Demand for TV Scripts TopsS u DDIV it j By JACK GAVER -United Press Staff Cerrespoaieat NEW. YORK (UP) -When you use 52 one-hour dramatic scripts annually, year after year, you nat urally give a great deal of- time to thinking about writers and writin " So it was only natural for Robert Montgomery to lead off . an inter view, about his "Montgomery :?rej acuta vu novl V Wlin me suojeci. -I can't for the life of ine."" said the handsome actor-producer "see how any young waiter today can afford not to make an effort to break into the television fields ' "The outlets are certainly there. Dramatic shows, both . lire : and film, 30 minutes and one hour, are all over the channels. The demand far exceeds xthe supply of good things. j .--.. Good Paying Medium "And 4" the past two years at least, ..the price '.for scripts have gone up and up until there is no better paying medium for a writer for the effort required. A one-hour TV script is worth considerably more than a short story for a mag azine except in rare cases. And the price for the original television use may be the least of the rewards now that movie and stage produc ers are keeping a sharp eye on every TV dramatic show with a view to acquiring material that can be expanded to their purposes." Montgomery has a reading staff that scans every source of material constantly original TV. Fiction and articles, fiction and non-fiction in the book field, news papers and even dusty classics. Almost anything may be grist for adaptation, which is anoth er lucrative TV field for writers.

Moore, who entered the Army p 1944, It the son f Mrs. Viola A. Brooks, Aurora. i plained. "For example, at the time one of pur plays is given on a Mon day night, work will be in progress on the play that will be. used six weeks hence. In the matter 'of stockpiling ideas and scripts, we are even farther ahead, of course. If I had 100 scripts stockpiled, I still wouldn't be satisfied. You can never get enough." ' v There's no letup in the Montgom ery operation, of course io sum mers off. When the regular Mont gomery : series of fall, winter and spring ends, his "summer stock company" carries right on. The only relief Montgomery gets dur ing this period is not having to ap pear personally as a "live" host .on the summer programs. He puts the "lead'ins" on film. Otherwise he's at his desk as usual giving as much time as ever to lining up material.

LONDON (INS) One of the . world's -lew remaining kingdoms is up for sale to the highest bid der. .'. ; " - '.'.; V . j -' I It is the tiny island of Lundy, 20 miles off the southwest' coast of Britain and the asking price for the entire' island plus the: rights and privileges of monarch' is $125,000 or the best offer. r Lundy is temporarily kingless as a result of the death recently of London financier Martin Coles Harman, who had the misfortune of expiring without leaving an heir to ascend his "throne," The island is one of those tra-, dition-drenched old-world oddi ties which for eight centuries has enjoyed the status of a virtually, independent enclave. ' Since 1135 when King Stephen granted it a royal charter, Lun dy's lords have reserved to them selves the xights of. sovereignty r over their pocket domain. To, this day whoever owns the island pays no income tax. and' has the right to mint his own coins, print postage stamps and import whatever he wishes free ; of -custom duties. r He also can control fishing in his coastal waters, deny anyone ' he chooses permission to land and evict all who incur his dis-' pleasure. He has 15 "subjects' - island residents who take their ' livelihood from Lundy's rocky ' soil. Recent lords of Lundy have " avoided putting their precise powers to the test with the Brit ish government. Harman, who, when he purchased the island, inherited with it a horde of an-t cient documents, claimed Lundy was completely independent- of Britain and that he owed allegi- ances to no one except Queen ! Elizabeth. ' ., i 1 ' i 1 I ' 1 1 ' " I I A nn I BeuM The PIKE v -.V;V ti 138 S. Liberty 1 Ph. 361 j ISO N. Liberty, Salem f - ' ' Feature!
