Don McNeill hosts

Howard McKeel from Chattanooga, Tennessee: “I gave myself a parking ticket” 
McKeel ticketed his own car, which his wife had driven downtown and left too long at a meter.  In another embarrassing incident, McKeel ticketed cars in nearby Roseville, which was not only out of his jurisdiction, but across the state line in northern Georgia.  McKeel is a relatively new transfer to the meter force from the Chattanooga Department of Public Works.  It is unclear how much longer he would keep his position.   
Golfer Doug Ford: “Don McNeill beat me at golf today” 
It is explained that Don won according to the way Don keeps score.  In July, Ford won the PGA Championship, the first of his two major titles.  His 19 PGA tour wins places him in the top fifty of all time in that category.  He would also represent the US on four Ryder Cup teams, winning three times.   

Special Guest Audie Murphy puts Henry through a series of West Point commands 
Murphy was a highly decorated soldier during World War II who had a successful post-war career as an actor.  He mostly played in westerns, but notably starred as himself in To Hell and Back, a 1955 adaptation of his own 1949 memoir.  The book and movie were both enormous hits, cementing his stardom.  Murphy’s publicity tour for the film included appearances on many popular television shows, including this one.   

Faye is taking time off from the show to go to work on the Broadway-bound comedy The Heavenly Twins.  Her costar is the previous week’s special guest Jean-Pierre Armont.  The Heavenly Twins would open on Broadway on November 4 and run for 35 performances, closing December 3.  Faye would return to the show on December 7 ( E164 ). The panel says goodbye to Faye, for now, by sharing her life story in newspaper headlines.
