Flynn said the Cuban of ficial, "in a drunk and dis orderly condition" and flour ishing two guns, burst into the actor's apartment at the Como doro hotel on March 11 while the actor was giving a party. When newsmen asked the Hollywood hero why he didn't throw the intruder out, Flynn replied, "I never argue with a .45, particularly when it's in the hands of a drunk." Flynn's comely companions were identified as blonde Conitie Woods of New York and Myrna Albadalego of At lanta.

Present indications are that it will take New York City considerably longer to get its own star than it took Hawaii and Alaska. Nevertheless, some tax weary residents of the nation's greatest city are whooping rebel yells and hollering seces sion. State Sen. Joseph Zaretski, a city boy and Democratic majority leader in the state Senate, takes it seriously enough to have offered an amendment to the state con stitution setting up the city as a separate state. Proposal Fares Badly Unfortunately for the cause, his proposal fared badly in the Senate Tuesday. It was brought to a vote and iust about everyone voted loudly and whimsically for it, but Speaker Malcolm Wilson ruled that it had been voted down. Mayor Robert F. Wagner said recently that secession would have a "great deal of benefit for the city and should be given thought" despite the obvious difficulties such a move would have. New York City is having trouble getting enough funds to keep going. Wagner has pro posed various new taxes but must get consent of the Legis lature, meeting in Albany, to levy them. Several of the mayor's pet schemes have been turned down by the Legislature, dom inated by upstate interests and the Republican Party. fcase Tax Burden New York City pays be tween 55 and 60 per cent of the state's total revenue, ac cording to Wagner, and gets back only about 35 per cent of that revenue. When a stale budget exceeds $2 billion, as this year's does, that gets into the vicinity of big money. If New York Citv were a governmental entity the tax burden would, secession advo cates say, be considerably cut. The money never would leave town. So, this fabled metropolis just ups and secedes and that's that? Not quite. Secession, as a number of Southern states found out some years ago, is a tough thing to bring about.

MT of New York City rate State Advocated professor of constitutional law at Columbia university, points out that secession - the peace ful kind - involves consent of the state. Legislature and ac tion of both houses of Con Special Meeting Is Planned on School Reorganization (Continued From Page 1) Josephine county school dis trict reorganization board and school officials do not want to take any action regarding possible consolidation of any outside districts with that county' school system until disposition of House Bill 41, a letter from Josephine coun ty school officials stated, Mekvold said, "There is no question but what the bill will pass quite soon." Gail said he has been in formed that it has passed the house and needs only two readings in the Senate. House Bill 41 and its Senate amend ments relate to the county unit system of school districts extending across county lines. Committee members inter preted the Josephine county letter as "closing the door" to possible consolidation with Jackson county school dis tricts. However, members agreed to await the outcome of the consolidation of six dis tricts in the Medford area. Applegate district remains a question mark due to its geo graphical location. A committee member sug gested considerable thought be given to continuing a voca tional agriculture program for Applegate High school stu dents if and when the district is reorganized within Jackson county. The 40 students now attend Grants Pass High school. Dr. Donald McGeary, Phoe nix, a member of the commit tee favoring joining with Medford, read the results of Opiimisim Seen In Rogue Wording Grants Pass - Optimism was expressed here this week con cerning the possibility of re inserting the industrial use clause into Senate Bill 183 in the state legislature, designed to broaden the allowable beneficial uses of the Rogue river. Len Grover, manager of the Grants Pass Chamber of Com merce, said that his proposal that wording of the bill rela tive to industrial uses of the stream not exclude certain in dustries which might now pollute the air and waters ap pears to have a good chance of being included in the pro posed legislation. He declared that to spe cifically mention such in dustries by name which now would pollute the air and water would in years to come still bar them from such usage of water power of the river even though they progressed sufficiently so that their op erations would not then cause pollution. Josephine County Repre sentative Fay Bristol said Fri day in Salem that he had re ceived petitions signed by 1,835 persons supporting in dustrial use of the river as against 9 opposing such an in sertion in the measure. Suspects Quizzed In Death of Girl Spokane - (UPI) - Police planned to question additional suspects today in efforts to track down the sex maniac who criminally assaulted and strangled nine-year-old Can dice Rogers of Spokane. E. W. Parsons, assistant po lice chief, traveled to Port land to interview a man there. A 36-year-old possible suspect in the Lewis county jail at Chehalis was cleared by Parsons of any connection with the crime Tuesday night. A transient in Colorado also was cleared. The girl vanished March 6 while selling Camp Fire Girls mints in her neighborhood. Her body was found covered with pine boughs March 22 in a remote area 12 miles north west of here. A i W v , it An !- t HOTEL MEDFORD iSfV gress. The President's signa ture and approval in a state referendum are not constitu tionally provided for, he says, but customarily are required by Congress, which has the right to require such things. a recent poll of the Phoenix area. A total of 636 people parti cipated, 381 gave their first choice as Medford, 163 fa vored no consolidation as their first choice and 92 fa vored consolidation with Tal ent, Dr. McGeary stated. Of those people favoring no consolidation, 59 favored Medford as second choice and 53 were in favor of consolida tion with Talent as a second choice. Mel Lattie, Phoenix, a member of the group favoring consolidation with Talent or having Phoenix boundaries remain as they are, read a pe tition on which he said were 1,086 signatures of residents of Talent and Phoenix areas requesting an election on combining Phoenix and Tal ent. He explained that this peti tion did not mean that signers were in favor of a Talent Phoenix regrouping but mere ly wanted to bring it to a vote. Both sides claimed misrep resentation by the other side during the canvassing opera tions. Hockersmith said he had received at least three calls from persons in the Phoe nix area stating that door-to-door poll takers claimed to represent the county school reorganization committee. An alternate proposal from Curtis Barnes, Phoenix school board member, was read. Barnes proposes that both Talent and Phoenix consoli date with Medford and the Phoenix High school be re tained, including the voca tional agriculture unit. Students from adjacent areas could go to Phoenix High school. Students from those districts consolidating with Medford could take vo cational agriculture c.t Phoe nix through special arrange ments, he said. Tax Inequalities This proposition, he said, would eliminate tax inequal ities, eliminate objectional transportation of an estimat ed 300 junior and senior high school students, eliminate possible resultant overcrowd ing of Medford facilities, until new ones can be constructed, eliminate transportation of students from south Medford to Phoenix. Phoenix has modern high school facilities capable of ex pansion. Student enrollment in the high school has doubled since 1950, Barnes stated in his letter. Under such a plan Phoenix High school would easily reach an enrollment of 500 students and desirable graduating class of 100 stu dents. A letter was read from Fay Carver, and Mrs. Samuel James, both of Phoenix, re questing consolidation peti tions for petitioning voters on consolidation of Phoenix and Talent. Could Consolidate The county school superin tendent said if action is start ed soon Phoenix and Talent could be consolidated before the next school year. Reorgan ization proceedings with eith er Medford or Talent would probably mean two years be fore the reorganized district would be in operation, Mek vold said. The entire Phoe nix district, including Grif fin Creek, would have to be consolidated, H o c k e r smith pointed out. Asked how many boys take vocational agriculture in Phoenix High school now, Phoenix' Superintendent Ern est James said about 30 per cent, 36 of the 109 boys en rolled in high school. Asked by one Phoenix res ident why Jackson county does not adapt the county district such as Klamath county has, Hockersmith said only five counties have it, which indicates it is not too desirable. Jackson county vot ers have rejected this propo sition twice, a member of the county school reorganization committee said.
