Lucille Ball's husband Gary Morton is playing it very cool, trying in a most sincere manner to make the marriage work, and winning the admiration of their friends. Though Gary does the warmups for Lucille's new show when he's in Hollywood, he's never tried to inject himself into her program — nor has he tried to wangle an acting assignment out of the sprawling Desilu empire. Rather, he's heading the other direction: He's leased a golf center that's to be developed — and he's hoping to acquire books, plays and scripts and possibly become a producer.

Bob Hope wanted Keely for his Christmas show but she begged off. explaining she wanted to be with her family. . . . Phil Everly will carry on solo. until brother Don recovers from his exhaustion, and will be booked simply as The Everly Brother. . . . Chubby Checker fans predict the "Limbo Rock" will replace the fading "Twist." . . . Perry Como's crew expect big things from young comic Bill Hinnant. "There's an awful lot of confusion and animosity on 'Route 66,' " we were informed by a source close to the program. And yes, "Route 66" has developed more bumps than a backwoods mud road. Part of the trouble was George Maharis' illness. Though he licked hepatitis in a couple of months (when normal recuperation often is six months), he was then restricted to a three-hour working day by his doctors. Courageously, he carried on. but producers (Please turn the page) But this bliss is for real! Cara isn't raising son John to be an actor, in spite of his dad — or is it because'
