Three years later, in 1934, Rogers reorganized the group into the Son; of the Pioneers, which became relatively well-known throughout the West.

In 1937, he took a screen test and signed a contract with Republic Pictures as a singing cowboy. His first movie, "Under Western Skies," was a success, drawing the third largest crowd at the box office that HIS NAME, Roy Rogers, is a tribute to one of his idols, the cowboy-philosopher Will Rogers. "The Sons of the Pioneers performed with him at his last show before the plane crash in Alaska. It was in the San Bernardino auditorium. I remember he was all excited about the plane that was going to take him to Alaska.

I always did admire Rogers said. "So the Rogers was for him, and someone else suggested Roy and it was alliterative, and that was it." Will Rogers also Inspired him in another way to keep a museum on himself. "I was at his home, where he had some lassos and hats displayed, and I said to myself, 'That it! If I ever get into show business, I'm going to keep everything I The Roy Rogers museum, all 32,000 square feet of it, is located in Victor-ville, outside of Los Angeles. Not only will visitors find mementos such as hats and costumes, but also Trigger, Rogers' palomino. Not a replica the real horse.

When Trigger died, Rogers had him stuffed and mounted, rearing on his hind legs. Dale Evans' horse Buttermilk, and the Rogers television dog, Bullet, are also stuffed and provide company for Trigger. "I used to tell Dale that when I died, she could skin me and put me on top of Trigger, and I'd be happy," Rogers joked. 5 TRIGGER WAS the only horse Rogers ever rode in any of his movies and television shows. The horse, which lived to be 33 years old, had only appeared in one movie before Rogers claimed him as his own Errol Flynn rode the gold palomino in the movie "Robin Hood." These days, Rogers relaxs on his California ranch with his horses, his hunting dogs, and his family.

"I've had a wonderful family life," he said, noting that he and Dale have nine children, four of them adopted and one a foster child; and now have 16 In an age of star fighters and inter-galactic space fantasies, it would seem the cowboy has become obsolete. But Rogers has faith the myth of winning the West hasn't faded away completely. "After all, it's an important part of American history. Everything runs in cycles. They had 65 Western series on TV and everyone got sick of it after a while.

The same thing happened with detective shows. The cycle will come around again." iv Coleen Dee Berry is a Press general assignment reporter working oat of At-' bury Park.

ROY ROGERS: One of bis idols roast beef sandwiches. "Since about 1943, 1 was doing a lot of commercial tie-ups everything from gum to toys to bedspreads," Rogers said.

"I was interested in a restaurant chain, and was in fact negotiating with another company when Marriott approached me with an offer." Business has replaced acting these days for Rogers and his wife, Dale Evans, who was his leading lady in most of his films and television shows. Although Miss Evans occasionally appears with her husband for Marriott promotions, yesterday she was in Atlanta doing some promotion work of her own. "She's at a book publishing convention for her 19th book," her husband says proudly. WITH THE EXCEPTION of a recent appearance on the "Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters" television program, Rogers hasn't done much acting for the past 10 years and is not sure he would like to return to that line of work. "They've asked me to do a show on the 'Fall Guy' series.

I haven't read the script yet, so I haven't made a decision," Rogers said. "I wouldn't mind acting if they have a part for someone who's 71. "But I'm not so sure I'd want to be in too many of the things they show nowadays," he added.

To a generation of moviegoers beginning in 1937, Rogers was one of the "singing cowboys," in the same class as his friend, Gene Autry.

To a generation of television-watching kids in the 1950s, Rogers, riding his golden palomino Trigger, with Dale by his side, was a Saturday morning staple. But the "King of the Cowboys" was born in Ohio and Roy Rogers wasn't his given name. It was Leonard Slye. Slye and his family moved west to southern California in the Depression year of 1931, when he was 20. While he was waiting to get a job in.

the entertainment field, Rogers picked peaches with migrant workers in the San Joaquin Valley and did other odd jobs. "IT WAS a difficult period, but looking back on it, I wouldn't trade in those days for anything. They built" character," Rogers said. He got his first break in show business when his sister literally pushed him out onto the stage of a local California' radio show called "Midnight Frolic." "They'd take just about anyone who whistled or beat spoons, or did stuff like that. My sister talked me into it, and I was so nervous, she had to push me onto the stage," Rogers recalled.

