SCISSORS AND PASTE
U. H. Security Sessions Are Hot TV Attraction
("Associated Press”)
A group of middle-aged men who don't sing, dance or tell jokes has been the hottest attraction in American show business for the past month.
They are the 11 members of the United Nations' Security Council with Russia's Jacob A. Malik and American Delegate Warren Austin playing the star roles whose television appearances have made history. U. N. officials estimated their daily video audience, on meeting days, at about 30 million.
Response to the programs is described by public relations experts as "fantastic". TheColurabia Broadcasting System says there has been "greater public interest than in anything except national elections. "
CBS said it has had no complaints because it cancelled ball games and other popular programs to make way for the series.
On the other hand, a spokesman said, if the Council is late meet¬ ing, the sifitchboard is jammed with calls of viewers demanding their favorite show.
Every session of the Security Council since the Korean crisis started, except the first one on the Sunday afternoon, June 25, when the invasion began, has been televised. The programs are carried by 66 stations of both CBS and the National Broadcasting Co.
They are filmed for later telecast by stations in the West which do not have a direct hookup with New York by coaxial cable.
Capehart Expenditures; Claimed They Were For Party Generally
(Drew Pearson)
Some years ago the UnitedStates Senate refused to seat Senator Frank L. Smith of Illinois because he spent $100,000 in a hot primary campaign. But now, in the neighboring State of Indiana, GOP Senator Homer Capehart has spent the staggering sum of $91,961*84 in his primary campaign, even though he had no opponent. Capehart 's senatorial salary for six years is $75,000, to obtain which he has already spent $91*961.84.
It will now be interesting to watch how much the "music box Senator" will spend on his general election, in which he faces a terrific battle from dynamic Democrat Alex Campbell.
The chances are that the money will continue to roll in from his wealthy backers. For Capehart had such an easy time rais¬ ing money that he collected $99,679.35, or $7,717-51 more than he spent. His chief bank-rollers were the Lilly pharmaceutical people of Indianapolis, who fattened the kitty by about $20,000.
Some of Capehart* s campaign expenditures are equally inter¬ esting. Though he had no primary opponent, he reported to the Indiana Secretary of State that he spent almost $40,000 in salaries for campaign workers. Also, $6,268.89 for radio and newspaper ad¬ vertising, $2,000 for recordings and $74 for "flowers".
