Producer Seeks Recognition
For Television Scriptmen
l By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK U" Television pro
jiiir wnrihinfFtnn c. Miner has
petitioned the Puliticr Prize Com
mittee to eslaousn special jecoijiii
rtlon lor television writing, putting
It on n euual footing with Journal
ism Knd the drama.
Praising the encouragement tele
vision has given many line creative
writers. Miner told the committee
that now "the pressure Is already
on ... to buy them at a high
salary . to become adapturs ol
,ratiu Aiifmit. not the creators
thev have been." The chance ol
recognition with a Pulitzer Prize
would reduce that "pressure," he
colH in ffprt
To lift out of context- one phrase
of Miner s caiciuny marsnaiea r
tmmmt mav be unfair. But the
phrase hit you. What Is this
pressure" on television writers,
this talk ol seductively nign oaiau
4u ta arinntnrx?
Has Miner fallen for the old con
line that America attempts to se
- duce Its beat creative writing tal
ent with promises of bags of gold?
Rail, Truck
Fight Starts
WASHINGTON W The railroads
and the trucking Industry square
olf today In the battle over a new
national transportation policy.
. A House Commerce subcommit
tee called as its first Industry wit
ness J. Carter Fort, vice president
and general counsel of the Associ
ation of American Railroads. Ho
was expected to endorse with en
thusiasm the administration's plan
for rewriting transportation law by
relaxing government regulation of
railroads and otner common car
Tiers.
The second witness, James
Pinckney, general counsel of the
American Trucking Assns., was ex
pected to denounce the proposals.
The ATA contends they would give
the railroads "a hunting license
and ammunition to destroy com
petitors." The proposals wouldglve com
mon carriers greater leeway to re-
- vise rates and would curb tne au
thority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to postpone proposed
rate changes when complnlnts are
Wed by competitive carriers or by
shippers of goods.
Motor truck operators contend
the plan would permit the rail
roads to cut rates until their less
well-heeled competition was elimi
nated, then boost their freight
charges. Highway carriers also
contend the program would free
.the railroads to enter the trucking
field.
James G. Lync, chairman of
the Federation for Railway Prog
ress, said the proposed changes
would 'Improve transportation
service with maximum economy of
costs for the benefit of shippers
and passengers,"

America may have destroyed
some creative talent by Ignoring
it. But It bes yet to be proved to
my satisfaction that America ever
lias destroyed much talent by over
paying it, by offering it plush Jobs.
Once In a while somebody says,
"Poor Sm.th (or Jones) showed
real nromlse before he began writ
ing for television (or Hollywood)."
The tone Is aggrieved, as if it's
a plot by society to rob a writer
of his heritage. Actually it's a de
cision made Individually by Smith
or Jones. He has decided whether
lie wants money or critical ac
claim. He has not been seduced;
he's made a decision.
A great writer is always larger
than the economic atmosphere ol
his times, even when he yields
to some of its pressures. Both Lord
Byron and Charles Lamb wrote
advertising copy at one time or
another. That Mark Twain was
lond of money, dabbled in (and
was financially ruined by) busi
ness, and exhausted nimseii on tne
lecture plallorm, did not prevent
him from writing a great Ameri
can novel, "Huckleberry Finn."
A hack will always be a hack.
But If a writer has something to
cay and Is determined to say it
he cannci be ruined by worklne
in the uold mines ol advertising
or lecturing or Hollywood or tele- j
vision today any more man ne
ever was.
Yes. It would be fine if the Pulit
zer Prize Commit'ee recognized
television writing. But the chance
ut a Puhtr-er Prize never will pre
vent plenty of talented wrltcrii
from trying for television gold.

Accuses Bayes
SAN PRANCllSCO (UP) CDl.
Thomas Bayes Jr. gave "welcom-
in?" talks at a Communist prls.
oner ol war camp in Korea in
which he denounced "Wall Street
warmongers," according to wit
nesses at his court martial here.
Tie 32-year-old Flat Lick, Ky.,
soldier is charged with 14 counts
of collaboration with the enemy
while a prisoner of war.
Two former POW's, Henry M.
Lyman of Eureka, Calif., and
Frederick Llddell,-, 26, Eugene
Ore., ' testified yesterday, that
Bayes was a "greeter"- at camp
and had called ihe United States
Ihe aggressor in the Korean War.
"Bayes called the United States
the aggressor in the Korean War
and said we were being used as
cannon fodder by wall Street war
mongers," Lyman testified.
Both men also said that Bayes
did not appear to have lost weight
in the prison camp. Llddell r.
marked thai Bayes appeared thin
ner now than when he was in the
camp, . '
The Army contends that Bayes
lived better and did not lose
weight oecause he made propa
ganda statements and broadcasts
for the Chinese Communists,
Junta Might
Replace Peron
WASHINGTON 'UP i Diplomats
here expect a military Junta to
rule Argentina for several months
while ways are sought to bring
back constitutional Democracy to
replace the Peron dictatorship.
They do not rule out entirely
he possibility that Peron might
still wiggle out of the situation In
which he was forced to oiler his
resignation by a combined revolt
uf the navy and a large part of
the army.
Diplomats, however, said lha
this time it looks as if his hold
on power had probably run out
If so, it came as an accumulation
of disappointments among the
populace over the economic situa
lion and resentment at nls treat
ment of the Roman Catholic
Church, experts said.
The revolt apparently was led
by conservative elements In the
army and navy, which want the
economy restored, civil liberties
re-instated and the Catholic church
left free to operate as usual.
However, as in many revolutions
the military leaders may disagree
among themselves on the means
of taking such steps. Diplomats
speculated that this might lead to
the emergence of another "strong
man" and a new era of one-man
government.

Marines Resume
Flag Raising
ST. LOUIS lPh- The Stars and
Stripes are flying again atop the
old courthouse for the first time
In about a year, thanks to the
U.S. Marines.
The climbing of stairs 162 feet
to the flag pole on the dome was
regarded as too much lor tne
elderly custodians of the building
Lt. Col. John J. Jarvis, com.
mander of the Marine recruiting
service in the Federal Building
came to the rescue with a five
day-a-week flag raisins detail
which started yesterday.
Jarvis said the Marines couldn't
sit- by while no flag flew over the
building, and added that he doesn't
want his men to get soft. "Those
stairs, 1C2 feet up, why that's the
best obstacle course downtown,

Miner bas not lost hope. "We,

"Any provocative show is hard
