4 3-4 THE RECORD. TUESDAY, JULY 18. 1972 Actor guild pushes for fewer reruns DOONESBURY IF YOU WANT REALLY LOW 'TAR' AND REALLY FULL FLAVORMEN LUCKY TEN IS REALLY FOR YOU. 7-7 jv err 1 k7 -4 A nv A decade ago most television series ran 37 episodes a year. Today they've been cut to 21 segments or fewer.

The slack is taken up by preemptions: specials, news events, political debates, and the like. Reruns begin earlier. Inexpensive taped shows come on as replacements in the spring instead of summer. Networks say they cannot profit on a series until it goes into reruns. High residual payments to actors would reduce the profits.

Almost every actor denies the claim. They say network profits continue to soar while unemployment lines for performers get longer. A tougher stance Gavin and his new council are getting tougher Gavin says: "Our primary goals at the next negotiations will be an effective limitation on number of reruns permitted in prime time. Either that, or 100 per cent of the original salary every time an actor's performance is repeated on TV. "As reruns have gone up, so has unemployment.

The performer is not only competing against oiher actors, he's competing against himself. "A few years ago the networks were going full blast. It's not just the actors suffering, it's the public who is seeing reruns as early as January. "Now the networks are talking about as few as 11 episodes in a series. The producers are also being squeezed by the networks for fewer segments." There is the case of one famous actor who earned $40,000 to $50,000 a year by appearing in seven or eight dramatic guest shots per season.

That same actor whose name and face are familiar to anyone ONLY flu By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent There is an economic crisis among actors throughout the United States and a posse of performers has been formed to ride hopefully to the rescue. John Gavin, president of the Screen Actors Guild, has created an advisory council headed by Raymond Burr to find solutions to the growing trend in television to cut the number of episodes in series among other things. The council includes Charlton Heston, Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda. Richard Jaeckel, Ricardo Montalban, Agnes Moorehead, Clint Eastwood, Gregory Peck, Robert Stack, Burt Lancaster, Woody Strode, Lloyd i and Craig Stevens. "The purpose of the council," said Gavin, "is to assist in lobbying in government and in representation of guild programs to the news media and the public." Cut-down season The crux of the beef is that has pared Us season in half.

That means half as much work for actors. i 1 10 RIGTAfi: 08 mj. mcoims, jv. per by FTC meitiad. 14? A BIKOUC 4 who watches the tube is fortunate if he works three guest shots a year.

Moreover, his asking price has dropped to $3,000 per show. "Even maximum rerun residuals are only a fraction of his original salary," Gavin said. "Producers need the reruns to 'break even. This is necessary to a degree, but the networks are making more profits than ever. "We hope the advisory council will help us on rectifying IServlnc All Nerth JerseyMB FREE ESTIMATES on your ROOFING SIDING r.uUeri.

Low-fare Night Coach flys straight thru-only $82, including tax. By RICK DU BROW United Press Internaiional HOLLYWOOD A maverick organization called Action for Children's Television continues to dig its spurs into commercial video, and the results should be welcomed by anyone fed up with home screen programs for youngsters. Possibly you have noticed, or heard about, the success of the organization in its suggestions for the preschool television show "Romper Room." After ACT commissioned a study of the show, and negotiated with the program's top executives, these major changes came about: Brand name toys are not used in the content part of the program; that is, in the regular presentation of material for the youngsters. The teacher-hostess has stopped doing commercials or selling during the program. Says ACT: "These changes, which ACT welcomes, culminate four years of negotiations with the show's producers.

and its owners. "Last year ACT commissioned a study of five days of a typical 'Romper Room' program in Bangor, Maine, where sthe program was involved with commercialism including the juice drunk by children on the show. "In meetings, major changes were promised, and ACT'S follovvup monitoring in 10 cities across the country proves that these promises have been kept.
