Rossellini, India Woman Say Slory Of Love 'Nonsense' Bombay, India, May 20 OP Italian Film Director Roberto Rossellini and a young married Indian beauty today denied as "absolute nonsense" and "hum bug" reports that they are in love and that he will divorce Ingrid Bergman.

She has been working with Rossellini on an Indian docu mentary film. Relationship Professional Both Rossellini and Mrs. Das Gupta, mother of two young children, denied in statements from their adjoining rooms at the swank Taj Mahal hotel here that their relationship was any thing but professional. "Absolute nonsense," Rossel- i lini told the United Press. "This is simply and utterly an inva sion on someone's part. "It's not the first time some newspaperman has indulged in fantasy. About all I can do is ! deny it. I deny this report too. It's fantasy. What more can I say?" In a separate statement, Mrs. Das-Gupta said she was "work ing with Mr. Rosellini.

Blacksmith Shops Do Fair Business r. New Orleans (IT) The ma chine age has pushed the horse and buggy out of business in most of the nation, but New Or leans and Louisiana blacksmith shops still do a fair business. Eleven blacksmith shops in New Orleans turn out $68,000 in business each year, and the . 93 blacksmith shops in Lousiana ring up some $306,000 in annual sales. The artisans who work with hammer and tongs in their shops are not just for the tourists. Throughout the bayou country, horse-drawn carts are still used and are considered a practical mode of transportation. In New Orleans' French Quar ter, vendors of vegetables, hard ware, and ice are perched atop canopied horse-drawn buggies as they ride through the narrow streets peddling their wares and shouting their own advertise ments. . For the tourists who want a change of pace from the atomic age, thousands line up each year for a leisurely ride in a horse and carriage among the bearded oaks and historic shrines and sites. The whip-wielding Negro guide's, clad in s.wallow-tailed coats and top hats, have also fashioned a straw hat adorned with colorful blossoms for Dob bin. Horsepower underneath the hoods of fast cars can't compare with the live version, and local blacksmiths, busy at the anvil, predict business will flourish as usual this year. Bank President, 87r Foils Robbery Try Richmondville, N. Y. (W An alert, 87-year-old bank presi dent foiled a bank robery at tempt by a stocky, gray-haired mother of 14 children here Mon day.

FISH & FRIES 49c SHRIMP & FRIES 59c 5C MEDFORD (ORESOrT) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Del Norle Has Numerous Pelicans Crescent City, Calif. Of) Some 19 miles north of Crescent City at the northern end of the Redwood Empire is Pelican Bay, habitat of the satchel-mouths of the bird world. Awkward when they waddle about on shore, pelicans are graceful and deadly pieces of feathered machinery when they take an aerial bead on an unsus pecting fish and plummet into the sea to gather in a meal. These efficient fishers, usually present at the Pelican Bay State P"ark in great numbers, attain maximum diving speed by fold ing their wings and dropping on their prey with a resounding splash. Pelicans are so equipped as to allow for a margin of error when diving ,after their prey. Should they fail to hit an edi ble target directly with their formidable beaks, they can still gather in fish in the voluminous pouches attached to their bills. Keeping the pelicans company in this unique five-acre park are other species such as puffins, murres, gulls, terns, auklets and marbled murrelots. A rewarding fishing spot for sea birds, Pelican Bay also pays handsome fish dividends for va cationers who return to this seg ment of Del Norte county year after year. Pelican Beach is a treasure chest for those with a marine or botanical bent. The supply of driftwood in bizarre sculptural forms is almost endless, the beach abounds .with unusual rocks and pebbles nearby are sea grasses, wild verbena, wild strawberries and dainty wild flowers in the natural rock gar dens along the cliffs. Portland School Board Starts Cutting Budget Portland (in The Portland school board Monday night started the task of chopping $400,000 out of its budget of more than $25 million in the face of an enrollment increase next year of 2500 to 3000 pupils . The budget-cutting came after settlement of the legislative bat tle over key district plans for distributing state funds to school districts. The formula finally evolved by the lawmakers was less harsh on the Portland dis trict than that originally pro posed but would still cut the dis trict's budget by nearly $500, 000, out of the $6 million it had counted on from state sources. The less stringent state law enabled the district, however, to release plans for a new south east district high school and architects were authorized to proceed with working drawings for a new campus at Southeast 86th ave. and Bush st.
