TV in Review
By WILLIAM EWALD
NEW YORK (UPI) — I must confess to a limited enthusiasm for the work of Gilbert and Sullivan. Their products have always struck me as the rock 'n' roll of the educated class-rhythmically and texturally monotonous, punctuated only occasionally by a line of moderate funniness.
Like teen-age rock 'n' roll-fans, Gilbert and Sullivan buffs delight in the repetition of the familiar. Productions are rigidly unvarying and great pleasure is taken in anticipating sections of the holy ritual. It's all a little like the glee Presley champions evidence when faced with a stack of Elvis records that they've played 200 times over.
Sunday, Omnibus shut down its NBC-TV season with Gilbert and Sullivan's "H.M.S. Pinafore" and happily, loosened its stiff bones a little. The usual staging of G. and S. is terribly starchy, but director Norman Campbell took advantage of his cameras' mobility to poke some light and movement into its skeleton.
Unfortunately, there wasn't too much to work with. Pinafores spoof of the military, of class distinction, of the man-woman war, is elephantine, lacking in thrust, airiness and for that matter, wit. Its lyrics contain a few phrases of felicitous turn, but its music is hopelessly tacky. That music has endured for the same reason the Pepsi-Cola jingle has—it has been riveted into our minds so often that we are victims of its regularity.
Cyril Ritchard, in the role of Admiral Joseph Porter, was first rate — sly, spirited, nimble. Poking just enough fun at his part to keep the whole ponderous porridge in balance. His was a real triumph over material. The rest of the cast was wanting in bounce and flair, among them Jacquelyn McKeever, William Chapman and Loreh Driscoll.
Short Shots: Marge Champion won all the marbles for the week end with her superb spoof of Kathryn Murray of NBC-TV's Arthur Murray Party. Mrs. Champion, working Sunday night on the NBC-TV Dinah Shore show, captured her victim with devastating accuracy, down to her dress, carriage and aimless chatter.
The two-part study of Winston Churchill, concluded Sunday on CBS-TV's Twentieth Century, was a solid pictorial portrait.

New Evidence On Fallout
WASHINGTON (UPI)—U.S. scientists are examining with r reactions the latest mass of dence concerning radioactive out from nuclear tests.
Testimony taken by the gressional subcommittee on diation last week contains an nition both for those who fallout is a matter for grave cern and for those who mini the danger.
Neither side claims to made any converts in the pa congressional hearing room thinks the other is misleading public about the danger of f to world health.
One major development w special report by the AVE Energy Commission's General visory Committee.
On a basis ignoring strong 90, the principal menace, AEC-GAC found that fall contribution to the general activity is less than five per as much, as that of me X-rays. Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, dependent physicist, called th port "less than candid."
Other scientists talked of dreds of cases of cancer and or hundreds of thousands of ditary defects, including ph malformations and feebleness that would result from out already injected into th and atmosphere.
These scientists still said ever, that the percentage of fallout tragedies will be so with relation to the total o man miseries that the diff probably never will be de
There was solid agreement on point—if nuclear test resumed at the 1958 or at celerated rate, worldwide rive fallout can become a hazard to health.
Many scientists fear fall the Geneva talks seeking ban would presage bigger experiments.

State Could Face Mich.-Type Chaos
SACRAMENTO (UPI)—The financial crisis that has beset Michigan, complete with unmet payrolls and unpaid bills, could happen in California—but it is unable to redeem it at a later date.
If all of Brown's taxes fall, Levi said, California "would have to issue warrants by the end of this year."
State Could Face Mich.-Type Chaos
SACRAMENTO (UPI)—The financial crisis that has beset Michigan, complete with unmet payrolls and unpaid bills, could happen in California—but it is unlikely that it will.
That was the consensus today of fiscal leaders in both the Legislature and the administrative branch of government who were contacted in a United Press International poll.
Finance Director Bert Levit said a financial debacle like the one in Michigan "certainly" could happen in California "if we continue to spend more than we take in taxes."
He added that he didn't think trouble would develop unless the state was hampered by "a political situation which prevented a logical solution."
The problem in Michigan centers around a political fight between Democratic Gov. G. Menken Williams and the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Clear Line Of Power
Gov. Edmund G. Brown, a Democrat, pointed out that California did not have that problem—at least not this year.
"The executive and the majority in both houses of the Legislature here are members of the same political party," Brown said.
"For the most part all of us see eye to eye on our budget and tax program."
One man in the Legislature who doesn't see "eye to eve" with Brown on the budget and taxes is Republican Assembly Whip Bruce Sumner of Santa Ana. However, Sumner said he thought financing of state government "is too important for partisan politics."
He said if new taxes were necessary, "the only sound position is to vote for them, and I don't care who is governor."
In Michigan the Republican Legislature has refused to agree to William's tax program and the Democratic governor has refused to okay the tax plan which the lawmakers say they would pass.
Need For Money Shown
Underlying the fiscal structure of California are hard figures that indicate the state needs money.
During the last 10 fiscal years, California has had a balanced to redeem it at a later date.
If all of Brown's taxes fall, Levi said, California "would have to issue warrants by the end of this year."
While Levit said he felt that passage of the governor's tax bills was the only way to avoid financial chaos, Assemblyman Harold K. Levering (R-Los Angeles), a leader of the conservative bloc said taxes would lead to fiscal trouble "in the next four years."
Levering said, "We are taxing industry out of California."
Assemblyman Thomas MacBride (D-Sacramento), legislative sponsor of Brown's tax program, flatly ruled out Michigan-style financial problems.
"The most important difference is that California has recognized its problem in time and is taking decisive action before there is a crisis—not in the middle of one," he said. "If the Legislature will approve the governor's proposed budget and tax program, I am sure we can avoid the troubles with which Michigan is presently plagued."

