On the Air

Busiest item around the TV
studio in New York where Max
Lehman prepares his color spec
taculars for NBC is couch. And
you can wipe that smirk right
off your face; nobody Is asleep
on the job.
This couch is a SIS second
hand job purchased by Mr.. Lieb-
mans production assistant. 1t
received it's first TV punishment
at the hands-or feet-of the
volatile Betty Hutton. She broke
two springs Tin the couch, OF
course) while executing her
wildcat Smathers" number in
"Satins and Spurs"
Now it's getting a different
sort of daily workout from Ann
Sothern, as she rehearses the
color show, Lady in the Dark"
scheduled for Saturday night
telecast. Much of Lady in the
Dark" is concerned with the
heroine's psychiatric problems,
as related to her psychiatrist.
And you know what gets the
wear and tear in a psychiatrist's
inner sanctum. In this one it's
that SIS couch. ~r''- s.l.
You have to shave the expenses
somewhere when you're spend
ing 100000 on a"&television
show.
IN HIDING - The only other
item at hand today about Lady
in the Dark" concerns the sad
plight of the actor playing the
half man half woman in the
circus dream sequence. His
wife, fearful that his friends
would recognize him, insisted
that he turn in his resignation
knowing that she also insisted
on eating periodically. he refused
to do this, but did implore Cos
tune Designer Paul Dupont to
conceal the male half Of his
face in full beard. Had to
compromise on a handlebal
mustache and his spouse has hel
fingers crossed already. If that
TV camera pauses too long with
her husband in focus, its opera
tor had better be prepared tc
leave town.

The Travellers Notebook
Summer Brings F orecust
Of so Million Vacations
By Jacques FutrelIe. Jr.
me Stars TFavsl EdiioF

Coincident with the release Of
youngsters from school come
predictions that q record vaca-
ton summer Is in prospect. The
forecasts come from not one but
many agencies concerned with
judging the vacation volume and
preparing to take care Of the ir-
resistible tide that starts to swell
in late June.
For instance, the Keystone
Automobile Club says a booming,
splurging start already has been
made. and it "holds virtually
certain promise of new records
being set for the number Of
travellers, for overall mileage
and for money spent"
The American Automobile As
ISOLATION gets specific in fore
casting an increase Of about 10
per cent over last summer. On
the basis of an extensive pre-
season survey, the AAA estimates
that so million pleasure travellers
will go forth by all means Of
transportation.
The American Express Co.,
which publishes a monthly sur

has cut the fatality rate to 4 per
100 million miles. That's better
than good.
Soturction PotFoIs
And here are some Of the ele-
ments in bringing about the de-
creased toll:
Saturation patrols, established
just before Labor Day last year
on U. s. Sol, a major North
South artery. This system sta
tons a patrol car every 10 miles.
Their presence makes drivers
more conservative-and safer
and patrolmen are ready to take
after the unwary.
Radar, which has been in use
since 1852. But another little
electronics device has been added
the speed watch. This consists
of two black cables. laid across
the highway 1872 feet apart. I'M
pulses of a passing car signal the
speed, with the assistance Of a
patrolman parked a short dis
lance away. There are 80 such
speed watches in the State.
A variation of the speed watch,
less expensive and effective in a
sly sort of way, is the dummy
speed watch. There is no pa
trolman and no mechanism for
these, but they help slow down
Speeders to legal limits.
100 Unmarked Cors
Unmarked patrol cars mingle
with the traffic. The State put
100 of them in operation last
September. They have standard

travel industry-and % States
now list the tourist business as
one Of its top three industries
seems headed for new records.
You Are Counted
Figures on mass travel would
appear at first glance to be
something Of concern only to
economies and business. But on
closer analysis. they affect also
the individual person and family.
For you, the vacationer, are in
cluded in the statistics, your in
tention$ to travel are likely in

less you are one Of those rare
individuals firmly resolved to go
nowhere for relaxation and di-
version, a record year means
you are almost certain to be
planning some sort Of tunket,
possibly two.
AS suspected. the overwhelm-
ing majority of vacationers will
60 by car, within the United
States. That's what the AAA
says, with impressive figures Of
past years vouching for the
accuracy of the statement.
Further. the AAA ventures the
prediction that the volume OF
foreign travel, particularly to
Europe, will be at record heights;
that air travel will show a sharp
increase both at home and
abroad and that most summer
travellers will be bargain con-
SciouS.
Greater Spending Abroad
Signs of new records also are
reported by American Express.
Escorted European tour sales are
well ahead of last year, for one

thing, and the amount the 49,
900 Americans win pour forth in
Europe In 1854 is expected to ex-
coed the 1908 million they spent
there last year.
StateSide, the company survey
reveals that travel inquiries at
State tourist information Offices
and reservations are 10 to so per
cent above last year. Also. that
an. estimated so million visits
will be made to the $50 areas
under the National Park Service.
The figure was slightly under
46.3 million last year.
More to Alosko
Other highlights Of the survey
show:
Alaska expects q 20 per cent
tourist increase over 1858.
The Caribbean area reports in
quirieS, up nearly so per cent.
At least $4,000 Americans will
motor through Western Europe.
Irish hotels had 10000 Amer

many more this year.

