Chief Asked To Aid Scribe AUSTIN, Tex. (API-President Eisenhower has been asked to write a happy ending to the lilc story of author 0. Henry, who served a prison term for embez zlement. The Texas Heritage Foundation appealed to the President Tuesday to grant a full pardon for the famed short slory writer. 0. Henry, whose real name was William Sydney Porter, served a five-year sentence after being con victed 60 years ago of embezzling $854 08 from an Austin bunk. He died in into at the age of 48. Paul Wakefield, foundation pres ident, said in a telegram to Eisen hower: "While he stands convict ed under Hie records of federal court 60 years ago, there exists today abundant proof of his inno cence and of his convict ion purely on circumstantial evidence." . The author's widow, Mrs. Sara Coleman Porter, lives at Weaver ville, N.C. and grew up in Jersey City. A bright student, he won a chance .c train as a fighter pilot with a pioneering all-Negro squadron that won honors in the Mediterranean. He won the Air Medal with seven battle stars. Henry had had a taste of dra matics in Jersey City, and he wanted to try his hand at acting when he returned. He was lucky at first, being cast in such stage suc cesses as "Deep Arc the Koots," "Anna Lucasta" and "Member of the Wedding." But there were periods when he couldn't find work as an actor. "Then I took other jobs," he said. Two years ago, he decided to try his luck in Hollywood. His .uck has been good. He was signed lo re-create his stage role as the romantic lead in the film Anna Lucasta." And he hooked up with handy Howard Productions as writer-actor on Night Court. Now he's writer, actor, director and associate producer on Police Sta lion, which appears on a local sta Hon, and is being syndicated. On the matter of a Negro direct ing and producing TV shows, he had this to say! "I've found that I ve gotten along well on a per sonal basis.' I can tell that some people come in to work with me and have certain antagonisms But I . have found that through working together those antago nisms tend to disappear. 'As a Negro actor, I have cer tain limitations. There are just so many lobs for Negro actors be cause a sizable part of the popu- ation in certain areas won t ac .opt them. But as a director and producer, I find there are virtu ally no limitations for me, and I am excited about the future." DOORS OPFN 6:30 P.M. nTTTTTTan r fj!i.hiJiJ.i3rMI NOW PLAYING!
