Groucho Marx Show
Said To Be Oldest
On Television Net
By VERNON SCOTT
United Press Writer
Hollywood I" Today's
quiz:
Q. Who has the oldest con
tinuous TV show on the air.
A. Groucho Marx. His "You
Bet Your Life" program moved
into its ninth season this month.
The mustachioed comedian
not only holds the longevity rec
ord, he also has the astonishing
distinction of being among the
top ten in each of his years as
quizmaster.
"It's really nothing," Groucho
naid with exaggerated noncha
lance. "But I'm afraid to look
back over the years too many
people chasing me."
Chides Romanoff
Ho took out time to peruse
the menu in Romanoffs elegant
restaurant, and signaled the
Maitre 'D. "Get Romanoff over
here," he ordered.
Prince Michael himself march
ed over, his face reflecting the
dread of a much abused target
for Groucho's blasts.
"Mike, you fraud," the comic
asked, "Is there anything edi
ble on this menu. The whole
thing looks suspicious to me."
Romanoff flinched. "I don't
know why I ask you about the
food," Groucho went on. "You
can't afford to eat in this joint
either."
After five minutes of wrang
ling, and much to the discom
fort of Romanoff, Groucho ord
ered a raw hamburger with a
single caper and a soupcon of
raw onions.
Romanoff departed, mumbling
about the hardships of running
an eatery.
"Because I'm the oldtimer on
TV other performers ask me
how I manage to stay on the
ir year after year," Groucho
gaid. "The answer is that I've
saved my money and remained
independent.
"I'm not kidding about this.

As long as you're Independent
you can do as you please with

job.
"I do the show because it's

it ceases to be fun I'll quit. It's
that simple. Actually, I haven't
thought about quitting."

quiz shows, situation comedies,
panel shows, and now westerns,

"It's coming for sure," he
said, "and the advertisers de
serve it. They've provided such
poor programs people are will
ing to pay to see worthwhile en
tertainment." Groucho was interrupted by
Romanoff who returned with a
pleased smile. His mustache
quivered importantly.
"Incidentally, Mr. Marx." he
crowed, "your brother, Harpo.

Palm Springs restaurant."
' I know," Groucho concluded
dryly. "We just got a report
from his doctor."
Romanoff moved away again.
He didn't come back.
Torrential Rains
Bring Flooding
To Paris of Texas
By UNITED PRESS
New flooding hit Texas today
in the wake of torrential rains
that sent the Colorado river
over its banks and forced the
evacuation of about 100 families
at Ballinger, Tex.
A series of coludbursts Sun
day dumped nearly three inches
of rain at points in central Texas
and up to nine inches in western
portions of the state.
Rivers and creeks throughout
much of western Texas climbed
to flood stage, but the worst
damage appeared to be at Bal
linger. Highways Blocked
Flood waters blocked high
ways to the south and west of
the city and knocked out tele
phone communications. The Red
Cross at Abilene sent cots and
provisions for the Ballinger
evacuees.
Stormy weather was common
throughout the West Sunday,
with only North Dakota, Minne
sota, Iowa andNew Mexico fail
ing to report rain.
East of the Mississippi river,
a vast high pressure center
brought generally fair skies ex
cept for a few thundershowers
along the east coast of Florida.
Overnight temperatures tum
bled under clear skies, with
Phillipsburg. Pa., reporting an
early morning low of 27 and
readings in the 30s common in
New England and the Great
Lakes.
Snow In Colorado
The western rains were mixed
with snow in western Colorado
where 2 to 20 inches of new
snow blanketed the Uncompah
gre plateau in the Rockies.
Light snow also hit the high
mountain passes west of Denver,
but no main highways were re
ported closed.
Forecasters predicted contin
ued scattered showers or thun
derstorms today from the Pacific
to the Mississippi except for
California.
Fair and warmer weather is
predicted for the Mississippi east
to the Atlantic coast.
Japanese Volcano
Erupts at Bad Time
Tokyo (W The sudden erup
tion of Tokyo's "suicide vol
cano," Mount Mihara, appeared
to be a one-shot blast that came
at a bad time, police said today.
The unpredictable volcano
spewed forth stone and lava in
a mighty cough Sunday while
hundreds of sightseers were on
its slopes and rim.
One sightseer, Kiyoma Maki,
24, was killed when hit on the
head by a piece of volcanic rock
while standing on an observa
tion platform. Another 54 were
injured by flying stones and hot
ashes.
The 2-477-foot mountain, not
ed for the many suicides by
leaps into its crater, is on an
island south of Tokyo and tech
nically in the greater Tokyo
area.
