Hamlet Is Warmly Received On TV ' Costly Production Brings Fan Mail NEW YORK UP — The next time J. C. Hall finds an idle |IOO,000 in his corporate T>ants pocket he is likely to walk up to the TV betting window and place the whole wad on Shakespeare to win, preferably with Maurice Evans up. 'At least, be had better, if his mail of the past two weeks is any criterion of what the public expects from his NBC Sunday program now that he has spoiled video viewers with a two-hour (presentation of “Hamlet,” starring Evans. The costly production, with a cast that a Broadway producer couldn’t afford, brought an avalanche of enthusiastic mail the like of which no one in television can Te member. “The prospect of more entertainment of this type is just as keen to me as it appears to 'be to the whole national TV audience,” said the Kansas City, .Mo., greeting card manufacturer. “We haen’t made any plans for additional Shakespearean productions as yet, ibut we’re going to make every effort to present more of this kind of entertainment on the Hall of Fame series as soon as it i s practical to do so.” Some of the appreciative correspondents went beyond the general “thank you” and “best ever” notes. A man in Racine, Wis., said .he 1 ought a TV set two years ago and, after failing to appreciate wrestling and Hollywood entertainment quality, gav e it away. He, saw “Hamlet" on a neighbor’s set and said “If I am assured of an equivalent offering but once a month, I’ll buy a television set again.” ‘My husband,” wrote an amazed housewife of Tulsa, Okla., ‘'who has often said that he does not care for ‘long-hair’ programs, never moved from his chair . , . and was very complimentary.” An Aliquippa. Pa., man liked the ■program, but suggested that “there wa s not quite enough difference in age apparent between Hamlet and the uncle.” He also suggested that Hall “take a meataxe” to a ven-

UP — A “more or less open door policy” toward newsmen prevails at the White House today, according to Merriman Smith, United .Press White House reporter. Smith, who addressed the annual Sigma Delta Chi gridiron banquet at Indiana University Tuesday night, said the Eisenhower administration seemed to be making a “genuine effort” to keep the nation informed about the President. Smith, “dean” of the White House press corps, gave presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty chief credit for “the more or less open door policy toward press and radio that prevails at\ the White House today.’’ Smith told how, during the early days of the new administration, "there were some people close to the President who definitely cpposed” this policy. One man tried to "influence the people around the President to take away the press room in the White House and banish reporters to another building where they tcould w’ait like well • behaved automatons for someone to bring them mimeographed handouts,” the White House correspondent said. “This most unwise and arbitrary proposal died in infancy,” Smith said ,“and the White House reporters for the most part are pleased with press relations today.” T i ' ; i-• - ■ L REDS SAY U.

Beer Dealer Asks For Public Hearing Richmond Permittee Is Refused Renewal INDIANAPOLIS, (UP) — The Keystone Beverage Company, Inc.? asked the Indiana alcoholic beverage commission Tuesday for a public hearing on its beer license renewal, which the ABC turned down earlier. A date for hearing, required by law. has not been set. The firm’s majority stockholder is Robert M. Johnston, Richmond, former Wayne county Democratic chairman. Keystone is the first to appeal refusal of renewal by the new ABC. A brief filed by attorney Charles Livengood, Richmond, alleged the ABC’s reasons for refusing renewal would be “insufficient” if existing at and that the denial is "capricious, arbitrary, discriminatory or political.” The brief charged the ABC had granted a permit to William Focht, Richmond, for Focht Beverage Co. on April 30. This, the brief alleged, was illegal because the permit was granted five days before the firm's incorporation papers had been filed with the secretary of state. The ABC, in refusing renewal of the Keystone permit, said Johnston allegedly tried to get Wayne : county officials to influence city officials to renew a retail tavern permit. lishing the neutral custodial commission, formation of a demilitarized custodial camp at Panmunjbm and handling of prisoners. Nam called the new plan a "step backward” reflecting an attitude that "threatens the prospects of the whole armistice negotiations." Harrison called the new propoval which had been drafted in Washington by representatives of nations involved in the Korean fighting, an "excellent basis for an armistice.” Nam’s quick negative reaction shattered momentarily any hope of its acceptance. But his request for another meeting Thursday ruled out speculation he had rejected it entirely as a basis for negotiation. ' ■ . ; i •

