News Of Ty Power's Death To Be Retained From Mom
HOLLYWOOD (AP)-Thc body
cf Tyrone Power will be interred
rear the crypt of Rudolph Valen
tino, but Power's mother, 70 and
111. won't be told of her son's
death.
"The news would kill her," a
maid said Tuesday.
The disclosure recalls the bene
volent family conspiracy that kept
the mother of crooner Russ Co
lombo ignorant of her son s death.
She died in 1944 unaware the
crooner accidentally had shot
himself 10 years before while ex
amining an old Civil War pistol.
Power's mother, who lives quiet
ly in a Hollywood home with a
nurse and a maid, suffered a
stroke several years aco. "We
don't have a radio in the house
and we only let her watch certain
programs on television," the maid
said.
Power, who died Saturday of a
heart attack on a movie location
in Spain, was a devoted son. He
visited his mother frequently
while in Hollywood and sent her
a constant flow of cards when
away.
The body of the 44-year-old act
or was scheduled to arrive by
plane tonight accompanied by his
widow, the former Debbie Ann Mi
nardos. She expects a baby in
February.
Funeral services were tentative
ly scheduled for Thursday noon.
However, a Catholic source here
said that it is doubtful Power can
he buried in the Catholic faith.
Although born and baptized a
Catholic, a source said. Pow
er automatically excommunicated
himself when he married the
lormer Mrs. Minardos, a divorcee
and the actor's third wife.
The church considers Power's
marriage to his second wife, act
ress Linda Christian, still a valid
marriage. His first marriage to
actress Annabella was not valid
in the eyes of the church.
Miss Christian arrived Tuesday
night from Paris and New York.

LINCOLN. Neb. (API-Prosecutors
and defense lawyers squared
off in final arguments today
preparatory to placing in a jury's
hands the fate of murder de
fendant Caril Ann Fugate.
The entire day was set aside

asked.
"No, he kissed me."

daughters, Romina Francesca.

Irom Mexico City where they had
been living with their grandmoth
er. The children have not been
told of their father's death.
Miss Christian said Power told
her last May that he had a heart
condition and then informed her a
few days later that the diagnosis
was incorrect.
She said she urged him to take
another examination but that he
indicated to her he would rather
not know.
The actress said she knew of an
insurance policy taken out by
Power through Lloyd's- of London
to provide continued payment of
her estimated million-dollar ali
mony settlement in their 1955 it-vorce.
Caril is charged on two counts 'William Dixon, former Converse

Slating Dignitary Shindig
Presents Quite A Problem
By BOB THOMAS
AP Motion Picture Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) How do
you converse with a queen? Can
a princess dance with movie stars?
Where does royalty sit in a ball
room?
These are some of the hundreds
of issues a group of Hollywood
matrons have been wrestling with
lor the past three months. The
climax of their struggle comes this
Saturday night when the local
chapter of WAIF, the international
child adoption society, presents its
annual imperial ball. Their guests:
Queen Krcderika and Trincess
Sophia of Greece.
You don't just ask a queen to
dinner and let it go at that. Ac
tress Coleen Gray, local WAIF
president, found that out.
"Everything has to be planned
down to the smallest detail," she
explained. "We have consulted the
Stale Department. We have read
15 etiquette books. We. have con
sulted the queen's grand waitress
de la court.
"So far we have had only one
goof. We sent out the invitations
reading Her Majesty rrederika.
Queen of Greece." The State De
nartment said that would be all
right, rather than 'Queen of the
Hellenes which people might not
understand. The court reminded
us of the correct title. At least the
State Department shared in our
goof.
Colecn's struggle began last
.June. The Chrysler Corp. agreed
to co-sponsor the ball if the WAIF
ladies could secure a bona fide
member of royalty as guest. Co
leen and her aides worked 12 hours
composing a letter to Queen Fred
erika. It was sent according to
proper procedure through the
American ambassador in Athens.
Weeks, months went by and no
answer came. After repeated ca
bles, the word finally returned:
Yes. the ball would coincide nice
ly with the Queen's unofficial visit
to the U. S.
Then the work began. Coleen
said. "We had to find out how to
do everything."
She had to (ind out U the Queen
would dance. The answer was no.
Would the princess like to dance?
Yes? How would the dancing
start? The princess would dance
alone on the floor with the leading
dignitary, presumably Gov. Good
win Knight. Could she dance with
movie stars or would she prefer
civic figures? Movie stars would
he all right if they were "commc
modern Greek history on the un
likely chance that the Queen might
want to talk about same. Despite
the hubbub, Coleen admits to en
joying it.
"I'm just a farm girl from Min
nesota," she said dreamily. "Im
agine me sitting next to the
Queen!"
made the statement in a speech
prepared for the opening of the
-National Conference on Air Pollu
tion.
Foul air originally was caused
largely b burning of coal in
homes and industry, Leake said,
but now scientific studies show
half of air pollution comes from
motor engine exhaust.
"In addition to eye and respira
tory irritation, the increasing in
cidence of lung cancer is quite as
referable to increased city traffic
exhausts as to cigarettes," he
said.
"When are the auto and truck
manufacturers going to turn from
the foolishness of fins, from silly
style whims, from oversized mod
els and from too much horsepower
to the essential but tough job of
controlling exhausts?" ,
In another prepared talk, Dr.
Herman Hilleboe, New York State
health commissioner, also pointed
to motor vehicles as a main
source of air pollution.
He said there were 66,400.000 of
them on the nation's highways last
year as compared with 40,600,000
in 1948.
The conference was called by
U.S. Surgeon General Leroy E.
Burney. More than 70 air pollu
tion specialists, civic leaders and
representatives of industrial and
governmental agencies dealing
with air pollution are participating
in the three day sessions.
The Public Health Service hopes
the participants will agree on a
10-year plan to fight air pollution.
Dr. Leake said nuclear weapons
testing also is a "potentially very
dangerous sort of air pollution, in
volving all living things."
"One need only spend a few
hours in California or Nevada to
recognize the growing public ap
prehension over radiation fallout,"
he said.

