Berle and Phil
Silvers, with
the rivalry al
ready landing
Uncle Miltie
in the hospi
tal. Last year
CBS' Ed Sulli
van and NBC's
& Hi
Aline Moibr '
Comedy Hour
fought to the death on Sunday
night for the top ratings. Sulli
van emerged victorious. The
Comedy Hour has given up the
ghost and expires Dec. 25.
Now, the Berle-Silvers war is
the new fracas on TV row. Sil
vers will win by default tonight
because Berle was .rushed to the '
hospital Monday suffering from
"extreme. exhaustion" from the j
strain of trying to oust his rival :
in the ratings this week. j
Atlack Plotted
Before Miltie collapsed I
looked in on his rehearsal to see j
how the old master of TV was ;
plotting his attack. As the time j
he looked tired, but he insisted 1
he wasn't worried.
"I don't have to prove any- j
"thing to the audience," Berle ;
declared then.
"'ve done 397 live hour
shows," he said. "I have a life
time contract with NBC." !
His co-workers, however, said i
he had been rehearsing harder
than usual in an effort to nose
out Silvers' "You'll Never Get
Rich" on rival CBS.
In Berle's place tonight, view
ers will see guest stars Gale
Storm, Vic Damone, Dick Con
tino and a film of an old Berle
show with Tallulah Bankhead
and Frank Sinatra. !
, Silvers kayoed Berle's last
show in some of the ratings, and
Milton's camp complained it
lost because the announcer on
the show preceding Berle's urged i
viewers to switch to Silvers' on
CBS, sponsored by the same
company.
New Rule Revealed
"Now there's a new rule No i
sponsor can urge viewers to turn
to another network," said Berle.
Mr. Television has a solution
to the old problem of networks
pitting the shows against each
other. One-set viewers either
lose out on a good show or keep
busy flipping channels.
But under the Berle system,
when he would appear on NBC
the other networks would carry
his show, too, in a "pooled" tal
ent setup. In other words, no
competition.
"When I look at TV 1 have to E
make a decision." he said. "I f
like Gleason, but Como is on
at the same time, too. It's unfair
to the viewers.
"But, then," he shrugged, "TV
is a survival of the fittest. Dog
eat Dog."

More Home Rule
Urged ior Municipals
Miami, Fla. -4U.R) A special
assistant to President Eisen
hower called on states yesterday
to give cities and other urban
areas more home rule and more
representation in the state legis
latures. Meyer Kestnbaum of Chicago
told city officials attending the
American Municipal Congress
here that more authority "must
be given to cities and municipal
areas."
"The constant urbanization of
this country, and it's increasing
all the time, demands "that state
legislatures realize more repre
sentation must come from urban
areas," Kestnbaum said.
Gov. Paul L. Patterson of Ore
gon told the municipal delegates
how his state solved the appor
tionment problem after 40 years
of bickering without results. He
said the voters adopted a consti
tutional amendment providing
that if the Legislature did not re
apportion each 10 years, then
he secretary of state must re
apportion. Use Mail TriBune Want Ads
