PAGE 10 A HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20. 1958 CBS President Predicts Better Television Season By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK (AP) Louis G Cowan, president of the CBS Tele vision jveiworK, sees a. coming season oi good television for tru home viewer, a season marked by improved quality in production. Although speaking chiefly of the Industry in general: "There are three networks for sure this year. That's good for the networks, and so it is good for the public. It also should be re membered that the networks art making commitments for the 1958 1959 season just as the nation is beginning to move out of a reces sion." The entertainment program ming trend on CBS-TV, he says, fs to long dramatic shows and programs combining comedy, va riety and music. As a creative force in television and radio, the man who developed "The $64,000 Question" and nu merous other popular programs, Cowan is worth listening to. Using 40 half-hour units as the basis of prime evening viewing time, it turns out that onlv five will ne taken up by quiz and pane game shows on CBS-TV. There will be eight half-hour units of Westerns and adventure pro- grams. Compare those eight to the proportion of Westerns and adven ture stories turned out annually pyinemovies ana book and maga Truckers Open Talks SAN DIEGO (UPI) Trucking Industry representatives and Teamster Union spokesman open lams today in a nine-day strike lockout which has all but paralyzed common carrier freight ijauiuge in me west. Federal mediator George Hil lenbrand, San Francisco, along with a mediation team of Ralph Patterson, San Francisco and Stephen D. Halligan, Denver, were prepared to supervise the meeting. The California Trucking Asso ciation which called for a shut down of 1.C00 firms Aug. II after 2,000 Teamsters struck in Central California and Western Nevada were represented by a 10-mun ne gotiating team. Elinar O. Mohn, chairman of the Western Conference of Team sters, represented the estimated 100,000 Teamsters idled in 11 western states The strike-lockout was reported to have halted three quarters of the freight shipments west of Chi cago. When members of Council No. 38 of Sacramento, representing Teamster members from Bakers field, Calif., to the Oregon border ana inio Nevada, struck in pro test over a master contract be tween the CTA and Western Con ference of Teamsters officials, the trucking association accepted it as a strike against the entire group and called for a lockout. Council No. 38 claimed it never ratified the master contract, draf ted last May 27. The association contended the master contract, a three-year pact providing for a 10-cent hourly pay raise each year, was in effect. zine publishers," said Cowan, "and I think you'll find that our letwork is producing a smaller proportion." CBS-TV will be the only net work offering an hour or more ot drama five nights a week, Cow an pointed out. "We've built up a tremendous assemblage of writers, producers technicians and other creative minds, Cowan said. "We've in vested millions of dollars over a long period of time in experimen tation and the development of new products. 1 like to think of all this creative effort as the hidden part of the iceberg. Not all of it can be apparent at the moment, but eventually it will be. It is there." Cowan is as concerned with the field of news and public affairs as with entertainment. Discussing this phase of the net work's operation, he said: We have a well-aua lifted corns of seasoned newsmen. We have the staff in depth. Our important function is to utilize these people in meaningful study of the world about us rather than in endless talk. That is what we have been doing. It is what we shall continue to do."

CLEAN.. .CLEAN.., CLEAN... LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP) - iSchool Supt. Virgil Blossom, the man in the middle in Little Rock's simmering integration crisis, has a reputation as a tighter. The 51-year-old native Missour- ian had the reputation long before' be became a central figure in the current battle over school integra tion nere. A newspaper columnist at Fay etteville, Ark., where Blossom was school superintendent before he moved to Little Rock, com mented: "When you've struggled NEON LIGHTS CAIRO (API They've installed neon lights inside Cheops, largest of the pyramids. Heretofore visi tors had to grope by candlelight behind their guides. with Missouri mud and climate, it puts fight and win in your blood." Blossom, a hulking six-footer, puts it this way: "I've got a job to do." Blossom spent his youth in Brookfield, a small central Mis souri town where his father ran a construction business aod served as the city tax collector. He entered Missouri Valley Col lege at Marshall, Mo., on an ath letic scholarship. His goals were to teach and be an athletic coach. He achieved both. His first job out of college was at Fayetteville High School, where he became athletic director and a social science teacher in 1930. Later he became principal and then superintendent. He moved to Little Rock in 1953. Blossom's colleagues tell the story of a wayward youth who was sent to him after several warn ings from teachers failed. "Mr. Blossom just talked to me," the boy later told his class mates. "But as he talked I started getting smaller and he started getting bigger. By the time he got through, he was the biggest man I ever saw." Blossom is active in civic or ganizations. He taught a Metho dist men's Bible class until short ly after last fall's integration crisis forced him to give up some of his activities because of lack of time. He and his wife have two daugh ters, Bette Sue, 20. and Gail, IT. Gail attended Central High during the tension-packed 1957-58 school year and graduated in June.
