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.

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

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."

Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.l
chrrged Wednesday that America's
policy of "cold shoulder to Red
China and of warm embrace to
Chiang Kai-shek Is leading us into

He told a meeting of the San

I'orter said the U.N. should rec
ognize Red China and the U.S.

Chiang Kai-Shek. He urged trade
with Red China, the international
hrntion of Formosa and the Pes
cadores Island, and an exchange
with Red China of tourists, gov

"Ctvang evidently has no serious
intention of reconquering the Chi