LTI Women's Editor
NEW YORK (UPP-Most girls
dream of the glamour that goes
with a movie career. To Susan
Hayward, who made some of
iilmdom's biggest hits and big
gest headlines, the life was one
of being "m a cage.
The red-haired actress desert
ed Hollywood two years ago.
when she married F. Eaton Chal
key, a Carrollton, Ga., lawyer
and automobile dealer. The cou
ple now lives on a 200-acYe farm
some 50 miles southwest of At
lanta.
She has no intention of return
ing, except to fill a few more
movie commitments. When those
are finished, will she quit the
movies for keeps?
' That s the general idea, said
Miss Hayward. in an interview.
'Hollvwood was like living in
a cage. I always felt on exhibit . . .
like a traveling piece ot art.
Miss Hayward s private lite ot-
ten splashed her name across
front pages. In April of 1955, she
took an overdose of sleeping pills
in what police called a suicide at
tempt. In November of the same
ear. actress Jit Jarmyn cnargea
Miss Hayward with attacking her
with a hairbrush and lighted cig
arette when Miss Jarmyn walked
in unannounced on a paiama-clad
Hayward and actor Donald Barry.
And her divorce battle with
Jess Barker, the actor, was a bit
terly contested one, although she
eventually won custody of their
twin sons, Timothy and Gregory.
"What's done is done. . .it's all
past," the actress said today.
"All that helped to sell newspa
pers." I asked her whether such head
lines also helped "sell" movie
stars.
"Touche," she answered, and
smiled.
The actress, born Edythe Mar
rener in Brooklyn, went to Holly
wood while still a teen-ager, as
one of the many unsuccessful
candidates for the Scarlett
O'Hara role in "Gone With the
Wind."
But eventually Walter Wanger
signed her to play opposite Dana
Andrews in the Universal Inter
national "Canyon Passage." She
since has made a number of box
office hits and been nominated
four times for an Oscar.
She is perhaps best known for
her "lost woman" roles the dip
somaniac in "Smash Up," Lillian
Roth in "I'll Cry. Tomorrow."
In town for the premier of her
newest film, "I Want to Live."
she commented that "the other
women weren't really lost. The
one I play in this picture is." Sh
plays the role of Barbara
Graham, the adult delinquent who
went to the San Quentin gas
chamber in 1955.
What of her life now, as a farm
wife?
"Well, it's hardly two acres,"
said the star. "We have a lake
instead of a swimming pool. I'm
usually in either jeans or riding
clothes. There's none of that Ho,
lywood tension. . .no big problems
that have to be settled bang,
bang. And to the boys, I'm now
mamma, not a movie star alwayt
rushing off someplace."
"I've been informed, to my Sur
prise, that I've also developed, a.
southern accent, she saidA
"That's quite a switch froitr
Brooklvnese. So have my boys. . .
they're now 13 and in Georgia
Military Academy, iney recKon
quite a bit.
'Mv hushand sun introduces
me as a Yankee. But I'm such
a convert, I think we should
have won the war."
