'Witch1 Given Credit for
Good Performance in TV
'Hansel and Gretei7 Show
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
New York OP) It's a
temptation to sum up Sunday
night's NBC-TV "Hansel and
ureter as
f r n n ts rn
" V 6
II witch and
what. So
will.
It was Hans
Conried as
witch named
Hazel and a
quartet of
William Ewald witch appren
tices named Eenie (Will Able),
Meenie (Paula Laurence),
Miney (Shai Ophir) and Moe
(Sondra Lee) who shot almost
all of the spark into the eve
ning. I guess you could call
it a kind of witch-fulfillment
Anyway, the truth is that
aside from Conried and his
cuddlessome crew, none of
the cast had very much to do
during the hour. Rise Stevens
turned in a sweet and skill
ful attack on a tune that
believe wSs called "Evening
Prayer," but aside from that
bit, she was wasted.
An actor named Red But
tons struggled valiantly in the
semi-comic role of Hansel,
Barbara Cook as Gretei
didn't have much to do and
she did it as well as you can
do not much. Rudy Vallee
was elbowed to the side.
As for the proceedings,
they were standard TV fairy
tale complete with dancing
animals, animated shrubbery,
indifferent tunes and the sort
of primitive humor calculat
ed to satisfy those primitive
creatures, children.
But to get back to Conried
I don't believe I've ever seen
the man give a bad perform
ance. His silly witch Sunday
came equipped with a dust
cap, false nose, blonde curls
and an elegant raglan-sleeved
rag, and was a fine-fingered
masterwork.
As the villain of the piece,
Conried lost out in the end.
But I couldn't help feeljng
that the lanky Conried
along with his student witches
were the only real winners
of the evening.
NBC-TV "Dial M for Mur
der" was one of those 90
minute specs that couldn't
miss. And it didn't.
For anyone who has seen
"Dial M" on the stage or in
the movies, the plot line was
freely chartable. But as some
one said to me the other day,
what counts in a drama is
not what happens so much as
how it happens.
"Dial M" happened fine.
George Schaefer's dexterous
direction milked, I would say,
a maximum of juice out of
the cW animal. The danger in
staging a Broadway play like
"Dial M"' is to shoot it as just
that a three-walled play
with just enough camera
shifting to keep it kosher.
But Schaefer gave the whole
business a fluidity and dimen
sion that shaped it beauti
fully for TV.
The cast was a gasser with
Maurice Evans, Rosemary
Harris and John Williams
carrying the big ' ball. An
thony Dawson in the bit role
of a stinker also was a fra
grant plus.

Salem (IF) Better means
for measuring the financial
needs of public supported
colleges and universities is
the goal of a regional legisla

higher education which open
ed in Denver Sunday, Gov.

budget, the use of student
fees in financing higher edu

Steam Out of Slump
Bv End Of June?
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP The
White House has received a
new, expert appraisal of the
recession: the "steam" will
be out of it by the end of
June.
The Labor Department,
meanwhile, announced Fri
day night that idleness among
workers covered by unen
ployment insurance climbed
to a new postwar high of
3,363,300 during the week
ended April 12. The total ex
ceeded the previous week's
record'by 49,000.
On the brighter side, the
department's Bureau of Em
ployment Security said claims
filed by newly laid off work
ers declined last week to
446,400, a drop of 15,400. But
the drop was not as sharp as
in the corresponding week in
1957.
The government said total
unemployment in mid-March
including both insured and
uninsured workers reach
ed a 16-year peak of 5,198,
000. Forecasts Differ
Some of President Eisen
hower's top advisers say that
after June there will be a
comparatively level econo
mic period until late summer
or early autumn when a
definite pick-up is expected.
Their latest forecast does
not jibe exactly with such
economic prognosticators as
Secretary of Commerce Sin
clair Weeks. He said last
week he thought the country
was in the worst of the slump.
A third school of thought
was found outside the gov
ernment among economists
employed by private organi
No Censure Given
To Reed College
Denver (IP The Ameri
can Association of University
Professors recently failed to
take censure action against
Reed college of Portland.
Red had previously been
mentioned in a report sub
mitted before the convention
opened here in connection
with the dismissal of Prof.
Stanley Moore. The associa
tion committee on academic
freedom noted, however, that
Moore had been given a
year's severance pay after his
dismissal.
Five schools were censured
by the association in cases in
volving faculty dismissals.
Experts of the U.S. Cham
ber of Commerce, for ex
ample, are of the opinion the
recession still is in progress
but will hit bottom in the
second or third quarters of
this year. This means, simply,
by September.
A member of the Presi
dent's corps of economic
specialists said . indications
now were that the broad in
dices of income and produc
tion would not continue
downward after June.
"I think the steam will be
gone out of this thing by the
end of the second quarter,"
he said. "Business probably
will be milling around in the
usually lousy months of July
and August, but after that we
should see developments in an
upward direction.
"It will be autumn, how
ever, before we get what you
would call a real, "lift."
Carpenters Talk
Shorter Week
Astoria (IP Qregon car
penters, now on a 40-hour
week, voted at their recent
convention here to' work for
a shorter work week and
urged all building crafts to
join in the drive.
Volney Martin, secretary of
the Building and Construc
tion Trades council, said he
assumed carpenters would
campaign for a six-hour day.
The 33rd annual convention
was told that all building
trades crafts would have to
win the same work reduc
tions as carpenters or else
they would take over carpen
ter work.
Delegates also voted to "ex
tend a welcome hand to the
Teamsters" in spite of that
union's expulsion from the
AFL-CIO earlier.
William Callahan, member
of the Oregon Unemployment
Compensation c o m m i ssion,
said Friday that Gov. Robert
Holmes' decision to borrow
$14 mililon from the Federal
government to . bolster the
state compensation fund was
a sound and reasonable move.
THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE
Chicago (IP) Brookfield
Zoo officials thought the ar
rival of a male monkey from
Africa would be just the
spring tonic for two sad-faced
female monkeys. But the new
arrival's thoughts did not light

