ERROL FLYNN'S YACHT CALLED TOO LARGE

. HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 27 (U. P.).— Erroll Flynn, the Robin Hood of the movies, gazed wistfully at his big white yacht tied up in Los Angeles harbor today and wished he had his final American citizenship papers so he might sail her. Mr. Flynn is a native of Great Britain and has only first citizenship papers. Government authorities have notified him that his

yacht, the Sirocco, of 31 tons and |;

well over 60 feet in length, exceeds somewhat the dimensions permitted for alien ownership under American registry. Assistant U. S. Attorney Norman Neukon said that he would file formal libel proceedings against the boat some time this week, and Mr. Flynn will then have to go into court to prevent the palatial ship being taken away.

It has a head on esch end of its body so that it can proceed with ease in either direction, and each head is equipped with a poisonous beak. “An old trapper, who had one for a pet, once accidentally brushed his wooden leg against the magoo’s beak. The peg leg swelled so fast that he had to keep whittling it down to get into his pants. “In this way,” Larison concluded, “he was kept in kindling wood all winter.” Mr. Hulett is skeptical whether the story it a lie because, he says, Larison is & professional fact-finder.
