"At first we were just sort of talking," Nick recalls. "It had to be something with a horse, we agreed. I conceived the character, a Jack London of the West. 1 thought to make him an artist, a Rem- ington, or a gunsmith, but London has always been my idol, and we decided to make him a writer, "roaming over the West, gathering material, jotting everything down in a journal. "We started getting interested, and decided to bang out a script and all that jazz.

When we came up with the opening we use on the first show, me behind a dead horse, killing Indians, that's when I knew it was going to sell. Originally we were going to have about eight Indians, but the budget only allowed us two. "Before it was on paper, I called Dick Powell I know him well and told him about it He said 'Do you have a script? Bring it in Well, we didn't, but between Monday and Thursday we wrote a treatment and a script. "I brought a briefcase, the whole jazz, and enacted the whole thing for Powell. He said it didn't fit into his plans, but maybe we'd like to do it on 'Zane Grey Instead, we made a deal with Goodson-Todman." Adams, a fast glib talker, is often credited with contradictory stories.

According to one, "The Rebel" stems from "Rebel Without a Cause," in which Nick appeared "but don't look too hard; I was Harry, just one of the guys" with his buddy, the late James Dean. (They met in 1950 when they did some commercials together; renewed their friendship when Nick got out of service. Dean used to impersonate Brando and Adams -used to impersonate Dean so convincingly, that after Dean's death, Nick was paged to dub Dean's voice for a climactic scene of "There's not really any title connection," Nick told us. "Originally Andy and I wanted to call the show 'Young Johnny "The show's about a returning Rebel, and we came up with 'Young Johnny and that sounded pretty good. Like 'Rin Tin Tin.

"That night while I was sleeping, at about 2 A. I thought of the name The Right away I called Andy, but his phone was busy. It turned out we were trying to call each other. We had both thought of The "At 7 A. I received a call from Wagner in Palm Springs.

'Natalie and I have a great he said. It was The 'Before you want a piece of the I told him, 'Andy and I thought of that five hours "You won't believe it but it's true. That's the way things happen to me. I do everything on instinct Take my wife, Carol. I only knew her three or four weeks before we were married." The former Carol Nugent a child actress, Mrs.

Adams guests in next week's "Rebel" episode, as an Indian maiden. This will be her first and last appearance on the show, because another Adams is en route. "I got her for minimum," Nick crowed, "and her mother's her agent! Her mother didn't make much on that deal, but she handles about 50 people, and I give all her clients jobs." Nick's hoping to make lots of money out of the series, for himself, as well as for his mother-in-law. For instance, he and his partners are "merchandising" all sorts of "Rebel" trademarks: a scat-' tergun, an eagle claw worn around the neck, a Rebel cap "anything." Nick sums up, "that's not tied down." BY HARRY HARRIS ATTENTION, Matt Dillon, Wyatt Earp, Paladin, Luke McCain and other "old" cowboys: Move over. Youth, in the person of "professional teen-ager" Nick Adams, age 28, is about to muscle in on your Western territory.

Adams, born Adamschock in Nanti-coke, a blond, green-eyed ball of fire, addicted to speaking his agile mind uninhibitedly, is convinced that "The Rebel," bowing Sunday at 9 P. M. on Channel 6, is bound to succeed. For one thing, "They'll buy anything with a horse in the background." For another, he's sure the ABC series will appeal to various age groups. "Well get the adults," he told us confidently, "because the show is good.

Well get the teen-agers, because they can identify with me more than they can with someone like James Arness, who seems like an old man to them. Me, I'm like a big brother." In "The Rebel," Adams portrays Johnny Yuma, an ex-Confederate soldier roaming the West, who's "19 or 20." No handicap to Nick with the rock 'n roll set should be the fact that he's a crony of Elvis Presley. Presley was supposed to record "The Rebel's" title song, but a prior commitment with the U. S. Army interfered.

So Johnny Cash did it Nick, who can reel off vocal impressions of Cagney, Brando, Cary Grant, Leo Gorcey and other Hollywood types, did a series of "All Star Show" one-nighters with Presley a few years ago. "We became real good buddies," Nick said. "After the tour, I spent three months at his home. His mother called me her 'other When she died, Elvis called me, and at 2 A. M.

I flew to Memphis. "Afterwards, I started telling everyone my home town was Memphis. And all the Yankees know I come from Jersey City. So I have both the North and-the South on my side." Nick's an undersized runt amid TVs towering cowboy heroes he's 5-foot-10, weighs 150 but he's ready, any time, to take on any of "those 6-foot-6 beautiful leading men with the eyelashes." "I can beat up any of 'em," he insists. An alumnus of rough-and-tumble Jersey City gang fights, holder of a bachelor of mayhem degree from "Papa Zabrisky's poolroom," he now spends an hour a day studying karate, "better than judo." "I can take on five or six men at a time, chop their arms.

I'm waiting, after The Rebel' gets on, for somebody to come up to me and say "You're pretty tough, I'll take on five guys. That ought to be good publicity. "I'm working out a routine, using karate, and maybe 111 do it on personal appearances. If Arness and those other guys start this fast-draw stuff, 111 challenge 'em to meet me on the Sullivan Show. Ill take 'em all on for real.

That ought to be worth about 25 G's!" Adams is not only the star of "The' Rebel," he helped concoct it and is a co-owner. Once the leading candidate for another teen-age-aimed TV series, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," he voted against that project because it involved a long-term commitment and did not involve a horse. He and his two partners in Celestial-Fen-Ker-Ada Productions, which is producing the show in conjunction with Goodson-Todman Andrew J. Fenady and Irvin Kershner decided to create a series of their own last New Year's Eve. BED WETTHIG CORRECTED! IN TIME F.OR SCHOOL Joyful news!
