Some Emmy Guesses

Wednesday is Emmy night 90 to II 80 pm.
WHC-4) and can forecast one reaction now
and with absolute certainty
AS the statuettes are distributed, voices in
nving rooms across the country win be raised in
TWO simple variations Of classic plant:
A. How in heck do they pick 'em
3. What numbskulls voted for that onel
Considering the thousand number Tv shows
telecast in season, their variety, and the
army OF performers and other talent involved
the reactions are inevitable.
They're even understandable, If you check
the how-what of the Emmy Awards.
The flaw in the operation is no slight one
Consider:
First of all, the more than 1000 members
OF the Academy Tin Los Angeles New York
Baltimore, Chicago and Washington are mem
bers of the industry-actors, directors, pro-
ducers, newsmen, etc. So far, ok
But then these members are asked to come
up with total of 252 choices (42 categories
times six candidates.! And in the order of
preference!
The tabulation of these selections produces
the second and final ballot Of nominees and it
Is this that Is sent to members for determine
ton Of the winners.
This is obviously an assignment requiring
the kind Of time and thought that few of the
members are in position to give.
1t may explain why show presented early
in the Academy year-like Orson Welles' "Foun-
tain of Youth"-was completely overlooked.
(Yet it won one Of the coveted Peabody awards)
Let's hope, in any event, that the show is
fun. This viewer win be playing one of his ia
vorite guessing games-picking the winner. In
the major categories, here are our choices:
Most outstanding single program: Fred

Attest Ruling
BringsAppeaI.

The United States Court Of
Appeals was asked today to
order the United States to halt
further nuclear tests.
The appeal was made by 80
individuals, including scientists,
churchmen. japanese fisher
men, residents of the Marshall
Islands and others.
Among the well-known plain
tiffS were DR.. Linus Pauling,
Nobel Prize-winning chemistry
professor at the California
Institute of Technology, So
cialiSt leader Norman Thomas
and British philosopher Ber-
trand Russell. The appeal
probably will be heard by the
court next fall.
The group asked the court to
overturn a ruling of last July
81 by United States District
Judge Richmond B. Keech. He
dismissed two suits, saying the
complaints failed to show there
controversy within the courts
jurisdiction. He held also that
none of the SO plaintiffs had
standing to sue.
On July "a, Judge Keech
rejected a request for an in
junction to halt further atomic
bomb tests by the United
States. At that time this coun-
try was conducting tests in the
Pacific. Such tests now have
been suspended pending the
outcome of East West negotia-
tons on control of nuclear test
ing.
DR.. Pauling, in the suits, told
the courts that best estimates
indicate that each year of test
ing nuclear weapons at the
then current rate was releasing
radioactive materials that will
cause serious damage to about
half a million children to be
born to future generations.

ployes to pay and less cost to
the Government.
Some subcommittee members
feel that the Government
should underwrite the major
medical feature-which involve
long and costly illnesses-for
at least five years so as to give
1t the experience and back
ground needed in contracting
with insurance companies to
later on take over the under
writing of the program.
In fact, some subcommittee
members feel that the Govern
ment could permanently un-
derwrite the major medical
portion of the program with
out giving the business to
private insurance firms. They
point out that the Govern
ment already operates the
medicare program for the
military, social security. etc.
However, the commercial in
surance companies seeking the
business of underwriting the
major medical program have
a powerful lobby. and the Sem
ate subcommittee has to con-
slider whether their opposition
to Government underwriting
of major medical Dement'S
would jeopardizes the entire
bills chance of passage.
The basic health insurance
feature Of the program would
be underwritten by the various
health insurance groups.
The subcommittee already
has tentatively agreed that the
cost of the premiums would be
split $3.50 by the Government
and its employees. Also, there is
agreement that there should
be a combined basic major
health insurance program. The
$50 deductible feature proposed
by the administration and OPP
posed by Government employe
groups will either be eliminated
or modified. And employees will
not be given a free choice of
insurance plans, but instead
will have their choice of three
or four plans.

WASHINGTON STORY
General Services Administra-
ton recently paid $4,000 to a
private consulting firm to adj
wise it how to better utilize the
space in its building, despite
the fact that the Public Build
ings Service is part of GSA and
does that type of work for the
rest of the Governments de-
partmentS and agencies.
The postscript to the story is
that the $4,000 went down the
drain, since GSA ignored the
recommendations made by the
private firm anyway.
