Television Quiz Shows
Falling Out of Ratings;
Efforts for Revival Made
Br WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York (D The TV
quiz show has fallen on lean
days.
It was only a few million
dollars back that "The $64,000
Question" was running one
two in the ratings, "The
$64,000 Challenge" was en
trenched in the top 10 and
"Twenty One" was luring in
such huge audiences it was
giving "I Love Lucy" the
shivers.
But all that is past. The lat
est ratings Tuesday's listings
by the American Research
Bureau show not a single
quiz show in the top 25. "The
Groucho Marx Show" does
hold the number 12 spot, but
I doubt whether anyone clas
sifies it as a quiz. It's a com
edy show in which the ques
tions and answers supply so
much garnishing for Grou
cho's cut-ups.
Revival Determined
However, the TV program
mers seem determined to re
vive the quiz show. It's not
altruism on their part live
quiz packages are cheap to
put together, cheap to carry
and cheap to kill off.
Over the past four days,
CBS-TV has spanked alive
"Top Dollar," "How Do You
Rate?" and "Wingo." The last
made its debut Tuesday night
as replacement for "The Eve
Arden Show."
"Wingo" is a game that

combines general knowledge
(who is the composer of "Car
men?" Name four Central
American Republics. Name
any four characters who died
in "Hamlet") with luck.
Ostensibly, it's possible to
win as much as $250,000 on
the show, but after watching
Tuesday night's offering I
would say this occurrence is
about as likely to happen as
the Washington Senators win
ning the pennant this year.
Luck Category
I would describe the way
the $250,000 can be won "it
falls in the luck category on
the show except that I find
it beyond my powers of de
scription. It involves titles
with hidden letters and the ef
forts of contestants to spell
out "Wingo" with the titles
and is almost as involved a
process as trying to build a
battelship in a beer bottle.
With the beer in.
Let it be said that Tuesday
night a lady contestant won
$11,090. Only she didn't really
win all of it she can lose
some of it next week.
Let it be said, too, that
emcee Bob Kennedy was en
gaging enough, but perhaps
too energetic almost to the
point of muscle spasms.
And let it be said that
"Wingo" may revive interest
in the quiz show, but that I
doubt it.

Look Back: CBS-TV's "The
$64,000 Question" made an
other effort to hype up its
ratings by launching some
thing oalled "The Name
Game" for home viewers. The
idea is to match up your own
last name with letters spewed
at random out of an IBM ma:
chine. To win the contest,
your name has to be some
thing like "Cluybog," "Fly

SEX EDUCATION

the House.
If the bill is passed soon
enough the. building of the
$279,000 park could be fin
ished in time for dedication
in the latter part of 1959 for
the state's centennial.
Neuberger said he hoped to
invite President Eisenhower
to make the dedicatory ad
dress at the park.
Fort Clatsop was the winter

Lower Klamath,
Tulelake Regions
To Protect Fowl
'Washington (IPI Secre
tary of the Interior Fred A.
Seaton asserted Tuesday that
controversial lands in the low
er Klamath - Tulelake region
in Oregon and California
must be used in a manner that
will f filly protect the valuable
waterfowl resources of that
area. .
He said his decision offers
a solution to a controversy
which has existed of con
trolling several thousand
acres of former marsh area in
the Klamath Basin to meet
the Department's needs for
wildlife management and a
federal policy of opening the
lands to homesteading.
Farmed by Veterans
Center of the controversy
has been some 10,000 acres in
the bottom of the bed of what
formerly was Tule lake. The
lands are farmed by veterans
of World War II. The Depart
ment said the leases contain
cropping regulations to pro
vide wildfowl food after the
commercial crops are har
vested. Seaton said the Bureau of
Reclamation is conducting in
vestigations in an effort to
provide substitute wildfowl
habitat in the area. But he
said until "dependable sub
stitute habitat" is an accom
plished fact, his decision
would defer homesteading.
American Motors

first auto firm to take the of
fensive against the United
Auto Workers in 1958 con
tract talks.
The automotive Big Three
General Motors, Ford and
Chrysler have just finished
taking a defensive position in
receiving the contract de
mands of Walter P. Reuther's
UAW.
American Motors "grabbed
the baU" from the UAW this
morning by calling a news
conference to announce its
own ideas about collective
bargaining.
Edward L. Cushman, AMC
vice president in charge of in
dustrial relations, was select
ed to "preview" the firm's
bargaining "approach," even
though UAW-AMC contracts
expire well after the May 29
June 1 . UAW-Big Three' ex
piration dates.
Chrysler Corp. Tuesday be
came the last of the Big Three
to open bargaining with the
UAW.

