Mrs. Gloria Hall, of Community Broadcast Commu- nications, (CBC-TV), said the attack on her testimony, before a state legislative committee about local bidding pressures for cable franchises, "intimidates the lawmaking process." "If private citizens and,1 or, business people, are to be de- meaned for expressing their honest views in the atmosphere of open information-seeking legislative hearings," said Mrs. Hall, "then this type of forum will be short-lived." The Grand Jury held last week that Mrs. Hall's statement before the Assembly Committee on Transportation and Public Utilities was "unfounded." She told the legislative committee, according to the jury, she believed she lost two possible local franchises in Mon- mouth County after turning down requests for "money under the table."
