New York AP Cynthia Lowry reports Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, has penned 81 half hour scripts in two months. He plans a rest after a taxing second year, noting he risks imitating himself. He says ideas come from random observations and hotel lobbies.
Rudy Vallee discusses craving a life beyond self image, aiming to be a top comic again. He taps into Broadway’s How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying while touring TV and benefits, noting his energy remains high at 60. He blends college anthems, vaudeville material, and fractured French into a unique act, drawing on peers like Charlie Farrell for material.
Tonight's schedule includes WHICAM FM at 9 10 with Serenade in Stereo featuring Porgy and Bess themes. TV picks show Cracker belt safety, Steelers at Giants, nuclear war debates, Xavier University forum highlights, Bret Maverick retribution plan, Ed Sullivan guests, Toody and MullDoon apartment search, Bonanza return, and Candid Camera dance segment.
Serling announces a one year writing residency at Antioch College starting next year teaching three classes weekly. He will use spare time to reconnect with his family and write while supervising rehearsals for Requiem For A Heavyweight. If the TV series extends, he will commute by plane.
The piece traces Rod Serling's rise from Ohio college graduate and World War II paratrooper to a prolific TV writer. It highlights Patterns winning his first Emmy, his role in Playhouse 90 with Requiem For A Heavyweight, and his view on The Twilight Zone era as imaginative yet occasionally pretentious, with violence handled as serious rather than escapist.
New York AP Bullwinkle the TV moose will debut as a parade balloon in Macy's 35th Thanksgiving Day procession.

Designers endured 1000 plus man hours of prep as Bullwinkle joins Turkey Dragon Popeye and Observation Balloon through Broadway streets from 77th to 57th.
