If you're an employe on a salary, as a writer is, you make nothing. It's taxable salary: you're killed financially. But you have to live on the level of the star because he wants you to fraternize with his friends." nobody knew When you get out and do something on your For Vietnam News Specials 22-C The Arizona Republic Phoenix, Sunday, Feb. 13, 1966 cameras had to be moved out- side. That hearing was mostly about money.

and the words are real, that is, but the questions are not the original questions and the tape splicing has been superb. It is a convulsively funny record, and only two brilliantly nutty men could have made it. "We're not planning a sequel to this record," said Alen. "We have a deal for three more records, but they will be different. After all anything's better than television writing." And here we come to the crux of it again, as so often with TV writers.

Earle Doud said, very seriously for once, own "THERE ARE too many businessmen in television, and not enough showmen," said Earle. "I'll tell you what's wrong with TV. You can't create anything. If you want to write anything good you can't do it for TV. You can't write anything, anywhere, on a day-to-day basis that's really good.

A movie takes a year, a show takes two years. You just can't do it, grinding it out every day. TV is an advertising medium." "And more than that," Alen 3038 N. 24th St. DAY NITE SUNDAYS mm whit.

lmgrfihColOT Hew Much Do Charqt TV CALLS TV Times Service NEW YORK Whjj do good writers leave television, and heaven knows they do; and where do they go then? Some say they leave for financial reasons; some say for creative frustration; some few get a great idea in some other medium. In the case of Earle Doud and Alen Robin, it's a combination of all three. Doud and Robin are a way-out pair. Robin was Johnny Carson's chief writer for six years. Before that he wrote for Ernie Kovacs, Steve Allen and Fred Allen.

Earle Doud wrote for Johnny Carson, Jack Parr, Jonathan Winters, Bob and Ray, Jackie Gleason and "Father Knows but most important, he is the bearded genius who created the top selling album about the Kennedys, "The First Family." THEY HAVE now left television with a roar and a triumph and are the creators of a new album, "Welcome to the LBJ which features the actual taped voices of the interviewees: wight Eisenhower, Robert Kennedy, LBJ, Lady Bird Johnson, Nelson Rockefeller, Richard Nixon, Everett Dirksen and By LAWRENCE LAURENT Washington Post Service WASHINGTON Complaints outnumber congratulatory calls each time that a major 1 i i network breaks into its regular schedule to cover a major congressional hearing. Those hooked on the daily diet of soap operas, games and chatter shows are usually not the kind of viewers who want to listen to reason. THIS HAS come up a a i last week when both CBS-TV and NBC-TV broke into highly profitable daytime schedules to concentrate on testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Asked about the number of complaints, a spokesman for the CBS affiliate in Washing-ton answered, quickly, A male, who identified himself as a night worker and daytime television fan, refused to listen to the importance of hearings on the war in Vietnam. "I don't feel like going to work," he groused, "until I've seen Art Linkletter interview those kids." Apparently, the more complex the subject matter of a congressional hearing, the greater the number of complaints.

Few complained, for example, when all three net-works concentrated on the testimony of Robert G. (Bobby) Baker, even though most of the coverage provided only audio coverage with a picture of the door to the room. Baker's attorney, you'll recall, ob-j to TV coverage and "Lots." He guessed "200 to 300 a day." Word at the a-tion affiliated with NBC was that "calls are dribbling in" "a moderate number of complaints and "some people call to say thanks." Some people complain directly to the television editor of the newspaper. "Don't worry about missing an episode of 'Search for I tried to console one distraught woman. "The story will pick up at the same place theday the hearings are over." THE WOMAN'S response was immediate and slightly shrill: "I don't care about the Senate.

I want to know what has happened to Vanessa Sterling. I want to know today." MEHAGIAN'S Phoenix Mesa Come in NOW during our BIG NOR WERE there complaints registered over TV coverage of the bizarre Cosa Nostra crime testimony of Joe Valachi. Earlier, there was almost unanimous approval of the long-running TV sessions that came to be known as "the Army-McCarthy hearings." Of course, those sessions had the element of conflict with overtones of a soap opera. Best remembered of all TV coverage and probably the most effective in creating a new national personality was the i of confrontations that the late Sen. Estes Ke-f a (D-Tenn.) had with gamblers and mobsters.

Of course, in 1951, there wasn't much else to watch. THE LESSON seems obvious that TV addicts do not complain about losing regular fare if the replacement concerns wrong-doing or wrongdoers. Complex subjects, which may affect the world's peace, draw the complaints. It would be silly to suppose that the presence of TV cameras doesn't affect the behavior of both senators and witnesses. Yet, in honest gratitude for TV at important sessions, one can't blame an impersonal television camera the behavior of persons on which it is focused.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) A key scene in Ross Hunter's production of "The Pad (and How to Use it)" calls for actor Brian Bedford to accidentally spill orange juice on actress Julie Sommers. Although it sounds like a simple shot, it took 18 takes to get it right.

Some four and a half quarts of orange juice were finally spilled on Julie. As the actress was bemoaning the stickiness of her hair and wardrobe, propman Solly Martino commented: "What are you squawking for? I had to squeeze all that juice by hand."
