On the Air
Hidegorde And Anna Air
ApprovoI of Ed Murrow
By Horry Macarthur

Some of the more diverting
reading is to be found in the
theatrical, or have-tuX-will-
travel, ads in the trade journals.
For years a great many of these
have been based on the theory
that a booking agent would
rather read someone else's mail
than his own.
An entertainer who is at the
moment free and willing to un-
dertake a job of entertaining
seldom is that blunt about it.
Instead he takes ad space in a
theatrical publication and in
serts therein what purportS to be
a letter from the manager of
the Casino de Paris in Altoona,
thanking him for bringing in all
that business.
All sorts of letters and inter-
Office memos are employed in
this dodge. Some are even
marked CONFIDENTIAL" but this
signifies only that the adver-
tiser is confident that more peo-
pie will read it. It does not
mean that the message will be
stunned, as we saw that letter"
Stunned on television last week
***
The latest example of this
branch of the literary art takes
up two run pages dead center
in last weeks Variety. It's aim
is, or was, to call attention to
the fact that Hildegarde was to
make her TV debut last week
on Edward r. 4Murrow's "Per-
son to Person" (WMAL-TV-
Friday, 1O:30 p.m). The ad is
an exchange of memos between
Hildegarde and her manager,
Anna Sosenko, who undoubtedly
arranged this date for her. The
first, Hildegarde to Anna, reads:
"I'll be looking forward to my
first national television appear
ance on May Z when Edward R.
Murrow interviews me from my
New York apartment on his
Person to Person show. I love
the show. 1t has a warm infor-
mality, and a wonderfully re-
laxed ad lib quality about it.
It's really a show of charm and
distinction.
LAS long as I am at home and
also around the music I love
so much, do you think that Vic
tor Young and Stella Unger
would let me sing May Your
Blessings Be Many despite the
fact that it is part OF the Sew

which the local authorities can use as
a guide. They are always overload
ed with details and immediate
problems.
We need major improvements in
the way of recreation facilities
swimming pool, youth center etc. We
need long range prograH for our
streets, the Grade School, and the
water system, to say nothing of the
electric problem! We are usually
stymied at the start by the thought
of cost. But if WI look carefully
it becomes apparent that all of our
major needs are Vell within easy
grasp if we will only put our should
er to the wheel. Costs are insignifi-
cant as compared with advantages
gained.

taxes, utility rates, ETC., but when the
facts are faced we should be Ashamed
of ourselves. The total amount of
income taxes paid in one year by this
community would easily pay for all of
the needed irnproveu6 tents listed

the word debt" but when properly
used toward investment in our future
welfare it can pay Iexcellent divi-
dends. Few people object to prices
when they get good results.
For too long, we hs a community
have plodded along in a "slip-shod"
manner. 1t is high time we were
waking up to our responsibilities and
potentialities. Why mot work out a
positive program OF progress and
make our community an outstandinp

LETTER TO
EDITOR

Dear Sir,
Having become rather deeply in
volved in the present controversy
over our Electric system l have also
become rathef shockingly aware of a
more serious condition that we as a
community Should face squarely. The
electric system "hassle" is only sec
ondary in Importance but it focuses
our attention upon the major issue.
No mattel which way the power
problem IL settled we will have ac-
complished little if we stop there.
/ refer Ito the marked degree of
apathy, Indifference, intolerance etc.
that is "shbwing US up". accuse no
one more than myself but we are all
guilty. We are no worse than any
other community. We are well above
average in my opinion but when you
stop to appraise our potentialities it
quickly becomes apparent that we are
falling far shbrt of our goal. In fact
that is the big problem-we have no
goal! We have no constructive plan
or program We do not see beyond
our noses. I'VE are content to drag
along idlyf and passively-drifting
with the ctrrent!
We get Slightly worked up over an
election-dhoose a handful of men to
run thingS for US. Then we sit back
and do little but criticize. Seldom is
there a Iord of praise or gratitude.
Next elecAion we change few names
and go through another cycle-get-
ting nowhere or at best not very far.
1t is becoming more and more diff
cult to fine capable men who are will
ing to face the grief and responsible
ties of pubic office. Our attitude is
nearly always negative instead of
positive. We are always tearing down
and not bothering to build something
more worth while. We accuse our
public servants of .laziness, inefficien-
cy ETC., but are we not being just as
guilty by neglecting our responsible
ty? We take all We can get but give
little in return.
We have just witnessed the celebra-
ton of half century of remarkable
progress Of our major industry. We
stand in awe as, we review its many
accomplishments We like to share
the credit. and ,glory-hut how much
of it do we really deserve? In civic
matters we are tagging behind where
as we could and should be out front
too!
AS a community we have ample
manpower andTexcellent "know-how".
We should not be content to sit idly
by, satisfied that we are doing as we'll
as others. We should be leading the
way, setting an example for others to
follow.
AS we look back into the past, sew
era individuals stand out because
they have made noteworthy contri-
buttons toward community improve
ment. Now it is more difficult for
individuals or small groups to ac-
complish mudh, but a properly organ
lied effort can become powerhouse.
More specifically refer to the form
alton of a laf fge group of capable men
and women Who are civic minded and
interested enough to serve as MEM
bers of a planning Commission"
The present Community Progress
Association could serve as nucleus
but a larger group would be more
satisfactory. They should make a
careful study of community needs
and lay out basic long range pro-
gram, covering various phases of

Fortress Wounded
Continues Today

HANOI, Indochlna R - Evacua-

Phu had climbed today to ITO men
as helicopters and light planes kept
up their steady shuttle to the cap
tured fortress.
A French Press Agency dispatch
received in Paris said about 12O
more wounded were expected to
arrive in Hanoi today.
Despite the slowness of the hell
copter lift, the French hoped to
complete in less than two weeks
the removal of the 753 wounded

lease.
French military sources said
they knew nothing about rebel
plans to release Diem Bien Phu's
lone French air force nurse, Miss
.Genevieve de Galard TerrauSe, as
announced by Vietminh spokes-
man in Geneva yesterday.
!; Here in Hanoi, friends of the

pressed belief she would remain
at Diem Bien Phu, nursing the
wounded until the 753 are flown out.

day.
Mundt had just come from a
closed door talk with Mccarthy,
but he said this had not been dis

Mccarthy himself has Left In
doubt what course he might follow.
He contends his size faces a
stacked deck" situation because
of President Eisenhower'S ban on
testimony from government Off
Gals about confidential talks with
in the administration on the Nc
Carthy-Army row.
Mundt said he plans now to 60
ahead Monday with hearings and
that 81 wouldn't anticipate any

A reporter asked Mundt about
speculation that Mccarthy might
refuse to participate in the re-
sumption.
"Do you expect Mccarthy will

asked.

guess yes" Mundt said, but en-

was only about Is minutes away
when two small girls were rescued
from the refrigerator in their
home.
Sheriff Arthur Hobby made the
estimate yesterday in telling how
Mr.. and Mrs. Earle Lawrence
Slaughter returned home and found
their sand 7-year-old daughters
imprisoned in the box.
The girls related a strange man
and woman came to the house and
locked them up Tuesday, but the
sheriff said be wondered if the
youngsters weren't Just trying to
escape punishment with that story.
The parents came in fromthe
tobacco field and noticed some re.
frigerator shelves and food on the
floor. Quickly they opened the box
and found their daughters. One girl
had a bruise on her back and the
other was Ill.
The sheriff searched, for an old
model green automobile in which
the girls said the strange man and
woman were riding.
