AT AN AMAZING BARGAINl, Glynn's Girl Wants Hands On Will HOLLYWOOD 'ITL- Attorney Molvin llelli said Wednesday he would seek to have court jurisdic tion over Krrol Flynn's will trans ferred Iroin New Y'oik to Califor nia. Belli, acting as the attorney for the late actor's 17-year-old eirl friend1, lieverly Aadland, said his mjve would be one of three ae tiois dt'4ned to force recoKni tion of a 157 w J by Klynn leav ing one third of his estate to Miss Aadland. He declined to say what the other two leiial maneuvers would be. adding that Flynn's New York attorney. Justin Gcldenbock, would find ortt through summons or oth er serviigs. L'elli said he felt the matter pre sently was being handled in New York courts only because Clolden bock lived there. The residence of an attorney in a given state does not qualify it as the place of jur isdiction, he said. Flynn made his home alternate ly in Hollywood and Jamaica. He died Oct. 14 in Vancouver, B.C., where he had a gone on a business deal. A will drawn in 1954 and filed in New Yo:k last week left the bulk of Flynn's estate to his widow,1 Patrice Wymore. But ob .Monday an unsigned will dated 1957 was filed in New York, favoring Miss Aadland. Belli said the unsigned will was only one of three wills Miss Aad land wrote at Flynn's dictation. lie said two of the wills were left unsigned because they were mailed by her spelling errors. But the third will, substantially the same as the other two. wa signed and lelt her one-third of Flynn's estate.

Steel Strike's Pinch To Be Felt This Winter NEW YORK UPI Consum ers will feet the pinch of the na tion's longest and most costly steel strike this fall and . winter in the frrm of shortages of most cars, refrigerators and other du rable goods, Iron Age magazine said today. These shortages arc not likely to be critical, the trade weekly said, but the consumer's range of choice will be limited. Many manufacturers of these products have alreaJy had to cut back er shut down production completely, the magazine said. Regardless of the date of the strike's end. it added, further cutbacks for weeks arc inevita ble. Even auto plants with top pri ority for new steel do not expect to return to production before three to five weeks after the mills reopen. Iron Age said. Many appliance dealers are out of 1959 models, and next year's models ore slow coming in. the trade publication said. This situa tion will grow progressively worse until the mills resume production. zalion of the inadequacy of our present irrigation agriculture to supply food a :d fiber in future decades. .... B'g Population Increase Dominy said "not only will the-e lie 230 million eople by 1975 when most present irriga tion projects now under construc tion or authorized are completed but consumption trends shaw thut occple will be eating more spe cialty and health .foods, grown Oi irrigated land . . . lik; winter veg etables and fruits." He said the reclamation pro gram over the years had proved successful, but added: "the im portance of full water develop ment is so great not only to the West but to the nation we can not afford to coast on the momen tum of a successful program." Dominy said the reclamation fund will become increasingly more important in the bureau's ctnstruction program. For this reason, he said, the old formula of determining project feasibility "should be reexamined." Office Due Oregon Man "We must find ways and means for all beneficiaries to bear their full shares of the costs of a proj ect," he said. Another speaker today was Guy C. Jackson, Jr., of Anahuac, Tex., president of the Association. He said pending legislation to set aside vast wilderness areas was monstrous." He said the wilderness bills vio lated his sense of conservation. William E. Welsh, secretary-manager of the Association, called this one of "the most crucial con ventions in NRA history."
