Milton BerIe Is a Cogey Man
When Talking of Contracts
By Harry Macarthur

Milton Berle, even his severest
critics always have to admit, is
wise in the ways of show business.
It develops that he is a cagey
man when negotiating a contract,
as well as when putting show to-
gether.
In town during the week for
the Kfar Truman dinner at the
Mayhower. Mr.. Berle was talking
in the living room of his suite
about the pact which may con-
troll his future. He was not di-
vulging details, but it would be a
long-term deal-say 80 years
making him an NBC exclusive
for both radio and television. It
would ban guest appearances on
other networks. such as the re-
cent one on Sam Levenson's CHS
show.
The impression MI. Berle gave
was that this was at the stage
where only the formality of sig
natures on a contract remained.
Later. the comic was talking
with an NBC executive. I guess
I'll be leaving soon, Berle told
him, to go over to CHS.
There is no truth, incidentally,
in the story that he would soon
cut his schedule down to a show
every two weeks.
"Just a rumor put oW by other
comedians" he said. did you
hear about the letter Eddie Can
tor got. I didn't see it. but !
heard about it. 1t said, Dear
Mr.. Cantor: Your television show
is terrific. don't see how you
can do it month after month. F."
The Pen Is Miohtier
Than the TV Survey
There are some people. if this
proximity to Mr.. Berle will not
embarrass him, who think surveys
do not necessarily prove what en-
tertainment people want. They
might prove what people listen to
or watch in preference to other
things available. but that is some
thing else again.
One of the dissenters in the sur
vey matter is Mrs. A. Kenneth
Spencer. TV-radio chairman of
the Altadena (CalifD Parent
Teacher Association. She made
her views known recently out
there at a panel discussion of tele-
visions effects on children. Her
advice is sound.
You can have your Hoopers, !"
she said. II believe they are
meaningless. How many of you
ever have been called by a sur
vey?" A dozen hands were raised
in the audience of 800. And how
many of you have been called
by television survey?" No show
of hands this time.
WELL" she went on. "how many
Of you have ever written a letter
to a station or network. praising
or condemning some program"
One hand went up.

$500 Million Seaway Plan
BY the Associated Press

OTTAWA, Dec. 13.-The st.
Lawrence Seaway-a 27-foot deep.
$500 million canal on the Cana
dian-American border that would
open the Great Lakes to ocean
shipping-won final approval last
night from Canada's House Of
Commons.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where passage is regarded as a
formality. Both major parties
the ruling Liberals and the oppo-
sition Progressive-C Conservatives
backed the bill in the House.
Under the bill, crown company
will be set up to go ahead with
building the seaway even If the
United States does not cooperate.
The government hopes to have
the job going by 1853.
Canada and the United States
signed an agreement in 1941 for
joint development of the canal
and hydro-electric power. Con-
gresS has refused in almost every
session since to ratify the pact.
The House of Representatives
Public Works Committee shelved
the latest bill two months ago. but
renewed efforts for United States
ratification are expected in the

To Solve Race Issues,
Yale Dean Declares
BY the Assoeiot.d Pres.

BUCK HILL FALLS. Pa. Dec
13.-Churches have a lot of house
cleaning to do before they can cal
themselves truly Christian with re-
gard to the question of segrega-
ton. the dean of the Yale Divinity
School says.
DR.. Liston P. Pope told a joint
session of the divisions of home
missions and Christian life and
work of the National Council OF
Churches of Christ in the U. S. A
yesterday:

TO our neighbors at home has be-
come as important for the outcome
as what We do to our enemies
abroad"
He said the Nation must realize
quickly that RuSsia's proclama-
tion of racial equality can be COM
batted only by a better demon
stration of that equality here than
In Russia.
Russian Successes Cited.
He said Russia "haS already all
but succeeded in convincing non
white peoples that she is their
champion against the Imperialism
and chauvinism of the Western
powers. If Asia and Africa are
totally alienated from the Western
nations, we shall have lost a major
part of our struggle with Russia. -
DR.. Pope said race relations have
improved in the United States, but
that religious groups have con-
tinued segregation to far greater
degree than have other types of
organizations.
He said that less than 1 per cent
of Christian congregations in the
United States have persons from
more than one racial group and
that the congregations are more
segregated than in industry. COM
merce, education. politics or sports.
Warn Against Hypocrisy.
DR.. Pope said the choice must
be between racial segregation on
the one hand and the findings of
science. democracy and Chris
tianity on the other. and if a
decision for the latter is much
longer delayed, ''the greatest
truths and faiths of our civiliza-
tion must be rejected as error or
hypocrisy"
