All These Years
NEW YORK

SoSOStOiSo BIOSS StOtt "ttbOs
r NEW YORK.
From so years in show busi-
ness - stage, movies, radio
and television-Co Comedian Ed
Wynn has these observations:
Jokes have not changed a
bit"
"It pays to keep entertain
ment clean-there are more
clean people than dirty
people"
If jokes haven't changed,
why are some comedians
much more successful than
others?
A joke. says Wynn, is like
q song. It's as much who sings
q song as the tune itself. and
with a joke it's "who do you
like to hear tell it,"
. Wynn, who came East re-
Gently from Hollywood for a
: couple of gueSt-Star appear
ances on Ed Sullivan's Toast
Of the Town." observes that
i some Of the jokes he told early
IN his career are as popular
now as then.
"In the old New York Hinuo.
: drome over 80 years ago first
told the one that the best way
to start a fire was to rub two
Boy Scouts together" he re-
calls.
That one has been retold
thousands of times in original
form and with endless varia-
tions. During campaign years,
he says, the version is that the
best way to start a fire is to
rub a Democrat and q Repub-
lican together.
Wynn, one Of the first major
stars to go into TV, says he
believes jokes not only should
be clean, but should be Of the
type that don't offend any one.
II don't like insult comedy, =
he says. "I claim that caustic
comedy Is the easiest to write.
You can be funny without Of
Tending or hurting anybody.
win Rogers was a master Of
harmless humor."
: The veteran entertainer, who
billed himself as "The Perfect
Fool" and was famous for
years on radio as "The Fire
Chief" says there are two
basic types Of comedians
"the gag comedian" who de-
pends on the point of the joke
for laughs, and "the method
comedian" who makes heavy
use Of props and mannerisms, /,
to embelliSh his story. He puts
himself in the latter class.
Wynn. who has had several
regular TV shows. is working
on q new half-hour series he
hopes to have ready in a few
weeks. Although he usually
played in book shows on the
stage, he has been seen only
in revue-type programs on TV.

departure In that It will have
a story line.
The Eosy Woy
The big question for radio
and television performers is:
Is 1t better to be q star to-
day and gone tomorrow, or be
content for less and stay
around longer?
Johnny and Penny Olsen
prefer the latter alternative,
saying, Wed rather go along
our nice, easy way" that has
kept them profltably busy for
years.
Johnny started in radio over
20. years ago and currently is
on radio eight times a week
e and T'V six times a week, with
Wife Penny joining him in
five of the video shows.
You won't find any Of the
Olsen programs at the top Of
= the Hooper or Nielsen popu-
larity lists. but all have good,
solid ratings and the Olsen
paycheckS would make many
bank presidents envious.
Penny and Johnny are to-
gether on "Homemakers' jam
boree" on WJZ-TV, New York
station Of the American
Broadcasting Co., Mondays
Through Fridays. Johnny also
is on the Nora Drake daytime
serial on CHS radio five times
a week. on Break the Bank"
on ABC radio twice q week.
on Movie Quiz" on Mutual
radio once a week and on
kids and Company" on the
Du Mont TV network once a
week. They teamed on "The
RumpuS Room" on network
TV four years and plan to
bring the show back.
Because they specialize in
the low-pressure, easy going
type of program, the Olsens
say, I'VE find television no
more strenuous than radio"
I'VE have let our audiences
like us as we are without pre-
tending to be something we
aren't" says Penny.
Another Problem
Another big question in Tv,
says Robert Cummings. is
whether to play to the adults
or the youngsters.
You may have noticed that
in MY Hero" on NBC-TV
there has been a toning down
of the comedy. including elm
ination Of the scenes showing
smoke coming out of Cum
mings' ears during a torrid
kiss. The change was de-
signed to meet objections from
a number Of adult viewers
that the show tended too
much to. slapstick.
I'm not sure whether 1t
was q good idea," he related
on a trip here from hollywood.
"The kids loved 1t and we've
had hundreds Of letters Of
protest. And the kids often
decide what the set is tuned
to. at least until they 60 to
bed"

