Hollywood: All Suffer For Acts Of Few Maureen O’Hara, the movie actress, says she was abroad and can prove it, on the date Confidential maga zine said she was pitching torrid woo with Latin lover on a rear row of Grauman's Chinese Theater in histi ionic old Hollywood, Calif. Confidential is on trial for criminal libel on an allega tion that it stretched the truth in reporting the private liv es of many motion picture celebrities. Miss O’Hara has a million-dollar slander suit in the mill against the maga zine. If Miss O’Hara can prove sire was indeed far away from Hollywood on the date of the alleged occurance she will have struck a potent blow against the defendant magazine, but whether she will be able to get her million dollars out of it, even with a judgment, is a horse of a very different color. In the meantime the lurid details being revealed to the public in the records of the libel trial are appealing to the same kind of public taste which made Confidential magazine a profitable venture. Its publishers hit a gold mine in a manure heap and even if the trial does prove that cruel untruths were print ed against members of the motion picture profession, the whole sordid business has in it a distinct lesson for the movie people. They should remember that their frequent marital interchanges, their own lurid divorce proceedings against one another, their almost studied defiance of convention, set the stage for the Confidential situation. Perhaps those actors and actresses responsible for the situation represent a rather small minority; of the whole profession. We certainly hope so. But in the proportion in which the industry as a whole continues to retain and exploit those who disregard convention, in that proportion all will have to suffer for the antics of the few. On Civil Rights Bill Demos Consider GOP Compromise WASHINGTON (UP)- Speaker Sam Rayburn said to day Democratic leaders are giving “serious consideration” to a new Republican civil rights compromise plan. He said he still hopes a bill can be enacted at this session of Cong ress. The Texas told newsmen he has no idea when Democrats will reach a decision on the GOP compromise jury trial plan. But he said they will make up their minds "as quickly as possible.” "We are going to give serious consideration,” Rayburn said. "That doesn’t mean we are ready to accept it in toto, or what parts of it. We haven’t had all the ses sions necessary to reach a proper conclusion on this compromise or another.” Judge’s Choice The GOP proposal, advanced Wednesday in a new effort to break the stalemate on civil rights legislation, would give a federal judge discretion whether to grant jury trial in criminal contempt cases involving violation of court orders to protect voting rights. But if the judge refused to grant a jury trial, he could not impose a penalty exceeding a $300 fine and 90 days in jail. Rayburn said House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. still has not approached him about the compromise. But he said he is "ready to receive” Martin at any time. Martin told newsmen he would consider it “presumptuous” for him to call on the speaker about the compromise. But Rayburn answered today it would be “not in the least pre sumptuous” for Martin or any other House member to discuss this or any other matter with him. Sign of Break Rayburn said he got a copy of the compromise plan “through a newspaper person.” He said it was a "dim carbon copy" at that. Asked whether he wanted re - porters to deliver any reply to Martin, Rayburn said he pre - sumed they would see that Martin learned of his statement. Rayburn’s statement was the first indication of a possible break in the two-week-old House stale mate on the civil rights bill. GOP leaders said their com - promise would put “some teeth” in the Democratic plan guarantee ing jury trials in all voting rights contempt cases, and speed up procedure for handling contempt cases. Scandal (Continued from Pag:# One seeution or defense will call her to testify as to the truth or falsity of the Confidential story. She Fights Hack Unlike many celebrities caught up in the case, Maureen is fight ing back. ‘‘I am ready and anxious to testify that the story is not true,” she blazed. "I was not in the country—and can prove ft on the night I was supporsed to have been in Grauman's Theater." Maureen who celebrated her 37th birthday this week, became an American citizen back in 1946. She was born in Dublin, the daughter of Charles and Marguer ite Fitzsimon, the eldest of six children. She lias three sisters and two brothers. Her first professional job came at the age of 12 when she ap peared on a radio program. By the time she was 14 Maureen had gained considerable recognition for her work in the famous Burke Dramatic School. As a Hollywood starlet in 1941 she divorced her first husband. George Browne. She had left him in England the day after they were married. Two years ago the actress made headlines when her second hus band, William H. Price, acused her of carrying on a romance with Mexican businessman Enric Parra. Maureen won the court battle when Price withdrew his accusa tion and she was permitted to re tain custody of their 13-year-old daughter, Bronwyn. Miss O’Hara refuses to express an opinion of Confidential, saying only: "I feel disgusted, not only as a movie personality but as a private citizen.” SETS NEW MARK MEMPHIS. Tenn.

