' (International Enright Admits Television Quiz Shows Are Coming Info Lean Days By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York W Dan Enright, the packager wro put together such shows as Twenty One "Tic Tac Dough" and High Low" admitted today the TV quiz show has fallen on lean days. "We've reached a plateau in the quiz cycle," said Enright. "We don't even have any . new Ideas on our boards for quiz shows. We're working on other types of programming. "The strong shows like Twenty One' and '564,000 Ques tion' certainly are going to stick, but I don't think there's any doubt that just giving away big money has lost its appeal." Enright'i contention is backed up by the evening schedule of the three networks. Not a single new quiz show will be launched this fall. And only one new panel show NBC-TV's "What's It For" will be among the starters. Many Closing Up Since last fall, a cluster of quizzers have collapsed, includ ing "High Finance," "The Big Surprise" and "Break the $250, 000 Bank." Enright, the off-camera half of the firm of Jack Barry-En right, points out that one of the toughest hurdles of a new quiz program is its inevitable com parison with "The $64,000 Ques tion." " "The $64,000 Question' was the first big TV quiz," said En right. "It set the standard. In order to make it now, you have to be as good or better than 65.' "Twenty One' is a better show than '64. and that's why it's a success. Certainly, we have a better game . '64' has no Unions Aim Cleanup To Textile Workers Washington (IB The AFL CIO aimed its cleanup campaign at the United Textile Workers (UTW) today but the man who wields the broom warned that racketeering disclosures are hurting labor. Al J. Hayes, chairman of the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices com mittee which began a closed door hearing into corruption charges against UTW leaders, said such charges are playing into the hands of some employ ers. Hayes, who also is president of the Machinists union, said some employers are using the charges to launch a "broad-scale attack designed to cripple our organization." The Textile Workers will be confronted with charges that their two top officers, President Anthony Valente and Secretary Treasurer Lloyd Klenert, mis used about $128,000 in union funds. Senate rackets investiga tors accused the two of taking $57,000 in dues to make down payments on luxurious homes in a Washington suburb. Since the disclosures, the Tex tile Workers have adopted a code of ethical practices that its leaders say is stricter than the code now enforced by the AFL- CIO. Florida Man Seeks Wife in Des Moines Des Moines, Iowa Iff) Iowa's legendary corn - fed beau ties have a certain unfading Quality, according to retired Florida businessman William Sheppard. Sheppard, Jacksonville, wrote Des Moines City Council and Mayor Ray Mills for assistance in finding a "good wife." "You know the great state of Iowa has plenty from which to draw and I thought' you might intervene in my behalf and help me find a good wife. The woods arc full of them and all you need to do to start the ball roll ing is simply shake the bushes," he wrote. "Yes. Iowa has plenty from which to draw." Mills agreed, but took no action on shpoDard's request. "A little out game at all it made it on big money and a good choice of con testants. "But where quiz shows go from here is a mystery. If some body could think up a way of combining entertainment with giving away money to the home viewers, he might have a pretty good show on his hands." Contestants All-Important ' Because of the decline on in terest in big money, said En right, a show like "Twenty One" has to depend for much of its interest now on the contestants themselves. Barry-Enright gives tests to about 250 prospects each week in an effort to turn up new Charles Van Dorens or Harold Craigs. Out of that num ber, about 25 potential guests are salvaged for their three quiz offerings. Strangely enough, the firm's biggest problem is turning up intelligent women for its double domer, "Twenty One." "More women take our tests than men, but it's hard to find any really smart women, particularly housewives," said Enright. "We've 'onlv been able to use seven women so far on "Twenty One' all career wom en. "Housewives just don't keep up on things. I suppose they are so tremendously bored, they take the easy way out and just go to the movies or turn on TV." The Family Council Editor'! note: Th.

