Crippled Jay Flippen Emotes From Wheelchair Successfully By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-Television Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) -The loss of a leg might spell doom to the career of an actor, particularly one like Jay C. Flippen who specialized in playing rugged, hard-bitten characters. Yet Flippen has' returned to action in a television Western, "The Virginian," just a year after his rght leg was amputated becausv of gangrene. The 65-year-old actor is not yet able to walk on his own for a role, but the makers of "The Virginian" found a period wheelchair for him to emote from.

Those who watched the filming report that Flippen comes on as strong as ever. i "I think it went very well," he said afterward'. "It was a good tough part of a rancher who has two sons, one a do-gooder anc the other a no-gooder. They ha( me play the role with a blanke' over my legs, so nothing was made of the missing leg." Born in Little Rock, Flippen first exercised his wry, raspy comedic style in minstre' shows, then in vaudeville. He was a popular emcee-comedian in the heyday of radio and starred in Broadway musicals like "Artists and Models" anc "The Second Little Show." Later he shifted his career to Hollywood and became one pi the character actors in films.

His most roles were'as a Western sheriff or the tpugh-as-nails top sergeant of a fighting outfit. Whfle playing in "Cat Ballou" a year and a half ago, Flippen noticed a sore on his leg. He tried home remedies, but the sore wouldn't go away. Infection spread, -and the leg became gangrenous. Flippen was hospitalized for 10 weeks in constant pain.

Finally his doctors told him: "Lose the leg or become a vegetable." Flippen discussed the matter with his wife, screen writer Ruth Brooks Flippen. They decided he had no choice but to submit to amputation. "I've" been working at the Area Radio Stations PETERSBURG WSSV--1240 A.M. (Mutual) From 6 a. m.

20 May 20): Pencil-Pad TV Series Continues By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Television-Radio Writer NEW YORK (AP) NBC had us watching television with pencil and pad again Monday night, time testing ourselves on quickness of our eyes and ears. We were asked, in more than 60 questions, to pick the larger of two disguished circles, to judge the speed of several mov- ng vehicles, to describe characters in a riot scene and to report as witnesses of a staged chase scene. The program underlined the 'act that many personal factors emotion, surprise, background, training and prejudices among them are likely to distort and color our observation. The quiz, however did have one unusual aspect: the correct answer to at least one question was "1 don't know." But enough is enough. In the past year I have tested my driving, my knowledge of diseases, my citizenship, my honesty and now my eyes.

Next month CBS wants me to test my of income tax regulations. And then, I hope, the networks will give this particular format a rest for awhile. Perry Como's guest stars Judy Garland and Bill Cosby picked up the usual lazy pace his monthly variety show agreeably Monday night. There was a tongue-in-cheek bit of spy nonsense by Cosby running vaguely all through th show. Miss Garland's numbers were gay and off-hand.

Cosby', monologue was amusing. Th hour, -which sometimes moves very slowly, zipped by. "To Tell the Truth," CBS long-playing Monday evening game show, is expected to go to late Sunday afternoon to replace "Mr. Ed." "Gilligan's Island' will probably lead the Monday night series next season. A comedy series starring Jean Arthur is the probable show to replace "Hazel." NBC's Fall schedule is expected to contain 10 new series.

CBS will probably have eight, plus another two hours of old movies. Altogether, that represents at least 35 new shows--a larger turn-over than usual.
