He ate from people's hands and did tricks for news photographers. Several zoos turned down offers to take the animal, so wildlife officials ordered him destroyed. ams 195!) Chevrolet, Radio ami Heater. 1951 Ford V-g, Heafer. 1950 Ford, 1946 Ford, H-Ton.

Phone TR4-3784 Radio Producer Hopes To Present Mental 'Colors' BY CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK producer named Dee Engelbnch has rosy hopes, that some purple prose and a rosier of talent which should make television green with envy will result in a red letter day for network radio.

If Engelbach succeeds, you'll not only hear a two-hour special program on CBS radio May 4 when "Radio Color Roundup" comes on the see it too. In the vivid eye of the mind, Watson, the imagination. Engelbach has assembled himself quite a roster of talent for the variety program: Ralph Belamy, Robert Preston, Judy Holliday, Andy Griffith, Eydie Gormc, Andy Williams, Herb Shriner, Edgar Bergen, the Ames Brothers, the Ray Charles Singers and a 40- piece orchestra conducted by David Rose. Color is the unifying theme with which Engelbach seeks to together this variety of entertainment. What does he mean? "Modern life," he says, "has produced a widespread and permanent interest in color for the ordinary American.

We think about pink automobiles, green refrigerators, pastel sinks, and some of us even remember the color of a sunset or a patch of daffodils "On 'Color Roundup" we hope to make listeners see, in their mind's eye, the colors of the things and places with which our broadcast is concerned. The script will be shot through with color imagery and the unifying theme will be the colors of the seasons." Recalling Wordsworth's line "My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky" Engelbach proposes to reverse the process: "The listener will behold a rainbow because we made his heart leap up." Auto Purchases Of Steel Limited NEW YORK, April Iron Age Magazine said today the auto industry has told steelmakers it will be buying only limited tonnages for the balance of the 1958 model year. The National Metalworkers Weekly said this means steel companies can expect little help from Detroit toward pulling out of the current slump before August or September when orders will be given for steel to be used in 1959 cars. The auto companies' stnnd blasted hopes that they might step up output (and steelbuying) in anticipation of a possible strike.

Pat Breslin Likes Dogs But Not In Television Show BY CHARLES DENTON HOLLYWOOD, April Breslin wants to make It clear at the outset that she iikes dogs. In fact, the Gaminish co-star of NBC's "People's Choice" television series takes a back seat to no one in her admiration of man's alleged best buddy. But on the other hand, she thinks dogs should be dogs, and thereby hangs a tale.

liniifinroils Colleagues Show people are painfully aware that animals and children are the most dangnrous of professional colleagues They will upstage you every time r.nd steal scenes with the case of a pickpocket at a county fair. In their natural slates, they will top the most experienced and wily human performers, but when a dumb animal starts getting chatty and histrionic, like Cleo, the bewildering Basset hound of "Peo- pls's Choice," "It's not really the dog's fault," sighs Pat. "She's such a dear animal really. I love her. "But when I roati the first script of the show, I thought Cleo was going to be a sort of commenta- know, making asides to he audience without actually into the story "So it's turned out that Jackie iooppr and I are the commentators ind Cleo she shook her head.

'There I go saying the wrong thing again." Shu Blames Humans Pat, who recently celebrated her 32nd birthday, hastened to inter- cct another accolade for animals general, dogs in particular and Cloo specifically. Humans, she said firmly, are the source of the trouble because they have forced Cleo out of her canine element and into the strange society of humans. "Really," she insisted, "1 have no objection to animals in a show, but I think they're so much more appealing when they're properly used." Not, entirely because of she is solidly against tackling another TV series if "People's hoice" isn't renewed for next season. Tha promised rewards haven't measured up to her expectations. "I turned the show down when I.

was first offered to me in New York," she explained. "I was doing live TV, and liked it. But then everyone told me about the steady ncome and all the money and se- "Now after three years where's ill the money I was supposed to lave? I certainly don't have It, About all I can say is that I'm out of debt and I own my car, so I suppose I shouldn't kick."

agency wants high school principals to consider banning Time and Life from classrooms "as long as they have an attitude and policy in- Imical to education." The National Assn. of Secondary School Principals made the recommendation to nearly 20,000 junior and senior high school principals after Life ran an article on education in its March 24 issue. Letter Circulated The next day, a letter sent out from NASSP headquarters in Washington said in part: "The only way to be effective in combatting a continuance of this type of irresponsible reporting is to write a letter of protest now" to Roy E. Larsen, president of Life. "We know from experience with another magazine a few years ago that your most effective weapon will be to question the continuation of subscriptions to the Life and Time publications in your school as long as they have an attiutude and policy inimical to education." The letter was signed by Paul E.

Elic.Xer, executive secretary, and George E. Shattuck, president. Ellcker told the Louisville Times that the letter was approved by the secondary school principals' board before it was mailed. TJntruths Claimed EHcker said the Life article contained untruths and that his association took exception to statistics which purported to prove that science, mathematics and foreign languages are neglected studies in U. S.

schools. Elicker said he did not question Life's right to hold opinions about public education. But, he continued, no magazine should be purchased by schools for classroom use if it is "untruthful and, in this instance, Life falls into that category." The general manager of Life, Robert T. Elson, told the Times that the magaine would not engage in any exchange of statements with EHcker or his organization. "Life obviously would not publish a story it did not consider to be true or in the best interests of the American community," Elson said.

He added that it is "the privilege of any American to boycott anything he wants to." Staid Portsmouth Is Startled By Blonde Bombshell By HAL COOPER LONDON (IP) A blonde bomb landed smack in the British fleet's power magazine, shivering the timbers of nautical old Portsmouth. The city fathers of Portsmouth decided that, while pictures of fine old sailing ships are mighty pretty, for a poster there is nothing like a dame. The dame In this case is a platinum-haired sprite in a polka dot bikini. She appears on new posters advertising the summer charms of Southsea, the Portsmouth ocean resort. Causes Uneasiness The generous portion of blonde ihereby exposed caused uneasiness in the City Portsmouth has been a.

royal navy base for seven centuries, some members said, and it would be more appropriate to have some- a little less' naughty and a lot more nautical. Councillor Bert Willson said the Dublicity committee should scuttle blonde in favor, say, a pic- of a full-rigged clipper. Councillor George Wallis, chairman of the committee, put in a vigorous dissent. "The main purpose of a pictorial loster is to make people look at it. My committee was unanimous that public would look at this pic- twice," he said.

"I cannot agree that a ship, even dressed over-ail, could possibly be more attractive than this charming but modest, bikini girl. Oomplaihflr 'Sunk' "As 1,000 have been printed and are being posted on railway sta- during the next few weeks, it too late In any case to withdraw poster."

Wright told the Star-Telegram ne had received no request for ,1 new Fort Worth post office nor had the House Public Works committee received such a request.

All I am trying fo do is get the Fort Worth post office air- conditioned, and I doubt if that gets done by summer," Wright said. Howard Lewis, a press officer for the Post Office Department said in Washington, when asked if the report is true: "That's what we said and that's what is meant. A new post office will be considered for Fort Worth if the 2-cent rate increase is approved." But he promised nothing.
