Back to Vietnam

in January

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Labor Secretary-designate George P. Schultz says he will make a “careful study” of strikes by local government workers and teachers when he takes office in January. Schultz, selected Wednesday for the Nixon cabinet, said he generally opposed government intervention in labor-manage-ment disputes but not those involving public employes. “I deplore strikes by public employes,” Schultz told newsmen after a luncheon Friday with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, the man he will replace. “The problems of strikes and the processes of bargaining among public employes deserves careful study,” he said. Schultz is dean of the Chicago University Business School, a recognized expert in the field of industrial relations. His views differ sharply with both President Johnson and Wirtz, who both made personal efforts to negotiate major labor contract disputes. “You have to respect a people’s right to strike. You don’t have to like it but you have to be patient,” Schultz told newsmen who asked for his philosophy of labor relations. Asked about government intervention in strikes, he replied, “My own philosophy would be to go softly on it.” “It seems to me that the real experts on what’s good for labor and management are the labor and management groups involved,” he said. “And it’s up to them to work out effective solutions to the problems facing them.” Schultz also pledged to work for an end to racial discrimination in labor markets and to build on present manpower training programs for the poor.

Directing Doesn’t Lure Jack, the Old Pro

TV PROFILE

PONTIAC, Mich. (UPI)-“It’s a death sentence,” Leslie Lampi said after learning his son was headed back on the front lines in Vietnam despite a complaint his vision was impaired in a land mine explosion.

For two months, Lampi, 47, has been battling the Army to keep Spec. 4 William Lampi, 20, out of action. Friday, he learned that doctors at Camp Zama Hospital in Japan had certified the boy for full duty.

“He’s going back to the war to face trained killers that he won’t even be able to see right — and to my mind that’s as good as sending him to his execution,” said the elder Lampi from his home here. A winner of the bronze star, the younger Lampi has been wounded twice in the last eight months, the most recent time in October. He told his father during a long-distance call that doctors were ignoring his complaints that his vision was impaired and was not improving.

Getting nowhere with Pentagon officials, Lampi turned to Rep. Jack H. McDonald, RMich., who requested a detailed health report from the U.S. Surgeon General’s office. Friday, McDonald received the report that doctors felt Lampi was fit for action. “I’m afraid there’s nothing more that can be done for Bill now. The Army rules are impregnable,” McDonald said. Obviously bitter, the elder Lampi complained of the decision. “How can they tell what Bill’s vision is? All they have is his word for it out there in that hospital and they probably think he’s lying to get out of going back. “But that’s silly. He’s one of the bravest, toughest kids I’ve ever seen and they just gave him a medal that proves it.” Schultz to make study of strikes

By MIL HEIMER DOING a weekly TV series is. of course, as frustrating a chore as an actor can do; there's no time at all to portray a character in any kind of depth and all he can do is play it off the top of the deck. There was a period when this might have upset Jack Warden but now. in his sunny middle years, he just does the job professionally and goes home at night. "It's not too bad a life and the money is good and there's a certain amount of satisfaction in it.” the sandy-haired star of "N.Y.P.D." says, "and the big thing is. I recognize the director's problem. No matter what grandiose schemes he has for a segment, he just has no time to effect them. He has the real headache, not the actor.” Observing the dilemma has decided for Jack that he personally wants no part of directing, although he has done a bit of it in the past. Particularly in TV. where time is such a factor. “I once did a television play that I was dubious about, involving an older man’s love affair with an older woman." he says, “and after the first day’s shooting, I told the director he and I seemed to have different ideas that I wanted to take time to build up the character and relationship. 'So would I,’ he said tiredly, 'but I have to shoot 22 pages today. So where’s the time?’ ” * * * * A PITY, in a way. Warden, a one time Newark. N.J., boxer, tugboat deckhand and dancehall bouncer, has the intelligence and experience to make a perfect director, instead of some of the collar-ad types who have gone in for it. Acting has been in his blood since he damaged a leg doing a parachute jump in England during World War II. *T was with the 501st.” he says, “and when a squad of fighter planes came over near our base in England, we all had to bail out in a hurry, so we jumped from 300 feet. I really whacked up my leg. was shipped back to Halloran Hospital in Staten Island—-and spent a year there, reading everything in sight. Particularly plays. Drama fascinated me and when I got out of the hospital. I started acting.” * * • * WARDEN SAYS he really learned his trade with the celebrated Margot Jones repertory group and he’s still proud of some of the roles he did with it. Of his more familiar parts, he looks back tenderly on ”A View From the Bridge," "The Sound and the Fury,” and a couple of strong films, "Bachelor Party” and “Twelve Angry Men.” While his home is in Malibu, he and his family have lived in New' York for more than a year now. while making "N.Y.P.D.," in which he’s Det. Lt Mike Haines "It’s a tough series to make technically,” he notes, "but Mayor

mmfs mi—w—■ Warden got interested in drama during a year in bed with a leg fracture suffered in parachute leap.

Lindsey's full co-operation has made it easier. Acting-wise, with the marvelous New York background, it's comparatively easy. And we’ve had a ball. We’ve met so many great characters, including the Bowery bum who tried to take over the direction one day, patiently telling us ‘All right, now this is how this scene will play. At camera right,’ etc. I guess in palmier days ht might have done a little of it himself.” Jack knows New’ York backwards and forwards and he still loves it; he has no qualms, in spite of the educational problems in the city recently, in sending a young son to P.S. 6 in bigtown. "As long as he gets a good education," Warden qualifies. “I prefer not to expose him to the rather rarefied atmosphere of the privateschool thing but of course, the education comes first. I'm just sending him where I think he’ll make out best, knowledge-wise."

