And he can repeat big scenes from his father's movie roles. The veteran musicians who played with Frank at his New York appearance said good things about him: "He's bright, intelligent and real'y wants to learn," one of them said. Another one said "He stands in front of the band, and digs evervthing and always seems thrilled to be there."

Cops Were Attentive For a little over two years prior to this shooting, said Silver, a special detective squad under Assistant Chief Inspector James Knott and Lt.

Victor Kaufman had been giving the Gallo mob a lot of attention. Silver called a conference with police the day after the shooting. Silver assigned Assistant District Attorney Albert V. DeMeo to work with the cops on the attempted assassinations. "I considered this," said the district attorney, "a most important inquiry, possibly the most important that has come across my desk in a dozen years." In the months that followed.

The crooner refused to sleep or leave the telephone for a moment. Wide Offers of Help Talking briefly with a newsman, he said, "I just don't understand it. I can't figure why." He said offers of help, including planes, helicopters and mounted horsemen, had come from all over the world.

He said he had last seen Frank Jr. about a week ago when his son was appearing in the Los Angeles area. Then emotion overcame, him and he could say no more. He could only stare at the telephone.

Jane wriggled and shook and finally divested herself of her floor-length black fox stole. She tossed it aside as if it were the seventh veil. Then she stamped on it. Tantrum? No.

The darn stole had apparently flicked against someone's cigaret and was smoldering. So was Miss Russell when she surveyed the damage and the audience her little act had attracted.

Washineton. Dec. 10 (UFI The silent march was a follow-up to Sunday's demonstration when 10,000 one-time prisoners of war paraded to demand pension inei eases. The demands are the first serious domestic challenge to Ludwig Erhard since he took over the chancellorship two months ago. He has vowed he will not give in to pressure groups because it "would make his tight.budget vulnerable.
