Newspaper Page Text$64,000 Challenge, New TV Show, Will Feature Winners of Older Quiz Program Hew York (U.P.) "The S64, 000 Challenge," newest entry in TV's giveaway sweepstakes, is snorting in the paddock. It'll go to the post on April 8 on CBS-TV replacing "Appoint ment With Adenture" which the network has decided to scratch. It will feature such veterans of the TV quiz wars as Gino Prato, Joyce Brothers, Richard McCut chen and Myrt Powers, all of wham won a fair degree of fame and" fortune on "The S64.000 Question." Like 'The S64,000 Question," the new program will be pre sented by the Louis G. Cowan Associates and will feature some of the gimmicks used on the older quiz program the isola tion booth, the sealed questions and the money run from S64 to S64.000. A Few New Wrinkles But "Challenge" will unveil a few new wrinkles of its own. The game will put past cham pions of "The S64,000 Question" against viewers who believe they possess a large fund of knowl edge in specialized fields. Right now, the Cowan office has about two dozen candidates for the "Challenger" role. Cham pions, that is anyone who has On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Oh." my heart, wear hope's crown, In spite of everything Love that died in winter's frown Will live again in spring. Think of what still is thine And of the world so fair. Oh. my heart, do not repine But seek love everywhere. Heine. How old was your mother when you were born? Is she still living? If not, how old was she when she passed on? If your mother was imder 21 when yoti were born and lived to be over 70, then your chances of enjoy ing a long life are unusually good. That's what the longevity experts maintain. I am really getting discouraged. I never get a Break from those experts. My mother lived to be over 70 but she was 31 when I was born. So They Say The chilliest combination on a moonlight 'stroll is a Cancer (June 22-July 23) male and a Virgo (Aug. 24- Sept. 23) female. 0 Instead of cuddling up a little closer, such a pair is more likely to look at the stars and the moon and talk about astronomy and the space patrol. The warmest combination of moonlight stroll ers is a Leo (July 24-Aug. 23) man and a Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) woman. Or, so say the star gazers. Passing By Maj. Hugh Blue. Distinguished Santa Anita turf club official. Veteran of three wars. Erstwhile polo star, art connoisseur spe cializing in etchings), big game hunter and president of the world famous My Name Is a Poem club. He is also a charter member of the Sierra Thrushes, pioneer Pacific Coast organiza tion of bathtub singers. He is a whispering baritone. Among the major's favorite numbers for his matutinal musical program are "Nobody Has Endurance Like the Man Who Sells Insurance," "Only a Rose With a Broken Stem," "I Never Liked O'Regan or His Mother," "Are You There, Moriarity?," "St. James Infirm ary Blues," "Let Mr. McGuire Sit Down," and "There's Music in the Rustle of a Skirt." Among the Married Too many women criticize their husbands too much when talking with other women. If a husband is far below par as a mate, it is a reflection on his wife's judgment in male selec tion. A most maligned husband was Thomas Carlyle. It is re peatedly said his treatment of his wife was boorish, inconsid erate and chilly. Mrs. Carlyle had a nasty habit of criticizing her husband in letters to friends. That's how Carlyle got his bad reputation as a husband. Jane Welsh Carlyle was no angel. Her temper was terrific. She confess ed she threw things at her hus band. She was also quite a flirt. She was the inspiration of Leigh Hunt's Poem titled; "Jenny Kiss ed Me." Mrs. Carlyle was also given to much nagging. She constantly nagged her husband about his smoking. Finally she made the old boy sit close to the fireplace when smoking so he could blow the smoke up the chimney. She said the tobacco smoke gave her curtains "a bad odor." Briefly Smallest child at birth in this country was a New York City infant. This baby weighed 11 ounces when ushered into the world. It survived to become a healthy adult. . . . Don't get too close to your television set. That's bad for the eyesight. Four feet away, is about right.' Draw a. line at that spot in front of your'set.: ' : " gone to S8,000 or higher on "The S64,000 Question," number 20 thus far. This is the way the game will work according to the latest plans of the Cowan office: -The challenger will have to hurdle four questions in his cate