Seeing Isn't Believing
Scenery Is Trickery
Limited TV Studio Space Demands
Ingenuity Of Scenic Designer

Asseeioied Press Stoff Writer

will require extra care on col
ors, he says, lit will be 100 per
cent more rewarding, and in
some instances will be more
rewarding for U.s."
Problems ApIenty
At times it seems it would
take a Philadelphia lawyer to
straighten out all the snarls
that can come up in television.
Joseph w. Bailey, production
supervisor of Eye Witness"
on NBC-TV, wasn't born in
Philadelphia but in Columbia
City, Ind, and was a lawyer
before he got into TV. He
finds he needs all his legal
background to meet problems
that come up on the show.
One of the biggest problems,
he says. is in buying stories.
Nepture Produc tions Co.,
which owns the show, could
buy a story in complete good
faith and put it on the air.
but if the story had been
swiped by it's author from
some one else. Neptune might
be liable for damages.
The company always re-
ceives a warranty from the
author that his story is an
original and it also takes out
liability insurance as we'll.
But that doesn't eliminate the
headaches.
After producing show one
Monday night, the company
was informed on Tuesday by
a writer that it was a steal
from his radio show of two
years earlier.
Fortunately, says Bailey. one
of the co-authors Of the TV
script was able to prove he had
published the story In a ma
tional magazine more than
five years earlier.
You Cont Sue
On another occasion the
company, a partnership oper-
alton of Robert Montgomery
and John Gibbs, bought the
TV rights to a story by a noted
British author-directly from
the author. 1t was threatened
with a suit by an agent who
had been authorized to nego-
tiate for sale of all perform
ance rights to that authors
works. but no charge of copy
right violation could be made
to stick unless it was joined by
the copyright holder. And the
copyright holder was the au-
thor who personally had au-
thoriZed use of his story.
Can you sue if your name is
John Jones and a TV play
depicts a very sorry character
and calls him John Jones?
No. says Bailey. if it was not a
deliberate and malicious act
aimed at you personally.
There are countless other
legal problems. he says, such
as being sure that the produc-
tions keep within the contracts
of the couple Of hundred
unions" the company has to
deal with.
Bailey, as Montgomery's per-
sonal representative, supervises
both Eye Witness" and the
Robert Montgomery Theater
that follows. Eye Witness"
incidentally. goes on summer
vacation after tomorrow's per-
Torrance.

Police Get 3NiIIion
Firecrackers Here

The District Fire Marshal's Of
nee opened it's annual drive on
explosive flrecrackers with
bang yesterday and caused sell
Eure Of a record 3 million at one
store.
The haul was made at the
Southern Supply Co., a novelty
shop at 420 I street NV, and
came as a result of an investi-
cation by Hugh Groves, third
assistant fire marshal.
Mr.. Groves was making a
check of the store when he
noticed a box labeled fireworks. !"
He opened it and found 2-inch
"salutes.
The assistant marshal left and
returned with two policemen and
an emergency warrant.
They arrested Joseph j. Bauer,
a, of 1923 Cross drive, Alex
andria, as proprietor. Bauer was
released in $500 bond for Mu-

many months, If not years, Of
haggling and bargaining be-
fore that conference can reach
a decision.
President Eisenhower en-
phatically stated last week in
his Nationwide radio and tele-
vision broadcasts that we shall
have no Munich" Nobody
can challenge his statement.
He means what he says. There
is, however, a but" which is
being overlooked by many. The
disastrous Big Four meeting in
the Bavarian capital merely
sealed a series of previous sur
renders of the Western de-
mocracies to Italian and Ger
man totalitarianism.
The seeds OF World War II
were planted when the League
of Nations, where Britain and
France had a dominant posi-
tion, failed to prevent Musso-
lini's aggression against Abys-
Sinia. Not only did these
powers, which had more back
ing then than the United
States has now in the United
Nations. fail to prevent that
aggression, but once the
Italian flag was raised at Ad-
dis Ababa they rushed to rec
ognize that crime "for the sake
of preservation of peace"
Winston Churchill, who has
used every ounce of his po-
litical skill to induce this
country to accept what in fact
are the Red terms for an
armistice in Korea, refers to
that incident" in the first
volume of his memoirs, 1.-THE
Gathering Storm" as follows:
"The battle for peace, which
could. in 1885, have been won,
was now almost lost. Musso-
lini had triumphed in Ahys-
Sinia and had successfully de-
fed the League of Nations,
and especially Great Britain"
Replace the words Abyssinia
with Korea, Mussolini with
Mao Tse-tung and Great
Britain with the United States
in that quotation and we have
in 1858 a painfully similar
picture.
Quoting from his diary of
18 years ago in the same vol
ume, Mr.. Churchill adds: "Vir-
tuouS motives, trammeled by
inertia and timidity, are no
match for armed and reSolute
wickedneSs. A sincere love of
peace is no excuse for mud

Lowell MeHett:
The Education Of a President
He Learns Ihot His Friends in NAM and of c. DontAeree
That Whos Good for the Country Good for Business

The political education of
Gen. Ike proceeds apace. With
all the confidence in the world
he put the country's tax prob
lem up to the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the
National Association of Manu-
facturerS. They were business
men and they would under
stand. Not only that, but he
had chosen his administra-
ton virtually from their ranks
and the tax program was the
work of their own kind of
people. True these chosen few
were now on the inside look
ing out, not on the outside
looking in, and were COM
PEELED to consider the problem
from the standpoint of the
Government and the Nation,
rather than from their indi-
vidual interests. But the Pres
1dent could not doubt that
their friends and his friends
in the C. of C.. and NAM would
put the national welfare ahead
of any private considerations.
The President has been dis
illuSioned. His Defense Sec
retary and Treasury Secretary,
both tycoons in private life,
may agree that what is good
for the country is good for
business, but a majority Of the
members of the two big buSi-
ness organizations apparently
regard that as sheer nonsense.
And they have so voted. The
President will get no help from
them in his effort to extend
the excess profits tax to the
end of the current year. Their
support goes instead to the
element in Congress that is de-
termined to abandon the tax at
the end of this month.
Businessmen very generally
and quite honestly regard the
excess profits tax as a bad tax.
