Television in review
TV has never
simple-minded
By Rick Du Brow
UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) "Ca
lamity Jane," a 90-minute CBS-
TV special that aired Tuesday
night with Carol Burnett, is the
kind of simple-minded musical-
comedy that the movies stopped
making years ago because pay
ing audiences outgrew them.
Television, however, has never
lost faith in simple-minded en
tertainment or the parasitic use
of leftovers.
The fact that CBS-TV de
scribed as a "special" this flat
remake of a 10-year-old film
with Doris Day and Howard
Keel that was undistinguished
in the first place, gives you an
idea of the real difference be
tween the quality of movie and
television entertainment.
The story, the form, the exe
cution, the mentality were all
so far behind the times that
this is the kind of musical that
is already prompting nostalgic
parodies from the creative end
of the theatre. The fact that
there was little attempt to suc
cessfully adjust Tuesday night's
opus to the new demands of the
1063 audience left it merely out
dated by another decade.
The tale, of course, was the
well-worn one of a tomboyish

Wild Bill Hickok.
But what can one say of a
show where there are such se
rious lines as "This town ain't
big enough for the two of us,"
and comic lines such as "I was
happy as a butcher's dog"? Be
lieve me, there was no tongue
in cheek. It all made one feel
guilty for not being a knee
slapper or a tattoed cigarette-

The new laughs of the 90
minutes were milked by the
hard-working Miss Burnett in
her moments of being a Plain

this is the type of character
one has seen her do countless
times before. As Hickok, Art
Lund sang well. But there was
not a single distinguished musi
cal number or show-stopping
sequence or any kind in the
long yawn. The script was ex
traordinarily witless; it takes
hard work to be so dull.
CBS is so used to making sit
uation comedies of a folksy na
ture that the whole offering
seemed to be a victim of this
thinking. The lines were so tele

November crop
report shows
record volume
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Agriculture Department's No
vember crop report showed that
1963 maintained the record vol
ume indicated a month ago de
spite ravages of drought in
some areas.
The crop reporting board said
Tuesday that corn, sorghum
grain, rice, and cotton were ma
jor crops showing increased
prospects on Nov. 1. But con
tinued soil moisture shortages
in the South lowered prospects
of soybeans and peanuts. Pas
ture condition was reported at
60 per cent of normal the low
est November condition since
1956.
The 1963 corn crop now is es
timated at a record 4,033,000
bushels. This is up almost 25
million bushels or 1 per cent
from last month's forecast and
is U per cent more than in
1962.
The Increase in the corn esti
mate was enough to counteract
a decline of an estimated 9 mil
lion bushels in the soybean
crop. As a result, the total 1963
field crop maintained its posi
tion of almost 2 per cent larger
than the 1962 output, and now
is 110 per cent of the 1957-59 av
erage production. Heavy yields,
including a record corn yield of
66.2 bushels per acre, helped
keep up the record volume this
year.
The total tonnage of the four
feed grains corn, oats, barley,
and sorghum grains now is ex
pected to weigh in at about
153.1 million tons, 1 per cent
more than a month ago and 7
per cent larger than the 1962
total.
The department said that
while dry October weather low
ered prospects in some areas,
the net effect of the above nor
mal temperatures and delayed
frost was to permit full devel
opment of late acreages of corn
and sorghum grain, and speed
harvest activity.
The number of persons work
ing on farms in October
reached 7,596,000. This was the
smallest of record for the
month, although onlv sliehtlv
below October, 1962.
Farm operators and family
members working on farms to
taled 5,382,000, the lowest of
record for the period. Hired
hands totaled 2,187,000 persons,
down 1 per cent from October,
1902.
Venable, Roth
found guilty
DENVER (UPI) A U.S. Dis
trict Court jury Tuesday con
victed two building supply com
pany employes of fraud in con
nection with federal home im
provement loans.
The jury returned the verdict
at 1:45 p.m. after eight hours
of interrupted deliberation last
Friday and Tuesday.
Defendants were Theodore J.
Venable, 44, of Medford, Ore.,
and Thomas M. Roth, 32, of
Rockford, III. Both are former

Keynoias Aluminum Co., and
promised bonuses which were
never received.

Bold bandit
image turns
into brass
By Brye B. Miller -UPI
Staff Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) - Five
days ago even New York detec
tives grudgingly admired tha
careful manner in which hi
jackers planned and staged tha
biggest . jewel robbery in tha
city's history.
But today the golden Image
of the bold bandits was turning
into brass. The rniracle in Man
hattan had become a comedy
of errors. It was not exactly a
laughing matter, not with an
estimated $3 million worth of
loot involved, but it was a bun
gled job.
And all because of an auto
mobile that had become some
thing of a relic in these days
of automatic transmission and
power steering.
The wrong man was in the
driver's seat of the getaway
car, a station wagon loaded
with the stolen diamonds, em
eralds, rubies and gold. He was
unfamiliar with shifting gears
and could not get the car roll
ing. He gunned the motor and tha
vehicle jerked forward a few
feet and stalled. It happened
repeatedly.
"Hey," he called to a group
of workers nearby., "How' do
you get this damned tiling to
go?" " .
Empty-Handed
One of the men made a vul
gar remark. Without another
glance, the driver got out of the
station wagon and sprinted
empty-handed down the street.
The workers examined tha
car and helped themselves to
the loot.
"A grab bag situation devel
oped," said Capt. Charles C.
Holt Jr. of the detective divi
sion. "It was finders keepers."
He emphasized that many of
the workers neither witnessed
the heist nor .took part in tha
looting, but several stuffed
handfuls of jewels diamonds,
emeralds, a few .rubies Into
their pockets. They left behind
bars of jeweler's gold and the
gems they could not easily
carry away. None returned be
cause they figured . the police
would show up at any minute.
Some hid the jewels in the
building being torn down.
Others look them ' home.- One
even took gems to his weekend
farm near Gettysburg, Pa., and
buried them. Another man had
more than $200,000 worth in a
briefcase.
Late Monday night, the real
story the story of the "badly
bungled" heist-began to seep
out. It came from two separate
sources. One a witness who
talked to a private detective.
ana me oiner a demolition
worker who "got a snootful" in
a Manhattan bar and talked too
much.
The demolition worker, well
in his cups, started bragging to
his buddy.
"We saw it all." he said.
".And we got all the loot while
the real bandits got nothing."
His buddy called police.
The other witness was a de
molition worker who, apparent
ly, had no part in the looting.
He told private detective An
thony Negri, 28. he had seen a
station wagon near the robbery
scene. Several men were near
it, he said, looking ill at ease.
One man, the witness said,
stashed a briefcase in an old
boiler lvine rlisrarrforf m tha
lot.
Negri found the briefcase,
filled with iewels. in tho hoiior
and called police.
by dawn Tuesdav. dozens of
detectives and FBI agents,
dressed in neat business suits,
were probing the debris with
shovels, long poles and with
their hands.
At least five demolition work
ers admitted their part in the
lootine. and led th Hto,-t,vo
to hiding places. Some were ac-
