On the Air:
This KiIIino
Was Really
Murder!
By Harry Macarthur

One Of the rules Of the movies
Production Code is that the actual
commission Of a murder never
shall be shown on the screen. It
is skirted so successfully that you
may think you have seen some
thing you never have seen. You
see the club raised and the dashed
victim. But you never see the
actual meeting of club and skull.
The Television Code, touching
on the same thing, says it this
way: The presentation of tech
niques of crime in such detail as
to invite imitation shall be
avoided"
Well, on the first chapter of
television's new Adventures of
Ellery Queen" (WMAL-TV-
Wednesday. 8 PM the camera
caught every detail of a murder
in cold blood. An actor playing
a hoodlum pulled out a gun and
waved it at woman who had just
offered to serve his breakfast. She
looked surprised, clutched herself
in appropriate places and keeled
over as if dead. The man with the
gun departed.
This was not, however a viola
ton of the TV Code. The sound
effects man made it too ludicrous
for that. The pantomime of the
firing Of the shots was accom-
panied by a mild double crack, like
the sound of a man rapping a
board with his knuckles. Least
convincing murder you ever saw.
Certainly not the kind Ito invite
imitation"
There may have been something
closer to lapse from code stand
ards in one of the "Ellery Queen"
commercials. Man offered to bet
the viewer a dollar that the cigar
he was peddling was milder than
any the viewer had ever smoked.
The code says: THE use Of gam
bling devices or scenes is
acceptable only when presented
E. in a manner which would not
excite interest in, or foster, bet
ting. :"

wasn't easy, in the face of that
'unconvincing murder to start
with, but the cast, headed by Lee
Bowman, made it q moderately
exciting whodunit.

IteleviSion programs, meaning it

ABROAD-Another newcomer in
the same classification is Dan

Tuesday. $50 PM. This, on
film, is obviously an attempt to
capture the spirit of Foreign
Intrigue" It is made in Holly
wood, however, and lacks the au-
Ithenticity of the Sheldon Reynolds
itelef1lms, made on location abroad.
Dangerous Assignment" does
manage to dredge up some excite
ment, though, in the confines of
the standard melodrama formal.
Brian Donlevy plays the leading
role, that of special agent of the
Government who is dispatched
on dangerous assignments. This
weeks was to go behind the Iron
Curtain in search of a man named
Sardov, who wanted to talk. Made
out all right, after several close
calls. which is only what you
would expect of Brian Donlevy.
Good man for this sort of thing.
He was fortunate, of course, on
this particular junket, to find that
everyone east of the Iron Curtain
spoke English. so his language
didn't give him away. This is
something which never makes life
easier for Jerome Thor in his
Foreign. Intrigue" adventures.
The accents of some of the people
surrounding Mr.. Thor occasionally
give the impression that somebody
is straining sauerkraut through
the microphone. You may not be
able to understand every word of
it, but 1t does make for anthem

HONEY PRICE SUPPORT

THE U. S. DEPARTMENT of
agriculture announced that honey
will be supported at a national aver
age price of LA cents per pound,
which is 20 percent of the current
parity price adjusted to the 6O-pound
container level In the 1851 season,
the national average support price
was 80 cents, or so percent of parity.
Prices for honey will be supported
through farm-storage and ware
house storage loans and by the offer
Of the Commodity Credit Corp. to
purchase honey delivered by pro-.
ducers under purchase agreements.
The 1852 honey price support pro-
gram will differ from the 1851 pro-
gram in that beekeepers or CO.
operative association of beekeepers
can apply for loans and purchase
agreements directly to county PIMA
offices, rather than sell their honey
to packers under contract with CCC.

Answer: The only thing I can

the pipe wrapped with an elec-
trio heating cable. Well-stocked
plumbing supply houses, also
electrical supply shops, should be
familiar with this type of equip
ment and be able to supply it.

ture trouble? Will it be improved

cement as a filler Of irregularities

in mind replacing the present
linoleum floor covering. If the

best to sand it down with a floor

Answer: If the woodwork was

of paint remover and bleach is
to use preparation known as

BY the Asseeiated Pres,

Televiewers who became bored
with the long hours of delegate
polling at the Democratic con-
vention last night can blame it
on the Democratic system per-
nitting fractional votes.
The Republicans give each of
their delegates one full vote. The
Democrats allow States to double
their basic allotment of delegates
at large and give each half vote,
District delegates get a full vote
Each congressional district gets
two delegates. Each State is given
q basic four delegates at large
or two for each Senator. This
means a State can have eight
delegates at large with half q
vote each.
But States that went Demo-
cratic in the last presidential elec.
ton get bonus of four more
delegates at large or eight with
half a vote each, making is in al
with eight votes.
Also, States electing members O
the House on Statewide basi
are given two delegates at larg,
for each such member, these tw,
may be doubled and given frac
tional votes.
So, the Democrats started ou

the National Guard to keep order.
Said Gov. Stevenson: Problems
in human relations can not be
solved by violence"
Despite his own intervention in
some local affairs, Gov. Stevenson
said:
"I think Government should be
as small in scope and as local in
character as possible"
Later. he hedged with this pro-
nouncement:
Il don't like subsidies. doles or
interference with free markets,
free men and free enterprise. But
government must occasionally re-
strict some freedoms to preserve
other and more important ones
and to maintain a balance be-
tween economic groups so that all
can make their full contribution
to the national welfare"
AS Governor, he fought the Re-
publicans' fragrant system of pat
ronage, but he did not outlaw the
spoils system entirely. Some re-
warding of political supporters,
he said, is part of the system Of
American politics.

no doubt that we will win.
You have summoned me to
the highest mission within the
gift of any people. I could not
be more proud. Better men
than I were at hand for this
mighty task, and owe to you
and to them every resource Of
mind and strength that pos
sess to make your deed of today
a good one for our country and
our party. am confident, too,
that your selection of a candi-
date for Vice President will
strengthen me and our party
immeasurably in the hard, i'm
placable work that lies ahead
for all of us.
I know you join with me in
gratitude and respect for the
great Democrats and leaders of
our generation whose names
you have considered here in
this convention, whose vigor,
character and devotion to the
republic have won the respect
OF countless Americans and en-
r1ched our party. I shall need
them. we shall need them, be-
cause I have not changed in any
respect since yesterday. Your
nomination. awesome as I find
1t, has not enlarged my own
capacities. So I shall be pro-
foundly grateful and embold-
ened by their comradeship and
fealty.
Let me say. too, that I have
been heartened by the conduct
OF this convention. You have
argued and disagreed because as
Democrats you care and care
deeply. But you have disagreed
and argued without calling each
other liars and thieves, without
despoiling our best traditions in

Here's Why Some Delegates
Vote in Halves and Thirds

with 2,574 delegates with 1890
votes. There were 886 district
delegates with one vote each and
688 delegates at large with half
a vote each.
That's not all. Six States went
to the convention with over
strength delegations-that is, they
selected an aggregate of 80 more
delegates than they were allowed.
Some of them, like Massachu-
setts. doubled their entire delegate
allotment including their district
delegates. in violation of conven-
ton rules. Michigan, picked some
delegates with one-third votes, also
against the rules.
