Jack Webb says he has had it..
He has played Sgt. Joe Friday

radio until the character is run

to wind the whole thing up as
soon as he can.
This week the most famous cop
In the country was shooting the
121st "Dragnet" film for TV.
His current contract calls for "a
more episodes, making a total of
| 1876.
But after that I don't want to
do any more said Webb as we
sat on the set at the Disney
Studios where he films Drag
net"
"A guy only has l04 half -hour
films in him for any one TV
series. Beyond that you get stale,
and on TV you run the risk of
boring the public. I. there's one
thing, I don't want to do, it's
bore my public"
Webb definitely will quit the
"Dragnet" radio show next fall.
He has ground out more than
400 Of those. If the show con-
tinues on radio, it will be without
Webb.
Meanwhile, he is striving to
make the rest of the TV films
as different as possible, since he
is in the paradcxical position of
being in competition with him
self.

peat run of "Dragnet" is seen in
most cities now, and in some
instances, = on the same night.
Webb also faces competition with
several imitators who employ
essentially the same technique
which he initiated on TV three
years ago-lots of closeups, low
key acting, and that fat, ex-
pressionless dialogue.

Few Obtain New License Tags;
 Deadline Feb. 20

Only a small percentage of Val ley vehicle owners have purchas- ed the 1854 license tags which must be attached to the license plate by February 28, U. S. Com missioner Dorothy Saxton said this week.
 Approximately 1,500 vehicles were licensed through the Palmer office in 1853, Mrs. Saxton said. Of this amount only $50 passeng- CT vehicles and around 100 trucks have been licensed this year.
 For the convenience of those who work during the day and cannot get into the office. Mrs. Saxton announced she will keep her office open from 7:0o to lo:o0 pm. on Tuesday. Febru- arY Is and Thursday, February l8.
 Vehicle owners are reminded that the 28th falls on Sunday this year. Mrs. Saxton said that her office will be open the morning of the 27th. All vehicles being operated in the territory must have the tags attached to the 1853 plates by February 28.
 The territorial school tax which became due January l, 1854, may be paid at the same time by those who desire to do so, she added.
