Can q gentle, literate comedy
succeed on television?
Ronald Colmail is gambling
q year of his time and talents
that 1t can. He and his lovely
wife, Bonita Hume, are star
ring In a filmed series based
on their radio show, "The Halls
Of Ivy"
OF course, the Colmans are
getting paid for their efforts.
But the profit on the first run

pared to what can be made
when the films are re-shown.
That's where the gamble lies.
A show has to prove a draw on
Its first showing in order to
get a good price on re-runS.
Against the Trend
''"The Halls of Ivy" goes
against the trend in TV COM
edy. There are no hurled pies,
splashing seltzer bottles or
baggy pants. The Colmans be-
have like educated human be-
ings, still managing to get into
humorous situations. The
show has to fight for It's audi
ence with three Of the broad
cast comics-Milton Berle,
Martha Raye and Bob Hope.
"But our sponsors seem to
feel that there are q number
of viewers who would like less
raucous entertainment" said
C0lman during a brief rest
between scenes. "They are the
ones we are aiming at"

SchwabIe' Counsel,
Drafts Final Argument
For Monday Hearing
By [. Edoor Primo

Counsel in the Col. Frank H.
Schwable germ warfare con-
fession" case today labored over
final arguments they will present
to a Marine court Of inquiry on
Monday at Henderson Hall Bar,
racks, Arlington.
They turned to their summa-
lions after the 45-year-old flying
hero testified dramatically in his
own behalf yesterday before the
men who must recommend
whether he should be disciplined
for breaking under Communist
psychological torture in Korea.
No decision will be made pub
lie Immediately. The court must
report directly to Gen. Lemuel
Shepherd, Marine Corps COM
mandant, who may accept or
reject the courts findings.
Six Hours on Stand.
Col. Schwable spent nearly six
hours on the stand yesterday
and although there were FIVE
minute recesSeS every hour and
an intermission for lunch. he APP
peared to be almost as fresh at
the end as when he started at a
little past 10 am. in a packed
room.
With his reputation and career
: at stake in these unprecedented
proceedings, the small, thin Ma
rine colonel spoke clearly, firmly
and with considerable animation.
He explained what he called
his capitalization" to the Chinese
Communists "as matter of just
complete collapSe-collapse of
any will or ability to resist
further" He said he couldn't re-
member exactly when it hap
pened but that it was sometime
after he had been harangued
ferociously for two hours by his
interrogation. This. he added. left
him exhausted and frantic.
Story Seemed Real.
Asked whether he ever be-
lieved the United States had en-
gagged in meteorological warfare,
Col. Schwable sat straight back
in his chair. paused a moment
and said:
II knew that the LIST Marine
Wing didn't, but on the rest of it
when I was writing it down it
was real to mellow the planes

their bombs-that was real"

colonel answered. You can't
feel that way when you do
something you don't do on your

At one point, the hollow-eyed
witness remarked that probably
he would have been more for

jected to brutalities because peo-
pie understand that more easily.

by the Cumulative effect" of the

He criticized a Marine-Defense
Department press release issued
on July IL. 1852. four days after

facts about his military status
and duty. Noting that China
