Very Rich,Very Poor Call New York Home
By Jack V. