Commissioner here this morning on federal bank robbery charges in the $44,788 holdup of an eastside branch bank last Friday night. State police and FBI officials arrested Carr at his home, six blocks from the bank. Thursday night. Authorities said they had not recovered any of the stolen money. A lone shotgun-toting bandit busted a small window in the front door of the Rockville Central branch of the American Fletcher Bank & Trust Co. last Friday night and made off with $44,788. Police Thursday distributed an artist’s drawing of the suspect, dressed in a sport cap and short sports coat. Carr, married and the father of six children, is self-employed in the home remodeling business, police said.

HOLLYWOOD UPI — The television networks presented four prime time specials Wednesday, and miraculously none of them managed to be about the 25th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which drew this nation into World War H. Well, you know how it is—there's only so much room in a prime time schedule for
worthwhile stuff.
The evening's first special was a very flat 90-minute production of Noel Coward's "Blithe spirit” on NBC-TV’s "Hallwark Hall of Fame." I have suggested often enough that sophisticated gaiety is almost impossible to come by in American television productions. and this broadcast was a severe case in point. Heaven knows, the “Hallmark Hall of Fame" could use a good comedy now and then, but Wednesday night Producer-Director George Schaefer seemed out of
his element.
"Blithe Spirit” is a comedy in which a harried fellow finds himself in a truly eternal triangle—his dead first wife comes back to haunt him and

his irate second spouse. In Wednesday’s production, Dirk Bogarde played the husband, Rosemary Harris the coquettish spirit and Rachel Roberts the bossy, angry second wife. The husband essentially is a straight man in this play, but the incomparable Miss Harris did what she could to make things saucy—and that was
some help.
I think, however, the chief
problem was that the accom-
plished actress-authoress Ruth
Gordon was badly miscast—or misdirected—in the crucial role of Madame Arcati, on whom much of the tone of the play de-
pended. especially at the state. The result was that "Blithe
Spirit" emerged mundane, heavyhanded, a ghost of its former self, revealing how very | thin the play really is—and how i dependent it is on the entirely
right sparkling approach. Over at ABC-TV, also early
in the evening, another "Saga of Western Man" documentary was broadcast—this one a biblical retracting of the story of
tire nativity, “Christ is Bom."

It is never easy to make a m» : , And yet. it seems to me this critically needed in many industries today, including ours.

Changes like these (tan oe accomplished only by people. People are the key part of our enterprise Without innovative people, located in the right places, at the -ight time, the corporation is powerless to adapt itself to changing times. IVe had this thought in mind two year* ago when we made what I consider our greatest and most sigmfi- i cant recent change. At a time when i many companies were centralizing their management skills and authority in a single office, Lone Star began to decentralize. We call it ••regionalization." We sought out tile most dynamic, confident, innovative, but sound and experienced executives we could find both inside and outside our ranks, and put them in charge of five new regional centers. These regions are based in Nyack. New York; Richmond. Virginia: Dallas: Seattle: and Indlanspohs. The latter is headquarters for the Central Region, responsible for both our Indiana and Kansas Divisions, and. of course, we are very pleased to have Miles Porte, a Hoosier of long standing, as our Regional Vice Presi-
dent.
Miles and other regional heads have extensive authority over all operations ts their areas. We know that the Home
Oifice is not equipped to make the day-to-day decisions in the field and we made it a point tp find people who are qualified to do that job. W 7 hat I am saying is that innoi ation. the life blood of the corporation, need not be confined to the executive suite. In fact, it had better not be confined there. The success of a corporation depends on people—people i functioning where the job is- -and the job is here, where we produce and ! sell our products . Many of you are acquainted w:th Miles and all of you know George Messinger. the Greencastle Plant Manager. If you do not yet know Vernon Foster, our Regional Comptroller, and Bill Bland, our Division Sales Manager, I hope you will meet them soon. You win get a fine impression. I think, of the kind of men we seek out for tills new role, this concept of key men with authority for local innovation and decision. Only this kind of on-the-spot energy and action can keep our romi pans- young and on the move, and responsive to the needs of *he people
we serve.

Washout Causes Derailment LAFAYETTE UPI—The engine and two boxcars of a Monon Railroad train were derailed Thursday night as the result of a washout on a siding at the southwest edge of Lafayette.

The engine remained upright in the washout but the boxcars crashed down a 40-foot embankment No injuries were reported.
