r , • \. TT---7' ■ —. TV Networks Shape Up New Schedules Spectaculars Will Liven Up Schedules NEW YORK (UP)—The regular 1957-58 TV season seems to be shaping up as a lump of mediumtedium. It’ll be up to the "oneshots” .to shoot some juice into the schedule. At NBC-TV. those one • shots used to be called “spectaculars.” a word coined by President Pat Weaver. Weaver has since departed and so has the word. NBC-TV now calls them “specials.” Over at CBS-TV. they’re officially called “special shows.” Unofficialy, however, everyone at CBS calls them spectaculars. You figure it. ABC-TV has no problem at all It doesn’t call them anything. That’s because it doesn’t have any. That is. unless you stretch a point and count two spectacular special one-hour shows that Frank Sinatra will do in addition to his regular half-hour series on ABC-' TV. Something For Everyone Like smorgasbord, the NBCCBS spectacular - specials will contain something for everybody this season. The specs that’ll catch the most eyes should be NBC-TVs “Annie Get Your Gun” (Nov. 27) with Mary Martin and CBS-TVs “Aladdin” (no date! with a book by S. J. Perelman and a score by Cole Porter. .CBS-TVs first spec will be “Crescendo,” (Sept. 29) a 90-min-ute extravangaza that will offer everything but Asiatic flu. Lined up so far are: Ethel Merman, Rex Harrison. Peggy Lee, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Mahalla Jackson, Dinah Washington, Eddy Arnold and the Turk Murphy outfit. CBS-TV also has scheduled Mark Twin’s “The Prince and the Pauper” (Oct. 8) and a musical version of “Junior Miss” (no date). The network also will preempt Ed Sullivan on Oct 13 to offer “The First Edsel Show” with Ring Crosby, Frank Sinatra. Rosemary Clooney and Louis Armstrong. Along with these, CBS-TV also will beam out five other dramas and one musical (no properties selected yet), five one-hour Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz shows and a repeat of the movie, "Wizard of Oz.” NBC-TV wil carry the bulkiest •schedifle The “Hallmark Hall of FhmW dtrtes wil offer Maurice Evans "las Star of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” (Feb. 9) and “Dial M for Murder” (April 25'. Hallmatk also seems set on a TV version of “Green Past U r e s. There's also a chance it may repeat “Cradle Song.” Pinocchio In October NBC-TV has “Pinocchio” (Oct. IS) set with Mickey Rooney and Walter Slezak and “The Pied Piper of Hamlin” with Van Johnson and Kay Starr. Shirley Temple Will make her debut as hostesttahd'.aoiwetime star of 16 fairy tales that' wilt open on Jan. 12. NRT.TV has two anniversary musicals on the boards—Standard Oil (Oct 13) will celebrate its 75th and General Motors (Nov. 17) its 50th). Texaco is backing a special one-shot tribute to Ed Wynn (Sept. 18). ' • NBC-TV has five opera dates m the offing including a two part “Die Meistersinger” in the spring. It’s also blueprinting the Emmy and Oscar awards, three musicals from Las Vegas, conversations with such elder wise men as Pi-

The “Lost Battalion” of World War I fame was the First Battalion of the 308th Infantry and parts of the 306th and 30th Infantry Machine Gun Battalions of the 77th U. S. Division.

Cannedton. resigned July 22 and confessed taking about , $200,000, but the exact amount was | not known until the accounts board issued its audit late Tuesday. ( Chief Examiner Thomas Hindman said the size of the theft could be bigger still-if further checks by examiners into delinquent tax records show Kieser failed to record tax payments. .j "If he took anything else it was . from tax payments,” Hindman

said. The embezzlement was the largest in the history of the accounts board, Hindman s,aid. Kieser was arrested and released under $25,000 bond after he confessed taking county funds during a 17-month period by falsifying bank deposit records. The i shortage was uncovered when checks drawn on county bank deposits bounced because of Jack of funds. . The audit was certified to Atty.
