WEBB NOT BITTER
He's Back in Movies
But Eyes TV Again

to be released, is THE Last
Time I Saw Archie" which
he produced and directed and
in which he co-stars with
Robert Mitchum.
He's Ambitious
The movies Webb is making
would have to be classified
as B pictures, but this fact
serves only to give him a
justifiable ambition.
"Dragnet was an important
television show" he said.
Nov I want to make an i'm
portant movie"
His answer as to whether
or not he is ambitious be-
yond the extraordinary is a
kind of brooding, far-away,
wry smile.
We'll, I enjoy working"
he said, land if I get very
enthusiastic about something,
I'm likely to stay at it. I've
been working since I was 16.
You get in the habit. But
I had an ulcer when I was
in my twenties so I've learned
to pace myself.
Began In Radio
Webb started In radio in
San Francisco in 1945, as an
actor and an announcer. He
made the big step south, to
Los Angeles, four years later,
and, in 1850, Dragnet went
on network radio. For sew
eral years it ran Simultane-
ously on radio and television.
He said he had originally
wanted to be a radio writer,
like Norman Corwin, but
nothing seemed to come Of
that, so he turned to acting.
II really had no great wish

NEW YORK.-Jack Webb
is not a bitter man. He's
a cockeyed optimist. He's
out in the wings, waiting to
go on again.
Three short years ago,
Webb was a power and an
influence on televiSion. AS
the producer and star of
"Dragnet," a top-rated show
on NBC-TV from 1851 to
1858, he had his turn as a
national hero.
The kids initiated the
clipped, short pronounce
ments of Sergeant Joe Friday.
The throbbing tones Of "dum
da da dunn" were an instantly
recognizable theme music.
News magazines wrote of him
as the American television
success story, hard-driving
right to the top.
He followed Dragnet with
two television flopS, one after
the other. pete Kelly's
Blues" lasted only 13 weeks
and "Noah's Ark" had q SIM
ilarly short-lived fate. Fail
ure is never easy to take and
public failure is much worse,
especially for q man with q
Seven-year run Of success.
He's Not Bitter
Webb. however. has moth
ing nasty to say about the
medium which fed him so
very well.

said. "I wouldn't hit a child.
Television is still young and
it's not for me to beat on it.
! think It's In a terrible slump
right now, but, If we're pa
tient, it will begin to grow
again."
At the moment he is making
a living making movies but he
hopes to return to television
in another year.. He has
bought the rights from Faw-
cett Publications to make an
anthology series out of True
Magazine stories.
I'm not going to rush this.
I'm going to take my time
and get very polished scripts,
give it the best production,
do everything perfectly. I'm
shooting to get on the air in
1882"
Meanwhile, he says he is
very grateful to television for
opening the movie doors to
him. His current movie, about

US. to Conduct
 Project Gnome''
 Nuclear Explosion

! President John Kennedy an. nounced that he has approved the conduct of a nuclear experiment known as Project Gnome" which is a part of the Atomic Energy Commissions Plowshare program to develop peaceful uses for nu- clear explosives. Preparations for this project, the first nuclear ex- plosion in the Plowshare program, have been underway since March of 1860. This is further example of this country's desire to turn the power of the atom to mans welfare rather than his destruc- tion.
 The project involves the detona- tion of a nuclear device about 1,200 feet underground in a salt formation near Carlsbad, New Mexico. The date for the exneri- ment will be fixed by the com mission at a later time; however, it now appears that it will occu in about 60 days.
 The project is a multiple pur- pose experiment designed to pro vide scientific and technical in- formation on: CD the possibility of recovering useful power from the heat generated by nuciear explosion; C, the feasibility of recovering commercially or sci entifically valuable isotopes pro- duced by such explosions; (3) neu- tron physics and other scientific theory; t4) effects of nuclear explosion in salt; and t5) design principles useful in developing nuclear explosive devices speci- fically for peaceful purposes. The United States will welcome observers from interested United Nations countries as well as news
 media and the scientific com munity.

 He described it as "the most meticulous and detailed flint work anywhere in the world" They were not content with ordinary engraving tools but developed needle-pointed Hints with which they worked stone so intricately that it must be examined under magnification to be appreciated.
 A characteristic of the Hints of the Denbish culture is diagon- ally notched points, with saw toothed edges.
 Nothing quite like them ever has been seen in America" Dr. Giddings said. He compares them with finds made in archaeological digs in Dei.rsrK and Egypt.

