Television has done something
nothing else ever has been able
to do. It has performers re-
garding professional critics as
much more reasonable men than
they seemed before. 1t has
achieved this simply by making
critics of all viewers.
Jack Benny took note OF the
phenomenon the other day out
in Hollywood. A veteran of all
branches of the entertainment
world, except six-day bicycle
racing and the roller derby, the
comic told an interviewer that
television is the most difficult he
has tackled.
When the public gets some
thing for nothing" said Benny,
lit is more demanding and every
body becomes a critic. I know
that when l appear on TV I am
playing to millions of critics in
the living rooms of America"
This. incidentally, may be
what has aged the comedian.
Something has. at any rate. In
an article in the current Golfers
rlagazine. Benny announces a
p1cmentous personal decision he
mas made. After tenaciously
sticking to the age of 80 for
years, he will. as of February IA.
1854. adopt a policy of being 40.
~ =
Mr.. Benny is so right, anyhow.
in his comments on the amateur
critics. What's more the anna
teurS are a lot more abusive
than the professional critics.
They don't bother with niceties
of phrasing. They let fly with
the grape shot. A recent sample
turning up here was a postcard
message signed "TV Fan" It
read, in full:
Mr.. Macarthur:
Three things that stink the

Everybody Is a TV Critic,
Comic Benny Observes
By Harry Macarthur

He's been accused Of ritxing
his friends. neglecting his chill
dren. losing the cooperation Of
Los Angeles Police William
Parker. secretly getting hitched
to another woman and selling
"Dragnet."
1t was II am. of Monday
when my stakeout on Friday
paid of. I caught him fiatfoote6
in his Office. He seemed willing
to talk.
I'm glad you've asked me for
the facts" he replied. IT'S bet
ter than calling up my worst
enemy and saying. What have
you got on Webb?'
| First. let me say that /
haven't sold 'Dragnet.' One of
my partners. Mike Meshekon,
sold his interest to me. I now
own rs per cent of the stock and
my other partner. Stanley Meyer,
has the other 25."
One hundred TV "Dragnet"
episodes have been shot. Forty
of these remain to be released.
The sponsors option calls for 95
more to be made.
Il want to start the new
Pete Kelly's Blues show on TV
next fall, and if the public will
accept me in the title role. I'll
get some one else to play Fri
day." said Webb.
There's no trouble between
me and Police Chief Parker.
When we got a new mayor and
police commission, they just
wanted to know about my ar
rangement with Parker. An in.
dividual can't make q contract
with the police commission. It's
all done on a handshake.
| - -
Webb is UNDERSTANDABLE net
tied at all OF the rumors con-
corning hts private life. "All
I've tried to do is entertain the
public and grab a little happi-
ness. Naturally, I haven't any
plans for marriage now.
| There's still a nine months
wait before my divorce becomes
final. I've been going with Dor
othy Towne, and may marry
her in the future"
Recently, Webb had his T.
year-old daughter: Stacy. down
at the Walt Disney studio where
he films "Dragnet." They spent
part of the day viewing many
Of the old Disney cartoons. His
second daughter, Lisa, IS only
IL months old and the ex-Mrs.
Webb Julie LondonD believes
Lisa is too young for such Junk
cts now.
I'm no angel, but I still can
look 1T myself in the mirror
when I shave" Webb said. I've
had a long talk with the spon-
sor Of my 'Dragnet' series about
all of this. but believe me, it
was no inquisition."
Evidently the sponsor lust
wanted the facts. too. Webb is
convinced that most of the car :
ping of the gossipers is the ma.
tural end result Of attaining
success m Hollywood. Il guess
when a guy gets close to the top,
the poison pen letters are bound
to start coming in.
1--WE had a vacation now. ana

