TV in Review By WILLIAM EWALD NEW YORK (UPI)—Sam Levenson moved into Arthur Godfrey's morning chair at CBS-TV Wednesday and spent the half-hour interviewing Martha Raye and comedy writer Nat Hiken. Levenson came equipped with some amusing stories. I liked his quotesmanship on the difference between humor and wit; humor pictures, wit punctures. And he offered nice tagline for the prisoner who was only permitted to watch daytime TV and asked what he thought of it, replied: "I thought it was part of the punishment." But the trouble with amusing stories is that unless you have a subject who is primed to trade gags with you, the interview proceeds by fits and starts. There are two types of TV interviews: the one in which you try to draw a portrait of your subject and the one in which are seeking facts. In the first it's good technique to let your subject draw himself, pushing out on his own, wandering down side paths, exploring asides. The second calls for a prepared set of questions and a strict checking of any meandering. Wednesday, Levenson unfortunately shuttled between the two—a pretty tricky tack particularly when you're working with two guests—and as a result, Miss Raye wasn't profiled very well and Hiken didn't supply much information. When Levenson guested on the Godfrey morning show several weeks back, Godfrey gave Levenson his head a good deal. Godfrey threw in a lead question or two and let Levenson wheel out on his own for large slabs of time. As a result, Levenson shot off sparks. BREAK WITH PRECEDENT — Japanese Crown Princess Michiko (right) is greeted by her mother as the princess braved a drizzling rain to visit her parents' home in Tokyo. It was a blow to tradition, because this is the first time in the history of the Japanese imperial family that either a princess consort or an empress consort has ever been allowed to visit her parents' home after marriage into the royal family.

Godfrey threw in a lead question or two and let Levenson wheel out on his own for large slabs of time. As a result, Levenson shot off sparks. Levenson might take a lesson from that experience—decide in advance what sort of interview he wants, prod and poke if it's facts he's gunning for, range and drift if his guest's personality is the goal. And by all means, step back a little more out of camera range himself. CBS-TV's Armstrong Circle Theatre took a hard look at the juke family Wednesday night in "Sound of Violence — The Juke Box Rackets." Like most Circle Theatre offerings, it was a modest effort—small-scaled and staffed by performers of semi-anonymity — but even so, the show managed to drive its point home with some force. Its dramatization of the mobile methods used to organize the juke industry in one town was tough, engrossing and fairly frightening. And Circle Theatre wisely avoided ending its evening on an upbeat note—cheer obvious-ly is not the order of the day here. The acting was serviceable, with Frank Sutton and Bert Freed the principal stickouss. In a minor role, you may have noticed Virginia Gibson—she is the blonde who starred on Your Hit Parade a couple of seasons back.

Among the new NBC-TV shows next fall, according to a tentative schedule: Whispering Smith with Audie Murphy, Wichita Town with Joel and Jody McCrea, a series of 39 Friday night specials another series of Tuesday-night specials, and three new one-hour shows, Riverboat, Laramie and Bonanza. An appropriations bill carrying $181,391,700 more than the President requested for health, education and welfare programs was slated for House debate amid signs it would meet no organized GOP opposition. Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind.), leader of the outmanned Republican forces, said some items in the bill were "too high" but he added, "We have to face the fact that there isn't much we can do about it." The fact of the matter also was that a good many Republicans had no stomach for voting against items like increased funds for research into cancer, heart ailments, and other diseases. The bill carried 50 million dollars more than the budget for these items. As sent to the House floor, the bill would provide $3,915,084,181 for the Health, Education and Welfare Department and the Labor Department and related agencies in the next fiscal year. One of the biggest single increases was a hike of 50 million dollars for research on diseases by the National Institutes of Health. Wisconsin's Rep. Melvin R. Laird, ranking Republican on the appropriations subcommittee which drafted the bill, strongly defended this stepped up spending. Laird said the $344,279,000 provided for the National Institutes of Health "is small compared to the potential economic benefits which will come as medical research achieves new knowledge to bring the killing the crippling diseases of today progressively under control."

