THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Robert Montgomery Returns To Movies By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD <UPD — Robert Montgomery, slick leading man of a past era, has returned to movies after a seven-year hiatus to produce and direct—but not star in—a new movie. The debonair star gave up his film career to tackle television, a medium with which he is thoroughly fed up. His show, “Robert Montgomery Presents,” nose-dived two Seasons ago, after which Bob became video advisor to President Eisenhower. He continues to hold down his post with the President. “Television is in bad shape,” Montgomery said bitterly. “The , industry never asks itself what it , is doing to or for the American , public. And don’t think it’s ‘free . TV.’ The public is paying for it , through new demands for goods and services' created by televi- < sion. , “The powers that be are con- ] vinced all TV must be separated into ‘entertainment,’ ‘educational’ , and 'cultural’ shows, and that ' they can never be combined. So Much Junk » ( “All these cowboy programs at- j tempt to show Americans in a favorable light, but just the oppo- , site occurs. It’s just so much ' junk.” < ' Montgomery, his hair streaked j with silver, still is a handsome ‘ man who could well return to , playing leading roles along with others of his era — Clark Gable, ( John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and , Robert Taylor. But he doubts if ; he will return to the greaspaint ’ wars. “I haven't had the time,” he . said. “Right now I’m terrifically busy with my new picture, ‘The Halsey Story.’ The movie will be limited . to three or four weeks of Admiral ‘Bull’ Halsey’s life, during the Battle of the South Pacific. It’s f not a biography. , “There’s generally a period in every man’s life when he either goes forward and accomplishes J greater things, or disappears from public view. That’s what happened to Halsey in 1942 when he commanded the 7th Fleet.” Cagney Plays Role Montgomery first met the re- ‘ tired admiral in 1943 when the ac- ( tor was serving aboard a destroyer in the Pacific. “I had a tremendous admiration for his leadership,” Montgomery recalled. “He's been a great help assisting us with the script giving us details no documents' provide. “We've been fortunate in signing Jimmy Cagney for the title role. I’ve always wanted to do a picture with Jimmy. He looks a : great deal like Halsey. And we've got Dennis Weaver—The actor i who plays ‘Chester’ on ‘Gun- ; smoke’—playing the second role. “It’s nice to be back in Hollywood with a good picture ready to roll. But I’m on call any time the President needs me in Washington.” , IBmrfc At the Adams county memorial ' hospital: Victor and Mary Shinn Lautzenhiser of Willshire, Ohio, are 1 the parents of a six pound, five and' ' three fourths ounce girl born Saturday at 12:45 p.m. Sunday at 8:58 p.m., Ferris and Barbara Walters Kohne of 309 Stratton Way, became parents of ’ a seven pound, five and one half ounce girl., A six pound, five and one fourth 1 ounce girl was born this morning ! at 11:55 a m. to Eugene and Mar- 1 cille Bienz Colne of 1051 RusseD 1 street.

Joan Crawford's Husband Found Dead NEW YORK (UPI) - Funeral services will be held here Wednesday for Alfred N. Steele, 57, chief executive of the Pepsi-Cola Co. dnd husband of actress Joan Crawford. Miss Crawford found Steele dead in his bed when she awoke Sunday morning in the couple's penthouse apartment. The couple had just returned from a six-week business trip across the country and had planned to leave today for a 10day vacation in Jamlnca. A family spokesman said Steele had had no hint of illness, and apparently suffered a heart attack in his sleep. Miss C rawford eloped with Steele four years ago and put her own career into the background to accompany him on a nearly continuous round of business travels. She collapsed after calling servants to her husband s bedside and was put under sedation by doctors. Steele joined the Pepsi-Cola Co. in 1949 X after a long career in Hckwas. credited with changing the formula of the drink to make it less sweet, changing its advertising emphasis from economy to quality, putting it into vending machines, promoting foreign sales and streamlining its business operation.

Steele had been married twice previously and. is survived by two children, Alfred Nelson Steele of New York City, and Mrs. John Comer, of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Republican Editors Hear Rep. Halleck < K INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Rep. Charles A. Halleck issued a Republican call to arms Saturday night and called on Indiana’s GOP newspapers to “present the facts” and help the party win a “courthouse to White House, victory” in the 1960 elections. v Halleck told a meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association that “we must redouble our efforts to combat fiction with fact.” He charged that 'while Republicans “deal in truth, the-Demo-crats peddle distorted propaganda. “Morale and party unity among Republicans in the Congress are at a high pitch and we are constantly increasing,” he said. “This display of unity should be an example to’ party leaders.“ Halleck said. “A party which has just lost an election cannot afford faction and fratricide. “As we Republicans move forward together,” he said, “the Democrats and their party move farther and farther apart. The differences between Democrat conservatives from the South, and the labor-boss-dominated radical wing of the party are now ih the irreconcilable stage. “They have nothing in common but their party label.” Halleck called the Defnocratic Party “both the party of the. repudiator and the budget-buster” and said that the Republicans have established a congressional record for “our valiant fight against reckless, wasteful spending.” Halleck said he has received thousands of letters from “those the Democrats would call Tittle people’ but whom I prefer to designate as thinking, articulate American citizens. “I am heartened,” he said, “by the overwhelming support of these People for President Eisenhower’s program of a balanced budget, to hold down the high cost of living. People are appalled by Democrat extravagance. They place the blame where it should rest and call the Democrats ‘the spenders’.” With the help of newspapers, Halleck said, “there will be a Republican victory in 1960 from the courthouse-ter the White House.” Plainfield Man Is State Budget Head INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -Phillip Conklin, Plainfield, today was sworn in as state budget director, succeeding William Hardwick, Martinsville. * Conklin, a Republican, has been a budget director since 1957. Hardwick resigned to take a isost with the United Fund in Indianapolis. Appellate Judge James Cooper, Rushville, administered the oath to Conklin.
