'StucHo One Show, Slips By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York tin It was back on Nov. 7, 1948, that "Studio One," a drama beamed out of Manhattan, made its debut on a network of eight sta tions. From those small begin nings, grew a TV giant. In the ensuing years, it was "Studio One" that helped nurture such acting talent as Charlton Heston, James Dean, Grace Kelly and Eva Marie Saint, such directing talent as Franklin Schaffner, Yul Brynner and Sidney Lumet, such writers as Reginald Rose, Tad Mosel and David Shaw. It' was "Studio One" that tackled such chewey pieces as Gian-Carlo Menotti's "The Medium," Henry James, "The Ambassador," H a w t home's "Scarlet Letter." It was "Stu dio One" that turned out a "Macbeth" and modern-dress versions of "Julius Caesar" and "Coriolanus." It was "Stu dio One" that can be credited with: "Twelve Angry Men," "D i n o," "Mr. Arcularis," "The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners," all TV Tim Catches Up But time caught up with "Studio One" and in recent years, the excitement began to disappear from the show. For every decent hour, there were a half-dozen mediocre offerings. It began to look tired. And so, late last year CBS TV decided to move "Studio One" to Hollywood, to jazz up its bones with stars and give it more room to maneuver in the 4500 square feet of re hearsal halls and 12,000 square feet of sound stages In its West Coast TV castle. : 'Where did the Wilsons get that gorgeous new convertible?7 The answer is this.

The play was called "Brotherhood of the Bell" and it starred Cameron Mitch ell, Joanne Dru, Tom Drake and Pat O'Brien. Technically Perfect Job The production was slick, glossy, polished. It was a pro fessional job"n the best Hoi lywood sense it was as technically perfect as say. Ted Williams swing, a Ray Robinson jab. a precision kick by the Rockettes And for the first half hour or so, it seemed to me that the play, a melodrama about a secret organization dedicat ed to the overthrow of de mocracy, had some substance It was taut, crisp, exciting. But something snapped somewhere along the way, The first sag certainly took place in a scene in which a group of newsmen scoff en masse at the revelation that such a secret terrorist or ganization could exist with Hollywood type actors and actresses in the role of re porters). And in its final collapse occurred m its closing mo ments a frantic mish-mash of fist-throwing, gunwielding and good government agents coming out of the wall to clear up the mess. The nick of-time solution was a little like the old, old Hollywood westerns now seen on the late, late, late, late show in which the cavalry rode to the rescue in the last reel YOUNG ARCHER DEADLY Moultrie, Ga.

(International) Gavin Probably Won't Quit; Presses for Weapons Research Washington OP) Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin said today there is still a "50-50 chance" he won't quit his job of lead ing the Army's fight to match Russia's missile might. At the same time the out spoken three - star general stepped up his public attack in the Army's behalf calling for money to increase weap ons research and nearly dou ble Army manpower to 28 divisions. Gavin expressed his views in an interview after he was reported to have told Senate investigators Monday he de cided to retire after being in formed he was "no longer be ing considered for promotion . . . to a more responsible position." Wants Gavin to Remain Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker issued a statement saying he wants Gavin to re main on as chief of 'Army re search and development. He said Gavin "has a brilliant fu ture in .the Army and is cer tainly four-star material." Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) chairman of the Senate Pre paredness subcommittee be fore which Gavin appeared, warned today against "even a hint of reprisal" against military men who oppose ad The Hollywood Scene Hollywood tin Marlon Brando, embattled with gos sip columnists for not reveal- 7 ing details of his marriage, will talk about almost anything else including - why he won't discuss his personal life. Question why haven't vemon Scott vou aDDeared on TV? Answer the medium is not entirely satisfactory. Bud gets for TV films don't allow for carefulness in prepara tion. Live TV is hazardous because it lacks rehearsal time. Q Do you have a prefer ence for leading ladies? A None. Business Bores Him Q you formed a produc tion company, Pennebaker, two years ago. What are your plans for producing movies? A My company co-produced "Sayonara," and we'll be making "Comanchero" at Par amount very soon. I don't like to talk business, it bores me. Q You're being mention f J' ed as a strong contender for4an( go to work," he a second Oscar for "Sayo nara." Do you ever perform with an Oscar in mind? A Naturally, an actor has such things in mind. But it's never the basic objective. Q Do you believe perform ers have as much right to pri vacy as other citizens? Demands Privacy A It's not a matter of be ing entitled it's an absolute requisite. The trouble is ev Bright Object Seen Over Portland Area Portland tin Several mo torists, including a county constable, reported Monday night they saw a bright ob ject resembling the glaze of a meteorite over the Portland area. Tom Miller. Clackamas county constable, said he saw the bright object as he drove near Sandy. He said it appeared to "hit the ground near Canby." Three drivers on Portland's east side and two Washington county mo torists also reported seeing the object. They said it was blue first and then orange as it neared the ground. Officials at the Portland airport said it probably was a meteor. HISN 'N HERN Hartford, Conn. (IP! The Richard O. Robin family has two automobiles with license plates HISN and HERN. ministration policies before Congress. He said Gavin's treatment "certainly will make others hesitant to speak frankly and candidly." Sen. Estes Kefauver (D. Tenn.) a subcommittee mem ber, said Congress must pro tect officers "who speak sin cerely and openly." He urged Brucker to refuse to retire Gavin and give him "the pro motion he deserves." Adm. Rickover 'Worried' Another officer, Read Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, told the inquiry that lagging research programs and a lack of sense of urgency among top offi cials have left him "very much worried that it is al most too late to match the achievements of the Soviet Union. Rickover, assistant chief of the Navy's Bureau for Nu clear Propulsion and "father" of the atomic submarine pro gram two years ago but was turned down by "Navy sub marine officers." In a related development, key congressmen forecast de feat for proposals to create a single military chief of staff. Chairman Carl Vinson (D. Ga.) of the House Armed Services committee said if such a bill gets to his com mittee "it won't get out." By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer eryone's life in this country is public property. This fact is significant when you consider we have the highest crime rate in the world, the highest delinquency rate, the most al coholics, that $2 billion worth of tranquilizers were sold last year, and that half the hospi tal beds in the U. S. are occu pied by mental patients. Anyone who objects to the intrusion of his private life is considered to be idiosyncra tic, bizarre, uncooperative and dishonest. But I can't win. Too many people are prying and con ning me. Declining Profits Predicted for 1958 Portland (in The presi dent of the First National Bank of Portland predicts that 1958 will be a year of "tougher competition and de clining profits." C. B. Stephenson gave that outlook Monday to the Cham ber of Commerce. The banker told his audi ence, however, not to be "dis ciples of gloom and doom." . "Let's pull up our socks said, flex- "Keep your thinking ible.' Stephenson said that 1958 should be no worse than 1954 "which, as one merchant put it the other day, wasn't too bad." Two Oregon Men Escape From Jail Anacortes, Wash.

RAIN LASHES TRANSVAAL Johannesburg, South Africa W The worst rains in living memory have marooned many towns and villages in the northern Transvaal, reports reaching here said today. Twenty-two and a half inches of rain have washed away hundreds of native huts since Thursday. Food supplies were reported low and rail lines were blocked by floods. No casualties were reported. 8S Chairman Richard B. Russell (D.-Ga.) of the parallel Sen ate committee also has op posed the idea. Adm. Arleigh Burke, chief of naval opera tions, said Monday such a play would "lay the founda tion for disaster." Gavin, while he did not call for a single chief, startled of ficial Washington in an ap pearance before Johnson's group last month by urging scrapping of the present joint chiefs setup in favor of a general staff .or senior mili tary officers.
