Jones becomes reality today as Houston dedicates a $6.7 million fine arts theater that has a unique 110-ton ceiling that can be raised and lowered electronically. Some 700 construction workers and their wives will be in the audience as city, civic and arts leaders open the Jesse II.

The hall is a gift to the city from Houston Endowment 1 the philanthropic foundation established by Jones, a Houston financier.

The grand opening of the multi-purpose hall will be Monday night with Sir John Barbirolli conducting the Houston Symphony. BEVERLY HILLS Nobody knows the troubles warehouse magnate Daniel H. Over-mycr may have In launching a fourth national television net-work by April 3 next year. Nevertheless, that is he tarry-eyed goal he is going for with gusto. He said here this week that he is prepari'il to put $10 million on the barrelhead now and follow through with $4 million a month in production costs.

In an entertainment business where one sponsor. Ford, pays million for the network use of one three-hour film, "The Bridge on the River Kwai," that Is a rather piddling sum. But Overmyer's $10 million down and four to go monthly is the most new network money that has been offered up for sacrifice since Dumont folded and ABC-TV became a third network force. Overmyer hopes to create a fourth force with the Overmyer Network (ON). Everybody is cheering for him except everybody connected with NBC, CBS and ABC.

Jones Hall replaces a 50 year old city auditorium and is the first structure to be completed in a $40 million civic center that will include convention and ex-hibit halls and another theater The curving exterior of Jones Hall is covered with Italian marble and is surrounded by a rectangle of 70-f columns that support a roof overhang that extends to the street curbs.

A computer tunes the hall acoustically by raising or lowering the individual hexagons.

Answer: It depends on where you live.

At this writing 75 stations have indicated they will string along with ON, but none in Sacramento, for instance. Los Angeles viewers can see the shows via powerful KHJ-TV, Channel 9. The proposed San Francisco outlet, KEMO-TV, Channel 20, isn't activated yet. It will be on a UHF (ultra high frequency) band to which San Francisco viewers are not accustomed. The programming backbone of the ON network (details were printed here last July) will consist of two hours of early evening news provided by United Press International, which has never produced extensive television news programming, and two hours of late night programming from Las Vegas where regular network programming has never been produced.

It obviously will take a bit of scratching to lift these ventures off the ground and into the air. The original plan, announced last July, was to launch ON in September, 1967, giving the new company ample time to get accustomed to its pace. Then, abruptly, blast-off date was advanced to April 3, 1967, for the news and Las Vegas portions of the programming. By no accident whatsoever, the new date coincided exactly with the date ABC announced for the premiere of Joey Bishop's new late-night series. Both shows would be in direct nighttime conflict with Johnny Carson, and in some areas with Merv Griffin.

The sudden ON decision seemed to imply: "If we let Joey beat us to the cameras, we're dead. We must start our Vegas show on April 3, ready or not." fm our own cellors."

Jack Jones Lee. Bob Newhart. 2 Doctors' News Conference: "Alcoholism Can We Do About It?" What ANOTHER NOVEL SITUATION here is that the William Morris Agency will assume responsibility for the backing of ON's acts from Vegas. The whole Vegas project was a William Morris idea, and yet William Morris also represents Joey Bishop. The agency will be in competition with itself on two networks.

A novel situation. Also, earlier reports that ON had selected Bob Newhart, Alan King and Bob Crane as rotating Ve-gss emcees didn't hold water under questioning. Overmyer told me: "We have a fellow named New-hart and Treyz interrupted and said, "We haven't signed them. Say that we are seeking emcees of the caliber of Alan King, Bob Crane and Bob New-hart." Oh. Overmyer said he had options on 2f0 movies "all foreign stuff, a little bit raw, we'll have to cut them I haven't seen them, frankly." Meanwhile, refined or raw, an option is not a purchase.

I hope ON gets on the air as scheduled but I'm not making book until April 4. Nobody knows the troubles Overmyer may have. wool boucle coat lavished with a band Swiss Ensemble To Open Series At S.F.

By JOE T. BOVF.S The Sinclair family of Scotland descend from the St.

Clair family through Sir Harry St. Clair, the constable of Scotland in the 12th eentury. The Sinclair spelling of the name seems to have started with his son William as an offshoot about the time of Robert the Bruce. Sir William accompanied Sir James Douglas in his attempt to take the heart of Bruce to the Holy-land. They didn't make it.

Through marriage the family acquired the Earldom of Orkney in 1379 and the Earldom of Caithness in 1455. After a long succession of feuds in which they lost their titles and estates, they finally got I "Mes for durable nji $30,000 A YEAR POTENTIAL A WONDERFUL BUSINESS for MAN or WOMAN A IUCRATIVI I PRESTIGE ENTERPRISE OP YOUR OWN.
