(UPI Telephoto) Crosby Brothers Now Topflight Performers On Nightclub Circuit Hollywood rtJPD- Like a car nival sideshow, the Crosby boys had "freak value" last year in their first extended tour of personal appearances. Recently Phillip, Dennis and Lindsay began their sec ond year as a trio with solid bookings for six months-and as - topflight nightclub act, not because they're "Bing's boys." Since the groaner's eldest son, Gary, quit the act,; Phil lip, huskier of the twin's, has taken over as acknowledged .leader. "He's the bossman," Dennis and Lindsay agreed. "They say that because I'm bigger than they are," Phil grinned. "When we first start ed out we relied heavily on Gary because of his exper ience. Now we've all gained some confidence." Crosby Name Helped "No question about the fact that the Crosby name has opened a lot of doois and helped us along," Lindsay said. "But now we're no long er a curiosity act. The reviews have been good and word of mouth proved we could enter tain audiences with something besides our name." In addition to nightclub work and an eight-week stand Film Scheduled a! Lenten Program Jacksonville - "Village of the Poor" is the half-hour film feature to be shown those tak ing part in tonight's second of a series of seven Thursday night Lenten study programs at the Jacksonville Presbyter ian church. The program will begin at 7:30 o'clock. The Rev. King Jones of the Jacksonville church empha sizes that there will be a pro gram and facilities to handle all ages in the family tonight, and throughout the remaining five programs in this series. "Village of the Poor" is a documentary film, made in a remote Indian village. at London's Palladium, the boys also will make guest ap pearances on television with Perry Como, Ed Sullivan and their dad. But a regular TV series is out. "We , don't want to be stuck in one thing for two or three years," Dennis ex plained. "It has one big advantage, though," Lindsay put in. "We wouldn't have to do so much traveling.- All of us are mar ried, and these long road trips are rough on the girls." Wives Understand Problem ''Yeah, but they under stand," Phil added. "All three of them were in show business themselves. They understand, but that doesn't mean they like it any more than we do." The boys are a package deal only when they have night club dales. During slack per iods they are free to make separate appearances on tele vision and in movies. The brothers spend much of their free time together. The twins, Phil and Dennis, live next door to one another in Beverly Hills. Lindsay and Gary live a few blocks apart in the San Fernando Valley. "We've gained confidence and experience," , Phil said. "We've learned to blend our voices better and we've picked up stage presence. We've got a good, clean act that brings in a lot of family trade." "That doesn't mean we're square," Lindsay said. Congressional Committees Mull Farm Surpluses Washington -(UPD- Two con gressional committees today mulled over President Ken nedy's controversial plan ' to cut farm surpluses by raising feed grain supports for grow ers who reduce their acreage. The Senate Agriculture Committee opened its hear ings on the bill with Agricul ture Secretary Orville . L. Freeman scheduled to explain the administration proposal, termed emergency legislation. A House agriculture sub committee went into its sec ond day of closed-door hear ings to hammer out a similar bill, after hearing farm spokesmen disagree sharply over the matter. AFBF Attacks Bill The . same sort of testimony is expected before the Senate group. The American Farm Bu reau Federation, the nation's largest farm group, attacked the. bill, calling it "unwork able." Some ' smaller, groups 'endorsed the plan. . Lawmakers say the pro posal has a good chance of passing by the March 15 dead line, providing President Ken nedy will agree to sharp re visions in it. Other congressional news: Defense: The chief of Air Force research said "Wednes day the Defense Department is studying the possibility of launching an anti-missile mis sile from an orbiting satellite. Lt. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever told the House Space Commit tee that an "active defense system based on satellites offers the most promise in defending the United States against an intercontinental ballistic missile attack." Gap: Sen Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) said there is a missile gap and the Kennedy admin istration has realized the need for closing it. The former air secretary said there will be a long-range ballistic missile gap "for some time to come." Movies:. Rep. Earl Wilson (R-Ind.) introduced a resolu tion directing the movie and television industries to police the moral content of their offerings or face government control. He said "sex is being purveyed in every possible packaging" in movies, and television is rife with vio lence. : DOESN'T LAST LONG Duisburg, Germany - IUPII -Last summer Duisburg citi zens voted Hans Bumueller, 39, the city's "most polite of ficial."

