...Radio, dropped him after 26 weeks. Then he heard that CBS was offering Toast of the Town to prospective buyers-with or without Ed Sullivan. Ed's salvation came from Detroit, where the Ford Motor Co. grabbed the show. Mercury General Sales Manager Joe Bayne, an old radio veteran who had worked with Major Bowes in the heyday of his Amateur Hour, says: "It took us less than 20 minutes to decide on Ed Sullivan. It was crystal clear. Ed was a second Major Bowes. Bowes used tc muff the English language. Ed does too. But the thing about...
...Fourth Game found Casey Stengel still saving his veteran pitchers while Alston was forced to work his best. They were more than good enough. Carl Erskine lasted only three innings, but Don Bessent and Clem Labine teamed up behind him to hold the Yankees off. Snider, Campanella and Hodges all homered, and Snider was superb in the field.

...game with Penn State at West Point's Michie Stadium had hardly started last week when Blaik's blues were drowned out by the clear sound of victory.

Jack Bailey also decided that the only way to fight money is with money and this week will plunk down a $100,000 jackpot to outbid Question's $64,000. The gimmick: College Student Pat Morris, 19, after being hypnotized and told that she cannot leave her chair, will get the opportunity of picking up $100,000 from a table across the stage...
Insulted Ego. A vigorous opposition to the new trend comes from Veteran TV Producer Fred Coe, who guided the Television Playhouse through its earliest, most realistic days. Coe, who last month produced Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth on NBC, thinks TV is becoming the sick man of the arts: "I don't know why the American people should give Ed Sullivan 65% of the audience against Helen Hayes, Mary Martin and The Skin of Our Teeth. I'm puzzled...
