CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a noteworthy attempt to revive in American radio dramas like Inner Sanctum (1941-1952) and Suspense (1942-1962). Radio dramas were widely considered "dead" 12 years prior to this series. CBS Radio Mystery Theater, or simply Mystery Theater, was created by Inner Sanctum creator Himan Brown and ran on CBS from 1974-1982. The show, much like older radio dramas, was introduced by a host (E.G. Marshall in this program), who steers us through the creaking door to start the episode. Many voices from the golden age of radio were featured, including Richard Widmark, Bret Morrison, Agnes Moorehead and many more.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Come in.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall, come to lead you safely.
I hope through another encounter with the sinister happenings in
which we specialize, we become involved in circumstances not dealt
with in the nice, conforming normal world we're used to.
We run a foul of things not considered quite natural
(00:40):
in our workaday world, and we may find them just
a little frightening. Are you up to it? Heart? Sound
nerves steady? Well? Then? Our mystery drama m U R
d R. Was written especially for the Mystery Theater by
Field and Farrington and stars Larry Haynes and Ralph Bell.
(01:05):
It is sponsored in part by anhuzer Bush Incorporated brewers
of Budweiser and true Value hardware stores. I'll be back
shortly with that one.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
It only takes one glass.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Those who knows this beer, Budweiser is the king of beers,
the crisp roma of the choicest comps and that famous
snappy Budweiser taste. But only the most careful brewing process
and exclusive beechwood aging can deliver and deliver it does
a smoothness, a drinkability, and cold golden enjoyment. You'll find
(01:37):
in no other beer at any price. And I suppose
headwarters Saint Louis, Missouri. In the usual course of things,
the future is mercifully hidden from us. I say mercifully
(01:58):
because few, and indeed are those among us who have
only joyous elements in their futures, and who wants premature
knowledge of the troubles at lie ahead. Oh, people go
looking for it. That's true enough. Fortune tellers make a living,
tables tap and weed. Your boards are brought out on
quiet evenings at home. But in the main, the future
(02:20):
keeps its secrets pretty well hidden. When it fails to
do so well, the results are unpredictable.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Do you want to taste this, Helen, and say if
it needs more wine or anything?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Sure, I'm glad you told me you're having beefbourgignon. I'm
not sure anything else would have got Max out of
the house tonight. Isn't he feeling well? I've been worried
about Max, Gwen. I'll come he's there. I don't know.
He just seems withdraw and he doesn't laugh anymore. He
doesn't enter into things to tell you the truth, Helen.
(02:52):
That's the reason Kyle suggested this little dinner party. Well,
I hope it helps. I've really been concerned. Well, we
all know that Max. He's been having business worries. He's
been having business worries ever since I've known him. But
he's never acted like this before. I mean, it's like
it's been like living with a stranger. If I didn't
think he'd blow up in my face, I'd suggest to
(03:14):
see a psychiatrist.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You're not ready for another things? My teeny's Kyle. Well,
I have a feeling of the girls that then they
went out's dinner before long. So I'll take my drink
to the table with me. Surebax, I'm not going to
drive myself from my teenie Kyle. And that's what's worrying you. No,
that's not what's worrying me, Bax. I know what is it? Well,
I think we've got the shoe on the wrong foot. Share.
That's what I was about to ask you. What's troubling me?
(03:42):
My partner kills himself, My business is in a total mess,
And you ask me what's trouble with me?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It is already.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'll be right with you. You want your drink, bas
I'll take it in with me.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yes, when there's nothing in all this world quite like
your beef aga off. Isn't it great?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Max? Ah? Yes, un, let's just very good. You ought
to try eating some of it things? Oh, I said
it was good? Didn't I? Bake's sake? What do you
all want for me?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Helen? Uh? Did Gwen tell you about her Wiji board
or what? Well? Tell it?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Guly, I went to this garage sale over on Ridgwood
Avenue and I bought a Wiji board. That's all.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's all. There's been time for nothing else since she
came home with a thing every evening. And it takes
two of us to who's a Wiji boy?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Do you really believe in that?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Not really? Not serious?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, it uses bad language sometimes and it can get
very personal.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You keep talking about what it does. Surely it doesn't
do anything, not on its own. I mean you have
to push it, don't you.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well Gwen swears she doesn't push the thing, and I
know I don't, not consciously.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
At least I'll show you after dinner, Helen. Do you
want to work it with me?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
For sure?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Fine?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
That don't get Max and me a chance for a
little private talk. What do you have to talk privately
about Max.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Don't be rude.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You're all trying to help, huh. Invite poor old Max
out to dinner, Good old Kyle and Gwen to the rescue.
Who asked for it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You can't blame us for trying. Max.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sure isn't getting us anyway. That's my fault. I suppose,
sure my fault. You don't know the troubles I've got
none a year. You don't know, not even me, Max, No,
not even you. I would just say if I told
you that my partner's been stealing me blind, eh, Tom
Tom Guarth stealing me blind and I caught him at it.
That's why he blew his brains out. Well, that's hard
(05:35):
to believe, of Tom Garth. Tom was into the firm
for almost one hundred thousand dollars. Are you calling me
a lion?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Was it calling you a lie? Max?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Please don't be like that.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
All right? All right? I couldn't believe it either until
I'd gone over the books, not even then, not even
when I've seen it in black and white. But it's true.
It's been going on for over a year, almost one
hundred thousand dollars. No awful lot of money, too much
for picketing. God, I'll tell you that we're not big
enough to drop one hundred thousand dollars and go on.
So if nothing had happened, Max, if there's anything I
(06:07):
can do, I can handle it, all right. There's no
way I can get the money back. His wife doesn't
have it. He left more practically penniless. Penniless. Ah well,
I guess he has enough to live on, but not
enough to account for that one hundred thousand store. It's
a mess, all right, then why do we have to
keep on and on about it? I'm sick to death
(06:29):
of the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Max.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
While the girls are still busy out in the kitchen,
I well, I can't swing at myself. I don't have
that kind of money lying around, but I have connections
over it. First national, you know. And if you need
an a loan to get you back on your feet,
I'm sure. Ah No, I wouldn't help. Might buy me
a little time maybe, but in the long run, wouldn't
solve my problem.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, we're going to play with twins, WHICHI board.
I'll playing with the wicha boy. Hell, you work with it, okay,
play work whatever you want to try it. I'll get
it out, Kyle, if you make some rooms so I
can set it up on the coffee table.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Sure, and don't get Helen huked on the thing. When
that's all I need a wei you boyd telling me
to relax and take it easy.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
All right, now pull up the footstool, Helen.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Oh okay, that's what Kyle.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Always uses because we have to sit on opposite side
of the table. All right, missie. We start with a
planchette here in the middle. Planed shit, that's what they
call this little table thing that moves around on the board,
this thing. Oh all right, okay, all right, now rest
your fingertips very lightly on the top of the plant
shed lightly. Sometimes the planchett even moves under your fingers.
(07:40):
Sure it does. That's the wrong attitude. Come on, sit
quietly and think about the planchet moving. Concentrate on it.
It doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Have to be patient.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is there a message for anyone? It's moving ish? M
you are.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
D e R murdered?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Lord, it's said, what about murder? It's going again? M
you r d e R. Well, what is it you
want to tell us about murder?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Somebody's pushing the damn thing.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I'm not pushing a shsh m.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
You are, d e are?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, how about another rubber? I don't think so, Kyle.
I have been getting too much sleep. I'd like to
get to bed earlier to night. Besides, we're losing.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh come on, it isn't even eleven o'clock. We really
ought to go, Gwinn.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
We'd have been better off staying with Luigia board.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Too spooky for me. Well, you have to admit it works, though,
don't you. Helly, it's got a one track mind and
it's morbid. M r d e er Now what kind
of talk is that?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Gruesome? Come on, Helen, let's go listen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Maybe you two can come over to our place next week,
give us a chance to get our money back.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I've got a very pretty busy next week, Helen. I
don't know whether I'll have a free evening or not.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, we will play it by air, Gwenn, it was
a lovely dinner. Thank you very much. Well, thank you'll
see you next week or whatever?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, so long?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But you like a cup of coffee or something, Kyl No, I.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Don't think so, Gwyn. It wasn't a very successful evening,
was it?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
What's the matter with him anyway? Helen's right, he's like
a stranger.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, you can understand Tom's death upsetting him, especially since
Tom had been in bezzling the firm's funds.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's really hard to believe of Tom Garth, isn't it?
Ledi Boyd seemed to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Upset Max oh Ean yelling murder set me to You know, Darling,
I'm gonna break that thing up for kindling Wood.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You didn't seem to enjoy the evening much, Max.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I didn't enjoy it any I thought you we shouldn't
have done well.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We're just trying to help.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I wish everybody would stop trying to help. I constraighten
things out of everybody and just let me alone.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Are you going right to bed?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't know if they have a nightcap. You go
on up if you want to.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Max. I know you won't like this, but you've been
drinking an awful lot lately.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I mean it didn't like you. Nothing you do lately
is like you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
He's out to get me?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What are you talking about? Who's out to get you?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Kyle Labbott?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What Max, Kyle Abbott is your best friend?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That Tom Goth's dead? You mean he was my friend,
wasn't he? He stole one hundred thousand dollars from me?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well, Kyle hasn't stolen anything from you, has he?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
He put her up to it, all right, I.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Don't know what you're talking about. Half the time.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I'm talking about Gwen Abbott and a stupid wiga board.
You push those things around you, No, they don't just
go by themselves.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Still, don't see what that hapen?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Murder? That's all she made it say murder, murder, murder.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
If she was pushing it, why would she make it
say murder?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Because Kyle told her too? That's why?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Why on earth would he tell her to do a
thing like that?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Because he thinks I killed tom Goth? Should a wija
board be taken seriously? Those who do, and there are
more of them than you might think. These believers will
tell you that the wija board is a means of
(11:56):
communication with the dead. Myself, I am a professional fence
sitter in these matters. I study the evidence and try
to keep an open mind. There'll be more evidence to
study when I returned shortly with that two buy a
Buick Opal anytime, and you get a sensational little car,
one that's comfortable funder drive. They'l Byasuzu equip with things