Inspector Again Cites Danger
Of |PIug-In| Air Conditioners

The Districts electrical in
spection division yesterday re-
newed It's warning against use
of the "plug-it-in" type of air
conditioner in ordinary electric
circuits of dwellings.
Frank Stetka, chief inspector,
declared that the problem is be-
coming increasingly serious with
the skyrocketing sales of the
units IN the Metropolitan area.
In 1949, ALP were sold. Last
year sales rose to 1922 with the
demand outstripping the supply.
Advertising Questioned.
While Mr.. Stetka is all in favor
of air conditioners, his fears and
objections center on those deal
ers who continue to advertise
the machines in a questionable
manner. Just plug it in" their
ads say.
Actually. since most window
units require three -fourths or
more horsepower, a special and
heavier electrical circuit is re-
quired, by law and in the
interests of fire safety, to accom-
modate the conditioners.
Many purchasers resort to in
Stalling heavier fuses for the sake
OF convenience. But this merely
overloads inadequate wiring, Mr.,
Stetka points out. The danger is

Strike Ends After Ia Years

Pretty soon Jim began to cele-

strike by decorating the pub in
festive style and passing out free
drinks. He even invited the
pickets in to quaff, but they said
they couldn't enter the place
without violating union orders.
So Jim sent brew out to them.
Soon the story of Jim's strike
spread. Newspapers all over the
world published it and tourists

hare to have drinks at the pub
If the boys with the placards

that the wire overheats and the
insulation deteriorateS. A fire

Apartments Are Problem.
Apartment houses are a partic-
ular problem, at least from the
inspection standpoint. Mr.. Stetka
reported that one such inspection
revealed that of lat window air
conditioners only two had sepa-
rate and adequate circuits. In
another apartment house At units
were installed without separate
circuits, and some of the apart
ments had three conditioners on
a single inadequate circuit.
The real burden of responsible
ity rests on dealers. Mr.. Stetka
said, to explain wiring needs to
buyers.

By the Associated Press

DUN LOAGHAIRE, Ireland,
May 30.-A 14-year-long strike
ended today when the sad news
got about. Saloon keeper Jim
Downey was dead.
Union pickets, who paraded
before Jim's place in relays since
1889, packed up their placards
and went home. They had
walked about 100000 miles
often braced by beers Jim him
self would spirit out to them.
Jim was a non-drinker who
dispensed cheer over the bar for
81 of his 70 years.
One day in 1889 Jim fired his
bartender and hired a pretty,
buxom barmaid instead.
The union ordered the bar
tender reinstated. Jim got his
Irish up and refused. The strike
was on.
AS the years went by Jim stub
bornly refused to fire the bar
maid. And the pickets kept plod-
ding in front of his pub at a total
cost of about $1.700 to the union.

Churchill 10 Seek
Commonwealth Aid
On East-West Talks
BY the Assoeiated Press


LONDON, May 3O.-Winston
Churchill will ask eight fellow
prime ministers in the British
Commonwealth here next week
to back his project for an early
East-West parley, British sources
said today.
Mr.. Churchill thus hopes to
strengthen his hand, these in
formantS said, at his June con-
ference in Bermuda with Presi-
dent Eisenhower and the new,
still unchosen premier of France.
Close Study of Problems.
The coronation of Queen Eliz-
abeth II has brought the leaders
of the Commonwealth nations to
London. They will meet immedi-
ately after the Queen is crowned
Tuesday for a region-by-region
survey of the world situation and
a close discussion of their own
defense, economic and constitu-
tional relationships.
The British prime minister's
campaign for a meeting of the
big Western chiefs with Russia's
Premier Georgi Malenkov I'M
doubleday would be reinforced if
it mad the unqualified support
of the spokesman for the globe
girdling Commemorative $50
million people.
Their world survey will range
fro mthe strains and stresses in
the BritiSh-American partner
ship, through Europe and the
uneasy Middle East to Pacific
defense and the Korean truce.
Warning of Hard Times.
Britain's chancellor of the ex-
chequer, R. A. Butler, is expected
to warn the Commonwealth hard
times may come by next fall
through payments crisis in the
sterling money system. In other
words, Britain's dollar spending
by then probably will have out
stripped her dollar earnings. He
is also expected to tell the con-
ferees that failure of his mission
to Washington with a detailed
"trade-not-aid" program may
mean a slump for some Western
nations is on the way.
Aside from Mr.. Churchill him
self, other prime ministers at
tending the siX-day talks are
midas Jawaharlal Nehru, PAX
istan's Mohammed Ali, Canada's
Louis st. Laurent, Ceylon's Dud-
ley Senanayake, Australians Rob-
ert G. Menzies, New Zealand's
