The Serpent Mound earthworks
near Chillicothe is one of Ohio's
most curious tourist attractions.
Many, many years ago, prehis-
toric indians built this largest and
most famous effigy mound in
America. Scattered through Ohio
are many similar mounds and
earthworks which were once
erected for religious, living, burial
and defense purposes. These have
been preserved by the Ohio State

CHICAGO, July 24.-Stage
managing television's convention
show for the combined networks
and an audience of about 65 mil
lion Americans is hard work. But
it's fun.
Part of the fun consists in
never knowing in advance pre-
cisely what actors are going to
take part, where they will appear
and what their lines will be. But
lit requires skill and experience to
put them on the television stage
at the right time and, when in
terest waneS. to give them the
hook and yank them off.
The TV stage manager this
year is Robert Doyle Of Washing
ton, 3l-year-old son of Dean
Henry Grattan Doyle of George
Washington University and Mrs.
Doyle. Member of the American
Broadcasting Co.'S staff, he was
the unanimous choice of the tele-
vision networks for the job.
Managed Big Stories.
He's generally regarded as the
best in a new business, and his
reputation was gained by thesway
he had handled other big tele-
vision stories-the Inauguration
of President Truman, the return
of Gen. Macarthur and, especially,
the Kefauver crime hearings.
[ Under the television pool set-up,
everything that goes on the net
works from the convention floor
itself is selected by Mr.. Doyle. He
! sits on a high stool in the tele-
vision pool, located in the north
wing of the big convention hall.
He watches long panel in front
of him, on which there are eight
different pictures from the eight
television cameras located in
various parts of the hall. Above
the panel is big picture-select-
ed by Mr.. Doyle from the eight in
front of him as the one to go on
the networks.
Besides him sits a man in front
of a switchboard, which controls
the picture selection.
Light Touch Important.
"Stand by. No. g." says Mr.
Doyle. No. 8 camera has picked
up a lady in the gallery who is
taking a quiet nap. Down goes
Mr.. Doyle's hand, and her picture
flashes on millions of television
sets around the country. For a
few seconds it provides a light
touch of comedy relief and human
interest.
But No. 8 can't stay there long.
For that would break the con-
tinuity of the lines being delivered
by the star performer of the mo-
ment-the man on the speaker S
roStrum.
Stand by, No. g." says Mr.. Doyle
From the written script in front
of him, Mr.. Doyle knows that in a
few seconds the speaker will men
ton somebody in the California
delegation and there will be brief
demonstration. No. rs camera is
watching California. At the pre-
else second that the demonStra-

uses Sees Job Abundance
When Steel Strike Ends

When the steel strike ends,
employers will need to begin a
recruiting campaign outside the
Washington area to find workers
for the jobs that will be available,
the United States Employment
Service predicted today.
The USES said many firms here
have put off expansion plans and
have not filled vacancies during
the steel strike. The strike, how
ever, has not caused the layoffs
here that had been predicted.
Employers will face another re-
cruiting problem early in Sep
tember, when high school and
college students leave their sum-
mer jobs and go back to school.
The USES said June set a post
war record for employment in the
Washington area. There were
626, 500 people at work here. up
4 200 over May. But the Federal
Government reported a reduction
in jobs-the seventh month in
the last IL that this has been true.

single person and $4,000 for
a married one. Employees are
given credit for State income
taxes paid in other States, and II
the amount is greater than that
levied by Maryland. they must pay
no additional taxes. Also, II the
taxpayer owes Maryland more
than he has paid to the other
Jurisdiction, he would have to pay
Maryland the difference.
The American Federation OF
Government Employees has at
tackled such a move, declaring it
is unfair and discriminating
against Federal workers who work
in Maryland but who live else
where. The union is prepared to
make a legal fight of it.
Meanwhile, Maryland is consid-
ering still another way of collect
ing State income taxes from Fed
eral workers who work but do not
reside there.
Last week, President Truman
signed a law to permit the Federal
Government to enter into a with
holding arrangement for Federal
employees with States having
general withholding law. Only a
few States have such laws now
Maryland does not. But now there
is talk among Maryland officials
of having the Legislature enact
such a law next year, so the Fed
eral Government would deduct
the taxes from Federal employees
working in Maryland.

Bombing Cant Match
Effect Of Steel Strike,
Defense Chief Says
BY John A. Giles

Between 20 and 80 per cent of
expected arms production for this
year will be lost because of the
steel stoppage.
And even if the strike were set
tied today, Defense Secretary Low
ett asserts, a year from now mill
tary leaders will still be busy ex-
planning why production schedules
can not be met as a result of the
lack of steel now.
Mr.. Lovett, in a grim mood as
he faced a Pentagon news confer
ence yesterday afternoon, said he
was acting at President Truman's
direction in giving out as many
details as possible of the strikes

"It is a tragic thing we have

else or suicide by ourselves, the
effect is the same.
June Production Small.
Military requirements run be-
tween 850.000 and l million tons
a month, he explained. But June
production from non-struck plants
was only about 10000 tons and
another $4,000 tons Of finished
steel came from closed mills and
warehouses.

Accident Victim Dies
OF Heat Exhaustion at
Alexandra Hospital

A 59-year-old Commerce De-
partment guard, under treatment
in Alexandria Hospital for traffic
injuries, died there yesterday of
heat exhaustion.
He was Levi S. Allen, 718 Queen
street, Alexandria, a General
Services Administration employe
for 18 years.
Hospital officials said Mr.. Allen
had been recovering from the
traffic injuries and was scheduled
for release today. But Tuesday
night he suffered an attack Of
heat exhaustion.
Physicians placed him in an
oxygen tent and treated him with
ice packs, but he failed to respond
to the treatment.
Injured Thursday.
Mr.. Allen was struck by a car
at $50 pm. last Thursday at
Fourteenth street and ConStitu-
ton avenue NV. He first was
taken to Emergency Hospital and
released after treatment for a
broken collar bone.
The following day he COM
planned of other pains, and was
taken to Alexandria Hospital,
where X-rays revealed that several
ribs were fractured. Emergency
Hospital sources said apparently
the rib fractures remained unde-
tected because since Mr.. Allen
complained of no pain in that
area, X-rays were not taken.
There was no record of how high
the temperature in the hospital
was Tuesday night when Mr.. Allen
suffered his attack. but one doctor
said it was pretty hot"
Funeral Services Tomorrow.
Mr.. Allen served overseas with
the Army's Both Infantry Division
during World War 1. He was a

taking vacations this month.
Many Offices have a near deserted
look.
There are two reasons for the
situation. One is the new leave
law requiring Federal workers to
use their 1852 annual leave by
next June 80 or else lose the un-
used portion. Consequently. en-
ployes are taking a lot of their
leave now so that they won't lose
any by the June 80 deadline,
The second reason for the wide
spread use of leave this month
is the record-breaking heat wave
in Washington. The beaches and
the mountain resorts are mighty
alluring places at this time of
year.

NPA-Local No. ! of the CIO
Government Workers Union has
asked the National Production
Authority to give the $40 employees
there who will be dismissed one
year furlough.
The union declared this fur
lough Qeave without pay would
mean a great deal to these en-
ployes, since it would prevent a
break in their service and a dis
ruption of their seniority and re-
tention rights. It would make it
easier for these employees in seek
ing new jobs.
1t was pointed out that the
Office of Price Sterilization, an
other agency hard-hit by budget
cuts. is giving one-year furloughs
to its $500 employees who are
