' (UP I Telephoto) Bail Given Boost Following Boast Pendleton (UPI) Bail on two Washington state convicts captured 13 miles west of here Sunday night was raised from S5000 to $25,000 each by Dist trict Judge Paul A. Thal hofer Tuesday after one of the men boasted he could raise the lesser amount. Held on charges of being "fugitives from justice" were James Frazier, 26, and Ray C. Carlson, 36, who refused to waive extradition back to Walla Walla. Bail originally was set at $5000 each. But Frazier, who was doing a life term for first degree murder, told Deputy Sheriff Max Livingston at the Umatilla county jail he was "certain" he could raise the bail. Judge Thalhofer upped the bond when the pair ap peared before him Tuesday afternoon. Officials said extradition procedings probably will take about 30 days. Carlson was serving 20 years on a burglary charge at Walla Walla. Paris in Springtime . . . Continues Romantic Mood Paris (UPI) Paris in the spring ... a rain-washed night and the moon bright be neath a silver ceiling of clouds. Lovers arms in arm along the left bank of the Seine, ob livious of everything but themselves. The standing room only signs out for the red-nosed clowns and the lush and leg gy chorus girls in the Folies Bergere and the Lido. But so few cross the broad Pont de la Concorde over the Seine to the National Assem bly. "Apathy?" smiles the po lice officer with the radio chattering in his command car. "Ah, no. The Parisian's very well behaved. Why should he come here when he can read about it in his news paper, eh?" This doesn't explain why the well-behaved Parisian re quires so many police around his legislature. But the lovers are kissing now, still oblivious. The civil ians watch. The police watch. The journalist watches. It hardly seems possible that behind the scaffolded columns a few yards away the future of the nation is be ing decided in a duel between Premier Pierre Pflimlin and General Charles De Gaulle. Paris in the spring . . . Canadian Novelist Dies After Illness Montreal (UPI) Lion el Shapiro, 50, one of Can ada's leading novelists and a former newspaperman,- died Tuesday night after a long illness. His novel, "The Sixth of June," concerning D-Day in Normandy, France, was a Book-of-the-Month club selec tion in 1955 and later became a motion picture. A war correspondent in Europe during World War II, he once wrote a broadway column for the Montreal Ga zette. He also worked for the North American Newspaper Alliance, MacLean's Maga zine and the Columbia Broad casting system. ' By A. ROBERT. SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington One of those public relations fellows from New York called the - other day to invite me to have lunch with a movie star. He said it would be a nice change from looking at politicians. He got no argument on that score, even from one who finds politicians very inter esting types. Besides a polite cal reporter sometimes gets to feeling he isn't covering the whole Washington scene when he passes up receptions or publicity stunts involving such well known " visitors as Sophia Loren, Gina Lolla brigida and Zsa Zsa Gabor. So, all rationalization aside, the invitation was snapped up. The star, it turned out, needed a shave. But then Walter Brennan always was his lovable best in an un shaven characterization of Hollywood's version of a ranchhand. But though he was born in Boston, Brennan lays claim to being a real rancher by virtue of having a 12,000 acre spread 29 miles out of Joseph in eastern Oregon. He also has a 320-acre farm near Joseph on which he raises hay and alfalfa for his herd of 500 to 700 herefords. His son Mike runs the operation, but the Brennan's visit there several times a year. Walter was 19. town because, as a family man, he attended the baptism of a new grand child. His daughter lives in nearby Falls Church, Va. Brennan is feeling no pain over the success of his plunge into television as "Grandpa Amos McCoy" in a western called "The Real McCoys". He was enroute to Wesfc Vir ginia to get that state's first Mountaineer award Plan Big Reception That's where this business of the Hatfields and the Mc Coys and their hillbilly feud in' got started. Not at all dis pleased with Brennan's por trayal of the McCoys, the citi zens are planning a big re ception, governor and all, I asked Granpa McCoy whether he got all stirred up at the thought that Oregon might elect a Hatfield as gov ernor. He didn'tl As a matter of fact, -he hadn't heard about Mark. The New York public re lations fellow was quick to add, however, that in his, re search of the development of the Hatfield and McCoy tribes, he found that the Hat fields seemed to have gone much farther. , While benefiting from the phenomenon, Brennan does n't attempt to explain the cur rent craze over westerns in the movie and TV industry He also scratches" his head over the young guitar-strum-mers who are now command ing fantastic salaries. The reason they get top billing in the movies is that they draw the teen-agers he explains, and teen-agers make up such a high percentage of the mov iegoers these days. Brennan, although a three time Academy award winner, never got top billing until last fall when, at age 63, en tered TV. He recalls that when he was trying to get started in Hollywood in the 1920s, "I fell off every horse in Hollywood and the hors es always got higher billing than I did." Being a TV character has its affects. While visiting his daughter's family, one grand child started to ask him to read her a story but checked herself and said: "Oh, I for got, you can't, read." As Grampa McCoy, he plays an illiterate. For anyone with a stereo type notion of the married life of Hollywood stars, Mrs Brennan would be a refresh ing experience. Like her more famous husband, she lacks pretense and artificiality, is genuine and interesting "When we were having hard times," recalls Walter, we had chickens. My wife sold the eggs the chickens laid. After we became suc- W 4fJ TO m E FffiST $1 mmmn is toe SAVE ON BE ! That's right.

They made it plain they like the arrangement. Largest Barge To Carry Vans Portland (UPI) Barge 539 of the Inland Navigation company, largest barge in the world, is equipped to carry "piggy back" vans between various parts of the Pacific coast in addition to oil prod ducts and lumber, the firm said today.
