(International) State Seek New Industries By Various Advertising Gimmicks Edilor'i not: Thii ii anoth er in serin of dispatches on how states arc Tying for new industries in the current in dustrial boom. By EVERETT R. IRWIN United Press Correspondent Chicago (U.R) States are battling for new industry today with weapons that range from high-pressure advertising gim micks to analytical surveys and low-key fact sheets. Some are working on a shoe string, with the governors dou bling in brass as the chief con tact man with industry. Others hire big staffs of advertising, Around Hollywood ty ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollwood (U.R) Danny Thomas returns to TV tonight with the first widower role in TV serial hist ory -and limp ing on a brok en leg that, he revealed, has cost him $19,- 000. Jean Hagen, the wife in the popular come dy series for Aline Mosby three years, qflit last season on grounds she wanted to try other roles. Thomas had no sooner survived this crisis in the scripts for the fall show when he broke his an kle last summer two days before rehearsals were to start. The scripts had to be rewritten again and the program beginning date pushed up three weeks, costing the network a small fortune. A $19,000 Leg "And that leg personally cost me more than $19,000 because I had to pay for the actors that had to be laid off the scripts that had to be rewritten," Thomas admit ted. The two mishaps suffered by the Emmy award-winning star of "Make Room for Daddy" (ABC-TV) would be enough to make any actor take up ulcers, but Danny is certain they'll turn out to be advantageous. "We've made assets out of these liabilities," said Thomas, his heavy eyebrows wiggling with every word. "The writers had scraped the bottom of the barrel for plots for the program-now suddenly the barrel is full again. The show will have an entirely different twist a widower with a broken leg trying to raise his to chil dren. "Later on a new romance will enter the story. Maybe we'll end the season with a wedding!" Thomas is sure the fans will approve of his gamble, because they selected the plot themselv es. Danny originally decided to replace Jean with a new TV "wife" as is the custom. "But we got 7.000 letters in four days begging us not to hire another wife." he said. 'They felt a replacement would destroy the believability of the story," he explained. In the first show Jean's "death" as Mrs. Williams is ex plained when Danny mourns he has to play both father and mo ther to the two children. But the tragedy is not detailed because, "we want to entertain, not de press." Thomas' broken leg is worked into the plot by having him fall on his son's skates. TV Wives Replaced Thomas can't remember an other TV or radio serial in which the plot is changed drastically to fit an actor leaving the show. When Joan Caulfield left "My -Favorite Husband." Vanessa Brown was her replacement. Sid Caesar is working with his third "wife." Janet Blair. "This is a precedent. And if the show is successful, it will be a textbook for television," declar ed Danny. "Of course," he grinned, "I don't know what effect this 'death' will have on Jean Hagen's career. She might use me for 40 jillion dollars:" promotion and publicity experts to hustle new business. Almost without exception United Press survey showed, the state agencies charged with pro moting industrial development are working closely with local communities, area development groups, chambers of commerce: railroads and utilities. The survey turned up a wide variety of promotions. A sam pling included: The Michigan Department of Economic Development launched on July 1 a $100,000 national advertising program keyed to the theme. "Michigan is good to industry. The Kentucky Departmen of Economic Development this year set up a new division, said to be the only one of its kind in the nation, charged specifical ly with promoting agricultural development by attracting food processing plants. Winthrop Rockefeller's Ar kansas Industrial development commission formed about 80 lo cal industrial development corp orations to prepare local areas for new industries. Gov. Charles Russell and other top Nevada officials are seeking to obtain a 125.000-acre desert valley near the Colorado river and Hoover dam from the federal government for an ii dustrial development project. Kentucky and some other Southern states lure Northern businessmen with escorted tours of possible factory sites. The Wyoming Natural Re sources Board sponsors an an nual industrial workshop. The state authorized Ari zona State college to offer an engineering course to help- staff prospective electronic, aircraft and