George Cole
Denies Slaying
Of Policeman
Des Moines, Iowa-flJPD-Tat-tooed
ex-convict George E.
Cole denied today -that he
killed San Francisco Police
Sgt. Joseph E. Lacey during a
tavern holdup , two and one
half years ago.
Cole, 32, who was one of
the FBI's "10 most wanted"
criminals until he was cap
tured Monday night, said he
left California while on a
drinking spree and "was
afraid to go back because I
had violated my parole by
leaving the state."
Cole said he knew nothing
more about Lacey's fatal
shooting in a San Francisco
bay tavern, Dec. 30, 1956,
than what he had read in
crime magazines.
Accused of Shooting ' '
Thomas Hamrick, who is
serving a life sentence in San
Quentin prison for his part in
the slaying, accused Cole of
firing the two bullets that
killed Lacey.
Cole admitted he knew
Hamrick and saw him at
Hamrick's apartment the
night of the slaying when he
returned Hamrick's pistol to
him.
"But I wasn't with him any
more that night," Cole said.
i Cole was taken before U.S.
Commissioner James Bennett
Tuesday and jailed under $50,
000 bond pending extradition
proceedings.

of ascent will slow down from
the pace set in the past two
weeks.
The only warning to be
found in the brokers' predic
tions is to buy only on a care
ful, selective basis.
Martin Gilbert, analyst for
Van Alstyne, Noel Co., says
there is no reason to believe
the upside strength is likely
to weaken and predicts even
higher levels over the inter
mediate and longer term. He
says any pause for profit-taking
will be only temporary.
In view of the recent sharp
advance, adds Bache. Co., it
would not be surprising if a
slower pace developed in the

that any profit-taking that
might develop will be "of
only minor consequence to the

Television Introduces Several
Partnerships in Entertainment
Editor's not: This is the
last of three dispatches on
show business teams why
they've broken up and why
very few new ones are be
, ing formed.
By RICK DU BROW
UPI Hollywood Writer
Hollywood (DPD - The late
George Bernard Shaw once
remarked to British star Sir
Cedric Hardwicke: "You're
my fifth favorite actor."
"All right," said Sir Cedric,
"who are the first four?"
"The Marx Brothers," re
plied Shaw.
Nearly everyone in every
generation has a favorite en
tertainment team. Few of the
old-time partnerships remain,
and few new ones, have been
formed.
But TV has come up with
several partnerships that have
caught the public's fancy.
They have one thing in
common: . They are, for . the
most part, real people in real
situations unlike .the old
time teams that depended
mostly on songs, dances and
jokes.
Jokeless But Funny
There are, in some cases,
jokeless but funny or human
like Marshal Dillon and Ches
ter, the Maverick Brothers
or "The Thin Man" and his
wife.
In other cases such as
Jack Webb and Ben Alexand
er in "Dragnet" or Ward Bond
and Bob Horton in "Wagon
Train" they may .be just
working partners."
And in still other cases,
they apply the successful An
dy Hardy movie technique in
such family shows as "Father
Knows Best," "Leave It to
Beaver" and "Ozzie and Har
riet." Why . are the new - style
teams becoming more and
more prevalent? Partly be
cause there aret only a few
of the old-style teams left -taxes
have made it more prof
Olfl IfJJ
itable for them to work as
"singles."
Holdouts on TV
The holdouts on television
include Lucy and Desi, who
don't work. together nearly as
much as they did in their
salad days; Amos 'n Andy,
who are not the originals of
radio fame; and Peter Lind
Hayes and Mary Healy.
Elsewhere, there are the
Three Stooges, dormant for
years until their recent come
back; Jimmy Durant and Ed
die Jackson, who have worked
apart as much as together in
the last year; and Louis Prima
and Keely Smith.
But the main reason for the
emergence of .the new breed
is this: A comedian no mat
ter how great is bound to
run out of material faster
than a writer who pens aver
age things about average peo
ple. The constant pressure for
first - rate material helped
break up one of TV's finest
teams Sid Caesar and Imo
gene Coca. f - .
Split Furnished Lesson
The tremendous work and
strain that goes into getting
topflight new material and
then rehearsing it-also helped
write an end to the superb
three - way comedy of Jackie
Gleason, Art Carney and Aud
rey Meadows.
But the split also furnished
a lesson: The -part of their
show that survived and was
shown in half-hour segments
for months . afterward was
"The Honeymooners," their
comical tribute to the average
man and his problems.
"We .played the parts for so
long," said Carney, "that the
characters are almost real to
me. And I miss Jackie after
seven years of working to
gether. I feel we're almost a
team for real - like Laurel
and Hardy."
The team that led the way
for the family comedies was,
SB
mm
. V i ..
of course, Lucille Ball and
Desi Arnaz - although they
frankly stressed old-time rau
cous humor more than the
rather sedate series that fol
lowed. Lucy still is amused
that her hugely successful
show came about mainly be
cause she and Desi were not
entirely happy about 'their
family life.
"We'd been trying to get
together for . 10 years," she
said, "but I'd always be mak
ing a movie and Desi would
always be playing ' a night
club tour. Even when he was
in town he'd be getting home
just as I was leaving for the
studio.
"He always saw me at my
most unglamorous self. What
else ... at 6 a.m.? or worse,
weTd meet on the road and
then have to back up, park
our separate cars, get out and
chat a minute or two.
t "Then he'd go home to bed
and I'd go to work. At night,
I'd shake his hand at the door
as I came home and he went
out.
Solo Role Difficult
Once a team - particular
ly a family team - is estab
lished in the public mind, it
is difficult for one of its mem
bers to go it alone. George
Burns tried it last year when
his wife, Gracie Allen, retired.
His show went off the air
this spring, so now George is
on the night-club circuit.
"People ask me why I keep
working when I could retire
and play golf and cards," he
said. "You don't get any ap
plause playing golf and cards.
"I'm too old to retire. Peo
ple work harder at retiring
than they do at a job. It's
murderous trying to kill eight
hours a day."
Right now, entertainment
teams still are an important
factor in TV. But unless the
trend is reversed they'll fade
off the home screens as they
have from the movie screens
and from what's left of vaudeville.
Sierraville Fire
Believed Controlled
Sierraville, Calif.- (DPD -After
six . gruelling days, offi
cials today signified that Cal
ifornia's worst forest fire of
the season was under control.
Bulldozed fire lines were
holding in Tahoe National
forest.
"Unless the wind increases
and carries sparks over the
firebreaks, we have just
about got it licked, said Su
pervisor Henry Branagh.
Officials estimated that the
blaze has spread across 1,000
acres, destroying almost 40
million board feet of timber
valued at $400,000.
The 1,000 residents of Loy-
alton were still on the alert
Tuesday night against flying
embers, but the town ap
peared safe;
New blazes 50 miles away
near Portola and in El Dora
do National forest were con
trolled. An increase of 20 to 50 per
cent in India's industrial pro
duction is potentially possible
through the uniform applica
tion of advanced quality con
trol methods.
