The Lloyds of London insurance alone covering the proposed journey makes the entire project ridiculous. If the Jimmy Stewarts (she's the former Gloria Hatrick McLean, a non-professional) follow through on the suggested Mr. and Mrs. TV show, they will favor a thirty-minute program once a week in place of three fifteen-minute programs weekly now under consideration by several CBS Television city execs in Hollywood.
