$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

On The Side

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.

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.

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."

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."

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

cialist" supervising the distribu
tion of the assets of the Klamath
Indian tribe in Oregon. ' !
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."
