Of Broadway are Jackie
Gleason, Walter Slezak and

with the same stars appear

I've been asked, What is it
like being a producer?" said
Merrick, beating me to my
question. And / replied" he
told me, ITS like being a
playground supervisor.
Really DInicult
Nov, take Jackie Gleason
he really is very difncult.
The day after his smash hit
in Take Me Along "a Mer-
rick Production, he wanted
out from the Show-the day
after 1t opened! Luckily, we
had q years contract with
him. but he's been complain
ing ever since. All he wanted
was the acclaim. Most of
them only want that; they
all want to sign for three
months. Elizabeth Seal (the
big hit Of Merrick's Trina La
Douce) wanted to sign for
three months. We have her
for 10 months. i've just had
the same argument with Phil
Silvers-he stars in DO Re
Mi in December. He finally
agreed to sign for two years."
To go back to Mr.. Glea-
son: This was really unbe-
lievable." continued Merrick.
Jackie actually requested
one weeks vacation after
every three weeks that he is
in the play" The request
was refused, which could ac-
count for some of the tension
between the star and the pro-
ducer.
Girls Are Great
How about the women
stars, do they give you any
trouble?" I asked, and re-
ceived an emphatic NO.
That's the big surprise,
whenever I've had trouble,
it's been with the men. L

both absolute gentlemen.
Walter is more like a gen.

"How soon do you know
that you have a flop or a
hit?" was my next question
to the producer, who has

his six years on Broadway

Mr.. Clements told the Tax
Court the claims were wholly
in error, and that he was in
fact entitled to refunds for the
years 1852 through 1866 be-
cause of losses on farm opera
tions in Union County, KY.
The suit disclosed the former
Senator had filed claims for
these refunds, and that the In

ceeded to make an inventory of
his assets over a period going
back to 1948. The service based
it's claims for additional taxes
on a finding that Mr.. Clements
had a net worth of $32,605 in
1948 and that this grew to
1892, ,349 in 1856.
Mr.. Clements asserted that
his income for all of those years
was fully disclosed in his re-
turns which he described as
true and correct in all par

in some instances to take all OF
the deductions to which he was
entitled" He asserted that he

The Internal Revenue Serv-

Mr.. Clements, who is now

EN- ROUTE WITH NIXON,
Sept. 22.-Vice President Nixon,

Senator Kennedy has been
distorting the facts about
Americas military and eco

He said speeches by the
Democratic nominee stressing
this country's weaknesses are
being exploited by the Com

The Republican nominee

Several thousand heard him

airport welcome included Nickie

nervously stepped back from
Nickie's lowered head and said:

publican nominee kept up a
running attack against Senator
Kennedy in speeches yesterday
