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.

The special counsel to a House subcommittee said today that the panel had yet to decide how to resolve conflicting accounts by two senior Administration officials over how Ronald Reagan's campaign obtained President Carter's political strategy papers in 1980. 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. Although the Federal Bureau of Investigation has not ruled out the use of the lie-detector tests later in its investigation, Mr. Hamilton said his experience with the device in other Congressional investigations had raised questions in his mind about its usefulness.
