By Harry Macarthur

AIternative-This departments
continuing study of the 8-to-9
hour on Tuesday night has come
up with still another alternative
to Milton Berle. In the past those
who do not feel that MICS ''Mr.
Television" represents the ulti-I
mate pinacle of Tv art have been
advised that they can (a) watch
Whats The Story?" and Keep
Posted" on WTTG, (b) watch
Charlie Wild" and "Ecslcating
Your Child" on WMAL-TV, icy
watch Frank Sinatra on WTOP-
TV, (d) listen to the radio, (e)i
talk to their mates, tf) read good
book, (g) attend lodge meetings,
(h) 60 out and play cards with
the boys, Cd teach old dogs new
tricks, or even Cd read the eye-
ming paper and find out what's
going on in the world.
All is not lost on Tuesday night
at 8 and now a mar who keeps
close track of the departments
continuing studies reports that his
wife has discovered still another
way not to watch Milton Berle.
She tunes in the Frank SinatraI
show. then turns the sound off and
reads the paper. Every now and
then she looks up at the screen
and says, IT wonder what he's
talking about now"
So far she's never been curious
enough to walk across the room,
twist knob and find out. Gets~a al
lot Of reading done.

Decline - Younger generations
are always being sighed over by
their elders, who are sure the
younger generations are headed for
ruination. The race has persisted
to disprove this theory. but there
is evidence today that THIS
younger generation may really be-
In for it.
There's new recording Of Cole
Porter'S old hit. II Can't GetI

given a play by the disc jockeys.
The line that used to read "Greta

out AVA Gardner asks about me" u
Now, Mrs. Sinatra may be a NICE
girl and even glamorous. but the
generation which tries to replace
Garbo with her is not to be trusted

FROM HOLLYWOOD
By Bob Thomos
Assoeiated Press staff Writer


Sour-faced Comedian Fred
Allen, here for a movie stint,
paused long enough to level blast
at his favorite target-vice presi-
dents.
Allen has long been q critic of
the executive mind. particularly in
the air networks and advertising
agencies. He hlames such bigwigs
for television's failings. including
his own.
MY shows have been pretty
bad" he admitted openly, except
the last one. The reason is that
until now I had been doing what
everybody else said I was supposed
to do. But on the last one, dis
regarded their advice and did the
kind Of show I wanted. The
sponsor was dropping the series
anyway, so what did I have to
lose?
These executives have a lot of
screwy notions about TV. They
say everything has to have move
ment. Even If you're standing still
and doing monologue, there has
to be two guys running around
behind you.
After all, entertainment Is en-
tertainment, whether you're run
ming a race or standing still. But
you can't convince executives of
that. I've always thought that the
meeting Of executive minds pro-
duced the quintessence of
nothing"
The Boston comic has had many
a run-in with executives. It
started back with his first air
show. The wife of one of the
sponsors liked organ music.
1--WE were trying to put on a.
snappy show" recalled Allen, "but|
we had to stop in the middle Of It'll
to switch the New York Para
mount for two minutes of organ
music"
He believes that the advertisers
influence in TV has produced al
bad effect, "just as it did In radio"
"The TV performer has the
same Importance as the label on
a can," he argued. '"The show it
self is not important; it's whether
the show can sell the product.
81 think it's bad in any medium
Evening star., 1951-12-20

when the entertainment quality
is not the important thing. A
discriminating audience has cer-
tainly helped the movie business.
Pictures had to get better. be-
cause people found out they could
eat popcorn right out in the open;
they didn't have to 60 in darkened
theaters to do it"
Allen is here to play a Tv per-
former In q sequence of. Were
Not Married" / asked him If he
planned any more pictures.
mo-" he replied. II was never
any good In pictures, and I never
really had pictures written for
me. I did my first one because they
couldn't get Ned Sparks. did
another because they liked the
first one. Then I did one with Jack
Benny because we were supposed
to be fighting on the radio.
Besides, I'm tied down to an
exclusive deal with NBC. They
won't let me work for any other
network. Even when I'm not
working, I'm not working for
NBC."
I remarked that he was looking
amazingly well for Allen.
1--WE ben on a diet for two
years because of my high blood
pressure" he explained. II can't
eat anything with salt. In fact,
I can't even return to New York
by way Of Salt Lake City when ]
go back; that's how strict it is.
"I had to give up drinking and
smoking, too. At my age (57).
I'm not allowed any pleasures.
Why do I work? Just for the con-
venience Of the Treasury Depart
mert."

