Television in review TV coverage of march' left much to be desired, he feels By Rick Du Brew UPI Staff Writer HOLLYWOOD UPt - The concern over Wednesday's tele vising of tiie "march on Wash ington" was made clear by inter views with southern senators as well as civil rights spokesmen. That there was such great in terest in all quarters meant it was network television's duty to Americans with varying opinions to cover the march with enough application to help them arrive at their own decisions. , How did the networks fare? Well, I can best tell you of the coverage supplied here to the sta tions I watched. As an example, NBC-TV, which prides itself on its news, virtually blotted out live reports on key buildup mo ments of the march to bring us the game shows "Concentration," "Your First Impression" and "Truth or Consequences." In short, a certain atmosphere of insanity was created in which one almost expected to hear an announcer say: "And now we in terrupt the revolution to return to the program in progress." 3 new divorce actions on file Three new divorce cases have been filed in circuit court in the past week or so. and a number of divorce decrees have been grant ed.

Use Classification No. S3 to find the musical instrument you want August 19, 1963 Tit flr.a ( i There was a similar situation during the Cuban crisis. One finds himself knob-flipping, infur iated, frustrated, wondering whe ther an outburst of violence at the scene is the only thing that can insure constant coverage. There are few better areuments I for a fourth network, devoted to I public affairs. There was, of course, some picturesque reporting of the ga thering near the Lincoln Memor ial, the many signs demanding action "now," the folksinging, the chanting for "freedom," the speeches, the tumultuous ap plause given Mahalia Jackson for her non-political talent in belting out a hymn and some of all of this was transmitted abroad by Telstar. Strangely, there also arose a feeling that, however one felt about the matter at hand, this was at least a vital country that could withstand and allow self criticism, and settle Its own prob lems. But the networks, except for CBS-TV, were a different story. With their staffs of many fine re porters, they were like beautiful racehorses burdened with harnes ses. NBC-TV took the lead at the start, and then, inexplicably. Fad ed when the chips were down, simply disappearing when need ed. ABC-TV came on reasonably strong as the official ceremonies were about to start. But it, too, was not dependably on hand throughout. CBS warmed up slow ly coming on late, then spending too much time listening to its own correspondents but final ly getting to the real story of the crowd and the podium, and stay ing with it to the end. Tha Channel Swim: Jackie Coo per, who is planning a 19M-65 CBS-TV series in which he plays a county agent in tiie Southwest, is West Coast chairman of a White House citizen's committee for a domestic Peace Corps . . . NBC-TV's "Frontiers of Faith" airs a lecture scries on the four Gospels of the New Testament for four Sundays starting Sept. 8. Gale Gordon, formerly the high school principal with Eve Arden on CBS-TVs "Our Miss Brooks," will be featured frequently this season on same network's "Lucy" show . . . Harry James and his band are the guest musical group on the Sept. 21 premiere of ABC TV's Jerry Lewis program, which also stars Mort Sahl and Kay Ste vens . . . ABC-TV starts its four part series, "Saga of Western Man," on Oct. IS with a one-hour special about the year 1492, when Columbus discovered America. Agreement set on net removal PORTLAND UPI Repre sentatives of federal and state fish and game agencies Wednes day agreed to the immediate re moval of Idaho Power Company's fish net at Brownlee Dam on the Snake River. The agreement, subject to ap proval by the Federal Power Commition, hinges on the com pany's finding "satisfactory alter nate means'' for maintaining and restoring the fishery resource on the Snake. The net had been installed to prevent small fish moving down stream from being killed in the Brownlee Dam turbines. How ever, it had no operated satis factorily. Currently fish collection barges at the net are providing tempo rary passage of downstream mi grants.

Young career girls murdered in New York NEW YORK (UPI) Two young career girls, one the nieje of author Philip Wylle, were found Wednesday night stabbed to death and tied together In their apartment on Manhattan's swank East Side. The victims, found In the bed room of the flat, were Janice Wylie, 21, an employe of News week magazine who hoped to be come an actress, and Emily Hof fert. 23. daughter of a prominent Minneapolis surgeon, who had planned to start teaching school next month. The bodies were removed from the third-floor apartment shortly after midnight and taken, still bound together, to the morgue at Bcllevue Hospital where au topsies will be performed later to day. Police virtually ruled out burg lary as a motive in the slayings. Dr. Milton Helpcrn. the city's chief medical examiner, said it did not appear that the women had been sexually molested. Lawrence McKearney, an as sistant chief of detectives, said police had "no suspects" and "no leads." Of the killings, he said: "This is really sadistic." "We're reaching for anyone." McKearney said, when asked If he thought police would solve tho case soon. "It's a tough one." The bodies were discovered by the two girls' roommate. Patricia Tolles, 23, and Miss Wylie's faUi er, Max Wylie, an advertising firm executive and also an au thor. Miss Tolles, who has a job with Time Book, Inc., said she last saw her roommates alive when she left the four-room, $250-a-month apartment at 9:30 a.m., EDT, Wednesday for work. When she returned at 8:40 p.m., she said, she found the apart ment In disarray and, frightened, telephoned Max Wylle, who lives Just two blocks away. It was Wy lie who pushed open the bedroom door and found the girls, who had been bound hand and foot and then tied together back-to-back with sheets. Miss Wylie was nude, and Mis Hoffert was fully clothed, police said. The bodies were wedged tnto a narrow space between one of the beds in the room and I wall. Next to the bodies, police said, were two bloody carving knives. A third knife was found on a sink in one of the apartment's two bathrooms where the killer, or killers, apparently had gone to wash off blood before fleeing. The knife blades were between 10 and 12 inches long. McKearney said the girls were attacked In their bedroom and slashed repeatedly in the neck and abdomen. They were "very severely stabbed," Helpera said. rem return visieli HELSINKI, Finland (UPI) The Soviet Union Wednesday re turned two Finnish trawlers and a motor launch which Russian war ships arrested in the Gulf of Fin land Monday.

