A-2—Anaheim (Col.) Bulletin Monday, April 13, 1959 TV in Review By FRED DANZIG NEW YORK (UPI)* — As far as TV goes, I think "The Strange Ordeal of The Normandier" on NBC-TV Sunday is less important than the strange ordeal of Omnibus, the show that presented it. That unfettered and unparalleled TV series, Omnibus, also was unsponsored. A spokesman for producer Robert Saudek said the lone sponsor's seasonal commitment merely expired before the Omnibus season did. "We are awaiting renewal for next season," he added. I worry when a venturesome, much-honored program like Omnibus must anxiously await a buyer at this date, when so many lesser shows are being snapped up for next fall. Anyhow, thanks to NBC for sticking with the series for the rest of this season. Now, for the show itself: "Normandier" was a tramp freighter whose crew was stricken with blackwater fever in 1918. Unfortunately, the playing of this maritime tragedy was too broad, too shrill, too melodramatic and didn't snap into human-scale focus until the final few minutes. I felt the production staff's victory in melotaping the show despite many difficulties overshadowed the ultimate triumph of some crewmen, led by Rex Thompson, over disease and stormy weather. It was nice getting George Bernard haw on TV, even though it was just a splintered Egyptian smudgin of his "Caesar and Cleopatra." Maurice Evans and Piper Laure appeared in the kittenish first act of the G.B.S. classic on CBS. MONSTER MISSILE — The Air Force has disclosed that a milion pound thrust, single chamber, liquid-fueled rocket engine successfully test-fired last March. This artist's concept of a vehicle that could be thrusted to interplanetary range by a nation of the massive engines, shows a top booster approximate size of a jet plane which is a theoretical manned missile. It was nice getting George Bernard haw on TV, even though it was just a splintered Egyptian smidgin of his "Caesar and Cleopatra". Maurice Evans and Piper Laure appeared in the kittenish first act of the G.B.S. classic on CBS-TV's GE Theater Sunday night and it made for a tight show, in the GE Theater style. I thought Piper made a proper Shaw Cleopatra. Evans was Evans. No doubt, the sponsor feels it has done something noteworthy, but I suspect that the lure was a Shaw fragment that didn't say very much. It's a rare combination and an irresistible one. The Channel Swim: NBC-TV's tentative fall schedule lists six one-hour Westerns over a six-day period. The lineup would be: Trace Hunter on Sunday, 7-8 p.m.; from 7:30-8:30 p.m. — Bat Masterson, Monday; Bonanza, Tuesday; Wagon Train, Wednesday; Laramie, Thursday; Riverboat, Saturday. A non-Western Johnny Staccato, starring John Cassavetes as a private eye, would go into the Saturday 8:30-9 p.m. slot. One of the seven "space men," Marine Lt. Col. John Glenn Jr., won $25,000 with Eddi Hodges on the CBS-TV Name That Tune show in October, 1957, when he was a major. Comedian Wally Cox is branching out. He'll be assistant to producer Bob Graph in the NBC-TV series, The Secret of Freedom, which Archibald MacLeisch is writing for next season. Lollobrigida Leaves To Make U.S. Movie NEW YORK (UPI)—Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida leaves by plane for Hollywood today to make her first American movie, with Frank Sinatra. Miss Lollobrigida, accompanied by her husband Dr. Milko Skofic, and their 18-month-old son, arrived here Sunday from Europe. She had gone to Hollywood previously to make a movie but had been prevented from doing so by a dispute with producer Howard Hughes who claimed he had an exclusive contract for her services. Miss Lollobrigida was asked Sunday if this had been settled. "I think so," she replied. "I go there. I work. I am free." Flight Congress Opens in Vegas By CHARLES CORDDRY United Press International LAS VEGAS (UPI) — The first World Congress of Flight. A ca's most elaborate bid to provide a showcase for aviation pro and ideas, opened today with a conference on the impact o transportation on an international basis. Hundreds of planes, from an experimental inflatoplane to the Force's B58, the Convair 880 and Douglas DC8 jet airliners, have been flown here for demonstrations and exhibits. The Air Force will show four of its latest missiles, the Thor, Atlas, Snark and Bomarc, during the week-long show. About 100 U.S. and foreign manufacturers have taken space in the Las Vegas Convention Hall to display aeronautic, missile and related projects. While 77 governments of the world were invited to the meeting, the first World Flight Congress is primarily a U.S. show. If successful, the nation hopes to rival the established British Aviation Show at Farnborough. The stated purpose of the Flight Congress, of which Edward P. Curtis is general chairman, is "to portray and analyze the impact of modern aviation on the international economy." The Army, Navy and Marines joined the Air Force in preparing the program, which includes demonstrations Tuesday of new ground support equipment in action. Aerial demonstrations of the latest military jet planes will be part of Wednesday's program at Nellis Air Force Base, 48 miles from the convention center.