gory before he can meet the champion. That will put the chal lenger at the S512 level. Famous Champions Then a champion like Gino Prato or Joyce Brothers squares off against the challenger through the S1000, S2000 and 54000 levels. The champ is asked a question, then the challenger is asked a question of equal toughness. If the challenger and the champ both answer these minor powers successfully, they are placed in different isolation booths and fight it out for the $64,000 mark. For these last four upper level queries, they both are given the same questions but neither can hear the other deliver the answer. If the challenger misses at any time the game is over. If they both miss at the same level, the game goes on. If the champ misses, but the challenger gets the answer (let's say at the $16, 000 level, for example), then the challenger is assured of taking home at least that level of pay (in this case $16,000). If neither misses all the way to $64,000, the challenger is award ed $64,000 for having matched the champ. The challenger then becomes a champ himself, eli gible to be challenged on some iuture show. Flat Fee for Champs The champ is paid a flat fee for each appearance. Right now, Mike Stokey, who has emceed TV's "Pantomime Quiz," heads up a large pack of quiz-jockeys who may be chosen to ' head the show. . Stokey has had three auditions. Hal March, emcee of "The $64,000 Ques tion," turned down the emcee job of the new show, explaining that he didn't want to be iden tified as a quiz-master. Whoever gets the job may have a fair-sized job on his hands. Many observers are con vinced that the big money give away shows have almost run the full cycle in popularity. However, the Cowan office dosen't think so. As one spokes man at that office puts it: "This show has everything big money, known personalities, unknown personalities and a con test. It has a bigger potential than even "The $64,000 Question." ill HE'S FOR IT! Louisiana's Democratic Senator Allen J. Ellender, chairman of Sen ate agriculture committee, shows his reaction after the Senate approved by a vote of 93-2 an omnibus farm bill designed to increase election-year income for farm ers by hundreds of millions of dollars. Friday, March 23, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE e Neuberger Raps McKay Handling Of Choice of Campaign Manager Washington (U.P.) Sen. Ricb ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) yester day accused Interior Secretary Douglas McKay of "outrageous mixing" of politics and Indian welfare by appointing "an old political crony" to supervise the affairs of the Klamath Indian tribe. To make the matter worse, Neuberger told the Senate, Mc Kay has, now picked the ap pointee William L. Phillips of Salem, Ore. to be his camaign manager in the race for the U.S. Senate. No Word of Resignation Thus far, Neuberger said there has been no word that Phillips is resigning from his SlOOO-a-month job as "management spe- Schedule Speaker For Guidance Clinic Dr.. Henry C.

Neuberger ran into a crossfire of Republican criticism in his attack on McKay. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R Wis.) accused Neuberger of mak ing a "completely unfair and unwarranted attack" upon Mc Kay.He said McKay has done "a tremendous job" as interior sec retary. Sen. Andrew F. Schoepple (R Kan.), new chairman of the GOP Senate campaign committee, told Neuberger that Phillips submitted his resignation "sev eral days ago" as management specialist for the Indian tribe. Furthermore, Schoeppel said, it has not "definitely and formally been established" that Phillips will be McKay's campaign man ager, . although it is "probable" he will assume the post. Cites Newspaper Stories Neuberger replied that news paper stories announced over a week ago that Phillips had been appointed McKay's campaign manager, and that he has heard no word of Phillips' resignation as adviser to the Indian tribe. In fact, he said, the staff of the Senate Interior Committee had checked for him with the Bureau of Indian Affairs this morning and been informed Phillips' is still listed as a management spe cialist for the tribe. Even if Phillips has resigned, Neuberger said, "the situation would be indefensible. It would display in the- crudest way that, far from seeking the best qual ified 'specialists' in the manage ment of Indian properties which S1,000 might hire, Secretary McKay has put on the payroll from Indian tribal funds, an old political crony and functionary of his."
