if Vw Federal Court Decision Takes Effect in 20 Days By TOM HOPKINS, Daily News Television Editor A federal judge in Cincinnati has granted a temporary injunction which takes ABC programming away from WKTR-TV (Channel 16) and hands it back to KEF-TV (Channel 22).

Gamble U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Hogan granted the request Springfield Broadcasting which ovns Channel 22, for a return to the "status quo" that existed before the American Broadcasting Co. gave its primary affiliation contract on Jan. 1 to Channel 16, owned by i 1 1 a Broadcasting Corp.

"There is no question," said Hogan in his decision "that before the award of the affiliation was announced, the president of Kittyhawk knew that he was in a commercial bribery situation and McMahon did also." He referred to John A. Kemper who resigned as president and board chairman of Kittyhawk, and Joseph Mc- to The Daily News by Chorles DeMorco could have been connected with the Teamster strike. Ohio National Guard troops got their first taste of action Thursday in Cleveland, and also were deployed in Akron and Canton, two other cities hit by violence in the nearly month-old wildcat Teamster strikes. Meanwhile, Robert E.

Informed of the judge's decision this morning, Kittyhawk attorney Asher Bogin said, "I would expect that we would appeal it." Unless an appeal is granted, Channel 22 will regain ABC programming within 20 days. Hogan ordered that "within 10 days" ABC and Channel 22 return to the prior status of programming and that the 10-day period be extended an additional 10 days if an appeal is filed. The order does not prohibit ABC from affiliating later with any a i including Channel 16.

But the network has revoked its pact with that UHF station and refused to listen to a new presentation by Channel 16 for affiliation. THE NEW programming situation remains unclear because Channel 22 had been carrying about 70 per cent of the ABC programs and WLWD (C a 1 2) the remainder prior to Jan. 1. Some of the programs are no longer on the air and ABC has added some new shows. Reaction of Channel 2 to the program switch is unclear, and Channel 22 officials were mum today.

"The intent of this order," Hogan ruled, "is simply to return plaintiff to the status it had last December until such time as ABC makes a primary affiliation The new programming situation will prevail while the antitrust suit filed by Springfield is being argued. 1 22 has accused ABC and Kittyhawk of conspiring in restraint of trade to deny Channel 22 the affiliation. The judge rejected arguments of Kittyhawk that Springfield came into court "with unclean hands" because it solicited the aid of a congressman in an earlier attempt by ABC to purchase Kittyhawk and in the affiliation matter. "The plaintiff enlisted the help of a Massachusetts congressman in April of 1969 to stop the proposed ABC-Kitty-hawk purchase deal and again enlisted the help the same congressman in the fall of 1969 to use his influence with ABC on plaintiffs a 1 said Hogan. "FURTHERMORE, the defendant Kittyhawk claims that in connection with its presentation to ABC the plaintiff made a number of representations which were false.

"Bs ed on such, defense claims that the plaintiff came into court with unclean hands. The plaintiff is a Massachusetts corporation and we cannot say that the solicitation of the assistance of a congressman from the same state is to be criticized."

The i on intrigued sports writer Ben Garlikov and so he went out and polled the pros in the area. He found that the toughest 18, in their judgment, are spread across 10 different courses. Ben then asked a leading amateur player George Welsh, at Dayton's de-fending city champion to see how well he could play the toughest 18. And therein lies a story.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON l.D -Nixon administration strategists are gambling the U.S.-South Vietnamese offensive against long-secure North Vietnamese bases inside Cambodia may cripple Hanoi's ability to launch major attacks for months. They also are counting on the allied offensive to deter North Vietnamese troops from spreading their base areas deeper into weak Cambodia, supply route to the Gulf of Siam. WHITE HOUSE sources es-t i a it would take six weeks to two months to clean out key enemy sanctuaries. Then American and South Vietnamese ground troops are to be pulled back across the border.

THIS WOULD buy more time for the South Vietnamese army to get in shape to take over the ground fighting from the Americans so the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam may continue in safety. The American troops are seeking an elusive objective: the top command post for all Communist military and political activities in South Vietnam It is being hunted in the scrub 1 of Cambodia north of Vietnam's war Zone where the enemy has constructed thick-walled concrete bunkers linked by a maze of tunnels.

But the top enemy command post, known as the Central Office for South Vietnam, or COSVN, is only sometimes in that area. Since it was formed in the early 1960s, COSVN has been a mobile and dispersed headquarters. SENIOR Vietnamese officers say the command post was moved deeper into Cambodia a few days ago, apparently in anticipation of the American sweep. COSVN is responsible for both political affairs and Viet Cong military activities. The headquarters reports directly to officials in Hanoi by highly sophisticated radio communications.

The key leaders of COSVN at present are also members of the North Vietnamese Politburo, according to American specialists in Communist affairs. Aware of the mobile striking ability of the U.S. forces, the Communist high command has taken special precautions See DRIVE, Page 6 Senate Panel Summons Nixon WASHINGTON The Senate Foreign Relations committee voted unanimously today to request a meeting with President Nixon to discuss the implications of his decision to order American combat troops into Cambodia.

"We would like to discuss "the implications of the action," Fulbright said.

Fulbright called Mr. Nixon's move "a major expansion of the war, consistent with the policies we have been following for the past five years." But he adfed: "It is not con-. sistent with ending the war." OPPOSITION CAME also from former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, who said: "I cannot and do not support any escalation or expansion of the war." 11 HUtd 12 Reporter vs. Pro: A White Blur fW By GARY NUHN, Daily News Sports Writer I was at midcourt, and I didn't know any better.

THE PRESIDENT'S action, which he called necessary to protect U.S. fighting men already in Vietnam, drew both support and criticism in Congress and throughout the nation. Politically, some longtime Republican supporters of the Vietnam effort, fearing political disaster for the GOP, have joined Democratic critics of the war in opposing the new move. Fulbright's committe made its request in a letter which asked for a conference with the President "at his earliest convenience." Members said it was the first time the committee had made such a request to a president since 1919 when it met with President Woodrow Wilson during the controversy over the League of Nations.

"WE FELT THAT a meeting with the President every 50 years was not unreasonable." said Sen. D. Aiken of Vermont, the senior committee Republican. wusieiana ai me otner end.
