But when Johnson tried to balance Liberal Skelton by proposing McAllen's conservative Mrs. Lloyd Bentsen Jr. as national committeewoman, he overstepped. The resurgent liberals, pointing to Beryl Bentsen's past support of Shivers, rallied behind their own candidate, Mrs. R. D. Randolph, a spry, 62-year-old grandmother and banker's wife from Houston.

In the end French heads are rolling about the landscape like mothballs at a spring cleaning, while Errol proves, as always, a beryl in peril.

Gary sings a few songs, swaps a few wisecracks with Carpenter, has a few guest stars (on the first show: the spiritual-singing team of Jane Russell, Rhonda Fleming, Beryl Davis and Connie Haines). His untrained voice is small, but he has the familiar Crosby ease of delivery if not the master's resonance. In fact, Gary has just about everything except his father's sponsor (General Electric). CBS plans to keep the show running throughout the summer-sponsor or not-but it will then...
