Cover Story
She Means Business
By BERNIE HARRISON

Betty White is obviously delighted with the
climbing ratings and the fan acceptance OF her
new Friday night ABC-TV situation comedy
series, but she's not satisfied yet. No Stree.
And if the producers of Date With the
Angels" are looking, they'd better get set.
Those deep dimples and that infectious
, laugh can be misleading. Miss White, career
GIRL means business.
In New York recently on whirlwind pub
licity junket, Miss White got an earful about
canned laughter"
The critics. almost to a man, deposed that
Miss White was a doll, the show was clever
but why, oh why, that intrusive, uproariouS
laughter that followed every line?
"There we go again." Betty said to me- 1.-THE
laughter isn't canned at all. It's live audience
and that's their reaction"
But she recognizes the difference in re-
Spouse between Give" studio audience and
two people watching a small screen in their
living rooms, and added
"Just give me few weeks. Well do some
thing about it. purposey stayed away from
this at the beginning. There were too many
other problems to take care Of But feel that
I'm going to have to get in on this thing because
I feel so strongly"
An honest girl, this.
Have another sample.
what about these pictures of you dating
such eligible men acknowledgement as Michael
(Cochise) Ansara? Are you Serious?"
"Oh. that" she shrugged, "that's just pub
LEFTY think I'm going to stop that. I'm just
not cut out for the social butterfly role"
There is a man in Bettys life-a TV director
with Hollywood agency named Rudy Belmer.
We've been dating for about five years and
sometimes we see each other often. sometimes
only infrequently."
Some notes about Betty and the show
How she picked Bill williams as her TV hus-
band: Hes wonderful man and lot Of fun
to work with. We wanted to make the show diff

Secretary Of the Treasury
Humphrey will resign from the
Eisenhower cabinet soon.
When he does go-and it may
be in a couple Of weeks, or he
may wait until after Congress
adjourns-there win be reports
to the effect that he is bitterly
distressed about the size of the
budget and he is resigning in
protest. Much will be said
about how frustrated" he feels
over his inability to put the Gov
eminent on a more businesslike
basis. Surely. there will be-
stories that Mr.. Humphrey has
lost influence with the President
and resents taking a secondary
role. :.
Most Of the stuff that will be
written along these lines will be
unadulterated nonsense.
! George M. Humphrey is leaving
Washington because the time
has come when it is absolutely
necessary for me to go back to
look after my own affairs"
He is resigning because he has
stayed in the cabinet more than
twice the length Of time he in
tended to remain, he Is now 81
years old, he has a lot Of energy
left to do the things he wants to
do and he has no desire whatso-
ever to Idle in this job" He came
to Washington with plans to stay
two years; he has remained more
than four.
j Mr.. Humphrey arrived in
/ Washington in January. 1858
Since then, he has gained rep
utation as the number one
strong man in the cabinet. His
comments about the budget on
January IS, 1957--the same day
president Eisenhower sent the
budget to Congress-set off the
current wave Of economy howls
His remark then that II spending
and taxes aren't cut lover a long
period of time, ! will predict
that you will have a depression
that viii curl your hair has be-
come world famous.
j Now he is going. What does
The really think about, say. the
budget running the Government

dent? In the following para.
graphs, you'll read what he has
said in private to friends, and
here you'll have the facts. moi
distorted poppycock.

Ito Washington thinking govern
lment can be run like q bushes:
is in for a rude shock. It CAM

\ 1T is very easy to say that
this or that should be done. but
J getting it accomplished is ar

how much you would like to DE-

bit done here and a little bit done
there and trying to keep on the
track as much as you possibly
can"
t2) The general impression
that Mr.. Humphrey would slash
the budget by billions today If
he had the chance is all wrong.
you must take into account
that we must move slowly in
order not to upset the balance
in the economy. You have a very
delicate machineain this economy
of ours and II you move too rap
idly on budget cuts, you can
readily upset it. It's like an auto
mobile going down an icy hill;
you can slam on the brakes and
wrap the economy right around
a telephone pole"
cd What was needed in jan
uary was an awareness on the
part Of the public, Congress and
the administration of the need
for economy so taxes can be cut
as soon as possible.
This is all Mr.. Humphrey tried
to create.
~ AS far as losing influence
with the President, Don't worry
about any published reports
about that" ! 2
During his stay in Washing
ton, Mr.. Humphrey has had his
share Of being misquoted and
misinterpreted. The last dose
viii come when he resigns.
But If he really believed what
many then will say he believes,
he would be an ignorant fool
and this he surely is not. AS q

at all in this area.
There Is still another system
which is attracting a growing in
Iterest. 1t is the cheat pump.
What 1t amounts to is a large ali
conditioning system which botf
cools and heats.
| The customary room air con.
ditioner has q refrigerant which
is compressed and which take
the heat out Of the air it blow
into the room. The refrigerant
with the heat taken from tn,
air then passes through wha'
amounts to a radiator through
which q fan blows, removing
heat from the refrigerant. TIT
air blown out the back of the
air conditioner is warm.
The heat pump carries on thi.
process on an enlarged scale. 4
cools the house in warm weather
and heats it in cold weather. TIT
warm or cold air is distributed
through ducts.
/ This is a heating and cooling
device in one unit. Being operat'
ed entirely by electricity M
chimney is required. No dust j,
produced.
4 Problem Cited
One problem is to provide suf.
ficient heat on really cold days
ITO accomplish this electri,
resistance heating coils are pro
vided which are switched OF
automatically when needed.
The initial installation cost o.
course. is greater than for a con

There are some installations Il

/ The advantage to an electri
power company is this: Sine
the development Of air condition

! Practically every compan,
which makes air conditioners !
