THE KEY WEST CITIZEN
Betty Hutton Says She Will
Win Academy Award Some Day
By JAMES BACON
(For Bob Thomas)
HOLLYWOOD “I’ll win an
Academy Award one of these days.
I know I will.”
That’s the new and emancipated
Betty Hutton talking. And when j
Betty talks, there’s not much a
reporter can do but sit back, listen
end usually agreed with her.
“I know that sounds cocky,”
explains the bouncy blonde from
Battle Creek. “I don’t mean it to
be. I’m just so intense about every
thing I do—and so hard to please—
that it’s just bound to happen.”
” Betty, like most successful grad
uates of the hard knocks school, is
more self-confident than conceited.
When she says she’s going to win
an Oscar, it’s like Babe Ruth at
home plate waving his bat in the
direction of the center-field bleach
ers.
“The main reason I left Para
mount,” she confides, “was be
cause I couldn’t convince them
over there that I could act.”
Ironically, her best Paramount
picture in years, “Somebody Loves
Me,” was her last for the studio.
The studio wanted her to do “Top
sy and Eva,” the story of the
Duncan Sisters. There was a front
office hassle over the script one
day and suddenly it was announced
that Betty and Paramount had
parted after 12 years
“I know people around town
thought me a little screwy for
chucking $5,000 a week but I just
couldn’t go on playing crazy
blondes the rest of my life.”
Betty had one of the choice
studio contracts around town. She
got paid the year round instead of
the usual 40 weeks.
“The money didn’t bother me,”
she discloses, “because I can make
as much in eight weeks with my
stage show as I could in a year
with the studio.”
She and her husband Charles
O’Curran have formed anew cor
poration wherein the Hutton stage
show goes on the road like a circus.
They even rent the theaters them
selves. It’s opening this week in
San Francisco.
I asked her if there was any
truth to the reports that the Para
mount hassle followed her insis
tence that O’Curran direct “Topsy
and Eva.” Some columnists had
printed rumors that co-star Ginger
Rogers refused to be directed by
O'Curran. >
It seems that in Hollywood, the
land of choice closeups and camera
angles, one feminine star doesn’t
want the other star’s husband call
ing the shots. It was no reflection
on O’Curran, a very talented direc
tor.
“Nothing to it,” answered Betty,
holding up her right hand. “The
whole trouble was over script. I’ll
argue like hell when I know I’m
right.” She apparently was right
because the Duncan Sisters story
since has been shelved at Para
mount.
She says the only fight she had
at Paramount was trying to get
O’Curran’s contract broken.
“They were glad to drop a hot
potato like me but they wanted to
hang onto Charlie. He didn’t need
me but I needed him to stage my
road show.”
the O’Curran-Hutton combine
also is incorporating for movies
and television. Betty owns the
rights to make a movie of Sophie
Tucker’s life. She’s holding off on
television until she gets the right
; format.
j “I’m nuts about corporations,"
| exudes Betty. “I’ve been support
ing my family since I was a kid.
I have a business head on me.
I’ll bet you'll go away from here
thinking I'm not a lame-brained
blonde after all.”
Army Orders More
Vigorous Action
Against Deserters
! WASHINGTON 'P The Army
high command has ordered its area
commanders to take more vigorous
action against soldiers who desert
in this country or go absent with
out leave.
I The treatment includes arrange
ments to ship them overseas. If
qualified for service there, from
prisoner stockades.
A Pentagon spokesman today
confirmed issuance of the order as
a follow up to the Jan. 6 statement
by Lt Gen. Anthony J. McAuliffe,
the Army's assistant chief of staff
for personnel, regarding desertions
McAuhffe said then that 46.000
enlisted men had deserted since
the start of the Korean War and
that all of these except IJ.OOO had
been picked up or had returned to
duty voluntarily He said desertion
was not an alarming problem but
that many commanders were dis
turbed about the rate of short-term
absence without leave.
President Truman has expressed
<hock at the number of desertions
and declared they were to blame
in large part on what he called
politically inspired attacks against
.be adauAutraUbn a Korean War
policy.

CAN T INTERFERE
WITH SEGREGATION
WASHINGTON (iP—Commission
er of Education Earl J. McGrath
says he is forbidden by law to in
terfere with racial segregation of
school pupils on Army posts.
This is a local practice, he said,
and out of his jurisdiction.
Sen. Humphrey (D Minn) had
protested such segregation at Ft.
Sam Houston and Ft. Bliss in Tex
as, Ft. Sill in Oklahoma and Ft.
Belvoir in Virginia.
Assistant Secretary of Defense
Anna Rosenberg said segregation
violates Pentagon policies. She put
the matter up to McGrath.
The schools are operated by
community authorities with the
help of federal funds granted upon
approval of McGrath s office.