"N.Y.P.D." is his second big series; he spent a year with "The Wackiest Ship in the Army." He works 12 hours a day, five days a week, draws his paycheck and goes home Jack Warden. professional actor. There aren't too many of his kind around.

Grandpa Frost Helps Soviets To Be Merrv

By HENRY SHAPIRO MOSCOW (UPD—There is no God. no Christmas and no Santa Claus in this formally atheist country. But a Martian dropping down from the skies the day before Christmas in Moscow’ would find little superficial difference in the atmosphere between the Soviet and any western capital. The public buildings, shops and central thoroughfares are decorated with Christmas trees —only they are called yolka (fir tree). Santa Claus is there in all his glory—all wrapped up in red coat, fur cap, white bearded and high booted. But his name is Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost), a popular nonChristian figure from Slavic mythology. —Buckley moment he would wish such a war, but rather that, unlike Kennedy, Macmillan and Khrushchev, he seems unable to conceive imaginatively how horrible a nuclear holocaust would be.” If only Richard Nixon could understand these things as Khrushchev understands them! Nixon or Khrushchev, Is There a Difference? And on and on. At quite incontinent length. Mr. Schlesinger goes so far as to disdain Mr. Nixon’s predilection for tax incentives by arguing, in effect, that the incentives are a way to increase the national deficit. “Tax revenues transferred in advance to private business are just as clearly Government spending and increase budget deficit just as much as tax revenues directly received and used by the Government.” But, of course, Mr. Nixon’s point has been that the lightening of the tax load would have the effect of intensifying social effort. Poor Mr. Nixon. If only he would cease, forever and ever, trying to please these gentry. How he, and the country, would profit from it!

Grandfather Frost comes down from the Northpole riding a reindeer sled and is accompanied by his granddaughter Snegurochka <the Snow Maiden). He carries a bag full of gifts not only for good little boys and girls but for adults as well. To help him in his chores the department stores and specialized novelty shops carry

larger than usual stocks of goodies and people are encouraged to do their shopping early to avoid crowds. The trouble is that all these preparations, although made on or about Christmas time, are not intended to observe Christmas, which is non-exist-ent here legally, but to usher in and celebrate the New Year. 6 days later.

By VERNON SCOTT UI’I Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD < UPI)—Herb Edelman is the tall, bald, inept lunch counter operator in "The Good Guys” who is a tall, bald, competent cook around the house. A Brooklyn lad of 35 tender years, Edelman is one of the few members of his generation who handles Jewish humor on the air in a weekly series. The actor has a keen sense of humor of his own. describing his house at Malibu as halfway between a rinky-dinky beach shack and a plush beach home. Actually, the house is built over the Pacific. When the tide is in the breakers roll right under the floor, spending themselves on the pilings that support the structure. Edelman has been married four years to actress Louise Sorel. As is frequently the case with childless couples, the Edelmans have pets: two dogs named Elektra and Nigel Patrick Pudge, and a feline named Other Cat. The house consists of two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, two baths, and a dining room suspended in air over the ocean. Because the house has a few drafts and leaks, Edelman is quick to tell visitors, “We're at grips with the elements a lot.” It is a 30-minute drive from the beach to the CBS studio in the San Fernando valley where Edelman co-stars with Bob Denver in the situation comedy series. 9-7 Day His working hours are from 9 a m. to 7 p.m. If Louise is working in a movie and Herb is the first one home, he heads right for the kitchen to whip up an Italian dinner. If Louise isn't before the cameras she is in the kitchen cooking exotic Middle Eastern dishes. She's also creative with roasts, stuiled flank steaks and the like. Ask Edelman what he and his wife do on the weekends, and he will answer: "Atrophy.” In reality he enjoys painting and sculpting. Many of his paintings adorn the walls of the beacii house. Curiously, neither Herb nor Louise enjoy swimming in the surf. Both are easterners ac-

customed to smoother water and less rocky beaches. Some day Edelman hopes to buy a house further inland with room for a swimming pool. The couple has furnished the home with pieces collected in New York and left in storage there until they decided to make the break with Manhattan final. As new Californians they have taken quickly to casual living and dress. Herb enjoys skiing now and admits he’s "pretty good for a Brooklyn boy who was never on skis before.” They entertain from time to time on weekends when, after dinner, it is not uncommon for everyone to break into Greek peasant dancing. "We have a lot of Greek friends," Edelman explains blandly.

Another Columbus First: Cocoa Beans

NEW YORK 'UPD- Americans are a candy-loving people and their per capita consumption of sweets is among the world’s largest. Of a variety of confections, the products made of chocolate seem to be favored. The story of where chocolate comes from and how it is made into a confectionary is a fascinating one. Cacao (pronounced ca-cow) is the Spanish word usually accepted as the name for the chocolate tree and its beans— though the English version cocoa. is commonly used. Columbus first brought cocoa beans back to Spain from the New World, where chocolate was the royal drink of the Aztecs, and the Incas of Peru. A later Spanish explorer, Hernando Cortez, introduced chocolate as a hot beverage, sweetening it with cane sugar and vanilla. The drink soon became a favorite with the Spanish court and eventually spread, first to France, then to England and the rest of Europe. A oioneer in the introduction of chocolate into the United States was Domingo Ghirardelli. a merchant of Italian an-

cestry. who came to the New World and settled in Peru. Enticed by the Gold Rush of 1948. Ghirardelli went to Sar Francisco and set up a store tt supply gold miners with flour lard and biscuits. But he also put on sale a product he had found in ancient Lima—chocolate—and by the 1860s was selling it almost exclusively. Year by year, the Ghirardelli

business grew, and a series of red brick buildings near San Francisco Bay became its factory headquarters. Today, the original factory is gone, but visitors to San Francisco can delight in a miniature chocolate factory which has been installed on the premises, where the various steps of chocolatemaking may be seen and sampled.
