TMstrom's KukIopoIitons
Produce True Work of Art
By Harry Macarthur

Authentic works of art do not
turn up with any great frequency
on television. It Is even possible
that you never have encountered
one. That is exactly what the
"Kukla, Fran and Ollie" opera,
"St. George and the Dragon.
turned out to be on Sunday aft
ernoon, however. a genuine work
of art.
It has a lifting musical score
by Jack Fascinato and some
highly comic lyrics by 'Fascinato
and Burr Tillstrom. 1t is, in fact,
the closest thing to Gilbert and
Sullivan since, we'll, Gilbert and
Sullivan. 1t is a musical playlet
of great charm and it certainly
will bear repeating.
At it's premiere performance
this week "St George and the
Dragon" was sung gleefully by
Fran Allison and Mr.. Tillstrom's
Kuklapolitans. The Boston Pops
Orchestra, conducted by Arthur
Fielder, entered into the spirit
and played Mr.. Fascinato's music
most affectionately. The combi-
nation produced television en-
tertainment at it's imaginative
peak, a spirited and. indeed, an
uplifting half-hour.
If there was any before, there
can be no doubt now that Mr..
Tillstrom is an authentic genius.
AS the creator of the Kuklapoll-
tans he was singing five roles
Sunday to Miss Allison's one and
he managed to give all of them
individual touches. 1t was a
protean performance which left
at least one viewer awe-struck
(after he stopped laughing at
Ollie's impersonation of a fire
breathing dragon who coughed
on his own smoke).
A note on the program sent to
TV editors in advance Of the
"St. George" premiere con-
cluded: 1T won't be history, but
it's fun" A modest understate-
ment, that. It truly was fun, all
right, but it also was history,

duced the kinescope in 1929. A

ANNIVERSARY-A forgotten
man on the Hollywood scene less
than five years ago, William Boyd
will celebrate the 250th weekly
telecast of the "Hopalong Cas-
sidy" film series next Saturday.
The first of the films, syndicated
by NBC, was shown on Novem-
ber 28, 1949. The original 54,
made for theaters, have since
been supplemented by 26 new
films made especially for tele-
vision. Boyd now is in produc-
ton with a second set of 26 tele-
films on his NeWhall, Calf.
ranch.
Whether or not Bill Boyd knew
the full extent of what he was
doing when he staked his all
on buring up his old cowboy
movies, he must be set down as
a man of rare foresight. He has
leaped from a waning movie
career to world wide prominence
since that November day in 1949
and he did it without even look
ing at a movie camera again until
the summer of 1852. The Hop
along Cassidy" series has had the
longest run Of any film series on
TV. 1t has been sold to more sta
tions than any other series Q09
and probably has been seen by
more people.
In addition to his following in
the United States, Hoppy has
young TV fans in England,
Canada, Mexico, Italy and
Hawaii. In Hawaii he is known
as "Lopalong."

So far as can be learned here,
the Reds have never spelled out
the kind Of guarantee they want.
The U. N. command thus is deal
ing with a problem which it has
not been clearly able to define.
Doubt about Communist good
faith was reported yesterday to
be behind Secretary of State
Dulles warning of Friday night
that the United States and it's
allies are after an honorable
peace "but if the Communists
want war. we must be ready for
that. too." The dio-television
report to the Nation by Mr..
Dulles and Assistant Secretary
of State, Walter Robertson re-
f1ected distrust of Communist
motiyations not only in the truce
talks but also in the post
armistice period.
A political conference is sup
posed to follow an armistice
within three months. Mr..
Robertson reported he had
agreed with President Rhee that
if the Communists appear to be
negotiating in bad faith-to be
using these meetings as a cover
for hostile actions against
South Korea-he would try to
break up the conference. Mr..
Dulles reviewed United States
agreements with Britain and
France to resume the war in
Korea if the Reds violate truce.

Grave concern has developed
among top officials here over
Communist intentions at this
stage of the tangled Korean
truce negotiations.
There no longer appears to be
as much optimism as there was
a week or 10 days ago that the
Reds will agree shortly to a truce.
Privately officials regard pres
ent Communistic tactics as
"stalling" and they are worried
by the massive Communist as
sault of recent days. They are
beginning to wonder whether
the Reds are playing for some
new military or political objec-
tive. not apparent here. They
also point out that South Ko-
rean President Syngman Rhee's
bitter opposition to the truce
terms may remain a stumbling
block in Red minds, even though
he has given assurances he would
not obstruct an armistice.
The Reds have repeatedly de-
manded guarantees" from the
United Nations command that
South Korea would comply with
the proposed truce terms. The
U. N. command has replied that
the terms will be carried out if
signed and that it is time for the
Reds to realize this and stop
delaying.
If the delays continue it seems
certain the U. N. command will
tell the Communists that it is

