To Probe Fori Wayne Jobless Situation Four-Man Team Is Appointed By State INDIANAPOLIS (IF — A fourman investigating team will go to Fort Wayne Monday to probe an unemployment situation which “has now reached serious proportions.” •’ State Labor Commissioner L. Derrell Weaver appointed the team to answer a labor union’s demand for a “sweeping investigation of the unemployment situation here.” A resolution adopted by Local 901 of the International Union of Electrical Workers at a mass meeting Jan. 26 said unemployment is increasing “without any end in sight and the unemployed are unable to properly feed, house and clothe their families.” “Unemployment in Fort Wayne has now reached serious proportions," the resolution said, “with thousands of workers in the electrical - manufacturing, rubber steel, auto, and other industries laid off and more than 100,000 workers unemployed in the state of Indiana.” The resolution called on Weaver and Governor Handley to investigate the situation and set up a corpmittee to contact Handley “with a demand that surplus foods be made available immediately to the unemployed and their families.” Weaver said the four-man team would investigate the situation in Allen county for “two or three days.”- — He said it was the first time he had received such a demand in his 13th months as labor commissioner. , y “I can’t tell what we can possible recommend until we get the full report and analyze it,” Weaver said. —_ _ - imiim Refund Check Too Costly To Cash NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. ilPl — Robert Colgfove received a refund from a New York state non-resi-dent tax account, but it’s not good for much other than framing. - The check, for 7 cents, would cost a 25-cent service charge if he acshed it in Canada. And if Colgrove took it across the border to the U.S. side, it would cost 50 cents in bridge tolls, plus gasoline costs.

Garry Moore Nears 2,000th Telecast Drop Morning Show ~ After This Season ’ B.V WILLIAM EWALD United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) — Garry Moose, an amiable gentleman who entered TV during its Stone Age, is approaching his 2000th telecast, a record that places him in a class with Methusalah, the Great Pyramid of Cheops and Satchel PaigeThe crew-cut Baltimorean will reach the 2000 mark on March 21. As nearly as I can recall, only “Kraft Theatre” and “Howdy Doody” have been around TV longer than Moore, but neither is involved in the Monday to Friday grind. Moore kicked off his CBSTV daily morning show back in June, 1950, and began emceeing CBS-TV’s "I’ve Got a Secret” in June, 1952, and as he said, inelegantly but succinctly, recently: “Folks, I’m pooped.” To Drop Show Because he is pooped, Moore has announced he Avill drop his morning show after this season. One report has it that the dumping may take place much earlier than anyone expects — perhaps as early as April 1. I can only say that I shall miss Moore, his bow tie and his show. Over its eight years, he has provided a welcome leaven in the flat and lumpy stretch of daytime TV,- a programming area that operates under the assumption that housewives are a curious combinatioh of consumer and idiot. It is a view Moore has never shared. “The so-called housewife is 50 per cent of the people who watch Edward R. Murrow, “Meet the Press" and nighttime television, ’ he has snapped. “So how come she gets so smart after 5 -p.m.” Moore’s faith in his fans has paid off In their own way, Garry Moore watchers are as responeiv as Elvis Presley buffs. On one show, Moore asked his viewers to send in nickels to a lady guest who lived in Mt, Pleasant, Mich. His fans replied with 200.000 of them. On another occasion, Moore’s fans swamped him with 100,000 pennies stuck to 100.000 postcards to help build a recreation center in Gas City, Ind. High Standard Maintained Moore’s morning Show maintains a pretty high standard of entertainment for its day in and day out haul. I suppose a good deal of the reason lies in the easy meshing of Moore's TV family which has developed into a kind of repertory company by now. Announcer-comic Durward Kirby and singers Denise Lor and Ken Carson have been around since the show started. So have most : of the people who put the show together. Another reason for the show’s -success lies in Moore’s iriteUF gence, taste and relaxed humor. The show never presses. Tri addition, it-might be pointed out that it has launched some pretty fair talent — Moore introduced such future stars as George Gobel, Jonathan Winters, Kaye Bqllard. Carol Burnett, Don Knotts, Phil Foster and Martha Davis arid j Spouse on his Showcase. Moore will remain on ‘T've Got a Sc-crft' and there's also a good i chance that he may return to ICBS-TV next fall in a new one- ; hour nighttime outing He ll be a ; welcome addition To the nighttime arena, but the housewives and ! myself will miss him sorely over jour second cup of coffee. The Channel swim: “Mr. MidJdleton,” a live situation comedy, 1 looks hot for a spring berth on ■ ABC-TV. Barbara Cook landed j the foie of Gretel in the NBC-TV 'spec. “Hansel and Gretel,” slotI ted for April 27.

Arthur Godfrey casually mentioned on his CBS show Tuesday that he collected a one-yea r roy'alty check of $95,000 for his recording of "Too Fat Polka”—and in a burst of honesty, he termed ' it a junky song. Mike Wallace goes to Hollywood for his Feb. 15 and 22 ABC-TV shows—Ben Hecht is in for the first date and Carol Channing is being wooed for the second.
