Huntington Woods Resident
Makes Television History

By the Oak-Woodser
It hardly .seems possible that
the highly-developed television
industry can still boast another
"first."
Yet, a Huntington Woods res-
ident is making TV history with
a nightly newscast, being the
first commentator to work with-
out a prepared script.
He is Louis J. Gordon, of
8165 Hendrie Blvd., whose -Lou
Gordon News," presented each
midnight over WX'1Z-TV, has
been keeping many Detroiters
up nights to listen.
A successful manufacturer's
agent, with a million dollar or-
ganization, Lou still has never
gotten over his newspaper
background.
Detroit-born and educated
and a former student - at the
University of Michigan, Lou
left Detroit when he entered
military service. After serv-
ing a stint as an aviation ca-
det and later during the war
in civilian intelligence, he
stayed in Washington.
- He worked as a political writ-
er and assistant to the publish-
er of General Newspapers, and
began his own agency, the Cap-
ital Speakers and Writers Bu-
reau, which ghost-wrote
speeches and manuscripts for
Washington bigwigs.
It was while working for the
National Tennessean, covering
the political maneuverings of
Boss Krump that he got his
biggest story—an expose of the
entire Krump machine—at the
risk of attempts on -his life.
This is part of Gordon's
background, and it is this old
newspaper talent and former
contacts that today bring De-
troiters a most interesting and
inforniative newscast, which in-

cludes behind-the-scenes infor-
mation not regularly a part of
news programs.
The main problem he's en-
countered so far is adjusting his
schedule to fit the 12 o'clock
program and ,finding time to
spend with his family — his
wife, Dana, and three daugh-
ters, Carol, 8; Deborah, 7; and
Ruth, 5.
Although hers done some pre-
vious TV work — pinch-hitting
for Don Wattrick and interpret-
ing the election results last No-
vember—this is Lou's first reg-
ular TV program.
' He w4s pushed a little bit in-
to taking the show (but admits'
he didn't need too much
prompting) by a group of
friends, including adman Lou
Luckoff.
He has been given carte
blanche by 'studio _ producers,
and so far, it's been a reward-
ing experience; lots of fan mail
and not one crank letter. Work-
ing without a script has its
complications, lib wever, Lou
says.
lie told about his excoria-
tion of Frank Costello, after
that mobster was shot recent-
ly, and the resultant call
from Luckoff who advised
him to soft-pedal his treat-
ment of mobsters with the
admonition: "Remember Jer-
ry Buckley." (The Detroit
newsman killed by thugs in
the 20's.)
