Ewald Takes
As Television
By WILLIAM EWALD
UPI Correspondent
New York- (OPD -Dear read
er: This is my last gasp as
a TV columnist.
I want to post goodbyes
to all those who have written
to me, most
of whom
seemed to be
saddled with
1 reader, angry
reader, en
raged reader,
d i s p 1 e ased
reader, indig-
Willimm EwaU nant reader
and ex-reader. Isn't there any
body named Smith in this
country anymore?
I want to say goodbye, too,
to the lady who requested my
picture for use as a dart
board, the girl who accused
me of jealousy because I
couldn't shake like Elvis, the
teen-ager who called me a
squeep, i. part square, part
creep, the gentleman who
threatened to report me to
Jack Paar, the numerous fans
who suggested I was ripe ma
terial for a padded piazza in
the laughing academy, the
lady in Florida who threaten
ed to punch me in the nose,
the lady in Minnesota who
threatened to punch me in the
nose, the lady in California
who threatened to punch me
In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
-, The house of representa
tives of the U.5. congress is
wading into a ' bare knuckle
fight over labor control legis
lation, with the issue of the
: fight very much in doubt .
The air in the house chamber
crackles with tension .
Most members are in their
seats, and the galleries are
packed with observers from
labor and industry groups.
For months, the pressure
has been building toward
what shapes up as the bitter
est floor struggle over labor
matters since the Taft-Hart-i
ley law was enacted 12 years
ago. The struggle is now com
ing to a head.
'
rpHIS is the big issue:
-V Is too much power held j
in too few hands?
If so, what shall be done
about it?
KEEP this in mind:
,'" The battle in the con
gress is largely a political
battle. ' Next year is a cam
paign year. In 1960, EVERY
MEMBER of the house of ren-
r
resentatives will be up for re
election. Roughly a third of
the membership of the senate
will be up for re-election.
That being the case, a lot
of votes in the congress will
be influenced by political con
siderations. The big question
is WHAT WILL GET THE
MOST VOTES?
VOU may ask:
- What ran T An atmit if
Here's one thing you can
do: You can take your pen in
hand and write your senators
and congressman, telling them
exactly how you feel. Put it
simply and plainly no ifs, no
ands, no buts. If you want a
strong bill, designed to pre
vent too much power from
. falling into too few hands, say
so. If you want a mild bill,
making few changes in exist
ing law, say so. If you want
: no new labor legislation at
all, say so.
Your letters will have more
to do with the outcome of the
ruckus now boiling up in
Washington than anything
eise. xour senators ana your
' representatives are politi
, cians. They have to be if they
are to hold their jobs. Besides,
their REAL job is to support
the kind of laws the majority
of their constituents want,
iney cant know what you
want unless you tell them.
Pf OREGON, your senators
are Wayne L. Morse and
Richard L. Neuberger. Their
Washington address is Senate
Office Building, Washington,
'D.C. If you live in Southern
Oregon, your representatives
are Charles O. Porter and Al
Ullman. Their Washington ad
dress is House Office Build
' ing, Washington, D.C.
If you live in California,
your senators are Thomas H.
Kuchel and Clair Engle. Their
Washington address is Senate
Office Building, Washington,
D.C. If you live in Far North
ern California, your congress
men are Clement Woodnutt
Miller (of the First California
district) and Harold TV Joh
son (of the Second California
district). Their Washington
address is House Office Build
ing, Washington, D.C.
IF YOU'RE interested,
WRITE A LETTER about
it. In that way, you can make
your interest in national legis
lation count.
Don't think your letters
won't be read.
They WILL be - if they are
sincere and genuine.

