News of Video and Radio
Godfrey Switch to Television
Is Sad News for Movie Folk
By Harry Macarthur.

There is some sad news for the
movie people this week. Many OF
them have continued to display
public bravado in the face of tele-
vision, but it has been privately
admitted that Milton Berle on
Tuesday nights and Ed Sullivan
and the "Television Playhouse" on
Sunday nights have q noticeably
depressing effect on motion picture
box offices. The sad news for the
photoplay folk now is that Arthur
Godfrey has brought his Talent
Scouts" show to television.
Mr.. Godfrey is a man to keep the
family at home in the living room
on Monday nights when he Is be-
fore the video cameras.
The Godfrey personality comes
bubbling off the picture tube. 1t
shouldn't take him long to become
q top-flight performer IN the new
medium, as he has become in radio
He brings it all those qualities
which have made him unique as q
radio humorist and he has the face
and the visual comic manner to
match the voice.
1t is a little hard to realize, but
Mr.. Godfrey has been just q voice
to a number OF people who haven't
known that a wide range of humor-
Gus expressions always match his
words. The new simultaneous broad
cast of Talent Scouts" (WMAL-
Tv, WTOP-Monday, $50 pmo
lets a lot of his admirers know, and
take advantage of the fact, that
he is funny to look at as well as
to hear.
Emcee Carries the Show.

plating a commercial is a. sight tc

than Is unctuous annoNncers could

Talent Scouts" This, like the Mil
ton Berle show and unlike other
vtdeo vaudeville revues, is an en-
tertainment that depends far less
on its entertainers than on It's mas
ter Of ceremonies. If the partic-
ipants are good or mere stage waits
hardly matters, as long as there l.
Godfrey for the cameras to come
back to.
Mr.. Godfrey could, however, make
even better use of the new medium
A veteran Of radio, he works to the
microphone, and, on this show, to
the studio audience. Turning the
cameras on this takes home viewers
into the studio audience all right
but it is not the best television. II
allows passive rather than active
enjoyment. That old movie warm
ing about not looking at the camera
is something a lot Of video per-
formers should forget. Certainly
one who works on the intimate basis
that Godfrey does is one Of them.
If he were to spend more time
talking directly to that camera, he'd
be talking not for a mass audience
but to each individual viewer sit
ting there at home looking back at
him. Whether or not he agrees
with this theory, he'll still be around
Monday nights.

Investigate Death Of Former State
 Department Expert

NEW YORK, tP)-Mayor Will liam O'DWyer has directed New York police to make a thorough Investigation" of the mysterious death of Laurence Duggan.
 The mayor acted after receiving telegram from former under secretary of state Sumner Welles, who said he was convinced the death O fthe one-time state de- partment expert was not suicide.
 Duggan plunged to his death Monday night from his 18th floor office just off Fifth Avenue.
 The police will seek to find out whether he committed suicide, was the victim of an accident as his relatives maintain, or was the object of foul play.
 The suggestion that foul play" had figured in the plunge was made by acting chairman Karl Mundt R.-S. D. of the House un- American Activities committee.
 The committee earlier had re- leased testimony mixing Duggan to a pr-war communist group in the state department.
 Mundt had said there was more than a slight possibility of foul play" that might lead directly to the communist espionage conspir- ators." Later. he said, he had nc evidence of his own to support his suspicious.
 Ex-communist courier Whitta- ker Chambers, who purportedly once accused Duggan of giving him confidential government pa pers, denied he ever made such an accusation.
 The FBI disclosed that 10 days ago it questioned Duggan, but added, without elaborating, that he questioning was merely "rou- tine" WelleS and two other former high ranking state department of ficials strongly defended Duggan's , record of fl years service in the state department.

FORT RICHARDSON, - Re- serve Officers of the Army who are not currently engaged in Re serve activities will have until January 1, 1949 before being au- tomatically transferred to the In- active Reserve, it has been an nounced by the Department of the Army.
 Last spring, Gen. Omar N. Brad ley, the Chief of Staff, dispatched queStionnaire to all Army Re- serve Officers. About forty per cent of the officers receiving this failed to answer or otherwise in- dicate a preference for transfer to the Inactive Reserve, where they would have no military duties or responsibilities, except in time of war.
 To protect their active Reserve status the many Reserve Officers in Alaska should contact Head quarters, United States Army, Alaska. Officers of the Inactive Reserve are subject to call to ac- tive duty in a national emergency during the life of their commits sion, but are not eligible for pro- motion, drill pay or retirement 1 benefits.
