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."

Georg. G. Mother has no
faith in me.
Mrs. L. G. 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.

New York Defectives
Answer Questions
New York (IP) Detectives
found the shoe on the other
foot at police headquarters Mon
day they had to answer ques
tions instead of asking them.
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.