(12:19):
like a four cylinder overhead cam hemi engine, a short
throw four speed manual transmission, plus reclining bucket seats, tinted
glass and rackon pinion steering. But there's more. Because new
to popular demand, Buick's extended it's special Opal gas offer
through November thirtieth, which means if you have the good
sense to buy a new Opal now, Buick will reimburse
you for two hundred gallons of gasoline. And with two
(12:41):
hundred gallons of gas and the new Opraal, you can
do a lot of driving. Of course, your malage may vary,
but even at the estimated EPA city mileage of twenty
three miles per gallon, that's forty six hundred miles now
the highway, Opal's EPA estimate is thirty six miles per gallon.
The Buick Opal gas offer it's still on. See your
Buick Opal. You'll ason for details, make your best deal
(13:02):
and Buick will make it better two hundred gamons better.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
There are over fifty milor shops in the New York
publican area, consult your yellow pages for the shop nearest you.
All over the country, people are switching to Diegel. Why
because diegel is different. Because no plane, add acid, liquid
or tablet can do what Diegel does. Diegel contains cimetic hoone,
the only ingredient found to be safe in the treatment
of the track gas, which often accompanies acid, indigestion, heartburn,
(13:29):
and sour's stomach. So switch to digel, tablets or liquid
use only as directed. Diegel deliciously different.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The cry of murder is a shrill and terrifying thing,
even when articulated with the Wija board's silence. When habits
Wiga cried murder this evening, and then stead vastly refused
to explain whose murder, committed by whom, for what purpose, when, where?
How no explanation. The repeated use of the word, however,
(14:12):
was dramatic enough to give pause even to those who
considered luigia nothing but a silly spelling game. Not one
of the four who were present has had a good
night's sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Hello Kyle, Oh, yes, I'm sorry to bother you at
your office. Dear, I can't meet you for lunch today
after all, at least I don't think I should.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Helen Pickett just called me and asked me if I
could meet her for lunch. She sounded terribly upset, and
so I said I would something about Max. Well she
didn't say, but what else would she be worrying about?
Right now? I'm sorry, I'm late, Helen. The traffic was
absolutely awful today. Have you ordered?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I thought i'd wait for you. Have you been running?
I heard it? You sound it too upset on the phone. Well,
I am upset about Max.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Gwen.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Do you know anything about paranoia? No? Are you serious? Helen?
Do you actually believe that Max? I can't believe them. Well,
I don't want to, but something's wrong with him. And
to tell you the truth, I'm scared scared of Max.
I've him maybe for him, certainly. He said this morning
(15:28):
he's going to see maud Garth. Well, what sympathy call?
I think he should not a sympathy call. He thinks
she's out to get him, now, those were his words.
He thinks everybody's out to get him lately, out to
get him in what way? Gwen? Will you tell me
something truthfully? Yes? Does that? Luigi board really work on
(15:50):
its own. Doesn't somebody have to push it? No, it
goes by itself. I swear to you, Helen, I don't
push it. Kyle certainly wouldn't. He hates the You didn't
push it last night. You weren't making it, say murder
the way it did? Absolutely not. Why do you ask?
Max thinks you did. Look, even if I was manipulating it,
(16:12):
Why should that worry Max? He thinks Kyle puts you
up to it. Kyle and I just don't understand it all.
He thinks it's Kyle's way of accusing him indirectly of
murdering Tom Garth.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's me, mad, Max Piggett.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hello, Max?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
How are you okay? I? Yes, you are right.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Well, it's all.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Right as I don't hope to be under the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Won't you come in?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Well, I'm afraid the place is in a mess. I'm
in the middle of packing going away. Yes, I found
a little apartment I'm moving. You know this house is
much too big for just me.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Anyway. I seem to see Tom everywhere I look.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I must be pretty tempt for and I miss
him a lot myself. Why do you keep looking at
me that way?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
What way?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Tom was my friend? You know we were more than
just partners. We were friends. I know that, and I
can't understand why you think what you think? I think what? Max?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, you think I had something to do with Tom's that,
don't you? But somehow I'm responsible for Max? Such a
fault never entered my mind. No, I wouldn't expect you
to admit it, not to me. Look, I have a
lot of enemies, and you're one of them. I can
see that clearly. Now I come here and offer you help,
(17:56):
offer you money, and you still sit there lucky he
had made that way, thinking how best you can ruin me?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Max? That's not true.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But I went out in the end. You'll say, Maud,
I'm smart than all of you put together, and I
went out on the end. Are you busy, kyl Oh No,
darling or too coming in? How was your lunch with Helen?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Pretty ghastly? If you want to know she's worried sick
about Max.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well after last night, I can't say I blame her.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do you think that he could be Parannoya Kyle?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't know enough about it to say? Is that
what Helen thinks?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, she suggested it. Kyle, how do you think Tom
Garth died? How he really died?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, suicide? I thought that was established.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You don't think Max had anything to do with it?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Good? Lord know Gwen, when the wy would.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I think a thing like Max seems to believe you do?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Leave said, oh, come on.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
According to Helen, he thinks you put me up to
making the reader board say murder. He thinks it was
your way of accusing him of murdering Tom garl Helen
the merchant did No. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Well, don't get this settled once and for all. I'm
calling Max at his office. I'm going to settle this Max, Yes,
said you Cale, Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Max? I want to talk to you, all right, go ahead? No, No,
not on the phone, when you have time after you
leave the office this afternoon. I don't know what does
you want to talk to me about? I said, not
on the phone. You're not trying to set me up
for something, Max, What the devil you're talking about? I
want to see you? Wow? All right? Where Kelly's Pub
(19:50):
five point thirty?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Be all right?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Kelly's Pub?
Speaker 6 (19:54):
All right, Maud, come in.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I hope I haven't caught you at a bad time, Helen.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
No, not at all. Sit down, Maud. Are you all right?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Oh yes, I'm having a little trouble adjusting to be alone,
of course, but well I'm all right. It must have
been terrible for you. Not very pleasant, Helen. Max came
to see me today. Oh yes, he said he might. Well,
he was very strange. I really didn't understand what he
(20:35):
was talking about. He thinks of me as an enemy, he.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Said so in just those words. I'm afraid he's seeing
enemies wherever he looks these days. Well, I mean, he's
just not himself right now, Maud. We spent yesterday evening
with Gwen and Kyle Pickett, and Max got all upset
about something a Ouiji board said, Oigi boy. Gwen's been
on a Wigi board kick lately, and she and I
(20:59):
were just around with the thing last night and it
spelled out murder. Max was terribly upset.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Has he said anything to you at all about thinking
of me as an enemy? Giving you any reason why
he should.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Feel that way? I don't think so. He said so
many strange things that no, there's just no reason. Well,
he'll be all right again soon, Maud. I wouldn't worry
about it if I were you.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Except that Helen. If he thinks of me as his enemy,
then that makes him my enemy, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
What do you have, Max? Scotch and soda? I guess
to scotch and soda?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Is here? Ready?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Please? He'll going today? Max? My career O the name lately? Losy?
Is somebody else going to meet us here? Kind of? No? No,
I told you I just want to talk to you alone.
I know that's what you said in these days. Oh,
I don't much stark on what people say to me.
I can't afford to everyone's so crafty. Oh now you
(22:05):
just imagine that?
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh sure, that's what you are like me to believe,
isn't it. You must think I'm very stupid not to
see what's going on. Nothing, Nothing is going on, Max,
Nothing You call it nothing when making that damn Weede
your board of us keep spelling out murder, murder murder. Well, Max, Max,
Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I understand you think that I've been making accusations against you.
How do you know that? Well, there's little mystery about it,
Helen told Gwen. Gwen told me, huh eh, you see
see what there are working against me? Even Helen going
behind my back repeating things I've said in private, plotting
against me. But Lord, I can't even trust my own
(22:46):
wife anymore. Max, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Now, why would I accuse you of murder? What earthly reason? Well,
the same reason all the rest of them have to
destroy Max Peckett. Max, You've got to stop this. Look
on your friend. We've been friends for how many years?
We've known each other for a long time? That's true
or not. We've been friends for a long time now, Max,
you're not well? Ah oh, now we're getting around to that,
(23:10):
are we. Next you'll be saying I ought to see
a psychiatrist. Now, I was going to suggest it as
a matter of fact, and then let it get around right.
Not only is all Max Picket all the other things
you accuse him of being. He's a mooney too, right, Max,
I think a good psychiatrist could help you help me?
Why ruin myself? All right? Forget the psychiatrist, Just listen.
(23:30):
I want you to trust me. I don't care about
the rest.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Of them, whoever they are.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I want to help you, Max. I'm on your side now,
buddy's on my side. Well I am. Will you just
believe me and trust me? Okay? Sure, then Kyle, I
trust you. Hi, And you don't believe that nonsense you
were talking to Helen last night? To you keep about
accusing you of murder? Oh, of course that's ridiculous. I
(23:58):
don't think you're serious. Hey, you see you don't trust me.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Max, Max?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I thought I heard you come in? Where are you?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I'm in my study?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Are you busy? Will I disturb you?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'm busy, but you won't disturb me.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Why didn't you call out when you came in the
way you usually do? I thought, maybe, Max? What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I'm cleaning a gun? What does it look like?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
What for?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I don't like dirty guns? Do you mind? I had
a drink with Kyle a little while ago?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh? Any special reason?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Do we need a reason? Well, buddies, antri oh, con
and I yes? Of course. At least that's what he
kept telling me.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well you are, you've been friends for years?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
He kept telling me about how long we've been friends?
What difference does it make? How long?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
It's?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
What good friends we are, and that's what counts, or.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
You are good friends.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh you bet Another thing he told me. He told
me he didn't accuse me of murder.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Well, of course he didn't. I've said that all along, Helen.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yes, how did he know? I thought he was accusing
me of murder?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
How did he know?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
That's what I asked you. I don't know, then I'll
tell you he knew that I thought he was accusing
me of murder because you told him That's what I thought.
I haven't even seen him. You told Gwen she told him.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh, well, I guess I did mention it to Gwenn. Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yes, So what that means is I can't trust my
own wife any longer. There's nobody in the world I
can trust. It's many against stole the rest of you,
isn't it?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Max?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You did it?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Didn't you good? What you killed? Tom Garth?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
The human mind is an extremely delicate instrument. It serves
us well when it is in proper working order, but
it can serve us ill. Indeed, when through some maladjustment,
