creator of Al the Busher, and author of aome of our best
short stories (this anecdote comes via John N. Wheeler): One
day President Warren Hard
ing invited Ring Lardner to
play golf with him, and en
joyed the round so thor
oughly, he was in a very
xpensive mood when they
returned to the clubhouse.
"Is there anything I can
do for you?" asked the
President.
"Yes," said Ring. "I want
to be ambassador to Greece."
"Why would you like to
go there?" Harding wanted
to know.
"Because," explained
Ring, "my wife has grown tired of Great Neck."

'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

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
