Contestant Opens Bible At Random; Gets Advice On $64,000 TV Question Harrisburg, Pa. (U.R) Mrs. Catherine Kreitzer, a Pennsyl vania grandmother with a $64, 000 decision, will be reading her Bible often before she makes up her mind. She sat at an oval, oil-cloth .covered table in the big, com fortable kitchen in her Possum Hollow home Thursday night and opened her Bible at random for a photographer. Then she laughed and read from proverbs: "Wilt thou get thine' eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings like an eagle that flieth toward heaven." "I couldn't turn to that by chance again in 10 years," she said. The Big Risk But she wouldn't say whether the ancient scriptural admoni tion might reflect her own thoughts on the decision she must make by next Tuesday night whether to take the $32, 000 her Bible knowledge has won her thus far in a quiz show, or risk it in a try for $64,000. "I haven't given any thought to what I'll do," she insisted. "I'll tell Hal March (master of ceremonies on "The $64,000 Question" television show) next Tuesday." Mrs. Kreitzer said in the event she decided to try the $64,000 question, she would not ask her 82-year-old father, Joseph Bu cher, also a Bible scholar, to serve as her expert adviser. She is entitled to an adviser on the big question. "I wouldn't ask father because he won't go to New York," she said. Mrs. Kreitzer's husband, Jo seph, also remained discreetly out of the circle of his wife's limelight during the visit to their eight acre Camp Hill RD 1 farm. Fair to Navy The 54-year-old mother of six sons who have nine children fingered a pile of letters and telegrams and explained that "I just don't let myself think about the decision it wouldn't be fair to the Navy. "They pay me a salary to type bills of lading at the Mechanics burg supply depot, and I'll do my deciding on my own time." The telephone ran, and Mrs. Kreitzer commented: "I thought the bell would be worn out by now." She said she had received scores of letters, wires and phone calls from "all over the country people I don't even know. "Most of them are congratula tory," she said, "and many are of a religious nature, but it's curious I haven't had any from ministers.". Power Responsibility In Memphis Suggested Washington (U.R) The White House suggested today that the mayor and city council of Mem phis, Tenn., vote to assume sole responsibility for providing the city s own power. President Eisenhower said Wednesday he would cancel the controversial Dixon - Yates con tract if there are proper assur ances that the city of Memphis will build its own power plant and thus eliminate the need for the disputed Dixon-Yates power project. The mayor of Memphis has said that the city will be ready to go ahead with plans for its own plant within 90 days.