it departs from its normal way and improperly dictates our purposes.
We are prone in this condition, which is known as
(26:42):
madness to commit serious crimes, including the crime of m rder.
I'll be back shortly with that. Three. True Value Hardware
Stores suggests a way to communicate how much you care
you have a Robin CBE radio this Christmas, Hi Pat
Summer all to tell you why CBE radios have almost
(27:04):
become a necessity for anybody who drives. You can use
them to get directions, call for help, or to stay
alert when driving for long stretches at night or in
bad weather. And the Robin Mobile Transceiver package, a twenty
three channel CBE radio with five watt transceiver, antimi and
PA speaker, offers a performance plus. You get top quality
features plus good looks at surprisingly low prices. True Value
(27:26):
Hardware Stores also offer the Deluxe Robin Digital CB radio,
a twenty three channel transceiver with superb sound reproduction. It
features squelch control to reduce interference, a large digital channel readout,
and a handsome wood grain front panel. This Christmas, communicate
how much you care you have a Robin CBE radio
from participating True Value Hardware Stores. True Value That's more
(27:48):
than just a name, it's their way of doing business.
They say that in every man's psychological makeup. There are
criminal tendencies held in leash only by the thin veneer
(28:08):
we call civilization, and civilization is nothing more than a
code of behavior we have imposed upon ourselves, because the
alternative is chaos. If our minds were not strong enough
to hold in abeyance our purely animal tendencies, we will
surely lapse into what we call insanity. It happens in
(28:32):
individual cases, and the results are appalling.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Hello, Hello, Gwen, Yes, this is mord Gwen.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Not God.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I'm okay, a little lonely, of course, but that's just
something I'll have to get used to.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Are you seeing people? Are you getting out now?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
And then? Enough? As much as I want to, Gwen,
Helen tells me you're wheedy. Board freak?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh will? I do have a board? I mean, I
don't know if that makes me a freak. I just
flew around with it, you know, when I can get
somebody to work it with me. Oh well, I had one.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
When I was a kid. Might I always get a
kick off?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
My lord?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Could you hold on a minute, Kyl? Is that you?
I'm on the phone, dear. I'll be with you in
a couple of minute. No hurry, sorry, maud kyl just
came in.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Oh, well, I won't keep you.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, we're no rush.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
What about wijiboards, Maude, Well, I was just wondering if
I could come over sometime when you're free, and maybe
we could have a session with yours?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Sure, anytime? What about later this evening?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Well, that would be nice. Are you sure you're not busy?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Oh, I haven't got a plan to my name? Lord, Yes,
I'll come. I mean, why do you want to work
with a wigi board all of a sudden?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I just uh, I suppose it's silly, but with Tom
gone and everything they do say wijiboards are a kind
of contact with people passed away, you'll they I don't take.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It quite that silluriously, maud.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Well, it wouldn't hurt to dry, would.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't know, to tell you the truth, it doesn't
sound very healthy to me.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I'd like to try it all the same.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Gwyn. Okay, but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Work, though, Oh I won't.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I promise around eight thirty then that'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I'm Glenn, thank you, I'll forget it.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I'll see you at eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Who were you saying? At eight thirty.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Moud, God, Maud. How come she wants to work Luigi
board with me?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
That done Luigi Board? What's her interest?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, it's sort of morbid. Apparently she wants to see
if she can get in touch with Tom.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh Lord, next we'll be having said.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I couldn't say no, could I? Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I guess not?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Did you see Max?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I sure did? And weird, Gwen, I'm afraid he is
in trouble. Oh, dear.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Carl, Why would it occur to him to think you
suspect him of killing Tom Garth?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I really don't know if he's really slipped a cog.
There's no point in trying to analyze this, thank you?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
What if? What if he did kill Tom Garth?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You're like all the rest of them? An'sh Helen? You
think I killed him?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I only asked you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You couldn't testify against me, and now you're my wife,
did you, Max? Yes, Well, he's the one who made
it necessary. I didn't want to kill him. He just
wouldn't have it any other.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Way, Max, you really did.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
A man has to protect himself, Helen, that's biological. When
you're in danger, you have to take steps to avoid
the danger. So what evolution is based on survival of
the fittish?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Oh world?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
What he were threatening me? He should have known I'd
have to do something about it was his fault threatening you.
How he was talking about sending me to jail. Can
you imagine that we've been partners in friends for all
these years. He's going to send me to jail just
the way you want a stage.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
How could he have sent you to jail?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
He had the evidence, of course, the books were read.
He had it all right, they're right there in front
of them.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Are you saying it was you who stole money from
the firm? You not tell.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
The firm was half mine, wasn't it? How can you
call it stealing? Besides? I meant to pay it back
when I could. There wasn't any big rush, was there.
But he wanted to all back all of it, my
half as well as his max.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Why did you do it? We were all right, We didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Need them, are no? What about that swimming pool out
back he spent half the summer in. You think that
came out of my salary? I had a salary. I
take them picking and goth No way, no way. What
about the country club? Where do you think that money
came from and other things, lots of other things that
you enjoyed just as much as I do.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
He didn't need them. We could have lived without the
pool at.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
The club, Ellen. Why did he have to go snooping
in the books? Anyway? Why couldn't he have trusted me?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Max? What are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I didn't enjoy it. But if you're thinking I did
here wrong, I didn't like doing it at all.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
If only you had.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
He was pacing back and forth in his office there,
back and forth, back and forth, accusing me, accusing me
of stealing and all that he should have known it
would make me angry that if you were steak and forth,
back and forth. So when he was facing away toward
the window, I took the gun out of his desk.
Draw everybody know he kept the gun then, fact, I
don't want to hear anything. And then I waited until
(33:26):
he sat down at his desk again, and I put
the gun up against this him and I pull the
true next.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Please, please, what are you going to do now?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
It's hard to know. I'm going to have to kill
Kyle Labbett of course, and Gwen too. I suppose they
both guessed and you can't. But I've got to Helen.
Don't you understand there's no other way.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I hope I'm not putting you to too much trouble.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Grin, no trouble at all. Mard, Kyle and I fool
around with the wijibird almost every night anyway.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
We just fool around with it. We don't take it
seriously more and I'm not sure I approve of what
you're going to try to do. Well.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
I just want to see if Tom is if I
can speak to him.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Well, let's try it now. You know what to do more?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yes, you just ask it the questions?
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Oh well, is.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
It is it possible to communicate with Tom Goth?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Give it a moment?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Ask again.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
I'm trying to get in touch with with the spirit
of Tom God. Is it possible to speak with him?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
It's movie. It's going up to the yes corner? Is
this Tom?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Is it? Is it all right where you are?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Again?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
No, that I've done it. I don't know what to say.
Do you have a message for Maud? M you r
d E R No?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Not again? Wait?
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Was it you who kept saying murder last night? Says?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Do you mean, do you mean you were murdered? Tom?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Who did it? Who? Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
it hasn't finished. A N D Y oh you and
you me A L L T h R E E
(36:02):
all three?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Do you mean that all.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Three of us in this room are going to be murdered?
Speaker 9 (36:07):
M A X Max, I have to go GWNN.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I can't stay here all night. I don't see why not? Well,
I have to go home sooner or later? I mean,
can we call the police and.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Tell them we've been warning by our Ouiji board that
somebody's planning the murderers. I don't think they'd pay much attention.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
You don't think we ought to take the warning seriously?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Well, I admit I feel sort of uncomfortable about it,
But no, I don't think we should take it too seriously.
It's only a ouiji board, a gadget.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Well, then there's nothing to keep me from going home,
is there?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Well, unless you're going to be frightened?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
No, No, I think you're right. I'll go. Now Where
are you going?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Max?
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Are you going to be avataruse?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I thought i'd pay them a cor Yes, Max, you mustn't.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
If you leave here, I will call the police and
tell them. I will. I'll call them and I'll tell them. Max,
please don't point that gun at me.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
You, like all the others, you bring it on yourself.
I can't let you call the police. You'll spoil everything
everything I planned.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Max. Please listen to me.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You are sick.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
They will take care of you. The whole thing's been
too much for you. The police will know that, and
they will take care of.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'm all right, Helen. Don't you think i'd know. I'm
perfectly all right. I just know what has to be done,
and I intend to do it. No, Max, No, I
will shoot you, Helen, honestly I will. I'd rather not,
you know that, but I will if you make me.
I'll promise me you won't call the police. Well, if
(37:48):
you won't promise, all.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Right, all right, I promise.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
I won't call the police.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Cal I'm worried about He.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Shouldn't be any more worried about her than about you
and me. The Ouiji board said we'd all three get it.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I don't think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Well, neither to why darling, But I don't think we
ought to let it get out of perspective in the
other direction either. After all. It was a wigi board
that won this grin. It's a Wigi board, a toy.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I don't consider it a toy.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Well maybe not, but neither is it an oracle.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
That must be Maud. She promised to call when she
got home. Hello, Maud, Maud.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
No, it's Helen Gwenn Ellen Pickett.
Speaker 1 (38:27):

