July 23, 1957 San Diego is playing host to national CBS television star Arthur Godfrey, who will do his shows from a variety of places around town during the next two weeks. Tomorrow he’ll broadcast from a Navy ship in San Diego Bay and the show will be aired at 2:30 in the afternoon on channel 8. Godfrey and many of his staff boarded a Navy LSM early this morning... television cameras were mounted at strategic locations... and with the ship cruising around the bay, Godfrey, and fear Admiral Chester C. Wood of the amphibious base, described activities. A Martin Marlin seaplane takeoff was shown...fireboats spraying water high into the air, welcoming home four destroyers from a six-month cruise of far eastern waters. As submarines, landing craft, fishing boats and other craft shuttled back and forth, Godfrey and the admiral gave a running description of the changing scene. One of the highlights was this mock ditching of the Marlin seaplane, which the LSM passed almost too close for comfort. The hour and a half long show, which was broadcast two thirty in the afternoon over Channel Eight, was climaxed with Godfrey being lifted into a helicopter to be carried back to shore. Arthur will be in town another week and tonight will appear in the California Story which starts its run at Balboa Stadium.
