Top country singers may testify
in court dispute over use of ‘opry’
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Some of the top country sin
gers in the nation will try to
convince a federal judge the
word “opry” belongs to the
nation’s most successful coun
try show.
An attorney for WSM Inc.
of Nashville indicated Roy
Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Grant
Turner, Porter Waggoner
and Red O’Donnell, as well as
others, may be called Tuesday
in the attempt to stop Dennis
Hilton from using the term
“opry” in the title of his Lake
of the Ozarks show.
WSM, the owner and oper
ator of the Grand Ole Opry,
contends “opry” is its regis
tered trademark.
Hilton, operator of the
Country Shindig Opry, will
contend the word is in the
public domain and cannot be
the property of any one per
son or corporation.
Judge Scott O. Wright last
month ordered Hilton to
drop the “opry” term from his
sign, advertising and litera
ture. He then set Tuesday’s
hearing to decide whether to
issue a permanent injunction.
David Brydon of Jefferson
City, Mo., an attorney for
WSM, said his company will
contend that “opry” has al
ways meant the Grand Ole
Opry and cannot be used by
anyone else without WSM’s
approval.

tody of two children for child
abuse and were sentenced to
federal prison for fraud, the
Chicago Tribune reported

Questions were being raised
about the investigative proce
dures used by the Repository for
Germinal Choice to screen
potential parents of geniuses as
a result of the child-beating
charges, the Tribune’s “Inc.”
column said.
The parents, Joyce and Jack
Kowalski, both 39, of Phoenix,

also were sentenced in 1978 to
federal prison on fraud charges.
Mrs. Kowalski told UPI she
would not comment on the alle
gations.
The Kowalskis gained inter
national attention with the birth
of a daughter, Victoria, April
21. The child’s father reportedly
is a mathematical genius.
A spokesman for the Del Mar,
Calif.-based sperm bank — dub
bed the Nobel Sperm Bank be
cause it distributes sperm don
ated only by men deemed highly
intelligent — was not available
for comment.
A National Enquirer report
featured Mrs. Kowalski in a
“World Exclusive” in its June 29
edition.
The magazine reportedly
paid her $20,()()() for the sperm-
bank story and the contract pro
hibits her from talking to any
other media for 30 days after the
article was published.
“I’ve always loved kids and
when I married Joyce I couldn’t
wait to have some of our own,”
the Enquirer quoted Kowalski as
saying. “We’ll begin training
Victoria on computers when
she’s 3, and we’ll teach her words
and numbers before she can
walk.”
The Tribune column said
Mrs. Kowalski, the former Joyce
Naunapper of Des Plaines, Ill.,
lost custody of her two children
after an investigation by state
authorities showed the children
had been abused.
Her former husband, Eric
Naunapper, was awarded cus
tody of the children in 1976, af
ter an investigator for the Illi
nois Department of Children
and Family Services ordered
them removed from the Kowals
ki home in Des Plaines.
In a court petition filed in
1976, Naunapper said his
daughter Donna, then 11, and
son Eric, 10, had been beaten
with straps. Teachers and a
nurse at the Einstein School in
Des Plaines said children
appeared in class battered and
bruised.
The Kowalskis were sent
enced to federal prison on a
number of counts including usj-
ing the names of dead children
to obtain credit cards, phony So
cial Security numbers and credit
references in fraudulent
schemes in Arizona, the column
said.
TV soaps
may inspire
suicides
United Press International
SAN DIEGO — When soap
opera characters attempt or
commit suicide on television, the
nation’s suicide rate climbs, says
a sociologist who compared
health statistics against the story
lines of daytime TV dramas.
David P. Phillips of the Uni
versity of California at San
Diego also said Monday that fat
al car crashes increase after tele
vision suicides and his study in
dicates these wrecks may be dis
guised suicides.
The findings are based on a
computer survey of health statisr
tics and newspaper summaries
of 13 attempted or successful
suicides in soap opera episodes,
said Phillips, whose study will
appear in Thursday’s edition of
the American Journal of
Sociology.
Phillips conceded the evi
dence is too preliminary to jus
tify undue concern about con
tent of the daytime shows, and
he said the correlation may be a
statistical illusion since there is
no way of knowing whether the
real-life suicide victims ever
watched soap operas.
His study found city-dwelling
women are the most likely to try
to kill themselves in the event of
a fictional suicide on a television
soap.
He claims in the article that
his study “presents the first sys
tematic evidence that violent,
fictional television stories trig
ger imitative deaths (suicides)
and near-fatal accidents in the
United States.”
Phillips suggested many soap-
opera viewers strongly identify
with their video favorites, as
attested to by the amount of mail
received by the fictional charac
ters offering advice as if the soap
operas were real life.
The computer survey was
based on 1977 records from the
National Center for Health Sta
tistics and the California High
way Patrol.
