    '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.

It was taut, crisp, exciting.
But something snapped
somewhere along the way,

place in a scene in which a

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

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

position."
Wants Gavin to Remain
Army Secretary Wilber M.

Portland tin Several mo

night they saw a bright ob

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.

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.

people are prying and con

Declining Profits

Portland (in The presi

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."

it the other day, wasn't too
bad."
Two Oregon Men

Oregon men charged with the
burglary of an Anacortes dry
cleaning establishment and
wanted for questioning in con

caped from the local jail Mon

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.

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
