'Gotta Be Where Action
Is,' Gleason Says Of TV
By BOB THOMAS
AP Movie-Television Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Why is
Jackie Gleason taking yet another
leap back into the television
arena?
“Because I gotta be where the
action is,” he explains blithely.
Where Gleason is, you’ll find
on the show. One will be Okla-
homa Idaho, the saddest cowboy
in the West. Now that’s getting
pretty sad."
His aim for the show: 'To take
off on some of the sacred cows
of America.”
Admittedly, satire is a risk, he

pressure groups. If you do a com-

was the first stir of "Life of

He had five glorious years with
his Saturday night variety show,
then did a season ot “The Hon-

Gleason followed with a half-
hour variety show—“it didn’t go;
you can’t get rolling in a half
hour.” A half-hour conversation
show last season was a disaster.

Wiley, wife of a foreign service
officer, John Cooper Wiley.
The incident is , contained in a
book Mrs. Wiley has written,
“Around the Globe in Twenty
Years” which will be published in
August by the David McKay Co.
According to Mrs. Wiley it hap-
pened in 1939 when Mrs. Wiley's
husband was serving as o diplo-
mat in Latvia and Estonia and
President Kennedy's father was
ambassador to the Court of St.
James.
Kennedy, now 45, would have
been 22 men.
Young Kennedy, who she said
was "trying to learn as much
he could about Europe,” came to
spend a week or so of his summer
vacation with the Wileys.
"I was doing an altar of St.
Terese of Lisieux, my favorite
saint,” says Mrs. Wiley. “And I
needed a model for the angel in
one of the panels. Jack with his
curly hair and his youthful seren-
ity of expression was literally
God-sent.”
The altar Is a life-size statue
in-the-round of St. Therase and Is
surrounded bv 12 panels, each de-
leting a chapter in the saint’s

Therese while she writes in a

Originally, said Mrs. Wiley, she
planned to give the altar to a
church in Belgium but by the
time it was finished Europe was
at war and Belgium was occupied
by the Germans.
“I was urged to send It to the
Vatican and 1 did. That'i where
the altar is now," says Mrs.

A threat of civil war affects

Central figures are the tall,

The Bahutu turned on their

hundreds and driving thousands
out of the land.
