Arthur Godfrey was complaining that the newspapers had declared "open season" on him. Two weeks ago, he made the front pages when Liggett & Myers (Chesterfield) dropped its seven-year sponsorship of his radio & TV shows. Last week he was making headlines because of charges that he had endangered life, limb and property by buzzing the control tower at Teterboro (N.J.)

Backstage Battle. What had ruptured the seven-year association between Godfrey and Chesterfield? Arthur's great & good friend Walter Winchell rushed into print with an explanation: "Godfrey quit his ciggie sponsors. They didn't quit him. He didn't like the commercials."
