(UPI) Famed 'Insector Maigret' Author Begins New Book Paris-UPD-At 5 a. m. (GMT) on the morning you read this, one of France's most prolific writers will have jumped out of bed to work on a new novel. Georges Simenon, creator of the famous Inspector Mai gret, has written 185 books under his" own name and an estimated 300 under a nom de plume. Most of those un der his name are about Mai gret. But during a stop-off iii Paris on his way back to Switzerland Simenon told UPI that his next work will be something different. "I only have some idea at the moment of the color of the story, its rhythm and the sort of smell of it," he said. "The characters will be born as the story progresses." It was mostly that way with the greater part of Sim enon's prodigious literary out put. The story built itself as it went along. Paid Dividends But it has paid handsome dividends. Simenon has col lected a fortune from the book, film and television rights of his main character and anything with the name Simenon nowadays is guaran teed a big sale. Simenon is 60 and believes he probably is at his peak as a writer. "I have acquired a very profound knowledge of human beings in growing old," he said. "I used, when I was younger, to talk about 'old men of 50' in my books but now I'm 60 myself I don't mention the word anymore." Simenon was on his way to his home in Switzerland. He was born in Belgium and remained there until he was 20. But Simenon loves many parts of the world. Likes U. S. "If I didn't have three young children," he said, "I'd put my wife and myself in an airplane and fly to the United Slates for a couple of months. There's no place like it. Par ticularly at Christmas time when the atmosphere there is like nowhere else in the world." His predilection for the United States is understand able. He spent quite a few years living there in the forties. "I was talking to Roger Vadim and some, young direc tors last night about Arizona ORTHO S GRO orth6-grO I' SALE Reg. $4.98 per Gal. 99 214! Hurry-Don't Wait! A REAL BARGAIN! 4th & Fir Lots of Free Customer Parking and I had tears in my eyes. "I love the light there, the climate and the mentality of the people in the Far West." While he talked about some of his books, Simenon agreed he had never laid a plot in any form of present-day poli tics. , "Politics is a word I hate," he said. "I left Belgium when I was 20, before I was old enough to vote, and I never have voted in my life because I've always been outside my own country." By RUDY CERNKOVIC United Press International Pittsburgh - CP0 - Tiie bank teller was preparing to put securities and cash into the vault when his telephone rang. "My name is Cartwright," said a voice on the other end. "I was at your counter a little while ago and left a package there. I'd appreciate it if you would look for it. I'll be down to pick it up." The obliging teller began a search, but it was not success ful. He returned to hi win dow a few minutes later. Sud denly he noticed the currency and securities were gone. The teller had been vic tim of a device used by sneak thieves. The telephone call had diverted his attention to a search while an accomplice of "Cartwright" had recoved the securities and money. The Federal Bureau of In vestigation has warned this ruse is used by bank thieves. Bank thefts are of great concern to the FBI. William Alexander, agent-in-charge of the Pittsburgh FBI office who has specialized in investigat ing bank robberies, reports such crimes are on the rise. He noted there were 1,072 banking type violations last year, including 598 robberies THE PLOT TORI LXSLJ In today's France, where murderous conspiracy has become an accepted part of politics, the question is not whether Le Grand Charles can stay in power, but whether he can stay alive. Geoffrey Bocca, veteran reporter and long-time resident of France, provides a startling inside account of the situation in the JUNE 23RD Issue of Family Weekly with your copy of the MedfordSWTribune Advice to Love Lorn Columns Popular in France Br ALINE MOSBY United Press International Paris-IUPD - Foreigners may think that French lovers are wise and all-seeing. But the popularity of advice to the love-lorn columns in news papers and magazines here shows the French have their share of the problems of "amour." One French "Dorothy Dix" is Marcelle Segal who gives out advice in the women's magazine "Elle" w i th a unique Gallic flavor. A. 60-year-old grandmother, for example, wrote that her husband, 63, had acquired a mistress. Although the couple quarrelled over the other woman, the husband contin ued to have his household of three, or 'menage a trois," as they call it in this country. The wife asked columnist Segal, "Should I divorce him?" The husband is "without strength" so "you must have strength," Mme. Segal replied. "Decide which you prefer: an amiable husband, a com fortable life, an appearance of happiness. Or a divorce, solitude, a broken family, the rupture of 35 years of cher ished habits. "Which is the least worse? You are too realistic not to see that in divorcing him, you punish yourself. Let the poor fool go his way he can't go far." A letter from a 24-year-old wife said she suspected her husband was in love with her best friend. 