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Don't you understand? Max is on his way there right
now with a gun. He's going to kill you.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
He'll be there any minute.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Just get out of the house, run, was all. Max's
on his way over here with a gun. That was Helen.
She said we should get out of the house.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Did she call the police?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
No, I don't think so. Oh, Donny, should we just
go we can from at least from somewhere else.

Careful, hurry, Carl, hurry.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yes, I got it. That won't do you any good
telling the lights. You're gonna save yourself far. There's trouble, Kyle.
If you'd only minded your own business, I hadn't got
nosy about Tom. God, it's just a matter of time,
you know. Until I find the light switch, you couldn't
(40:00):
live well.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Or not alone.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Huh. Why don't you answer me?
Speaker 5 (40:05):

Why didn't you say something? Did I get you with
that one? All? As soon as I find the light swiper?
Are you all right? When? Yes? Are you yes? I'm okay,

But why did you kill Tom?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
I never had enough money, not for the things we wanted.
That's the whole thing. I never had quite enough money. Huh.
Don't let them take me place place. Please, don't let
them take me. They won't. They won't hurt you, Max,
They know you're sick.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I'll outs at the door.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I can't say that we've made out an air tight case.
In favor of Wiga boards, Many people explain their odd
behavior by blaming the unconscious segment of the mind of
the person whose fingers are on the planchet. How will
you react the next time a planchet under your fingertips

between beers are the names. I know some people who
wouldn't like to hear that, because for one hundred years
they've been beechwood aging their beer to give it a
taste of smoothness and a drinkability found and no other
beer at any price. Why go to all that extra
time and expense. They know you can tell a great
(42:18):
beer when you taste that you've did all and is
of Push Headquarters, Saint Louis, Missouri. I got bronchial asthma,
but I got a road to rip up too, so
I take Broncaide tablets. They helped keep my occasional asthma
tax away for hours. Climate teen templets. They work, but

bronc Aid has something extra to help get rid of congestion.
And with asthma, getting rid of broncho congestion is really important.
Bronkate helps me breathe easy for hours. It works almost
as hard as I do. Bronc Aide tablets do more
to let you breath easier. Use only as directed. What
can cause henry, strenuous activity, pregnancy, constipation, change in diet.

to have been the Wigi's swan song, for it leans

Like millions of other Americans, President Ford and President elect
Jimmy Carter celebrated Thanksgiving with traditional family gatherings. Mister Ford
with about fifteen friends and relatives at the Presidential retreat
in Camp David, Maryland. Ten members of the Carter family
enjoyed a turkey dinner in Plains. Meanwhile, a group of
New England Indians fasting at the sight of the first
Thanksgiving more than three hundred and fifty years ago. Governor
(46:39):
Hugh Carey said the day before yesterday that Thanksgiving won't
be canceled in New York despite the city's financial condition,
and it wasn't. There were the usual praises in city
churches today for blessings past and blessings to come. There
were the usual outpourings of goodwill, and there was the
usual Thanksgiving Day parade Macy's fiftieth, complete with floats and
helium filled images of Smoky the Bear, bull Winkle and
(47:00):
Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Although most people watch the.
Speaker 11 (47:02):
Parade between nine and am and noon today, it actually
began at two o'clock this morning. That's when the forty
five floats left the Hoboken, New Jersey factory where they're
made and moved slowly through the Lincoln Tunnel to Manhattan.
A little later, helium trutz blew up the nine giant balloons,
and the parade performers turned up As the morning went on.
The Governor urged New Yorkers today to consider adoption as
(47:24):
a means of giving thanks. In his annual Thanksgiving Day message,
the governor said more than three thousand children remain institutionalized
in the state because no one is offered to give
them a home. The governor said the state is trying
to locate parents, who, in his words, have the courage
and the love to provide care for these children. He
urged interested persons to contact the state's Social Services department.
(47:46):
James Merrick of glen Cove was walking his dog along
the beach this Thanksgiving morning and suddenly it was Christmas.
There on the sand was a bag tied not with
ribbon but with white rope. Merrick opened the package and
behold inside was a pile of five dollars bills, or
so it seemed. Merrick was ecstatic. In the midst of
his family Thanksgiving dinner. He told w o r's John Wingate,
(48:09):
what happened?
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Come home with the money, you know?
Speaker 8 (48:12):
And I was.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
I didn't know what to expect because I've never seen
that amount of money, especially.
Speaker 8 (48:16):
I've seen a final villa.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
But oh my god, what am.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
I going to do with this?
Speaker 4 (48:20):
So what's that?
Speaker 8 (48:21):
I got my wife out and the boy next door
and he looked at it them. My mother is a policeman.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
My father is the next policeman.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
I look at the first day we took the money
down to the first six day counted.
Speaker 11 (48:35):
Out, the count reached ten thousand dollars, but alas Christmas
was short lived, all the money was counterfeit. The WR
News time it's three minutes past eight. New Jersey health
officials are bracing for an expected heavy demand for swine
flu inoculations when special children's clinics opened this weekend in
(48:55):
the South Jersey and Jersey Soar regions. The officials say
interest in the inac relation program was increased dramatically in
recent days since a Missouri man was reported to have
contracted the disease. The man who had not received inoculation recovered.
Controller Harrison Golden says the New York City Sheriff's Office
currently has more than nine million dollars in non interest
(49:16):
bearing bank accounts. Golden says it means the city is
losing three hundred fifty thousand dollars a year in interest.
He calls it inconceivable that such a large amount of
money should be placed in a bank without drawing interest.
The sheriff collects money awarded the claimants by the courts
and temporarily deposits the funds in escro checking accounts. Golden's
auditors say a total of five hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
In interest could be accumulated from the money held.
Speaker 11 (49:40):
By the Sheriff's office, but part of it's on deposit
with the Irving Trust Company, which provides two hundred thousand
dollars worth of computer services in return for the non
interest accounts. If the two hundred thousand dollars in commuter
computer services is subtracted, from the five hundred fifty thousand dollars,
the auditors say the city is still losing three hundred
fifty thousand dollars in interest. The New York State Board
(50:01):
of Regents has taken the first step toward finding a
replacement for Education Commissioner Ewald Nyquist, the man they fired
last week. Region's Chancellor Theodore Black announced today the formation
of a committee whose chief function will be to set
up a search committee named the Committee where three regents
who voted to fire and Niquist and three who voted
against the Ouster fire marshals tonight are investigating the scene
(50:23):
of a fire early this morning at the Northeast Neighborhood
Association Medical and Dental Center on the Lower east Side.
Officials have labeled the blaze suspicious after police bomb Section
detectives removed a large explosive device at lease say the
device apparently was intended to be triggered by the fire,
but it never went off.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
The building is located on Avenue C near Houston Street.
Speaker 11 (50:43):
The wor And News time it's seven minutes past eight.
It's never too early to think about retirement, So think green,
think about the too great retirement accounts you can now
get at the Greenwich Savings Bank. Both give you more
money to retire on than you probably have ever dreamed
of and important tax benefits. Besides. Does that grab you,
(51:04):
then listen carefully. If your company has no retirement plan,
federal law and now'll let you set aside fifteen percent
of your earned income every year up to fifteen hundred
dollars in an individual retirement account at the Greenwitch Savings Bank.
You don't pay up any income tax on this money,
nor on the high interest it earns until you retire.
The other retirement plan is for the self employed. It
(51:26):
lets you put aside fifteen percent of your earned income
up to seventy five hundred dollars, with both principal and
interest also tax deferred until retirement. Either way, these are
untax dollars that earn high interest at the Greenwich Savings Bank.
Speaker 3 (51:39):
Don't miss this opportunity.
Speaker 11 (51:41):
Look for the lady or man in green at any
office of the Greenwich Savings Bank and open your retirement
account today, Member FDIC.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
It was five years ago last night that a man
known only as D. B.
Speaker 11 (51:53):
Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient jet collected two hundred thousand
dollars ransom and parachuted out of the plane over southwest
Washington State into oblivion. Perhaps no trace was ever found
of Cooper or the ransom, and federal lawman doubt that
he survived to drop into the woods. Certainly he jumped
into folk legend. The people of the town of Ariel
(52:13):
and Washington are having a celebration in honor of dB
this weekend. W o r's Roger Skibbiness learned about it
from general store owner Jermaine Tricola.
Speaker 8 (52:22):
We're going to have a Cooper's Caper party.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
A Cooper's Caper party. Uh huh, that sounds good. I
wish I could join you.
Speaker 8 (52:30):
To do is drop in?
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah, drop in?
Speaker 2 (52:34):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (52:34):
You should be here?
Speaker 2 (52:35):
I should be out there.
Speaker 3 (52:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Tell me about the celebration you got planned Saturday.
Speaker 8 (52:41):
Well, we have a few boys dropping in and we're
serving buffalo stew.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
How many do you expect?
Speaker 8 (52:50):
I don't really know. This is mushroomed and with a
big park down below us here, we probably have quite
a bit of room.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Are he parachuting in?
Speaker 8 (53:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (53:01):
Yes, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
Why all this folk hero attitude towards mister D. B.
Speaker 8 (53:07):
Cooper, Well, supposedly he has jumped up here in our area,
and we've kind of put him in the legend category
along with Bigfoot and the Sasquatch.
Speaker 11 (53:22):
Disagreement between two black nationalist leaders at the Geneva Conference
on Rhodesia prevented any progress at today's session of the talks.
There are indications that Black leader Joshua in Comas prepared
to accept March first, nineteen seventy eight, as the date
for transition to majority rule in Rhodesia, but his a
lie Robert Mugabe, is reportedly holding out for a promise
of transition within one year. In South Africa, the Johannesburg
(53:45):
Star says thirty three Black Rhodesian guerrillas were killed this
week in fighting among rival black factions based in Mozambique,
but the Gorilla's Joint Military Command in Mozambique denies the reports.
Despite US opposition, the United Nation's Committee today voted to
condemn American military bases on the Pacific island of Guam.
The General Assembly's Decolonization Committee adopted the resolution sixty to
(54:08):
twenty one, with forty two abstentions. US Ambassador William Scranton
defended the bases, calling them an important contribution to the
security of the United States in the Pacific region. Last year,
a similar resolution was passed by a larger margin in
a vote before the same committee. US Commerce Secretary Elliott
Richardson is continuing his trade promotion tour of Eastern Europe
(54:30):
today with a visit to Yugoslavia. Richardson arrived in Belgrade
for talks with government and economic leaders. His discussions in
Yugoslavia will cover investment and trade issues. The US Embassy
in tel Aviv says the body of a US diplomat
killed in an accident last night will be flown to
the US on Monday. James Dean was the first secretary
(54:50):
at the US Embassy in tel Aviv. Dean died when
a tour bus accidentally left a hilly road in the
Negev Desert. He was thirty six years old. Nine other
occupy into the bus were injured. A French company says
in Paris that the government of Vietnam has asked it
to set up a logistics base for oil exploration off
the Vietnamese coast. The company also says it will set
(55:12):
up offices in Sigone to help oil companies operating in Vietnam.
Western oil companies have been negotiating with Hanui for several months,
but there have been no agreements so far. A group
of journalists and broadcasters that the Voice of America is
calling for independence for the agency. A Voice of America
official says the group is telling the new administration it
should not be associated with either the US Information Agency
(55:35):
or the State Department. The State Department isn't commoning, but
a spokesman for the US Information Agency says the agency
director thinks Voice of America should remain a part of
that agency. President elect Carter is not indicated whether he
favors independence for the Voice of America. The Voice of
America is a radio network charter to send news about
the US overseas. The Dutch Justice Department says it's considering
(55:57):
the possibility of bringing criminal charges against Prince Barnhardt or
his role in the Lockheed bribe's affair, but a spokesman
warns it's too early to be sure what action will
be taken. We'll have the weather in the top of
the news coming right up.

