Philadelphia TV’s Week: Chief victims at hearings of the Senate subcommittee investigat¬ ing violence on TV turned out to be old movies—movies given a seal of approval by the motion picture indus¬ try. Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson (R., N. J.) questioned witnesses on the ad¬ visability of setting up a “czar” to pass on TV programming. Also recommend¬ ed: a TV commission appointed by the President of the United States. Feeling at the hearings was that the present TV code to which stations subscribe is “ineffective.” Lots of full-length Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies are on the way now that the Supreme Court has ruled Republic Pictures may sell its old films to television. Don’t be surprised if Debbie Rey¬ nolds shows up on an Eddie Fisher show soon now that their wedding is scheduled for next June. Ralph Edwards’ researchers will be doubly careful since This Is Your Life was such an important part of the Stringfellow hoax—the congressman’s false claim that he was an OSS hero. Edwards’ excuse for being taken in: “By the time we decided to do it the story had been printed and reprinted so many times it was unimpeachable.” Cutest congratulatory wire received by Channel 6’s Bob Horn on the sec¬ ond anniversary of his Bandstand show was that sent by Perry Como, who told Bob he hoped to have the opportunity of cutting Bob’s hair in the near future.
