Circuit Judge Takes
Writ In Advisement
Klamath Falls (U.R) Cir
cuit Judge David R. Vandenberg
today had under advisement a
petition for a .writ of habeas cor
pus to keep convicted slayer
James Quinton Anderson out of
Oregon Slate penitentiary.
Attorneys for Anderson argued
that the federal law delegating
to the states jurisdiction over
Indians on reservations was un
constitutional because it placed
an Indian under double jeopardy
subject to prosecution both by
the federal government and the
state.
Three years ago Judge Vanden
berg upheld the state's jurisdic
tion in another Klamath county
murder case involving an Indian.
In the current case, the Oregon
Supreme Court has upheld the
conviction of Anderson on a mur
der charge and his life sentence
for the slaying of Richard David
Miller Klamath reservation show
horse breeder.

Beall Company Files
Big Antitrust Suit
San Francisco (U.R) The
Beall Pipe and Tank Corp.. Port
land, has filed a S10.5 million
antitrust suit in U. S. District
Court charging U. S. Steel and
Kaiser Steel Corp. with restraint
of the steel trade.
The Beall company, fabricat
ors of steel products, charged
that Kaiser and U. S. Steel ille
gally conspired in "an unlawful
combination" to monopolize steel
trade in Oregon.
The Portland company said
that because of the "illegal"
combine they were unable to ob
tain raw steel at warehouse
prices and because of the una
vailability of the raw material
were unable to take or complete
jobs.
Salem (U.R) Articles of
incorporation have been filed

BY WILLIAM EWALD
New York (U.R) "Let's Take
A Trip," a show which travels
with a tall master of ceremon
ies, two medium-sized children
and a small budget, might safe
ly be classified as TV's most
modest magic carpet.
A CBS-TV public affairs entry
since April, 1955, "Let's Take
A Trip" lives on a budset of
about $12,000 a week, a TV al
lowance somewhat comparable
to what a rickshaw driver draws
in Shanghai.
Neverthel ess. 'Trips' has
managed within the short span
of its electronic life to gain a
reputation as one of the most
peripatetic efforts on TV, pok
ing into spots as various as a
Seminole village in Florida, a
California horse ranch, a coal
mine in Illinois, a Christmas
pageant in Washington, a fire
house in New Jersey.
Audience Half Adults
"What we try to do on the
show," says Stephen Fleishman,
producer, "is take children into
the world of adults. We figure
the show appeals mostly to kids
in the eight to 12 bracket, but
we know from our mail that 50
per cent of our audience is
adult."
Fleischman's program has
three regulars Irwin "Sonny"
Fox, a 6' 2"' 31-year-old chap
eron and his charges. "Pud"
Flanagan and Giner Machmanns.
both of whom are somewhat
younger and shorter.
"Ginger and Pud never see the
site of the show until the day
before it es on.'- says Fleisch
man. "They're naturally curious
kids and many of the things
they're interested in we try to
incorporate in the show. I would
say only about 50 per cent of
their lines are slanted by us.'"
Fleischman has found that
Ginger and Pud themselves are
most interested in trips that are
connected with sports and
animals, but tend to be less en
thusiastic about trips to factor
ies. "They like things like Red
Cross swimming instruction,
livestock expositions, the horse
ranch and the Brooklyn Dodgers
ball park. But when we visited
something like a factory in the
garment center, which was;
fpretty interesting to me, they;
seemed less worked up," he said.
Action A Must
Since "Let's Take A Trip"
lasts a full 30-minutes. Fleisch
man's problem is to iniect action
into each educational journey.
"For that reason we shy away
from places like. say. a super
market, where the movement is
pretty limited. Another type of
show we've ruled out is an oil
refinery. Same reason".
Most of the 60-odd trips thus
far have originated from out
doors. "And that's quite a prob
lem," said Fleischman. "We did
one show from a frozen food
farm in Seabrook, N. J., where
we had to get the cameras out
in the broccoli without mess
ing it up.
"And there was another hor
rible time when we were show
ing how a skyscraper is built in
New York. Right in the middle
of the program, one of the worst
snowstorms of the year started.
"It's reached the point now
where I get the taste of blood
about half an hour before air
time, but somehow we always
make it. I guess somebody up
there must like us."
Morse 'Pleased' By
Radar Installation
Portland U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse today expressed "pleased
satisfaction" in announcing that
he had received notice that the
Air Force will establish a Sage
Radar installation at Camp Ad
air. Morse said he had been infor
med that the Air Force installa
tion representative in the North
Pacific region has been instruct
ed to complete the design site
adaptation and that the Air
Force is now processing funds
I for construction of the site.
! It is not yet known, Morse
added, when a construction con
1 tract will be awarded.