'Your husband is perhaps faithful, your friend probably loyal, the advice was. "Do not search to make your su spicions a certainty by play ing detective. You will be hap pier. Furthermore, it's a good practice, whether they are faithful or not." Then there was a letter from a young man who had been in love with a beautiful girl in Paris for six months. But "one day in front of a night club on the Rue Pigalle 1 recognized her in a photo as a strip-tease dancer." "This was a shock for me . the anguished man wrote. Mme. begal replied to go to see the .cabaret show to see if it is she." "If it isn't, the incident is closed," she wrote. "If it is she, I will say to you only that foolish jobs are done often by brave people. I re' member one nude dancer who. when dressed, was a modest girl, a good wife and mother She wore her costume of Eve with seriousness. It was her work outfit!" Teen-agers with love and parent problems unburden their hearts to "Elle" and other publications more often than other age groups. One girl, 17. wrote "Elle" that she was in love with a 19-year, old "gadabout" and "conceit ed fellow" and wondered how to win "this rare pearl." Mme. Segal snapped 1 e was no rare pearl. "Show him a pin but don't stick him with It," she ad vised. "If he is gadabout. follow his 'race' with interest Three Accidents Checked by Police Three automobile accidents involving seven cars were in vestigated by Medford police Tuesday. No injuries were re ported, and one citation was issued by police. Cited for improper left turn about 4:20 p.m. was Annette Joy Springsteen, 73, of Oakland, Calif., after, the vehicle she was operating collided with a pickup truck operated by Jim Damian Es tremado, 23, of route 1, box 489, Gold Hill. The accident occurred at "the intersection of Riverside ave. and Maple sts., according to police. Three cars were involved in the collision about 7:50 p.m. at the intersection of East Main and Cottage sts. According to police, vehicles were operated by James Rob ert Wolfe, 20. of Butte Falls star route, box 88, Eagle Point; Alethew Lee Meadows, 62. of box 187, Butte Falls, and Joan Rector Kountz, 32, of 805 Taylor st. The third accident occurred at 11 p.m. in front of 415 Newtown St., police reported, when a vehicle operated by Ira Lewis Jones, 76, of 207 South Orange st., hit a parked car "registered to Jean An drew Mills, 415 Newtown st. and 303 burglaries. "In 1932, there were 623 banks robbed across the coun try," Alexander said. "The figure was high and the crime was made a federal offense. The curve went down until 1953 when it began to rise again." Alexander said a' study of 200 bank robbers showed 50 per cent had previous records, 25 per cent had committed minor offenses and the re maining 25 per cent had no criminal record. Complicating FBI investi gation of bank thefts is the fact there is no set pattern, Alexander said. "During the past several years we have found bank robberies committed by old ladies, well-paid salesmen, en gineers, chorus girls and preg nant housewives," he said. The reasons for the rob beries are varied, FBI agents have learned in Interrogating the suspects. One suspect told agents: "If you want a hat, you go to a hat store. If you want shoes, you go to a shoe store. If you want money, you go to a bank." In New York City a would be bandit fled after a woman teller screamed and was nab bed by police almost imme diately. "I wasn't doing anything," the suspect said. "You were trying to rob a bank," police told him. "So what! Everybody's do ing it today," was his reply. Alexander said success in apprehending bank robbers depends on teamwork. He sup ervises teams of agents who visit banks and talk to tellers and other employees on the best means of bringing rob bers to justice. "Bank robbers are willing to gamble freedom for a sud den splurge of wealth,' Alex ander said. He said all agents are cautioned by the words of FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover: "Every trigger happy bank robber is a potential killer and should be treated as such." What do robbers do with their loot? "Some pay their debts," Alexander said. "Others give cash to friends and families. Some even put it In a savings bank." OSU Grants, Gifts Exceed $6 Million Corvallis-flTD-Oregon State university received grants and gifts totaling more than $6 million this past fiscal year, the school said today. The amount Is 40 per cent i over last year. Dr. James Jensen, OSU president, said of the $6,095, 112 total, $5.2 million came from federal funds and $868, 905 from other sources. The major share of the funds was for research, he said. Salem Doctor Given Plaque at Meeting Portland-l!PD-A Salem doc tor. Dr. Ralph M.
