PARIS (UPl)—North Vietna
mese officials gave no indica

meet with the 14 Americans—l 3
women and a man—who have
come seeking information on
relatives missing or captured in
Vietnam.
The latest group of visitors
included the wife of a Navy
captain who knows her husband
is alive in a North Vietnamese
prison but wants a list of all
American prisoners of war
from the Communists.
She is Mrs. Sybil Stockdale of
San Diego, Calif., the only
person among the 14 who
received word following her
husband’s capture that he was
safe but injured after bailing
out over North Vietnam.

Atlantan, Two
Others Find
Their Searchers
ATLANTA (UPI)- With res
cue teams scouring the Grand
Canyon for them and a plane
cruising the wilderness until
midnight looking for their sig
nal fire, James Sears, 21 of
Atlanta and two fellow hikers
just “stumbled across” search
ers on a country road around
Kingman, Ariz.
James, the son of Col. and
Mrs. Robert C. Sears, is a for
estry major at Northern Ariz
ona University.
Thursday, he and John

Mrs. Sears said Sunday that

ing his return to civilization Sa
turday and explained the whole
thing.
“They apparently went to the
wrong place to meet,” she said.
After entering the canyon last
weekend, the trio waited “about
I six days.”
“They ran out of food and
started walking. They finally
got to a country road,” said
Mrs. Sears.
“They weren’t worried at all.
They first decided it was best
to wait for the others rather
than wander. Then they got
tired of waiting.”
The three wandering hikers
were found in good condition
Saturday afternoon, according
to Mrs. Sears.
“They were just hungry.”

Television Review
Lennon-Durante
May Not Click
By RICK DU BROW
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - The
new Jimmy Durante-Lennon
Sisters variety series that
arrived on ABC-TV during the
weekend will be a surprise if it
registers much in the ratings.
In the first place, it is
opposite CBS-TV’s Friday mo
tion pictures, as well as NBC
TV’s jazzy new serial about
behind-the-scenes shenanigans
in a movie studio, “Bracken’s
World.”
Second, many members of
the tired blood set who would
be likely viewers of the
Durante-Lennon Sisters show
may well be asleep by the time
it arrives at its late hour—lo
p.m. EDT.
Third, the program is what is
known in the trade as a soft
show. What is meant by this is
that it doesn’t have oomph,
“it,” pizzazz—stuff like that
there. Like many a good Las
Vegas lounge act, its status is
shaky simply because it doesn’t
come on strong enough to take
on the hardboiled competition.
The Lennon Sisters sing very
pleasantly, but they just don’t
have the sock to carry a show.
And good old Durante isn’t
enough anymore—at his ad
vanced age—to carry it all off
himself, though, as usual, he
gives it all he’s got and has his
moments.
Jack Benny helped out on the
premiere, and Noel Harrison,
as always, contributed a nice
bit of singing and relaxation.
The tipoff to the headache the
show faces is that the sisters
seemed most relaxed with
another guest, Jimmy Dean. At
any rate, this is one series
where the visiting talent must
carry the stars.
Two other new Friday ABC
TV series, both half-hours, also
face tough competition. One,
“Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,”
concerns a decent small-town
fellow who inherits his late
uncle’s vast holdings and moves
to New York. The show is