That's the time to say you'll have the gress of

of course, and whether you call it a paraitee or
an advertiser, the proper time to enjoy its distinctive taste
is before, before lunch, before dinner, at cocktail time, before
whatever you've got cooking. It's a wine that's right for

Come in.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall, come to lead you safely.
I hope through another encounter with the sinister happenings in
which we specialize, we become involved in circumstances not dealt
with in the nice, conforming normal world we're used to.
We run a foul of things not considered quite natural
(00:40):
in our workaday world, and we may find them just
a little frightening. Are you up to it? Heart? Sound
nerves steady? Well? Then? Our mystery drama m U R
d R. Was written especially for the Mystery Theater by
Field and Farrington and stars Larry Haynes and Ralph Bell.
(01:05):
It is sponsored in part by anhuzer Bush Incorporated brewers
of Budweiser and true Value hardware stores. I'll be back
shortly with that one.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
It only takes one glass.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Those who knows this beer, Budweiser is the king of beers,
the crisp roma of the choicest comps and that famous
snappy Budweiser taste. But only the most careful brewing process
and exclusive beechwood aging can deliver and deliver it does
a smoothness, a drinkability, and cold golden enjoyment. You'll find
(01:37):
in no other beer at any price. And I suppose
headwarters Saint Louis, Missouri. In the usual course of things,
the future is mercifully hidden from us. I say mercifully
(01:58):
because few, and indeed are those among us who have
only joyous elements in their futures, and who wants premature
knowledge of the troubles at lie ahead. Oh, people go
looking for it. That's true enough. Fortune tellers make a living,
tables tap and weed. Your boards are brought out on
quiet evenings at home. But in the main, the future
(02:20):
keeps its secrets pretty well hidden. When it fails to
do so well, the results are unpredictable.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Do you want to taste this, Helen, and say if
it needs more wine or anything?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Sure, I'm glad you told me you're having beefbourgignon. I'm
not sure anything else would have got Max out of
the house tonight. Isn't he feeling well? I've been worried
about Max, Gwen. I'll come he's there. I don't know.
He just seems withdraw and he doesn't laugh anymore. He
doesn't enter into things to tell you the truth, Helen.
(02:52):
That's the reason Kyle suggested this little dinner party. Well,
I hope it helps. I've really been concerned. Well, we
all know that Max. He's been having business worries. He's
been having business worries ever since I've known him. But
he's never acted like this before. I mean, it's like
it's been like living with a stranger. If I didn't
think he'd blow up in my face, I'd suggest to
(03:14):
see a psychiatrist.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You're not ready for another things? My teeny's Kyle. Well,
I have a feeling of the girls that then they
went out's dinner before long. So I'll take my drink
to the table with me. Surebax, I'm not going to
drive myself from my teenie Kyle. And that's what's worrying you. No,
that's not what's worrying me, Bax. I know what is it? Well,
I think we've got the shoe on the wrong foot. Share.
That's what I was about to ask you. What's troubling me?
(03:42):
My partner kills himself, My business is in a total mess,
And you ask me what's trouble with me?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It is already.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'll be right with you. You want your drink, bas
I'll take it in with me.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yes, when there's nothing in all this world quite like
your beef aga off. Isn't it great?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Max? Ah? Yes, un, let's just very good. You ought
to try eating some of it things? Oh, I said
it was good? Didn't I? Bake's sake? What do you
all want for me?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Helen? Uh? Did Gwen tell you about her Wiji board
or what? Well? Tell it?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Guly, I went to this garage sale over on Ridgwood
Avenue and I bought a Wiji board. That's all.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's all. There's been time for nothing else since she
came home with a thing every evening. And it takes
two of us to who's a Wiji boy?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Do you really believe in that?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Not really? Not serious?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well, it uses bad language sometimes and it can get
very personal.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You keep talking about what it does. Surely it doesn't
do anything, not on its own. I mean you have
to push it, don't you.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well Gwen swears she doesn't push the thing, and I
know I don't, not consciously.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
At least I'll show you after dinner, Helen. Do you
want to work it with me?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
For sure?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Fine?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Fine?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
That don't get Max and me a chance for a
little private talk. What do you have to talk privately
about Max.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Don't be rude.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You're all trying to help, huh. Invite poor old Max
out to dinner, Good old Kyle and Gwen to the rescue.
Who asked for it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You can't blame us for trying. Max.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sure isn't getting us anyway. That's my fault. I suppose,
sure my fault. You don't know the troubles I've got
none a year. You don't know, not even me, Max, No,
not even you. I would just say if I told
you that my partner's been stealing me blind, eh, Tom
Tom Guarth stealing me blind and I caught him at it.
That's why he blew his brains out. Well, that's hard
(05:35):
to believe, of Tom Garth. Tom was into the firm
for almost one hundred thousand dollars. Are you calling me
a lion?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Was it calling you a lie? Max?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Please don't be like that.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
All right? All right? I couldn't believe it either until
I'd gone over the books, not even then, not even
when I've seen it in black and white. But it's true.
It's been going on for over a year, almost one
hundred thousand dollars. No awful lot of money, too much
for picketing. God, I'll tell you that we're not big
enough to drop one hundred thousand dollars and go on.
So if nothing had happened, Max, if there's anything I
(06:07):
can do, I can handle it, all right. There's no
way I can get the money back. His wife doesn't
have it. He left more practically penniless. Penniless. Ah well,
I guess he has enough to live on, but not
enough to account for that one hundred thousand store. It's
a mess, all right, then why do we have to
keep on and on about it? I'm sick to death
(06:29):
of the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Max.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
While the girls are still busy out in the kitchen,
I well, I can't swing at myself. I don't have
that kind of money lying around, but I have connections
over it. First national, you know. And if you need
an a loan to get you back on your feet,
I'm sure. Ah No, I wouldn't help. Might buy me
a little time maybe, but in the long run, wouldn't
solve my problem.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, we're going to play with twins, WHICHI board.
I'll playing with the wicha boy. Hell, you work with it, okay,
play work whatever you want to try it. I'll get
it out, Kyle, if you make some rooms so I
can set it up on the coffee table.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Sure, and don't get Helen huked on the thing. When
that's all I need a wei you boyd telling me
to relax and take it easy.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
All right, now pull up the footstool, Helen.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Oh okay, that's what Kyle.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Always uses because we have to sit on opposite side
of the table. All right, missie. We start with a
planchette here in the middle. Planed shit, that's what they
call this little table thing that moves around on the board,
this thing. Oh all right, okay, all right, now rest
your fingertips very lightly on the top of the plant
shed lightly. Sometimes the planchett even moves under your fingers.
(07:40):
Sure it does. That's the wrong attitude. Come on, sit
quietly and think about the planchet moving. Concentrate on it.
It doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Have to be patient.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is there a message for anyone? It's moving ish? M
you are.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
D e R murdered?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Lord, it's said, what about murder? It's going again? M
you r d e R. Well, what is it you
want to tell us about murder?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Somebody's pushing the damn thing.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I'm not pushing a shsh m.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
You are, d e are?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, how about another rubber? I don't think so, Kyle.
I have been getting too much sleep. I'd like to
get to bed earlier to night. Besides, we're losing.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh come on, it isn't even eleven o'clock. We really
ought to go, Gwinn.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
We'd have been better off staying with Luigia board.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Too spooky for me. Well, you have to admit it works, though,
don't you. Helly, it's got a one track mind and
it's morbid. M r d e er Now what kind
of talk is that?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Gruesome? Come on, Helen, let's go listen.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Maybe you two can come over to our place next week,
give us a chance to get our money back.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I've got a very pretty busy next week, Helen. I
don't know whether I'll have a free evening or not.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, we will play it by air, Gwenn, it was
a lovely dinner. Thank you very much. Well, thank you'll
see you next week or whatever?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, so long?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But you like a cup of coffee or something, Kyl No, I.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Don't think so, Gwyn. It wasn't a very successful evening,
was it?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
What's the matter with him anyway? Helen's right, he's like
a stranger.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Well, you can understand Tom's death upsetting him, especially since
Tom had been in bezzling the firm's funds.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's really hard to believe of Tom Garth, isn't it?
Ledi Boyd seemed to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Upset Max oh Ean yelling murder set me to You know, Darling,
I'm gonna break that thing up for kindling Wood.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You didn't seem to enjoy the evening much, Max.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I didn't enjoy it any I thought you we shouldn't
have done well.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We're just trying to help.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I wish everybody would stop trying to help. I constraighten
things out of everybody and just let me alone.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Are you going right to bed?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't know if they have a nightcap. You go
on up if you want to.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Max. I know you won't like this, but you've been
drinking an awful lot lately.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I mean it didn't like you. Nothing you do lately
is like you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
He's out to get me?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What are you talking about? Who's out to get you?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Kyle Labbott?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What Max, Kyle Abbott is your best friend?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
That Tom Goth's dead? You mean he was my friend,
wasn't he? He stole one hundred thousand dollars from me?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well, Kyle hasn't stolen anything from you, has he?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
He put her up to it, all right, I.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Don't know what you're talking about. Half the time.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I'm talking about Gwen Abbott and a stupid wiga board.
You push those things around you, No, they don't just
go by themselves.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Still, don't see what that hapen?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Murder? That's all she made it say murder, murder, murder.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
If she was pushing it, why would she make it
say murder?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Because Kyle told her too? That's why?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Why on earth would he tell her to do a
thing like that?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Because he thinks I killed tom Goth? Should a wija
board be taken seriously? Those who do, and there are
more of them than you might think. These believers will
tell you that the wija board is a means of
(11:56):
communication with the dead. Myself, I am a professional fence
sitter in these matters. I study the evidence and try
to keep an open mind. There'll be more evidence to
study when I returned shortly with that two buy a
Buick Opal anytime, and you get a sensational little car,
one that's comfortable funder drive. They'l Byasuzu equip with things
(12:19):
like a four cylinder overhead cam hemi engine, a short
throw four speed manual transmission, plus reclining bucket seats, tinted
glass and rackon pinion steering. But there's more. Because new
to popular demand, Buick's extended it's special Opal gas offer
through November thirtieth, which means if you have the good
sense to buy a new Opal now, Buick will reimburse
you for two hundred gallons of gasoline. And with two
(12:41):
hundred gallons of gas and the new Opraal, you can
do a lot of driving. Of course, your malage may vary,
but even at the estimated EPA city mileage of twenty
three miles per gallon, that's forty six hundred miles now
the highway, Opal's EPA estimate is thirty six miles per gallon.
The Buick Opal gas offer it's still on. See your
Buick Opal. You'll ason for details, make your best deal
(13:02):
and Buick will make it better two hundred gamons better.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
There are over fifty milor shops in the New York
publican area, consult your yellow pages for the shop nearest you.
All over the country, people are switching to Diegel. Why
because diegel is different. Because no plane, add acid, liquid
or tablet can do what Diegel does. Diegel contains cimetic hoone,
the only ingredient found to be safe in the treatment
of the track gas, which often accompanies acid, indigestion, heartburn,
(13:29):
and sour's stomach. So switch to digel, tablets or liquid
use only as directed. Diegel deliciously different.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The cry of murder is a shrill and terrifying thing,
even when articulated with the Wija board's silence. When habits
Wiga cried murder this evening, and then stead vastly refused
to explain whose murder, committed by whom, for what purpose, when, where?
How no explanation. The repeated use of the word, however,
(14:12):
was dramatic enough to give pause even to those who
considered luigia nothing but a silly spelling game. Not one
of the four who were present has had a good
night's sleep.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Hello Kyle, Oh, yes, I'm sorry to bother you at
your office. Dear, I can't meet you for lunch today
after all, at least I don't think I should.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Helen Pickett just called me and asked me if I
could meet her for lunch. She sounded terribly upset, and
so I said I would something about Max. Well she
didn't say, but what else would she be worrying about?
Right now? I'm sorry, I'm late, Helen. The traffic was
absolutely awful today. Have you ordered?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I thought i'd wait for you. Have you been running?
I heard it? You sound it too upset on the phone. Well,
I am upset about Max.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Gwen.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Do you know anything about paranoia? No? Are you serious? Helen?
Do you actually believe that Max? I can't believe them. Well,
I don't want to, but something's wrong with him. And
to tell you the truth, I'm scared scared of Max.
I've him maybe for him, certainly. He said this morning
(15:28):
he's going to see maud Garth. Well, what sympathy call?
I think he should not a sympathy call. He thinks
she's out to get him, now, those were his words.
He thinks everybody's out to get him lately, out to
get him in what way? Gwen? Will you tell me
something truthfully? Yes? Does that? Luigi board really work on
(15:50):
its own. Doesn't somebody have to push it? No, it
goes by itself. I swear to you, Helen, I don't
push it. Kyle certainly wouldn't. He hates the You didn't
push it last night. You weren't making it, say murder
the way it did? Absolutely not. Why do you ask?
Max thinks you did. Look, even if I was manipulating it,
(16:12):
Why should that worry Max? He thinks Kyle puts you
up to it. Kyle and I just don't understand it all.
He thinks it's Kyle's way of accusing him indirectly of
murdering Tom Garth.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It's me, mad, Max Piggett.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hello, Max?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
How are you okay? I? Yes, you are right.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Well, it's all.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Right as I don't hope to be under the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Won't you come in?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Well, I'm afraid the place is in a mess. I'm
in the middle of packing going away. Yes, I found
a little apartment I'm moving. You know this house is
much too big for just me.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Anyway. I seem to see Tom everywhere I look.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I must be pretty tempt for and I miss
him a lot myself. Why do you keep looking at
me that way?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
What way?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Tom was my friend? You know we were more than
just partners. We were friends. I know that, and I
can't understand why you think what you think? I think what? Max?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, you think I had something to do with Tom's that,
don't you? But somehow I'm responsible for Max? Such a
fault never entered my mind. No, I wouldn't expect you
to admit it, not to me. Look, I have a
lot of enemies, and you're one of them. I can
see that clearly. Now I come here and offer you help,
(17:56):
offer you money, and you still sit there lucky he
had made that way, thinking how best you can ruin me?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Max? That's not true.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But I went out in the end. You'll say, Maud,
I'm smart than all of you put together, and I
