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

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.