three sad-faced monkeys.
Woman Recovers
From Plane Crash
And Exposure
John Day (IP) Mrs. Patri
cia Davis, 35-year-old wife of
Fesno, Calif., orchestra lead
er Bruce Davis has continued
to respond to hospital treat
ment after surviving a three
day ordeal of loneliness and
severe cold beside the snow
covered wreckage of their
light plane in Oregon plateau
country.
Dr. Martha van de Vlugt,
co-director of John Day gen
eral hospital, said the most se
rious phase of Mrs. Davis' in
juries remains her frozen
hands and feet, particularly
the lower legs, and feet."
"But she moves her toes,"
the doctor said, "and has
some sensation in her feet."
Mrs. Davis' rescue by air
force helicopter followed a
heroic walk through rugged
snowbound country by her
husband who left the crash
scene to bring help. Both
were hospitalized here.
Davis suffered two- broken
ribs, sore feet, exposure and
exhaustion but was described
in "good condition" Saturday.
The Davises, en route to
Spokane, Wash., from Fresno,
to visit his parents, had al
most been given up for lost
when he stumbled into a
ranch home near Dayville
about 25 miles west of here

it ran low on gas.
Beck To Appear
On Traffic Charge
Tulare, Calif. (IP) Former
Teamsters Union boss David
Beck Sr., 64, Seattle, has been
ordered to appear in Tulare
Justice Court May 14 for al
legedly driving on the wrong
side of the road.
Beck was cited Friday night
by Highway Patrolman Ken
neth Galloway, who avoided a
collision with Beck's car while
chasing a speeder by skidding
into the dividing strip of
U. S. 99 about four miles
north of here.
Beck explained he attempt
ed to turn off the highway
onto an access road to Tagus

went into the northbound
lane. He then turned around
and headed south in the lane
as Gallowy sped north in pur
suit of the speeder who got

Daylight Saving time Sunday.
The Wahpeton, N.D., city
council voted to put clocks
on "fast time" Monday morn

Breckenridge, Minn. But
Grand Forks, N.D., vetoed
DST despite the fact that East

Most of Alabama remained

Redstone arsenal wouldn't fall

employees live, also changed
to DST, but neighboring
Athens stood pat, forcing the
Redstone workers who live
there to rise one hour earlier
to get to their jobs.
Kentucky had a new law
providing fines of S25 to $500
andor Jail terms for officials
of towns or businesses that
ignore the state's long-standing
anti-DST statute.
But the new legislation
doesn't become effective until
June 19, so Louisville and
some other cities planned to
observe "voluntary" Daylight

Then they'll revert to Stand

his sleeves and established a successful law firm in his
home town Lebanon, Oregon. Not satisfied with his
roll as a successful counselor for his many clients, he
organized the Lebanon Boat Works, creating payroll
for his home town. He is Secretary of the Willamette
Fibre and Chip Board Company Inc., and the Lebanon
Industrial Development Corporation, that has and is

LET'S LOOK AT WARREN GILL'S
DYNAMIC LEGISLATIVE RECORD!
WARREN GILL has more experience in state government
than any other Republican candidate for Governor, served
ten years in the Oregon State Legislature, is Republican
Leader of the Senate. Committee appointments have in
cluded Roads and Highways, Veterans' affairs, Forestry and
Mining, Game, Alcoholic Control, Elections and Privileges,
and Financial Affairs. For the past four years Chairman of
the ScDate Judiciary Committee.
WARREN GILL cast more than 37,000 votes affecting the
people of Oregon. Has been the author of important legis
lation, resisted government domination of local affairs.
Stated on Senate floor, " abhor big government; the bigger it
gets the smaller you and I become." His intelligence, hori
sty, integrity, popularity and courage are acknowledged by
members of both parties. WARREN GILL SAYS WHAT
HE MEANS AND DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO.
A test of his leadership and ability to get things done came
during the recent special session, when Republicans refused
to settle for a 6 tax cut proposed by the Democrat Gov
ernor. Thanks to Republican solidarity, the people received
an income tax reduction of over 20. One of Gill's colleagues
said of him, "The way Warren held us together, to fight as a
team during those trying days, was nothing short of spec
tacular!" As chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee and
Republican leader in the Senate, WARREN GILL has excel
lent "on the job" experience and "know how" in the func
tions of state government, and knows what action is required
to get results for the people of Oregon.
The experience WARREN GILL had as an' employer;, in
lumber camps, confirmed his belief that UMBER IS A
CROP TO BE PLANTED AND HARVESTED thus pro
tecting our forests for future generations. His understand
ing of our forests problems was of great value in his service
on the Forestry and Mining Committee of the Legislature.
As a member of committees of the house and senate! Sen
ator Gill had the opportunity of learning all sides of our
hydro-electric development programs and the effect on our
economy ... he fully appreciates the economic value to the
state of our power resources development and will do every
thing possible to encourage the rapid, orderly development
of our power potential as well as to sea that our fishing in
dustry, irrigation-reclamation developments are not retarded.
As a result of sponsoring legislation for the people of
Oregon, WARREN GILL has played an important roll in
getting things done for the state.
