Some Notes On The
$64,000 Question
NEW YORK 'IP Random notes
on “The $64,000 Question” after
watching it on-the-spot.
The convertible, a pale blue Job,
that’s wheeled on stage during the
show isn’t the same one that's giv
en to contestants as a consolation
prize. It’s a number that has been
specially rubbed in the camera eye.
The sponsor says it costs S9OO
along each week to move the con
vertible in and out, pay the various
union crews that must handle it,
wash and polish it and drain it of
all gas and gas fumes. The fira
department checks the last proc
ess. The chauffeur who sits behind
the wheel of the car actually isn’t
driving it at all-the convertible
is pushed on stage by four brawny
crewmen who remain out of cam
era range.
LONG WAITING RANGE
The studio from which "the $64.-
000 Question” originates sears
about 850 persons At the present
time, there’s about a one-month’s
wait for the 'ducat. It ranks fifth
in demand at CBS-TV - After Ar

Gleason and Herb Shriner.
Close friends and relatives of
contestants are placed in center
row seats downstairs so the cam
era can zero in while contestants
are deliberating. The contestants
themselves are seated in front,
downstairs at the beginning of the
program when they’re on cam

Before the studio audience files
in, March and a couple of produc
tion assistants do a screwball spoof
of the show in the dry run before
the cameras. Sample question:
‘Who the manager of the Milan
Opera House?” Answer: “Bartolo

Perhaps the strangest part about
the show is that the man who
cooked it up, Louis Cowan, never
sticks around to watch it in the
studio Like 50 million other Amer
icans, Cowan sweats it. out before
a TV set at home.

IS DECISION NEAR? —Duty called Princess Margaret from her
romance with RAF Group Capt. Peter Townsend to a state dinner
with the Queen and the heads of the Church of England. The din
ner for the Royal family gives the outspoken Archbishop of Can
terbury an opportunity to deliver his verdict on whether tha
Church will use all of its power to block a wedding between the
Princess and the divorced commoner. Above, Margaret is shown
with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, during
an official visit to Canterbury in 1950. _
Duke Os Windsor
Might Have Answer
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written for United Press
LONDON OPI lf Princess Mar
garet’s Uncle David, better known
as the Duke of Windsor, were to
write to his niece regarding her
present situation—what would be
his advice?
I can’t help toying with the idea.
Uncle David is the only qualified
member of the royal family whose
advice would not be theoretical,
since he has a measuring stick of
experience to judge the joys of
living like “other people.”
It is not at all unlikely that such
a letter would contain great wis
dom, gathered during 19 years of
living as a former king among the
commoners.
Would he tall Margaret that tne
privileges of loyalty are not as
great as the .freedom of the aver
age man? Or would he. say this
life of the average man is a rugged
road and if, if not born to it, one
can find oneself a displaced per
son? Might he say that all diffi
culties can be compensated by
great love?
I wonder if he would tell her
that, if he had it all to do again.
Ire would make the same decision?
On the other hand, he might say
that if the group captain and ths
princess set aside their love fjr
the laws of the church and the
good of the crown, it might have
a ‘better chanae to endure. This
way it would probably go down In
history as a. great love story.
He might write Margaret that
she is too young to realise that
the one who has the least to sac:i
iice has a gi-eater responsibility.
In the case of Peter Townsend,
who is not only a man but one of
some years, think how he could

prove his love, his character and
integrity by insisting that this
young princess should not make
these great sacrifices for him.
Because of that old cliche “time
will tell,” as it has an unrelenting
way of doing, Uncle David might
remind Margaret that should the
marriage turn out to be an un
happy one, there could be no di
vorce, nor playing the role of tne
‘innocent party.”
While I am speculating, I might
as well go the whole hog and
wonder what “Wally” of Windsor
would be able to offer Townsend
in the way of good advice. For ex
ample, how to make the person who
has sacrificed for love happy.