See A-Power as Key to Water By JERRY REYNOLDS United Press Internail SACRAMENTO (UPI) — Nuclear power may hold the key to California's future water development, an Assembly committee reported today. Ending a two-year investigation, a committee headed by Assemblyman Jack A. Beaver (R-Redlands) reported to the Legislature: "The key to the successful solution of California's water problems lies in the development of all new sources of low-cost energy. The time of economic nuclear power is near at hand." The committee urged full federal-state cooperation in constructing and operating a nuclear-powered salt-water conversion plant in California. It conceded that present costs of converting salt water generally were much higher than for water developed from other sources. Test of Theories But the committee said it felt that establishment of a major saline water conversion plant of not less than a million gallons a day capacity would provide a real test of laboratory theories that atomic energy can make material reductions in cost. The Assembly group also reported that an all-out investigation should be made to determine if the pumping plants for the proposed Feather River Project should be powered by nuclear energy. "It appears that the cost of off-peak electricity in the future, when major delete diversion and trans-" Noted Musician Dies Suddenly in Holland AMSTERDAM (UPI)—Eduard Van Beinum, first conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra and of the Los Angeles Symphony, died of a heart attack here today at the age of 58. Van Beinum, who divided his time between the Dutch and American orchestras, was rehearsing with the Amsterdam Orchestra in the concert hall here when he was stricken. He had been suffering for some time from angina pectoris, a form of heart disease. He spent a few days in hospitals recently undergoing a checkup, but had returned to work. He conducted his last concert Saturday in The Hague. Van Beinum had worked with the Concertgebouw Orchestra for 28 years, and had been its first conductor since 1945. He was married to a former concert violinist Nee Eva Jansen, and had two sons, Bart and Eduard. NEW G.O.P.

Experimental inflatoplane to the Air Cost of Aged Medical Care Bill Told by Flemming WASHINGTON (UPI)—The Elenhower administration declared today that a controversial, laboracked plan to give old folks free medical care would cost one billion dollars a year. Arthur S. Flemming, secretary of health, education and welfare, but that price tag on the plan in 117-page report to the House Ways & Means Committee which outlined several possible methods to help the aged meet medical needs. Flemming did not come out for or against any of the systems. He said his department was strudying the police issues involved and would make specific recommendations later. The free-care bill, which the American Medical Association firmly opposes, would in effect give persons on Social Security rolls up hospital and surgical insurance for life. The Assembly group also reported that an all-out investigation should be made to determine if the pumping plants for the proposed Feather River Project should be powered by nuclear energy. "It appears that the cost of off-peak electricity in the future, when major delete diversion and transmountain pumping facilities would be in use, may be prohibitive for large scale water transportation," the committee report said. "Developments in the nuclear energy field... could lead to power costs substantially below those of today." Major Research Program The state already has embarked on an extensive research program in both salt-water conversion plants and the potential of nuclear energy for power generation. A nuclear energy unit has been created in the Department of Water Resources, and the University of California and its radiation laboratory at Livermore are carrying on extensive experiments in saline water conversion and nuclear power. The state, likewise, has put up $40,000 as its share of the $100,-000 cost of designing a sea water conversion plant powered by a nuclear reactor. Beaver said he was confident such a plant would be built and in operation in California "in the near future." Billy Graham Bothered By Eye Ailment Again SYDNEY, Australia (UPI) — Evangelist Billy Graham has a recurrence of and