JUT,," f
Hollywood (U.R) The smash
surprise comedy hit of the tele
vision season turned out to be
VTl&Zw-S'"1 a rolypoloy
.J&fxii movie director
V' V. f , who refuses
to be made
into a bigger
star.
Nobody was
more amazed
than Alfred
Hitchcock, the
master of
Aline Mosby movie whodu
nits, when he became the only
new successful TV personality
by introducing bis drama series
on CBS-TV and poking fun at
the commercials.
But while other new stars
would eargerly push onward and
upward, Hitchcock admitted to
day he's resting on his ratings.
"Yes, there's been talk about
my emceeing an entire 'spectac
ular," the English film maker
confessed in his droll, pixie-ish
manner.
Hitchcock Sought
"The network people also
wanted me to do a comedy show
just by myself. But that would
be a mistake. I would be drift
ing into a field in which I
shouldn't be, I am a director."
Hitchcock, a veteran of such
memorable hits as "The 39
Steps," "The Lady Vanishes" and
"Rear Window,' was asked to
direct a TV series beginning last
fall and, "The offer was so good
my agent couldnt resist it."
Because of his full length
movie work, Hitchcock had time
to direct only four of the first
39 TV films for "Alfred Hitch
cock Presents." He hired other
directors for the other films, but
he wasn't worried about the
public thinking he made them
alL
Reputation Protected
"I protect my reputation by in
troducing each story and the
commercials," he explained. "I
also felt that because the format
is rather macabre, we should
balance the ' stories with some
comedy introductions. And it
makes the show a little differ
ent." Hitch admits the sponsor
"sometimes gets a little nervous"
about his jibes at the commer
cials until he reads the high
ratings! Once the director shrug
ged on the program. "The views
of the sponsor on this program
are entirely his."

Appling Testifies
On Telephone Call
From Washington
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington The recommen
dation on which the Interior De
partment granted patents to 15
disputed Al Sarena mining
claims in Rogue River National
Forest was made by the bureau
of mines official who supervised
ore sampling of the claims, con
gressional investigators were
told Tuesday as they resumed
hearings on the controversal
case.
R. N. Appling, formerly head
of the bureau's Grants Pass of
fice but now stationed at Spo
kane, was on the witness stand
all afternoon. Applinj said short
ly before he completed a re
port on the results of an assay
of the disputed claims, he re
ceived a long distance telephone
call from Clarence A. Davis, who
was then the department solici
tor in Washington, D.C.
Thought Assays Good
"Mr. Davis phoned me on Dec.
29 and asked about the sampling
and the assay results," explained
Appling.
"I said (to David) I though the
assays were sufficiently good to
warrant exploration of the prop
erty," added Appling later.
Appling was referring to as
says results he had received
from A. W. Williams Inspection
Co. of Mobile. Appling's writ
ten report was sent from his
Grants Pass office to his superior
at Spokane Jan. 2 and forward
ed to Washington Jan. 5, where
it was received Jan. 8.
Solicitor Davis rendered the
department's decision, ordering
the 15 claims paten te to the min
ing company, on Jan. 6.
While these basic facts were
nailed down in Tuesday's hear
ing, committee members differed
sharply over Appling's qualifica
tions to advise Davis about the
claims, as well as over other
aspects of the dispute.
When Sen. Barry Goldwater
(R-N.M.) asked Appling if he
knew what the mining law re
quires, Appling said he had
never read the law and was un
sure of its requirements.
Goldwater, trying to point out
that the law required only that
a mineral discovery be proved
rather than that the minerals
be of certain commercial pro
portions, asked Appling if he
was aware of this.
"No, sir," replied the witness.
"And you are with the Bureau
of Mines?" asked the senator.
"As I said, I've had very little
to do with patent cases," App
ling responded.
Later, under other question
ing, Appling pointed out that as
a graduate geologist from the
University of Oregon, he had
had experience in judging min
eral values.
At another point, Appling said
he had appraised -the entire
group of Al Sarena claims the
eight undisputed, as well as the
15 in dispute.
"Based upon the apparent size
of the body (or ore) ' and the
assays I saw," he said, "I thought
it was worthy of exploration."
Assistant Counsel Robert Red
wine suggested that Appling
"went beyond your instructions"'
when taking into account the
eight adjacent undisputed
claims.
"It seemed to me the whole
property was to be developed,"
Appling said.
Noted As 'Afterthought'
Much questioning Tuesday
centered on the phone call be
tween Davis and Appling, which
Appling had noted "as an after
thought" in his written report
on the assay results. The "after
thought" was typed at the end
of the report apparently on a
typewriter other than the one
used on the main body of the re
port. Appling swore he added it
on one of two typewriters in his
office, and that it had not been
added in Washington, D.C, to
support his testimony that Davis
had sought his counsel about the
value of the claims. The commit
tee ordered the report sent to
the F.B.I. to determine the type
writers on which it was written.

