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."

Mandel predicted today that
more babies will be born in the
United States this year' than in

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.