A II \ IE i DAILY RECORD CARTOON BY SUSAN BLACK Wants Congress To Pass Resolution Billy Asks Ike's Help IN fj W X UKK ( Ur)—Billy Graham called Wednesday night on President Eisen hower to take extraordinary steps to "warn the Ameri can people of the dangers of moral decadence.” He Raid that before Congress adjourns, ‘‘they should pass a unanimous resolution, calling up on the American people to repent of sin and turn to God.” The 38-year-old evangelist made these recommendations in a com mentary on “what is taking place in a Los Angeles courtroom,” the Confidential magazine scandal trial. He did not mention the ma gazine by name. He said that one factor about the trial that disturbed him was "that our laws are so lenient as to allow the scandal magazines... to be sold in almost very part of the United States.” "This is carrying freedom of the press too far,” he told an audience of 16,000 in Madison Square Garden. "Our young po ple are being offered a diet of unbelievable dirt and filth. No wonder our morals are at an all time low! No wonder our teen - agers are on a rampage this summer!” The thing about the trial that worries him most, Graham said, is "that the American people should buy this type of literat ture.” “This is a terrible commentary on American morals, habits and ideals,” he said. "It is shocking the entire world.No American who buys this type of literature can point a self-righteous finger at anyone in Hollywood. We as a nation who buy it are guilty. “Jesus did not condemn the woman taken in adultery, but viciously and scathingly condemn ed the Pharisees who pointed their self-righteous fingers at her. The real problem is with the millions of Americans who get a vicarious thrill out of reading this risque and indecent literature.” He said it was unfortunate that “people in the limelight should live such a life" as to wind up in sensational “exposes," for “they should accept their positions of prominence as a grave respon sibility to be a clean, honest and loyal Christian American.” SWIM POSTPONED BELFAST, Northern Ireland (HI_ Veteran distance swlmmmer Flor ence Chadwick, of San Diego, Cal ifornia, today postponed for two weeks her attempt to swim the Irish Channel.

This survey will be used to demon strate need for the housing in the Erwin area to the appropriate gov ernment officials. Miriello said research head Sol Barkin had received the data and assured him ‘‘it will be compiled not in six op eight weeks like it normally would take, but will be done in two or three weeks.” “In the near future, we expect to make presentations to the FHA with our survey results and plans for the laid-out project—the land site and pictures of where the rtreets are and how lots are cut ap, sizes and so forth. That will be done within the next month to six weeks. “We understand from the FHA directors it will take six weeks to two months to get the okay." Present at the union conferenc es on the project at the Burling ton Hotel in Washington were two Southern chiefs of the textile workers.' Boyd Payton, Southern director, was there. So was Julius Fry, the area director.

Mrs. Grimes lived in a rambl ing, two—story frame home in a grove of pines dominating the rich tobacco farmlands owned by her husband’s prominent family.1 The estate is dotted with neat, small tenant homes and rows of tobacco barns connected by fenced lanes. Paul, father of two grown chil dren, lived in a tenant house not far from the Grimes home. Sheriff William D. Rumley dis closed Grimes’ statement that an “affair existed" between his wife and Paul but refused to give fur ther details. District Solicitor Walter Cahoon said prosecution of Grimes would be "an extremely difficult task’’ because of Grimes’ claims that sanctity of th? home was involved. He said, however, he intended to “prosecute this case just as conscientously as I can." He said it was “very likely” that Grimes would be charged with second de gree murder. Grimes, free under $10,000 bond, resigned Tuesday as county soli citor. He is expected to waive pre liminary hearing Friday and go on trial next month. Grimes is the grandson of Con federate Maj. Gen. Bryan Grimes, the victim of an unsolved ambush slaying. The family has been pro minent in Eastern North Carolina for a century. Defense attorneys indicated to day that plea of temporary insan ity will be the defense for J. D. (June) Grimes in the triangle pistol-slaying of a tenant farmer having an “affair” with Grimes’ wife. The state is expected to press second - degree murder charges against the 42-year - old former Beaufort County solicitor. Because of the slaying, Grimes resigned as solicitor and the county board of commissioners today appointed William Patrick Mayo, 30, to suc ceed him. Mayo, son of a former county solicitor and prominent attorney here, served on the state attorney general’s staff in Raleigh for two years prior to resuming law prac tice here last November.

The current estimate on what the memorial building will cost is approximately $290,000. The state of North Carolina has appropriat ed $25,000 to be used on the build ing and has given Harnett County legislative authority to appropri ate up to $20,000. Its backers hope that the bulk of the money can be raised by subscription among past and pre sent members of the Airborne for ces. “We are getting cooperation from the Army on this project,” said Bryan. "Appreciative letters on General Lee have included one expressing President Eisenhow - er’s interest, wishing all success, which was from his military aide.” Bryan, one of a number of mem bers of the corporation formed to make the Lee Memorial a suc cess, said he felt the town should know the amount of time and en ergy being spent by all these men —especially Louis Baer and Ray mond Cromartie. “They are spending a lot of time on it.” said Bryan, “and we really hope that it will come out lust as good as we have planned!” vas little chance, said Miriello, that “the one-price cotton bill” tv ill pass. “Chances of getting it out of rommittee are very slim,” said Miriello, “because not enough con stituents are writing their Cong ressman and letting him know their views. i It s a shame because Congress cannot act without constituents etting them know where they stand. This bill is of tremendous value to the textile industry be rcuse it would foreign textile men vould be paying the same price tor cotton as domestic.