Posi- Office Needs
1000 for Part-Time
Christmas Work

No one thinks much about the
poor plodding postman who car
ries the Christmas mail through
snow and rain and sleet.
But, as usual, he's tramping
along without enough help this
year.
The Post Office Department In
the District announced yesterday
it needs a minimum of 1000 ad-
ditional part-time workers to take
care of the predicted heaviest
Christmas mail load in history
To emphasize the desperate need
for help. it has even lowered the
age limit from 18 to II years for
the first time since the last war.
Assistant Postmaster for the
District w. Gordon Bell says the
department had 5000 extra
bonded employees here last year
but that this year it has been
able to sign up only 5000.
$50 Extra Trucks Needed.
In addition, 1t wants to put on
180 extra trucks to lug Christmas
parcels from door to door, with
100 extra drivers still needed. The
average mail carrier won't carry
more than the same 80 to 40
pound load when he leaves his
post office station, but he'll carry
the same load over his entire
route.
The big difference is that the
hundreds of Post Office trucks will
be leaving heavier loads in the
olive green deposit boxes along the
streets for the carrier to replenish
his burden.
The Post Office Department said
regular rural and city mail deliv-
cries will be suspended on Christ
mas Day to give as many en-
ployes time off as possible. How
ever, all special delivery and per-
|ishable mail, as we'll as late Christ
mas parcels, win be delivered.
But YOU won't be able to buy a
stamp this year on December Is.
All mail and window service will
be discontinued.
Plea on Parcel Wrapping.
The department issued a plea to
the public to wrap Christmas par
GELS properly, make the addresses
on all mail clear and to mail early.
Last year. the District Post Of
flee alone handled 159, ,301 incom-
ing sacks of parcel post mail, with
an average of 10 packages to each
sack. With letters and cards, the
number was 53,583,150.
Working on a round-the-clock
basis, the department here ex-
poets even more incoming mail
this year-on time, if it can get
those additional 1000 part-time
|employes.

Health Heads Favor
Limited Lockjaw
Shots as CD Measure

The Association Of State and
Territorial Health Officers today
declared that universal immuniza-
ton against lockjaw is imprac-
ticable as q civil defense measure
It recommended that States
with critical targets give serious
consideration to stockpiling anti
tetanus vaccine for limited use in
combating lockjaw. The Fedora.
Civil Defense Administration had
asked the association to inquire
into the feasibility of hnmunizing
all citizens.
The association. closing a four
day session at the Federal Secur-
ity Administration, said that,
while it indorses the principle Of
the usual immunization of chill
dren against tetanus. it does not
favor it for the whole population.
Other Needs More Important.
"The more important reasons
for this opinion are that priority
in civil defense planning must be
given to those types of casualties
most likely to occur, and that the
effort involved in such program
can be utilized for more urgent
activities in civil Defense" the as
declared.
The Federal Government was
urged by the association to adopt
a policy that "the costs incident
to the care Of any casualties re-
sulting from enemy attack is a
proper charge against the Federal
Government"
The association also advocated
that the FCDA be urged to pro-
vide each State with complete
f1rst-aid units consisting of all
equipment and supplies for train
ing purposes; that the FCDA set
up specifications for standard
types of hospital units; the FCDA
purchase hospital and medical
supplies and stockpile them on a
regional basis so they would be
available within four hours after
an attack and that additional
funds be given FCDA to buy sup
plies for first-aid stations and
hospitals and for other hospital,
medical, health and sanitation
functions of civil defense.
Urges Help to States.
Further, the association recon-
mended that FCDA supply each
State having a critical target
area with one or more units of a
high speed portable x-ray unit Sc
that hospital groups can be
trained in its use and assembly
The association recommended that
each State civil defense agency
utilize the professional training
Of dentists. veterinarians and
other professional health person
mel to the fullest extent possible
Federal agencies were urged to
give the States all information
necessary to prepare for defense
against biological warfare and
chemical warfare.
In cooperation with other
proper Federal agencies, the as
ISOLATION recommended that FCDA
continue to develop as rapidly as
possible specifications and policies
bearing on the use of radiological-
measuring instruments for defense
against enemy weapons.
