tilities to the surface in a manner acceptable to society." Grotjahn has examined the gamut of comedians, amateur and professional. Some of his conclusions: The kidder One who expresses his own conflict with authority, usually his parents; he imitates his father torturing his "kid. The caricaturist He in sults people, reduces them to the stroke of a brush or pen in a manner acceptable to society. The clown He represents the depreciated father fig ure; once big and powerful, the father is reduced to a ridiculous, impotent figure. Do vou blame a noor mem ory for forgetting jokes? That isn't it at all.

It was good to step abroad after the long day's work. Oh yes, he knew now that in Jerusalem sophisticates looked down on the countrified Nazarenes, yokels with a ridiculous northern accent.
