ONLY 2nd Future Les rutk vpBA OWf 12 MM By VERNON SCOTT Jack Kruschen, a character actor in radio, theater, movies and television for three decades, says he's found a home in episodic TV as the generation gap father in "Busting Loose." Kruschen, a Canadian native who was reared in Hollywood, is a powerfully built man with a soft manner and warm personality. He and his wife, Violet, have been married almost 15 years.

His stepson, Mark Mooring, 26, recently made Kruschen a grandfather. He has two other children by a previous marriage, Susan. 27, and Steven, 25. Kruschen's career progressed from radio announcing after World War II to the New York theater. He then moved on to television and motion pictures, making his film debut with Betty Hutton in "Red! Hot and Blue." The stocky Kruschen and Violet live with Violet's mother a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean in a DRIVING YOURSELF CRAZY NEED ANOTHER CAR?

SMI UUWtS Spanish-style house that once belonged to Ronald Colman. The rooms are spacious and airy. Almost every window provides a view of the sea and Santa Catalina Island. Over the years the actor has remodeled almost every room in the house He built his own workshop and filled it with carpentry tools and rare woods he purchased from a bankrupt furniture factory. He also fashioned several of the beautiful inlaid tables and other pieces of exquisite furniture in the house.

His woodwork blends comfortably with a mixture of traditional pieces and Italian and French provincial furniture. Kruschen enclosed the front porch and added wrought iron banisters to the staircase. Rounded arches and high ceilings prevail. An outstanding feature of the living room is a beamed ceiling sanded by Mark and Kruschen to give a warm, rich glow to the area. If Jack Kruschen likes anything better than woodworking, it's fishing.

Not infrequently he plods down to the beach with surf-casting gear. He uses the mussels clinging to rock jetties for bait and comes home ith catches of walleye, perch and caba- zon. Sometimes he just brings the mussels home and fixes them with butter and garlic for a delicious dish. Once in a while he takes off for Idaho's high country to do some trout fishing. But Kruschen's new schedule with the CBS-TV series is keeping him closer to home these days.

He generally arises at 6 a.m., puts on work clothes and runs on the beach with the family's two German shepherds, Caesar and Cleopatra. If he can find a partner, he puts in an hour of fun at a nearby tennis club to which he belongs. Then he has a quick shower and fixes his own breakfast, which often consists of tuna fish and a piece of toast. Thereafter, Kruschen is off to Paramount Studios. Instead of having lunch he dashes over to an indoor Hollywood tennis club to devote a half hour to improving his strokes with a ball machine.

Like many another middle-aged man, he wages a constant battle against added poundage. But Kruschen is handicapped by the fact that Violet and his mother-in-law are both of Italian extraction and extraordinarily fine cooks. Indeed, Violet's mother is a professional chef. "It's tough to stay on my diet with Vi's mother doing most of the cooking," says Kruschen. "They've both taught me how to prepare Italian specialties and I really have to watch myself at dinnertime." Kruschen usually is home from the studio by 6 p.m.

and in bed at 11. On weekends the Kruschens customarily get out of town for a change of pace and scenery. Their favorite destination is San Francisco, where some of Jack's relatives live. While touring Europe and Asia, the couple learned to take time out to visit old churches, museums and points of historical significance. They stop frequently when driving in the American West to do the same thing.

Kruschen is an informal man. He likes to slop around in denims, sandals and a T-shirt. Violet of ten scolds him for wearing tattered T-shirts, but her husband just shrugs and laughs. In the back of his mind Kruschen is thinking about buying another house with more property around it. He has become, in addition to a fisherman and carpenter, a gardener.

Wrestle out this one Grunts, growls and groans of strong arm competitors will be the highlight at Magic Mountain Saturday, at 1 p.m. when the California State Armwrestling Championships take place. The championships are open to everyone for participation and viewing. Registration is the morning of the event at 10 to 12 noon. Act in review Elvin Jones playing straightahead music By A.

JAMES USKA There's at least one good reason to go to Hermosa Beach's Lighthouse this week: Elvin Jones. Jones, the 49-year-old drummer who has played with just about every major figure in jazz, became bestknown as part of the vanguard of modern jazz in the early '60s. For seven years Jones accompanied John Coltrane and developed a unique approach to rhythm and percussive sound. After Trane's death in Jones went out on his own, still striving for new dimensions in jazz and rhythm. His current group, though still sans piano as has been his wont, seems at the forefront of the current avante garde (if there still is such a thing) yet is playing more straightahead music.

The energy is there, as is the chordal and melodic structure of contemporary jazz, yet it is a more quiet energy. The tunes played in Tuesday night's first set showed a melodic approach I hadn't expected. They also were more identifiably rhythmic than I had heard Jones present in recent years. Reedman Chico Freeman was especially well-suited for Jone's new group. Whether playing tenor, soprano or flute Freeman delicately complemented the beautiful guitar work of Ryo Kawasaki.

Jones will be at the Lighthouse through Thursday, May 27. Where to go, What to do this Read FRIDAY Tabloid GEKERftl CINEMA THEATRES ALL CINEMAS S1.50 'TIL 2:30 P.M.
