A-2—Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin Thursday, April 16, 1959 TV in Review By WILLIAM EWALD NEW YORK (UPI)—Bob Hope's fast ball has lost much of its hop, but he remains a superb technician who still chucks a comfortable game. Wednesday night, Hope, working in loose alliance with Jack Benny and Ginger Rogers, bunched together a collection of taped sequences for a one-hour NBC-TV SPECIAL. The hour was freely chartable: It contained an opening Hope monolog, a sketch that dealt with Benny's niggardiness, a song by Miss Rogers that was stronger on visual values than musicianship, a dollop of Jerry Colonna-type vertigo. There was even one Hope-Rogers-speof of neatniks that followed the pattern of a beatnik ski that Hope did with the wondrously pastic Carol Haney on a recent special. It was all very standard, some of it funny, some of it not quite so funny, none of it completely dudish. I could say the hour lacked brilliance, vitality, buoyancy and that this was most evident in Hope's opening monolog which ranged over a wide catalog of current matters—Washington, rocketsmen, the Japanese royal wedding—but which never really sunk a deep needle into anything. But somehow I doubt whether these lacks disturbed Hope's audience very much. It is, after all, almost impossible to go wrong when you harness two pros like Hope and Benny together. And if they were content to settle for a leisurely trot rather than a giddy gallop, so let it be. Note: I wish to thank all those people who during my recent months.

Short Shots: Wednesday night's NBC-TV Wagon Train—a thing about a fumbling egghead who redeemed himself—was a conventional omelet, but Wally Cox's portrayal of the wispy, wooly cloudland hero was a delicious piece of playing. CBS - TV's Armstrong Circle Theatre turned in another tidy job Wednesday night with "Trail of Diamonds," a drama about a smuggling ring.

For Special Probes LOS ANGELES (UPI)—U.S. Attorney Lauglin E. Waters today announced formation of a new division to investigate crime organizations such as the so-called Mafia.

(UPI) — President Eisenhower will move increasingly into the field of personal diplomacy because of the resignation of allied Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. This was the forecast today from persons closely conversant with Eisenhower's mood and work patterns since Dulles suffered his second major flareup of cancer early last February. Persofs who knew first hand how the President took over many of Dulles' foreign policy chores in February expected him to shoulder an even more active role in this field now that Dulles is sidelined. There were varied reasons why Eisenhower could be expected to inject himself increasingly into the formation and conduct of foreign policy. One was that regardless of Dulles' successor, the new secretary cannot expect to have the same degree of close friendship and understanding that existed between Eisenhower and Dulles. Traditionally and historically, a President determines foreign policy and his state secretary executes it. It would be more accurate to say that Eisenhower and Dulles made foreign policy together. With a new secretary, Eisenhower was expected to be calling the shots to an increased degree. The inheritance tax measure was on file for hearing in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee where it was stalled earlier this week. That measure already has passed the revenue and Taxation Committee. It would boost inheritance tax on legacies to aunts, uncles, cousins, remote relatives and acquaintances of the deceased world bring in four million dollars more.

ANAHEIM TELEPHONE KEYSTONE 3-3387 British Question Thor's Ability By BILL WILKS United Press International VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (UPI) — British newsmen today openly questioned the "operation" label the United States has placed on its Thor intermediate range missile. The visiting journalists have been here all week waiting to see the first launching of the 1,500-mile weapon by a Royal Air Force crew, but so far they have waited in vain. The Thor was slated to be blasted over the Pacific missile range both Tuesday and Wednesday but the firings were postponed, once because of bad weather and the second time for unspecified "technical" reasons. Another launching attempt was set for today. "That giving 'technical' reasons for the delay," said one British newsman, "means to the British public that the damn thing won't work." Washington tells us that the Thor is operational," said another, "but our government says it has not yet reached that capability." The American-made Thor-missile already lines British bases as a deterrent weapon against Russia. British troops have been brought here to be trained in its use and the present firing caps their graduation exercises. The British newsmen appeared to be fair in their criticism, and noted the Thor's effectiveness as the first-stage rocket which blasted both Discoverer earth satellites into orbits from this base about FOX DINES WELL BY RAIDING ZOO PAIGNTON, England (UPI) —A smart fox has picked a well-stocked source for his dinners — the Paignton Zoo bird cage. Zoo officials said the fox made off with a goose Tuesday night. The night before, the bushy-tailed bandit snapped up the zoo's pride and joy—a $100 Japanese white-necked crane. Zoo keepers have laid special traps for the fox. But they don't plan to kill him. They want to put him in a cage. 170 miles north of Los Angeles. Their concern seemed to be of the British public's reaction to the delays in the ballyhooed firing of the missile by Englishmen. "A reason will have to be given that the British public will accept," said one of the Britishers. "There is a certain feeling in England against our using the Thor as a deterrent weapon because of such things as these delays."