old eye complaint but will not restrict his Sydney crusade, it was reported today. But after Tuesday when he addresses a special convocation of students at Sydney University he will not speak at any additional meetings. He addressed 100 clergymen today on evangelism. Graham has been under strict medical supervision for eye trouble since he left America in January. The ailment delayed his Australian tour of two weeks. Diana Dors Married outlined several possible methods to help the aged meet medical bills. Flemming did not come out for or against any of the systems. He said his department was strudying the police issues involved and would make specific recommendations later. The free-care bill, which the American Medical Association firmly opposes, would in effect give persons on Social Security rolls paid up hospital and surgical insurance for life. Other congressional news: Farm: Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) demanded again that Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson present a "self-help" program for dairy farmers. In a letter to Benson, Proxmire said the secretary had rejected every proposal from the farmers themselves after encouraging them to work out a plan. This, Proxmire said, indicated Benson deliberately had sent the dairymen on a "wild goose chase." Officers: The armed forces told a House appropriations subcommittee in testimony just released that they did not feel they had too many officers. The full committee asked the services earlier to bring into "better balance" the increasing ratio of officers to enlisted men. The military forces said they planned these ratios for the year starting July 1: Air Force, 15.4 enlisted men per officer; Army, 11.5; Navy 11.05; Marines, 9.26. Foreign Aid: The House Foreign Affairs Committee heard more citizens' views on President Eisenhower's embattled $3,900,000,-000 foreign aid program. The witnesses represented the Synagogue Council of America, Americans For Democratic Action, Council For Christian Social Action, United Church of Christ, Church of The Brethren and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Foundations—second floor Seek Gunman Who Fired On Va. Governor By WILLIAM B. MEAD RICHMOND, Va. (UPI)—Police officials met here today to plan further steps in their search for someone who fired at Gov. J. Lindsay Almond. The 60-year-old Almond was shot at Friday as he was walking from the executive mansion to his office in the state Capitol. One of his three bodyguards hustled him inside the Capitol as the other two searched for the gunman. Police said they were "nearly certain" an ardent segregationist had fired the shot at the governor. Almond had been threatened by telegrams, letters and telephone calls several times during the current school desegregation crisis. Wilbur Walker, an aide and one-time private detective, said he would meet with Lt. C. G. Phaup, chief of the Capitol police force, and other state agents to plan their investigation. Almond, however, shrugged off the incident. "I'm just going to go on living and do the best I can," he said. "If someone knocked me off, there's a good man ready to take my place." He was referring to Lt. Gov. A. E. S. Stephens, who is next in line of succession. The shot was fired from a clump of shrubbery lining an iron fence only a few feet from the mansion. Police who rushed to the scene found only lead fragments and a smoldering cigaret. NEW G.O.P. CHAIRMAN — Senator Thruston Morton (R-Ky.) is down at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., after the announcement came from Augusta, Ga., that President Eisenhower had recommended that the Republican National Committee select Morton as new G.O.P. National Chairman. This assured the formal selection of Morton at a full meeting of the National Committee in Washington. They had been sent to Iraq committee of four Protestant churches working through the Red Missions in Iraq. The council spokesman said the government gave the miseries no reason for the exoneration order. He said the reason currently was political, rather religious, since there have no reports of suppression of practice of Christianity in Iraq. Only seven Protestant missionaries now are left in Iraq, the council said. Fashion Shows Presented weekly! EACH TUES. EVE. AT 7:30 P.M.
