He got pretty unbearable. Finally, somebody on the show called the zoo and asked what you do about chimps who got to thinking they were superior to everyone. The zoo man said somebody hna to belt him but hard. Garroway couldn't wait. He cuffed him roundly at the first opportunity.

J. Frank crawled under a chair at the. meeting; eventually he came out and cllmbeds penitently I Garroway's torma, accepting defeat and Gar- roway'a mastery.

As a matter of fact, he has got a couple sponsors, but they don't bother him unduly find he operates more or less under the theory that not many people are listening anyhow. The result is one of the most amusing, challenging and genuinely, intelligent programs on the after- midnight air. FRANKLY, MY note-taldng hand a after 11:30 p.m. so my recollections of Morgan may be a little hazy.

(I get a little hazy after 11:30, too.) It has always baffled me how anyone can talk for three hours. Morgan, of course, doesn't' really talk all that time. Ho Interviews people. He talks on the telephone and sometimes listens on the telephone for long periods. He occasionally insults the customers at the restaurant from which the broadcast emanates.

But the talk Is frankly good talk which is to say It sounds like the sort of thing you and I would say to one another over a couple of drinks. Somehow you never hear this sort of thing except after midnight on radio. The pre-mldnlght talk is scrubbed up and, as it were, emasculated. Morgan, for instance, started a feud with taxi- drivers by saying they were getting Increasingly foul of dfspo- sltlon and hopelessly garrulous. Well, that happens to be a'souhd- observation.

you can't say anything deleterious about cab drivers any more than yon can about motherhood. Except after midnight. Television, like radio, seeks the noricontroverstai; the ob- jactive Is to be as innocuous as possible. But after 12, conceivably because the executives go to bed, the conversation opens up not only on Morgan's' program, but on everyone else's. These programs are getting more and more popular.

It's just possible there is a great hunger among the citizenry for observations which cut into someone, even cab drivers. remains terribly unsponsored Is Ernie Kovacs. Kovacs is not CBS's answer to ''Milton Berle; he might more properly be called CBS's surrender to Berle, sort of a declaration of no competition; Having no sponsor, Kovacs invents his own. The last commercial he did that I saw was for a concoction he called "Choco- chocolate-covered spinach." It was as vile a lookin'g concoction as anything I've ever laid eyes on, but'Kovacs ran his hands through the awful stuff looking for the free prize that goes with every package. It took quite a while, but he finally found it.

"Look at these dandy brass knuckles, kids," he declared jovially. "There'll be no more of that 'Go to bed, son' stuff after you get your brass knuckles. See your father cower In the corner. Comes in handy at children's parties when the host refuses to serve ice cream after 12 p. m.

Handy vial of poison in each knuckle." 1053 for the Citizen SPiiDWAY TV Open Evenings and Sundays With complete TV servicing --Invites You fo Select Your TV Entertainment from ADMIRAL EMERSON SYLVANJA TELESOUND WESTINGHOUSE 3110 K. 0-1437 2faftuifl Satin- fflUfzfti 2 Evtnlnc, March 165J JOAN CRAWFORD On television, "Rain" Ancient Films Almost Gone For Television HOLLYWOOD Cherish those old movies on television, for within a year TV will have need them up and there might not be any more, a movies-for-TV distributors said today. Antique films on TV have been needled by many a comedian's gag, such as Bob Hope's' line, "Television--that's where old movies go when they die." But the Motion Pictures for Television, the largest distributor of feature films to video, reports the supply "is coming to an end." "IN ABOUT A YEAU the backlog will hav erun out," sighed Dave Wolper, head of the company's Hollywood office. Many a viewer herpes that when the movie studios switch to three- dimension films they'll sell their "flats" to TV, and the armchair fan will be elevated from the '30s and early '40s to the '50s. But Wolper Insisted there's not a chance.

"The major studios will not release any films to TV because a good picture, no matter how old or how flat, on television Is competition to their pictures playing in the "he said. "They don't want people to stay home. And the studios malce more money selling pictures to theatres than theyMicould selling them to television. THK HALF DOZEN film distributors in Hollywood prowl the market for movies made by independent producers, who don't care if TV buys their pictures after a theatet run. When an dependent company goes bankrupt and has to sell its films, Wolper and his cohorts close In for the kill.

Wolper proudly says his company actually has one movie made in 1951, an "English film. "Just because a move's old doesn't mean it's not good, anyway," he said. "We have the 1833 version of 'Rain' with Joan Crawford and it's great." THANKS TO OIJJ movies on TV, some- of the "new" stars in the entertainment world are George ArWss, CHve Brook and Cassidy. Ex-Actor Frankie Darrow currently Is celebrity at the bar he tends, thanks to the exhumation his- old films. Theater feature movies work out fine on TV except for a few minor difficulties.
