Editors Hear Call
For End Of Secrecy
On Atomic Energy
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

CHICAGO, Nov. GA news
paper editor today called for an
easing of the tight secrecy sur
rounding atomic enerW on
grounds that the price paid for
such secrecy is ''too, too high"
William P. Steven of the Min
neapols Star and Tribune said:
"A full development of the
peaceful uses Of atomic power
inevitably demands that the Sc
crecy clauses in the present law
be eliminated"
Mr.. Steven, chairman of the
Freedom Of Information Commit
tee Of the Associated Press Man

news executives at the annual
APME meeting:
THE one greatest power
source discovered by man we
lock up as best we can behind

it to ourselves for fear we reveal

our own capacities to think

The presentation was prepared

the staff of the Miami Herald
Station WQAM.
Yesterday the publishers heard
that they are too modest about
publicizing their own contribu-
tions to civic betterment projects.
And, turning critical eyes on
their own products. they heard a
committee report a national sur

our newspapers must do better

"strike out the legal require

Mr.. Steven made clear that
we should not tell the Russians
how to make the H-bomb. He
quoted Gordon Dean, Acc chair
man from 1850 to 1853, as say
ing:
I'VE never had a monopoly
in this country in atomic energy.
All we had was the exclusive
possession of a stockpile of
atomic weapons for a few years.
Even that now is gone.'"
Yesterday an Associated Press
photographer, held prisoner for
33 months in North Korea, told
the meeting that America did
nothing to educate its troops to
withstand Communist mental or
physical pressure.
Early Prisoners Not Seasoned.
Frank Pappy) Noel, 48, who
was captured early in the Ko-
rean war, said American soldiers
seized by the Reds the first year
and half of the fighting were
"babes in the woods"
"They were not mentally
equipped or fortified in any way
on how to take care of them
selves against this intenses in
doctrination that was poured on
day after day and hour after

For this reason, Mr.. Noel said,

Mr.. Gilmore, who was per-
mitted to take his Russian-b born
wife and children from behind
the Iron Curtain this year, said:
when you live over there and
see what is going on. and move
about a bit, and read all the

HOLLYWOOD.

Comedians have no one to
blame but themselves for the
killing pace Of TV.
No less an authority than Jack
Benny is the source for this
statement concerning the vora-
cious manner in which TV has
swallowed up the funnymen and
their material.
1.-THE comics in this business
should have gotten together in
the beginning and insisted on
doing just one show q MONTH"
says Jack.
"Then each of these shows
should have been repeated for
three consecutive weeks, and the
comic paid on the basis of one
live show and three repeats"
It's Jacks contention that not
enough people have the oppor-
tunity to see a certain TV show
at q given time when it is played
only once.
1.-The TV industry followed the
pattern set by radio, but every
body would have been better off
if it had programmed shows
similarly to the way the theaters
do" he says.
Jack is aware of the broad
casters argument that they have
to be on the air so many hours a
day to clear their overhead. But
he maintains that a network
doesn't have to spend thousands
Of dollars building and rehears-
ing a show which is performed
only once.
The fiddle player from Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, has no personal axe
to grind in advocating this TV
conservation program. He knows
the day is not far off when his
sponsor will tag him for a weekly
TV stint instead of the one-in-
three-weeks schedule he is on
now.
"Of course I won't be doing
radio when that happens, but
the idea of a weekly TV show
doesn't frighten me. I never
have tried to do the type of
program which in the vernacu-
lar kills the people, The audi
ence doesn't have to scream and
stomp their feet at my little
jokes" explains Jack.
"On weekly TV show I will
be able to use many running
gags and ideas which will come
to the writer's and me more
easily because we'll be working
at it every week.
when you boil it down, do
ing a radio or TV show every
week is just a job-a nice job I
admit-but just a job. I think
my radio career proves that.
Who would have believed I would
be on radio % years?"

an example Of what I'm talking
about. The actual idea for this
one wouldn't play more than a
minute and a half, but with
the buildup and dressing, this
sketch will consume most Of the
half hour"
Jacks sketch will concern a
gangSter, and Of course he would
settle for no one but Humphrey
Bogart, who will be making his
TV acting debut. Unlike many
Of his contemporaries in this
business of making people laugh,
Jack does not sell himself be-
forehand that every show Is
terrific.
"A thing is either good or bad.
but naturally you try to make
it good" he says, with a humility
strange to most comedians.
I don't doubt that Jack is
better equipped to do a weekly
TV show than most of his
brother comics, but I hope he
doesn't have to do so.
In fact, I would like to see his
sponsor try out Jacks idea Of
doing one show a month and
then telecasting repeat showingS
for three consecutive weeks.
I think it not only would turn
out to be a successful formula
for Jack. but would ease the
tension for many viewers who
are beginning to feel that laugh
ing is becoming a job, too.

The commissioners acted on
the request of School Supt. Ho-

Board.
At present, DR.. Corning told
the city heads. administrative
offices are scattered among 81
different buildings, including
the main headquarters at the
Franklin School building. The
eight rooms of Wormley, after
some partitioning, will permit
school authorities to close down
perhaps a dozen other offices.
In most cases, DR.. Corning
said, the vacated Offices proba-
bly, will be converted to class
rooms.
In order to have as many
claSsrooms as possible, the super
intendent added, it was neces-
sary to move two public health
agencies from Brookland School.
The school system is trying to
find quarters for the agencies
in other buildings.
DR.. Corning said he had no
idea how much it will cost to
prepare the Wormley School for
its new use. He said he under