went out on the end. Are you busy, kyl Oh No,
darling or too coming in? How was your lunch with Helen?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Pretty ghastly? If you want to know she's worried sick
about Max.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well after last night, I can't say I blame her.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Do you think that he could be Parannoya Kyle?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't know enough about it to say? Is that
what Helen thinks?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, she suggested it. Kyle, how do you think Tom
Garth died? How he really died?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, suicide? I thought that was established.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You don't think Max had anything to do with it?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Good? Lord know Gwen, when the wy would.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I think a thing like Max seems to believe you do?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Leave said, oh, come on.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
According to Helen, he thinks you put me up to
making the reader board say murder. He thinks it was
your way of accusing him of murdering Tom garl Helen
the merchant did No. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Well, don't get this settled once and for all. I'm
calling Max at his office. I'm going to settle this Max, Yes,
said you Cale, Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Max? I want to talk to you, all right, go ahead? No, No,
not on the phone, when you have time after you
leave the office this afternoon. I don't know what does
you want to talk to me about? I said, not
on the phone. You're not trying to set me up
for something, Max, What the devil you're talking about? I
want to see you? Wow? All right? Where Kelly's Pub
(19:50):
five point thirty?
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Be all right?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Kelly's Pub?
Speaker 6 (19:54):
All right, Maud, come in.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I hope I haven't caught you at a bad time, Helen.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
No, not at all. Sit down, Maud. Are you all right?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Oh yes, I'm having a little trouble adjusting to be alone,
of course, but well I'm all right. It must have
been terrible for you. Not very pleasant, Helen. Max came
to see me today. Oh yes, he said he might. Well,
he was very strange. I really didn't understand what he
(20:35):
was talking about. He thinks of me as an enemy, he.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Said so in just those words. I'm afraid he's seeing
enemies wherever he looks these days. Well, I mean, he's
just not himself right now, Maud. We spent yesterday evening
with Gwen and Kyle Pickett, and Max got all upset
about something a Ouiji board said, Oigi boy. Gwen's been
on a Wigi board kick lately, and she and I
(20:59):
were just around with the thing last night and it
spelled out murder. Max was terribly upset.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Has he said anything to you at all about thinking
of me as an enemy? Giving you any reason why
he should.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Feel that way? I don't think so. He said so
many strange things that no, there's just no reason. Well,
he'll be all right again soon, Maud. I wouldn't worry
about it if I were you.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Except that Helen. If he thinks of me as his enemy,
then that makes him my enemy, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
What do you have, Max? Scotch and soda? I guess
to scotch and soda?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Is here? Ready?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Please? He'll going today? Max? My career O the name lately? Losy?
Is somebody else going to meet us here? Kind of? No? No,
I told you I just want to talk to you alone.
I know that's what you said in these days. Oh,
I don't much stark on what people say to me.
I can't afford to everyone's so crafty. Oh now you
(22:05):
just imagine that?
Speaker 8 (22:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Oh sure, that's what you are like me to believe,
isn't it. You must think I'm very stupid not to
see what's going on. Nothing, Nothing is going on, Max,
Nothing You call it nothing when making that damn Weede
your board of us keep spelling out murder, murder murder. Well, Max, Max,
Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I understand you think that I've been making accusations against you.
How do you know that? Well, there's little mystery about it,
Helen told Gwen. Gwen told me, huh eh, you see
see what there are working against me? Even Helen going
behind my back repeating things I've said in private, plotting
against me. But Lord, I can't even trust my own
(22:46):
wife anymore. Max, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Now, why would I accuse you of murder? What earthly reason? Well,
the same reason all the rest of them have to
destroy Max Peckett. Max, You've got to stop this. Look
on your friend. We've been friends for how many years?
We've known each other for a long time? That's true
or not. We've been friends for a long time now, Max,
you're not well? Ah oh, now we're getting around to that,
(23:10):
are we. Next you'll be saying I ought to see
a psychiatrist. Now, I was going to suggest it as
a matter of fact, and then let it get around right.
Not only is all Max Picket all the other things
you accuse him of being. He's a mooney too, right, Max,
I think a good psychiatrist could help you help me?
Why ruin myself? All right? Forget the psychiatrist, Just listen.
(23:30):
I want you to trust me. I don't care about
the rest.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Of them, whoever they are.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I want to help you, Max. I'm on your side now,
buddy's on my side. Well I am. Will you just
believe me and trust me? Okay? Sure, then Kyle, I
trust you. Hi, And you don't believe that nonsense you
were talking to Helen last night? To you keep about
accusing you of murder? Oh, of course that's ridiculous. I
(23:58):
don't think you're serious. Hey, you see you don't trust me.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Max, Max?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I thought I heard you come in? Where are you?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I'm in my study?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Are you busy? Will I disturb you?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I'm busy, but you won't disturb me.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Why didn't you call out when you came in the
way you usually do? I thought, maybe, Max? What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I'm cleaning a gun? What does it look like?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
What for?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I don't like dirty guns? Do you mind? I had
a drink with Kyle a little while ago?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh? Any special reason?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Do we need a reason? Well, buddies, antri oh, con
and I yes? Of course. At least that's what he
kept telling me.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Well you are, you've been friends for years?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
He kept telling me about how long we've been friends?
What difference does it make? How long?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
It's?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
What good friends we are, and that's what counts, or.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
You are good friends.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh you bet Another thing he told me. He told
me he didn't accuse me of murder.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Well, of course he didn't. I've said that all along, Helen.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yes, how did he know? I thought he was accusing
me of murder?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
How did he know?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
That's what I asked you. I don't know, then I'll
tell you he knew that I thought he was accusing
me of murder because you told him That's what I thought.
I haven't even seen him. You told Gwen she told him.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh, well, I guess I did mention it to Gwenn. Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yes, So what that means is I can't trust my
own wife any longer. There's nobody in the world I
can trust. It's many against stole the rest of you,
isn't it?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Max?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
You did it?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Didn't you good? What you killed? Tom Garth?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
The human mind is an extremely delicate instrument. It serves
us well when it is in proper working order, but
it can serve us ill. Indeed, when through some maladjustment,
it departs from its normal way and improperly dictates our purposes.
We are prone in this condition, which is known as
(26:42):
madness to commit serious crimes, including the crime of m rder.
I'll be back shortly with that. Three. True Value Hardware
Stores suggests a way to communicate how much you care
you have a Robin CBE radio this Christmas, Hi Pat
Summer all to tell you why CBE radios have almost
(27:04):
become a necessity for anybody who drives. You can use
them to get directions, call for help, or to stay
alert when driving for long stretches at night or in
bad weather. And the Robin Mobile Transceiver package, a twenty
three channel CBE radio with five watt transceiver, antimi and
PA speaker, offers a performance plus. You get top quality
features plus good looks at surprisingly low prices. True Value
(27:26):
Hardware Stores also offer the Deluxe Robin Digital CB radio,
a twenty three channel transceiver with superb sound reproduction. It
features squelch control to reduce interference, a large digital channel readout,
and a handsome wood grain front panel. This Christmas, communicate
how much you care you have a Robin CBE radio
from participating True Value Hardware Stores. True Value That's more
(27:48):
than just a name, it's their way of doing business.
They say that in every man's psychological makeup. There are
criminal tendencies held in leash only by the thin veneer
(28:08):
we call civilization, and civilization is nothing more than a
code of behavior we have imposed upon ourselves, because the
alternative is chaos. If our minds were not strong enough
to hold in abeyance our purely animal tendencies, we will
surely lapse into what we call insanity. It happens in
(28:32):
individual cases, and the results are appalling.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Hello, Hello, Gwen, Yes, this is mord Gwen.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Not God.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I'm okay, a little lonely, of course, but that's just
something I'll have to get used to.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Are you seeing people? Are you getting out now?
Speaker 4 (28:53):
And then? Enough? As much as I want to, Gwen,
Helen tells me you're wheedy. Board freak?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh will? I do have a board? I mean, I
don't know if that makes me a freak. I just
flew around with it, you know, when I can get
somebody to work it with me. Oh well, I had one.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
When I was a kid. Might I always get a
kick off?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
My lord?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Could you hold on a minute, Kyl? Is that you?
I'm on the phone, dear. I'll be with you in
a couple of minute. No hurry, sorry, maud kyl just
came in.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Oh, well, I won't keep you.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, we're no rush.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
What about wijiboards, Maude, Well, I was just wondering if
I could come over sometime when you're free, and maybe
we could have a session with yours?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Sure, anytime? What about later this evening?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Well, that would be nice. Are you sure you're not busy?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Oh, I haven't got a plan to my name? Lord, Yes,
I'll come. I mean, why do you want to work
with a wigi board all of a sudden?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I just uh, I suppose it's silly, but with Tom
gone and everything they do say wijiboards are a kind
of contact with people passed away, you'll they I don't take.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It quite that silluriously, maud.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Well, it wouldn't hurt to dry, would.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I don't know, to tell you the truth, it doesn't
sound very healthy to me.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I'd like to try it all the same.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Gwyn. Okay, but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Work, though, Oh I won't.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I promise around eight thirty then that'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I'm Glenn, thank you, I'll forget it.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I'll see you at eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Who were you saying? At eight thirty.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Moud, God, Maud. How come she wants to work Luigi
board with me?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
That done Luigi Board? What's her interest?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Well, it's sort of morbid. Apparently she wants to see
if she can get in touch with Tom.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh Lord, next we'll be having said.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I couldn't say no, could I? Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I guess not?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Did you see Max?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I sure did? And weird, Gwen, I'm afraid he is
in trouble. Oh, dear.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Carl, Why would it occur to him to think you
suspect him of killing Tom Garth?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I really don't know if he's really slipped a cog.
There's no point in trying to analyze this, thank you?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
What if? What if he did kill Tom Garth?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You're like all the rest of them? An'sh Helen? You
think I killed him?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I only asked you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You couldn't testify against me, and now you're my wife,
did you, Max? Yes, Well, he's the one who made
it necessary. I didn't want to kill him. He just
wouldn't have it any other.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Way, Max, you really did.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
A man has to protect himself, Helen, that's biological. When
you're in danger, you have to take steps to avoid
the danger. So what evolution is based on survival of
the fittish?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Oh world?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
What he were threatening me? He should have known I'd
have to do something about it was his fault threatening you.
How he was talking about sending me to jail. Can
you imagine that we've been partners in friends for all
these years. He's going to send me to jail just
the way you want a stage.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
How could he have sent you to jail?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
He had the evidence, of course, the books were read.
He had it all right, they're right there in front
of them.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Are you saying it was you who stole money from
the firm? You not tell.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
The firm was half mine, wasn't it? How can you
call it stealing? Besides? I meant to pay it back
when I could. There wasn't any big rush, was there.
But he wanted to all back all of it, my
half as well as his max.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Why did you do it? We were all right, We didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Need them, are no? What about that swimming pool out
back he spent half the summer in. You think that
came out of my salary? I had a salary. I
take them picking and goth No way, no way. What
about the country club? Where do you think that money
came from and other things, lots of other things that
you enjoyed just as much as I do.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
He didn't need them. We could have lived without the
pool at.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
The club, Ellen. Why did he have to go snooping
in the books? Anyway? Why couldn't he have trusted me?
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Max? What are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I didn't enjoy it. But if you're thinking I did
here wrong, I didn't like doing it at all.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
If only you had.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
He was pacing back and forth in his office there,
back and forth, back and forth, accusing me, accusing me
of stealing and all that he should have known it
would make me angry that if you were steak and forth,
back and forth. So when he was facing away toward
the window, I took the gun out of his desk.
Draw everybody know he kept the gun then, fact, I
don't want to hear anything. And then I waited until
(33:26):
he sat down at his desk again, and I put
the gun up against this him and I pull the
true next.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Please, please, what are you going to do now?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
It's hard to know. I'm going to have to kill
Kyle Labbett of course, and Gwen too. I suppose they
both guessed and you can't. But I've got to Helen.
Don't you understand there's no other way.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I hope I'm not putting you to too much trouble.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Grin, no trouble at all. Mard, Kyle and I fool
around with the wijibird almost every night anyway.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
We just fool around with it. We don't take it
seriously more and I'm not sure I approve of what
you're going to try to do. Well.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
I just want to see if Tom is if I
can speak to him.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Well, let's try it now. You know what to do more?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yes, you just ask it the questions?
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Oh well, is.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
It is it possible to communicate with Tom Goth?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Give it a moment?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Ask again.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
I'm trying to get in touch with with the spirit
of Tom God. Is it possible to speak with him?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
It's movie. It's going up to the yes corner? Is
this Tom?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Is it? Is it all right where you are?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Again?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:07):
No, that I've done it. I don't know what to say.
Do you have a message for Maud? M you r
d E R No?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Not again? Wait?
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Was it you who kept saying murder last night? Says?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Do you mean, do you mean you were murdered? Tom?
Speaker 2 (35:38):

