81 don't understand it," the Sundance Kid
said. We've had no publicity, no advertising
and, come to think of it, no scripts, but the
overnight Arbitron gave Hotel de Paree rating
over The Moon and Sixpence'"
Not only that, but we're the strongest CHS
show that night That's a commentary on
something" SO.
What l want to know" he continued, "is
what happens when we do get the promotion
and Hotel de Paree begins to look like the show
we had in mind when we Started?"

Cover Story
How Adult Is Adult?

"Sundance" of course is the TV monicker
of able young actor Earl Holman, whom you
may have seen in two-man drama with Sessue
Hayakawa two seasons ago, to name one TV
appearance, and in featured roles in more than
20 movies.
He's his own best critic, too.
"The first really good script we had was
for an episode called "A Rope for Hanging
That's been our big problem so far-scripts.
Really, If you read some of those that have
been turned in-unbelievable. They're high
schoolish" }
Another complicating problem in getting
Hotel de Paree started properly was the
attitude Of the first producer assigned to the
series. He didn't like the format," Earl said,
$50 he proceeded to do it his way"
The chap is gone now and Earl has hopes
Of getting Sundance in proper perspective, de-
spite the difflculty of working with different
writers each week.
He was as bad as he was good" says Earl
of his character. He wasn't good looking and
he wasn't the fastest draw When he finally
came up against the heavy, you had to figure
out-'Whats in it for him.? that he should
risk his neck"
Another complication: Censorship.
I'VE had one scene where l rescued a girl
from an oaf who was clobbering her. 1 took
her to her room and kissed her. Then we
dissolved to another shot, of my dog trying to
get into the room, then back to me and the girl"
The censor said we couldn't kiss and dis
solve. That's the same censor who doesn't mind
how many people we stab, shoot, hang or BUSH
whack. How can you do an adult western If
they don't let you be adult?"
If anyone works it out, I've hunch it will
be hoffman.
He's single, incidentally, lives in house,
and takes things easy at the moment because
he has to. He came out of hospital (hepa-
titis) to start shooting Hotel de Paree and the
exhausting work permits no extra-curricular
activities

1853 Raise
In Fuirfux
Is Studied

A proposed 4.56 per cent
across-the-board pay increase
for county employees is being
considered by the Fairfax
Board of County Supervisors.
The raise, which would
amount to a one-grade increase
in the pay plan, was recon-
mended by a Falls Church con-
sulting firm. The firm was re-
tanned last February. by the
supervisors to study the salary
schedules for all employees ex-
cept school teachers.
Consultant James o. Yarger
reported that the general pay
raise would cost the county
about $287 900, including $780,
600 for some salaries that would
be jumped two grades.
In the proposed 1959-eo
budget now under study by the
supervisors, $150,000 has been
included for pay changes
Final action on the budget has
not been taken.
If the pay raise were APP
proved, the various depart
ments would be asked to alb
serb the difference between
budgeted funds and the cost
Of the raises in their operat-
ing budgets, according tc
James D. Keyes, county budget
and personnel director.
Mr.. Yarger reported that ar
overall 4.56 per cent increase
with some employees getting
twice that, is necessary to keer
Fairfax County's salaries ir
line with those of neighborine
Jurisdictions.
The special two step in
creaSes, amounting to 9.12 pei
cent jumps, were recommended
for librarians, public health
nurses, county agents, fire
marshals and some other posi-
tons.
Mr.. Keyes said the super
yisors probably will discuss the
pay suggestion shortly after q
May 4 public hearing on the
$34.6 million proposed budget
for next year.

are convinced that this coun-
ty cannot afford the additional
expense Of changing to the
6-2-4 internediate) system
and that thAre - no real edu-
cational benefits to be derived
from such . change"
But the Supervisors 'NEe I'M
decided as to whether 1t is
politically expedient to require
the school board to aban-
don the 6-2-4 plan," Mr.. Will
liams said.
He urged that all county tax
payers get the Supervisors to
request the School Board to
abandon this unwise and ter
ribly expensive plan. -

Arlington Sci
To Shift Tower

Residents Of the Rock Spring
area OF Arlington appeared last
night to have won their battle
against a 65-foot air raid siren
at Twenty fifth street and North
Glebe road.
Civil Defense officials, at a
special meeting with civic asso-
citation spokesman. church off,
Gals and County Manager A. T.
Lundberg, agreed to move the
tower now on the grounds of
the John Marshall Elementary
School to a secluded. wooded
area about three blocks away.
The new location is on the
old Doyle property east Of Old
Dominion drive and immedi-
ately south of Twenty-Sixth
street. The land is now being
purchased by the county for
construction of proposed York
town boulevard.
They'll be plenty of room
left for the tower" Mr.. Lund-
berg said.
CD Proposes Site
The deadlock broke when
Paul White, the Civil Defense
official who called the meeting
to try to resolve citizens objec-
tons to the present site, sug-
gested the new location himself.
IF we have to move it," he
said, this (the boulevard site)
would do the job" He told the
gathering that the Doyle fam
lily. the closest residents to the
new location, do not object.
Objections to the school site
centered around complaints
that the siren is an eye-sore
and lowers nearby land values.
The school board, on February
20. asked the Government to
move it.
