In 50 recent cases, 27 districts chose to "consign" their pupils to approved schools rather than consolidate. Twenty three chose to consolidate.

In 33 other cases, consolidation took place without charters ever being in question. At least three counties, Clark, Delaware and Hocking, have completed their consolidation programs. But in Hocking county the largest consolidation is held up by order of the common pleas court. Opponents claim consolidation would mean many children would have to go greater distances to new schools. This is particularly important in rural areas.

Bundy for questioning was left up in the air today. A conference with Allen Dulles, director of the supersecret Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) where Bundy is employed, resulted in at least temporary postponement of McCarthy's plans to question him.

MCCARTHY, Wisconsin Republican accused Dulles last week of blocking the subcommittee's efforts to bring Bundy before it for questioning. He called it "a blatant attempt to flout the authority of a congressional committee." McCarthy told the senate Bundy had contributed $400 to the defense fund of Alger Hiss, former state department employe convicted of lying under oath when he denied he had slipped secret papers to a prewar Soviet spy ring. After subcommittee members conferred behind closed doors with Dulles yesterday afternoon, McCarthy said Bundy "may still be called" but that a decision had been deferred pending attempts to work out arriangements for questioning witnesses without impairing security. A statement issued by McCarthy, and.approved by Dulles, also said the subcommittee will turn over to the CIA all information it has' about Bundy and "immediately thereafter the agency will re-evaluate Mr. Bundy's security status under President Eisenhower's new security order." CIA Officials 3aid Dulles took a firm stand against permitting Bundy to testify because of the sensitive nature of the intelligence agency.

They said there is no present plan to subpoena Bundy, but that if he should be summoned he would be 'advised not to appear. McCarthy's statement added that "Mr. Dulles assured the subcommittee "that there is no plan to give Mr. Bundy duties in addition to his present assignment." McCarthy had said he understood Bundy was under consideration for assignment as liaison officer between the National Security Council and the Atomic Energy Commission.

Long Inquiry Solved Deer Shooting Case Fining of four Brewster men in Canton municipal court Monday and yesterday in connection with the shooting of a deer out of season was preceded by a month of work on the part of three officials of the law enforcement section of the state wildlife division, Robert Underwood, Stark county game protector, who recently was promoted to the position of law enforcement supervisor- revealed today. Furnished with a tip that a deer had been shot illegally in the vicinity of Brewster, Underwood, Ben H. Anderson, law enforcement supervisor of district No. 3 of the wildlife division, and George Grif-' fith, of the law enforcement section of the district, but steadily gathered sufficient evidence to warant the arrest of the four men.

THEIR INVESTIGATION led them to a food locker where, after securing a search warrant, they found a quantity of meat which they believed was venison. To secure positive identification of the meat as venison, the three wildlife enforcement officials had it inspected by a veterinarian and by a professor at the Kent Stats university laboratory. Assured that the meat was venison, Anderson, Underwood and Griffith then contacted the owner of the locker in which the meat was found and finally learned the names of the three other men involved in the case. The four men were arrested on affidavits secured from the Canton municipal court. Two of the men, Donald C.

Otto and Paul E. Anderson, were fined $100 and costs each on.charges of taking a deer out of season. Similar fines were given to John M. Cindia for assisting in the possession and transportation of the deer and to Daniel N. Alexander for illegal possession of deer meat.

DOG IS FOJUND HERE The owner of a dog which parently pulled a chain loose to gain its freedom can get the dog from a local veterinarian to whom the canine was taken after it was found in City Hall park Tuesday evening by Patrolman Thomas Logan. The chain was still attached to dog's collar when Logan came across it. Also attached to the collar were licenses for 1951 and 1952, the latter bearing number 27122.
