Gary Crosby Admits To Bitter Estrangement From Crooning Father Las Vegas, Nev. -(CPU Gary Crosby, eldest son of crooner Bing Crosby, admitted today he is bitterly estranged from his father. "We just don't get along," he told United Press Interna tional in an exclusive inter view. Gary, 26, said Bing has not yet come to see him and his three brothers-Dennis. Philip and Lindsay-in their smash new nightclub act at the Sa hara Hotel here. No Invitation Planned And, he edded, he has no intention of extending an in vitation to the crooner. "The other boys can invite him if they want," he said. "Ain't gonna bother me in the least." ; There have been reports from friends of the Crosby family that Bing might slip into town quietly some night to catch the show, which be-! gan July 28 and will end Sept. 3. But in Hollywood, BLng's brother and business adviser, Larry, said: "I doubt it. Bing has no such plans that I know of. One reason is that he's with a group fishing off Alaska. "I'm not going up to Vegas. The boys want to be on their own, and I imagine Bing feels the same way about it that I do." Gary, sitting in his dressing room between shows, said: ' "Dad did some things last Christmas that I felt were far from right. They're personal, very personal, and I can't ex plain any more. But he's done a lot of other things in the past that I didn't like. I'm sure no one knows him as well as I Cw 7 "It must be emphasized that these 21 months followed 15 years of advancing stock prices uninterrupted by a major decline."

Could Get Along "We always wanted to be together' in show business," Gary said. "We just waited un til Linnle got out of the Army. We always knew we could get along on our own al though some people, of course, didn't think so." Gary conceded the Crosby name has "helped" the broth er act. "But," he said, "you've gotta have something else to make it because if you're out there five minutes and noth ing happens, dad, you're dead. EVEN FAS7EI3 SEBVIIGE KJ ' 3230 N. Pacific Hwy!

WorM rigfcte Barbers in Unique Shop Often Too Nervous to Chat San Francisco - (UPD-There's a barber shop in San Fran cisco where the barber is often too nervous to chat and the customer is often too nervous to listen anyway. It's the Modern Barber Col lege, where you can get a free haircut and save by play ing the guinea pig for student barbers. The school is owned and operated by E. M. Robinson, still spry at 87 and a veteran of 74 years in the bartering business. - "I had to start the hard way," Robinson said. "At the age of 13 I began on the giound of this profession-by scrubbing it-for an old Ger man barber in Odessa, Mo." Archaie Charm Robinson's teaching tech n'ques are modern but the school itself has an archaic charm. The 30 students share four wash basins; plumbing facilities are noisy and shav ing lather is whipped up in elderly soap mugs. The college off ically charges 75 cents for haircuts but there's no fee much of the time. The Salvation Army sends over volunteer "models" for the beginner students. Occasionally a part-shaved customer gets the whips and jangles as the student bears down on him with unsheathed straight razor. One novice barber said two of his "pa tients" jumped out of the chair and fled without letting him remove the lather. Three Instructors Robinson, who saic he pub lished the first book on how-to-do-it barbering in 1900, likes to think that his students Uncle Sam Willed Widow's Property San Francisco (UPD - Uncle Sam was $7,997.18 richer to day because an adopted niece never forgot how he had taken her into his home.

S. attorney here in accord ance with her will which she had hand-written and which read: "I give all the property of which i possessed to Uncel Sam of America hoo help me to adopt me. I was so happy to live in America. I grati tude only to Uncel Sam and he will know what to do with my property."

Through beginning barbers are patiently instructed in the delicate art of shaving, it seems to be going out of fash ion, Robinson said. "Frankly," he sighed, "bar bers are just too darn lazy nowadays to give a man a shave."
