Ex-Dictator Jimenez
Languishes In Luxurious
Venezuela Prison Cell
CARACAS, Venezuela GW — Ex
dictator Perez Jimenez was held in
a luxury cell of Venezuela’s main
penitentiary awaiting trial on
charges of embezzling millions
during his term in office.
With the dubious distinction of
being the first former chief of
state extradited from the United
States, Jimenez was flown by
chartered plane from Miami to a
heavily guarded Venezuelan air
force base on Friday.
Surrounded by detectives in
eight patrol cars and national
guardsmen in three trucks, he was
sped to the prison at San Juan
fie los Morros, 50 miles southwest
of Caracas.
Permitted under Venezuelan
law to enjoy any prison comforts
he can pay for, Jimenez had a spe
cial, air-conditioned, isolated cell
equipped with a television set
waiting for him.
In a recent court suit in Miami,
it was alleged that the former dic
tator was worth at least $700 mil
lion.

Montana Fishermen Make
\nnual Effort to Catch
‘Monster of Flathead Lake’
POLSON, Mont, iff — Fisher
men have been using whole chick
ens and large chunks of liver in
their annual effort to catch the
Monster of Flathead Lake.
As usual the monster has out
smarted the anglers. In fact, the
big fish—if it a fish—has been
sighted only twice all year. That
is way below average.
Mr. and Mrs. Dean Howell
watched from their summer cabin
April 29 while an enormous fish
cavorted near the east shore of
the big lake. Twelve persons re
ported seeing a “long black ob
ject” in June in a section of the
28-mile-long lake.
No ore is certain the monster is
a fish. Some believe it is a stur
geon. Skeptics think it may be a
floating log or an overweight skin
diver.
Whatever it is, fishermen have
been trying to catch it for 50
years. Old time residents recall
hearing Indians tell of seeing a
superfish in the lake before the
Flathead Indian Reservation was
opened to white settlement.
Money awaits the fisherman
who finally lands the monster.
Big Fish Unlimited, a local organ
ization, offers a $1,000 prize. The
organization’s president, J. F. Mc
Alear, added $100 this summer and
$25 is offered by the Flathead
Courier of Poison for the first pic
ture of the monster.
The biggest fish to come out of
the lake was a 7W foot white stur
geon weighing 181 pounds. It was
caught May 28, 1955 by C. Leslie
Griffith.
George Jessel Acknowledges
He Fathered Actress' Daughter
LOS ANGELES W — Comedian
George Jessel has acknowledged
he fathered actress Joan Tyler’s
daughter and says he will pay
$500 a month support for the child.
In a paternity suit against the
65-year-old entertainer, Miss Ty
ler, 29, said Jessel was the father
of her daughter, Charris Carla,
born Dec. 27, 1961.
Jessel also took out two life in
surance policies totaling $35,000
naming the child beneficiary.

Legislatures Bog
Down In Flood
Of 81,000 Bills
By The Associated Press
Has the mass of bills clogging
the hoppers of America’s 50 state
legislatures bogged down these
traditional centers of representa
tive government to the point
where they no longer can do their
jobs?
A survey by the Associated
Press shows that the amount of
work tackled by state lawmakers
this year was staggering. They
worked their way through more
than 81,000 bills, an average of
more than 1,600 per state.
Reporters compiling the figures
made repeated references to strug
gles to reduce the mass of legisla
tion, find time to give bills pub
lic hearings, and get them out for
debate before jammed session-end
windups.
There is evidence that the 7,/83
state lawmakers, many of them
farmers and small businessmen
with little government experience,
often feel overwhelmed.
“It is impossible for an indi
vidual legislator to be informed on
all the bills,” a reporter said in
assessing Missouri’s legislative
problems.
“Most are accepted on faith on
the recommendations of the com
mittees which are supposed to con
sider and study them before let
ting them out for floor debate.”
The 1.154 bills introduced in
Missouri were below average for
the nation and compared with a
high of 8.977 for New York. The
totals ranged down to Vermont’s
477. The reports showed more
than 30 state legislative bodies
handled 1,000 or more proposals.
The figures compare with 17,230
measures introduced in the two
year 87th Congress, which ended
Jan. 3. Of this total, 1569 became
law.
The problem is not new and has
been studied by committees both
in and out of government.
The Committee on Legislative
Processes and Procedures of the
National Legislative Conference,
for example, observed in a 1961
I report:
“In recent years the people have
come to realize, in increasing de
gree, that the capacity of state
governments to meet the demands
placed upon them . . . requires the
unshackling of the legislatures.”
If the number of bills passed is
an indicator, the lawmakers are
getting something done. Nearly
25,000 measures were passed this
year.
The range of problems is simi
lar to many of those in Congress—
civil rights, huge appropriation
bills, government employe salaries,
public works and taxes.