MONTICELLO, Ill.,. July 18.-

Samuel c. Waugh today predict
ed Soviet Russia. at its present
rate, will be economically strong
ly stronger than Western Europe
within Is years.
In a speech before the Univer-
sity of Illinois Institute of Inter-
national Trade, Mr.. Waugh said
Russia has made remarkable
economic progress since World
War II.
While solid statistics are not
available, he said, intelligence
estimates show Russia has
doubled its production since
1910. He said Soviet coal pro-
duction, while about half as
big as this country's, is picking
up at a more rapid rate.
Steel Output Doubled.
Mr.. Waugh said Russian steel
production practically doubled
since 1910 and now is three
f1fths of West Europe's capacity
He said Soviet Petroleum output
went from 81 million tons to Al
million since 1910 and is "well
on its way to surprising produc-
ton in Western Europe"
Electric power within the
Soviet Union is only % per cent
of that in the United States" he
said, but the increase from 194C
to the present time is 50 billion

CAIRO, July 18.-Britain's 1t.
Gen. Sir Brian Robertson will
arrive here tomorrow with what
is believed to be an American
inspired outline for a solution to
the bitter Suez Canal Zone dis
pute.
Gen. Robertson was chief Brit
ish negotiator at the British
Egyptian talks which broke
down on May 6. He returned to
London Thursday from the big
three Western foreign minis
ters conference in Washington.
Cairo newspapers tonight
quoted reports that Secretary
of State Dulles has suggested
that American technicians join
the British in maintaining the
canal base with Egypt retaining
full sovereignty over the canal
and the base. The base is vital
for defense of the Middle East.
4CCUAI1C1011S fAKC 4SSUOs
When the negotiations broke
of, the Egyptians accused Brit
ain Of wanting to maintain q
camoufaged occupation. Author
itative sources said the dead
lock was on the number Of
British technicians to remain at
the base to maintain it and the
length Of time they would re-
main.
Britain insisted that no limit
be put on the number and that
she would determine when Egyp-
tians were adequately trained to
take over the base. British evac-
uation and Egyptian occupation
of the base were agreed on in
principle.
Accord. Seen Near.
High sources who accompanied
Mr.. Dulles on his recent fact
finding tour Of the Middle East,
said:
/. Egypt and Britain are not
far apart and the number and
length Of time British tech
nicians should operate the base
could be settled
2. The United States recog-
nized Egypt's demands for SOW
ereignty. but at the same time
wished to make certain the base
would be available If war broke
out.
8. There was no reason for
Britain alone to determine the
number of technicians needed,
but at the same time Egypt
should not be the sole Judge oi

"Our allies must also take con-

Reds Say U. 5. Planes
Have Been Dropping
Leaflets on AifieIds
By the As,oeiniad Pros,

BERLIN. July 18.-Russia
charged tonight that United
States planes have dropped
enemy leaflets on two Soviet
military airfields in East Ger
many almost daily in the last
two weeks and warned that
Soviet military authorities can
not tolerate that"
Soviet High Commissioner Via
dimir Semyenov made the &C
cuSation in a note to United
States High Commissioner James
B. Conant. saying:
81 direct your attention to the
fact that in the last two weeks.
American planes Of the CAT type
have appeared almost daily over
the Soviet airf1elds, Werneuchen
and Elstal, at a height of so to
100 meters (150 to 800 feetl In
violation Of flying regulations"
Called "GrOss Violation"
"These gross violations by
American planes against flying
regulations led to serious threat
not only to flight security Of the
Soviet planes stationed on the
field but of transport planes of
the United States of America,
Great Britain and France operat-
ing between Berlin and West
Germany" the Soviet note as
serted.
II also call to your attention
that the above planes
dropped leaflets containing en-
emy attacks on the Soviet forces
on the Soviet airf1eldS. The So
Wet military authorities, of
course, can not tolerate that"
the note continued.
II therefore insist that imme-
diate steps be undertaken to pre-
vent the violation Of flying Sc
curity over Soviet airfields by
American planes and to stop the
dropping Of leaflets.
II request you to inform me
of the measures taken in this
regard"
Series of Accusations.
The sharply worded protest
followed a series of accusations
by Semyenov that the United
States had irstigated the June
II revolt in East Germany.
The Soviet note Immediately
raised fears in Berlin that the
Russians may be using it as a
prelude to harasSment of the
Allied air corridors to this city
behind the Iron Curtain.
Four-power talks with the
Russians on air safety over East
Germany - initiated on Soviet
suggestion after MIG fighters
shot down an R. A. F. bomber
with loss of seven British lives
last March-have been virtually
stalled.
The last four-poWer meeting
of air generals was held in the
British sector here July l. It
was the seventh. No concrete
results have yet been announced.
Charge Branded Untrue.
The Soviet note was bulletined
tonight by the Communist news
agency Adm. American Gov
ernment officials in Berlin were
not aware of its existence until
telephoned by Western newsmen
who had received the text from
Adm.
"I don't think for a moment
that the Soviet charge is true"
said Cecil B. Lyon, Berlin di-
rector of the United States High
Commission.
"The Soviet note reaches us
through diplomatic channels, we
will forward it to DR.. Conant.
Il can't conceive that any
American planes have been
dropping leaflets on Soviet air
bases in Germany"