He always asks the ridiculous or impossible. e George G. I am 23, the old est of three children, and old enough, I believe, to handle my own affairs. Evidently my moth er doesn't think so. When my father died a year ago, he left me a few thousand dollars in his will. My mother needed some extra cash at that time and I turned the money over to her. She no longer needs that cash, yet she keeps making various excuses for not return ing it to me. Of course, I know she isn't trying to do me out of the money. She just doesnlt trust me to handle that much money properly. This is Just one of many ag gravating things she does. She could, for example, get me a particular job I want by talk ing to one of her friends whose husband works in my field. She keeps promising to do it, but never comes through. She does not have any confidence in my ability to prove myself in this field. Shouldn't a mother have some faith in her son? m Mrs. L.G. I'd like to have more confidence in George, but he certainly makes it hard. Every time I decide to return the money to him, he comes up with another crazy scheme about what to do with it. He talks of investing it very speculative stock or opening some ridiculous kind of business he knows noth ing about. ( The best I can do is try to hold on to that money until George is ready to get mar ried. When he has a girl to steady him, he may be more sensible about using it. As for talking to my friend about the job George wants the whole thing is silly. This friend's husband is just another em ployee and has no influence. It would create an embarrassing situation. There is nothing to prevent George from applying for this job on his own. George always asks me to do some ridiculous or impossible thing for him and then accuses me of neglect or lack of faith if I don't do it. The Council: This mother and son are locked in an unfortun ate pattern that should be brok en before much more damage is done. George appears determined to place himself in a dependent po sition toward his mother, and he is just as determined to punish himself by making sure that she will withhold the very' things he demands of her. If he wanted the return of his money, pure and simple, he would not upset the apple cart by telling his mother about his "crazy schemes" for investment. If he were interested in the job, pure arTd simple, he would explain to his mother that it is often helpful to discuss the field with "just another em ployee" even one who does not have influence. Mrs. L. G. plays into George's hands when she makes excuses and promises, instead of coming straight out with what is on her mind. She should tell George flatly that she would like to hold on to his money for him until he is in a position to handle it better. If she cannot get his agreement, she should turn the money over to him. Whatever money loss he might suffer would not be as bad as the loss of time, happiness and growth caused by this self-created, frus trating situation. The same line should be fol lowed by Mrs. L.G. in relation to the job or any other "ridicu lous or impossible" demand made by George. She should let him know how she feels about it and then drop it. George should recognize that Running Feud Gels In Full Swing In Two Top Comics New York ftPl A running feud was in full swing today be tween two of the nation's top comic strips. . "Li'l Abner" depicts a "black headed old nosey body" named "Mary Worm" and the comic strip, "Mary Worth," includes a "fat-headed egomaniac" called "Hal Rapp." So far, "Li'l Abner" has shown the "real life" Mary Worm as a noisy, mink-coated old battle-axe who is the mother-in-law of her creator, "Allen Flonnder." As pictured by Al Capp, in the United Features comic strip. Flounder wants to get rid of her because she talks to much. The creators of Mary Worth, Allen Saunders and Ken Ernest, have answered "Li'l Abner" in their own Publishers Syndicate comic strip. Under Guidance Under guidance of the Saund-ers-Ernest team Mary Worth has thought "shades of blubeard," as Hal Rapp pushed around his as sistant artist for interrupting "him. Rapp and Flounder, respec tively, are easily-recognizable caricatures of Capp and Saund ers. As the two strips pounded away unmerciful satire, fans be gan to wonder Monday, just how serious the feud was getting to be. A quick check revealed "the disappointing truth." It is all because comic strip creators get along so well. Contacted in Boston, Al Capp said the feud was actually an elaborate plot hatched by him self and Saunders last year at a comic council meeting in Washington. "Although professionals In all other fields were at each other's throats, cartoonists got along well, showing great ad miration for on t another," Capp said.

About 60 detectives turned up for the morning lineup that usually features live criminal suspects. Instead, they found themselves starring in s. sort of filmed quiz show. Photographs of the city's 13 most wanted criminals were projected on a screen. The de tectives were asked to write down on slips of paper the names of those they could iden tify. The slips were not signed. The results were "fairly good," Deputy Inspector John Ronayne said. . Another quiz show was planned for other detectives in about two weeks. Committee Hearing Set on Tax Reduction Salem ilPI Republican Sen. Warren Gill of Lebanon said Saturday a public hearing has been called for Sept. 14 at the state office building here to per mit Oregon taxpayers to say what they think about tax re duction at the state level. .

Holmes said there is a surplus of 70 million dollars in the state cof fers, and he wants to provide 17 million dollars of tax relief to Oregon taxpayers. it is not his mother's confidence he needs at his age, but his own.
