But Renison hopes to be able to persuade Jagan to set up a moderate government that can start easing the colony down the road to self-rule. Jagan claims that he is anxious to please.

The passing of Robert Montgomery Presents is lamentable not only in light of its past glories but because it reflects the sudden high casualty rate among" TV's live dramatic shows. Others canceled for next season: the Kaiser Aluminum Hour, Alcoa Hour, Goodyear Playhouse, Armstrong Circle Theater and Lux Video Theater. Among the reasons: the best of the TV-bred playwrights are spending more time working for Hollywood; sponsors have been trying to play it safe with "surefire" subjects and scripts. ¶ Arthur Godfrey...
