years to include members of the
opposition in foreign policy
decisions.

said employment is at record
levels, take-home pay is at an

'Sixteen Tons' Composer
Freed on Drunk Charge
Hollywood (U.R) Merle
Travis, composer of "Sixteen
Tons," was acquitted Monday of
a four-year old drunk charge in
Municipal Court.
Municipal Court Judge Julian
Beck said it was pointless to
convict a man on a charge that
old. Police gave no explanation
of why it was so long between
the filing of the charge and his
appearance in court.
Around Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
f i

Aline Mosb
Hollywood U.R Abbe Lane
came home from Rome with an
undercover report on .. Italian
warfare: Gina
L o 1 1 o brigida
and Sophia
Loren not only
feud with each
other but are
so jealous of
Abbe they
snub her.
V o luptuous
Abbe compiled
a dossier on
this sizzling
international plot while she was
making five movies in Rome.
When Hollywood producers
didn't do right by the Latin from
Manhattan (actually Brooklyn)
Abbe accepted overseas offers
and, according to her press clip
pings, has become Italy's third
big glamour star.
Abbe reported sadly today that
this did not set well with Gina
and Sophia.
'There were only these two
big glamour stars in Italy and
when I arrived well!" she said
as she curled up on a sofa in her
Brentwood home with her hus
band, Xavier Cugat.
Felt Snubbed
"I w.ant to be friendly with
the girls. I'm not one for petty
jealousies. But they avoid me. I
can't get close to them. Every
time we meet they stick their
noses in the air."
The highly-publicized feud be
tween Gina and Sophia is for
real, Abbe went on.
'They hate each other," the
red-haired singer said with a
shrug, which was dangerous as
she was wearing a black cardi
gan sweater opened to the waist,
plus black-and-white checked
slacks, very tight.
"Gina and Sophia are like
Pola Negri and Gloria Swan
son of the old days in Holly
wood. They have this terrible
battle of the chest. Some of the
dressmakers say one is padded,
others say the other wears pads.
It's ridiculous. They think if you
don't, stand out like a shelf
you're nothing!"
Avoids Battle
Abbe, of course, holds herself
aloof from such competition.
"That's so unimportant," she
sniffed. "A man looks at the
whole figure. I sing and dance
in my films in Italy. I just don't
do that earthy business."
Abbe sighed that when she
goes to film premieres in Rome,
Gina and Sophia won't go. So
phia agreed to drive in a sports
car event only after Abbe can
celled to return to Hollywood
so her husband could distribute
a color TV music series they
made in Rome.
"Even the male actors in Italy
are jealous of each other they
are worse than the women," she
said.
Abbe hopes to return to Holly
wood for a picture next year
but only if producers here offer
her "something else besides play
ing Indian girls."
"One of my Italian films with
Peter Ustinov is at the Cannes
Film Festival and I'm doing a
film next with Vittorio De Sica,"
she said. "When I can get good
roles like that why should I
cwne back here to play an In
dian? In Rome they give me the
kind of parts Rita Hayworth
plays."
