Those characters Jackie
Gleason portrays on television
are based on real people.
Furthermore. the originals
know they're the ones the TV
characters are patterned after
and they're delighted" says
the uninhibited CHS video star.
"All the guys are still around.
and I see them quite often"
he adds, but he doesn't tell
who they are. In fact. many
fans think there's more Of
Jackie than just his last name
in Reggie Van Gleason.
The names for the TV char
acters are chosen to tell you
the kind of people they are"
he says.
What about Rudy the Re
pairman?
"It seems to me every re-
pairman I've ever met was
named Rudy" he observes.
AS for Ralph and Alice. the
HoneymoonerS, they were Civ
en- the last name of Cramden
because it can't be identified
with any nationality, in keep
ing with the attempt to make
them typical of all young mar
ried couples.
Gleason decided the first
name Reggie would be In keep
ing with the wealthy playboy
role and Fenwick Babbitt
would carry the right connota-
ton for the poor character al
ways attempting unpleasant
jobs. The Loudmouth, Joe the
Bartender and the Poor Soul
are among others in his semi
fictional family.

The 37-year-old comedian
has been in show business
nearly 20 years but got his big
break as the sailor
loose playing opposite Gertrude
NieSen m 1945 in the Broad

Girls" He first appeared on
TV in a filmed version of The
Life of Riley" and was on the
Du Mont network a couple of
seasons in "Cavalcade Of
Stars" This is his second sea-
son on CHS.
Now that his show is among
the top 10 in popularity rat
ings. Gleason is being ap-
preached to return to Holly
wood where he made a few
pictures in the early foltieS.
But if he does do any movies,
he hopes for better roles.

The full-cheeked, well-up-

his present career to be a short

years in television is as far as

Nelson's Are BeIievobIe
One of the most believable
programs on the air is The
Adventures of Ozzie and Har-
riet" on ABC radio and tele-
vision, with the Nelson family
playing themselves.
The reason it's believable,
says Ozzie, is that we use
things that actually happen in
our family as a springboard
and are careful to keep close
to reality"
And we make sure that

Suspect Held in Killing
Of Venezuelan Official
BY the Assocloted Press

CARACAS. Venezuela. Nov. 9.
National security police an
nounced last night the arrest of
Francisco Jose GaScueS Rios and
said he had confessed the mur-
der of Rafael Arraiz. 42-year-
old president of the government
owned airline. Linea AeropoStal
VeneZolana.
Mr.. Arraiz was killed by six
bullets as he was driving his car
in the eastern suburbs of Caracas
Saturday. He had recently fired
Gascues Rios. a former agent for
the line. and accused him of
Swindling $4,000 bolivars ($15,-
00O) from the company.

for presentation to Congress in
January might call for new sales
taxes or increased rates on, arti-
cles already taxed, to increase
the Governments income.
Gen. Eisenhower has ruled out
any request for a general retail
sales tax. But he has left the
door open for sales taxes at the
manufacturers level.
Mr.. Humphreys prepared text
contained hint that somewhat
relaxed economic activity can be
expected in the near future.
He said the Nations ability to
produce had been increased to
the point where lower percent

lines will develop more material

may be that this output will be

January Cuts Sure.
Mr.. Humphrey said the sched-
uled 10 per cent income tax re-
duction and abolition of the ex-
cess profits tax on corporations
would go through as planned by
January l and that these cuts
had been made possible by
spending slaSheS already made.
1t appeared, therefore, that
his reference to possible tax in
creaseS, unless further heavy
spending reductions can be made,
was in other fields.
An aide in Washington said the
Secretary based his predictions on
the assumption Congress would
approve tax requests made to
Congress last spring. 1T that
time, President Eisenhower asked
that excises and corporation in
come taxes scheduled to go Gown
next April be continued at present
levels or that substitutes be
found. Chances that Congress
will accept this program seem
doubtful.

