Cover Story
Eds Secret Is Out
BY BERNIE HARRISON


1t was Joe E. Lewis that eminent tragedian
OF the tracks, who remarked after Ed Sullivan
had lavishly introduced him on his show:
THAT Sullivan. Ever notice when he leaves
room-how it lights up?"
The audience roared, and leading the
laughter was the man who was once dubbed by
another performer THE Great Stone Face"
Ever since Ed first appeared on TV, in the
spring Of 194S the show folk have been playing
that popular Quiz Game-"What Has Ed Sulli-
van Cote"
Reaction Is Clue
American magazine May issue) Joined the
fun with an article by Jack Long under the
heading, 1.-THE Amazing Secret of Ed Sullivan"
1t strikes this observer that Eds reaction to
Lewis hilarious line is good clue as any
to the mystery-if 1t is mystery-of the mans
success.
At the recent Friars' Club testimonial to
Ed, an event that he regards as one of the big
moments in his life, Helen Hayes put it another
way:
Am the only one who knows the answer?
Surely not-surely all the people who have
worked with Ed know what he's got. Apprecia-
toni It's one of the rarest, most wondrous of
Gods gifts when it's real-and Eds is. He is
so aware of talent-so struck with the splendor
of it-so altogether stage-struck in the true
sense of the phrase, that one actually feel it.
1t comes shining through that inarticulate face.
those chewed-up words, and the cold mechanics
of the televison set.
Stands There AglOw
"When Ed asks a performer to go on his
show he doesn't gush, he doesn't say much at
all, but he's standing there aglow with his
special gift of appreciation and 1 guess we'd
all follow him through fire for that"
Long Tin Americana writes that there
many reasons" for his phenomenal success and
that 1.-The first is that he is contrary Irishman

States. "a
Such visas usually are highly
priced in Central Europe.
officials offered a variety of
explanations today for the lack
OF demand at consulateS for the
ViSaS.
The main one was that most
of the 10000 refugees in Austria
are being held at transit camps
and cannot reach consulates to
make their applications.
Another was that Sweden,
Belgium, Holland, Switzerland
and other West European coun-
tries are eagerly recruiting i'm
migrants and the Americans
don't want to interfere.
Many Of the refugees are
skilled workers, eagerly sought
by West European countries
where there is an acute labor
shortage.
A large part of the refugees
do not want to go too far away
from home. cherishing what
seems now an unfounded hope
that Hungary may throw of
the Russian yoke.
Still others want to join rela-
tives in Western Europe, mainly
in Austria and West Germany.
The West European nations
have offered new homes to a.
500 Hungarian refugees.
