Ed Sullivan Incredible Worker With Enormous Concentration William Swale is on vaca tion. Today's garest writer is Carmine Sfcalle. right band man to Ed Sstfivaa fox 23 years. By CARMINE SAHTULLO Written for United Press New York IP) I've known and worked with my boss, Ed Sullivan, for 23 years. We met first when he played his second week in Vaudeville at Loewe's State Theater on Broadway. I was a kid then, working backstage, and I used to take his column from the theater over to the New York Daily News Twenty three years later, I'm still doing that, and a variety of other things, too. What sort of a man is Ed Sul livan? Well, offhand, I'd say that he is an incredible worker with an enormous power of concen tration and a tremendous com petitive instinct. TV was made to order for him. His experience in Vaudeville and in staging World War II shows at Madison Square Garden and in military hospitals equipped him with a keen knowledge of acts and per formers that was to come in handy in TV. Couple that back ground with his ability to get along well with all sorts of peo ple plus his good taste and you Navy Pilot Survives Parachute Jump From 35,000-Foot Altitude Moffett Field, Calif. W A Navy pilot who parachuted from his jet plane at an altitude pt)35,000 feet said today he "re membered nothing" of his fall until he came to on the ground The pilot, Lt. (j.g.) Thomas W .TarUsnn 25 Los Altos. Calif. suffered only a scrappd chin. He w one of the few ever to sur Qve fall from such an altitude Chaned Route The incident happened Sun day as Jackson was returning Willi Ills vv lllluai, J - GtRirge Schwenderman, from a fliajit to Los Angeles, instead oi O proceeding directly to their base, thev decided to fly over Sacra mento and Stockton to practice giStrument Hying in tneir tur Uruman Tigerjets. "Our fuel started to get low so we began to descend slow lv." Jackson said. "I had drop ped to 42,000 feet, and was a Tug, Helicopter Join In Search for Bodies Eureka, Calif. OPl A Navy tug and helicopter today joined wtih a Coast Guard cutter in searching for the bodies of four men lost when a Navy anti-submarine patrol plane crashed into the ocean 20 miles off the Cali fornia coast Saturday. The Navy tug Cahokia from San Francisco, equipped with divers and diving equipment, and a helicopter from San Fran cisco, combed the area where the wreckage of the plane was found shortly after it crashed. The Coast Guard cutter Avo yel was also searching the area. The Coast Guard said that the condition of the smashed pieces of wreckage found floating in the ocean Saturday indicated that all four men aboard were killed. The plane was en route from San Diego Naval Air station, where it was based, to Port An geles, Wash. The Navy said the plane car ried a pilot, copilot, one crew man and a passenger. little bit past Stockton when my engine flamed out. Jackson tried in vain to start it. Then he found his controls no longer worked. "I knew t had to bail out, but I waited until 35,000 feet before I pulled the ejector release. "I let myself fall free until I was past 25,000 feet. I wanted to be sure there was enough oxy gen for the chute. Then I pulled the 'ripcord. "Then I blacked out. From the time I opened the chute until after I landed I remember noth ing. Then I was in the midst of a crowd of people mumbling "He's the pilot'." Deputies Rushed To Scene Jackson landed in a field off the old Tracy Island Road, mid way between Tracy and Stock ton. Several persons who had seen him descending had called the sheriff's office, which rush ed deputies to the scene. Jackson's plane crashed in a field five miles away. A Coast Guard helicopter flew him to San Joaquin General hos pital, where doctors found he was no more than shaken up. From there he was flown back to Moffett where doctors put him in the infirmary despite his protests that he was all right. Murder Charge Filed Against Portland Man Portland HP) A murder charge has been lodged against Elton Campbell, 54, Portland, for the fatal stabing of Luther Morris Riden Sunday night in north Portland. Campbell admitted the stab bing but said he was defending his property against Riden and two other men, police reported. Campbell said he had served eight years in the Oregon state penitentiary for second degree murder. He was released from prison in 1950. have it, in a nutshell. He can also be a pain in the neck to those who work with him closely. Because he makes decisions quickly, always has since I knew him. he expects everybody else to work with equal swiftness. For nine solid years, he's had to put on 52 shows a year plus ev erything else he must do, so, ev ery June I start dusting out the storm cellar. June is generally the month when his nerves get frazzled This June was no exception. How did I handle him? Just took him in stride. If he looked icily at me, I looked back with" equal frigidity. Or I just said that I was going out to get a sandwich. Usually, that night, I'll get a call at my house. "Carmine, if I acted rudely today, please for give me. My nerves were bounc ing." You can't stay mad at a guy like that. Particularly so, be cause in all the basic things, he is 100 per cent He is very sentimental. Not long ago, he got all of his work finished in advance so he could go down to Fred. Waring's Shaw-nee-on-the-Delaware inn to play in a one-day golf tournament. This was to be a big vacation. But on the same night, his home town, Port Chester, N. Y., was honoring the high school base ball team. So he played the round of golf, jumped into his car and drove almost 100 miles to get to Port Chester to make his speech at 8:30 p.m. Right On Time He didn't have his shower, didn't have his dinner, hut he was there on the dot- Without even being there. I know he signed hundreds of autographs enthusiastically and made every player on the team feel he was getting a genuine thrill out of meeting them. And he was. Since I first met him, Ed al ways has thought big. He never seemed to be vastly concerned about money. Long betore an., one on TV ever signed acts for big salaries, he did it quite cas ually. He signed Elvis Presley for $50,000 because he was cer tain it would pay off in excite ment for a nine-year old show. It certainly did. He gave Sonja Heinie $13,000 to skate three minutes in her TV debut. The reason NBC has had rough sled- ing with my boss is that he isn't a penny pincher- When they sit in with Ed in poker game for talent, bet on him. As far as ratings go, this past year, in 52 Sunday shows, the Ed Sullivan show won 48, NBC won 4.
