Hollywood, June 26 U.R)
Television scooped the world
last week with Its lirst real live
murder. It
also was its
last. The cus
tomers yelled
louder than
the victim did.
The corpse
in the villain
ous deed was
a f 1 v pound
New England
lobster. But his
sudden demise
in front of ev
erybody could
Virginia.
(UcPhenoa
not have raised more hullaballoo
if he'd been human.
Up to now TV has survived
low-cut necklines, horror
dramas and Milton Bcrle with
out official censorship. The lob
ster may bring It on.
And the embarrassed gentle
men behind it all are two young
producers, Budd Crossman and
Arnold Mills. They learned tele
vision out of a book they bought
for $1.25, they said, and there
wasn't anything in there warn
ing 'em about things like this.
"It started out so innocently,"
Grossman sighed. "We have this
show, 'Helpfully Yours,' and
every week we cook up a recipe
In front of the camera.
"On the fateful day the dish
happened to be lobster thcrmi
dor." Shows Everything
The man in charge of the pots
and pans is Chef Adolph Gasser,
and he is a gent who shows the
lady lookers everything he does
In whipping up his specialties.
And that means everything!
"So he plops this lobster in
front of the camera," Mills said,
"and the little thing looked so
cute with its blinking out at the
audience the cameraman moved
In for a closeup.
"We saw it all coming but
It happened so fast we couldn't
atop it. Chef Adolph gets this
long knife and stabs the poor
lobster right in the back.

"Then all heck broke loose.
Cameraman Got Sick
"The comeraman got sick. Our
engineer turned white and dash
ed out of the control booth. And
the audience got kind of green."1
That was only the beginning.
The minute the show was over
the telephone calls began. Next
day the outraged letters poured
in. Studio bosses held a meeting.
Sponsors screamed.
"It was just one of those
things," Grossman says limply.
"We couldn't 'help it. But now
everybody's all hepped up about
getting censors.
"Funny thing, we've had girls
up here in the briefest of bath
ing suits and the tightest of
sweaters. And nobody even let
out a peep." .
Anyhow, the boys are playing
it safe. Custard is their favorite
recipe from here on in.
Nobody's objected, so far, to
Chef Adolph breaking an egg or
two.
Sentence Suspended
For Pistol Pointing
George I. Maxwell, Wagner
Creek, pleaded guilty in justice
court Saturday to a charge of
pointing a pistol at another, and
Judge W. P. Tucker gave him
a 60-day suspended jail sentence
on condition that the 89-year-old
miner refrain from further
violations of the law.
District Attorney George Neil
son said Maxwell has been or
dered off the Wagner Creek
mining claim that was the cause
of his altercation with H. C.
High, Medford. Sheriff's offi
cers said High was attempting
to reach the claim to do hia as
sessment work when Maxwell
pointed a Lugcr pistol at him
and fired it into a small stream
directly in front of High and
his party. Judge Tucker is hold
ing the pistol.

THEY LIKE THE ECONOMY ll"
OF OWNING TWO FORDS Z T
li f a P y
Over 250,000 families (with the number grow,
ing every day) have discovered the convenience
and independence of 2-Ford living. Dad can
golf while Mom shops. No need to sit borne
while Junior's at the prom. Good-bye bases.
Good-bye trolleys. They've found, too, that
Fords are a sound investment low in first
cost, low in maintenance and high in resale
value. They like the economy of owning two
Fords.
We say "fine car" for very good reasons . . .
reasons like Ford's amazingly quiet V-8 and
"Six" engines ... the smooth "Mid Ship" Ride
in a body of "Lifeguard" steel ... the H
easier acting King-Sire Brakes ... the roomy
Sofa-Wide seats . . . plus the dozens of other
features which won thousands more friends for
Ford last year.

In a second resolution dele
gates favored overtime and com
pensatory time-off benefits re
ceived by city carriers for ru
