Television in review
Reviewer comments on some
of networks' press releases
By Rick Du Brew
UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - We
read the network press re
leases: From ABC-TV's "Discov
ery," a children's show: "The
next time you see a child play
ing jump-rope and singing some
disjointed song lyrics, don't
take the music lightly."
Okay.
From CBS-TV: "Among the
many Jack Benny jokes is a
description of him as so tight
fisted that he has varicose
veins in his knuckles."
What are some of the other
Jack Benny jokes?
From ABC, quoting Dick
Clark about appearing on a
"Burke's Law" episode: "It
may come as quite a shock to
my ABC-TV daytime audience
when I loom up on their TV
screens... as a father-hater in
this 'Burke' episode whimsical
ly titled "Who Kiued wnat's-His-Name?'
"
No more than the shock of
that sentence.
-From CBC-TV: "Madelyn
Martin, writer on 'The Lucy
Show,', goes through all the
show's stunts herself to see if
they are practical for star Lu
cille Ball."
And? And? For heaven's sake
finish.
From ABC-TV: "Tom Egan,
associate producer on ABC-TV's
The Jimmy Dean Show, began
his TV career from the very
bottom. While a senior at Ford-
ham prep school in New York
he took an usher's job at CBS."
The assumption in the above
Is that if he had taken an ush
er's job at ABC, he would not
have begun his career quite so
low.
From ABC-TV, quoting
Gene Barry as saying: "As a
performer who has been trying
to stage a one-man revival of
vaudeville before I went into
the ABC-TV 'Burke's Law' se
ries, I'd like to express my
feeling of elation over the basic
idea of ABC's 'Hollywood Pal
ace show. This is a great place
to expose new talents and re
expose great vaudeville acts."
Strangely, I believe that Gene
Barry may well have said just
that.

WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi-
dent Johnson today asked Con
gress to approve a fiscal lata
spending budget for the Agri
culture Department $1.1 billion
below this year's figure.
The agriculture budget cut
was the largest for any govern
ment agency except the De
fense Department.
Johnson put a price tag of
$5.8 billion on farm programs
in the new fiscal year starting
next July 1. This compares
with estimated spending of $6.9
billion for the current 1964 fis
cal year.
The hefty saving Is based
largely on the current wheat
program and anticipated cotton
and dairy legislation, and could
evaporate easily.
About $532 million of the
budget reduction reflects the
lower price the Agriculture De
partment expects to pay to
subsidize wheat shipments
abroad under the Food for
Peace program and the inter
national wheat agreement.
Farmers Spurn Control
Last year, wheat farmers
turned down the administra
tion's proposed 1964 wheat con
trol program. As a result,
wheat price support In 1964 will
drop to about $1.25 per bushel
which is expected to approxi
mate the world price. Under
such a price, the government
will be able to ship abroad as
much wheat as before, but it
will cost fewer dollars to do so.
There would be little or no ex
port subsidy to pay. But pend
ing legislation to keep wheat
tarmers' income from dropping
could nullify the proposed budg
et saving.
Likewise, there Is no certain
ty that administration plans for
dairy and cotton legislation de
signed to save $230 million in
farm program costs will be ap
proved by Congress.
Johnson told Congress that
the cost of agricultural pro
grams m fiscal 1965 were estr
mated at $5.1 billion, down $1.3
billion from 1964. The estimat
ed expenditures for the depart
ment itself, however, are high
er because the agency adminis
ters some spending that is not
strictly agricultural such as the
Forest Service, school lunch
and food stamp programs.
Loan Chang Planned
One proposed reduction in
agricultural spending would
stem from changes In the
rural housing loan program of
tne warmers Home Administra
tion. The FHA changes would
require congressional approval
ot legislation to insure private
creoic tor rural nousmg.
Proposed legislation to fi
nance directly the full cost of
meat, poultry, and gram in
spection activities through a
system of fees would bring
about another reduction in
spending. Collections from
these proposed fees were esti
mated at $49 million in fiscal
1965.
Still another reduction would
be through "increased effi
ciency and reduced personnel

estimated Agriculture Depart,

Johnson devoted comparative.

to farm problems. But he
promised he would shortly

ommendations for agricultural
legislation, including cotton and

Compact group
to set down
list of objects
SEATTLE (UPI) The Colum
bia Interstate Compact Commis
sion decided Monday to assem
ble a list of objects to a pro
posed seven-state treaty, and to
meet in six weeKs to see it (in
ferences can be ironed out
Members of the commission
were told earlier Monday their
states must prepare to stand up
to thirsty California proposals
to divert water from the Pacific
Northwest.
Objections to the proposed
compact were voiced by Ken
Billington, executive secretary
of the Washington Public Utility
District Association. Washing
ton and Oregon public power
advocates' objections have been
the prime stumbling block in ,
ratification of the treaty in'
those two states.
The legislatures of the other
states Involved have approved
the proposal in one context or
another.
Billington, of Seattle, said the
prime objections of his organi
zation were the failure of the
compact to deal adequately with
pollution and flood control, the
possibility that Washington and
Oregon together could be out
voted by upstream states, and
the lack of budget limitations
on compact commissions.
The PUD executive said the
commission would be "a tax
supported bureaucracy big
enough to choke an ox."
Members of the commission
agreed that without ironing out
PUD objections the proposed!
compact would have no chance
of ratification.
The morning session of the
63rd meeting of the commission
was devoted mainly to a Los
Angeles proposal to take water
from Idaho's Thousand Springs
area and bring it to Southern
California.
Chairman of the Idaho Com.
pact Commission, R. P. Parry,
told the members that although
the Thousand Springs proposal
had been made in the name of
Los Angeles, it generally has the
backing of the whole Southwest
"My experience has taught
me never to underestimate the
engineering ability, financial
ability or the political power of
California," said Parry. "Their
(Los Angeles') scheme is clev
er." The proposal would take about
2.5 million acre feet of water,
lift it from 3.200 feet to 6.200
feet on the Nevada Plateau,
then flow by gravity to Lake
Mead, manufacturing hydroelec
tric power on the way.
Parry said if California were
able to carry out the plan, it
would mean a corresponding
foot-acre loss to the Columbia
River power plants, and at the
system's ultimate development,
a loss of $60 million to $70 mil
lion of power annually.
'Date room
set by LBJ
daughters
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Tne
White House classroom used by
Caroline Kennedy is being
turned into a teen-age "date3
room for President Johnson's
two daughters.
After all, as Mrs. Johnson put
it, "You can't have a date in
the Blue Room." Nor do any
of the other exquisite formal
rooms in the White House lend
themselves to high school hoe
downs or college gatherings.
The third floor solarium,
where Caroline and her play
mates attended kindergarten
and the first grade, is being
transformed into a recreation
room for Lucy Baines Johnson,
16 and Lynda Bird, 19.
.The vinyl tile floor Is Just
right for dancing. Sofas and
comfortable chairs will be
moved in along with a televi
sion set, a record player, and
a small ice box.
Lynda will come to the White
House to live this weekend.
Both she and her roommate,
Warrie Lynn Smith, 19. San An
tonio, Tex., are transferring
from the University of Texas to
George Washington University.
They will share Lynda's room
In the White House.