guided missile industries. Indiana has carried on promotional campaign in nation al business magazines stressing that the Hoosier state is "debt free." Indiana's Department of Com merce and Public Relations also has drummed on the fact that the state has no net income, use retail, sales, corporate or manu facturers' taxes. Other states stressing low or reasonable taxes include Illin ois. Rhode Island, New Jersey, Arkansas. Wyoming and Utah. Ohio officials say industry likes the state's workmen's com pensation and jobless pay laws. Ohio turned down United Auto Workers chief Walter Reuther's guaranteed annual wage propos als and refused jobless pay to strikers in the long Westing house dispute. The-Dallas Chamber of Com merce says Texas labor laws pro vide a favorable "labor climate.' Nebraska offers the "good old- fashioned bait of low cost, trou ble-free operation." And South Dakota stressed what Noel Tweet, head of its industrial de velopment and expansion agency calls its "unspoiled industrial cli mate." Several states notably Lou isiana. Missouri and Alabama use their rivers or waterways as selling points. Florida points to its proxmiity to Latin-American markets. And Minnesota plugs the recreational advantage afforded by its 10.000 lakes. Arizona. Nevada and Utah of fer their vast stretches of cheap desert land for industries re quiring much space, and their inland locations away from coast al areas vulnerable to enemy "at tack. Nearly every state, of course, emphasizes its natural resources, the potential market within its Mining Council Slates Meeting Thursday Night The Northwest Mining Coun cil, Inc., will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday at 8 p.m. in the courthouse audi torium.

S. Air Force base Monday. A third TU104 with still more Russians was reported winging over Europe headed for Manston. London airport rushed buses to Manston to take the artists back to the capital. Rain clouds blocked the Lon don airport, where a welcoming committee waited in vain, and the Russians requested they be diverted to another field. They were sent to this one 70 miles .from London, site of a U. S. fighter wing and an air-sea res cue unit. Manston has one of the long est runways in Britain and has occasionally been used as a re ception point for airlines divert ed from London by rain or fog. It is officially an RAF base still but is operated almost entirely by the U. S. Air Force. Closely Guarded Base These were the first Russian planes to land here. The arrival of the jets appar ently floored the smooth running Air Force unit. Telephone lines to the field were jammed even before the first plane touched down. Callers were told the pub lic information officer was not immediately available. The Manston base, turned ov er to the U. S. Air Force in 1950, is rated so important that motorists are forbidden to ling er on a main highway that pass es near the end of its huge run way. Pedestrians walking by at night are invariably challenged by guards. The TU104 is a commercial version of Russia's four-jet Badg er bomber, currently being boost ed as a top prestige plane by t'-.e Soviets. It made its first appear ance in the West in February when it flew former Premier Georgi Malenkov to Britain. Trouble Over Hats Aboard today's planes were members of the famous Bolshoi Ballet flying in for a London season at the Covent Garden op era house Wednesday. The visit finally was confirmed late last week when the Russians backed Tuesday, October 2, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Danny Kaye Denies Zionist Connections Chicago (U.R) Actor Dan ny Kaye has denied any Zionist connections following an an nouncement in Jordan that his films would be barred in that country because he was "an en thusiastic Zionist." Kaye, now appearing in Chi cago in his own comedy revue, said Sunday, "I am not a Zion ist or a Zionist propagandist." Regarding the ban he said, "I couldn't care less." down on a threat to call off the visit because of theft charges against Soviet discus thrower Nina Ponomareva. - Madame Ponomareva, in Lon don for an Anglo-Russian track meet, was arrested on charges of stealing five 90 cent hats from a London store. She did not ap pear in court and has been re ported both in the Soviet Em bassy and safely back in Moscow. The Russians called off the track meet and went home and the Bolshoi Ballet said later it could not appear in London un less the shoplifting charges were dropped. But they decided to come anyway when the Foreign Office explained it had no pow er to interfere. S3 ANN MILLER rSttrrini in MGM t "THE OPPOSITE SEX in Cinemascope and MettoColof HAVE YOU HEARD?
