Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- IN" A SMOKE-LADEN- room, some grim-faced gangsters, their sleeves rolled up, were intent upon a big-stakes poker game, when two kids suddenly appeared. "Uncle Desmond," piped one, Ya gotta show this cube of a friend of mine! He's bo square he won't be lieve you can deal your self any hand I call for!" Two dm Street store owners had just negotiated sizeable loans at the local bank; and were now eating lunch together. "I hope conditions improve soon," . worried one. 2f they don't, I guess m have to rob a bank." "If conditions don't im prove soA," snapped the ' other, "I HAVE robbed a bank." - - A conceited actor fell out of a fishing launch near a lighthouse with one of those revolving beacons.

' Bells of St. Mary's' Fails To Warm Heart Of Television Reviewer By FRED DANZIG New York (UPD Having watched "The Bells of St. Mary's" Tuesday night the cockles of my heait should be warm enough to cut into winter fuel bills. But it didn't work out that way. The 90-minute CBS-TV pro duction put together some engaging personalities to tell the story of St. Mary's paro chial school, its troubles with a neighboring millionaire and its faith in itself and prayer. The troubles were many: The millionaire played by Charles Ruggles, was a hypochondriac who wanted the school razed for a parking lot; Sister Bene dict, played by Claudette Col bert, developed tuberculosis; Patsy had family troubles; Eddie couldn't fight; the school was falling apart and, in the idiom of. the day, one student took a dive on a quiz. SEEKS DIVORCE Los Angeles-flJPD-Billy Dan iels' third wife filed for di vorce Tuesday charging that the Negro singer choked and threatened her. Mrs. Pierrette Daniels, 27, also sought a re straining order to prevent Daniels, 44, from "molesting, annoying or abusing her." BOARD CHAIRMAN DIES New York-flJPD-Barney Ru ben, 74, president and board chairman of Bond Stores, Inc., died Tuesday, . Enough trouble here to last through a full 36-episode se ries, I'd say. Troubles Superficial The troubles, though many, were really supe-ficrial. Even the tuberculosis was a very mild case. Prognosis: excel lent. And the millionaire real ly had a heart of gold. Since his new office building was noticeably lacking in traffic, it was no surprise when he donated it to the parish for a new school. The most genuine perform ance of the night was turned in by Marc Connolly, as Dr. McKay. He had an honest, na tural approach while the mas terful brow wrinkler, Robert Preston and Miss Colbert was fine in a scene to outdo each other. However, Miss Colbert was fine in a scene that had her boxing and, later, when she learned of her ' illness. Otherwise, she was, well Claudette Colbert, complete with superfluous hand-waving. Preston's role called for complete, believable warm hand ingenuity. He came over with excessive stiffness. Rendered Obsolete The labored mechanics of this story have ben rendered obsolete by time and I thought the fundamental message-dealing with faith re warded could have been twice as effective if half of the underdeveloped sub-plots were discarded.

" This group sets forth its con clusions and then writes the background to sustain them. ' They foresee adequate in vestment in business, strides in research, a rise in consum er demand to the point of revolution, new marketing techniques to sell the goods, expansion of the role of gov ernment in the economy, big business from overseas invest ments, retention, of. strong competition,- and avoidance of inflation on a large scale. ; Their chapter on research produces the most interesting angles of their discussion. Moveable Homes ' ' "The new home of the 1960s may well be manufactured of collapsible panels so that a homeowner can . change its shape to suit his whims, move it to another part of the coun try, maybe even trade it in at a "used house' lot. "Lighting could come from electroluminescent panels oc cupying most of the ceiling and side walls of a room. Among many interesting fea tures, homes may . have all plastic plumbing, ultra-sonic dishwashers and spray-on car peting. "And there could be a small black box in the front hall the symobl of tomorrow's elec tronic wonders which auto matically changes the swim ming pool water, turns on the heat conductors "under , the driveway whenever it snows, and maybe even figures out the bill for such luxurious living. . Gas-Turbine Powered Cars '. "The car of the future (con sumers willing) may. take its cue from the' experimental Firebird III displayed in 1958 by General Motors, electronic gadgeted plastic - bubble model. It would boast finned flats to aid in braking, a corrosion-proof exterior, and parts made of "greasy met als" that lubricate themselves., "And tomorrow's drive may well be an electronic gaget that straddles, electromagnet ically, a cable, buried in the middle of the traffic lane. "And then there's the shop ping center of tomorrow. Grass may grow on main street after all; but it will hardly be the symbol of the great depression. '.
