role as an NBC official could look
'em over, too.
One comedy team recently saw
one of their routines on Berle's
show before they had a chance to
do it on their own program. It
could be coincidence, but knowing
Milty's reputation as a quick man
with gag, they are inclined to
think 1t was more than Just the
tickle finger of fate.

The newsreel companies are ex-
Ipected to spend lot less film foot
age on Pasadena's famed Rose
Parade this year. because for the
first time the New Years Day
Spectacle will be microwaved to
network stations around the
country for full hour by NBC.
One of the unique angles Of the
parade telecast will be the spon-
sor-a national five-and-d dime
store chain which has never be-
fore advertised on either radio or
TV in its long history.
That real-life feud existing be-
tween Cecil the Seasick Serpent
and the Time for Beany" crea-
tor, Bob Clampett, has temporarily
turned into just an occasional ex-
change of dirty looks.
Stan Freberg. who manipulates
and speaks for Cecil, has been
trying to get out of his contract
with Beany, but has given up, at
least until after renewal time for
the sponsors next month.
If Freberg does walk out on
Beany. Clampett may have a
tough time finding someone to fill
Cecil's long neck.

HOLLYWOOD.

dO1LLI WOOD.
TV pilot films" are rapidly
reaching the status of a standing
gag around Hollywood these days.
A seasoned performer. who used
to alibi his not being on video by
saying he was waiting for the
medium to grow up, now tells the
crowd of backbiters around the
Vine street Brown Derby that he
has just completed a pilot film .
This is a film which the talent
agency or TV station shoots of
la new show. and then shows
around to ad agencies and spon-
sors in the hope that they will
decide to buy the show and put it
on the air.
A Vine street wag recently made
the comment that If all the pilot
films residing idly in cans on
Hollywood shelves were strung
together, it would take the next
IlVe years 10 run them all OH on
ITV.
The pilots will continue to be
made. however. because TV net
works have decided it's too ex-
Ipensiye to put a new shoe on the
air and then try to sell it. And by
the same token, sponsors refuse
to buy TV show now until they
have seen it.
Some Of MICS TV comics are
beginning to complain about Mil
ton Berle's dual role as an execu-
tive and the star of his own pro-
gram.
Their squawks revolve around
the fact that they must submit

Eisenhower Can't GET
Nomination Unless He
Tries, Ferguson Says
By jock Bell
Assoeiotsd Press Sioff Writer

Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan said today he doesn't
think Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
can get the 1852 Republican
presidential nomination unless he
seeks it openly.
The Michigan Senator. who
hasn't taken sides in the presi-
dental contest. told reporters he
has the impression that Gen.
Eisenhower would be available
but doesn't believe that is enough
"I think Eisenhower would ac-
cept the nomination but I don't
believe he can get it without run
ming for it." Senator Ferguson
commented. Asked who the
nominee would be in that case,
he replied: Senator Taft"
Doubt Truman to Run.
Meanwhile the probability that
President Truman will not run
again was voiced at Little Rock.
Ark, yesterday by Democratic
Cows. Johnston Murray of Okla
homa and Allan Shivers of Texas.
Senator Murray said he thinks
Oklahoma will remain Democratic
in next years election, in any
event. Asked whether Gen. Eisen-
hover might carry the State on
the Republican ticket he replied
that "the majority of our people
like administrators, not generals. |"
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Arkansas said he isn't going to sup
port the Democratic platform if it
approves of "socialistic" measures
which President Truman has ad-
vocated. He listed the Brannan
farm plan, compulsory health in
surance and Fair Employmens
Practices Commission proposals
as among these.
Tennessee Talks Macarthur.
Republicans in Tennessee talked
about naming Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur (whose wife is a Tennes-
seam as a delegate to their ma
tional convention. Gen. MacAr-
thurs name may be entered in
some primaries as a candidate for
the. presidential nomination al
though he has said he isn't run
ming and has no political ambi-
tionS.
Senator Ferguson told reporters
he would be willing" to take over
the job as minority leader of the
Senate if it should come his way.
The job, vacated by the death of
Senator Wherry of Nebraska. will
be filled by vote of all Republi-
can Senators, probably early in
January.

victed of involuntary manslaugh-
ter in the fatal stabbing of her
Negro husband has rejected a pro-
posal of marriage from one OF
the jurors who tried her.
Mrs. Jackson, mother Of three

threatened to kill her. He died
Of chest wound.
Judge Joseph L. Kuhn. deferring

vlctlon, said he would consider
releasing Mrs. Jackson under pa
role providing she would return
to France. Mr.. Jackson married
his wife in 1945 while with the
Army in France.
The judge told Mrs. Jackson s
attorney he would not interfere
if she chose to accept the Juror S
proposal.

The latest in the cast Of
characters brought up for the

loud speaker system a workout
which isn't likely to be matched
for some time to come.

strong contrast to the testimony
OF previous witnesses.
There was. for example, the

calmly. his voice rolled around
the walls of the huge hearing
room yesterday and into the cor
ridors beyond. When he got mad
brother!
AT one point his lips almost
touched the microphone as he
leaned forward and exploded the
flrst few words of his reply. The

settled back in his chair to begin
again.
At another time Counsel Bruno
Schachner was demanding to
know whether Knoll was in the
gambling business.
Am I to assume" he asked
you never were in the gambling
business?"
Knoll exploded:
Never in my life. And that's
a lie"
Counsel Joins in Laughter.
