Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United PrtM Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) A real Toxan has become the hottest western TV star since Hopalong Casnidy and after only three programs. Fess Parker is rated a show business phenomenon because on only three "Disneyland" pro grams over ABC-TV have. view ers seen him -portray his histori cal "Davy Crockett" character. Yet a coonskin cap revival has swept the popgun set around the nation, and Parker has wound up with a hit record, "Davy Crockett," oil wells, a deal for mor Crockett sTiows and a cut of Crockett Products for chil dren. "It's all purty wonderful," Parker said today, appearing slightly dazed by his sudden suc cess. Parker thinks Davy Crockett brought him fame because the programs are "real", based on historical fact instead of - fic tional ' Gene 'Autry-Roy Rogers plots. . , In' person Fess, Parker turns out to be a realjwestern charac ter, too. He has an honest, home spun manner and a genuine Texas drawl. Yet he's a veteran of five years of struggling as an actor in the land of orange trees and sunglasses. Parker came from a 400-acre farm near Fort Worth, Tex. While a senior at the University of Texas-he-met actor Adolph Menjou. " " ' "He asked me if I was inter ested in outdoor pictures and said if I came to Hollywood he'd help me," Parker said. Fess didn't make the grade in law school, failed in an attempt at accounting and finally got a degree in American history. Then he lit out for Hollywood. But the studios told him to "lose my accent and get acting ex perience.' He kept the accent, but worked first as an extra in the road company of the play, "Mis ter Roberts." Then he got an agent who helped him work in westerns at Universal and War ner studios. Once he played a "stupid country cousin" in a Tony Curtis epic. On a horror film, "Them," he had the role of a Texas ranch foreman. Walt Disney happened to see "TheW and asked the six-foot-five Texan to come over for an interview. "I brought "my : guitar along and played a song or two for him," drawled Fess. Disney . signed Parker to por tray western characters on "Dis neyland,'.' starting off with only three Crockett stories. -The last episode killed off the western hero. But 'the nation's children raised, such a fuss that Disney scheduled some fictional films about Crockett for next fall. The three TV episodes also are being released to theaters as a full length movie. Parker still is "campin' out" in a bachelor apartment, but he plans to build a house now that he's a star. ''I'd like to do light comedy, the sorta thing Henry Fonda does, and have my own produc tion company,'" he said. , I'm grateful C to ... my friends who have helped me,- and to my family. I'm sure I must have disappointed my folks over and over, but they never stopped backing me. They gave me a second chance." New York U.R) Robert Mandel predicted today that more babies will be born in the United States this year' than in any previous year. Mandel is president of the Diaper Service Institute of America. Thursday, April 18, 1955 MEDFORD (OREOON) MAIL TRIBUlfl TKRXB : Absconding Fathers Increasing; Knowledge of Welfare Care Eyed New York (U.R) Boom time are upon us, but a social problem usually associated with hard times is still around and bigger than ever. Child abandon ment cases are on the increase. George Lamb, who has made a 36-year career of tracking down runaway fathers, believes he knows why. ' When a man takes off today he knows the public welfare bu reau will take care of his kids," he said. "We used to have the fellow's conscience working' on our side but now I'm not so sure. At least he doesn't have as much cause to worry about his chil dren going hungry." Lamb, 68, chief of the aban donment bureau of the Queens district attorney's office, carries on a farflung dragnet operation from a cubbyhole office in the Queens county courthouse. He hopes to be off to Florida in a week or two. He has a line on a couple dozen New York fathers who went south for the winter, unannounced tc their families. Closing in on Texas Quarry After that he hopes to move on to Texas to close in on a quarry who have given him the 'slip for three' years. New York law provides a maximum penalty of two years in Sing Sing prison and $1000 Additional Money For Legislature Voted SalemU.R) The joint ways and means committee has ap proved an appropriation of an other $175,000 to cover the ex penses of the Legislature.' The 1955 session, already the second longest in history has nearly exhausted its. finances and requires the added money to continue in operation, accord ing to Sen. John Hounsell (R Hood River). ; - Sen. Francis Ziegler (R-Cor-vallis) quipped, "I hope we don't have to stay here until that $175,000 is all spent." The committee also approved a motion by Rep. Edwin Cone (R-Eugene) to appropriate $10, 000 for the Willamette Basin Commission.. Abnormal Rainfall Hampers Crop Seeding Portland (U.R) Abnormal precipitation in western Oregon has so softened croplands that it will be'impossible to seed many fields for, spring crops, accord ing to the U.S. Department of Agriculture here. The weekly crop and weather summary prepared y the de partment's agricultural market ing service said the situation was of particular concern to land for vegetable canners and freezers. In eastern Oregon, especially to the south, amounts of precipi tation were beneficial. fine for child abandonment. Few men serve time for the offense, but the law Is a persuasive force in getting them to pay for the support of their children. Lamb said his office pays for itself in money saved by getting childern off the relief rolls, even when his expense voucher has included trips to the Canal Zone and Canada. Absconding fathers usually mi grate to warmer climes,' but Lamb once tracked his man to a snow-swept village, in the New Brunswick province of, Canada. The man was a florist and was working in a greenhouse un mindful of the 40-below , tem perature outside. Race Track Haunts Lamb's long experience has led him to look for a woman in most abandonment cases. Few men run away by themselves, al though he has found that Flori da race tracks have a particular lure for New York fathers. When a case is brought to his attention, Lamb usually allows a month or six weeks as a cool ing off period. Many absent breadwinners show up at home under their own power within that time and are more likely to stay if the wife hasn't brought charges. "There's ,a lot that doesn't make sense in this business," he said. "Actually it should be easier than ever to locate a miss ing person. He has a social se curity number and may be draw ing unemployment insurance. He may be on file with the Veterans Administration or ' belong to a union. "Often it's to his own benefit to let these agencies know his whereabuts. But the agencies won't tell us." Lamb would like to se federal and state agencies open their records to law enforcement of ficials seeking the whereabouts of a citizen. The agencies now are prohibited by law from do ing so.

Interrupfible Power Supply Near Normal Portland (U.R) Bonneville Power Administration said today that interruptible power supplies to 14 industrial customers, cut to 25 per cent a few weeks ago, were now up to 95 per cent on a day-to-day basis. BPA said that rains were help ing to ease the power situation although temperatures were 10 to l2 degrees below normal. Officials said that BPA loads are up 150,000 kilowatts above average for this time of year and that this made it uncertain as to just when the restriction in inter ruptible power could be removed entirely.
