A-2—Anheim (Cal.) Bulletin Friday, May 1, 1959 TV in Review By WILLIAM EWALD United Press International NEW YORK (UPI)—As anyone who has been in combat knows, all war stories are untrue. I suppose if anyone ever put it down truly, no audience could face it. Norman Mailer caught some of its animality and hopelessness in his clumsy novel, "The Naked and The Dead." A writer named Anton Myrer got some of its fatigue and despair into the closing sections of a minor novel, "The Big War." But Stendhal and Hemingway and Stephen Crane, beloved by the academicians, all botched it. Nobody has ever really written it all down: the terrifying feeling of abandonment, the feeling of being a machine that can take no more, the unending stupidity, the wet, the fifth, the unendurable tiredness, the cowardice in everyone, the constant prayer for a wound which will mean you don't have to face it any more, the savage search for loot, the panic, the dullness, the hatred every infantryman feels for those who sit fat-bellied back at division, army corps and in the fantasy land of civilian life. Thursday night Merle Miller, who toiled for Yank magazine during World War II, tried to get some of it down in "Dark December" on CBS-TV's Playhouse 90. He concentrated his fire on a section of the 101st Airborne trapped in a seminary during the Battle of Bastogne. "Dark December" was a "lest we forget" piece, honest in intent and reasonably faithful in its sights and sounds. But it missed. It missed because it was so Egg Producers Ask Price Hike WASHINGTON (UPI) — American consumers are enjoying cheap eggs, but egg producers are caught in their worst depression since the 1930s. Some poultry men are so desperate they have come to Washington to demand government action to boost egg prices and save them from bankruptcy. A price report issued Thursday at the Agriculture Department gave the statistics: Farmers in mid-April averaged 28.1 cents a dozen for eggs. That's a drop of 10.4 cents—or 27 per cent—from a year ago. Measured against feed costs, egg prices were the lowest on record for April except in 1937. What this means in human problems was related by poultry farmers to a House agriculture subcommittee Thursday at the start of a two-day inquiry into pressed broiler and egg prices. Almost 200 poultry farmers, mostly from New Jersey, showed up to testify and listen. The farmers' proposals included (1) expanded government buying of eggs; (2) government purchase and slaughter of hens to reduce production; and (3) government production controls with a guaranteed fair price. Offers-Little Hope They got little hope for drastic government action from Hermon I. Miller, Agriculture Department poultry chief. To assure fair prices over the long haul, Miller said, would require "restraints on production. He didn't recommend a compulsory control law, suggesting instead that farmers could curb themselves. Doctor Slays Dentist, Self In Chicago Office CHICAGO (UPI)—Police today a physician wrote an parent suicide note before he a dentist friend were found to death in an office suite shared. Authorities said the note by John T. Hart, 61, addressed his wife, expressed regret. I was stupid enough to get meshed with drugs and grape." "Darling, by the grace of I am dying cold sober and y know always where I am what I am doing," the note Hart and his long-time friend, Charles Wingrad, 58, planned to break up their room suite in the Medical C Building because of mounting sensation between them, a told authorities. The nurse, Mrs. Alice Kryn Thursday night Merle Miller, who tolled for Yank magazine during World War II, tried to get some of it down in "Dark December" on CBS-TV's Playhouse 90. He concentrated his fire on a section of the 101st Airborne trapped in a seminary during the Battle of Bastogne. "Dark December" was a "lest-we-forget" piece, honest in intent and reasonably faithful in its sights and sounds. But it missed. It missed because it was so terrific earnest. It was too preachy, too predictable in its course and too pat in its gallery of characters. Miller trotted out; the Jewish doctor who wanted to find belief, the Protestant chapain who feared he had lost his faith, the medic who wanted to fight, the psychologist who believed himself a coward, the charming captured German officer. I suppose this sort of thing is inevitable, but the fact is, most G.I.'s were not types—most were basic and dull and interested only in surviving. It be just impossible to write a truthful work about war — distilling a glob of brutishness may just be an insuperable task. But I should add that Miller and Playhouse 90 gave it a good try. As for the cast, a young actor named Richard Beymer, who played the medic, pilfered the show. He got some stiff competition from James Whitmore, Barry Bullivan, Paul Burke and Michael Landon. Short Stops: "Texas Rodeo," a half-hour which premiered on NBC-TV Thursday night, is the kind of show that may yet drive TV critics out of business. What in the world can be said about a televised rodeo? One woman wrote me recently complaining that rodeos are unkind to animals. However, I think the problem is more serious — this kind of TV show is unkind to humans. There were portions of Thursday night's NBC-TV Laugh Line that struck me as extremely funny, but about those illustrated commercials on the show for ingrown toenails: Ugh. NBC - TV's Music Theatre changed its format Thursday In An Emergency Police Offers Little Hope They got little hope for drastic government action from Hermon I. Miller, Agriculture Department poultry chief. To assure fair prices over the long haul, Miller said, would require "restraints on production. He didn't recommend a compulsory control law, suggesting instead that farmers could curb themselves. Other congressional news: Civil rights: Lawyer Joseph L. Rauh Jr., representing 20 civil rights groups, told a House judiciary subcommittee that southern officials have "thrown down the gauntlet" and made it clear they would not comply with the Supreme Court's school desegregation ruling until the federal government acted. He urged approval of a bill to give federal financial and legal aid to communities integrating their schools. The subcommittee closed its hearings after 17 days of testimony. Strauss: The Senate Commerce Committee recalled Dr. David R. Inglis, chairman of the Federation of American Scientists, in its protracted hearings on the confirmation of Commerce Secretary Lewis L. Strauss. Inglis charged Thursday scientific freedom was "deliberately dragged into the dirt" by Strauss. He said that as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission Strauss pressed the security case against Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer out of "personal vindictiveness." night and presented a straight evening of song with Florence Henderson and Bill Hayes. It was a pretty satisfying half hour — nimble, simple, fleet and fresh.

Steel Emphasizes Position on No-More-Money NEW YORK (UPI)—An industry spokesman emphasized big steel's no-more-money position Thursday night shortly after the United Steelworkers of America announced it would seek "substantial wage increases." The union's 171-man Wage Policy Committee was to conclude a two-day meeting today preparatory to contract negotiations scheduled to begin next Tuesday. Union President David J. McDonald said the committee decided Thursday that it would go after "the greatest contract in the history of the steel industry" with wage increases and boosts in other areas based on higher worker productivity and high industry profits. Arthur B. Homer, president of Bethlehem Steel Company, told a press conference he was speaking for the whole industry when he said that "as far as the profit end is concerned, we need everything we have." Homer said "the profit margin is not great enough as it is" to finance the technological progress the industry must make to keep in competition with Russia.
