Maybe not even two years ago. It's been gradual, this change, but here it is. NEW TV BREED Producers Are Also Top Writers HOLLYWOOD fAP) The road to success as a television producer, it would seem, is paved with typewriter keys. More than half of all the series in the new season will be produced by men who came from the ranks writers. Many of the 60 producer-writers still turn out nn occasional script for their own shots and all of them, as Hal Kanter of "Julia" puts it, leave their thumbprints all over the rest.

Among them are some of the highest paid men in television, who create one successful show after another and run them like plantation overseers. "I think television has reached a point where all producers have to be writers," said Cy Chermak, executive producer of "Ironside" and the "New Doctors" segment of "The Bold Ones." He said he has never hired a producer who was not a writer. Bruce Geller, creator and ex- Trickham Losing Its Post Office SANTA ANNA (BBC) John Gregg, Santa Anna postmaster, has received word from the regional post office department in Dallas that the Trickham rural branch will be closed on Saturday, Aug. 30 due to a lack of service. The Trickham office was fourth class until it was made.

The Increase is due to the teachers pay raise voted by the state legislature. Price of meals in the school lunchroom was raised five cents to 40 cents at the meeting of the school board. fUHNY BUSINESS eculive producer of "Mission: Impossible" and "Mannix." said, "The appetite for scripts, getting out 25 or 26 scripts, doesn't allow for the leisure of pulling in a script from here and there. They have to be written out of the homo office or rewritten out of the home office." Chermak and Geller are typical of this new breed of producer. Chermak, a one-time actor, is 39, handsome and trim, and man, which is what a producer called him has to be.

Geller Is 38, has dark him to fly curly hair and wears black horn-rimmed glasses and casual clothes. Above all. the producer must have the talent to recognize a good script. Said Chermak: "He also has to have the ability to take a script home on Friday night and brine it in on Monday morning completely rewritten." Norman Macdonncll, executive producer of "The Virginian" and, before that, "Gun- smoke," doesn't go along with the new trend. "I hesitate to say this because too many people will disagree," he said, "but I don't think the producer should write.

I think the producer's job is to find the best writer available." A writer is paid an average of for a half-hour dramatic script. A comedy script brings $3,500, because it's tougher to write, and an hour script brings about $4.500. 11 took a long time for the Writers Guild to get the prices up that high. Geller recalls that one year he did 10 scripts and collected $2,500 for the year's work. In addition, about 90 of the 2,000 members of the Guild write 80 per cent of all the scripts.

The most that a top writer of television scripts can make in a year is $60,000 to $70,000, On the other hand, a writer who clicks as the producer of a series he has created can reap a fabulous reward, Paul Henning, the most successful of all with "Beverly Hillbillies," "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres," is said to get $45,000 a week, Da- FOSSIL FUELS vid Dortort has become a multimillionaire with "Bonanza" and "High Chaparral." picture ends, she's had it.

They wanted to do a picture about it. It makes tenseness, a story like this, characters like these. But there's more tenseness in the company, because the original director (Don Mcdford) was replaced after 10 days.
