Benson. , eumunuc aa Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) NBC has unveiled a new weapon against CBS' Ed Sullivan: Six comed ians including the most ghoulish funny man of the century, rotund J o n a than Winter. The NBC de fense against the durable Sullivan show Aline Mosby used to be the "Colgate Variety Hour," but that program turned up its toes Christmas Day. On Sunday, NBC will try a barrage of 60 minutes of jokes ag) ef fert to beat Sul livan's rating. The comics are Hginy Young man, Harry Nimo (the French man jwho always is trying to straighten his tie), Bob and Ray, Paul Gilbert and Winter. NBC Hires Newcomers As most big comedians no longer are youngsters, NBC has been corrahng the new comics and training beginners. Winter is one of the main prizes. He's a former artist and disc jockey from Dayton, O., who fol lows the pattern of comedians being sad. Winter offstage looks as if he had lost his last shoe lace. Onstage the imaginary peo ple in his hilarious routines often wind up drowned, shot or stabbed. "That's just tie kind of guy I am," Winter observed gloomily between rehearsals. "People call me the Charles Addams of com edians. - - "Nine out of 10 comics are afraid to do ghoulish humor. I've found people enjoy it. After all, it's the same reason people found Laurel and Hardy funny. Look at the times Hardy was hit on the head by Laurel." Winter also disc jockeyed in Columbus, O., before hitting New York three years ago. He tried out on Arthur Godfrey's talent Scouts but, "I was beaten by some religious singers doing I believe'." Big Break Comes He got his break as a guest on the Gary Moore TV show. He worked in radio dramas, night clubs and the stage before NBC signed him a year ago. So far he's appeared on two spectaculars and the George Gobel summer replacement show. Making the grade as a comed ian is rough, the sad-faced comic said. "It takes more guts than tal ent," he said. "Just to hang on. A million times I've wanted to quit. You have to have a tre mendous faith in yourself." He added dolefully, "That's why everybody in this business is a little bit off." , 2000 Aliens Report to Immigration Service Portland An estimated 2,000 aliens have filled out address report cards thus far this month, according to John W. Wilson, acting officer in charge of the immigration and naturalization service. Aliens must report addresses each January according to law, Wilson pointgd out.

(U.R) A Texas in surance company owner who ap parently shot himself to give investors his $1,000,000 insur ance is near death this morning. A. B.