U. S. Tornado Rate j Far Above Average UP Year Seems Headed For Tornado Record 1 WASHINGTON UP — The year 1953 seems headed for a tornado record. ' • May, with 2% weeks to go, already has had approximately the “normal” number of tornadoes for the full month. > • Since Jan. 1 the tornado rate has been running between two and three times the normal rate based on' averages going back 35 years. Ivan R. Tannehill, chief of the weather bureau's forecasts division, attributes this to the earlier onset of wdrm weather, which helps breed tornado conditions, and to more complete reporting. Whether 1953 tornadoes will set. losses remains to be seen. The a new record in life and property Waco-San Angelo toll in Texas indicates it may. In the earlly part of the year, however, the death rate was running below normal. Tannehill believes the weather bureau’s ‘ tornado advisory service and corollary local warning networks deserve some credit for this. ‘ The following show§ the number of tornadoes in thb first four months of 1953—and tjie number of deaths where available —as compared to the 35-year averages: January this year, 13 tornadoes and no deaths: 35-year average, four tornadoes and seven deaths. February this year, 15 tornadoes and three deaths; ’ 35-year average, five tornadoes and eight deaths. March this year, 48 tornadoes and 25 deaths; 35-year average, 17 tornadoes and 60 deaths. April this year, 62 tornadoes, deaths not tabulated; 35-year aven age 24 tornadoes and 63 deaths. Through May 11, and including the Waco-San Angelo disaster, there had been 32 tornadoes this month. The normal for the entire month of May. is 33 tornadoes and 42

Streets of the capital’*.bristled with guns, troops and police on guard against Communist oY other factional demonstrations. The U. S. secretary of state flew here from Egypt where a hostile press angrily attacked his fact-finding tour of the turbulent Middle East and V charged the United States with a “conspiracy of evil” with Britain. Dulles was accompanied by mutual security administrator Harold Stassen. Dulles stepped from his military plane at Lydda Airport and told the welcoming Israeli' officials, diplomats and press corps that thd United States is highly appreciative of the “very great progress” the new nation has made in the face of difficulties. ii<. .- r T All (entrances and exits to the airport were barred by 400 heavily armed policemen.

Decision Up To j Private Business 'More Government' Blame On Industry WASHINGTON. UP—lt will be up to private industry to decide if there will be more private enterprise and “less government” in agriculture, John H. Davis said today. The president of the agriculture department’s price-support agency, the commodity credit corporation, said he thinks (here is enough, "brain-power and ingenuity »in America” to meet the challenge and reverse the “trends towards more government ...” But unless private enterprise acts, Davis said,; “The decision becomes an automatic one in favor of more and more government in business.” Writing in the current issue of the department’s “Marketing Activities,” Davis blamed much of the move toward “more and more government” on the industry itself. He said one of the reasons some 13,000.000,000 worth of farm commodities are piling up in CCC ownership today is that in the past, handlers, processors and merchandisers “have not assumed the responsibility of building . . . a (marketing system adequate to meet the farmer needs.” He said real industry-wide "team-work” could provide farm price stability at (fair levels out forcing the government toj Buy up crops and lose money on sales of surplus stocks. serve any useful purpose. Al Misry, the extreme nationalist newspaper, said Dulles, visit to Egypt served only American interests which are “hostile to those of Middle East peoples.” Egyptian foreign minister Mahmoud Fawzi said he thought the visit profitable.

Godfrey Checks In For Planned Surgery Television, Radio Star In Hospital BqSTON UP —Arthur Godfrey, red-haired .television and radio star, underwent preliminary tests for a major operation here today. It was unofficially reported the surgery may ( be performed Thursday. Godfrey checked; in at Phillips House of the Massachusetts general hospital Tuesday after winning a ;hide-and-seek game with flans and newsmen on hand to greet him when his private plane landed at Logan Airport. With Godfrey himself apparently at the controls, the silver DC-3 taxied to a terminal. But the plane took off with a roar as some 30 sane and newsmen raced toward the craft. > \ A short time; later Godfrey’s plane made a second landing after he had contacted ■ the control tower and asked that an automobile be made ready to take him to the hospital. From his bedside, Godfrey said he was “amazed and horrified” to see the newsmen and fans rushing to his plane with the propellers turning over at 300 to 400 revolutions per minute. '■ Noting the newspapers wrote of “the throngs I brushed off,” Godfrey said "I did it for their wives, husbands and children’s sake. Even a handsome photographer doesn’t look pretty with his head chewed Jup.’’ I Hospital authorities said Godfrey will undergo preliminary tests prior to the surgery to correct two | hip joints injured in an automobile | accident 22 years ago.