Pacific Medford EDCC LUBRICATION WITH riiLL Oil and Filter Change ence CAR WASH WITH Oil Change and Lube GOOD UNTIL MARCH 1st Laotian Capital Like Storybook Luang Prabang, Laos (ITDi If it's out-of-the-way places you are looking for, this royal Laotian capital fills the bill. It is off the beaten tourist track and your travel agent would not likely include it in his recommended Far Eastern tour even if there was no war in Laos. Luang Prabang looks like a city picked right out the pages of a storybook and set in the middle of the mountainous Laotian jungle. It sits nestled in a small valley where the Nam Khan river joins the Me kong. The Mekong, with hun dreds of long, slender wooden boats slithering through the waters like alligators, snakes through the jungle valley to from one edge of the city. The palace of King Savang Vitthana sits majestically on the edge of the river facing a huge hill that rises above an inverted icecream cone out of the center of the city. ' Sitting atop the hill, almost like a dip of ice cream, is a centuries - old Buddhist temple, whitewashed and with huge -golden spires reaching into the sky. It is a long and tiring climb up the C3lir.iatcd 1,000 steps that wind up the hillside. But the view from the top is worth it. You can see off into the mountains and jungle for miles. Every house and build ing in' the city seems almost at your fingertips. The palace, with long rows of stately palms leading from the front gate to the entrance stands out strikingly. But dozens of beautiful old temples that dot the city of less than 20,000 persons also are eye-catching. Hundreds of apron-clad Buddhist monks ranging in age from 8 to 80 walk slowly around the temple grounds. Others can be seen in the distance, on a sandbar in the river, washing their robes. About halfway up the hill side, a team of Buddha mak ers usually is busy making bronze Buddhas for use in COMMANDER DIES Paris -0IPD- Adm. Philippe Auboyneau, 61,' commander of all Free French naval forces in World War II, died Wednes day. , ;. cremation ceremonies for the late King Sisavangvong ex pected to be held soon. The cremation has been delayed because of the civil war which has plagued the country for many months. The bronze was donated by the Laotian people, and Bud dha makers melt it down, cast it in mud forms and bake it in kilns. Then they file down blackened Buddhas which are send to a guarded cave on the outskirts of the city where thousands of them are kept for the cremation ceremony. There is only one hotel in the city. But it is better than what you would normally ex pect to find in such a remote place. It is called Bungalow Phousi Akhane. Its facilities would not match what you would find in most Asian capitals, but its rates will about $20 a day. Few Souvenirs The hotel is located on the main street that runs parallel to the Mekong in front of the palace. Thcs hopping center runs about five blocks and consists mostly of Chinese run shops. You would not find much in the way of souvenirs. Laotians are not much for handicrafts. About the only thing you might buy would be ancient tribal drums or some of the beautiful hand-made golden- threaded shawls and sarongs that all the women wear. There are a few Mercedes, Chevrolets and Jeeps which cruise well-paved streets, but) there is no traffic problem. I Across from the hotel and adjacent to Luang Prabang j college is a radio station in I the United States Information Service building. If you sat on the hotel veranda, sipping a cool drink in the hot afternoon, you probably would see a pistol packing Californian named Frank Corrigan busy adjust ing the antenna at the station. Corrigan is one of two Ameri can officials regularly sta tioned in the royal capital and he has been here for four years. There is a small touch of Hawaii in this royal capital those flashy shirts. Corrigan, a University of Hawaii graduate, had one which caught the eye of the provincial governor. For one of the governor's large par ties, they put out a precedent shattering invitation. It read: "Dress: chemise Hawaiian."
