ing of foods adequate nutrition,
ally and totaling 1400 calories
per day will be illustrated in de-

People will see that "a cups of
whole milk, a large breakfast, a
comparatively large amount of
protein food are characteristics
of the diet. Other committee

when Art got the candidates on
the show, told 'em it was all a
big. joke. and let them see how
silly they looked by playing back
their filmed interviews.
This was one time. however.
when our emcee found that peo-
pie are serious. Herb Lytton, the
actor who posed as the DR.. Faulk-
ner of the advertisement, played
his role to the hilt.
Only one of the 80 people in
terviewed thought that there was
something queer about the pro-
posal. and he did not think it
was a gag. but some kind of a
con game. He reported it to the
police.
Seven of the applicants de-
cided on the spot that they we're
willing to make the first trip to
the moon in the interest of
science. Most of them were coll
lege graduates, and took ''Dr.
Faulkner" at his word.
A Mrs. Gladys johnson, 54 and
a grandmother. said. Where's
my hat,-let's CO." after being in
formed of the venture. 1--WE lived
a full life, and it might be even
more interesting on the moon,"
she added.
None Of those volunteering was
the least disturbed about the
possibility OF its turning out to
be a one-way trip. DR.. Faulkner
pointed out to, Maurice Gurko.
q cab driver, that he might not
be back for Christmas.
''I don't care" he replied.

over two hours. In this instance
the candidate wanted all Of the
particulars, and Lytton (Dr.

fiction fan, was happy TO I'LL
him in.
When Art saw the Aims Of
these interviews, he knew his
gag had backfired. It would have
been cruelty to humans for him
to parade these unsuSpecting
moon pioneers onto his show and
then yell April Fool!" or some
such barb.
So he called them together
and explained that the trip to
the moon was on, but that he'd
be happy to give them each

Pulling practical jokes on peo-
pie doesn't always turn out to be
funny. Probably more aware Of
this than anyone else is a fellow
by the name of Art Linkletter.
As the ringmastey Of 12-
year-old show called People Are

he has found that the descriptive
adjective funny" frequently
cannot be applied in its literal
sense.
Recently Art went to elaborate
pains in setting up what he and
his cohorts believed would be a
hilarious stunt. The results will
be seen on the people Are
Funny" TV show November 81
over NBC, and heard on the
radio version tomorrow. But it's
a different show from what Art
had planned.
This particular stunt got under
way when Art inserted a small
ad In local newspaper. It read:

LAS VEGAS. New, April g.
A Federal grand jury has indict-
ed Publisher H. M. Greenspun
of the Las Vegas Morning Sun
on a charge of mailing copies Of
his newspaper containing an
article on Senator Mccarthy,
Republican. of Wisconsin. which
tended to "incite murder or as
sassination."
The true bill, announced yes
terday by Federal Judge Roger
T. Foley contained copy Of a
column Mr.. Greenspun wrote in
the Sun which said:
Senator Joe Mccarthy has
to come to a violent end but
I would hate to see some simple
ton get the chair for such a pub
lie service as getting rid of Nc.
Carthy."
'MuZZling," Publisher Says.
Mr.. Greenspun, a bitter and
outspoken critic of the Senator.
said in Los Angeles when told
Of the indictment:
"We were just performing. our
duty to our readers to keep them
fully informed of the dangers
that threaten their Government
and their way Of life. If Nc
earthly has any claims against
me, he has his remedy in civil
suit. But to pressure Govern
ment agencies is just another at
tempt to muzzle a newspaper
which has been critical of the
junior Senator from Wisconsin"
Mr.. GreenSpun said the COLI
umn was "facetious" and added:
IF you read the whole column,
you can see that it's a joke. On
the other hand. I've made some
very serious charges against Nc
Carthy. Why don't they attack
me on that basis?"
Will Surrender Today.
He said he would fly back to
Las Vegas today and surrender
to Federal authorities. He
termed the indictment "ridicu-
lous" and said he will ask its
dismissal.

cept in cases specifically ap-
proved by a Federal judge.
Under the House bill. wire
tapping without court approval
is not illegal-the evidence gath
cred is merely barred from adj
mission in Federal courts. This
is the situation in present law.
Senator McCarran said today:
II still think my bill is the
better bill. My bill would declare
wire tapping illegal unless the
Attorney General could show
cause and get an order from a
Federal judge in a specific case.
All other wire tapping would be
against the law"
Senator Wiley has introduced
a bill closely paralleling the orig
inal bill introduced by Mr.. Keat-
ing in the House. Another bill,
introduced by Senator Potter,
Republican, of Michigan. would
permit wire tapping in virtually
any case where national Secu-
rity interest could be shown.