How about the first words
spoken by babies? Isn't it a fact!
that the baby whose first word is
either "Mama" or "Papa" is the
exception rather than the rule?
What was the first word ut
tered by your baby? I heard of a
baby whose first spoken word
was "Jiggs!" That was the name
of the family dog. I also heard o
a baby whose first word spoken
at the age of 11 weeks was "Hel

Rockne topped all coaches in
making substitutions. In 1928 in
a game between Notre Dame
and Loyola university in New
Orleans, Rockne changed his
quarterback six times in 36 sec
onds! With 36 seconds to go to
the end of the game, the score
was 6 to 6. Rockne then sent in
six quarterbacks in quick succes
sion, each with a different play.
The sixth quarterback substitut
ed. Johnny Niemic, scored and
won the game.
Passing By
Tommy Lyman, veteran vocal
ist, dean of night spot entertain
ers, one of Damon Runyon's fav
orites. Mark Hellinger was a Ly
man fan, too. Whenever at a spot
where Tommy was warbling,
Damon Runyon always request
ed him to sing "Montmarte
Rose." Mark Hellinger always
asked for "Melancholy Baby."
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Who
was A. Toxen Worm? A. A cele
brated. Broadway press agent.
Was of Danish birth. Full name
was Conrad Henrik Aage Toxen
Worm . . . Q. Who wrote the song
titled "There's a Little Bit of
Bad in Every Good Little Girl"?
A. Grant Clarke .... Q. I claim
Lionel, John and Ethel Barry-
more appeared together in the
play "Peter Ibbetson." Right? A.
John and Lionel were in the play
mentioned, but Ethel was not.
Only stage play in which the
three Barrymores appeared was
J. M. Barrie's "Pantaloon."
So They Say
Women born under Scorpio
(Oct. 24-Nov. 23) are spotlight
hunters. Their greatest aim is to
be the center of attraction. If
surrounded by fewer than six
men at a cocktail party, a Scor
pio woman feels like a wallflow
er. Thats' why the Scorpio-born
females go fo? the deep-plunging
neckline, tight fitting gowns,
queen size "falsies" and power
ful, provocative perfumes. Or, so
say the stargazers.
Breeding
Most of a man's good charac
teristics are inherited from his
mother. A healthy intelligent
woman of strong character will
have an outstanding son regard
less of the make-up of his father.
So maintained Col. E. R. Brad
ley, who carried the thought in
to the breeding of thorough
breds. "Everything depends on
the dam," he frequently said.
The colonel bred many great
race horses, including four Ken
tucky Derby winners.
Asides
"I'll have a ham and cheese
sandwich on rye and no lettuce,"
I said to the lunch counter at
tendant. Said he: "Mister, you
are making a mistake in not tak
ing lettuce. It contains vitamins,
E, B, G and and C." . . . All in
telligent, discerning experienced
pipe smokers have a number of
pipes which they smoke alter
nately. Bing Crosby carries four
pipes with him at all times.
Sidelights
"I'm from Missouri, you've got
to show me" was first said by W.
D. Vandiver, representative from
Missouri, in a speech before the
house of representatives ... A
cigar smoked after dinner seems
to be from two to three times
better than it really is. That is
why the best place to introduce
a new brand of cigars is in restaurants.
Flood Victim's Body
Found on Sandbar
Myrtle Creek (U.R) The body
of a Milo, Ore., man, swept to
his death in the south Umpqua
river during the December
floods, was recovered yesterday.
Coroner L. L. Powers said the
body of Cecil R. Conner, 36, was
found on a sandbar near the
Shell Oil Company plant.
Conner was" lost Dec. 25 when
he tried to cross the raging river
in a small rubber boat.
He was one of 14 victims. of
floods and bad weather.