Stan and I are going to do a

The Saar problem is looming
larger as an obstacle to the
American goal Of rearming West
Germany.
With considerable elation.
Secretary of State Dulles persu-
AIDED the recent nine-power con-
ference in London to agree on
plans to rebuild West Germany's
armed forces.
The celebrating that ensued
has ignored a joker that wasn't
even in the small print of the
London agreement. It was q pro-
viso that France made all by it
self. French Premier Pierre
Mendes- France simply stated
that he would not ask the French
Assembly to ratify the London
agreement until France and Ger
many settled the Saar question.
Centuries Dispute.
That could be q large order.
For centuries, the Saar has been
in controversy. Since World War
I. the dispute has been intense
and almost continuous.
The question was-and still is:
Will Germany or France domi-
nate the Saar. or can some COM
promise plan be worked out?
The Importance Of the area
probably justifies the Franco
German rivalry that flares as
brightly as the Saar's steel fur
naces. The Saar is a valley along
the Saar river. 1t lies between
France and Germany. It is small
only 982 square miles, or
slightly smaller than our small
est State of Rhode Island. But
it is powerful industrially.
It's coal fields are among the
richest in Europe. Production is
about Is million tons annually.
It has iron ore. too. The two are
fed into mills that turn out
about one-fourth as much steel
as>all of France.
Might Would Be Equal.
If France controls this pro-
duction. the French industrial
might about equals Germany's.
But If the Saar output goes onto
the side of Germany, the Ger
mans easily dominate French
industry.
Thus it was that after World
War I, the Saar went under

Guilty Of Contempt,
Author Prefers Jail
BY The Associated Press

LIVE OAK. Fla, Oct. g.
Circuit Judge Hal w. Abrams to-
night convicted Author William
Bradford HUE of contempt on
charges growing out of the 1852
pistol Staying of DR.. c. Leroy
Adams. a white physician, by
Ruby McCollum, colored.
The judge fined Mr.. HUE $3.50
and costs. He told the writer
II he did not pay he would be
sent to Jail for six months.
Mr.. HUE refused to pay and
was jailed.
Judge Adams agreed to medical
examinations for HUE while he
is in custody. The defense said
he was not in good physical con-
dition and Mr.. HUE explained
he had low blood pressure and
had to take medication.
State Attorney William r.
Slaughter said this was the first
case of this nature in Florida
and the Judge remarked. Il
never before had such an ex-
perience and hope I never do
again"
Judge Adams also told Frank
Cannon, attorney for Mr.. HUE
and Mrs. McCollum, that he
would give him until October %

an international basis. Now
that E. d. c. is dead, o new ap-
proach Is needed.
Sounds French Proposal.
Mr.. Mendes- France has sound
ed the French proposal: Place
the Saar under the Brussels
treaty that is to be used to try
to regulate the arms production
Of West Germany after 1t re-
arms. Mr.. Mendes- France has
not detailed his program. It is
aimed, however. at furthering
the old French goal OF keeping
the Saar industrial production
out Of control Of the Germans
lest they strike out once again
on the road Of aggression.
Mr.. Mendes-France and Mr..
Adenauer are scheduled to start
talks on this problem late this
month.
Mr.. Adenauer, like Mr.. Men
des-France. is not ready to give
details Of his position. It may
be influenced up to the last hour
by domestic political pressures.
But the least he will ask is a
progressive lowering Of tariff
and other trade barriers so that
Germany can do more business
with the Saar. Even this would
require Germany to give up its
political claim on the Saar. and
that might be hard for any
German Chancellor to do.
u. s. Tries to Be Aloof.
Until these problems of emo
ton and hard-headed business
are solved, however. Mr.. Men
des-France is pledged to oppose
French approval of the London
agreement for rearming Ger
many.
The United States, anxious
over the difficulties that lie
ahead, is trying to be aloof from
the controversy. The dispute
primarily is between two of
Americas allies, so the United
States probably would lose with
one side or the other If it inter-
vened at this time.
State Department officials
thus won't breathe q word about
the problem. That is another
way Of saying these Americans
are holding their breath lest
this age-old Franco German RI
valry again thwart United
States plans for the defense Of
Western Europe.
