Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor's note: Aline Mnsbv Is on vacation. Today's curst column Is by Teresa Wright on her adventures In surnnc in "The Search for Bndey Murphy." BY TERESA WRIGHT Written for United Press Hollywood (U.Ri During World War II there was an ex pression, "Oh, my achin' back." I heard soldiers originated it from long hikes with full packs. ' But I didn't have sympathy for their plight until I did "The Search for Bridey Murphy." Neve? has an actress taken such a back-beating. . This Is the story about Colo- minutes J to jX Klamath Falls O plus lax rado housewife Ruth Simmons who allegedly was "age regress ed" to another life in 18th Cen tury Ireland by hypnosis. I had to lie flat on my back for almost six weeks while Louis Hayward went through his hypnotic rou tine. The first three days on the couiu -tie line. I went home every night j-estcd. But after that, it was murder. I had enough aches for two or three backs. I complained and Par mount's prop men had several snT'pi oiUows made up, firm enough not to let me sink down. ' iuey ' was the most de manding picture I've ever made. Can you imagine having to act 90 per cent of a picture with your eyes closed? Hayward would pretend to hypnotize me and then the camera would move in close as I told, in an Irish brogue, about my life in Belfast. Knowing that the camera was several inches from the end of my nose, I always had the temp tation to open my eyes and look into the lens. It was dis concerting having to emote in the darkness! Expressions Practiced I practiced facial expressions in front of a mirror, putting on a look of joy, or of anger or fear. Then I'd turn around and repeat them in front of my daughter, Mary, with my eyes closed. . Anger was the tough one, Mary said, "Mother, with your eyes closed, you don't look angry. You look silly!" To make it more difficult, I had to assume the voices of the "age regressed" Bridey. I had to talk like Bridey as a four year old, at 8. 17, and 66. I got the voices mixed up several times. Once I used the 66-year-old voice for Jhe eight year -old Bridey and didn't realize it. Mrs. FDR Sees Ike's Health To Be Avoided New York U.PJ Mrs. El eanor Roosevelt predicted today that the question of President Eisenhower's health "probably will be carefully avoided" by both political parties in the coming election. The 71-year-old former First Lady, who has attended political conventions "ever since I can re member," will address delegates to the Democratic convention in Chicago on Monday night. "I would not really call it a speech," Mrs. Roosevelt said. Four years ago she got a stirring ovation when she appeared to speak at the Democratic con vention. "I will say just a few words. Four years ago I spoke for the United Nations." She felt health would be shun ned by Democrats and Republi cans alike in their campaign, Mrs. Roosevelt said in an inter view, "because the people are more concerned about that than the political parties are." Plywood Industry Shutdowns Forecast Portland (U.R) Possible shut downs in the plywood industry were forecast today after a new record low bid was reported. A new S68 level on the quarter-inch AD index grade was re corded in bidding on the latest Army Engineers' order for about two million square feet.

The low bid was submitted by Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Industry spokesmen said that S76 is the break-even mark for many operators and some sources said the new low price could mean shutdowns.