Underlying the fiscal structure of California are hard figures that indicate the state needs money.
During the last 10 fiscal years, California has had a balanced budget only three times—in 1952, 1955 and 1956. This year the treasury has paid out more than 115 million dollars more than it has taken in already, and the year is not yet over.
Levit said if the Legislature rejected all or most of Brown's 256-million-dollar tax increase package, it "would be laying the foundation" for a financial disaster like Michigan's.
But, he said that even under the worst conditions, California probably would be able to meet its payrolls. He said the state would issue "registered warrants," a kind of check without backing that banks will accept in the hopes that the state will be able

House Committee Opens Probe of Big Red Lie
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Space Committee opened an investigation today to find out of Russia told a “big Red lie” when it claimed its “Lunik” rocket soared past the moon and into orbit around the sun.
The first witness was writer Lloyd Mallan who sparked the inquiry when he labeled “Lunik”, a gigantic hoax in a True magazine article. He called Moscow’s claims a “big Red lie.” Top U.S. space experts were ready to tell the committee they think Millan is all wet. They said they had scientific data authenticating the Soviet feat.
Other congressional news:
Strauss: The Senate Commerce Committee began what could be the last week of its long bearings on Lewis D. Strauss’ appointment as commerced secretary. Chairman Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) has said he hoped to end the three-month inquiry Tuesday or Wednesday.
Social Security: Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.) proposed legislation which would permit persons who continued to work after age 65 to ride up social security benefits for use after retirement. Under present law persons between 65 and 72 who earn more than $1,200 a year must forfeit Social Security benefits. Clark’s plan would be paid for by a ¼ of one per cent alike in the Social Security tax on workers and employers.
Smut: Rep. Charles E. Chamberlain (R-Mich.) introduced a bill to permit the Post Office to bear from the mails anything conspiratory.
SP ‘Lark’ Trains Collide on Grade
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (UPI) — Two Southern Pacific pullman trains with 235 passengers and crewmen aboard sideswiped early Sunday, derailing eight cars and diesel units and injuring five persons.
The sister trains called the Lark were both traveling slowly because of mountain grades. The accident apparently occurred when the northbound Los Angeles to San Francisco train pulled out from a siding too soon and rammed the last four coaches of the southbound train, officials said.
Impact of the crash ripped up 800 feet of track about nine miles north of here halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco and hurled passengers from their Pullman beds. All of the injured were on the southbound train traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
One of the injured, porter Bonnie Daniel, 64, Los Angeles, credited a collapsed door with saving his life from flying debris.
“All of a sudden the train caved in on me. A door fell on top of me. I couldn’t move.”
Rescuers had to cut Daniel out of the wreckage with an acetylene torch.
His injuries were minor as were the injuries of other victims.
Service on the railway was discontinued for 24 hours. The passengers on the wrecked trains were taken to their destination by buses.
Three Pullman cars and a dining car of the southbound train were derailed and left leaning at a 45-degree angle against an embankment. The first two diesel
which would permit persons who continued to work after age 65 to pile up social security benefits for use after retirement. Under present law persons between 65 and 72 who earn more than $1,200 a year must forfeit Social Security benefits. Clark's plan would be paid for by a ¼ of one per cent stake in the Social Security tax on workers and employers.
Smut: Rep. Charles E. Chamberlain (R-Mich.) introduced a bill to permit the Post Office to open from the mails any considered obscene "in the opinion of the normal, reasonable and prudent individual." The Post Office already has power to reject obscene mail but no definition is spelled out.
In major developments Sunday:
Civil Rights: Sen. Allen J. Elender (D-La.) said Congress would bite off its nose to spite its face if "radical Northern liberals" pushed through new civil rights measures. He said he was shocked at the lynching of an accused Negro rapist in Mississippi and the rape of a Negro co-ed in Florida. But he said new civil rights laws would not curb such violence.
Labor: Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) asked voters to write their congressmen urging that the House strengthen the Senate-passed labor-reform bill. Goldwater, who wants stiffer legislation, said the house was "far more susceptible to pressure" than the Senate.
