Well, fine-but one could OBJ
serve that it would have been
a far, far better thing had he
read the script Of his dull show
with the same meticulous care
and sent it back to the writer's
for wholesale corrections.
There wasn't a real laugh
until about 20 minutes or so
of the hour had passed and re-
liable Don Knots appeared as
the host of your "Re-Run
Theater," the opening bit in a
skit reviewing the summer sea-
son on TV.
Segments of this could have
been sharper. too-particular-
ly the Miss America lampoon.
The show opened with a
razzle-dazzle Hollywood : type
number on the parking lot OUT
side the NBC studios in Bur-
bank and it was as silly as any
thing we've ever seen on any,
body's show except Sid Cae-
sar's, where they are strictly
kidding. Steve came out and
agreed with one and all that it
was a pretty ridiculous" affair.
A nice touch, this. reading
our minds, but the chief vir-
tue of admitting that you've
opened the show with a blunder
is that it conditions the audi
ence to expect more Of the
same.
And that brings us to the
Allen company report OF the
Khrushchev tour. This is a hot
subject for comedians at the
moment and some of the gags
are amusing and even wise.
There wasn't a laugh in the
overly broad Allen skit, how
ever, which missed the logical
points on which a routine might
have been built, Mr.. KS folksy
illusions, for example.)
Steve's guests included the
Nikolai Dancers and weak
voiced Tab Hunter. who went
over much better in a beauti-
fully photographed outdoor Sc
quence.
Let's hope Steve gets back
on the ball soon and writes a
few hot memos to the staff and
himself. There are very few
comedy shows on TV this. year
and we're depending on the
Imaginative Allen Company.
AS for the book plug, which
he said would be an occasional
feature. hope he evolves a way
of projecting his enthusiasm

he was trapped by a biteless

Subject Of VACATION
Minor crisis in the Jack and Daisy cIeIond family

Last year HE chose Chicago With an
obvious lack of enthusiasm she says: 1T
was the hottest week in July. The children
saw where daddy was born, where he grew
up, the gas station where he used to play,
the spot where he watched freight trains"
He says 1T was educational for the chill
dren. They visited Fort Dearborn, or the
building that occupies the site of the fort,
rode the subway and saw the Cubs lose
double-header to San Francisco" But it
wasn't all peaches and cream and
wound up in an ultimatum about this
years vacation. For both viewpoints on
this touchy family matter, be sure to read

When Carl Madonick, New
York Assistant Attorney Gen
or9' w charge of the States
Bureau, and five of
his staff members burst into
the Wall Street Office of some
stock swindlers recently. all
they saw was a room about Is
by 10 feet in which were sitting
a man who identified himself
as the president of the firm.
and a girl receptioniSt.
Behind the man was a wood
en- panel, and it was obvious
something was going on behind
that wall. Mr.. Madonick an
nounced, This is a raidi" and
specifically requested he be
allowed to investigate. When
the man finally consented to
open a concealed door in the
panel, it revealed another room
about 20 by 10 which had an
unmarked separate entrance. In
this room were IL men using
telephones.
New York Attorney General
Louis J. Lefkowitz' men had
found another boiler room
so called because the noise of
the men using the phones and
the pressures of their sales spiel
are reminiscent of a boiler.
From this boiler room the high

What happened?" I asked
Mr.. Madonick.

that firm from ever operating
again in New York" He paused
"Of course. they may move
across the river or somewhere
else and set up shop. But
they're at least out of New

ing on studies OF the problem.
But, officials said today, these
studies now have shown that
it is impracticable to build the

engines that haul trains in that
area.
Accordingly, the three trans

equipment will be moved south

District Highway Department
and the Pennsylvania Railroad
have an agreement whereby
highway rights over the rail-

The plan is to move the trans
