JULY n 1m Constant Viewer In Midst Of Reliving The TV Past By CYNTHIA LOWBV NEW YORK lAPl Conslanl Viewer, if his television habits are rigid, is now in the midst of 13-week period of reliving his past. For every hour of new material he glimpses on his home screen he'll see 90 minutes ol repeated Iibn and television shows. And new material this summer primarily means people playing parlor games or answering quiz questions before a camera. Oft-told tales add up to the mag nificent total of about 45 hours a week out of the total of 75 hours of prime network time on the com bined three bis networks. The odds are 3-2 that if ynu tune in your favorite channel at a favnr ile time you'll see something you have seen before. This situation makes lor some unhappiness in spile of network clforts to promote the summer re runs as the cream nf last sea son's crop returned jnly because of the viewers' demands. But the TV repeat is considered one of broadcasting's fads of life. "It is an industry problem ratber than a network problem," says ABC's program head Tom Moore.

Nalci lize the cost of a program over a sj-week period so there must be repeats when tune-in is low. Thus it is the usual practice to make 2fi or 3!t films in a series and then cut costs hy showing l.'i or even 2li of the shows a second lime to reduce the average cost per program. July and August are considered ideal times for shoving in repeats because, as Moore ex plains, "there is a variance of one Ihird in the TV audience." 'Trans lation: one third of the audience is missing in the vacation months Industry executives have all sorts of surveys, reports and anal es to explain why everybody in the audience loves a repeat or re mn. and they pooh-ooh any sug geslinn there could be a better way to handle the problem. .Shows which have run through Ihe summer." says one executive "have shown no appreciable ad vantage in the fall. It has been shown repeatedly that a show which has had reruns does not suf fer the following year." I'rivatcly, however. TV officials fret considerably about audience discontent over the rerun situa tion. They spend the winter months building up listener loyal ties to shows. Then in the hot weather months their audience is practically forced onto other chan nels. Why not replace the show with repeats from another night and another hour, and perhaps hit a new audience' "Sponsors," says a network ex ecutive. "The sponsors don't want to. They want complete identifi cation with a show, so they would ralher keep a show on repeat than bring in something temporary Marilyn Monroe Back In Filmland HOLLYWOOD (AP) Marilyn Monroe is hrtck in town. That's her in the sheath. She showed the Hollywood press corps what the style does for her and vice versa at a reception yesterday. Marilyn returned lo Hollywood from New York earlier yesterday to perform in a film about the IMS. It's called "Some Like it Hot." She said she was so sure direc-lor-wriler Billy Wilder would do well by her that she agreed to star without reading the script. She has another reason lor trust ing Wilder, though.

Soviets Level Old Charges LONDON (AP) A Moscow ra mo commentator today charged that Ilighls ol American Il-bomb ers toward the Soviet borders are keeping the world "practically on the brink nf war. The broadcast renewed a charge which the Soviets pressed unsuc cessfully in the U. N. Security Council three months ago. The purpose apparently was to make some propaganda capital out of the flight of an unarmed U. S Air Force cargo plane which strayed over Soviet Armenia June 27 and was shot down by Soviet jet lighters.

THey ocmMAKE we horse Ernie Ford's Discs Said Beacon Amid Rock V Roll By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP Amid the rock 'n' roll and show tunes on the best selling list, one record album stands out like a beacon. It is Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Nearer the Cross." No stomping beat. No sophisti cated lyrics. Just solid, old-fash ioned hymns sung with simple reverence. There's another Ford album among the best sellers. It's called "Hymns," and it has been on the list for 78 weeks, a phenomenal record. Ernie isn't smug about these achievements, but he's certainly happy. They are the result of a steady campaign of his to bring hymns to the mass audience. "As long as I've been in show business and that's not very long I've been trying to promote hymns," he remarked. "It seemed to me that here was a great form of expression that was being over looked. "I don't mean it merely for reli gious purposes. I just felt that it was a crime to overlook these wonderful melodies and the fine messages they convey. "You just don't know what a hattle I had putting them over. When I tried to sing hymns on my TV show, they told me, 'You just can't do it. -You can't take your audience when they re way up there and bring them way down. "Why, that was ridiculous to me. How can you bring an audi ence down with a hymn? The very nature nf hymns is to uplift." When he finally won his point, the TV minds came up with a big production number to accompany his hymn. Singers and dancers all over the place. ENDS TONIGHT! ' li VI C1 1 1 rTTfMClri I OtlVM de HwmnP - MHII FOBSYTHI - MYaW IQT 1 j tf4I Ih El-fSSttdy rm. I OPEN DAILY7ICD p. M FeorureAr 8:00 & 10:3S' I .

That's the way it was presented. and he continues to do his hymns in a simple manner. The response has been enormous, he said. View ers are effusive in their praise: many send him stacks of hymn books, even torn-out copies of their favorite hymns. He's of the opinion that folks should do more hymn singing at home. And he feels the urge is there. He reported about a visit to meet his big auto bosses: "It was a very fancy party, and what did they want to do? Sit around the piano and sing old hymns." Heads Up Now Not Lookout DEROIT (AP) It's no long er just a question of "look before you cross the street" for pedes trians here. Now it's "heads up."

Onlv three years ago, the 36- year-old blonde singing star be an a comeback on the TV show "This Is Your Life." Today." she told United Press International, "the only articles of any value I have left, ironically, are a charm bracelet and a big gold horseshoe I got on "This Is Your Life.' " Mae's appearance before Fed eral Bankruptcy Referee Howard Calverley and her creditors marks the rock-bottom point of a career thwarted at every critical juncture by a stroke of bad luck. "ft really began to hit me in June of 1050, when I caught pol io," she said. "1 was on my way from New iork to Miami with Janis Paige, who I was coaching for her opening at a club. "Somewhere on the trip I got it. It paralyzed my whole left side. The doctors said I would never walk again." However, she fought, and by December of the same year she thought she was ready for a come back. "I opened at the Copacabana in New York with Danny Thomas on Dec. 4. The next day I collapsed. The doctors said it was a re lapse, and I couldn't get out of bed for 2 1-2 months. By June. 1951, however, she was pronounced cured, and she be gan to fight her way back again For more than two years. she said, "it was a two-week en gagement here and another one there. There was no fun. After the show, it was right home and to bed, like a prison. I felt like a baseball player with a sore arm play for a while, then put on the jacket and keep warm. In 1954, she got a break. She got her own show on a Los An geles television station. It was called "Breakthrough," and she sang and told stories of persons who conquered seemingly uncon querable problems. Then. 30 days before she was expected to go network, it hap pened. She fell down a flight of stairs, fractured two vertebrae and broke three ribs. "They told me again I would never he able to walk, and this time they were' right for four months, she said.

Finally, in 1958, she landed a job at $50 a week on Los Angeles television. It was her own show. but she worked at the minimum scale. Even this venture was ill-fated. A company with whom she had made some TV films said she was still under contract. The station dropped me be cause of litigation," she said. Then every place I worked nightclubs, record companies my salary was attached. The casg hasn't come to court. For tha first time, I'm giving up. I'm broke."
