until the great mans masterpiece
hits the stands.
Trouble is, it never does. In
fact, the only comic who told his
fans he was writing a book-and
he was-is Steve Allen, the man
who closes the store for NBC on
weeknights.

Steve's bland philosophic gen.
ordinations (which he commits
on his program as welD are
hackle-raiSers of the first chop.
He gets of it rather quickly,
though, and when he concen-
trates on his 16 comedians, he is
informative, perceptive and most
readable.
Why he wrote the book isn't
quite clear. He explains it this
way:
II hope that, after you read it
you 1Uiu haze a better under-
standing OF the comedians you
match on TV. II you driUe q
truck or sell insurance, / think
this book 1Otll make you more
tolerant. II you are a profeS-
Sional critic, I hope this book nil
make you more humble" ED
note: Not a chGnce.J
Anyway, Steve argues at length
for his fellow comedians and his
chapter on the tobogganning

minating. The others are on Fred

Steve is better with the come

contract which, the in
dustry said, would provide a
1873 -cent-an-hour package wage
boost for the $4,000 strikers in
the first year. The union esti-
mated the offer at IA cents an
hour for its men who had aver
aged $2.46 hourly.
The decision to resume peace
talks raised the question here
that the industry might now be
preparing to present a formal
revision of its contract proposal.
In the discussions here last week
the best Information was that no
concrete proposal had been made
by either side but there were
discussions on a three-year con-
tract.
Seeks 15-Cent Boost
At one time. Mr.. Mcdonald
was overhead telling a Federal
mediator he was fighting for a
15-cent hourly pay increase and
time and one-half pay for Sun
day work. Steelworkers have
been paid straight time on Sum
days.
The discussion of a three
year contract apparently origin
ated with the industry and the
union was cool to the idea.
Arthur Goldberg, USW counsel,
said the union did not regard a
three-year contract as a con-
ceSsion" because the union had
never signed a contract for
longer than two years and that
with a wage reopening clause.
AS the strike went into its
fourth week-and more than
100000 in allied industries were
furloughed-Steel Magazine said
the heat will be on" to end the
walkout soon. 1t declared that
unless the strike is settled before

vention, which starts August 10