Humphrey Predicts
Continued Deficit
And Higher Taxes
Rx the Associated Press

DETROIT, Nov. 9.-Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey said
today the Government faces a
possible deficit of So to SO. billion
next year unless spending can
be cut or taxes raised.
And. he said, 'only relatively
small reductions" in Government
spending can be made quickly.
This appeared to point, in Mr..
Humphreys view, to a solution
combining ca some tax in
creases, (b) some red ink spend
ing, and Co some reductions in
spending.
Mr. Humphrey, in remarks
prepared for the Detroit Eco
nomic Club, did not say what
possible tax increases the Treas
ury might have in mind, but
more revenue from excise or sales
taxes seemed indicated.
Mr.. Humphrey said the "di-
lemma" of how to meet the def
icit next year is ''our most urgent
problem at this time" It is a
dilemma that must be solved
shortly, since budget estimates
for fiscal 1855 must be completed
In the next six weeks.
AS he has done repeatedly. Mr..
Humphrey limited strongly that
the Eisenhower administration
will renew its request to Con-
gress for a higher debt limit.
Congress last summer refused a
White House request for an in
crease in the Governments bor-
rowing power from $275 to $500
billion.
Outlines Problem.
Nh. Humphrey gave this brief
outline of the Governments fl
nancial outlook in fiscal 1855,
which begins next July |:
I'VE have cut the prospective
deficit for the current fiscal year
from more than $11 billion to
less than 81 billion.
But the next year is even
more difficult. The best esti-
mates that we now have show
that if spending continues at the
present rate it will exceed our
estimated income after termina-
ton of the excess profits tax and

Aims for Higher

The Virginia Education Asso-

schools here.
According to DR.. Merle K. Lam
drum, president Of the Longwood
College local YEA. Dr.. Edgar NJ
Johnson. DR.. Floyd Swertfeger,
and Mrs. Helen Mcdowell went as
official delegates to the meetings.
DR.. Gordon Moss served OF the

Mrs. Imogen H. Gilmer. of
Farmville. who is president Of the
Cumberland-Prince Edward Asso-
citation. represented her chapter.
Section President
Mrs. Mildred Davis, professor of
English at the College, is presi-
dent Of the English section of the
YEA. AS such, she presided over
the sessions of that section. at
which Richard Meeker, member
Of the LongWood English faculty,
presented report written by Dr..
r. c. Simonini. now on leave of
absence. which will be published
in the December issue of the Vir-
ginia English Bulletin.
At the business education sec
ton. which was attended by DR..
Landrum. an address was made by
DR.. Hamden Forkner, of Columbia
University. entitled rs Business
Education Measuring Up To It's
Responsibility" His remarks in
cluded the statement that text
books should be considered as re-
source materials. not as materials
to be memorized
He also stated that teaching
today is directed toward the "ay-
erage' student. with the result
that able students are not being
challenged or interested to the
maximum.
Salary Pleas
The General Assembly of the
YEA. which expects to represent
10000 Virginia teachers next year.
reiterated its pleas for higher
public school salaries. The pres
ent minimum scale is $1,000 to
$4,000 with increments of $40 for
each of IL years.
The YEA adopted demands Of
a minimum Of $4,000 to a maxi
mum of $4,000 with eight annual
!ncrements of 5000
YEA Tax Views
The YEA bases its recommend
atoms on the fact that Virginia is
not using its taxing powers to the
fullest extent. 1t alleges that Vir-
glnia is the wealthiest Southern
state: that it is one of the lowest
tax states in the nation. and Is
nov failing to use the full pro-
ceedS of existing State taxes.
Also that Virginia is spending a
smaller percentage of the income
of its people for public education
than it did 20 years ago: that no
Southern state appropriates a
smaller percentage of the total
cost Of public education from state
funds than does Virginia: that
the State does not have to bear
the entire cost of enacting the
YEA salary proposals, but could
and should pass on to the locali-
ties part Of the cost in relation
to the ability of the localities TO
bear it.

hearings, the Capone mob
emerged as the major criminal
syndicate in the United States.
In Florida, where they had mus
cled in on the local S. & G. gam
bling syndicate, an obscure
Chicago bookie named Harry
Russell acted as their front"
He knew every fact and detail
the committee was after. His tes-
timony might conceivably have
led to the Imprisonment of the
leaders of the syndicate, but
Russell hid behind the Fifth
Amendment. Although he was
cited for contempt, q Wash
ingtOn judge acquitted him.
What a different story it would
have been if the committee could
have granted this small-time tin
horn immunity, thereby forcing
him to give them the information
they wanted or spend a stretch
in Jail. Being forced to rot in Jail
while the men being protected
stay free often has had the de-
sired effect. Look how Harry
Gross changed his mind after he
had started to serve his l2-year
sentence.
Safeguards Against Abuse
As A safeguard against abuse,
the law provides that a prosecut-
ing attorney cannot grant this
immunity without first obtaining
the permission of the Attorney
General of the United States; in
the case of congressional COM
mittees, an immunity witness
must first be cleared by two
thirds of the full committee,
Needless to say, a witness can
not claim immunity for an answer
not responsive to the question.
Thus, if the question is, What is

this does not mean that the wit

Our Commission has drafted a
similar model witness immunity

State legislatures to consider its
adoption.
Also, every state needs a law
like New York City's which pro-
