Bob Hope Assails Censorship Effort By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Payola and the disc jockey investigation j touched off a verbal battle today between comedian Bob Hope and the NBC network. Funnyman Hope accused the network of. censorship in trying to kill a sketch satirizing the current payola scandals. NBC denied the charge. Network official Hal Kemp said, “as usual Hope had too many plugs for other products on his show,, and we just asked him to cut them out. With all the payola thing going on, it didn’t seem like a. good idea to have him plugging other merchandise.” The network has increasingly attempted to divert any connection between its stars, presumably including Hope, and the wideI spread payola practices invading the broadcasting industry. Part Os Routine “Baloney,” Hope fired back from his Palm Springs home. “Those plugs were all part of the comedy routine in tho sketch.” The ski-nosed comedian told United Press International the controversial sketch—which may or may not be seen bn his Friday night show — was similar to the takeoff he did on Charles Van Doren and fixed quiz shows last month. “We had tremendius reaction to | that show,” Hope said. “NBC objects to the idea of curj rent humor.

This is nothing but censorship and I’m plenty burned up about it.” Starr Boys Assist Detroit Children ALBION, Mich. (UPI) — Some 160 youths at the Starr Commonwealth for Boys, in need of he’o themselves, will go without luncn Tuesday to help give needy Detroit children a better Christmas. It has been a tradition since 1914 at the Commonwealth for the boys to have a “fast day" just before Christmas 90 they can raise money to contribute to some ; charity. Although they are also trying to raise SIOO,OOO to majch SIOO,OOO donated by the Knights Templar for a new recreation building at the school, the boys voted to donate this year to the Detroit Goodfelows Old Newsboys Fund, which buys' gifts for needy children. The boys go without lunch so the money that would normally have been spent on the meal can be contributed to a charity- “ Uncle Floyd” Starr, who founded the Commonwealth for wayward boys, usually matches the amount saved by the fasting out of his own pocket. But he explained that he would make an exception this year because the money is needed so badly for construction of the new recreation building. He said the money raised by the boys would go to the old newsboys fund but his matching contribution would go to the recreation building fund this year. He estimated the contribution to the Old Newsboys’ Fund would be about $l5O. The "fast day” was begun about a year after Starr founded his home for homeless and wayward boys on a farm west of here.

Writes Santa Claus For Dad's Return KENDALLVILLE, Ind. (UPI) — An Albion boy wrote to Santa Claus Tuesday and asked him to bring back home for Christmas his daddy, who disappeared three months ago. Gary Austin, 11, pleaded for his father’s return in a letter to Santa sent through the Kendallville News-Sun. “My name is Gary Austin,” the lad wrote. “I have one brother and two sisters, 9 and 3. We would like to have our daddy back for Christmas. “He got pretty sick in September and he just left us,” Gary wrote. “W$ have tried hard to find him and say our prayers every night for God to take gare of daddy and bring him home. “I thought maybe you could find him for Christmas for us. His name is Donald Austin. “Thank you, Santa.” Albion Police Chief Justin Moors Jr. said Austin, about 34, left home Sept 11 for his job at Bomar Inc., Fort Wayne, and has not been seen or heard from since. Austin, his wife, Helen, and their four children had been living in Albidn since 1957 when they moved there from Fort Wayne. Authorities said the couple has relatives in California and asked that anyone knowing of Austin’s whereabouts notify Albion police. “Portland” cement is so named because of its resemblance to stone from the Isle of Portland in England. The United States has been divided into 250,000 districts for the 1960 census. They range in size from a single apartment building to hundreds of square miles, according to the National Geographic Magazine.
