Tribune Pages 1-8 MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY MARCH 4, 1955 Second Section Around Hollywood - By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Walt Dis ney's TV program, "Disney land," soared "to top success this season, but the cartoon master already is adding an other show to the home screens a chil dren's newsreel. Other video geniuses might Aline Mo by be content with one program that over night sent its competition to the showers and pulls 16,000 fan letters a week. But Disney is furrowing his brow over a sec ond TV program from his studio. "Mickey Mouse Club," which he calls a "children's newsreel." , This will be aired daily from 5 to 6 p.m. which will answer the sighs of mothers whose small fry demand to keep awake until 8:30 p.m. for the weekly "Disneyland." It starts Oct. 3., Will See Other Children "On the new show children will see what other children around the world are doing their hobbies, their pleasures, schools, news events," explained the amiable Disney as he sat behind a small mound of scripts, Oscars, letters and models of his cartoon characters in his studio office. ' "We are lining up the Welsh Boys' Choir in Wales and the Arizona Boys' Choir in Tjicson. We'll have programs on safety, health, biology. We'll pick kids from Europe and bring them here. We'll take American chil dren to Europe. , - "We'll ask children what they want to be when they grow up. If a boy's wish is to be a pilot, we'll film him in the cockpit s PRAISING RED CAPTORS, Mrs. Adele Rickett, 35, New York English teacher and Malcolm Bershon, 29, Harvard-graduated medical student, reach Hong Kong after release from Chinese prisons, expressing complete belief in honesty of Red Justice. Observers said they were most thoroughly "brainwashed" Amer ican civilians released from Communist China. (International) helping fly a plane. A girl wants to be a nurse . . . she spends a day with one." Change Format , Next fall even "Disneyland" will not stick to its current format because Disney believes variety is the spice of television. The current "Davy Crockett" stories will be released to theaters as a full-length movie, and other western yarns will take their place on TV. Next year "Disneyland" will feature "science factual" stories "about the atomic era and what it will mean to us." Disney made one for this season, about a practical trip to outer space. ; So far, the producer hasn't realized much of a profit from his expensive show, "But we hope to get some of our money back when 'Crockett goes into the theaters. The cost will bal ance out in the long run because the 'show has a residual value and is timeless." I asked Disney for a progress report on his amusement park, also called Disneyland, now rising among the orange groves at nearby Anaheim. "The rivers are dug and the buildings are going up," Disney beamed. "The foundations were set last week. The landscaping is in. "We hope to open in July but we may get business a little earlier. About 7,000 people have driven over to see the park so we . may give them a little tour and a brochure explaining about the opening." More trucks in the U.S. are used for the distribution of milk from farms to processors and to consumers than for any thing else.
