I 'High Adventure7 TV Show Said Not High Adventure United Press Correspondent New York (IP) CBS-TV's "High Adventure" "true thrilling adventures never be fore experienced by civilized man!" took civilized viewers and uncivilized TV reviewers on a true thrilling trip to Africa Wednesday night. Like its predecessors this season, this "High Adventure" was narrated by Lowel Thom as and was just chock full of those tidbits of information that help build great cross word puzzles and quiz cham pions. Thus, shown a shot of pyg mies, we learned: "the pyg mies won't cut down a tree because they believe their an cestors live in them." Or, faced with a crocodile we were informed: "the croco dile which the ancient Egyp tians worshipped" Or. taken to Kenya, we heard Thomas tell us in sepulchral tones: "Kenya, home of world famous taxidermist, Paul Zim merman." Well, I tell you, that made me sit up all right. I had never thought of Kenya quite that way1 before. Not High Adventure The trouble with "High Ad venture", of course, is that it is not really high adven ture. It never really digs into any of the regions or peoples that it visits, and during each episode you always have that sneaky feeling that' you have been here before, only the place had a different name. The ceremonies on "High Adventure" are staged and the staging didn't even bother to pretend that a raid by tribesmen on a camel caravan Ronald Perry For U.S. Bank Program Ronald Ray Perry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Perry, 203 Elm st., Medford, a senior at Medford High school, has been selected for the work college program sponsored by the U.S. National bank and has started training at the Medford branch, according to Allan F. Perry, manager. Under the program, he will receive a 51,000 college schol arship and a guaranteed posi tion with the bank after grad uation. The program was started by the bank in 1950 to pro vide the bank with, its future leaders. It is open to outstand ing high school seniors in Ore gon cities where there are bank branches. Selection of students for the program is made on the basis of teachers" i and principal's recommends- j tions and final interviews and tests given by the bank, Perry said. Work For A Year After high school gradua tion, young Perry will work for the bank a year before en tering college, at which time the bank will pay tuition fees and a textbook allowance. Thursday. January 23. 1958 Calls Flood TV Studio as UFO Speaker Censored New York IF Viewers flooded CBS with phone calls Wednesday night after a man who believes flying saucers exist departed from a pre pared television script and was promptly cut off the air. The network issued a state ment quoting Donald E. Key hoe, a former Marine Corps flier who now is an official of an organization that keeps track of flying saucer reports, as saying he had not been cen sored. Keyhoe said he had misunderstood network rules requiring advance approval of statements to be made on its programs. Keyhoe, speaking on "UFO: Enigma of The Skies," said on the air "Now I'll tell you something you haven't heard about unidentified flying ob jects." Almost immediately Key hoe's voice, was silenced, though his picture remained on TV screens. A CBS spokesman said di rector Robert Costello saw that Keyhoe's unscheduled re marks were not in' the script and that his time was about up anyway. He ordered the camera and sound shifted to program moderator Douglas Edwards. The sound went off as ordered, the spokesman said, but the camera remained trained on Keyhoe. Viewers from as far away as Canada began phoning CBS stations and the network headquarters here demanding to know what Keyhoe was about to say and why he wasn't allowed to say it, CBS reported. CBS was unable to say. Keyhoe made a -statement re gretting "the misunderstand ing" and left without reveal ing what he had planned to say, the network said. was anything but makebe lieve. I seem to remember that in the first "High Ad venture" this season there was some phony hocus-pocus with some natives in New Guinea which the show pre tended was genuine. Every body howled and rightly so. "High adventure" and its cameras may get around a good bit, but the show never really gets inside any of its subjects. As a result, it winds up kin to all those corney, yawny travelogues the movies used to show in the long ago that drove the cash customers to the popcorn counter. Workman-like Job VBS-TV's "Armstrong Cir cle Theatre" did a workman like job Wednesday night when it investigated celestial crockery, sometimes known as flying saucers. "UFO: Enigma of the Skies," it was titled and rep resentatives were called in from both believing and scoff ing factions to kick the plates around. The Air Force was represented by an officer who wrote off 98.1 per cent of sightings as balloons, aircraft, astronomical phenomena and what have you. (I don't have anything, honestly, sir.) Maj. Donald Keyhoe, a be liever challenged the figures brought up a few examples of sightings which he ' believed indicated intelligent, piloted Wedgewood is somewhere out there. Prof. Donald Manzel, a Har vard astronomer, said a pox on everybody and it's all non sense 100 per cent of the sighters are unqualified ob servers. Selected Under the program, he will : attend college four terms, then work a year and attend school a year until graduation. The prograin takes six years to complete. The student is carried as a full-time bank employee dur- ing the program, and is con-; sidered on leave of absence i while at college. j Young Perry attended the junior engineers and scien tists summer institute at Ore gon State college last year. His high school activities in clude participation in base ball, basketball a.nd football. He has been president of the Spanish club, a member of the National Honor society, Science club and the Presi-: dents' club. !

A search for a bomb planted in Central High school was called off early this morning after civ ilian guards employed by the school failed to turn up any explosives.
