New Position As Producer
Termed Exciting By Negro
: By BOB THOMAS
-HOLLYWOOD APi - Henry
Scott, who served with distinction
as a fichtcr pilot in World War
II, is finding success not only as
a movie actor, but as a writer,
director and producer in TV.
What's unusual about this?
.' Henry is a Nesro.
' lie's a handsome, articulate man
of 32, once a promising student of
the American Theater Wing and
the Actor's Studio. But Henry had
plenty of lean days before enjoy
tag his present success.

New Reactor

. IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP)-A
Oew type portable atomic reactor
was dedicated at the National
Reactor Testing Station Tuesday.
Officials promptly put It to prao
Heal use, substituting atomic pow

that had lighted the building nous
ing the new reactor.
known as the Argonno Low
Power Reactor, the new atomic
plant is the first working model
of a prototype designed for easy

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."

Sputnik III
To Fall Today
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. 'AP
The Puilman-car-sized rocket of
Sputnik HI was expected to burn
up and fall to the earth today.
Scientists at Smithsonian Astro
physical Observatory indications
were it would fall somewhere
between central Europe and the
Middle East.
The rocket has been orbiting
since it fired Sputnik III into orbit
last May 15. Sputnik itself is ex
pected to continue circling the
globe for another year because
its more compact shape oilers less
atmospheric drag.
Smithsonian scientists said prob
ably very little would remain of
the carrier rocket as it hit the
earth since it would burn
through friction on entering
cartli's atmosphere.

Nine Passengers Injured

AURORA, Ore., AP'-A Grey
hound bus Tuesday night veered
off a highway near here, climbed
up an embankment and then hit
a power po'e.
Nine of the 21 passengers were
hospitalized. The others all com
plained of being shaken up.
The driver of the bus was Rob
ert L. Barnett, about 50, of Eu
gene. He was not hurt.
When police asked Barnett
about the cause of the accident,
he replied:
"I can't explain it. I might have
been blinded by the light. I've
been on the route almost 30
years."
State police said the bus failed
to negotiate a curve, and shot off
the road. Eleven feet from the
pavement, it hit the 5-foot-high
embankment, and climbed to its
top.
After striking the power pole
atop the sloping bank, the bus
came to a stop. No power lines
were knocked down.
The door of the bus was readily
opened, but state police said the
vehicle's awkward, tilted position
made it difficult to remove the
injured.
