Leonard H. Goldenson, chairman of the board of American Broadcasting Companies, has been chosen by his hometown of Scottdale, as its guest of honor at the town's centennial celebration on Sept. 14. J. A.

Martinsek, chairman of the Scoltdale Centennial said Mr. Goldenson had been selected for this honor because of his distinguished business career and his extraordinary humanitarian and civic endeavors. Mr. Goldenson was born and reared in Scottdale. His father operated a clothing business there for more than 50 years.

Mr. Goldenson left Scottdale in 1924 to attend Harvard College and Harvard Law School. He joined Paramount Pictures, in 1933, soon a receiving i a degree. In 1938, at the age of 32, he assumed full responsibility for Paramount Pictures' 1,700 motion picture theatres. He subsequently was elected a vice president and a director of the company, and in 1950, was elected president and director of the newly created United Paramount Theatres, following the separation of Paramount Pictures' motion picture production and distribution activities from the theatres.

Throughout his years at Paramount, Mr. Goldenson's interest in the newly emerging form of communication -television led to his recommendation that United Paramount Theatres merge with the American Broadcasting Company. As a result, American Broadcasting -Paramount Theatres, Inc. was formed in 1953 with Mr. Goldenson as president.

In July 1965, the parent company's name was changed to American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. Under Mr. Goldenson's 'direction, ABC, Inc. expanded rapidly in the broadcasting field and established its television network as a major entertainment and information medium. The company also broadly diversified its activities, adding a wide range of leisure time activities in MOUNTAIN CRASH Three persons were injured when these two cars were involved in a head-on crash at 2 p.m.

Come worship with us By RICH KIRKPATRICK Associated Press Writer HARRISBURG (AP)-Four highway contractors have told a House committee that they contributed hundreds of dollars to Democratic political, campaigns out of fear of losing state business. Three of the witnesses before the House Select Committee on State Contract Practices said Wednesday they were told they would get no contracts if they didn't pay.

But the testimony of one of the witnesses, Peter Paulisick of Export, Westmoreland County, concerning a highway official who took his contribution was disputed by the panel's minority Democrats and a Republican investigator. Partisan bickering broke out several times during the nine hours of hearings. Both sides disagreed over time limits for questioning, alleged withholding of information from Democrats and the right to recall witnesses. Democrats have consistently charged that the committee, headed by Rep. Patrick Gleason, R-Cambria, seeks merely to embarrass the Shapp administration in an election year.

The hearings were to resume today. The witnesses Wednesday charged that they had to make payments to insure that they would be eligible for work in Westmoreland County. Paulisick told the committee that he gave $519 and $730 to county Democratic committees in 1971 and 1972, respectively. But his accusation Wednesday that Egidio Cerilli, former superintendent in the Westmoreland County highway district, had demanded and collected the $730 contradicted Paulisick's earlier statement to committee investigators. Cerilli has since been appointed to the Turnpike Commission by Gov.

Shapp. According to the statement, Paulisick said that Ralph Buffone, assistant superintendent, collected the money. The contractor said he was initially confused over the identity of the official when asked by investigators. He said he called fellow contractor Joseph Morgan, who, he said, told him Cerilli had been involved. In his own statement, however, Morgan claims that he and Paulisick gave the checks to Buffone.

Morgan, contacted by Democratic staff members Wednesday, reiterated his previous allegation. And Republican investigator Walter Jenkins denied that Paulisick had mentioned Cerilli's name to Republican staffers. Gleason said Paulisick would not be recalled. However, a i i samples from Paulisick, Cerilli and Buffone will be sought to test Paulisick's claim that a county highway official filled in the names of the Democratic Campaign '72 committee on his contribution check.

Rocky To Help GOP Candidates WASHINGTON A Fresh from his first campaign trip as a vice presidential i A Rockefeller says he expects to spend a lot of time helping Republican candidates this fall. Besides keeping four or five political speaking dates each month, dates made before he was nominated Tuesday for vice president, Rockefeller says President Ford "would like me to take some of his previous engagements." But the former New York governor emphasized in talk- ing to reporters when he flew here Wednesay night after speaking to a Republican dinner in Newport, R.I., that "it really depends on the President" and that no firm policy has been decided. Earlier Wednesday, in Providence, R.I., Rockefeller a congressional Democrats that his a a i i directed solely against them.

"I'll campaign for people, but not against anybody. I've never been a campaigner who slashed out at the other side," he said. GM Rolls Back In Jawboning who has leased equipment to the state, said Buffone told him to contribute $700, or 5 per cent of the amount of his 1971 contract for a high lifter. Remaley said he took the check to the Greensburg highway office. Later demands for more money were rejected, Remaley said.

Larry Rupnik of Delmont, who leased a salt spreader to the state in 1971 and 1972, said he had to contribute $135 to the Campaign '72 Committee and $125 to the Westmoreland County Democratic Workers Committee. Calling the payments "a shame," he- said he had no choice because he needed the work to pay off the cost of the spreader. Without a contribution, "you probably won't pay for your truck," he said he was told. A group of leasers tried to band together "to see if we could slop it before anybody else paid." Bui the attempt failed, he said. Walter Seigfried a retired equipment leaser, said he was told to pay 3 per cent of his revenues from state work in the county.

He paid $525, he said. The Gleason committee is not the first group to look into the allegations. The state attorney general, auditor general and the Westmoreland County district a have a completed i vestigations. However, a of the witnesses Wednesday said they were never contacted by nor tried to approach the other inquiries. WASHINGTON (AP) A deft use of persuasion, or jawboning, stands so far as President Ford's ultimate weapon in keeping the lid on inflationary wage and price hikes.

And in its first use of the technique, the Ford White House has revealed its brand of jawboning is low-key and devoid of threats. "I used to jawboning meant just using threats or inducements to make people do what you think they should do," said Kenneth Rush, the White House counselor who was instrumental in getting General Motors to trim by $54 the average increase of about $500 per car it had proposed for 1975 models: Mail Hcluriicd On Charges After being returned here yesterday from Rockville, James A.
