a s t 8A' WAft. TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, May 21, 1958 p. , " Coleman Had Planned Return To England Prior to Death Santa Barbara, Calif.- 3c -who knew suave, debo gir Ronald Colman personal ly and through his long acting career were saddened by the death of the veteran, 67-year-old stage and screen star. Colman, whose whimsical touch and clipped accent made him famous in his 30 year career, died Monday at St. Francis hospital of a virus lung infection. Death ended the gray hairld actor's plans to return to his native England next month. "It will be wonderful to see England again," Colman told friends recently. "Conditions have improved so much. The theater is marvelous and it will be a delight to show Juliet (his daughter) some of the places we used to know." He planned to enroll the 13-year-old miss in school at Lau sanne, Switzerland. Colman's wife, Benita, and Dr. George TJlrich were at his bedside when death came. He had been hospitalized the day be . fore with a recurrence of a virus infection he had fought for 18 months. Funeral services will be conducted for the handsome actor Wednesday afternoon at All Saints by the Sea chapel in Montecito. Colman, his wife, the for mer Benita Hume, an ex-British music hall star, and his daughter have lived for years at Montecito, about 90 miles from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. For the past 18 months, the i star had been in semi-reure- ment and was determined not to do another movie unless it added to his stature or was "a lot of fun." Colman's long career, which included appearances on the London stage in 1916 in a se ries of plays and a screen de but there in 1917, was cli maxed when he received an I and talkie. Academy Award as the best actor of 1947 for his role in "A Double Life." The star, a dashing leading man until his switch to the role as a middle-aged profes sor on TV's "Halls of Ivy" in 1953, appeared in more than 100 movies in his career which spanned silent films Jeff Chandler Rated AsTopBasebairNut' Young Trujillo Declares Love Hollywood (If) Lt. Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr., head of the Dominican Republic Air Force, took on the mantle to day of his fellow countryman, Porfirio Rubirosa, as the play boy of the international set. Trijillo, 29, son of the Domi nican strongman, declared his love for actress Kim Novak Monday night on a television program. "Yes, I'm in love with Kim," he told interviewer Paul Coates, and" indicated he plan ned to pursue his romance with the blonde actress after he finishes his military stud ies at the U.S. Army general staff school at Ft. Leaven worth, Kan., later this year. Trujillo said he met Kim through Zsa Zsa Gabor. He was introduced to Miss Gabor by. Rubirosa, he said. By VERNON SCOTT United Press Correspondent Hollywood OP! Number one baseball nut in the movie colony is rugged Jeff Chand ler who follows the fortunes of the San Francisco Giants with the enthusiasm of a small boy glued to a knothole. Whenever possible the gray haired actor vhies off to Giant games, climbs into uniform and works out with the ball players. "In the pre-game warmup I play catch with the guys, bat fungos, and mess around in infield practice," Chandler said. "I haven't moved into batting practice yet. Not in good enough shape. "The players get a kick out of it, and it's a real means of relaxation for me. "Most of the fans have no idea that an actor is out on the field, and I'd just as soon keep it that way. A lot of pub licity could make me look pretty hokey." Though he was born and raised in Brooklyn, Chandler has been a Giant fan since childhood. His Flatbush play mates thought he was an ec centric. But Jeff rode the sub way from Brooklyn to Man hattan at every opportunity despite the two-hour round trip. Giants Win Series "Those were the days of John McGraw, when the Giants were living high on the hog," he grinned. "Then in 1923 I was the happiest kid in the world. The Giants won the World championship. "I was almost as happy when the team moved to the coast: My close association with the Giants began in 1955 the last year that Leo Duro cher managed them. Leo in vited me to Phoenix for spring training." Since then Chandler has al most been a member of the club. When his movie commit ments allow, he flies to San Francisco to watch his heroes perform. "The round trip is still about two hours, but that nickel subway fare has jump ed to $44 for plane tickets," he observed. "When I'm in the East and the Giants are playing a game in a nearby city I somehow manage to get over to watch them in action. "It's been a long-time dream of mine to star in a baseball picture. The big drawback is the box office. Only two baseball films ever made money 'Pride of the Yankees' and 'The Monte Stratton Story.' "Foreign countries aren't interested in American sports movies, and that's where pic tures have to make money these days." Chandler still regards the Dodgers as poison. He is hap py they have followed him West only because it gives him an opportunity to see the Giants more often. "I may be crazy," Jeff con cluded, "but I think that the Giants are going to win the pennant this year. All they need is another good pitcher and they're in." Bit parts: Tony Curtis has to learn to play the saxophone for his role in "Some Like It Hot." Actor George Montgom ery, husband of Dinah Shore, is a furniture designer and architect on the side. This week he was named "Wood master of the year" by the National Lumber Manufactur ers association. Only in Holly wood department: The MGM studio dentist recently left the lot to open an office close to Metro. During "opening week" of the new place he is dispensing pink champagne as a mouthwash. Mickey Roo ney, currently filming "Andy Hardy Comes Home," next will star in his own produc tion of "Go Home, Ulysses," a musical.

Milestone Finally Readied Monday On Colorado River Water Suit San Francisco OP) Anoth er milestone was reached Monday in the six-year-old legal battle over Colorado River water when Utah, the last state in the suit, rested its case but there's still plenty of road ahead.

Rif kind set July 1 as a tentative date for re opening the hearing for rebut tals, which he "hoped ' could be completed "by the end of the summer." The action was brought bv Arizona against California in 1952, but Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and the federal gov ernment entered into the case when it went to trial in 1956. Utah, the last party to pre sent its case, claimed 125.250 acre feet a year during Mon day s testimony. lister of Utah said the amount ultimately would supply 39,- 000 acres in Utah's "Dixie" in the southwest, including Iron Kane and Washington coun ties.

Callister's legal arguments were that Utah had rights to the Colorado because it used its waters to irrigate its lands since 1854 longer than any other state.
