Happenings
In Hollywood
By WALTER BURRELL
THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
If you've wondered about the
scarcity of dark faces on the
"Andy Griffith Show," you're
not alone. The NAACP brought
the fact to ..the attention of
CBS last year and the problem
was aired in calm and intelli
gent tones at that time. But
not until recently has anything
tangible been done about it.
In a most cordial interview
with the show's star, Andy
Griffith, I gained an insight
into the problems and attitudes
of the actors and executives as
sociated with the popular show
—and how they've wrestled
with the tricky problems of
race.
"I don't think I've ever made
a statement on this subejct be
fore," admitted Andy. "I'll
have to be very honoest and I
hope you'll quote me that way.
The problem we face is simple:
we have to remain honest to
the types of people depicted in
the small, rural town of May
berry (the fictional locale of
the story), North Carolina.
"In a series like 'Dr. Kil
dare', for instance, you can
have any number of Negro doc
tors. It's logical; it's a big hos
pital in a big city. But put a
Negro doctor in a town like
Mayberry and the people most
probably wouldn't go to him.
"A story like ours, which is
set in a small Southern town,
just naturally leaves itself open
for problems—especially when
the Show is a comedy. We
wanted to do a story centered
around a Jewish family, but it
just didn't work because it
turned out to be drama; it
wasn't funny at all.
"We're not trying to avoid
anything. It's just that the
show has to remain honest. If
we stretch the point just to ac
commodate certain groups, then
things could easily become ri
diculous.
It goes without saying that
all of us on the show would
like it just fine if we could
put people of all races on the
show regularly"
In recent months Andy, his
fellow oast members and the
show's producers have kept
their heads together constant
ly in an effort to come up with
an honest script involving a
Negro. Story ideas were dis
cussed in detail and then dis-
'frh'aTTy 'fhey fit
upon the right idea.
A segment titled "Opie's
Piano Lesson," which complet
ed production only a week be
fore this interview, is centered
around Flip Conroy (played by
Rockney Tarkington), a Negro
and former end for the New
York Giants who has returned
to Mayberry to help his father
with his business and agrees to
help the kids form a team.
According to the script, Opie
(Andy's teenage son on the
show) is torn between spending
his afternoons practicing the
piano or playing on the coach's
football team. Like any good
father, Andy tells the young
ster he can't do both if he
plans to do either one well.
When Tarkington finds out
about Opie's problem he visits
the boy and his father, tells

Catalogues and reference
books are essential for most
hobbies and stamp collect
ing is no exception.
"No person could ever carry
in his head all there is to know
about stamps, even generally
speaking," points out Ervin J.
Felix, stamp editor at Whit
man Publishing Company,
Kacine, Wis.
First of all, you need a stand
ard postage stamp catalogue,
which lists and describes every
stamp ever issued, by paper,
color of printing, perforation,
varieties and errors. Stamps
also are priced to a point of
valuation, in used and unused
conditions.
More detailed information is
provided by the Stanley Gib
bons Catalogues of England,
published in three volumes.
The next requirement is a
stamp handbook or guidebook.
While catalogues furnish sta
tistical information, guidebooks
cover the entire subject in lay
man's language, and tell you
how to improve your collection.
Eventually, you'll probably
branch into specialized fields
of interest, continues Felix,
whose firm produces a colorful
new line of stamp collecting
materials and supplies. Special
ized works might deal with a
single stamp; a nation; or a
political subdivision which
brought about certain issues:

time right he can pursue many
interests, then site down to

"With a show like this," says
Griffith, "we csn remain hon
est and yet make a point I
think Negroes want to *m
made once in a while: that here
is s man who's not only the
white man's equal, but in many
Ms better I think this dhow is
going to be very well re
ceived.
"There's no reason," Andy
concluded, "why we can't con
tinue to work Negroes into our
story lines and keep It real
istic. That's certainly our hon
est Intention."

Plans War
On Measles
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.
President Johnson announced
Monday that common measles
can be wiped out as a threat to
the nation's children and the
goal is to do it by the end of
1967.
Vaccinations by the millions
will be the weapon.
The government's goal of end
ing the scourge of common or
rubeola measles by the close of
the year was established in a
memorandum to the president
from his secretary of health,
education and welfare, John W.
Gardner. Nothing was said
about German measles. A more
severe ""disease and one for
which no widely used vaccina
tion technique has been devel
oped.
"The extensive collaboration
national, state, and local,
public and private which is
taking place throughout the
United States," the memo said,
"assures success in our drive to
eliminate measles as a threat to
America's children."
While measles often is thought
of as being a mild disease,
Garnder said, it can be accom
panied by such serious compli
cations as pneumonia, deafness,
sleeping sickness, mental retar
dation, and even death.

In Secret
WASHINGTON - The
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee held a three-hour secret
inquiry Monday into Central
Intelligence Agency subsidies of
the National Student Associa
tion.
Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D-
Ark., then told newsmen "it's
none of your business" what
went on.
There were two witnesses,
both former officers of the stu
dent association, and they were
questioned separately.
The committee's independent
inquiry ran counter to the stand
of Senate majority leader Mike
Mansfield, D-Mont, who said
again Monday that he sees no
need for a special investigation
of the controversial subsidies.
Michael Wood, formerly in
charge .of student association
fund-raising programs, testified
first. He then was dismissed
while former NSA President
Philip Sherburne was ques
tioned.
