Singer Says A Good Show
Will Bring The Audience
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK AP-"lf you have
really good television ahow,
you'll get an audience," says
Andy Williams.
'It doesn't matter what night
your show is, or what time or
what network or whether you form
your own network.
Welt, Williams has a good show
as the summer replacement for
Fat Boone and the mail indi
cates bo's attracting a large au
dience of all ages.
The Williams Show has a rela
lively low budget. It doesn't op
erate on the theory that it needs
big name guest stars to hold its
audience. In Williams' words, "We
mainly just try to do good songs,
Actress Asks
Spouse Jailed
LOS ANGELES (AP)-Former
actress Tita Purdcm wants her
ex-husband, actor Edmund Pur
dom, jailed. She says he's $24,000
behind in alimony payments and
she la destitute.
In an affidavit filed yesterday
supporting her charge, she said
Purdom has lavished money on
other women since their divorce
in 1956, but paid only sporadically
the Sl,050 a month ordered for
alimony and child support pay
men Is.
Among the other women, Mrs.
Purdom named actress Linda
Christian, and said Purdom se
cretly married her in 1356. No
such marriage has ever been pub
licly announced.
Mrs. Purdom said she knows of
no divorce between Purdom and
Miss Christian. Her affidavit said
he has since married Alicia Darr
who, Mrs. Purdom said, is "re
puted to be a wealthy heiress."
She said she understands Purdom
and Miss Darr now are separated
Mrs. Purdom said she is so poor
(he and her three children have
been evicted eight times in a year
for nonpayment of rent.

standard songs that people en
joy."
Williams has the low-keyed
manner of Perry Lomo and he
doesn t dish the hokum some per'
formers seem to think is the sub
stance of an interview.
Example: You grow mighty
weary of hearing performers com-
plain about the weekly grind of a
TV show. But Williams refreshing
ly remarks.
"I'm lazy, and you don't have
to work too hard in television. You
have to think hard. That is, you
must concentrate on absolute sin
eerily when you're singing a song
Because that close-up camera nev
er lies. The television audience is
smart. It knows immediately
whether you believe in what
you're doing or whether you're
taking it and when you fake
you re dead.
The solution for an honest per
former, Wilbams believes, is the
Perry Como solution: sing only
songs in which you believe.
About five years ago a quartet
Williams was singing in broke up
and he went it alone. He hit with
recordings and then became a fea
tured singer for Vi years with
Steve Allen.
'In a television show," says Wil
liams, "you seldom know how well
it's going. You're working to an
inanimate thing. Cameras and di
rectors do half the work for you.
Sometimes the less you do the bet
ter. Sometimes it seems to me
I'm ' just standing there doing
nothing. Then I see the kinescope
afterwards and realize a lot has
been hapening. Other people have
been working for me.

Building Aid
Bond Issued
SACRAMENTO (API The last
of the 1956 school building aid
bond issue of 100 million dollars
has been authorized for sale by
the State Allocation Board.
The board took the action
Wednesday just prior to approv
ing a record 28 million dollars in
school building aid applications.
For all practical purposes this
clears up all pending applica
tions," said H. H. Jaqueth, execu
tive officer.
Jaqueth explained, however.
that approval of applications does
not necessarily mean there will
be funds for the projects.
With the sale of the bonds we
should have enough money to
take care of everything that has
been approved through today," he
said.
"But after that there won't be
any money for construction items
although we may be able to fund
items such as plans."
The board may approve as
many applications as it sees fit
but it is limited by statute to
apportioning only .8 million dol
lars a month.
'The extra 30 million loaned to
us by the 1958 Legislature has
helped considerably in clearing up
big backlog of projects, Ja
queth said.
Another school building aid
bond issue will be on the Novem
ber ballot. This issue will be for
220 million, including funds to
repay the 30 million loan from
the investment fund.

Man Confesses
Killing That
Never Happened
HAMBURG. Germany (UPI)
The strange story of a German
businessman who has been fleeing
"justice" for 25 years was un
folded today after his return here
to confess a "killing" that never
occurred.
Prosperous Karl Mende told po
lice he had killed a man at the
beginning of the Nazis' successtul
light for power in Germany.
I want to atone for my
crime, said .venae on nis reiurn
from long years of hiding in the
French Foreign Legion, Australia
and South America.
Mende told this story:
On the night of Jan. 31. 1933.
while returning home from night
school, Mende became involved in
a street fieht between Nazis and
Communists. He threw a wooden
nost riDDed from a fence at
Nazi Storm Trooper in self-de
fense.
The next morning a newspaper
said the Nazi had been
"murdered." Frightened, Mende
fled the country, joining the For
eign Legion. Then Arab friends
"smuggled" him onto a freighter
bound for Australia. When World
War II broke out, he was in
Peru.
He sent letters with money to
the Nazi's family. Then he feared
the letters were intercepted and
he fled to Brazil, making a four-
tune in real estate.
Recently, he said, his worries
caused a nervous breakdown, and
after recovering he decided to
return to Germany.
Investigation by police showed
the newspaper which had reported
the death of the Nazi printed a
correction the day after Mende
fled, saying the man had been
injured. The Nazi, it turned out,
died on the Russian front in 1942
