"If I'd built it one-eighth of an inch bigger, I don't think we would have made it." 1 The American Broadcasting Co. has revoked its invitation to WKTR-TV (Channel 16) to bid for the network affiliation contract in light of new evidence uncovered during investigation of bribery charges.

Hoffman were also found in civil contempt by U.S. District Judge Ben Krentzman and fined $1,000 a day. All of the fines were to begin immediately unless the defendants can prove by certificate that they are in compliance with Krentzman's order by Monday. "The fun and games are over," said Al Butler, chief of field operations for the U.S. marshal's office as he and another marshal left for the state capital to serve the papers on Kirk.

MANATEE county Sheriff Richard W. Weitzenfeld was found in contempt also, but he was not fined because he swore under oath at a hearing Friday he would abide by the court's order. Krentzman ordered the volatile Kirk to "cease forthwith all resistance to and interference with the orders of this court." Kirk took command of the Manatee county school system: a week ago in defiance of Krentzman's desegregation order, which included widespread busing of s.

Nrentzman, in his order issued late Saturday, also restrained Kirk from any interruption or hindrance in the implementation of the desegregation plan. The Florida governor and his aides were ordered to take all steps necessary to insure the plan is carried out and were ordered to file with the court by Apr. 27 a preliminary report detailing the workings of the plan.

Sullivan was fired and charged in Manhattan Criminal court with soliciting a total of $50,000 from John A. Kemper who was then chairman of the board of Kittyhawk Television Corp. which operates Channel 16. Kemper resigned Feb. 23 along with Phil Little, treasurer and assistant secretary.

Since then the probe has spread, with the Federal Communications commission r-dering a secret investigation nationally to "determine whether bribery has been used to obtain network affiliations, and if so, to what extent and under what circumstances." ABC has suspended Carmine Patti, director of station relations, and accepted the resignation of Theodore H. Shaker, vice president in charge of ABC-owned stations. However, the network denies any link between Shaker and the affiliation probe. CHANNEL 22, owned by Springfield Broadcasting filed suit in December charging that ABC and Kitty-hawk "combined and conspired" to deny Channel 22 the contract. Greene Woman Slain; Police Withhold Identity day expressed complete surprise at the telegram from ABC saying they had already prepared their case for presentation this week to the network in New York City.

"We feel that the action taken by ABC is said Channel 16 President William Rhoades. "Our attorneys are considering what action might be taken in order to protect our employes and the public interest." ABC ALREADY HAS informed the station it will can-. eel the affiliation pact on Aug. 30 as a result of the bribery allegations. But the network had invited both Channel 16 and WKEF-TV (Channel 22) to make new presentations for the contract, later also inviting WSWO-TV (Channel 26) in Springfield to submit a bid.

The ABC telegram read: "ABC hereby revokes its invitation of Mar. 12, 1970, to you to make presentation for a new affiliation agreement in light of evidence developed during the pre-trial discovery proceedings in the Dayton litigation, the statement read into the record of that proceedings by your counsel on Apr. 9, 1970, and the investigation for ABC by Mr. Clarence Fried." Fried is a partner in a Wall Street law firm engaged by ABC to investigate the bribery charges. Fairborn Herr Rd.

Firing Uncle Arnie 9s Army Protests cat WW By DAVID EASTERLY Daily News Staff Writer Inland Mfg. Division general manager Tom Mathueshas 8,000 people working for him, but he did a pretty risky and dirty job imself last week. The Daily News called Mathues Thursday afternoon and told him that Wolf creek was running black with an industrial waste that was pouring from a city storm sewer in the 600 block of Western Ave.

City sources had said Inland dumps into that particular storm sewer. MATHUES gathered up a gallon jug and his production engineering chief Carl Reidmiller and went to the storm sewer outlet. The two men scaled down a 20-foot embankement thich is thickly covered with trees, exposed roots and bushes. Mathues says he nearly fell in the polluted stream at one point, but finally accomplished his goal. He filled his jug with polluted water and climbed out of the creek bed.

BY 6 P.M. Matthews was knocking on the door at the home of his chief chemist. The chemist was given the jug of black water and ordered back to the plant to analyze the contents. The next day Matthews had a report on his desk a report which pointed an accusing finger at Inland. Three particular industrial wastes were identified by analysis.

And Matthews confessed that "all are materials we use in our plant." IDENTIFIED in the water sample were: A hydrocarbon known by the scientific name of polybutene and by the trade name of Oronite. Particles of rubber known within the trade as SBR rubber. Microscopic particles of carbon black.

It happened at radio station WBZI, which is in a small converted frame home in front of a barn on the edge of town.

It was quite a vocal fracas, with overtones of levity. The women from Dayton, Fairborn, Bellbrook, Cedar-vjlle and Jamestown brought their children with them, and, armed with home-made signs, marched in the chilly spring weather chanting, "We want Uncle Arnie back."
