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.

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.
