...hour cascade of money and talent will flow into the cameras. For a change, TV fans will not have to flick dials from one show to another-the big parade of singers, dancers and actors has been programed without any overlapping: ¶ NBC and Rexall Drug Co. will try spreading some elfin cheer (6:30 to 7:30 p.m., E.D.T.) with a $325,000 "free treatment" of Pinocchio, with Walter Slezak, Fran Allison, Jerry Colonna, Stubby Kaye, Savoyard Martyn Green, and as the wooden hero, Mickey Rooney, 35. Says Scriptwriter Yasha Frank: "It's corny, but corn...
...numbered panels weighing 110 tons, the bas-relief lay face down last week in back of Nivola's summer home at East Hampton, N.Y. Seven huge platform trucks will soon transport it to Hartford, Conn., where it will be fitted to the steel frame of Mutual Insurance Co. of Hartford's new office building. In place, the bas-relief will serve as a 110-ft.-long wall over the building's main entrance. It is an abstraction with overtones of cubism -an endless procession of angular, cloudy, faceless figures that seem to shift, melt and glide...
...company that does succeed in providing prompt and efficient service, the rewards are well worth the effort. Starting in 1903, Detroit Edison Co. began giving customers free light bulbs, largely as a publicity stunt, soon went on to free electric cords and fuses. Last year the company sent 275 repairmen on 160,000 fuse calls, 138,000 stove-service assignments, 456,000 other appliance missions, charging nothing for labor and only for parts totaling more than $1. The company knows that nothing cuts electricity sales faster than a dead light bulb, a dead dishwasher, a dead freezer. And though...
...less than appliance men, Detroit's automakers are fully aware of the repair problem. A Ford Motor Co. poll showed that 94% of all car buyers will return to the same dealer if they get good service, only 21% if service is bad. When Ford set up its new Edsel division, it realized that it would be hard to sell cars without expert service. Ford set up a complete garage where $1,000,000 worth of prototype cars were torn down and rebuilt to lick all servicing problems before the first Edsel was sold. Says Edsel Service Manager Harold...
...TOUGH POLICY of ICC is starting to trip up accident-prone trucking lines. After threatening to ban six other truckers (TIME, Sept. 16), commission ordered one-year probation for Kansas City's big Riss & Co., whose 500-plus interstate trucks from 1951 to 1953 "were involved in 1,200 accidents resulting in shocking total of 51 deaths and 501 injuries." ICC's ultimatum: Riss must drastically improve safety record or be barred from highways...