Last Gasp
Columnist
in the nose and the lady in
Connecticut who threatened
to punch me in the stomach.
I assumed she was a midget.
Called a Blob
Over the past 21 months, I
have been called a blob,
sorehead, a cube, a sourball,
a smoker of maijuana, pro
Elvis. anti-Elvis, beat, anti-
beat, a lowbrow, middlebrow,
highbrow and no brow,
young twerp an old fogey,
ulcer-ridden, flat-footed and
flat-headed. It has been sug
gested that I go soak my
head, jump in the lake, fall in
a snowdrift, consider sulphur
and molasses, change my
brand of dog biscuits, drop
dead and be deported to the
Soviet Union, although hap
pily, not all at the same time.
As a chronicler of the boob
tube. I have received hun
dreds of letters, but the bulk
of them fall into predictable
categories and can be answer
ed rather simply. To wit:
-To all those teen-agers who
asked me to try and under
stand them, I say nonsense
Why don't you try understand
ing adults for a change?
-To all those who say TV
provides the sort of fare that
they, ordinary people, like, I
say shame on you for reveling
in your ordinariness
-To all those who say there
is room for all kinds of tastes,
nonsense again. There is ob
viously a hierarchy of values
in life - without it, we be
come vegetables. If you prefer
to squander your free time on
Lawrence Welk, the Texan,
The Price Is Right and other
drivel, it may be time for
you to question your values.
Sentiments Shabby
-To all those who protest:
"Say something nice or don't
say anything at all, I say
your sentiments are shabby,
Television is an instrument
with a tremendous potential
for expanding the horizons of
all of us. Unfortunately, it
seems to exist primarily to sell
goods, rather than nourish and
giddy us with all of life.
It is falling down on the
job badly, succumbing to the
tyranny of majority tasteless
ness, land-sliding" us under
with garbage. TV should be
scolded constantly and severe
ly. So should you who sit and
accept.
Exit, pursued by a bear.
Yours truly: The blob, the
sorehead, the cube.
Shark Menaces
Skin Divers
San Diego - (UPD - Two skin
divers were menaced for 20
minutes by a nine-foot ham
merhead shark Thursday be
fore they were able to kill
it with a "one in a million"
shot by a spear gun.
The shark, apparently at
tracted by a speared halibut
hanging from one of the div
ers' belts, was killed when it
tried to bite a spear gun held
by Don Ide, 32. He said he
tried desperately to get rid
of the dead halibut but was
unable to pull it from his belt.
"He circled us about 20
minutes," said Ide, an expe
rienced skin diver. "First he
would attack me and then
Joe. We held him off with
our spear guns. Finally he
took the end of my spear in
his mouth.
"I pulled the trigger. It
was a shot in a million."
Neither Ide nor his com
panion, Joe Turner, 24, Were
bitten by the shark as it cir
cled them about a quarter
mile off La Jolla shoals. It
was in the same general area
where a killer shark killed
a diver last April and where
a lifeguard was bitten on, the
leg by a shark.
Ide said attempts to scare
the shark away were fruit
less. Both he and Turner were
using aqua lungs to dive
when they first spotted the
shark in the depths. They
surfaced, but it stayed with
them, he said.
Former Child Star
In Grips of Law
Los Angeles (UPD Scotty
Beckett, . 29, trouble-plagued
former child star of "Our
Gang" movies and other films,

also was arrested on the same
charge when officers found
what looked like hypodermic
needle marks in his arm.
Kilgo said Beckett was dri
ving his car erratically down
the street. The officer said he
stopped the car to see if the
driver had been drinking.
Both men were booked on
the felony charge. They both
insisted they were innocent.

Butler, Los Angeles
Mayor To Discuss
Ticket Squabble
Los Angeles-UPD-Democrat-
ic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler meets, with Mayor
Norris Poulson today and said
he would "talk to anyone to
settle this preposterous dis
pute", over tickets . to the
party's 1960 national conven
tion. But Butler left no doubt
that he was ready to throw
open bids to other cities for
the convention if his alloca
tion of no more than 1,500
tickets to the Los Angeles
host committee was not ac
cepted.
"There is no question of a
compromise, he said. "We
can't bring tickets out of a
hat."
Bitter Statement
He flew here last Thursday
night from Washington when
the intra-party squabble
which has been brewing for
months flared publicly with
bitter statements by local
civic leaders. They claim the
host committee was promised
5,000 tickets to the conven
tion by the national commit
tee last Feb.. 27.
In an odd coincidence, oil
man Edwin Pauley-treasurer'
of the host committee and
major spokesman for the
5,000-ticket demand arrived
at International Airport with
in two minutes after Butler.
While a crowd of reporters
and local party leaders crowd
ed around Butler, whose plane
was four hours late, Pauley
left the plane bringing him
from Mexico and departed ap
parently unnoticed.
Willing To Negotiate
He had returned here for
a meeting with Butler, claim