He sang and played his guitar, "and yodeled a bit," and four days later, the Sews Item TISTON FALLS Roy Rogers, "King of the Cowboys," will visit the Roy Rogers fast food restaurant at 15 Newman Springs Road, 5 p.m to p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, to celebrate the restaurant chain's expansion program by signing autographs and answering questions from bis fans. By COLEEN DEE BERRY HE WALKED TALL into the room full of strangers, wearing a smile that said howdy and sporting a white cowboy hat. After all, Roy Rogers will always be one of the good guys.

With a grin that took in a room full of Eastern dudes in a Marriott Hotel conference room waiting to ask him questions about his fast food restaurants, Rogers confided he's "a little pooped" this morning. "I had about four cups of that good Marriott coffee last night, and couldn't get to sleep. I was more awake than a treeful of owls, and I didn't catch a wink all night," he said. What's an honest-to-goodness cowboy doing in this fancy hotel back East pushing french fries and Double-R-Bar burgers? Well, it just so happens that this good guy dubbed "King of the Cowboys," hero of 87 Western movies and star of a television series represents Marriott chain of Roy Rogers fast food restaurants: And yesterday he came to New Jersey to the Marriott in Saddle Brook for a press conference to promote the conversion of 180 Gino's Restaurants nationwide into Roy Rogers shops. From there, he went to a restaurant opening in Parsippany Troy-Hills Township in Morris County.

This morning from 11 a.m. until noon, he was scheduled for a stop at an opening in East Brunswick Township, and later this afternoon he arrives in Monmouth County, for the 5 to 6 p.m. appearance at the Roy Rogers Restaurant in Tinton Falls. MARRIOTT BOUGHT the Gino's chain earlier this year. Some of the shops are being sold to other franchises such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, while the rest will become Roy Rogers franchises.

Rogers, a hard and lean 71 years old, doesn't pretend to be anything more than an old cowpoke doing some promotions for the restaurant that bears his name. "I've been on a horse too long to be anything but a sort of public relations person for the company," Rogers said modestly at the press conference yesterday.

Dept of Commerce Fronts: Cold Rainf NEW YORK Army Pfc. Joseph T. White, the first U.S. defector to North Korea since 1965, said he left his post voluntarily and out of "a deep convic-l tion," according to a North Korean videotape shown yesterday on NBC News. The statement was made sometime after White, 20, of St.

Louis, cross-' ed the border on Aug. 28, becoming the fifth American defector since the 1953 i Korean war armistice and the first since 1965. NBC also reported White had been declared a deserter by the military. In Washington, an Army spokesman said Witnesses in Wroclaw reported that several thousand people went to the city's cemetery, where a Roman Catholic Mass was said for a man killed during Solidarity anniversary protests in August. Police kept their distance from the crowd, the witnesses said, and there were no incidents.

In Warsaw, a plaque commemorating workers killed in clashes with police was placed on a brick wall in Old Town. Witnesses said about 20 people were present for the informal memorial. One in four working adults in France is employed either directly by the government or by a state-owned industry. Members of the traditional independent professions account for only about 450,000 of France's 52 million population, and the protesters claimed the Socialists policy is making them an endangered species. President Francois Mitterrand's government is requiring independent professionals in all fields to contribute 1 percent of their taxable earnings to the nearly bankrupt national unemployment insurance fund, even though they are ineligible for unemployment benefits.

That occurs 30 days after a soldier leaves his post without authorization, the spokesman said. "Nobody instigated me to come over to North Korea. I sought a political refuge not by passing emotion, but by a deep conviction," White is heard to say in the videotape. Scenes also showed White saluting North Korean leader Kim il-Sung and praising life in North Korea. NBC News said it had obtained the videotape from the North Korean Embassy in Peking.

The chairman of a group of Vietnam veterans serving in Congress, the chairman and ranking Republican of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and could force Massachusetts to withdraw from the 11-state regional disposal compact and might encourage other states to do the same, some delegates said.

"This could cause a lot of trouble if it's not shot down in the courts, quickly," said Steven Sklar, a Maryland state legislator. "You're taking highly complex issues and reducing them to emotional slogans." Under federal law, states must dispose low-level radioactive waste within their own borders or enter a compact with neighboring states to open a regional dump by 1986. Most of it now goes to South Carolina. Drafting the regional compact in Alba ny yesterday was the Policy Working Group of the Coalition of Northeastern Governors.
