When the people aren't buiy killing ech other off on the freeways they wttch TV to get their murder and mayhem wholesale.

Los Angeles hat seven television atatlons, and the cry has gone up that they show too much violence. A serious-mlndexi group called the National Association for Better Radio ana Television kept tab on programs of the seven stations for one week and listed 223 outright murders. They also counted 60 justifiable homicides, two suicides, 192 attempted murders, 83 robberies, 13 kid-napings, 24 conspiracies to commit murder, 21 jail-breaks, seven attempted lynching, iur dynamitings, 11 extortions, two cases anon and two torture cates. Otherwise, for Los'Angeles, It was a quiet week. Fight to the Finish Jack Benny: was talking to my doctor and he wanted to know why I do a snow in Las Vegas ajttr being on TV all year.

He $aid it COULDN'T be the money. Now there's a man who'sa brilliant siCrgson, but take the rubber cloves and he's an Idiot." There's an awful lot of bickering going on in the industry. Milton Borle has been fighting with Louis Prima and Keely Smith and now the deal to have them appear on Berle'a new comedy TV show this fall is off. Wendell Corey has been fighting with Ziv TV Productions and filming of his "Harbor Command" series has stopped. They won't make a second year of "Harbor Command," although several sponsors would like to buy it Clint Walker is still fighting with Warner Brothers, go the company is resuming filming of "Cheyenne" with a new discovery, Ty Hardin, cast as "Bronco Wayne." This way it won't matter if Clint come back to the series or not, and he says he won't unless he gets a better financial deal.

The Season Ahead A contestant on Groucho Marx's show said he was angostura bitters. "That must make a pretty strong drink," said Groucho. "I'll try it the next time I have one or the road." Gossip In the trade: Virginia Mayo, a movie queen who's never been on TV, is filming a "Wagon Train" episode for this fall. "Wagon Train" did the Seth Adams story last season, a flashback of the train's wagonmaster. Next season they'll do the Flint McCul-lough story to show the background of the train's scout as Robert Horton, who plays the role, figures McCullough would have lived it.

Chrysler has signed to sponsor two hour-long specials on NBC next season starring Fred Astaire. One of the few hopeful trends for fall TV is the increased number of special shows.

Solo quit Fremont High School during World War II and, at 10, went to work for radio station KRE as an an nouncer, among the youngest in the nation. In his spare time he earned a first class radio engineering license. applied for a license for his own station after he dis covered, he says, that automa tion (the use of stereo tapes and other devices) made it possible to operate a radio sta tion at much less coat than in the past There were headaches, however. Solo personally erected a 50-foot transmitting tower In 10-foot, 80-pourd sections at his home, "just about the worst thing I've ever done," and had the telephone company install special high- fidelity lines to his home, a job costing some $3,000. Then the Oakland City Planning Com mission decided that Solo would be violating a zoning ordi nance.

That difficulty has worked out for the best. For he found that a drayage company had erected a 90-foot steel tower and had built a small trans mitter building at 5800 Grizzly Peak near the Contra Costa County line, atop a 1,500 foot peak. KAFE's transmitter is now in that building. Solo is attempting to have the new station start its reg ular broadcast schedule by Juiy 13. STANSAKD WllvHT LINOLEUM TILE II.
