TELEVISION and RADIO By John Crosby n GOLF OK YtLTJIO JT The same man that gave the wotld championship bowling on O television, is now giving us "All Star Golf on ABC-TV (4 p.m. EST Saturdays) and with just about the same success. This genius is Peter de Met. who is unique among sports producers iftthat he produces sports events rather than just points a camera at regularly scheduled sporting events. All-Star Golf is simply an eighteen hole match between two Cof the top pros in the country, including Sam Snead, Gene Sara zen, Tommy Bolt, Cary Middle coff, Jack Burke Jr., Lloyd Mangrum and Dick Meyer. The matches are aftot by six movie cameras and edited down to an hour program. They are real matches and, while a good deal has to be cut out, nothing is put in that doesn't occur. When you see a ball arch down and stop on a green, it didn't get thrown there. Sidney Goltz, producer director, puts his six cameras where he figures a golf pro will hit the ball but they don't al ways. "Even a top pro occassion al hits one likeoa duffer and then I'm in trouble along with the golfer. If we miss the action, It's lost forever." Recently, I watched a rather lopsided match between Dutch Harrison and Jack Burke who was red hot that day. Burke won by five strokes. Even though Burke led for the whole hour,( the match had great excitement. ' "That was one of the finest shots I ever saw," whispered Jim Britt, the sports announcer after Burke had made a great chip, to the green. Burke was lining up a putt at the time and Britt's voice got more and more con spiratorial. "Burke has about a thirty foot butt for a birdie. If he gets it, he'll have a par thirty six." o He it. But they don't al ways. "HarrionTi chance to ttakeC on ffcrott 1A here. The stick l biS itonfltS to by the caddy, (jfcvt'f tft putfc aah, a hearfirrgtlef ' a$ it mised by inchs. (Naturally, ill holes ctn't be shown. The ones left out are dia grammed, showing just what each player did on every stroke. The putting is the easiest for the cameras to follow but Goltz wisely gets in a good deal of all the other kinds of golfing shots. He has found that poking cam eras in their faces doesn't seem to upset golfers. "It's the unex pected noise that throws them off. When they expect the cam era noise it doesn't seem to both er them," says Goltz. The cam eras may even stimulate the golfers. In the first match of the series Ed Oliver broke the course record at the Phoenix, Arizona, Country Club with a 62. The six cameras take about 75,000 feet of film from which 2,000 make up the final pro gram. Winner of the match gets $2,000, the loser $1,000. Also, there are bonuses of $10,000 for a hole-in-one and $500 for every eagle. The prize money is put up by DeMet, who between bowling and golf is handing out annual checks totalling $120,000. Television has always leaned heavily toward the great specta tor sports like boxing or base ball. When DeMet first broached the idea of televising a partici pant sport like bowling, a pas time indulged in by hundreds of thousands of just plain people, the experts thought he had rocks in his head. "Anybody can bowl so why watch it?" But this is precisely the attrac tion. While millions know how to bowl, not very many can roll up scores of 250 and the duffers like to look at the hotshots and get a few angles on how it's done. "Championship Bowling" is now in its fourth year and has a better audience than any other syndicated sports show on tele vision. Golf may do even better, though it doesn't draw very well on Saturday against football. Still, it's done well enough for DeMet to start thinking about televising other participant sports. We may yet live to see the day when a good spirited ping pong match will be on a na tional network. (c) 1957 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Crosby Regarded As Authority on Radio, Television New York John Crosby, whose four times weekly com mentarv on radio and television is now appear- lug in uic iviciii dyfm Tribune is re garded as the o u t s t anding authority i n this field in A m e r ica to day. "No one," says Esquire magazine, "has John Crosby anywhere near the popularity, nor anywhere near the influence of John Cros by." Fred Allen called him the "first literate critic to sit in judgment of radio" and Time magazine says his columns "sock weak pitches right out of the lot . .,." Crosby was born in Milwau kee. Wis., in 1912. He grew up in Oconomawoc and was educat ed at Phillips Exeter and Yale. He left school in 1933 to join the staff of the Milwaukee Sentinel. With the depression came a year's enforced vacation which ended when Crosby joined the New York Herald Tribune as a reporter in 1936. He covered police courts, politics and the amusement industry until 1941. Tried as Columnist After five years in the Army, Crosby returned to the Herald Tribune in February, 1946., When the need for a radio column was felt, Managing Editor George A. Cornish recalled Crosby as "a good reporter" in the amusement field and decided to give him a try. Originally called "Radio In Review," the column soon was retitled "Radio and Television" as Crosby's horizon broadened to include critical evaluation of both media. His column examines and dissects radio and television fare, using a liberal sprinkling of quotes from shows reviewed. His wit and occasional caustic barb, leveled at the industry s shortcomings, make his column thoroughly enjoyable reading. BOY SCOUTS Troop 8 Steven Swartsley was. award ed the star scout rank at a court of honor conducted during the regular weekly meeting of Boy Scout Troop 8 Wednesday.

