The network schedules for the coming season are ready (or posting and there's still no niche for Omnibus. I have a sneaking suspicion that there is something wrong with a TV system that can't af ford to carry Its best its week ly Sid Caesars, its See It Nows and its Omnibuses. (Or is it Om nibii. There are all sorts of con fections in prime time for the meanderthal set, but except for an occasional spectacular or Play house 90, there is little program ming of substance In prime time. NBC-TV has carried Omnibus the past two seasons and last sea son, dropped a reported $625,000 on the show. There has been much talk of "Omnibus-type" shows for next season on the net work, but it seems to me this misses the point. I'm not even quite sure what an Omnibus-type how is. One of the chief virtues of Omnibus is its' avoidance of type. Over its past seven seasons, for example, Omnibus has investigated such di verse matters as football, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Frank Lloyd Wright, the biography of a fisb, a Bchcme, Benny Good man, Grandma Moses, eapital punishment, Sam Johnson, Dylan Thomas, minor league baseball, Winslow Homer, the yiolin, Jona than Winters, the Kabuki Danc ers, the Harlem Globetrotters, James Thurber and the Yugoslav Folk Ballet. It has gone up in the air with Amelia Earhart and down in the water with Jacques-Yves Cou stcau. It has tackled Shaw, Shake speare and She Stoops to Con quer. It has provided work for such relative unknowns as Jim my Dean, Joanne Woodward, John Cassavetes, Sal Minco and Janis Rule. It expanded the per forming career of Leonard Bern stein and Joseph Welch. ' From this list, something obvi ous should emerge. It is this: Omnibus is important not only for what It does, but because it's the last shooting match around which tries to experiment. It is a germinal show, a seedbed, a seminal effort from which the rest of TV can draw. The Channtl Swim: ABC-TV will kill off its new hour musical show, Music For A Summer Night, after the Aug. 19 telecast. It'll be replaced by two filmed shows. The Big Picture and the Court Of Last Resort. "Lucy Goes to Janan" Is the ti tle of the November CBS-TV Lucy Desi special. CBS-TV is firming up plans for a half hour chat with English philosopher Bertrand Russell which will be presented next fall as a Sunday special. Koger Smith, co-star of ABC- TVs 77 Sunset Strip, expects to two weeks Smith suffered a brain concussion from a fall in his home about six weeks ago. NBC-TV signed Chico Marx to a three year contract which calls for Marx to caier in five shows a year. Ceremony Due ForWagoneers At The Dalles QUINTON. Ore. UPI - The Oregon centennial wagon train camped near here Thursday night between the Union Pacific rail road and the Columbia River on property owned by Roy Phillipi of Quinton. The campsite was surrounded on two sides by archeological diggins. Today the wagon train moves 19 miles to a campsite one mile west of Biggs between the Union Pacific railroad and highway 30. The 20th century pioneers are slated to arrive' in The Dalles Sat urday morning at which time an all-aluminum key to the city, manufactured by the Harvey Aluminum company of The Dalles will be presented to Wagonmaster Tex Serpa. Ceremonies re-enacting a meet ing 100 years ago between Wasco Indians and a wagon train will be conducted Saturday morning. Exchanged Food At that time the Indians met the wagon train on the Columbia River and exchanged jerky, smoked . salmon and moccasins with the w.agon train members, who were without shoes and food, for blankets and then assisted them to Fort Dalles, according to chief Nathan Heath of Warm Springs. An Indian style dinner will be given to the Oregon cavalcade Saturday evening, with Laura Thompson, wife of the late Wy-an chief Tommy Thompson, serving the S9crs. The Oregon wagon train will start the trip down the Columbia River from The Dalles to Port land Monday morning and will spend the night on the barge in the Willamette River. The vagons will be unloaded Tuesday morn ing and then the cavalade will head for the Tuesday night camp at Hillsboro. , , DROWNS AT CONFERENCE SAN JUAN, P.R.

General Motors Earnings May Up Car Producers Income NEW YORK (UPI) General Motors Corp. earnings for the first half of 1959 to be published on Thursday are expected to lift net income for the nation's five automobile producers to a billion dollars Earnings of the first four com panies to report tor tne nan year Ford, Chrysler, American, and Studebaker Packard amounted to $404,861,075. This total compared with a net loss of $13,079,484 in the first half of 1958. . To brine the net for the- five producers up to one billion' dol lars, the General Motors report must show net income of $595,- 138,925 or $2.06 a share on the common stock, wall street ex perts believe that easily will be attained. The GM total would compare with $334,514,236 or $1.17 a, share in the first half of 1958. " If GM attains this figure the five companies will show one billion net against $321,434,782 for the first half last year, a rise of 208 per cent. m Sales Way Up General Motors first half sales are estimated at $6,599,000,000, against $3,031,261,000 " last year. The four companies reporting to date had a sales aggregate of $5,190,560,000 for the first half. against $3,372,988,000 in 1958. Adding the General Motors es timated sales, the total would amount to $11,690,560,000, against $8,404,249,000 'in 1958. a rise of 39 per cent. Ford's first half amounted to $5.22 a share, against 29 cents in 1958. Chrysler's was $6.65 a shard, against a net loss of $25.5 million. American's works out at $4.80 against $1.73. Stude baker s is $1.87 against a net loss of $13.3 million. For this picture, American Motors earnings have been work- port made the other- day was for the first nine months of its fiscal year. That period showed sales of $688,787,216 and net income of $49,599,962 or $8.36 a share. These figures compared with $358,518, 676. $14,583,416 and $2.61 a share for the 1958 period respectively. Big First Half It was a giant first half all around. The third quarter isn't going to be as big, say the auto mobile makers. And their ex penses will be higher because they will include new tools to turn out new compact cars that are expected to give the foreign ers a run for their money. The fourth quarter should be a big one, say the experts. The year 1959 will see big earnings totals, other things being equal and the steel strike kept' within reasonable limits. It is expected the total output will cross six million units. Foreign producers aren't apt to take the inroads of the big three into compact cars lying down. They already are whoop ing up refinements to capture more American sales. Renault of France has a new gimmick to get the U.S. business a front engine, front wheel drive light truck. . This rounds out its line wty'ch includes the ' 1CV and Dauphine passenger cars and the new Caravelle sports car.
