In addition to the contest among six contenders for the Democratic Presidential nomination, there is another scramble under way in Washington this summer involving high stakes and prominent people, and it has the added dimension of classical music. The other scramble is for ownership of radio station WGMS, a Washington institution that has been broadcasting Beethoven, Verdi and others for 37 years. There are 23 applicants for the station's license, now held by RKO General, whose ownership of WGMS and a dozen other stations is threatened by a possible license revocation by the Federal Communications Commission.

James Hamilton, a Washington lawyer who is special counsel to the House Subcommittee on Human Resources, voiced doubt about the effectiveness of using polygraph tests to clear up discrepancies in the accounts of James A. Baker 3d, the White House chief of staff, and William J. Casey, Director of Central Intelligence.
