SOLID BOOKINGS Dennis, Phillip and Lindsay Crosby,
top to bottom, have begun their second year as a trio with
solid bookings for six months, as a top-flight nightclub act.

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. :

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

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."
