Arthur Murrays Robbed
Of $4,000 in Gems
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Four
masked gunmen pushed their
way into the Park avenue apart
ment of Arthur Murray, the
dance instructor, last night and
robbed Mr.. Murray and his wife
of $4,000 worth of gems.
Robbers knocked Mrs. Muir
ray to the floor, then forced her
at gunpoint to open a safe. Mr..
Murray was forced at gunpoint
to send away a building employe
who came to inquire whether
anything was wrong after a
neighbor heard Mrs. Murray
scream.
The bandits forced an ele-
vator operator to take them to
the Murrays' 14th-f1oor apart
ment. Then they muscled their
way in when Mrs. Murray ans
wered the door bell.
Mrs. Murray said that in addi-
ton to her jewels, which were
not insured, the bandits took
$3.50 in cash and a portable radio.

That dubbed-in laughter on
Jack Benny's show on CBS-TV,
the first he has done on film,
didn't help bit. It killed some
gags altogether.
The clubbing in, which many
viewers have criticized, is done
on the theory that it stimulates
similar reaction at home. Some
of Benny's laughs came at the
wrong time, giving just the oppo-
site effect.
The fllm show was planned at
the beginning of the season to
permit Benny to expand his TV
schedule. His regular show now
runs every three weeks. He has
made other appearances, such as
on Omnibus a couple of Sundays
ago and as a guest on NBC-TV.
His next show December 27, will
be live. Jack also will be in the
Bing Crosby filmed production
now set for January 8.
The Benny film used tech
niques Identical to his live per-
fornlances except there was no
studio audience-despite the
laughter. The filming makes it
convenient for the performer
since the program can be put to-
gether more leisurely than when
it goes directly on the air. Also
it permits editing in the hope a
better show will result.
Paul Winchell's absence from
his show over the week end
showed clearly what happens in
TV when there are no under
studies and substitutes must be
used. 1t was another case of an
unheralded guest master of cere-
monies introducing kinescope
recordings of old Winchell Skits,
even one from last year when
the program had a different
sponsor and cast.
The reason for Paul's sudden
trip to California-the death of
his mother-was not announced
in the telecast. Milton Berle,
who was borrowed almost at the
last minute, merely explained
Winchell had been summoned
out of town.
Berle slipped easily into the
job of introducing the Winchell
kinescopes and the half hour
went off without too much of an

Jimmy Durante at so and

The pair kept things jumping

nRETTY GIRLS, colorful
Il costumes and clever
routines provide good enter
tainment. When these in
gradients are poured into a
water show. it is sure to be
a hit.
At least, the American Uni
versity "Aquiana" has been
popular since it was started
in 1949. Twice a year, the
club puts on an aquacade to
standing = room only crowds
at the AU pool.
Bob Frailey, the univerSity'S
swimming coach, organized
the club. His idea was to
provide recreation for its
members and exercise in the
water for many-not just
those who could swim in
competition.
In the four years it has been
active, the club has had 167
members. Each show has a
cast of close to 30, and Mr..
Frailey feels his objectives
have been attained.
This winters production,

the "Dragnet" theme is being
planned for the spring. All
the groups shows have COM
edy, precision swimming and
colorful costumes. However,
diving, the center of attrac-
ton in most water shows, is
absent.
Mr.. Frailey, a youthful
impresario at %, gets many
of his ideas from ice shows.
A story is written by a uni
versity student, and Mr.. Frai-
ley works his routines into
the plot.
The music is produced
through an elaborate setup.
The entire show is taped with
introductions and sound eff
fectS. The music Is trans
mitted to the audience by a
conventional loudspeaker. Un-
derwater amplit1ers provide
sound to the swimmers. Mr..
Frailey can give instructions
to the cast by using the un-
derwater speaker from a
hidden booth.
II usually spend most of
my time on the mike telling
jokes" Mr.. Frailey says. "The
toughest job is getting the

gags to tell them during the
routineS."
Aquiana props include un-
derwater fountains. rings of
fire, rain from pipes overhead,
colored water, dry ice smoke
effects, candlelight and flying
trapeze.
The club usually gives its
winter show a tryout at Wood
mont Country Club, where the
audience reaction is checked
and details adjusted before
beginning its three-night run
at the university. 1t also puts
on shows for service camps,
country clubs and charity
organizations. It is active
throughout the year.
Mr.. Frailey, assisted by his
wife Floria, Frank Martin and
Don Gray. has produced
such professional shows that

This amendment deprives the
states of any power 10 make n

continued Marshall.

In reply to question posed by
Justice F'rankfurter, Marshall
pointed out that any attempt on
the part OF a state TO set up a
class or caste system solely and
within itself is violation of the
I1th amendment. States are de-
prived OF any power to make any
distinction of races and can't sep

The cases OF Virginia and South

lima to defend It's case while T,

behalf Of segregated schools in
Virginia.
Speaking for the justice de-
partment, J. Lee Rankin, assis-
tant attorney general, specin-

ment.
The government emphasizes
that this court does have the
power by reason OF Section one Of
the 14th Amendment to abolish
segregation. said Rankin, and
these rights must not be denied.
This court has not only the duty
but the obligation 10 decide that
when the constitution says there
must be equality II does not mean
that one group must be treated as
equals and the other group segre-
gated, continued the government
attorney.
Indignation should be accom-
plished at once, he emphasized,
because segregation In schools
In a violation Of constitutional
rights. The lower courts should
be demanded 20 deal with these
problems under orders Of this
court In conformation with the
18th amendment.
This strong argument presented
by Rankin led Atty. Nabrit TO say
in his concluding remarks on the
ID. c. case that President Essen
hover had abolished segregation
in many areas in the District,
and that both he and former
President Truman had gone on re-
cord as favoring indignation in
education and that the attorney

tons have declared segregation
unconstitutional
When the highest office OF this
land and the leading legal minds
Of this country under both major
