INFORMATION & PUBS) 2—=— May 10, 1960 Comments on "Red Alert" Treatment I agree with you that this is not much of a story. At least Mr, Daley's treatment doesn't show much, I can't under- stand why this was submitted to us. It is completely a military story. As a matter of fact he was somewhat’ sponsored by the military in his research. His style of development and presentation is patterned directly from TV. He should make his approaches to the TV networks or independent producers, not us. I think Tom Paradine is a wonderful fellow and I wouldn't mind doing a favor for him any time, but I can't see any interest for us in this property. ‘ibe Mr, Wagner Mr, Heimlich Mr, Schooler Mr, Linden Grate fties' 84STATE OF New YorK @ stony a PLEASE REPLY TO: EXECUTIVE CHAMBER ned t 22 w, seth eTReeT April 25, 1960 iden, Dear Ken: Mr. Arthur Daley, who is on the staff of the Governor's Press Secretary ho and who is a creative motion picture and television specialist, has an interesting production idea for TV. This might fall right in line with your sound observation about the total lack of impact in the translation of "Alas, Babylon", In any event, if you feel the story line that Daley has in the enclosed treatment is of any interest, you might want to get in touch with him directly, Personally, I like his treatment! With my sincere best wishes, Cordially, INS Thomas E, Paradine Special Assistant to the Governor Mr. Kenneth T. Downes Assistant Director for Training, Education and Public Affairs Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization Executive Office Building Washington 25, D. C.
