On the Air
Tvs Dr.. Baxter to Expound
On the Joys of Reading
By Harry Macarthur

The giving of aid and comfort
to the art of reading is not what
you have been conditioned to
expect of television. There is, in
fact, some justification for ex-
pecting just the opposite. There
Is some support for the theory
that televisioIl is the greatest
blow to befall the written word
since joey Adams.
Aid and comfort. however, are
precisely what CBS-TV is pre-
pairing to give the art of read
ing. It will do this, starting next
Sunday, in the 6 pm. half-hour
from which Eric Sevareid is va
cationing. The program will be
DR.. Frank C.. Baxter's Nov and
Then"
DR.. Baxter, as you no doubt
know, is the University of South
ern California professor who won
nationwide renown and a num-
Der of awards via televised col
lege course on Shakespeare. He
made it so lively that he picked
up thousands of extracurricular
eavesdroppers in fight from
the routine television fare avail
able in the Los Angeles area.
He will turn again to Shakes
peare for the premiere of his new
network program. too. building
it around excerpts from Ham
let," king Lear" and Twelfth
Night" Some familiar (and
maybe some unfamiliar Shakes
pearean passages will be en-
ployed for what DR.. Baxter calls
"a declaration of faith" about
the joys and excitement of read
ing and books in general.
The English professor will not
confine himself to this favorite
author, however. Nov and
Then" will have a flexible for
mat. allowing DR.. Baxter ito
range at will through the great
writings Of all ages" It's aim
will be ito recall viewers &C
quaintance with selections they
have enjoyed previously" the
announcement reports.
The programs further aim will
be to remind viewers that they
have a place in and a relation to
history, are the heirs Of all the
excitement of the past, and the
participants in the events that
will become the history of to-
morrow" This is a fairly lofty
aim. To achieve it, DR.. Baxter
will range from the ancient
Egyptian Hymn to the Sun"
through literature up to such
contemporaries as Dorothy
Parker and Carl Sandburg.
The written word is being
given a boost in another tele-
vision area, too. AS has been
noted here before. the xiv tele-
film series based on Herbert A.
Philbrink's IT Led Three Lives"
caused AN immediate squirt in
the books sales when it came
on the air last September. Gros-
set and Dunlap reports the in
crease at 800 per cent. What's
more, 81 Led Three Lives" re-
appeared, last November on the
Saturday Reviews list of most
ln-demand library books. It's
been there ever since.

The discovery of a "new" dis

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-06-12

The VietS had visited the Wet
NameSe army training school for
non-commissioned officers. They
knew that all the students did
physical training early in the
morning. They waited until
everybody was at the soccer field,
dressed only in shorts. Then
they attacked the guard.
500 to 600 Captured.
The next thing they did was
to collect all the weapons stand
ing in neat rows alongside the
field. And finally they drove the
five or six hundred aSpirant-
SergeantS out of town and dis
appeared with them.
And that happened only a few
hours after the general had re-
marked that Nam Dinh looked
so quiet and safe to him.
But the worst night ever
spent in Nam Dinh was New
Years eve. 1858. My husband
was already in Diem Bien Phu.
AS he was afraid that the
Viets might try to take me pris-
oner he had insisted I go to
Hanoi. I packed up and moved
into a suite in the Metropole
Hotel.
That last day of 1853 went
back to Nam Dinh, however, to
take some presents to the
wounded in the hospital. Every

closed properly. Besides that. a
hundred and one other things
were out of order. The garden
looked like a jungle. with snakes
crawling through the high grass.
I spent weeks cleaning up the
place. Repairs were done. The
walls were painted. A group of
Wet Mini prisoners cut the high
grass and killed the snakes. ]
planted flowers and vegetables.
and had the ruined garage re-
built.
After that nobody recognized
our house.
Christian went often on opera
tionS as there was much to be
cleaned up in this zone. I stayed
behind to run the house. I also
organized the local Red Cross
and took care of the wounded in
the military hospital. And I ad-
vised how to make other army
houses look a little bit better.
I was never really afraid when
I was alone but was always
glad when Christian was back
home. After all, it was not very
safe in Nam Dinh, especially not
after dark. That was the reason
I never left the house in the
evening, not even to visit friends
across the street. My husband
had strictly forbidden to do that
Almost every night there was
shooting. Fortunately there was
a guard around the house, but
that was no guarantee for safety,
Gave Dinner Parties.
Between operations Christian
was home. Then there were often
dinner parties and other official
| functions. One dinner I re-
member very well. It actually
was after Christian had turned
over the responsibility Of the
zone and had taken command Of
the first groupement mobile.
That night a general fresh
from Paris was our guest Of
honor. The others were all Of
ficers who had spent considerable
time fighting the Viets. They
knew from their own experience
how the situation was. Over
coffee and liqueurs the genera
remarked that he did not under
stand why everybody always sale
that Nam Dinh was such ar
unsafe place. To him it looked
perfectly quiet and safe.
The others did not say a wore
of protest. They just listened
We played bridge till almost
three o'clock in the morning
Then everybody went home. A
few hours later we woke up
There was shooting but it did
not sound as if our weapons were
firing. Later in the day we
found out it had not been ours,

body was very excited that day.
It turned out that the VietS on
Christmas Day had managed to
take 80 Foreign Legionnaires
prisoner. They had tied their
hands behind their backs and
shot them in cold blood.
Our troops had discovered the
bodies and taken them to the
hospital. The news spread quickly
through town. Everybody was flu
rious and longed for revenge.
That night there was more shoot
ing than ever before.
Alone in House at Night.
I was alone in that large,
empty house on the perimeter
Of the town, listening to every
sound coming my way. I admit ]
did not sleep very well that night
and that I was glad when it was
light again. However, that was
of course nothing compared to
what my husband and the men
with him have been through in
Diem Bien Phu.
I was in Saigon at the mo-
ment the big attack on Diem Bien
Phu started. That was on Satur-
day, March Is. Gen. Navarro had
invited me several times before to
come down to Saigon for q
change of atmosphere. I had al
ways declined his offer because
wanted to stay close to Chris