Klamath Indian's Suit Thrown Out
Khrushchev, Aide
Visit in Budapest
Vienna (IP) Soviet Premipr
Nikita Khrushchev arrived to
day in Budapest with his heir
apparent. Frol Kozlov. on the
first international mission by
Russia's new ruling team.
Moscow Radio reported they
reached the Hungarian catiital
shortly before noon, ostensibly
to commemorate Hungary's
iioeration from the Germans.
More important it was K07-
lov's debut before the world i
and the apparent first step
of a new move to return TTnn-
gary to its pre-revolutionary
state m the Communist world.
The Soviet press Tuesday
confirmed Kozlov's rank right
behind Khrushchev in the
government.
The visit to Budarjest was
Khrushchev's first since the
super secret Communist
"summit" meeting of January,
1957. At that time the Rus
sians moved around in armor
ed cars and kept the visit sec
ret until they had left.
C45 on Highway
Presents Problem
Spokane, Wash. OP) Air
Force personnel tackled the
puzzling problem today of
how to return a C-45 cargo
plane which made an emer
gency landing on a little-used
highway 23 miles northeast of
Boise, Idaho.
The wings of the two-engine
plane became heavily iced,
one propeller quit and one en
gine caught fire while on a
flight from Ogden, Utah, to
Spokane Tuesday.
The pilot and co-pilot, Capts.
Donald Keiholz and Dalton
W. Smith, landed the plane
safely on the highway near
the old gold-mining town of
Idaho City. Both escaped in
jury. The Air Force said it could:
Take the wngs off the plane
and truck it about 100 miles
to Mountain Home Air Force
Base, Idaho.
Tow it to Idaho City air
field 10 miles away and at
tempt to fly it out from there.
Attempt to fly it off the
highway where it stands. ;
Portland HP) The attempt
by a Klamath Indian woman
to halt timber cutting on the
Klamath Indian reservation
was thrown out of Federal
couft here Tuesday.
Judge William East dis
missed the injunction filed by
Coralie Crawford Nelson, Palo
Alto, Calif., against the Bu
reau of Indian Affairs.
Mrs. Nelson had charged
that the Bureau had no au
thority to make contracts for
the sale of timber growing on
the reservation since the
Klamath termination act vest
ed title to the timber in the
individual members of the
tribe. She asserted that the
1957 a m end m e n t s to the
Klamath termination act were
unconstitutional because the
amendments specifically au
thorized the sale of timber.
Judge East said that since
the suit was for the purpose
of h'avine an act of Congress
declared unconstitutional, only
a court consisting of three
federal judges could act on it.
He declined to request such
a panel, declaring that the
case did not present a sub
stantial constitutional question.

called "Young Buffalo Bill"
and later "Broncho Bill" was
carried by the United Fea
tures Syndicate from 1928 to
1950, appearing in about 130

Neuberger Notes
Gains for Oregon
Washington (IP) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D
Ore.) said House and Senate
conferees on the accelerated
highway construction bill
reached agreement Tuesday
providing "great gains for
Oregon" in the authorization
for forest highways and forest
access roads.
Neuberger said the confer
ees raised forest highway au
thorization for 1959 by $5
million, boosting the total au
thorization to $35 million.
He said authorizations for
1960 and 1961 were set at $33
million annually.
Under the bill's present
form Oregon would get $5
million rather than $4,306,
000 in 1959 forest highway
construction. In 1960 and 1961
Oregon would receive a forest
highway allocation of $4,500,
000 for forest access roads, $5
million additional was author
ized for 1959 to bring the to
tal to $32 million. Authori
zations for 1960 and 1961
were set at $30 million annually.
