O'HERLIHY PUFFS WITH PRIDE
OVER HIS HALF-PINT CO-STAR
By FRANK JUDGE


~ who came close to winning
an Oscar himself, Kurt
Russell, his little co-star in THE
Travels Of Jamie McPheeters," could
travel up the road of success and win
an Oscar someday.
He has the potential to be the most
popular child star since Jackie Coo
gam" 0'Herlihy says with a trace of
his native Ireland in every syllable.
Kurt goes to the same school at
MGM that Elizabeth Taylor, Judy
Garland and Mickey Rooney attended.
He's just IL, and has been acting
only about a year."
Kurt has indeed been travelling fast.
He landed the title role in "The Trav-
els Of Jamie McPheeters," ABC's
expensive bid for early Sunday eve
ming viewers, after he had been acting
just five months.
Kurt takes it all in stride, with a
smile and a shrug. To him-a 400 hit
ter on his Pony League baseball team
IA star isn't to be found on teIevision,
except during a baseball telecast.
Baseball players are the real
stars" the youngster says.
It was his fondness for baseball that
led him into an acting career.
His father is Bing Russell, a former
baseball player who turned to acting.
He appears now and then as a deputy
sheriff on MICS Bonanza"
when Kurt heard that Mickey
Mantle and Roger Maris, of the New
York Yankees, were going to do a
movie, he begged me to take him
over for a casting interview" the
father recalls. Kurt wasn't interested

heroes"
Kurt failed to land that role, but
soon the combination Of his natural
talent and his fathers skilful manage
ment had gotten him small parts in
"0ur Man Higgins" Dick Powell
Theater" and Dennis the Menace"
A few months later he landed the
titIe-star role in THE Travels of
Jamie McPheeters," television YER
sion of Robert Lewis Taylor's Pulitzer
Prize novel about father and his son
heading West to join the California
Gold Rush.
Whether the series will faithfully
follow the novel is doubtful. The pro-
Queer, Don ingalls,, quit because. he
charged, ABC was turning the show
into a juvenile Wagon Train"
0'Herlihy likes his role. But the man
who received an Oscar nomination for
his title role in THE Adventures Of
Robinson Crusoe" in 1854 is fighting to
keep MGM and ABC from changing
the television character.
He plays his role of DR.. Sardius
McPheeters as a combination Of Dick
ems Mr.. Micawber and the Artful
Dodger.
o'HerIihy says he will eat his Nc
Pheeters' stove-pipe hat three
inches taller than incoIn's"-before
he'll make McPheeters respectable.
Kurt never has any hassles about
his role. As the only actor in television
with an actual contract clause allow
ing him to knock off work to play
baseball, the lad is too busy dreaming
of someday replacing Mickey Mantle
in centerfield for the Yankees.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

The use of dogs to control collegs
students on spring hinge in Virgins
City last weekend brought a little
bit of the South to the West along
with the Centennial Spirit, and II
doesn't seem the department of the
college kids was much better than
that of the authorities at the other
end of the leash who also became
pSychiatrists and fiscal specialists
planning the 1865 University appro-
priation for the Legislature.
1t sounds like good idea to use
dogs as blood hounds, for detection,
or shifting, as it is more commonly
known in the canine circles, for we
all know a policeman's equipment is
more pedestrian than proboscian, but
the use is getting out of hand.
An article in the Congressional
Record points out dogs are getting
to be a more common control method
all the time. Besides being used in
Alabama they have recently been
used in Providence, Rhode Island to
block an invasion of the downtown
area by several hundred youths, many
of them college students on spring
foray; and in London against ban
the-bomb demonstrators.
Dogs are used against people in
large groups because of humans in
nate fear of them" according to a |
spokesman for the International AS
ISOLATION of Chiefs of Police. At some |
point ''human innate fear'' will be |
replaced by a reaction completely |

The Goldwater BoomIet

If the Democrats were allowed Il
name the COP candidate with whom
they would prefer to compete in 1861
that is, the Republican least likely
to succeed-they would unhesiating
ly choose Barry Goldwater of Arizona
Although the personable Senator
from Arizona is himself something OF
realist and may fully understand
why so many Democrats look approx
| ingly on the 'tgroundswell" of Gold
water sentiment, the simple facts of
political life have not yet trickled
down to his followers.
The rank-and-file is now experienc-
ing the Goldwater glow, a wonderful
state of airiness, a sort of political
euphoria that blends with pre-McKin-
lay economics and the simple life.
Those in the ranks have not vet
convinced themselves that the go-for-
Colby movement will succeed in win
ming the nomination for the Senator.
But they are absolutely certain that
if the public is given choice between
genuine Republican" and CEN
trist Democrat, their man could win
hands down.
Some may be slightly troubled
when Democratic National Chairman
Bailey and Walter Reuther talk ap-
provingly of a Goldwater-Ke
contest. But they console themselves
with the thought that Bailey and
Reuther are just saying that to hurt
Barry, not to help him.
When dawn finally breaks, the

may be angry and cry betrayal. They
could end up hating the Republican |
nominee, whoever he is, even more
han they now hate the Kennedys.
The element of bitterness is becoming
in the non-candidate him
'elf. Goldwater is already talking
cornfully of the ''kingmakers''.
The Senator himself is a gentleman

the changes wrought by Franklin d.
Roosevelt.
Now they are carrying over into
the field of political action many of
their illusions. But since they do have
a political strategy, it merits exami-
nation.
Basically they put forth two ideas.
First, that only Goldwater can crack
the solid Democratic South and there
by beat Kennedy. Second, that Roske-
Teller, or possibly Romney or Scran-
ton, would be competing with Ken
nedy for the big city votes and can
not possibly hope to obtain them.
Granted that the odds are on Ken
nedy's reelection, no matter who is
the COP nominee, there seems to be
basic flaws in the Goldwater cam
paign. What are they?
The Southern Argument win
the South Republican candidate
would have to be more segregationist
than the Eastlands, Thurmonds. Ross
Barnetts and "Bulp' Connors. IF a
candidate did not satisfy these racial
purists, they probably would put up
their own lily-white ticket, as the
Dlxlecrats have in the past.
But if Republican tried to satisfy
the ultra-segregationists, how do they
think the rest of the country would
react? In short, Goldwater might con-
celvably win the South's 1877 cleo
toral votes. This would still leave
Kennedy with 4O1
The Big City Argument-There is
no doubt that in New York CITY. Chi
cago, Detroit, and Boston the Demo-
Gratis would have an edge, probably
big edge. But in the suburbs and other
parts OF New York, Illinois, Pennsyl-
vanla and Michigan modern Reprh-
lean might do as well as Nixon did
n 1860; maybe better. These states
would probably split evenly.
But there is another possibility
