Around Hollywood

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

a dangerous weapon to assault

Frank Alderson said today.
Chocktoot is scheduled to enter

Sweet Home Bank
Employee Drowns
Sweet Home (U.R) A young
bank employee drowned in the
Calapooya river about 13 miles
southeast of here yesterday-evening
when he fell from a rock,
County Coroner Glenn Huston
reported.
The victim was Roy Peterman,
about 30, who is survived by his
widow, Grace and two young
children.
Houston said Peterman was
fishing with Harold Stanfield
of Portland. Stanfield heard
Peterman shout when he fell and
ran to the scene but was unable
to rescue him.
Peterman was employed by
the First National Bank here.
NO GAIN
Spokane, Wash. (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.