Shuttlesworth first to fire up demonstrators gathered in Washington Wednesday for march' By Al Kuettner UPI Half Writer One day last May, slightly built Negro wearing bright blue pajamas eased himself into a sit ting position in a Birmingham, Ala., motel and had some words to say about the racial integra tion strife raging in the city. The Rev. F.L. Shuttlesworth. then one of the big three leaders of the "Birmingham Movement" and now pastor of the Baptist Church in New York, was an angry man. For one thing, he had just been knocked to the pavement by a stream of fir hose water which 1 was used to ouell demonstrators. ' For another thing, he was having soma problems of disunity with other leaders of the movement. But he was still scrapping for "the cause." "Whatever happens to our movement and however much we get divided, we will always come back together again for the com mon purpose and we will fight this thing through to the end," he told reporters in a bedside news conference. Then he tried to answer con tentions that Birmingham Ne groes by and large were content and were demonstrating only be cause of "outsiders." "Some of our people may be afraid to speak out but they arc for us many more than you think," Shuttlesworth said. Wednesday, Shuttlesworth had This summer there is enough dead timber lit tering the forest floor in the Pacific Northwest to build almost a year's supply of new homes. Hot winds and low humidity have dried this blow-down to the ignition point. Right now it's ready to fuel one of the worst forest fires on record. If a fire gets started in this debris, mil lions of acres may be devastated and whole communities could be burned out. For this reason, the state forester has ciobcd much wider areas of both public and private forest lands to public use. These fire closures will run through September, and longer if necessary. They are absolutely vital to preven tion of a major fire disaster this year. Your help is needed. Please respect all areas some more words to say after a huge throng of Negroes, joined by a great crowd of while sympa thizers, demonstrated in Washing ton. This time Shuttlesworth was in the background. He got to say only a few sentences when hi was introduced. But his words were the first to fire up a mul titude that had until then been serious and almost silent. In a voice that rose to its cus tomary pilch of shrillness in de livery, Shuttlesworth said: "We serve notice that if our country wants to be successful, it had better free the Negroes, be cause until the Negro is free no Ixxly will be free. 'If police want peace and judges want uncloggcd calendars. Wage increase is announced Spicltl t The Bulletin REDMOND A wage increase of ten cents per hour, retroactive to June 1, 1963, was announced this week by Redmond's two oper ating mills, Pondcrosa Mouldings and Whittier Moulding Company. Combined payrolls of tho two mills Include some 150 men. Tite Knot Pine Mill, which burned to the ground July 31 and is in the process of preparing to rebuild, probably will go along with the hike, says W. F. Schinkel, office manager. Danger! is now flagged A public service then turn the Negro loose In America." Crowd Cheers The first full-throated cheer of tile demonstration greeted those words. As the fiery Negro leader left the platform, he announced what he hopes will be his next move: "I shall propose a civil rights march through the South that will go straight into the Black Belt of Alabama and Mississippi this year and in 1964. We musl pro vide 'little Washingtons' every where so that the Negro in tiie cotton field who can't get to Washington can have a chance to express himself." How far Shuttlesworth will get selling his idea to other integra tion leaders is an unknown quan tity. Such saturation efforts have not been effective so far in some southern cities. In the North and Midwest, too, racial demonstrations that bottled up normal business activity land ed the participants in jail. One point is clear, however, from the Washington march. It demonstrated that a tremendous throng of Americans estimated at 200,000 placed themselves physicially In one place behind a unified drive for Negro rights. Leader after leader pointed to the sheer weight of numbers as an example that Negroes are to gether in the current fight and are willing to sacrifice to prove the point. FIRE HAZARD SLflRER The entire northwest as a critical fire hazard area A message from Student says to renew ties MADRID (UPI) - Cuban Pre-' mier Fidel Castro hopes to re sume diplomatic relations with the United States, according to one of tho American youths who defied a State Department ban I to visit Cuba. Fifty-four of the original 59 . youths were scheduled to fly back to New York today and face gov ernment sanctions for their un authorized trip. Three other students remained in Cuba temporarily, one returned to the United States Monday and one drowned in a swimming ac cident during the eight-week tour, for which the Cubans paid all ex penses.

Officials of the government to bacco monopoly said an undeter mined number of packages of "Ikoi," a 14-cent brand, were stuffed with choice tobacco des tined for "Peace," Japan's most expensive cigarette at 22 cents a pack. of closure. Report all "smokes" you see when traveling through forest areas. Whenever possible build campfires only in facilities provided for them. Make doubly sure they are out when you leave. Never leave an fire unattended. Watch matches and cigarettes more carefully than a Weyerhaeuser Company Castro wants with U.S. impressed by the guided tour ol Cuba. "I'm for socialism In the Cuban sense,'1 he said. Me added that he was not a member of any political group. "Castro Is not attempting to spread the Cuban revolution," Kaffke said. Clinton Jencks, 19, and his wife Dec, 18, also students at San Francisco State, said they were worried about possible penaltieJ arising from the visit. "But the trip was worth It." Jencks said. "Now I know the truth about Cuba. The people are happy there." He denied earlier statements at tributed to him that the Cubans had never been worse off. He said he had been misunderstood. Mrs. Jencks said representatives of the U.S. embassies in London, Amsterdam and Prague warned the group when it was en route to Cuba that its members faced possible five years' imprisonment and $5,000 fines for going to Cuba, in addition to having their pus ports taken away.