Emeritus Consultant In Medicine, Maya Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine. Mayo Foundation Or Alvarez A CHILD LEARNS TO SPEAK Few people realize that learn-! ing to speak is one of the great est miracles that happens in this world. No one except man has achieved m e a n i n g ful speech, and our children can learn the art only gradually, and only after their little brain has been erowine and developing for a year or so. The child's hearing mechanism must first develop to a point where he can hear the full range of sound. Unless he can hear the sounds he and other persons make, he will have a difficult time learning to speak. In the first few years of the child's life, thousands of lit tle mechanisms in his brain must develop and be co-crdinated so that he can move his tongue, his soft palate, his vocal cords, his lips and his breathing apparatus all together. One of the most distressing things that can happen to a per son as after a stroke is to find himself unable to say a word. The man may know what he wants to say, but he just can't get anything out. A friend of mine, a physician, left this way after a stroke, which came when he was fairly young, started in with his devoted wife to learn to speak all over again. Each day he tried to learn a new word. Eventually, he trained parts of his brain that were not injured by the stroke to take over the job of enabling him to talk. I mention this difficult process of re-learning speech to give some idea of what a child has to go through as he learns to talk. For all parents of children who are having some difficulty in learning to talk, a book by Mrs. Flora R. Schreiber "Your Child's Speech," can be a God send. It was written interestingly in simple language by an expert in speech who has a great under standing of children and a great love for them. Answers for Normal Children Even mothers of normal chil dren will find answers to many questions which keep coming up in their minds as their child grows up. So often a mother keeps wondering, "Why doesn't my child learn to speak quickly like the child next door," or "Why does he still use baby talk?" or "Why does he lisp or fail to pronounce properly cer tain letters?" or "Why does he stutter?" Some parents worry because a child keeps babbling and using his own jargon longer than they think he should. Mrs. Schreiber says that parents should encourage their baby to coo and to babble. They should not worry about his using jargon because, out of this, will prob ably come normal speech. Mrs. Schreiber says the most important thing parents can do is to talk much to their children and to keep answering their questions as soon as they start asking about things. Only if the parent talks to the child can Le quickly get a good vocabulary. Then he will be fortunate for the rest of his days; he will know the right words to use to express his thoughts. Mrs. Schreiber feels that hours spent in talking to a child, answering his questions and clearing away his fears, may save him later, from years on an analyst's couch. The child should be included in family conversa tion, especially at the table, if only so that he feels that he be longs. A mother should often sing to her child, and she should often read aloud to him. To see how important this is, all one has to do is to study the inade quate speech of some children who were brought up in an old fashioned orphan asylum where no one had time to talk to them. Mrs. Schreiber advises against starting an infant on two lan guages at the same time because this is likely to confuse him and retard him. Let him learn his main speech first, and then after 18 months or so he can begin to learn another language. Stuttering comes often when a child is made to feel tense. Dr. Wendell Johnson feels that if a parent will not fuss about a child's er-ing and uh-ing he will not be likely to go ahead into stuttering. A child can get to stuttering when he is made to feel that he must not hesitate in his speech, but must keep talk ing rapidly. Let the parents re member that they often hesitate in their own speech. Paget's Disease of the Bones Paget's disease of the bones is fortunately rare. It appears to be either a chronic inflamma tion or a condition in which more than the normal amount of blood goes into the bone. This causes the bone to get large, and causes the affected limb to feel warm to the touch. I have never heard of any physician who was sure he knew what the cause was, and I have never heard of any thing that sounded to me like a logical cure for the disease. For tunately, it rarely causes serious trouble. I don't know of any diet that affects it.

By DELOS SMITH New York (IP) Power tools in the hands of enthusiastic ama teurs are "homicidal" tools, ac cording to an authoritative med ical summing-up of the wave of do-it-yourself casualties now sweeping the country. Fatalities have been relatively few, fortunately, but lacerations, multiplef ractures, and burns have been common contrary to medical expectations, however, i relatively few fingers of do-it-yourselfers have been amputated by hand power saws The tone of the summing-up in the technical publication "Pfizer Spectrum" was tolerant and re signed. "Perhaps there will al ways be a totally idiotic sector of the population to climb a me tallic ladder near electric wires," it remarked. "Do-it-yourself has merely widened the opportunities for these people to wipe themselves out, or at any rate present them selves tattered and bleeding all over the doctor's office floor." The summing-up had no fault to find with the "do-it-yourself spirit." Indeed, it found the spirit admirable. "The catastro phe of do-it-yourself is in not knowing," it said. "Professional workmen may be less than gifted," the publica tion said. "Often their sole ad vantage is a body of information which is, as a matter of fact, rather limited and not even up- to-date. Presumably the patient who amassed funds enough to buy a glittering new homicidal tool has the wit to learn tech niques that are simple enough but, at first, merely unknown to him." But the average do-it-yourselfer doesn't undertake even to read up on those techniques be fore he "unwraps his new gadget and looks eagerly about for a place to use it." Now, take the hand power saw, the summing- up continued. Usually it has a wire by which it may be ground ed, but often there is no ground to which it can be attached. So the do-it-yourselfer stand ing on damp ground runs it on, ignorant that perhaps a short circuit will direct 110 volts of alternating current into the handle and so into his hand. He can neither guide the tool nor ( result is a picturesque, deep turn it off since electric current j laceration of the thigh, usually, is paralyzing his muscles.