Set New Allies Assess Herter "Grade A" By ELLINGTON LONG United Press International PARIS (UP1) — British, French and West German diplomats pronounced Christian Herter "Grade A" today in their first assessment of America's new secretary of state. They reported he is alert, listens intently when others are speaking, catches details without letting them shade the larger issues and, when he intervenes in the discussion, speaks forthrightly and even forcefully without any attempt to dominate the conversation. These conclusions were drawn from Herter's behavior at Wednesday's opening session of the Western foreign ministers conference here. The meeting is Herter's first major assignment since he succeeded John Foster Dulles as secretary of state. One British diplomat said his delegation was quite favorably impressed by Herter at the informal round-table talks. He said Herter listened courteously and carefully, caught several points of detail that others apparently had missed or misunderstood and then when he spoke, it was firmly, briefly and to the point. Most of the work of the four foreign ministers is done in English, but occasionally French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville or West German Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano uses his own language to express some particularly complicated idea. Herter, who was born in Paris 64 years ago, has no difficulty understanding Couve de Murville. In fact, he began his visit here Tuesday by reading a statement before television cameras in flawless French. It is not known just how good Herter's German is, but he listened intently when Von Brentano spoke. There has been some comment on Herter's arthritis, but much of it has been in praise of his courage. Photos of him using his shiny metal arm-crutches were front-paged. GI's Clothes Shuffled On Long Ocean Trips FRANKFURT, Germany (UPI) — Spring has arrived in Frankfurt and so have the Dangelo winter clothes after crossing the Pacific twice, the United States once and the Atlantic once. Mrs. Lucille Dangelo, wife of SFC Leon Dangelo, left their home in Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 26, 1958, to join her husband in Germany. She shipped ahead a locker of winter clothing. There was a long wait, but at last Mrs. Dangelo found out this week what had happened. The locker was shipped to California, then to the Philippines, back to Fort Worth and then to New York, where it was held up because no one knew who owned it. Then in New York someone looked inside the locker and found that the sergeant was stationed in Frankfurt with the Third Armored Division. The locker was sent to its proper destination.

(UPI) —Bill Bell was knocked off the fifth floor of a new office building under construction here Wednesday—and returned to work on the 19th floor in less than 30 minutes. Bell, 34, was installing refrigeration pipes at the new Kaiser Center office building when he was struck by a swinging boom. As he plunged over the edge, he grabbed a rope and slid safely to the ground. His heavy gloves prevented rope burns —so Bell went right back to work. Harry Truman Gives Long Life Prescription NEW YORK (UPI) — Former President Harry S. Truman, who'll be 75 May 8, says he stays healthy and active by eating and drinking moderately, getting a good night's sleep each day, and never missing his morning walk. But his advice for long life, he told a UPI reporter Wednesday, is, "Pick the right grandparents, like I did. They lived a long time."

The airliner-type system will be used for the Century 21 Exposition, which opens here May 10, 1961, on a 74-acre site about a mile from the heart of Seattle. Contracts between the transit commission and Lockheed will be signed following completion of financial arrangements with the Century 21 Exposition Corp., and the completion of design specifications, Commission Chairman W.W. Scruby said. Estimated cost of the complete monorail system is five million dollars, including three "air-trains," supporting structures and terminals. "It is a 'breakthrough' in styling and design which could well bring the passengers back to urban mass transportation. Seattle's development in this field will give visitors from all parts of the world a glimpse of the promise of tomorrow's transportation," Scruby added. Cyril Chappellet, Lockheed senior vice president, said his firm will begin work immediately on engineering and production detail design and will have the airtrain system operational on Nov. 1, 1960, six months before the opening of the world's fair. Chappellet said the monorail airliners will take passengers from downtown Seattle to the exposition grounds overlooking Puget Sound in 94 seconds. Top speed of the air trains will be 60 miles per hour.
