SIX MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tfcurida?, Auguii 28, 1357 Daytime Television May Get Transfusion In New Show Monday By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York U Daytime TV. an area afflicted with tired blood, may get a transfusion next Monday when a new CBS TV what-is-it, "The Verdict Is Your." makes its debut. It'll be a courtroom drama, but with a difference: The lawyers on the show will be real lawyers. The judge will be a real judge. The courtroom stenographer will be a real sten ographer. And the jury will be picked from the studio audience. a reasonable approximation of people. "The only parts that'll be tak en by actors will be those of the plaintiff, defendant and witness es," explained Jim McKay who'll lace each trial together. McKay, a member of the CBS news and sports staffs for seven years, will Baby Raccoon Fils Purse, Feeds From Tiny Doll's Bottle By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York W If you ever have to become foster parent to a just-born raccoon here's a help ful tip. A red leather lady's purse makes a fine incubator. Also, a doll's baby bottle is just fine for feeding a wee crit ter that won't take more than half an ounce at a time. A brand new raccoon, by the way, is not much biggek than a mouse and has to be fed every two hours. These items of pioneering re search were gleaned by Mrs. Mary Cafarelli, of the Bronx, who had a two-hour-old raccoon thrust upon her in an emergency and took it home to raise. Nothing New For Her She had had some experience previously in being a mama to wild creatures. She had taken to her home, in succession, a baby starling, a month-old woodchuck, and a two-day-old Chinese water deer. But none posed the problems of the tiny raccoon, which is now doing fine, thank you, and sport ing the name of Daisy Crockett II. Mrs. Cafarelli is an assistant to the Children's Zoo, a little in stitution that nestles within the immense confines of New York's famous Bonx Zoo. The newborn raccoon was found in another part of the zoo, apparently deserted by its mother. .. Borrows Pocketbook Mrs. Cafarelli borrowed a pocketbook a rather ancient red leather one from a friend. She put a hot water bottle, wrap ped in cloths, inside and put the raccoon cub, well swaddled, on top of the bottle. She got some doll baby-bottles from her daughter, mixed a formula of half water and half evaporated milk, and was in business. The Children's Zoo previously had a raccoon named Daisy Crockett, so the new one has been named Daisy II. It is not two months old and will go into the zoo s soon as it gets a little more stanure. Postage Stamp Was 109 Years Old July 1 Washington IP The U. S. postage stamp was 110 years old on July 1. The first stamps, a five-cent issue with a picture of Ben Franklin and a 10-cent issue with a picture of George Wash ington, were sold in New York City in 1847. The Post Office department said 24 billion postage stamps will be sold this year. Before 1847, postmasters mar ked envelopes "paid" with pen and ink or an ink stamp. They also usually wrote the name of the town from which the letter was mailed and the date. Some local postal officials of the day developed distinctive designs for their ink stamps. These were known as "postmast er's provisionals." FAMILY GRADUATION Worchester, Mass. OP Mr. and Mrs. Alan Carlan, 27 and 26, respectively, received their graduate decrees in physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute at the same commencement. act as a king of reporters during each make-believe case. No Scripts Planned "What we're going to do is make up theoretical cases the first one will be a child custody dispute," contined McKay. "The actors will be briefed on the basic situation and they'll have conferences with their law yers before the show goes on. "But there'll be no script. Ev erybody will be on his own once the show goes on the air. I'll adlib my part, too. We hope the show will combine the best qual ities of drama and the Kefauver crime hearings." The 30 - minute Monday-through-Friday show won't fix any time limit on its cases, ac cording to McKay. A case will be carried for a week, two weeks or even longer if the lawyers get involved in legal razzle dazzle. CBS Auditioning Lawyers The lawyers and judge will be changed with each case. Thus far, CBS has auditioned about 150 lawyers in this area in an effort to turn up a batch with camera appeal. "They're fixing up a little booth on stage for me they're going to call the press room," said the 36-year-old McKay. "I'll operate out of it or conduct in terviews or even go in the judge's chamber wherever any thing seems to be cooking." McKay believes "The Verdict Is Yours" will shoot some juice into after programming, pretty much of a wasteland right now. "And we think it's certainly going to be different in its ap proach than the regular run of daytime shows once we get go ing, we may really create quite a stir."

Liberty Ship Is Floating Hot Rod Newport News, Va. opt A ship building firm here has strip ped down an old Liberty ship, souped up her motor, and test ed her in the harbor at more than 18 miles an hour.

Agenjs Studying Red Announcement Washington W U.S. intelli gence efforts redoubled Wednes day to learn the truth behind the Soviet claim to have fired an mter-continental ballistic rocket. Statements from highest eov- ernment levels showed that so far the govermnent doesn't know what really happened. Experts have said the Russian claim could mean much or little.

He said U.S. in telligence agencies would make a careful study of the announce ment. Acting Defense Secretary Donald A.
