OREGON Public Likes TV Reviews Prior To Viewing Shows By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK (AP)-In a preview cf "Harvey" last Monday I ex pressed some reservation over the wisdom of critics judging a TV shovy on the basis of a dress rehearsal before the public has leen the final version. Herewith I withdraw that res nervation. My reason for changing my mind is basically this: Every one in the viewing audience with whom I've discussed the matter likes the idea of reading a critic's impressions before viewing an lm portant TV show. "You can't positively make up my mind as to whether a show is good or bad before I've seen it," said one man. "But you can give me something to think about be- Oil International Nixes Tax Boost LONG BEACH. Calif. (AP) -A proposal to increase a per capita tax by $1 was voted down by the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Work ers International Union at its con vention here Wednesday. The measure, calling for a boost from $1.50 to $2.5(1 per capita, involved a constitutional change and required a roll call vote with a two-thirds majority for passage. The 701) delegates, voting ac cording to the membership each represents, voted 92.681 for and 68,849 against. A proposal for increasing month ly dues from the present $5-to-$H to $5-to-$8 is expected to be acted upon at the convention. fore I see a show. If nothing else you can make me think how fool ish your judgment is. The reason for bringing this case to public court is ironic. It ap pears that a majority of TV crit ics, both in and out of New York, don't like the idea. And it appears that their griping is in danger of causing the overly sensitive net works to ban further previews of live television shows. It now seems probable that last Sunday's episode, in which the sponsor of the season's first "du Pont Show of the Month invited critics to publish their opinions of a New York dress rehearsal of "Harvey," will be called a failure. Unless more people applaud this fine experiment, it's not likely to be repeated. The basic reason why critics out of New York don't like previews seems to be that they feel the practice gives unfair advantage to critics in New York. I don't fol low this. If their newspapers wish, they can ignore previews or pub lish the preview of a syndicated New York critic and follow it up with the local critics reviews. But the greatest irony of the pre view pooh-bah is that the experi ment may have been destroyed by an clement of the New York TV critics the female clement. I knew positively that there was not a New York TV critical fraternity, but until last -weekend I hadn't realized there was a sorority. In general the girls attacked the idea of previews with hatpins and etched their impressions in blood. Let's hope that sensitivity does not run so high at CBS that a complaint can destroy a signifi cant innovation in television pro gramming and reviewing.

For 50 years, the studios have operated the same as most busi nessesfrom 9 in the morning until 6 at night. Sinatra is now doing his third film on a noon to 8 schedule, and he thinks it's the greatest. The picture is "Some Came Running," and Frank said it was over four days ahead of schedule. '.My system makes sense." he argued. "Most show people have learned to perlorm at their best in the afternoon and evening. Why should they be required to work in the morning just to follow the custom? 'This way, you can get a good sleep and start work refreshed. It's especially great for the girls. who can get up at 9 instead of 5 a.m. to start their makeup and hairdressing. We have a break for a meal at 4 and eat right on the set. Very often we'll finish much before 8 because we move so fast. Does he have any trouble con vincing the studios of his shooting method? "No, we just tell them, that's how I like to work, and that's that." Frank's next objective: a four- day shooting week. That'll be the day!. . . . Vincent Price has done 80 TV shows, mostly quizzes, in the past three years and says no one has slipped him a fix yet. "It would have saved me a lot of trouble," he says. "I had to memorize an entire encyclopedia of art." The prequiz conversations are re hearsed, he admitted "Otherwise you might have five minutes of silence." ....

It's an ortho dox situation comedy built around the family of a pediatrician. The series has one principal asset: Miss Reed, an actress who hap pily combines Hollywood sheen with cornfed wholesomeness. Like almost all of TV's situa tion comedies, the new show is child-centered. Famili comedies almost always pivot around the kids and wilh good reason: moth er and father aren't very inter esting people. Their world is lim ited, circumscribed by their homes and jobs and a tight cir cle of neighbors who also lead lives of homes and jobs. It's all a kind of well-adjusted despera Hon. But the trouble with centering 39 plots each season around kids that they are not that inter esting. As a result, alter you've watched h a 1 fa-dozen situation comedies complete with hack gags you ve seen them all. The only lure left is watching the per sonalities.

The Senator was the principal, speaxcr at a Danquet here for some 2110 engineers from the Lnitcd Mates and 20 foreign coun tries, the engineers are in the Pacific Northwest to study the region's dam. "In the upper Columbia Basin, Canada and the United States nuaiely lace a choice between the alternatives of agreement on a program of development for maximum mutual benefit or two purely national programs that would produce lesser total bene- tits at greater cost, both in money and in mutual ill will," Neuber ger said. He said a Canadian proposal for diverting IS million acre feet of the Upper Columbia in the Fraser River in Canada "would be dis astrous, not only to the Pacific Northwest, but also to the un matched record of international harmony and friendship on the North American continent."

It was, in the main, a triumph for producer Ted Mills who managed to surmount the bland personality of Miss Page and turn out a charming half hour. Particularly good was a "Sep tember Song" number that fea tured the chanting of Walter Pid geon and the dancing of Melissa Hayden. Too often on TV, produc tion just clutters the delivery of music. But Wednesday night's camera and scenic eftects rein forced the mood, adding another dimension. It's a show with possi bilities. A side note on Wednesday nignt s surprise tribute to Steve Allen was when he couldn't under stand why he was unable to reach his wife, Jayne, in New York bv telephone. The reason Jayne had sneaked into a Hollywood hotel under the name, "Jane Courtney. Afraid Allen might get wind of the tribute, a phony long-distance call was set up in which Jayne preten ded she was speaking from Man hattan. It was quite obvious from Allen's astonishment Wednesday nignt tne ruse worked. Child Custody Case Pending Court SANTA MONICA, Calif. 'UPD This was to have been the day of decision for actress Lana Tur ner's daughter, Cheryl Crane, the tall, good-looking teenager who fa tally stabbed Johnny Stompanato last April. But it appeared that nothing would be changed in Cheryl's life at least for the present. Lana, Cheryl and Crane were not ex pected in court. Superior Judge Allen T. Lynch was expected to leave her in the temporary custody of her mater nal grandmother, Mrs. Mildred Turner, and continue juvenile court consideration of the girl's tuturer My hands are tied." Judge Lyncn said Wednesday. He referred to a case filed bv Cheryl's father, restaurateur Ste-j phen Crane, objecting to a ruling last June making the girl a ward of the court until the court could decide on her future. Judge Lynch said it appeared inadvisable for him to take any action in the case until a decision had been reached in Crane's ap peal. 1 The restaurant owner, second husband of the blonde movie star, objected to Lynch's ward-of-the court ruling for Cheryl on grounds tnat sne should not be punished for the slaying of Stompanato, found to be "justifiable homicide" by a coroner's jury. At the time of the June hearine. Cheryl was placed with her grand mother although Crane told friends he was ready, willing and able to care for his daughter. A hot custody battle between Crane and Miss Turner became a possibility when the restaurateur decided to act in the case. Glam orous Lana was equally as deter mined to lignt lor Cheryl. Cheryls life became a matter of court concern and world head lines when she walked into the pink boudoir of her mother's Bev erly Hills home and interrupted an argument between Stompanato and Lana. The girl told officers she plunged a butcher knife into hand-l some Johnny because she was afraid he would make good a threat to maim her mother.

The 'Voice Of Firestone" Abandons 30-Year Policy . By FRED DANZIG United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) "Next they'll hold a hula-hoop contest on the Senate floor!" . That was how one devoted fol lower of TV's "Voice of Firestone' series reacted to the announce ment that Abbe Lane, animated disciole of Latin rhythms, will ap pear on the celebrated ABC-TV Droeram next Monday night.
