No Retirement for 'Amos McCoy'
HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) -- Walter Brennan, that cagey hick on "The Real McCoy's," is back at work on a new series, content to be acting instead of loafing around a filmland swimming pool.
As "Amos McCov," Academy Award-winning Walter was one of television's most popular personalities. The series ran for six years, and it's fair to assume that Walter's slice of the pie was enough to keep him eating for many years to come.
WHEN THE SHOW ended, Walter and his wife Ruth, whom he married 44 years ago, went to Europe for a vacation.
Returning to his home in Moorpark, a small community 50 miles from Hollywood, Brennan sifted through offers to work in a new series, anxious to get back into harness with the right team.
He finally settled on ABC-TV's new "Tycoon" series in which he plays a self-made millionaire, a character not unlike the real-life Brennan.
"I COULDN'T SIT around," said Walter in his office at Desilu Studio. "I'd go nuts. I don't have much spare time. I shouldn't even be here today but I had some things to do."
Even though Walter is a three-time Oscar winner and an important star, he lives a quiet personal life many miles away from Hollywood's glamor.
"I was never much of a Hollywood
WALTER AND HIS chauffeur drive from his Moorpark park to the Desilu Studio in Culver City each day that he's filming "Tycoon."
"I leave there at 7 o'clock in the morning and get back home at eight or nine at night," said Walter. "I guess I should keep an apartment in town, but I love my home too much."
Walter's home is one that he describes as "just a house," which is "plenty big." It's situated on eleven acres of land which is well-stocked with grapefruit trees.
Alumni Association GUF Get Citations
The American Alumni Council has cited KU in two areas of its annual publications and promotions competition.
The KU Alumni Association earned second place for its materials on dues and membership promotions.
The Greater University Fund earned third place for a single direct mail piece in the annual giving section.
The Colorado Alumnus, a newspaper of the University of Colorado, won a third place and received a distinctive merit award for editor's comment and opinion materials. No other Big Eight schools placed in the competition.
He also has a "small swimming pool," standard equipment for a major star.
WALTER HAS NO organized hockey. He is a member of the Lakeside Golf Club—although he doesn't play golf—along with many of filmland's biggest names. Occasionally on a Saturday Walter will drive from his Moorpark home to Lakeside for lunch with friends.
"I think working is my hobby," he said. "I'm happier when I'm working."
His talents have brought Brennan plenty of work during his many years in movies and television. His earnings have purchased a ranch in northeastern Oregon, a section of the country he tries to visit often.
THE BRENNANS have a daughter, two sons and 14 grandchildren. One of the sons, Andy, is associate producer of dad's television series, and the other son, Mike, runs Walter's Oregon cattle ranch.
Almost any conversation with Walter Brennan will have elements of his two favorite subjects, a love of God and country.
"I go out every morning and pull up my flag," said the 70-year-old Walter. "I thank God morning and night for my blessings. I sure have them."

Pharmacy School Names 4 Scholars
Three men will receive Hall scholarships of $250 each: Gerald Robert Brizendine, Eureka fourth year student in pharmacy; Norman Michael Shanks, Winfield senior, and Theodore William Wrench, Emporia senior.
Mary Elizabeth Hodges, senior from Monument, has been appointed an honorary Hall scholar and will receive a stipend of $50.
The scholarships memorialize the late George Guy Hall, who was for many years a pharmacist and civic leader in Oakley. The awards are the gift of his widow, Mrs. Edith Hall, who now lives in Salina. She said she feels the award of these scholarships carries on Hall's tradition of having assisted many Oakley young people to attend college. He died in 1952.
Four George Guy Hall scholars have been appointed in the School of Pharmacy for 1964-65.