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Three of us in this room are going to be murdered?
Speaker 9 (36:07):
M A X Max, I have to go GWNN.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I can't stay here all night. I don't see why not? Well,
I have to go home sooner or later? I mean,
can we call the police and.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Tell them we've been warning by our Ouiji board that
somebody's planning the murderers. I don't think they'd pay much attention.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
You don't think we ought to take the warning seriously?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Well, I admit I feel sort of uncomfortable about it,
But no, I don't think we should take it too seriously.
It's only a ouiji board, a gadget.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Well, then there's nothing to keep me from going home,
is there?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Well, unless you're going to be frightened?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
No, No, I think you're right. I'll go. Now Where
are you going?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Max?
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Are you going to be avataruse?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I thought i'd pay them a cor Yes, Max, you mustn't.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
If you leave here, I will call the police and
tell them. I will. I'll call them and I'll tell them. Max,
please don't point that gun at me.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
You, like all the others, you bring it on yourself.
I can't let you call the police. You'll spoil everything
everything I planned.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Max. Please listen to me.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You are sick.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
They will take care of you. The whole thing's been
too much for you. The police will know that, and
they will take care of.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'm all right, Helen. Don't you think i'd know. I'm
perfectly all right. I just know what has to be done,
and I intend to do it. No, Max, No, I
will shoot you, Helen, honestly I will. I'd rather not,
you know that, but I will if you make me.
I'll promise me you won't call the police. Well, if
(37:48):
you won't promise, all.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Right, all right, I promise.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
I won't call the police.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Cal I'm worried about He.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Shouldn't be any more worried about her than about you
and me. The Ouiji board said we'd all three get it.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I don't think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Well, neither to why darling, But I don't think we
ought to let it get out of perspective in the
other direction either. After all. It was a wigi board
that won this grin. It's a Wigi board, a toy.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I don't consider it a toy.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Well maybe not, but neither is it an oracle.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
That must be Maud. She promised to call when she
got home. Hello, Maud, Maud.

on his way over here with a gun. That was Helen.
She said we should get out of the house.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Did she call the police?

No, I don't think so. Oh, Donny, should we just
go we can from at least from somewhere else.

telling the lights. You're gonna save yourself far. There's trouble, Kyle.
If you'd only minded your own business, I hadn't got
nosy about Tom. God, it's just a matter of time,
you know. Until I find the light switch, you couldn't

Or not alone.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Huh. Why don't you answer me?
Speaker 5 (40:05):

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Why didn't you say something? Did I get you with
that one? All? As soon as I find the light swiper?
Are you all right? When? Yes? Are you yes? I'm okay,
I'm okay. I hit him with a book.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
ND.
Speaker 2 (40:27):

Yes? I think so. Oh he's bleeding for I hit.
Speaker 2 (40:33):

Speaker 2 (40:43):
To Max, Max, can you hear me? What happened if
I belted you over the head.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
With a bookend, Max, Why did you do it?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I had so you knew I killed Tom? Oh, Actually
we didn't at all. Ah, yes you did. You can't
fool me.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
But why did you kill Tom?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
I never had enough money, not for the things we wanted.
That's the whole thing. I never had quite enough money. Huh.
Don't let them take me place place. Please, don't let
them take me. They won't. They won't hurt you, Max,
They know you're sick.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I'll outs at the door.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I can't say that we've made out an air tight case.
In favor of Wiga boards, Many people explain their odd

between beers are the names. I know some people who
wouldn't like to hear that, because for one hundred years
they've been beechwood aging their beer to give it a
taste of smoothness and a drinkability found and no other
beer at any price. Why go to all that extra
time and expense. They know you can tell a great

beer when you taste that you've did all and is

but I got a road to rip up too, so
I take Broncaide tablets. They helped keep my occasional asthma
tax away for hours. Climate teen templets. They work, but
(42:39):
bronc Aid has something extra to help get rid of congestion.
And with asthma, getting rid of broncho congestion is really important.
Bronkate helps me breathe easy for hours. It works almost
as hard as I do. Bronc Aide tablets do more
to let you breath easier. Use only as directed. What
can cause henry, strenuous activity, pregnancy, constipation, change in diet.

