(International) Maureen O'Hara Is Called To Testily Actress Claims To Have Been In Spain HOLLYWOOD (UP) — The defense in the Confidential Magazine criminal libel trial today called on actress Maureen O’Hara to prove in court that she did not misconduct herself in a theater. Miss O’Hara told newsmen Monday she was making a movie in Spain in November, 1953, the month that Confidential claimed in an article that she misbehaved in Grauman's Chinese Theater with an unidentified man. She also showed newsmen a passport which indicated she was out of the country at the time the alleged incident occurred. But defense attorney Arthur J. Crowley said James Craig, former assistant manager of Grauman's who testified he witnessed the episode, could have been mistaken "a month either way.” Crowley said Craig was willing to undergo a lie detector examination and challenged Miss O’Hara to submit to such a test. Confidential, which is being sued by Miss O’Hara and other Hollywood stars, introduced Craig as a witness in an attempt to show that articles published by the magazine are true and dis-' closed without malice. i, Mrs. Eisenhower Is Steadily Improving WASHINGTON ffl — The White House reported Monday that Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower is ‘coming along very welF’ from an Internal operation Aug. 6 but is “going to take her time” in leaving the hospital.
