Van Doren Boosts
TV Winnings to
$122,000 on ‘21’
NEW YORK, {JO—Charles Var
Doren, a $4,400-a-year Englisl
instructor at Columbia Univer
sity, Monday night boosted his
winnings to $122,000 on NBC’s
TV program “Twenty-One.”
He entered Monday’s competi
tion againsl two opponents as the
biggest money winner on televi
sion quiz programs by virtue of
finishing last week’s contest with
$104,500. Five persons had shared
the old rceord with winnings of
$100,000 on- the “Big Surprise.”
Van Doren, a 30-year-old bach
elor, has until Feb. 11 to decide
whether he’ll try to increase his
winnings. There is no limit. A
special show will replace “Twen
ty-One” next week, giving Van
Doren an extra week to think it
over.
Taxes will prevent Van Doren
from keeping the bulk of his win
nings. Experts said the lion’s
share of his present winings, be
tween $80,000 and $90,000, will
be lost to taxes.

is faint but still easily seen and
makes a good addition to the
figure. Without them, the con
stellation might well have repre
sented something other than a
giant.
An interesting optical illusion
occurs when the moon is among
these stars. The big, round full
face of the moon actually passes
