Behind every star is a writer who helped him set there. Today Harry Winkler, as guest columnist for vacationing Aline Mosby, tells how he came to be comedy writer lor George Gobel. By HARRY WINKLER Written for The United Press Hollywood (U.R) On July 12, 1954, I was a production planner at an automobile factory in Richmond, Calif. I had been a political science major at the University of Chicago and the only professional job of writing I had held down was briefly for an encyclopedia company. Only July 13, 1954, 1 was writ ing for the George Gobel tele vision show. I had an office at the glamor ous pastel blue NBC building in Hollywood; I could get a table at the Brown Derby; I was part of the fast-moving world of show business. People often ask how I came to make this abrupt and unusual switch. Various Jobs In the winter of 1948 I was studying political science for a doctor's degree after my release from the army. I had decided to specialize in international re lations with a view towards either teaching or entering gov ernment service. I had graduated from the university in 1937 and had wandered through various jobs such as a factory helper. One evening I was lured to Helsings Lounge in Chicago by my brother-in-law, Edward Fink elberg, who somehow had the notion that I could write for the comedian entertaining there. The comedian was George Gobel, and his performance overwhelmed me. I remember the first story. he told was the "hub cap" routine. It impressed me as a gem in the tradition )f American humor. My brother-in-law introduced me to George as a prospective writ er, and George, with his usual gentle tolerance, encouraged me to submit my works. Between my studies, I began to write humorous bits for George. My knowledge of this kind of writing was less than elementary, and my first efforts showed as much. After a few months I finally turned out a story George liked. He encour aged me to travel with him when ever he had club dates in Chi cago. After a while I got to learn his routines and, more im portant, his approach to humor. I stayed with my college work until . 1951 but my dubious en thusiasm for the academic world had diminished. My wife' and I migrated to Berkeley where I worked first as an order service supervisor at a cable corpora tion. I continued to submit ma terial to George. When he ap peared" on the Saturday Night Reviejy in 1952 on NBC, I was gratified .that several 'of the monologues he did were written by me. In July of 1954 David O'Mal leyl George's manager, invited me to move to Los Angeles to work on material for the forth coming Gobel TV show. I have been here since. Some day, be tween shows, I may yet write my doctoral thesis for the Uni versity of Chicago. Proposed subject: "George Gobel looks at the fiscal structure of Iran." Tamara Sought For Bad Checks Los Angeles (U.R) Mrs. Tamara Adele Rees Courtland, former Army paratrooper who claimed surgery changed her into a woman, was sought by police today on suspicion of passing bad checks. A police all-points bulle tin described the ex-GI as "male or female." Police sent out the bulletin for Mrs. Rees last night, shortly be fore she made her final appear ance at the Hollywood Burlesque Theater in San Diego. The ex-GI, who lectures at burlesque houses on psychology, was believed headed for Los Angeles. Detectives George W. Smith and Gerald E. Wright said more than 20 checks allegedly written by Mrs. Rees had bounced in markets and hotels, including one in San Francisco. One check was for $92, they said. The ex-GI married hair stylist J. E. Courtland III in Sacra mento, Calif., last month, while she was lecturing at a Sacra mento burlesque theater. The police bulletin described the former paratrooper as "male or female, white American, 30, 5 ft., 6 in., 120 pounds and dressed like a woman." The bulletin also said the sus pect's result or purported opera tion performed to change sex . ." Malheur Property Suits Filed at Yale Vale (U.R) Pacinc Northwest Pipeline Corporation . has filed condemnation suits against three properties north of Ontario. The suits were brought against the landowners in Malheur Coun ty Cirpuit Court here yesterday.
