and staff officers of the 1,200,000
member union.
There was speculation that the
important business concerned the
Dues Protest Committee, headed
by Donald C. Rarick. a McKees
port, Pa., mill worker.
McDonald has accused the com
mittee of dual unionism, which he
defined as organized opposition to
policies adopted by the interna
tional convention. The committee
was formed in protest of a $2 in
crease in dues at the 1956 conven
tion. Rarick, a delegate to the con
vention, said he waited outside
McDonald's headquarters office
for nearly Vi hours Tuesday to
ask the president for time to
speak on the convention floor.
McDonald has told the conven
tion several times, that any dele
gate will be given the floor for five
minutes as provided in the con
vention rules.
In his keynote speech Monday,
McDonald referred to the protest
committee and told the delegates
to "rid this cancer out of your
bowels through your own doing."
At the second session, the dele
gates approved a resolution to
press for a wage hike and a short
er work week next year.

A band of radiation surrounding

Navy Blimp
Soars Free
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP)
runaway Navy blimp soared free
and unmanned for six hours in one
of the nation's busiest airline
routes yesterday and then settled
back to earth by itself.
The big craft came down about
25 miles east of nearby Glymco
Naval Air Station, start of the
strange joy ride, just as authori
ties considered shooting it down
as a menace to planes on the New
York-Miami route.
Other blimps, helicopters and
planes kept the runaway under ob
scrvation during its flight to a
height of about 7,500 feet a mile
west of Sapelo Island off the
Georgia coast.
The blimp's escapade began
when the pilot lost rudder control
during takeoff and brought the
craft in for an emergency land
ing, the Navy said. The blimp hit
the ground so hard that gasoline
tanks ruptured and the fuel
drained out.
That lightened the 287-foot craft
so much that the harried 10-man
crew had to release helium to get
the bucking blimp to earth again
Then the engines failed.
The crew leaped out, tried to
moor the blimp but it slipped free
and was gone.
A Navy spokesman said that ap
parently a helium escape valve,
which the crew pulled, finally did
its job, bringing the blimp down
without assistance.

Enthusiasm Keeps Me Spry
Reports Actor s Father
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD (AP) "When I
do something, I do it with en
thusiasm. If I can't be enthusiastic
about a thing, 1 don't do it."
That explains as well as any
thing why Felix Locher has been
able to find success as a film actor
at the age of 76. Not bad, consid
ering he never acted in his life
until three years ago.
It all started when Locher 'pro
nounced Lo-shay) was visiting Jon
Hall at a costume studio. Hall's
real name is Charles Locher and
he is the son of Felix-

Then the director of the picture

nounced him perfect for the role
of the chief, lie got the part.
But the rest wasn't casyAt 73,
he had to learn a brand-new pro
fession. For a year, he went to
his agent's office and practiced
plays with hopeful young actress
es. When he felt he was ready, he
went after roles. He started with
Matinee Theater on TV, did the
Loretta Young Show, Have Gun,
Will Travel, Shirley Temple's
Storybook and features like
"Kings Go Forth" and "Franken
stein's Daughter."
Now he has his biggest role to
date, playing a Basque elder in
"Between Thunder and the Sun"
with Susan Hayward and Jeff
Chandler.
But he isn't devoting his full
time to acting. He's also a crack
insurance salesman "I'm trying
lo sell my son a partnership pol
icy; he was hard to sell, but I
think he realizes he needs it now."
He also holds 100 copyrights for
his Telecurve World Maps, on
which he lectures before military
units and schools. These are pro
jections of the earth's curves on
flat surfaces.
As if that wasn't enough, Felix
also demonstrates and sells mas
sage machines.
"Enthusiasm that's the way to
avoid growing old," he said.
Decision Due
On ike Aide
WASHINGTON (UPD A White
House decision is expected very
soon on whether Sherman Adams
will resign, as President Eisen
hower's "chief of staff," accord-
to highly placed Republican
sources.
These sources told United Press
International the White House has
been warned to expect a sharp
increase in public criticism of
Adams from GOP congressional
candidates unless the controversi
al White House aide steps down
soon.
They said the White House is
expected to reach a decision
shortly within the next few
days.
Adams returned from a fishing
holiday to his White House desk
Monday amid mounting reports he
is on the way out. Many Repub
licans claim he is a political mill
stone around the neck of GOP
candidates in the congressional
campaign. These complaints
creased after the Maine election
in which Gov. Edmund Muskie de
feated Sen. Frederick Payne, the
Republican incumbent, in the sen
atorial race. Payne had admitted
accepting gifts from Adams mil
lionaire friend, Bernard Goldfine,
but even though this was never
made an issue in the campaign
the Democrats swept to an un
precedented victory.
Adams has been under fire
since congressional investigators
disclosed he accepted lavish gifts
from Goldfine and had made in
quiries at federal agencies about
matters involving Goldfine's tex
tile firms.
Dava Of New. Video Season
Looks Like Shows' Sunsei
By CHARLES MERCER
NEW YORK 'AP) Many tele
vision viewers feel that the dawn
ing of the new season looks more
like the sunset of distinguished
programming, so many good pro
gram's have been dropped in re
cent months.
"See It Now," "Wide Wide
World," "The Seven Lively Arts"
will not return to the home screen.
But "Omnibus." generally credit
ed with inspiring these and other
similar programs, will be back.
On Oct. 26 over NBC-IV it will
present its first of the season, an
examination of capital punishment
conducted by the noted Boston
lawyer, Joseph N. Welch, and
written by James Lee, the author
of last season's "Life of Samuel
Johnson." Reduced to an hour
from its previous 90 minutes.
"Omnibus" will be seen on alter
nate Sundays for a run of 15 programs.
Omnibus, aitnougn tne only
survivor of its kind, is far from
being an emaciated castaway in
fact, its producer, Robert Saudck
Associates, is quitely prospering
in a season when many TV pro
duction firms are noisily starving.
Saudek, a quietly genial and sa
pient veteran of television, cannot
be induced to pontificate or pat
himself on the back. If you ask.
"How do you manage to swim so
well against the present program
ming current when many can't
even swim with it?" he smilingly
replies, "The analogy is yours, not
mine."
But he is most articulate about
what he finds are the basic ele
ments of distinguished TV.
"The first criterion when you
want to do something new in tele
vision is to ask yourself why you
want to do it. A sense of progres
sion is the secret of a good pro
gram; you must know more when
it's ended than when it began.
That's the cake, and showmanship
is only the icing on it.
But a straight documentary
program with no sense of show
manship is dull fare indeed. A
program that's simply a series of
bright jewels never is memorable,
and if you can't remember a pro-
;ram it wasn t very successful.
"You must start with a frame
and then work to make what's
within it as exciting as possible,
just as an artist paints within a
definite frame."
