Doesn’t want to mix personalities with
politics... Appearing on Edward R.
Murrow’s “See It Now” this week - Gen.
Eisenhower was asked why he has said he would not engage in personalities in
his campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination: “First of all, I believe
nothing is gained by dealing n personalities. Moreover, when you deal in
personalities, you create hurt feelings and they are very difficult ever to heal. In a
way, it is an inforgivable thing, if it is not necessary, in order to show the
difference between, let’s say, doctrine or principle. Moreover personally, I have
been the target of many kinds of personal attacks and, finally, I think they create
a feeling in me - that wasn’t a very big man that made them. That’s the way I feel
Week of June 26, 1952

Hjalmar Schacht
, the financial wizard who helped

the purpose of selling nude and indecent pictures
represented to have been posed by Marilyn Monroe.”
The pretty actress examined some of the prosecution
evidence including handwritten letters supposedly
written and signed by her. One of them read in part - “A
short time ago, two friends of mine and myself got
together and took some pictures in almost every pose
imaginable ... I feel that these pictures ... are worth more
than the price I have found ordinary pictures are selling
for.” The actress said he true name is Norma Jean
Dougherty and that she took her professional name
when she was signed by the studio in 1946.
20th Century-Fox proposes a double feature of movies and color television in its
theaters as a way to lure fans out of their living rooms and back to the box office.
The television portion would feature Broadway hit plays, sports events and
special productions. The system would use a new system of color television
known as the Eldophor (Greek for image bearer). The system, developed by
Swiss scientists, uses the field of sequential color wheel developed by the
Columbia Broadcasting System for its version
of domestic color-TV. The studio says the
production of the Eldophor projection machines
is under way and should be available for use in
about 18 months.