Danger Ahead

three-day holiday combinations,
exactly like Memorial Day, when
at least 355 persons were killed
in traffic accidents over the
United States. AS of this writ
ing. the National Safety Coun-
Gil has not made public. its esti-
mate of the number who will
die July 3 through S, but a good
guess is that it will be higher
than that for May 1881. That
toll estimate was exceeded.
Perhaps the average driver has
sized it up and knows that speed
law violations is a major single
cause in the highway slaughter
that makes news throughout the
year and headlines the morning
after a holiday hinge of killing.
Anyway, the unsafe driver is
bringing sitter enforcement
upon himself. And he is not 60
ing to like it when it cracks
down, whatever it does for the
rest Of us.
For instance, he is likely to
feel that such a highway safety
program as North Carolina has
imposed is an unwarranted
abridgment of his rights" Ar
rested there, he is likely to cry
out that he was trapped.
Whether or not the North Car

STANDARD Adopted by Record Makers

ton of America recently an
nounced approval of a standard
characteristic.
The new characteristic repre-
sents a compromise between the
most popular already in use.
The bass turnover will be about
500 cycles and the treble roll-off
1877.
The uniform characteristic
will make it unnecessary to
change control settings on high
fidelity phonograph equipment
when switching from record Of
one label to another. It is not
yet known whether all compa-
nies, including those in Europe.
will adopt the new standard.

Major American recording
companies soon will begin max
ing their records with q uniform
recording and playback charac-
teriStic.
When recordings are put onto
discs treble is generally boosted
and bass is reduced. When the
records are played back. con-
trolls must be set to restore the
bass and reduce treble. The en-
gineering standards involved in
this process are called the re-
cording characteristic.

Wives Needn't Fear Looks
Of Hi-Fi installations

Hi-fi needn't be a headache
for the hi-fi addict's wife. To-
day. in fact, it can be as easy
on the eyes as on the ears.
It's no longer necessary for
the harried spouse to be un-
nerved, day in and day out. by
the stark sight Of the hi-f1 COM
ponents her husband has as
sembled speaker. amplider,
preamplifier, tuner and turn
table, to say nothing Of possible
tweeters (the better to hear the
highs) and woofers (the better
to hear the lows), along with
assorted wires.
Partly as a result Of pressure
brought by women who wanted
both happy husbands and hand
some homes, many attractive ar
rangementS are possible today.
Some take a leaf from the i'm
aginative custom built plans Gre
ated for music lovers not pinched
by their purse, which conceal the
equipment as much as possible,
while music pours through the
room. 1t is not unusual for ar
chitects to devise wall in which
the equipment can be set. Deco
rators, too, make room for high
fidelity, concealing it architec-
turally. or housing it in fine old
or well-designed modern fur
niture.
Try q Bookcase.
Buyers of moderate means can
find cabinets in several price
ranges designed specifically to
hold their equipment. Or they
can make their closets, book
case units, old desks or dry sinks,
breakfronts or credenzas do
double duty as repositories for
muSicmakerS. In the modern,
do-it-yourself mood, some build
room dividers. bookcases or fur
niture for the purpose.
One way in which good music
including an electric organ
can be integrated into an effl-
cheney apartment is demonstrated
in Miss Jane Benefits aparta
ment at the State House, 2122
Massachusetts, avenue NV. The
plan was worked out by a friend,
Robert ToSch Of the Federal
Communications Commission.
Mr.. ToSch used q closet to
house the speaker in order to
handle the space problem the
one-room apartment presented.
Speakers require several cubic
feet of space as inclosure in
order to operate effectively, and
the closet takes care of this.
The original door was removed
and replaced with one that cost
q few dollars. The speaker is
mounted on the inside Of the
door
Remote Controls Used.
For decorative purposes. a reed
hoop frames the speakers grill
cloth, of woven plastic. which is
flush with the door outside. Mr..
Tosch fashioned an ornamental
cleft and staff on the speaker,
also.
The controls are at the other
end of the room.

coming from a little distance
away" Mr.. Tosch said. "By
breaking it up, you have the
sound where you can hear it best,
while the controls are con-
venient."
This system eliminated the
cost and space required by q
tone cabinet for the organ. The
organ is. attached to the hi-fl
system. as are the radio and
phonograph. A television set
could be attached later.
The main amplifier is in a low
unpainted bookcase next to the
organ, concealed on the bottom
shelf behind a cloth hanging

record player. Records are kept
on top Of the book case. On the
end table next to the bookcase
is the pre-amplif1er. covered
with a straw cloth, and, on the
shelf below, the tuner.
Wires Are Concealed.
The wire runs from q hole bored
in the bottom of the closet door,
against the wall Dashboard,
around the kitchen, which is at
right angles to. the wall, and
across the dressing room floor,
where it Is covered by throw
rug, to the rest Of the compo-
nents. 1t is camouflaged with
masking tape.
Mr.. Tosch, an engineer who
described himself as more or
less Of q hi-1l FAM" used two
record cabinets for housing his
equipment in his own apartment
in Southeast Washington, one
for the speaker. the other for
the other components. He in
stalled q system for another
friend in which he used the
same cabinet that covered the
water meter to house the speaker.
Corner Speakers Favored.
A separate speaker. placed in
q corner. is usually most effec-
tive. All-in-one arrangements
can be quite satisfactory, how
ever. Along with more expen-
sive all-in-one cabinets. one firm
has an unfinished modern ma
