People in the news Hope to maintain Yuletide tradition

HOLLYWOOD (AP) Bob Hope will be making his usual holiday appearance for the nation’s servicemen and women, but he’ll be home in Palm Springs for Christmas Day. The comedian, whose traditional overseas Christmas tours ended in 1972, plans to take a troupe to the Long Beach, Calif., Veterans Hospital Monday, visiting wards. Accompanying him will be his wife Dolores, Loni Anderson, Gloria Loring and Barbara McNair. The appearance will come just a day after Hope’s Christ mas special on NBC, which finishes production this weekend. The comedian has been waiting for actress Brooke Shields to finish school for the holidays before he could complete taping the special. Miss Shields was scheduled to fly to Hollywood late Thursday to tape a skit with Hope today. Other guests on the Hope special are Miss Anderson, Andy Williams, the Pasadena Rose Queen and the Associated Press AllAmerica football team. "You try to put those things out of your mind," Hope said of Christmas in Saigon, 1964, when the Viet Cong blew up the Brinks bachelor officers quarters 10 minutes before his troupe was to arrive at the Caravelle Hotel across the street. After that truckload of explosives blew apart the Brinks barracks, Hope grabbed sidekick Jerry Colonna and bandleader Les Brown and visited the small Navy clinic where the surgeons were still picking glass out of the victims. One young officer, who couldn’t believe it, raised himself up from the operating table and with blood streaming down , his face wished Hope a Merry Christmas. When the . comedian got back to the Caravelle, he had blood stains on his jacket. "Those were days you never forget. Gratifying but they ~ tear your apart.” Hope was saying over the phone - "They’re so much a part of me still. Wherever I go, some ’ guy comes up and says, 'Hey, I flew cover for you in Nha Trang.’ Or a nurse will recall me lousing up a gag in the J burn ward at the 3rd Field Hospital in Saigon. For years the doorman at the Taft Hotel used to say, ‘I remember when you came to New Guinea with Patty Thomas. Wow, she was a knockout. How is she?’ He never asked how I was.” • BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein has been chosen a fellow-in-residence for Indiana University’s new Institute for Advanced Study and will create a musical work while in Bloomington. Bernstein, who for 12 years was music director of the New York Philharmonic and composed the music for the Broadway musicals "West Side Story.” "Candide” and "Wonderful Town," will start his six-week fellowship Jan. 11, IU officials said. “We are pleased Maestro Bernstein has agreed to inaugurate the program,” said IU Vice President Kenneth R.R. Gros Louis. "His talent and ability are indicative of the stature of the people we intend to bring here the next several years.” Bernstein has composed three symphonies, three ballets, an opera, film music and choral and vocal music, including “Mass,” which opened in Washington’s Kennedy Center in 1971. In addition to composing a new work while on the Bloomington campus, Bernstein said he would be interested in meeting students and conducting small seminars, said Charles H. Webb, dean of IU School of Music. “I know his presence on our campus as he completes an important new composition sharing his singular experiences with our students and faculty will have a profound effect on our entire academic community,” Webb said. • Public television's national magazine, The Dial, says in its upcoming January 1982 issue that there will be commercials at least during one program written by John Cheever and performed by Celeste Holm. The magazine says the commercials “are the author’s way of adding to the social comment in his play ‘The Shady Hill Kidnapping’.” The play is to be televised Jan. 12. "Satire, I guess you’d call them,” the 68-year-old Cheever said Thursday from his home in Westchester County. He said one of the ads was for “Elixicola, the true juice of youth.”

808 HOPE: Home for holidays

With “Sugar Babies” in its third year on Broadway, trimming the Christmas tree has become a cast ritual. This week in the cavernous lobby of the Mark Hellinger Theater, the stars. Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller, went through the routine, hanging tinsel and baubles on a small plastic tree. As a photographer took publicity shots, the stars smiled, leered and draped themselves with decoration. Finally, tiring of the task, Rooney dropped his smile to a frown and said, "That’s about as Christmasy as it’s going to get.” The matinee crowd began drifting into the lobby. An elderly man, spotting Rooney, made his way to’the tree. “It’s the 22d time I’m seeing the show,” said the man, Damon Fennen, “and it gets better every time.” Rooney’s face brightened. “Well, God bless you,” he said, grabbing the man with both hands. At first, not many of the theatergoers had recognized Rooney, who was wearing a faded maroon polo shirt. But soon they did, and he made a point of greeting them. Rooney said he did not hold with the superstition of not mingling with the audience beforehand for fear of breaking the theatrical spell. “I’m not that kind of actor,” he said, kissing and shaking his way through the orchestra on the way to the stage and his dressing room. “These people made me. I belong to them.” He slipped backstage, telling a visitor, “Too mueh is never enough.” • NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Country music singer Johnny Paycheck plans to keep a New Year’s Eve engagement in Wyoming, even though he could face arrest on a sexual assault charge, his manager says. Paycheck was arrested last week in Jefferson City, Mo., on a warrant charging him with having sexual relations with a 12-year-old girl following a concert in Casper, Wyo., last April. The warrant was issued by Natrona County, Wyo., officials. Released Sunday on SIO,OOO bond, Paycheck faces a Jan. 12 hearing in Missouri for extradition to Wyoming. Wyoming authorities said they will arrest him if he keeps his date to sing in a Dec. 31 concert in Evanston, Wyo. Paycheck’s most popular hit is “Take This Job and Shove It.” • MIAMI (AP) Convicted Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt said he was pleased with a $650,000 libel award he won in a suit against a conservative group which allegedly linked him to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. “It’s an appropriate verdict,” Hunt, a former CIA agent, said Thursday after federal jurors made the award. Hunt had sued the Liberty Lobby for a 1978 article headlined “CIA to Nail Hunt for Kennedy Killing,” which appeared in The Spotlight, the organization's newspaper. • On Wednesday William McGuire, 55, a longshoreman, became the 78th person to win the million-dollar New Jersey lottery. He will receive $50,000 a year for the next 20 years. After the drawing at an Atlantic City casino, McGuire.a bachelor, said he planned to retire and devote himself to gambling, “travel to the islands” and “wine, women and song.”
