(CP Wirephoto) Edward Murrow Sparked Career Of Leiterman TORONTO (CP) -- Douglas Leiterman, 39,. lean, quiet ex- ecutive producer of This Hour Has Seven Days, got into tele- vision partly because of an in- terview between the late Sen-) ator Joseph McCarthy and the late Edward R. Murrow "In 1953, McCarthy just about) had the country by the neck," he said in an interview. "Then Murraw, in 30- minute television program, fin- ished McCarthy, showed could be laughed at and 1 futed. This convinced me of the immense value and strength of the television medium. Nobody; else has been able to do the job." Son of a South Porcupine, Ont., accountant and an eco-| nomics graduate of the Univer- sity of British Columbia, Mr. Leiterman found journalism "got in my blood' when he worked nights at the Vancouver Province while attending col- lege.

Mr. Leiterman spent three years with Southam News Serv- ices in the Ottawa Press Gal- lery. He was working part-time for Time magazine when, in 1957, he received an offer from the CBC. "There Was a memorable two lunch day, first with the Time people and then the CBC." He chose the CBC offer to join Close-Up, a public affairs tele- vision program developed by Ross McLean During: his first year, he con centrated on producing docu- mentaries, including studies of Louis St, Laurent, MacKenzie King, Richard Nixon and An- thony Eden. Later he conceived and de veloped Document and produced documentaries on India, Europe and the southern United States He won the CBC's Wilderness award for TV journalism in 1964 with a documentaryv.en racial conflict--One More River. one he e- ( 94 SIMCOE ST.

The program will return next season but, unless there is a complete reversal by CBC man- agement, it will not have co- hosts Patrick Watson and Lau- rier LaPierre, and maybe even executive producer Douglas Lei- terman. "Seven Days will be back," CBC President J. Alphonse Ouimet said on the TV program News Magazine Tuesday night.

Mr. Bryden said almost a month had passed since he read! two letters into the record which purported to show that a Con- servative party fund-raiser had received money from Melchers' Distilleries Ltd. in return for promised favors. "Why is the prime minister (Mr. Robarts) taking so long to consider this matter' Mr. Bry- den asked. He said Mr. Robarts had a:duty to make a statement on the matter.