No Change Seen
In Steel Talks
New York (UPD Peace
talks in the national steel
strike limped along today with
no . signs of union or manage
ment changing their positions.
The prospects of an accord
seemed almost as remote as
when the walkout started a
month ago.
Chief government mediator
Joseph F, Finnegan,' who had
been in Washington on budg
etary matters, was back at
the bargaining table when the
joint session resumed - today.
R. Conrad Cooper, execu
tive vice president of the U.S.
Steel Corp., headed industry's
four-man team. Cooper was
absent Thursday.
David J. McDonald, presi
dent of the United Steelwork
ers Union, still was absent.
His place as head of the union
team was filled by Howard
Hague, vice president of the
union.
LOVES CONQUER MALEY
Whitley, England (UPD
Sailor Jack Maley, whose
first love is the sea, said
Thursday his second love
might have caused him trou
ble, but his third love made
him forget it. Maley-in court
when two men were tried for
beating him up-said his sec
ond love is flowers. His third
love, he said, is beer. "I can
not remember the fight at
all," he said. "I had been to
a flower show and had about
18 pints."

ate despite his claims of hav

the national committee guar

Pauley already has express
ed his approval of a compro
mise by Poulson whereby the
host committee would accept
3,133 tickets.
But Butler remained ada
mant. "The national committee
never made commitments in
excess of 1,500 tickets," he
said. "The national committee
is not desirous of being arbi
trary, unreasonable, but we
know what we can do.
Camera-Carrying
Missile Launched
Cape Canaveral, Fla.-flJPD-The
Air Force launched an
other camera-carrying Thor
ballistic missile today to ob
tain more filmed evidence of
how the weapon's nose cone
behaves during flight.
4 The 16 mm., movie camera
peeked through a data capsule
rigged to fall free of the nose
cone near the end of a 1,500
mile hop.
Ships and planes waited at
the target area, near Antigue
Island in the West Indies, to
pluck the capsule and its valu
able cargo from the ocean. In
a wartime firing, a hydrogen
warhead would occupy the
space used by the camera and
the capsule.
The camera was the third
sent up in a Thor nose cone.
In previous camera flights on
May 12 and July. 24, film
showing separation of the
cone from the body of the
Thor was recovered.
There are four main human
blood groups as major divis
ions but scientists estimate
that blood group factors are
capable of producing about
132,710,400 combinations.

Three Murders
For No Reason
Islip, N. Y. - (UPD - Francis
Henry Bloeth, 27, diagnosed
in his teens as an incurable
psychopath who strangled
cats for fun, confessed Thurs
day night that he had killed
two men and a woman for
no more reason.
"If I had had more bullets,
I would have shot more peo
ple, Suffolk County District
Attorney John P. Cohalan Jr.
quoted Bloeth as saying.
Just Like Flies
"These people were just
like flies on Bloeth's hand,"
Cohalan said. "He just rapped
them and killed them, just
like that."
Bloeth's victims, all killed
within an eight-day period,
were all night workers on
duty alone in eating places
in three different eastern
Long Island towns.
He was arrested Monday
for a non-fatal "Russian rou
lette" holdup and as a "prime
suspect" in the killings but
he insisted he was innocent
until Thursday night, when
his wife and his attorney
pleaded with him for more
than an hour to tell the truth
they suspected.
Wife Pleaded
"I felt all along he had
done it," Mrs. Jane Bloeth,
25, told newsmen as she and
the attorney, Sidney R. Siben,
made the first announcement
of the confession. -
"I pleaded with him to
spare more innocent people
from being killed," Mrs.
Bloeth said.
Both Siben and Cohalan
said Bloeth appeared without
remorse.
Cohalan said he had asked
Bloeth whether he had any
feeling for his family and if
he didn't feel sorry to have
brought them this trouble. He
said Boeth replied:
"I wouldn't shoot my wife,
my mother or my daughter."
Cohalan said: "I just
couldn't believe what this
man told me as he talked. It
was an absolute nightmare."
More than one million per
sons in the U.S. are said to
be sufferin" from rheumatic
heart disease.