The nation celebrates Thanksgiving police looking for sniper on Manhattan's
Midtown west side. Little progress reported in Geneva talks on Rhodesia.
It's thirty seven degrees and mostly clear mid Manhattan. The
mansays partly cloudy tonight and tomorrow. The Lord of Night
in the mid thirties. This is John Scott with the
eight o'clock edition.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Of the News.
Speaker 11 (46:16):
Like millions of other Americans, President Ford and President elect
Jimmy Carter celebrated Thanksgiving with traditional family gatherings. Mister Ford
with about fifteen friends and relatives at the Presidential retreat
in Camp David, Maryland. Ten members of the Carter family
enjoyed a turkey dinner in Plains. Meanwhile, a group of
New England Indians fasting at the sight of the first
Thanksgiving more than three hundred and fifty years ago. Governor
(46:39):
Hugh Carey said the day before yesterday that Thanksgiving won't
be canceled in New York despite the city's financial condition,
and it wasn't. There were the usual praises in city
churches today for blessings past and blessings to come. There
were the usual outpourings of goodwill, and there was the
usual Thanksgiving Day parade Macy's fiftieth, complete with floats and
helium filled images of Smoky the Bear, bull Winkle and
(47:00):
Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Although most people watch the.
Speaker 11 (47:02):
Parade between nine and am and noon today, it actually
began at two o'clock this morning. That's when the forty
five floats left the Hoboken, New Jersey factory where they're
made and moved slowly through the Lincoln Tunnel to Manhattan.
A little later, helium trutz blew up the nine giant balloons,
and the parade performers turned up As the morning went on.
The Governor urged New Yorkers today to consider adoption as
(47:24):
a means of giving thanks. In his annual Thanksgiving Day message,
the governor said more than three thousand children remain institutionalized
in the state because no one is offered to give
them a home. The governor said the state is trying
to locate parents, who, in his words, have the courage
and the love to provide care for these children. He
urged interested persons to contact the state's Social Services department.
(47:46):
James Merrick of glen Cove was walking his dog along
the beach this Thanksgiving morning and suddenly it was Christmas.
There on the sand was a bag tied not with
ribbon but with white rope. Merrick opened the package and
behold inside was a pile of five dollars bills, or
so it seemed. Merrick was ecstatic. In the midst of
his family Thanksgiving dinner. He told w o r's John Wingate,
(48:09):
what happened?
Speaker 2 (48:10):
Come home with the money, you know?
Speaker 8 (48:12):
And I was.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
I didn't know what to expect because I've never seen
that amount of money, especially.
Speaker 8 (48:16):
I've seen a final villa.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
But oh my god, what am.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
I going to do with this?
Speaker 4 (48:20):
So what's that?
Speaker 8 (48:21):
I got my wife out and the boy next door
and he looked at it them. My mother is a policeman.
Speaker 1 (48:29):
My father is the next policeman.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
I look at the first day we took the money
down to the first six day counted.
Speaker 11 (48:35):
Out, the count reached ten thousand dollars, but alas Christmas
was short lived, all the money was counterfeit. The WR
News time it's three minutes past eight. New Jersey health
officials are bracing for an expected heavy demand for swine
flu inoculations when special children's clinics opened this weekend in
(48:55):
the South Jersey and Jersey Soar regions. The officials say
interest in the inac relation program was increased dramatically in
recent days since a Missouri man was reported to have
contracted the disease. The man who had not received inoculation recovered.
Controller Harrison Golden says the New York City Sheriff's Office
currently has more than nine million dollars in non interest
(49:16):
bearing bank accounts. Golden says it means the city is
losing three hundred fifty thousand dollars a year in interest.
He calls it inconceivable that such a large amount of
money should be placed in a bank without drawing interest.
The sheriff collects money awarded the claimants by the courts
and temporarily deposits the funds in escro checking accounts. Golden's
auditors say a total of five hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
In interest could be accumulated from the money held.
Speaker 11 (49:40):
By the Sheriff's office, but part of it's on deposit
with the Irving Trust Company, which provides two hundred thousand
dollars worth of computer services in return for the non
interest accounts. If the two hundred thousand dollars in commuter
computer services is subtracted, from the five hundred fifty thousand dollars,
the auditors say the city is still losing three hundred
fifty thousand dollars in interest. The New York State Board
(50:01):
of Regents has taken the first step toward finding a
replacement for Education Commissioner Ewald Nyquist, the man they fired
last week. Region's Chancellor Theodore Black announced today the formation
of a committee whose chief function will be to set
up a search committee named the Committee where three regents
who voted to fire and Niquist and three who voted
against the Ouster fire marshals tonight are investigating the scene
(50:23):
of a fire early this morning at the Northeast Neighborhood
Association Medical and Dental Center on the Lower east Side.
Officials have labeled the blaze suspicious after police bomb Section
detectives removed a large explosive device at lease say the
device apparently was intended to be triggered by the fire,
but it never went off.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
The building is located on Avenue C near Houston Street.
Speaker 11 (50:43):
The wor And News time it's seven minutes past eight.
It's never too early to think about retirement, So think green,
think about the too great retirement accounts you can now
get at the Greenwich Savings Bank. Both give you more
money to retire on than you probably have ever dreamed
of and important tax benefits. Besides. Does that grab you,
(51:04):
then listen carefully. If your company has no retirement plan,
federal law and now'll let you set aside fifteen percent
of your earned income every year up to fifteen hundred
dollars in an individual retirement account at the Greenwitch Savings Bank.
You don't pay up any income tax on this money,
nor on the high interest it earns until you retire.
The other retirement plan is for the self employed. It
(51:26):
lets you put aside fifteen percent of your earned income
up to seventy five hundred dollars, with both principal and
interest also tax deferred until retirement. Either way, these are
untax dollars that earn high interest at the Greenwich Savings Bank.
Speaker 3 (51:39):
Don't miss this opportunity.
Speaker 11 (51:41):
Look for the lady or man in green at any
office of the Greenwich Savings Bank and open your retirement
account today, Member FDIC.

It was five years ago last night that a man
known only as D. B.
Speaker 11 (51:53):
Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient jet collected two hundred thousand
dollars ransom and parachuted out of the plane over southwest
Washington State into oblivion. Perhaps no trace was ever found
of Cooper or the ransom, and federal lawman doubt that
he survived to drop into the woods. Certainly he jumped
into folk legend. The people of the town of Ariel
(52:13):
and Washington are having a celebration in honor of dB
this weekend. W o r's Roger Skibbiness learned about it
from general store owner Jermaine Tricola.
Speaker 8 (52:22):

Speaker 2 (52:24):
A Cooper's Caper party. Uh huh, that sounds good. I
wish I could join you.
Speaker 8 (52:30):
To do is drop in?
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah, drop in?
Speaker 2 (52:34):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (52:34):
You should be here?
Speaker 2 (52:35):
I should be out there.
Speaker 3 (52:38):
Now.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Tell me about the celebration you got planned Saturday.
Speaker 8 (52:41):
Well, we have a few boys dropping in and we're
serving buffalo stew.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
How many do you expect?
Speaker 8 (52:50):
I don't really know. This is mushroomed and with a
big park down below us here, we probably have quite
a bit of room.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Are he parachuting in?
Speaker 8 (53:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (53:01):
Yes, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
Why all this folk hero attitude towards mister D. B.
Speaker 8 (53:07):
Cooper, Well, supposedly he has jumped up here in our area,
and we've kind of put him in the legend category
along with Bigfoot and the Sasquatch.
Speaker 11 (53:22):
Disagreement between two black nationalist leaders at the Geneva Conference
on Rhodesia prevented any progress at today's session of the talks.
There are indications that Black leader Joshua in Comas prepared
to accept March first, nineteen seventy eight, as the date
for transition to majority rule in Rhodesia, but his a
lie Robert Mugabe, is reportedly holding out for a promise
of transition within one year. In South Africa, the Johannesburg
(53:45):
Star says thirty three Black Rhodesian guerrillas were killed this
week in fighting among rival black factions based in Mozambique,
but the Gorilla's Joint Military Command in Mozambique denies the reports.
Despite US opposition, the United Nation's Committee today voted to
condemn American military bases on the Pacific island of Guam.
The General Assembly's Decolonization Committee adopted the resolution sixty to
(54:08):
twenty one, with forty two abstentions. US Ambassador William Scranton
defended the bases, calling them an important contribution to the
security of the United States in the Pacific region. Last year,
a similar resolution was passed by a larger margin in
a vote before the same committee. US Commerce Secretary Elliott
Richardson is continuing his trade promotion tour of Eastern Europe
(54:30):
today with a visit to Yugoslavia. Richardson arrived in Belgrade
for talks with government and economic leaders. His discussions in
Yugoslavia will cover investment and trade issues. The US Embassy
in tel Aviv says the body of a US diplomat
killed in an accident last night will be flown to
the US on Monday. James Dean was the first secretary
(54:50):

a tour bus accidentally left a hilly road in the
Negev Desert. He was thirty six years old. Nine other

in Paris that the government of Vietnam has asked it
to set up a logistics base for oil exploration off
the Vietnamese coast. The company also says it will set
(55:12):
up offices in Sigone to help oil companies operating in Vietnam.
Western oil companies have been negotiating with Hanui for several months,
but there have been no agreements so far. A group
of journalists and broadcasters that the Voice of America is
calling for independence for the agency. A Voice of America
official says the group is telling the new administration it
should not be associated with either the US Information Agency
(55:35):
or the State Department. The State Department isn't commoning, but
a spokesman for the US Information Agency says the agency
director thinks Voice of America should remain a part of
that agency. President elect Carter is not indicated whether he
favors independence for the Voice of America. The Voice of
America is a radio network charter to send news about
the US overseas. The Dutch Justice Department says it's considering
(55:57):
the possibility of bringing criminal charges against Prince Barnhardt or
his role in the Lockheed bribe's affair, but a spokesman
warns it's too early to be sure what action will
be taken. We'll have the weather in the top of
