NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The
characterS-or reasonably ex-
act facsimiles-have been seen
for a thousand and one nights
Of teleyision, but MICS new 90
minute sThe Virslnian" may
add some new life to the old
West.
One wonders how the pro.
lducers can maintain a fast pace
while turning out, in effect, 9
full4length film feature a week
but the opening show of the
series last night was interesting
and offbeat.
All that is left Of Owen Wis.
ter's novel. are the names
Neither the virginian. played
by James Drury, newcomer
nor Judge Garth, his, ranch
owner boss. played by Lee ]
Cobb. had much to do last
night.
The interest conferred on the
guest stars. Hugh O'Briar
played the mysterious. aveng.
ing stranger as If he had never
heard of Wyatt carp, and Col
leen Dewhurst was a frus-
trated spinster schoolmarm
Both were excellent.
The program opened with a
hanging. off-camera. but the
story Immediately became an
obvious tale of vengeance.
The series. handsome indeed
in color, ought to attract a big
audience.

popular hit on his hands.
On the telephone, he's a
dandy interview, mainly be-
cause he answers good ques-
tions whether you ask them or
not.
Tn glad you asked that, I"
Mitch said yesterday.
Il was silent trying to re-
member what I'd said0
"a critic in Milwaukee said
that many of his readers want
ed to know why they should
watch the show when they can
turn on the hi-fi, or the radio,
and hear the music they want
to hear. when they want to
hear it." Mitch continued. The
answer is that people wanted
to be transported-from here
and now; that's what our show
does is open doors to the past.
The letters we get prove it;
some of them would be maud
lin if they weren't so beauti-
fully written"

off to a great start with his
Second City program-an en-
tertaining departure from his
usual discussion shows and his
second last Sunday (on Al
bany), provoked heated pro and
con from viewers. 1t should be
fairly obvious by now that
Susskind is constitutionally un-
able to serve merely as a host
or moderator; that If he feels
strongly about something land
people like that are rare and
needed, he promptly injects
himself into the debate on the
side he favors. What he should
have done, in q case like last
Sundays, is invite a third mem
Der for the other team, and ask
someone to moderate in his
place. Albany's articulate. in

didn't need Susskind at all to

A Che WASHINGTON eissf| issRf|z MERRY :RouND kH1--X sy DREW PEARSON
George Washington set precedent on military infu- ence Eisenhower reafmed principle; Rockefeller lady friend returns to husband.
sy DREW PEARSON

w olN otll oiIo Thurmond of South Carolina and other right wingers who want to put the American military ahead of civilian government should read little book. Washington Bowed ' by the ex-governor of Maryland, Theodore McKeldin
 McKeldin served as governor at Annapolis in the oldest state house in the nation, where Gen. George Washington relinquished his com mission as commander of the revo- lutionary army.
 The civilian branch of govern ment. history records, was at that time woefully weak. 'FThe Continen- tal Congress was without prestige" Governor McKeldin writes. "The people had virtually forgotten that national body existed. The pre- ceding summer this national body had been obliged to flee from Phila- delphia by reason of riots staged by disorderly soldiers demanding unpaid wages
 The country was ripe for the same kind of military upsurge that now endangers France.
 But on Dec. B, 1783, General Washington resigned in a ceremony carefully arranged to reaffirm con- fidence in civilian government.
 It was stipulated that the mem- bers of congress would remain seated and would keep their hats on. They were not to rise or to un- cover to General Washington. When. however, General Washington had become MT. Washington, then the congressman were to rise and lift their hats. But even then, they were not to bow.
 They were to maintain their superiority to Washington, whether he were soldier or civilian"
 Washington carried out this die ttlm to the letter.
 At every point" recounts Gov- ernor McKeldin, he conformed to the rules of the congress, whose members were keeping their hats on in his presence. And so the cere- mony ended and Washington was General Washington no more.
 The congress did finally rise and uncover as a sign of respect to him. And then Washington performed his first act as private citizen.
 It too was recognition of con- gress authority. He bowed"
 Eisenhower Warns
 Dwight D. Eisenhower. a military man for 42 years, gave a somewhat similar bow to civilian government in his last message to the American people. On Jan. IT, 1861, three days before leaving office, he warned that never before had the United States had both great standing army and a great industrial war machine.
 "This conjunction of immense military establishment and large arms industry is new in the Ameri- can experience" he said.
 We must guard against the &C., quisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought by the military-industrial complex. The po- tential for the disastrous rise of mis- placed power exists and will persist.
 We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. Only an alert and knowledgeable II

citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals
 That warning was issued one year ago. A few months later, when Sen. William Fulbright of Arkansas pointed to the manner in which in- dustry was infiltrating military seminars with it's own propaganda- exactly as Eisenhower warned-the preventive war clique in the United States began to beat the tom-toms against Fulbright as if he were a Communist.
 That clamor has subsided in Ar kansas, where Fulbright appears to be stronger politically than ever But it is long way from subSiding in Washington.
 Rockefeller Romance
 The lady for whom Gov. Nelson Rockefeller was willing to divorce his wife and relinquish his chance to be president of the United States now seems to have gone back to her husband and is living very happily with him.
 The lady, wife of a doctor who is employed with the Rockefeller Institute, was reached last week at her New York City home. She had just come back from a cruise to Bermuda with her husband and their children. Her husband was liv- ing in the house with her and came to the telephone. There appeared to be no problems between them.
 Assuming that appearances are ac- eurate, the question is: Where does this leave Governor Rockefeller?
 The public did not realize it at first, but it was the governor, not Mrs. Rockefeller, who initiated the separation. Mary Todhunter Clark Rockefeller, his wife of 31 years, had been in love with her husband, her children, and her life generally. She was not anxious for a change.
 Impecunious Governor
 For eight years, the governor of New Jersey, Robert B. Meyner, lived in a beautiful colonial home in Princeton, built in 1701 by the family of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
 The governor of New Jersey is one of the lower paid state execu- lives, and the estate, called 'Mor- ven,' was given to the state as the governors residence by Walter Edge, former governor and senator from New Jersey.
 There Governor Meyner lived, not extravagantly but comfortably, with his wife Helen. They had sufficient servants to trim the spacious lawn and keep the two-hundred-year woodwork waxed and polished
 Today, the ex-governor of New Jersey has moved to a small, unpre- tentious house in Princeton. His law practice, which he has just started, is uncertain. The big New Jersey industrialists who once sought his company seem to have interest elsewhere these days.
 And his wife, Helen, has no ser- want. She will bring in cleaning woman twice a week, otherwise do the housekeeping herself.
 Such is political fame-especially for a governor who doesn't feather his nest while in office

s countries AaSelisn "a sa"f State Board System FarciaI -.
 In l959, inc First State Legislature enacted State Organization Act ideally suited for Alaska. The measure established 2 principal departments, each headed by single individual appointed by the Governor and con- firmed by the Legislature.
 The lines of responsibility were clearly drawn The Act provided much insurance as egslatiVey pos sibe against the empire building tendencies Of profession al bUfeaUcrdts.
 Under inc Act, if anything goes wrong any where in fhe executive branch of our State Govern menf fhen inc Governor, elected by fFe voters of Alaska, is responsible. # department head fails to
 adequately the duties of his office the Gov
 remove him.
 This system is far cry from the old Board System that made executive jungle of Territorial govern men Under that system, NO ONE WAS RESPONSIBLE EV- ERYBODY COULD PASS THE BUCK. MANY DEPARTMENTS WERE CONTROLLED BY THE PRESSURE GROUPS DIRECTLY CONCERNED. RED TAPE AND CONFUSION WERE THE RULE, NOT TIE EXCEPTION
 We will grant that no system of democratic govern ent be any better than inc people that charged with inc responsibility for running it. State Organization Act cannot work miracles by itself.
 In recent weeks. if has become obvious that
 Stare Legislature is beginning 10 bow to inc Alaskan pressure groups fhaf fondy remember inc old jungle of Boards that existed under Territorial government.
 ofScE THE DYKE $ OPENED, IT WILL BE ONLY A MAT TER OF TihAE BEFORE COMPETE EXECUTIVE PARALY-
 SIS SETS lN.
 If seems perfectly ridiculous to place Board that nees several times year, for few days each time, in charge of department that is spending many millions of dofars each month. In actual practice, single ndvidua appointed by the Board, is the who the show
 Under the Board System this Insulated" individual do just about as he pleases review of Territorial experiences proves this fact beyond shadow of doubt
 The people, through ther elected Legislature anc! eed Governor, have virtually nothing 10 say The peo- pa however continue 10 pay inc bills which eener- alH empire sized The pressure groups concerned wind U4having virtually everything to say. Y The Board System on the level of local govern Haent is different matter. Your City Council and tehool Board meet regularly and in close touch With what is going They levy taxes and perform
 nany other legislative functions in addition pro- kiding executive supervision.
 Not the State Ievel where we are already pay i for Governor and Legislature to do these very things ADest, the Board System provides additional red tape aT expsaslye dup iqatpn. ss aasss eaE Al worst, an insulated director and pressure group r4 things to their own Whm and fancy, while inc fax pays the mounting bills. f is sheer hypocrisy to say tH Board, meeting for few days each year, can run Ufim|ion dollar department of our State government
