Ooone, Ford, Clooney Shows
Classified by Video Critic
By WILLIAM EWALD
Viw York HP) The musical
(flows on TV fall roughly into
yiree classifications small
ton, suburban and big city.
Thursday night is a study in
all three types. And strangely
nough, all three follow each
other not only in respect to time
but in terms of sophistication.
They are the Pat Boone show
and the Tennessee Ernie Ford
and Rosemary Clooney shows.
The Boone show shuns sophis
tication. Boone is a young fel
low with a frank, open face and
he has what the ladies call "a
nice manner." And they are
right! He is nice.
But his 30-minuter lacks the
drive and aggressive qualities
that the Ford show (suburban)
has to some extent and the Cloo
. ney show (big city) has in even
greater degree.
From the production stand
point the Boone show is pretty
flat fare. Thursday night, he
sang "All the Way" in front of a
potted plant and "Long Tall
Sally" while he was standing to
the side of some steps. He gave
out with "Stardust" while he
stood in front of a guitar player.
The dancing on the Boone
show is pretty stale and the
jokes are about on a par with
the dancing.
The Ford show, on the other
hand, is a little more glossy. Oh,
I know Tennessee started out as
g country singer, but his folksi
ness is pretty polished by now
ind even though he'll bless "the
little pea pickin hearts" of his
udience, he's pretty much a
Utttion wagon man right now.
3"he theme of Ford's show is
Jind of suburban togetherness
nd Thursday night, he and
juest MacDonald Carey went
through a rather long routine
bout Christmas presents in a
rather slickly furnished living
room.
Too. there is a singing group,
"the Top 20" on the Ford show
that are strictly chrome-plated.
Thursday night, they did "Lone
some Road," against a stark
background with a rather weird
tree hanging over the back of
he set. It was not the sort of
thing you might see on "Ozark
Jubilee."
Rose Clooney's show comes
on late and it has late evening
manners. Thursday night Miss
Clooney had the Hi-Lo's with
her and they helped open the
show with "Great Day" while
tons of balloons dangled in the
air and dancers dressed in car
nival outfits fandangoed. "That
was sure a mover," Miss Cloo
ney said at the close of the num
ber and she was right.
Billy De Wolfe, another guest
went through a routine about
making a $67 call to London on
a pay phone and the Hi-Lo's
came back in English coat
sweaters to sing "Heather on
the Hill." All of it, very stylish
Miss Clooney herself is a very
knowing and swinging singer
who dresses pretty formally in
keeping with the character of
her show.
I suppose there is room on TV
for all three types, but frankly
if I have to make a choice I'll
take English coat sweaters and
"Heather on the Hill" over
"Long Tall Sally" and a flight
of steps every time.
Presley Granied
60-Day Deferment
MemDhis: Tenn. OP) Elvis
Preslev was granted a 60-day de
ferment from the Army today so
that he can complete his fourth
Hollywood movie.
Milton Bowers Sr., Presley's
draft board chairman, an
nounced that the three-member
selective service board had voted

tary service. The singer, who
amassed a fortune from his re
cords, movies and various Elvis
Presley enterprises, had been
slated to report to Camp Chaffee,
Ark., Jan. 20.
Presley's Hollywood studio
had asked for the deferment say
ing "preparatory investments"
amounting to almost 5350,000
had been made for Presley's
fourth movie "King Creole" to
be started in New Orleans in
mid-January.

ment in a letter toBowers the

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Mother, Child Escape
In Auto-Train Crash
Oregon City (IP) An Oregon
Citv woman and her infant
daughter escaped serious injury
here Thursday when a South
ern Pacific freight train struck
her car, hurling it into the front
of the Oregon City Enterprise
Courier newspaper office.
The 22-month-old daughter of
Mrs. Arnold Thomas was thrown
from the car and snatched to
safety by Martin Clark, a mem
ber of the Enterprise Courier
editorial staff. Two plate glass
windows in the front of the
newspaper office were shattered.
Mrs. Thomas told police that
her attention was diverted mom
entarily as she was driving down
Singer Hill toward the SP grade
crossing. She said she did not
hear the freight train nor the
warning signal.
Clark said the child was un
conscious by the time he reached
it but that she began to revive
in the newspaper office. Mrs.
Thomas suffered from shock but
otherwise appeared unhurt in
the mishap.

ed Thursday when his car went
off Highway 99 near Halsey
while trying to pass a bus, State
Police reported.
Anderson's wife, Rosa, was
treated for minor injuries at a
local hospital.
Honorable Discharges
Wait Many Released
As Security Risks
Washington HP) Army of
ficials estimated today that about
220 of 726 former officers and
enlisted men discharged as se
curity risks between 1948 and
1955 may soon be granted fully
honorable military records.
This means that about 30 per
cent of all former army officers
and enlisted men separated for
security reasons since the gov
ernment's loyalty program be
gan may receive honorable dis
charge under a special Army
review program.
Reconsideration Completed
The Navy and Air Force have
regular discharge review pro
grams, but no special security
review on discharges similar to
the Army's.
The Army disclosed Thursday
it had completed reconsideration
of 650 security cases since the
program began in March, 1956,
and 76 more remain to be de
cided. Army'personnel officials em
phasized that while the changes

were designed to correct any un
fair or harsh discharges, they
did not signify a let-up in Army
loyalty security standards in the
years since the end of congres
sional investigations of military
security policies.
They pointed out that the pro
gram was being administered
under regulations issued by
Army Secretary Wilber M.
Brucker in 1955. Those required
"common sense" judgments on
the significance of previous sub
versive ties and consideration of
the soldier's overall military rec
ord when discharged.
The 726 discharges did not
concern security violations while
in the Army. Most of the cases
involved personal association
with Communists or other sub
versive organizations before
Army induction. Many falsified
their Army records to cover up
such ties.
But about 30 per cent of the
soldiers, officials said, were
charged with lesser so-called se
curity offenses such as having
a relative in the Communist
party and may now receive the
highest military discharge status
"honorable."
