JUNE ALLYSON SETS NEW TV SERIES FOR HUSBAND By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD 1 1 I'll June Allyson, who . hasn't worked for l'i years, begins a new TV se ries this week working for her husband, Dick Powell. The actress with the husky low voice will appear as hostess and part-time actress on a dramatic anthology series titled, fittingly. "The June Allyson Show" which beams next Sept. 21. How does June feel about working under the supervision of her husband? - "Richard is my boss at home, so I don't mind having him for a boss at the studio." junie - p.e smiled. "I realize, thouali, I won't get any six-eial treatment from. him. Just Another Actress "During woiking hours I'm just another actress. Come to think of it, he doesn't treat me as well. The other girls get to choose their own dressing rooms. Richard picked mine out for me." She will star in 9 of the 32 CBS-TV shows and will intro duce all of them, something akin to Powell's chores on his "Zane Grey Theater." His company. Four Star Pro ductions, is lining up the best possible talent for Julie. "Hctte Davis already has completed one segment, Ann Harding will co star with the Allyson girl on the season's opener. "I've been badgering Richard to appear on the program, but he said I'd have to come up with a great script," she said. Blarres Overwork Asked why she had disappeared from public view for 18 months, June blamed overwork. I'd complete one movie and Gvil Rights Bill Approved By Committee WASHINGTON UTli A new civil rights bill was approved to day by the Senate constitutional rights subcommittee. The measure would keep the President's Civil Rights Commis sion alive until Jan. 31. and requires that federal election rec ords be preserved and surrendered for examination The next step for the bill is the Senate Judiciary Committee, where southern members are ex pectcd to give it tough sledding. Other congressional news: Contracts: A House armed ser vices subcommittee charged that Navy ofticials must have been "incompetent or deliberately care less" in negotiating a dozen or so government more than 12 million dollars. Rep. Porter Hardy Jr. iD-Va.i said the situation is "a reflection all the way up to the secretary of the Navy Housing: Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn.) urged that Congress override President Eisenhower's veto of the housing bill. He said Eisenhower's action was "unwar ranted and unreasonable," and that the vetoed bill "represents in my mind the minimum mcas- then go right into another one. 1 1 ure that the Congress can ac- wasn't seeing anything of the children or my husband.

Naturally, I'll be om pared with Loretta Young and Jane Wyman, who did the same thing. I just hope I'm as success ful and good on TV as they are." cept." The President rejected the bill because he considered some of its spending provisions exces sive. Defense: A House-Senate confer ence committee was set up to study two versions of the defense budget. Senators Do More Talking But Nobody Can Hear Them By FRANK ELEAZER UPI Staff! Writer WASHINGTON ITI - It is generally conceded that U.S. sen ators talk more, and are heard less, than the members of any other legislative body. There was hop? something ::s about to 'ie done about this. No curb ever was thought like ly on the senators' wordage, ot course. But serious consideration was giveif by Senate leaders to installing an amplifying system so visiting taxpayers could hear what the lawmakers were saying Sen. Alexander Wiley ilt-Wis. reminded the Senate just the other day that nothing has come of this. And it looks now like nothing will, at least not anytime soon. ' Senators have been polled by the rules committee on whether microphones and amplifiers should be installed in the Senate. One third voted aye. One third voted no. One third said maybe so. muybe not. Makes Own Decision ' So the rules committee has made its own decision, sort of No public address system will be installed in the Senate unless it's the best in the world. The $2fi.(HJ0 system recently proposed by the Capitol architect the same system which House mem bers. for years, have found rea sonably satisfactory wasn't near good enough, it was ruled. So now they have ordered a "study." And I guess this means that 20-20 vision, plus lipreading ability, will continue a principal Hope Planning Benefit Show , LONDON l UPI i Bub Hope is breaking his take-it-easy pledge to do a benefit performance lor English orphans next week. Hope, 5t. went to Europe for a long rest to ease eye trouble which doctors kuid was caused by overwork. He was threatened with blindness in his left eye from a blood clot and suffered dizzy SH'IS. Only two months ago, I!oe said he would have to give up his lile- long practice of appearing in char- ipquircment for reporters trying to cover the Senate. Wiley noted that those in the press and public galleries aren't the only ones who often can't hear a word of what's said in the Senate. He said the members can't hear each other, and that things lately have gotten so bad they often can't even catch the oiK'inng prayer by the chaplain. Cti't Mitt Prayer Although Wiley didn't press this point any further, his implication wus clear that if they don't hear anything else, the senators can't alliird to be left out on the prayer. Senate debute often consists of a private chat between two mem bers standing three feet apart, and what got Wiley worked up this time was that so often the two members are Sens. Lyndon B. Johnson (D Tex.l and Everett McKinley Dirksen lR-111.1. Except when he gets his dander up about something, Johnson is among the better known whisper ing senators. Dirksen usually ad dresses the Senate in the soft, pcarshaped tones of a senior part ner in an old and dignified firm of undertakers. Shocks Senate Wiley sits right behind Dirksen and if he can't hear the ex changes between the two leaders J it stands to reason the HO or so senators further removed from the posts of command might as well have remained in their of fices. Some of them, it turned out the other day, have been doing just that, though not intentionally. This was brought to light by Sen. Barry Uoldwater (R-Arit.), who shocked Senate sensibilities by in terrupting a roll call on the TVA bill to pose a parliamentary in quiry. Goldwatcr said the bells by which senators live weren't func tioning in the new office building. He wondered what would be the parliamentary situation when a senator failed to answer the roll call because he wasn't warned by the bells that a vote was in progress. Sen. B. Everett Jordan ID- Observer, La Grande, Or., Thors., July 16, 1959 Peg 11 N.O, who was presiding, minded Goldwater that one does not interrupt Senate roll calls for anything, least of all a parlia mentary inquiry. Reopens Question The voting continued, und when it was done. Sen. Frank J. Lausche tI)-Ohio reopened the question. He said the bell didn't ring in his office, and that he missed the roll call. What was his status, he wanted to know. "The chair is informed by the parliamentarian," Jordan replied, "that that question is not ger mane to the issue. It's a matter for the electrician." So the bill was passed, a facJ of which most of the ear-strainers present probably weren't aware until they read it next day in the Congressional Record.
