Under the rules of the program, young Wright was "rescued" by 14-year-old David Lee Otborne of Columbus, Ohio. And last Saturday night, Wright got another shot at the $100.000.

But what happened? After he had answered five parts of a six-part question, he stumbled on the last query concerning a popular song of the 1920s. IT WAS discovered the song the producer bad asked about had been written in 1930. so Wright will be back on the program this Saturday night for another chance at the $100,000 jackpot. This time he will be asked one question on the section dealing with songs of the 1920s. From this corner It would seem to be a terrible strain on even a bright youth to have to face the nation once more after weeks of cramming and uncertainty.