BRISTOL, RI. M A Brown University anthropologist has cal lenged the popular scientific theory of mass migration eastward from Siberia through the Arctic regions of North America and on to Greenland in ancient times.
 On the basis of studies in Alas ka's Bering Strait region, Dr. J Louis Giddings said yesterday he believes there was no great move ment of Asiatic peoples across the land bridge that once com nected Siberia with Alaska, as other scientists and their text books long have maintained.
 There was a circ u m polar spread" or s'drift" of ideas and methods freely across the Arctic region all the way from Central Siberia to Greenland but no great movement of peoples in the pre- else definition of migration" pr. Giddings is convinced.
 He has dug up evidence of strong and almost unbroken oc- cupation of, cultures in Western Alaska dating back to 4,000 BIC. and Dr. Giddings is convinced that ''the same gene pool" has continued in that region for at least 5000 years.
 Spread is the answer, and not migration" the Brown scientist declared 2. a press briefing on his past four summers of archaeo- logical research. The briefing was held at the Haffenerffer Museum of the American Indian, where Dr. Giddings and his associates are processing some 15.000 man made objects accumulated in Alaskan excavations.
 Scientific textbooks, he said, have taken two views of the theory of migration out of Asia, Some talk in terms of people on the march. packs upon their backs, to promised land. Others consider that there was no move ment in hordes but tricklinf movement eastward, impeded by

JUNEAU R = A new problem almost as lnotty as the closing hours dispute which exploded in 1859, is swirling around the three man Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
 It has also enmeshed many re- tail liquor dealers in the western portion of the state.
 Basically, the problem is this:
 Does a retail liquor license give the licensee the right to ship liquor to purchaser in another area, including "dry" area?
 Liquor dealers in many areas of the westward have long en- gagged in the practice of making retail shipments of liquor by air, both on prepaid and COD basis.
 But, Superior Court Judge Hugh Gilbert said in recent statement in Nome that the only legal liquor sale is made in liquor store.
 While apparently directed pri- marily at COD sales, Gilbert's statement left the liquor dealers wandering in a twilight zone.
 First of all, Gilbert's statement does not constitute legal prece- dent, it was merely a dictum, a

1 statement of law going beyond the requirements of the case then before him.
 His comment was only incl dental to a case not involving the states liquor laws, but rather case involving larceny. l It gives an indication of Judge Gilbert's views on the subject of liquor sales, but it is not binding on any other co.1rt. Also troublesome for the deal- CTS is the fact that the states liquor regulations are extremely vague on the point in question.
 Tn regulations dealing with dry areas, it is very clear that no liquor may be sold in such areas. But, the law is silent as to whether liquor may be shipped or transported into such areas if it is purchased elsewhere. Another Question
 This brings on another question. one well known in dry areas of Alaska and in areas where there are no retail liquor stores. If shipments of liquor from legitimate dealers are stopped, will bootlegging increase, along with exhorbitant prices to the purchaser?
 One airline operating in west ward Alaska, on the advice of it's attorney, is accepting retail liquor shipments as usual.
 Thomas N. Martin, manager os a liquor store at Nome, summed up the problems the dealers face i'll the following comment in a letter to the Alcoholic Beverage. Control Board:
 sThe retail stores cannot af- ford the loss of business, but neither do we want to put our i licenses in jeopardy"
 l Martin suggested test case
 The ABC Board said it would no'
 recommend that anyone violat'
 the law
 In an effort to clarify the situ ation, the ABC Board has tents lively scheduled what is describe
 as series of informal, fact-find 2 ing hearings during the fir.
 week in December.
 Board Chairman Bill Ray (
 Juneau said the hearings will b : conducted in Nome, Fairbank Anchorage and Juneau, on date still to be selected.
 If a person in a dry area wher N no retail liquor stores exist send .. if1oney to a liquor store in anothe area and orders liqu0 sf1ippe' to him, does the business trans
 action actually take place in th,
 liquor store?
 That is where the actual trans 1 fer of money from buyer to seller 2 takes place, even if the buyer
 does not receive his merchandise
 at that time.
 l If such dealing does repre- i sent a legal business transaction 1 in the liquor store and yet it is
 illegal to ship liquor purchased 1 in such manner, are in-town deliveries of liquor illegal too?
 Is it illegal to order liquor from retail store by phone? | The practice of bootlegging is
