Benny's Director Believes
In Repeut TV Performances
HOLLYWOOD.

Ralph Levy, who produced
and directed "A Christmas
Carol" for the CBS-Tv Show
er Of stars" seen on the net
work Thursday night. says he
would like to confine his TV
activity to about six big shows
o year.
"It was q real thrill and
pleasure to sit down as long
ago as last February and begin
planning this Maxwell Ander-
son adaptation of "A Christmas
Carol" Levy says.
The young CHS director has
maintained for q long time
that it is too tough to do q
show a week for Tv. A couple
of seasons ago he was directing
the Burns and Allen" series.
Besides doing 40 Of those. Levy
also that year directed IL Jack
Benny TV shows.
He left George and Oracle
after that because he didn't be-
lieve he could do quality work
at that clip. This year his chief
assignment has been Benny's
show every other week.
as
But He Can't Prove II -
IT'S Levy's pet theory that
most Of TVS major programs
should be repeated for three
successive weeks. In other
words there would be only l3
Burns and Allen" or "I Love
Lucy" shows a season, instead
Of 80.
"Is believe each show would
get a bigger audience, because
the viewers could avoid the
time conflicts between shows
they want to see," Levy says.
He means by this that 1t
would be possible to watch
Lucy" on a Monday night.
then the following Monday you
could still catch the Medic"
episode which was missed by
watching Lucy" the previous
week.
Levy is confident that spon-
sors would reach more than
enough viewers over the three
week span to warrant repeat
ing each show twice.
"The problem Is that can't
prove my point statistically,
and no one is willing to risk
it. apparently" Levy says.
He admits. too, that such .
revolutionary idea would meet
resistance from actors and
writer's. because they obviously
would not make as much
money in such q setup.

feeling that they were being

Nevertheless, there Is merit

to the Levy plan. because H.
eight years Of Tv have proved
any one thing 1t is that most
Of us watch too much Of the
stuff any way. plus the fact
that the creative side Of the
industry simply can't be any
thing but mediocre on an every
week basis.
George Burns summed 1t up
once, when he was bemoaning
the passing Of the tank-town
vaudeville circuits and their
value to performers trying to
gain experience.

QUEEN ELIZABETH,s VISIT

Although many people will pay little attention to
the visit of Queen Mother Elizabeth to the United
States, the Queen Mother is a remarkable woman She
performed her duties and made many sacrifices for her
people during World War II.
Once before, in 1889, when the world was on the
of she and her husband then King George vi
visited the United States Since that time the Queen
Mother has lost her husband and seen her daughter be-
Queen.
1t can rightfuy be said of the Queen Mother that
she has conducted her life in such way as to have re-
maned example to her people She has gracefully as
sumed the role of Queen Mother though she is not
yet old and has been very active in many ways
since the death Of King George vi.
Although we think monarchies are on the way out
in this world Of believe the British ruling family
perhaps closer to performing service and fulfill
ing need of their people than any other ruling family
of major power. And though believe monarchies u.s.
ualy not worth their cost to the Taxpayers in this
case of the Royal Family in Great Britain we believe
their members their keep to extent of eighty
pieces of luggage including fivefoot high trunks brought
over to the United States on this recent trip.
Having once spoken briefly with the Queen Mother
and her daughter attest to the fact that she
a normal woman, as gracious could expect and
certainly possessor of the touch The people
of the United States doubt have high regard for the
elder Elizabeth and welcome her once again to the United
States

Guilty Or Innocent?
BY ALTON L. BLAkESLEE
AP Science Reporter

NEW YORK IA multimillion
dollar search is getting under way
to find the answer TO this question:
Are cigarettes guilty or innocent
as a cause of cancer, heart dis
ease or shortened life?
Numerous laboratories and agen-
cies, here and abroad, are conduct
ing ii. The search viii lead into
strange byways.
II should in time produce enough
evidence to give yes or no answers,
to the satisfaction of almost all
physicians and scientists.
One phase is a research program
by the Tobacco Industry Research
Committee, starting with an initial
half million dollars. This week its
scientific advisory board, headed
by DR.. c. c. Little, Bar Harbor,
Maine, announced the first of six
grants totaling $4,000 for research
projects.
This advisory board says no one
has yet proved a definite cause
and effect relationships between
cigarettes, cancer and heart dis.
ease. II has mapped broad pro.
gram to cover studies of humans
and human lungs, smoke tests on
mice, human habits jobs and geo
graphical differences, the effects
of inhaled smoke on animals ner-
vous systems, blood vessels and
lungs, and to make analyses of To-
bacco.

To others, there seem to be Sc

other explanations; in short, lack
of sufficient proof.
DR.. Little, for example, says the

DR.. Little says he would like 10
see answers sought TO such ques-
tons as effects of smoking on the
nervous system, whether there are
differences in the nervous or other
makeup of smokers and noKmok-
ers, or smokers of pipes or cigars
compared with cigarettes. What
makes teen-agers start to smoke? =?
What kind of person may tend TO
smoke moderately or to excess?
More tissue studies, more analyses
of tobacco and its components also
are under way.
One theory of cancer is that
some cancers. at least, come only
after years of irritation. This is
The Key West citizen., 1954-11-12

one reason for suSpecting smoking
in lung cancer. But, DR.. Little asks,
is this because of the irritation, n
because the person himself or his
body tissues have changed during
the process of aging?
Time enters into the cigarette

evidence is clear enough now; that

that this is so. The others say not

That could become one Of the
great. positive values from the cur

Meanwhile, smokers can decide
