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.
