By Brainard Piatt Journal Herald Butlnoss Editor John A. Kemper Jr. has resigned as a director and chairman of Kittyhawk Television which learned yesterday its ABC network affiliation is being cancelled. Louis Goldman, Kittyhawk attorney and secretary, confirmed that Kemper and Phil Little, treasurer and assistant secretary, have tendered their resignations. He said Joseph McMahon, a director and New York consultant, also is expected to resign.

He could not confirm whether McMahon's resignation already has been submitted. Efforts to reach all three men last night were unsuccessful. THE NETWORK action fol-lowed the arraignment last week of Thomas Sullivan a former ABC representative, on a charge of soliciting a $50,000 bribe from Kemper to assure that Kittyhawk (WKTR -T Channel 16) would get the network contract instead of Channel 22 (WKEF-TV) Goldman said the resignation of Kemper, the largest single stockholder in WKTR-TV, also has agreed not to vote his stock in the corporation until a final determination is made in the matter. Richard L. Beeseniyer, ABC vice president for affiliate relations, sent Channels 16 and 22 telegrams advising they will be invited to submit new presentations for network affiliation.

The telegram said that pursuant to its contract with Kittyhawk, dated last Nov. 21, ABC intends to terminate its affiliation agreement at 3 a.m. Aug. 30. "You are further notified that Kittyhawk Television Corp.

and Springfield Television Broad-casting Corp. (22) are being invited to submit: new presentations respecting future affiliation with ABC in the Dayton-Kettering market, and that a new evaluation of the companies will be made."

John A. Kemper Jr. GOLDMAN ISSUED a statement dn which he said "this course of action is normal under the circumstances and WKTR is confident it will retain its network affiliation. "ABC chose WKTR because of superior facilities, better management, good public service programming and local ownership. These factors are just as evident today as they were when the original application decision was made.

"Channel 16 is owned by approximately 165 prominent local people. Its primary aim is to give the viewing audience the best television programming available and it has pledged to do everything in its power to continue this." Springfield Television also received a telegram and its president, William L. Putnam, said, "We have received the message and are studying it to determine what it really means in light of the present litigation and recent developments."
