Newspaper Page Text20-(Sec. II) Statesman, Salem; Ore., Thurs., May 22, '58 Congress Tangled in Official Version for National Anthem By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON Ml Congress lias begun considering whether to adopt an official version of the Siar-Spangled Banner. 'And almost before you could cay, "0 say can you see," it got itself tangled up in questions. Suppose an official version be came law, could a president send in troops if some school band leader didn't play it the official way? And would there be bootleg Star Spangled Banners, with one knowledgeable audience sitting and a less tune-conscious group standing? To anyone except, possibly, InsHe TV Public Has Little to Say About TV Fare By EVE STARR HOLIyWOOD STARR RE PORT: There possibly exists in the bosom of the viewing public the happy feeling that what is seen on the air comes as a result of long and careful planning by the three major networks, each dedicated to the proposition that nothing is too good for the public and the public's interest must be served, nfortunate ly, it rarely ,1 ' s . X that works way. A TV film producer re cently return- -ed from New York after a sales trip ln- p -n a pilots films. - ev stajw. He tells the following story: "I showed one ef these films, a Western la which I was aot per eanally layered, to the top mil at M af the leading advertising aceades. lt waa good nlm- 1 Weald say a superior eae.

Why hadn't he reacted, "He looked tired and beat. He told me, apologetically, that this was the fifth pilot film he'd seen that day. He said ha averaged five films a day. every day, during the selling season. "Ha had film coming out of his nars. His senses wen dulled to the point of blindness. He was no longer ea cable of making an honest valuation of any film's worth. aTe had a reaatlaa or exdt Mat left as alas.

And they are buy ing Western simply because West erns have done so well this past season. "If yon thought there were too many Westerns on the air this year, wait until you see what's going to be on next year. One Western after another. "Most of the old ones have re newed, and there will be plenty of sww ones to add to the already top heavy total." BECAUSE PILOT FILMS coat M average of $4S,Mt apiece, a lot oT money Is going to be lost by a hat af predncel s who have hope fully tnraed aot pUeta aaly to flad thornsilvea naablo to sell them. What beeasaea at these half-honr ntowi? One af floUywood'a lead nag pradneers la la New Yerk right ataw trying to sell ona af the net works on the idea of baylag p tl of the more premising unsold pilots and making a aeries out af them. His argument: If just two of them are sold as a result of their being seea and liked by the view Ing public, the aetwerk will get its money back. Furthermore, the net work will, la essence, be keeping a lot of capable producers ia bas inets by allowing them to recoup their $4J,0OS expended en each en fold pilot. The network will also be doing the public a large favor by let ting them, instend of a jaded agen cy executive, decide what is good and what isn't. It was the public that made "Mister Peepers" a success six years ago, not the industry itself. And it should be the public's de cision. Advertising men, by and large. are too close to the picture and can't see the forest for the trees. Half the time, they can't even see the trees. (Copyrlfht IMS, Central Features Corp.) Six Accused Of Neglecting Ailing Mother NEW CASTLE, Ind. ufl Two brothers and their four sisters have been charged in Circuit Court with failing to support their 84-year-old mother, who ia bedfast in her home. The charges were filed Monday by Prosecutor Fred V. Hall, who said Mrs. Annie Covey is without food or care except that provided by neighbors. County officials said reports of Mrs. Covey's plight have been made periodically since July 1957 and that officers nave been called to the home at night by neighbors hearing her screams for help. , Those charged are Herbert and Hubert Covey, Mrs. Elsie Win chester, Mrl. Delma Oakes and Mrs. Donna Calland, all of New Castle, and Mrs. Rfxie Crawford Hudson of M untie, ind. Hubert Cover sirs he has been living in his mother's home. All the children say "we are doing all wo can," one official said. Boy Shoots At Teacher NEW ORLEANS Ul-A disgrun tled 15-year-old Negro boy fired a bullet Tuesday at Calvin Smith, 23, Negro instructor who flunked him. Juvenile authorities sought the unidentified Negro boy. They said other pupils saw him pause in a doorway, take aim, fire and run away. Smith, who was correcting pa pers at his classroom desk in the Negro school, said he jumped up when he heard the explosion and demanded: "Who threw that fire cracker?" "That was na firecracker. prof," a pupil said. "That was a bullet and it waa aimed at you." The pupil pointed to a big hole in the wall behind Smith. "Why ha should shoot at ma." Smith said. "I do not know. I flunked him. but so did the other teachers."

In 1931, Congress adopted the song as our national anthem. Un fortunately, it didn't spell out either the words or the melody Many a patriotic person thinks this should be corrected, and sev eral bills have been introduced in congress. , More Singable Many think it ought to be more singable. Those who think so in clude Lucy Monroe, who has sung the song 5,000 times, and very stirringly too. She favors some mi nor tinkering with the high and low notes which,, she says, "would! allow all of us to join in with greater assurance of joy." The leadoff man before the House Judiciary subcommittee was Rep. Joel T. Broyhill (R) of Arlington, Va. He favors going back to the earliest written ver sion by Francis Scott Key for the official words, and to a melody worked out by the National Music Council. a special recording naa ueen made for the subcommittee, show ing how the tune could be played in different keys for different per formers, for a beginning piano player, for example, or the zippy U.S. Army band. The record caused a mite of un certainty in the committee room. Mrs. Charles Haig of Washington, D.C., representing the Daughters of the American Revolution, said in a stage whisper, "We ought to stand." But no one did, and the scientific demonstration con tinued. Can't Understand Fuss Rep. Basil L. Whitener (D) of Gastonia, N.C., said he can't un derstand what the fuss is about. "I mentioned it in the barber shop down home, to see what re action I'd get," Whitener said. "The barber said, .'The devil! We've had one for over 100 years, haven't we?" Broyhill said he still believes we should have an official "Ban- sr." Whitener also fretted over pos sible bootleg Star Spangled Ban ners. It was he who wondered what would happen if some band took off on an unofficial version. Would part of the crowd rise and the rest remain seated? Rep. Francis E. Dorn (R) of Brooklyn, a pro-official version man, tried to reassure Whitener. "We'd do as we do now," he said. "We'd stand and pay our respects." It was Whitener, too, who asked what if a school band director insisted on playing an un official version. Would the FBI come in? Would a president send troops? , Rep. Herbert Zelenko ID) of New York tried to allay these fears, pointing out no penalties are involved. "If someone deviates an eighth of a note," he said, "I know we're not going to have the FBI after him."
