TV in Review By FRED DANZIG United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — You see, it works this way: win an Oscar on Monday and you come in with your very own TV show on Tuesday. Or so it might seem in the case of David Niven, the Academy Award winner of Monday who bought the David Niven Show on NBC-TV Tuesday night. Incidentally, Niven fans, on Thursday he'll be starred in a Zane Grey Theatre re-run. This surely is his week, if not his year. The fact that Niven's new weekly series, pedestrian though it seems, is replacing a tired old Western, The Californians, is a point in its favor, of course. But other than that, there's not much to be said for the opening episode, "Fortune's Folly," Cameron Mitchel, playing a gambler who is hooked, $10,000 in debt and with a wife who is divorcing him, parLAYS a nickel into $10,000 on a hot Reno craps table after walking in to buy a pack of cigarettes. Naturally, the knowledge that he can't stay away from gambling weighs heavily on his mind and causes him to let his wife go ahead with her divorce plans—after giving her the money. The only suspense came in seeing whether Mitchell would pick up the dice before or after the middle commercial. He waited until after. Niven was a charming host, more charming, in fact, than he was during the Oscar show. But I think that's because he was on film Tuesday night. Nation’s Railroads By PETER T. EARLE United Press International NEW YORK (UPI)—The nation's railroads rolled through the first quarter of the year at increased speed but the pickup was not great enough to pull some of the Eastern roads out of the recession. Over-all, the industry made much better showing in the period than in any quarter last year and traffic and earnings prospect for most roads in the second quarter are considered promising. The railroad industry, heavily dependent on industrial activity, was one of the industries hardest hit by the 1957-58 recession. Consequently, the industry has enjoyed an improvement in operations along with the recovery in general economic activity. Railroads in most areas of the country realized improvements in revenues and earnings in the first quarter. Eastern railroads such as the New York Central and Pennsylvania succeeded in sharply reducing—but not eliminating—the deficits. Activity On Increase The bright spot in the industry's second quarter outlook is the rising trend of activity in such heavy traffic-producing industries as iron and steel, automobile, coal ore and construction.

Niven was a charming host, more charming, in fact, than he was during the Oscar show. But I think that's because he was on film Tuesday night. Short Shots: Highlight of the evening's TV viewing for me was Arthur Godfrey's CBS-TV show, taped along the Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. For escapist viewing, it was excellent. There was only one leape. A commercial on the show took advantage of the blue Pacific by superimposing a box of sleeping pills on it. It was an unfortunate intrusion of reality upon a dreamy setting. Naked City, on ABC-TV, offered a yarn in which the guilty man got off free. His inner torment was his only punishment, which is a rare finish for TV. Nice performance by Martin Balsam and James Franciacus. The "Dancing In The Dark" segment on the Garry Moore show provided some inspired satire and choreography.

Main St. Open Mon. & Frl. 'til 9 P.M. Nation’s Railroads Show Increases in First Four Months By PETER T. EARLE United Press International YORK (UP1)—The new railroads rolled through the quarter of the year at an speed but the pickup was that enough to pull some of eastern roads out of the red. All, the industry made a better showing in the period in any quarter last year and earnings prospects of roads in the second quarter considered promising. Railroad industry, heavily on industrial activity, one of the industries hardest hit the 1957-58 recession. Consequently, the industry has seen improvement in operations with the recovery in economic activity. Activity On Increase Bright spot in the industry’s quarter outlook is the rise of activity in such traffic-producing industries and steel, automobile, coal and construction. 13 regional advisory boards reporting to the Association of American Railroads estimated that freight carloadings in the second quarter of this year will run 12.4 per cent above 5,670,517 cars loaded in the same period of last year, when the recession hit its low. Loadings in the first quarter of 1959 ran approximately 6 per cent ahead of a year ago, but trailed pre-recession levels by 10 per cent. Industry spokesmen pointed out that earnings comparisons for the first half of 1959 should be specially favorable for Eastern railroads, in view of their severely depressed 1958 showing. In the first half of 1958, Eastern roads suffered a 64 per cent earnings drop. Much Working Capital Working capital for the industry is at a very high level, reflecting in part economies of operation realized during the recession. However, the outlook still is for a conservative dividend policy pending a much sharper improvement in earnings. The new transportation law signed late last year has brought about some reduction in losses from unprofitable operations. In the east, unprofitable ferry runs have been eliminated. Industry observers pointed out, however, that every cutback in service forces more custor to compete forms of transportation. And there is an old axiom in the business that: “Freight traffic follows traffic.” One of the big criticisms leveled against the industry — especially the big Eastern roads with their substantial commuter operations — is that they have been following a defeatist attitude toward passengers which eventually may hurt their over-all freight volume. Interest In Mergers Railroads are showing more interest in mergers. And some experts feel that 1959 may be an important year in this respect. There are 131 Class I railroads — those with annual revenues of one million dollars or more—and many industry leaders have gone on record as saying there should be only 100 so major railroad systems.
