ENQUIRER NEWS SECTION Sunday, June 29, 1958 KENTUCKY NEWS. Houses Out Of Reach WASHINGTON, June 28 (P) The National Housing Conference said today fewer than 30 per cent of American families can afford to buy and maintain a new house at today's prices. It made this estimate on the basis of a survey of 29 cities and on the assumption that a family should not spend more than one-fifth of its income for housing. The conference is a private group which has plugged for Federal public housing programs since 1931. Its survey showed that the range in minimum prices for new three-bedroom houses was from $8295 in Phoenix, and $8990 in a New York City suburb to $15,000 in Rochester, N.

Y. It said the lowest possible income for carrying a new house ranged from $4864 in Norfolk, to $9564 in Erie, Pa.

CO 1-4940 Waterfield Enters Race, Pledges 'Utmost Efforts' BY KYLE VANCE FRANKFORT, June 28 (P). Lt. Gov. Harry Lee Waterfield formally entered the gubernatorial derby today and pledged himself to the "goals of our present programs of state government." Waterfield, an unannounced candidate for the Democratic nomination since election to his present position, in 1955, said he would pursue his own independent course.

He said he was naturally pleased that Governor Chandier is for him, just as he was glad "to have the assurances of other fine Kentuckians that I will have their support." He prefaced the Chandler reference with this statement: "No single man or group of men has motivated my decision to run. I am grateful for the response from citizens of the state to my statement of inten-1 tions to announce." FORMAL announcements were made earlier by W. Wyatt Louisville T. Wilson, Combs of Prestonburg, each as an anti-administration candida date. Waterfield said his intention was to deal with essentials.

"As my opponents and their forces the campaign engage in personal mudslinging," he added, "I ask yorr tolerance, for we as Kentuckians have more important decisions to make about our future." Declaring that "state government is bigger than personalities," he continued: "My opponents, and the forces behind them, choose to devote their full energies to bickering and intrigues for personal and factional achievement. Of this, will have no part." He said his own campaign will be based on the truth, "devoid of nearsighted and will not be factional. "The citizens will decide the best program and the best candidate to achieve in a climate of opinion directed toward hopes and ambitions of all Kentuckians, not just toward the particular ambitions of particular men," he said. "As far as I. am concerned, this campaign will not be based on personalities or biased emotionalism.

The people have the final say as to which man's character, experience and sincerity of purpose suit them best." WATERFIELD said he believes sincerely the state is poised at the crossroads of political decision. "We can develop our resources and devote our energies to continuation of improved standards in education, health, agriculture, highways climate. and a better business For this I ask the opportunity of leadership. "More is at stake than testthe prevailing political winds. Public trust is nothing less than moral character plus the competency to go ahead.

There can be no neutrality on whether Kentucky will make the most of its finest hour. "I believe in the goals of our present programs of state government. They must be expanded. Your expressions and your actions indicate that these also are the objectives sought by the majority of Kentuckians. "My fervent prayer is that I may merit your active support and good will for program I will propose in the course of of my campaign.

I will be responsive always to your call HARRY LEE WATERFIELD Larry Smith people the world and all!

Little People's World and his friends: Strange little creatures of a puppeteer, "Purple People Eaters" Strange Television His day-to-day companions inculde "Purple People Eater," a scholarly mouse named Teaser, a rooster named Rudy and a mean old witch named Hattie. Larry is the puppeteer for WCPO's morning television shows for children. His cloth and clay creations in fantasyland situations cavort, rival Walt Disney's. And judging from Larry's fan mail, a vast army of Cincinnati children are caught up in the situations he creates. Right now, for instance, there's a tense one going on Harry's first morning show, "Willie Wonderful from 8 to 9 a.

m. Rudy and Teaser have got to rescue Hattie the Witch's cat from the Land Behind the Moon, where she (the cat) was dispatched in a space rocket. Some 60 letters a day are pouring in. The childish scrawls are full of suggestions on how to achieve this difficult engineering feat. Most of the mail contains illustrative drawings, and some rather harsh suggestions aimed at removing the troublesome Hattie for good.

One child wants Teaser and Rudy, the show's heroes, to pour a bottle of liquid detergent on both Hattie and the cat. The detergent's sponsors boast it removes annoying spots. Another suggests that Hattie be doused with purple paint, which point the mouse and rooster could call in the Purple People Eater to gobble her up. The mail is usually addresssed to the puppets themselves, and shows the young writers give serious thought to the fantasies. They allude familiarly to a score of other puppets and marionettes that have pranced across the screen since Larry joined the station last September.

They inquire about characters like Grubby the World Puppeteer: Groundhog, who sells underground real estate to the other puppet-animals during the winter season. Larry's television day is just getting a good start with the close of the Willie Wonderful show at 9 a. m. He and his puppets move then to the stage of the "Uncle Al Lewis Show," where they work until 10 a. m.

Larry also serves as Mr. Scarecrow there, pantomiming song. From 11 a. m. to noon, he and the puppets are part of the "Al and Wanda Lewis Show," where Larry dons another costume and stomps about the stage as Roger the Robot while march music plays.

When the camera day ends at noon, Larry usually spends several hours working up new situations for the puppets, many of them inspired by the letters and the children who visit the shows. Larry gets as animated as any of the toddler audience when discussing problems of his Fantasy Forest. "There are always new. ideas to work with and new puppets make," he says, pointing to cluttered worktable in a small trailer parked beside the TV station. If he makes many more, he'll have to find a new home for them.

His puppet family now numbers more than 100, many of them born during the three years he worked in puppetry for WHIO-TV in his home town, Dayton, Ohio, before coming here. Some of the puppets date from when Larry was just six years old. "That was when I first got interested in puppets," Larry says. "I made my first marionettes then, using popsicle sticks for the controls. I hauled them around the neighborhood in a wagon, giving shows wherever there was a crowd of kids." Area Vets Winners At VFW Convention LEXINGTON, June 28 (P)- The free world's greatest catastrophe would be for the United States to stop H-bomb experiments, the state encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars was told tonight.

Cooper T. Holt of Chattanooga, former national VEW commander in chief, added that Russia talks peace "is arming to the teeth" land developing devastating nuclear weapons. "When Russia is ready to prove by deeds, not words, that she wants peace," he said, "then and only then should we agree to stopping H-bomb tests, or to any sort of disarmament program." Delegates rejected a resolution calling for severing diplomatic relations with Russia and stopping foreign-aid The resolution was submitted by Lexington's Hugh McKee Post.

WRONG BANK A headline in yesterday's Kentucky edition of The Enquirer erroneously connected the Bank of Dayton with an article reporting that Mrs. Katherine Schneider was awarded a third of the family estate in a ruling concluding her suit in U.

S. District Court, Covington, to recover $215,000 in securities, cash and jewelry. The bank of Dayton was not a party to the suit. The State Bank of Dayton was implicated by Mrs. Schneider but cleared in Judge MacSwinford's ruling.
