PACK TEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. JULY 20, 1953 Nothing Quiet In Sh ow Business As Summer Goes On By DICK KLEINER NEA Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA i Polly Ber gen is looking for another drama tic part, and has been for some months. She's afraid people will think of her Emmy victory (for "The Hel en Morgan Story ) as a fluke and (hat she doesn't want. So she wants to do another one. But it isn't easy to find a good part, especially in her position. Anybody got any ideas? "If Bob Hope had to do a show every week," says Johnny Carson, "he'd be washed up inside of 13 weeks." This is part of Johnny's phil osophy that "weekly comedy kills you." He should know; his old .MI-0 show, which was well liked by the fans and the critics, failed after one run. Now he's the MC of the every afternoon ABC-TV qui. "Do You Trust Your Wife?," and he's a happy man. "People feel sorry for you when you have an afternoon show." says Carson. "They think you're buried. But you've got 10 million people watching and they're mure loyal than a nighttime audience." Johnny. mc of show business' niost likable persons, takes h i s comedy seriously. He figures that he has to face up to the reality that TV, at the moment, just isn:t riie for good comedy. "I'm not being unhappy about It. just facing cold facts," he says. "This is no time for comedy or. rather, for comedians. Look. George (iobel is just as funny as he ever was. but people get tired of 'I'll be a dirty bird.' " Caison protects himself by do ing oilier things he pinch-hit for Tom Ewell in the Broadway play, "Tunnel Of Love," for two months, he works clubs, he took over for one week while Juck Paar vaca tioned Since he isn't a stylized comedian Hike Gobel or Wally Cox' he can even lake straight acting jobs. Of course, even though he's hap py with his daytime spot, he'd like a big nighttime show. n 1 Ih 1 ' - v -V.'S.W? BOY SCIENTIST Jonathan Oroviii, the I2yoar-old boy who sent the U.S. government a plan to outsputnilc the Ruisiant and then rocket a man into space for two weeks, works on some rocket plans at his home in Kew Gardens, N.Y. Roy Johnson, director of the Defense Department's Research Projects Agency, said the ideas advanced by yung Jonathan had "all the elements of a workable System." "But it 4)as to be right for me," he says. What would be right for him? t don t know. That, you see, is what makes TV a tough spot for comics. Phil Silvers' big disappointment is that he'd like to do a euest spot with Dinah Shore, but it's not allowed because of the differ, ence in networks. Why particularly with Dinah? We re old buddies, savs Phil "When she was a bachelor girl in the old days, she ran what I used to call .'Shore's Home For Home less Girls.' he'd take in any girl wnn no place to go. Kitty Ka)len was one. "And I was the man thev in vited for dinner. So I'd usually get stuck with taking them all out aft erwards. We used to have quite a Dan. The gridiron lost quite a player when Robert Loggia quit football for acting. That's the word from Jim Lee Howell, the great pro coach, who used to coach Wagner College teams when Loggia played there. "He was a real good player," Howell says. Later. Loggia transferred to the University of Missouri and studied journalism some before he devoted himself to acting. He's doing right well, lately. He had the secondary lead to John Kerr and Barbara Bel Geddes in Playhouse 90's "Rumors of Eve ning." and more to come. Somebody had the bright idea to team Hermionc Gingold and Dizzy Dean in a film series of "Min and Bill." They asked Her mionc and she said fine. Thev asked Dizzy and he said, "Why, shore, podner." I hen the producer figured it would be a smart idea for Her mione and. Dizzy to meet. So he arranged a rendezvous, and the two showed up. And. says the producer, they balked for 15 minutes without ever once understanding what the other one said. The project has been dropped.

Douglas Fir Study Under Way At Siate College In Search For Better Trees OREGON STATE COLLEGE A program of basic research on vari ations in Douglas fir grown in dif ferent sections of the Northwest has been launched at Oregon State College with the long-range objec tive being development of better fir trees for the future. Douglas fir was simply Douglas fir 50 years ago but that is no longer true. Dr. Helge Irgcns Molle, forest geneticist and re search leader, points out. Today, it is recognized that . there are great variations within the species and that seed from one region may not be suited for use in an other depending on climate, and other environmental factors. - Looking ahead, forest geneticists see tremendous potential for im provement of trees, he continued. Kate of survival, growth rate, and wood quality all can likely be made better by applying the prin ciples of plant breeding that have brought such spectacular advances ir farm crops, Irgens-Moller be lieves. Before such a program of "ap: plied reserch" can get underway, however, a vast amount of basic research must be done on Doug las fir and other species, he said The new OSC study on variation n Douglas fir is designed to pro vide some of that information. Irgens-Moller continued. The project is supported by a $12,400 three-year grant from the National Science i-oundation. It will involve collection of seeds from individual trees throughout the entire growth range of Doug las fir, including Oregon, Wash ington. British Columbia. Idaho. Montana. Wyoming, California, and Colorado. Special attention will be given to variations in growing conditions north and south slopes, high and low elevations, coastal :ind continental habitats, etc. Collection areas will be sought near weather stations so that cli matic data will be available. Sam ples of plants from each source will be planted in the college's Mc Donald forest, giving OSC the larg est single collection of Douglas fir types for later breeding work. Seeds from all collection areas will be planted also in the green house and plants will be exposed to various periods of light to note inferences between the types in their responses. Future studies may reveal certain correlations be tween Ihe response to light and tther characteristics affecting sur vival and growth. Irgens-Moller ex plained.

Consider able work lias been done with Southern pine and European coun tries with their intensive forestry methods have been concentrating on developing better trees for dec ades. The day when the ood trees are cut and the poor ones left to serve as re-seeders will soon be gone forever, Irgens-Moller points out. Emphasis today is on quality. Special "seed orchards" that arc used-as the source of high quality tree seed are finding increasing use, Irgens-Moller said, and will be an essential part of forestry of the future. Irgens Moller. originally from Denmark, started work on the project two years ago as part of his doctor's degree study program. That work was financed by two $4,000 grants from the Forest Gen etics Research Foundation. His re earch is in cooperation with U.S. forest service research staff mem bers located on the OSC campus.
