(International Soundphoto) Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent 1 Hollywood U.R Dick Powell and Jane Allyson are starting one of Hollywood's most '1 ticklish proj ects: The re make of that favorite screen classic, "It Happened One Night." The Powells, as further de nial of those recent separa- ' Aline Mosby t i o n rumors, are working together for the first time in their 10-year mar riage. The ex-crooner is producing and directing a musical version of the old picture, June taking Claudette Colbert's role and Jack Lemmon in the old Clark Gable part. Powell admits he'll have the fans of the 1934 version to an swer to. "If my picture's good they'll say I had a good picture to copy to begin with," he said. "If it's bad, they'll say what's that idiot trying to prove?" Famous Scenes The two most famous scenes of "It Happened One Night" when Miss Colbert hitched a ride from Gable, and when they hung a "Walls of Jerrico" blanket be tween their beds will be kept in the musical version. Tune smith Johnny Mercer is com posing songs for those scenes. But producer-director Powell Is altering the story in other ways. "In the original, the heroine's rich father was a New York banker. That's kind of tired now. In my movie he's a cattle and oil man from Houston, Tex.," he explained. "Then the bus ride in the old picture was from Miami to New York. But that scenery's been filmed before. I scouted loca tions in the South took an actual- bus ride and our camera will show the route from Miami to Houston." New Audience Some movie-makers try to cover up re-makes. But Powell bravely says he'd like "to spend all my life re-making those good old movies." "They have a new audience today," he said. "I ran 'It Happened One Night' the other day and it's great. Except acting styles have changed. Claudette was so coy and Gable talked as if he had glue in his teeth." Powell's office in Columbia Studio is lined with candid pho tographs he's shot of his wife, a hobby that seems like a post man's walking holiday for both. The actor-turned-director has wanted "to work with my wife for some time." "I was going to take the Gable part," he said as he in spected the still gallery. "But we decided it would be hard to separate 10 years of personal publicity about our marriage and try to be a romantic team." Klamath Beating Charge Reduced Klamath Falls, Ore. (U.R) A charge against Royd Chocktoot, 55-year-old Beatty laoorer, in connection with the beating of Watson Duffy, 82-year-old Klam ath reservation resident, has been reduced from assault with a dangerous weapon to assault and battery, District Attorney Frank Alderson said today. Chocktoot is scheduled to enter a plea next Monday. mum BEWARE OF IMITATIONS LOOK FOR THE HAPPY UTTUDOG TOPS IN QUALITY!

(U.R) George Crispin put out a rubbish fire that threatened his garage and congratulated himself for having saved the fire depart ment a run. But a few minutes later he called firemen. He had hung the sweater used to smo ther the rubbish fire in the ga rage. Sparks from the sweater set the building ablaze. Bock Stars: Evacuation Long Planned By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Writer Emereencv White House (U.R) Backstairs at the Secret White House: " President Eisenhower's parti cipation in the emergency evac uation of Washington is part of a plan that actually started buil ding when the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Federal officials realized then in 1945 that if this country could drop an A-bomb on another na tion, it would be only a matter of time before other nations pos sessed the same capability. Whereupon admittedly sketchy plans were drafted for the evac uation of President Truman from the White House. Each succeeding year the pres idential evacuation and re-location plans were re-studied and an attempt was made to keep pace with changing interna tional conditions. It was not un til the Eisenhower administra tion took office, however, that plans for a test evacuation took active form. One of the first major chang es under this administration was the insistence of the Eisenhower staff that the President, if forced to leave Washington, must be accompanied by a group of se lected reporters, photographers and radio-television personnel. The "pool" with the President here today consists of 12 men, including six reporters, four photographers and two sound engineers. Basic reason for the existence of the pool coverage: In event of a real attack, when the Pres ident must set up shop outside of Washington, Press Secretary James C. Hagerty thinks it would be most reassuring to the American public and the world to have independent and visual evidence of the Chief Execu tive's well-being and his con tinued presence at the helm of government. , Under the Truman evacuation plans, no provision was made for reporters to accompany the Pres ident if he had to be whisked out of town. Limited news of his whereabouts and activities would have been broadcast to the public by well-known radio personalities. The Eisenhower administra tion, while not abandoning the plan of having these well-known voices used in event of an em ergency, regarded it as far from a complete answer and certain ly no substitute for the presence of seasoned newsmen and photo graphers well-known to the White House staff and thorough ly grounded in the conduct of the presidency. One aspect of the "voice" plan worried the civil defense plan ners it might be easy for the enemy to mimic the voice of, for example, Arthur Godfrey of Ed ward R. Murrow. After all, night club mimics have been making a living for years impersonating the voices of famous people. The White House pool of re porters heretofore had operated only in tent drills during which Mr. Eisenhower went to the air raid shelter beneath the grounds of the executive mansion. Even this was a "first" for this ad ministration. During the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, report ers and photographers were sent to an underground file room which would have been fine pro tection from slingshot pellets. Chances are that the President would make little use of the White House shelter even in event pi a real war. If the radar early warning system function ed, the 'White Ronse would know of impending danger hours be fore enemy bombers could reach the nation's capital. And the President would be sped to a relocation center such as the one where he is today long before the bombs dropped.
