FSood of Musicals Planned
For Television This Season
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Slaff Correspond
UP Staff Correspondent
New York (IP) The TV
machine is stuffed with musical
shows this season 11 new ones
and seven holdovers. One of the
big puzzlers in the trade is how
many will wind up victims of
fallout.
"A lot of them aren't going to
make it," said Polly Bergen with
melancholy detachment. "A lot
of people are going to be off. Per
sonally, I wasn't too sure my
self whether I wanted to do this
show. And I haven't decided yet
whether I was right in doing a
series."
Miss Bergen, a 27-year-old ex
port of Knoxville where she was
issued as Nellie-Paulina Burgin
is jockeying one of the new mu
sical klatsches an every-other
week Saturday night affair on
NBC-TV.
Busy At Home
"I didn't know whether I
wanted to work this hard and
then there were all my family
responsibilities," explained Miss
Bergen as to her skittishness in
taking on a show. "I have a 10-year-old
daughter (her husband's
by a previous marriage) and a
husband to take care of and an
11-room apartment to run.
"We do an awful lot of enter
taining and in fact, when Dean
Martin fell out as regular alter
nate to my series, they offered
me the full 26 weeks on NB
and I turned it down. I didn't
want to do it It was just too
much."
Miss Bergen, a fugitive from
the movies and nightclubs, hit
TV paydirt last season when she
capered as Helen Morgan on a
CBS-TV "Playhouse 90."
"My biggest problem this year
was deciding whether I should
take on my own show this sea
son or be a sought-after guest.
One of the biggest problems in
the business is getting guests for
shows.
Got The 'Berries'
"But, well, I felt I had reached
a point in my career where Xi
I was to ever have a show, now
was the time. After that Morgan
thing, I felt I was at a climactic
point in my career. We felt we
had to cash in now."
Her first show this fall was
razzberried by some of the crit
ics, but Miss Bergen shrugged it
off. She also shrugged off two
of the three writers she hired
for that first show.
"Believe me, when I say I
didn't resent the reviews," said
Miss Bergen. "On the day before
the show everybody knew it was
not falling together the way we
had hoped it would. But it was
the first show and nobody had
the courage at the last moment
to do anything about it.
"The critics were right. But I
also felt that first shows should
Six Persons Die
In Crash of Plane
Uniontown, Pa. OF Six per
sons, including a vice-president
of Standard Oil of Ohio, were
killed when their twin-engine
private plane slammed into fog
shrouded Summit mountain near
here Sunday.
Bodies of the victims, all from
Ohio, were' found scattered out
side the wreckage. The plane, a
Lockheed Lodestar, skidded to
a stop near the stainless steel
Jumonville... Cross, then burst
into flames after cutting a swath
through heavy woods.

on a knoll about eight miles
east of here, is visible for miles.

Jumonville Methodist Training
center.

tims as Warren F. Noon, Middle
town, Ohio, the pilot; Theodore

broker.
Young Girl Fails in
Farallones-SF Swim
San Francisco HP) A 22-year-old

boat at 10:45 p.m. (PST).
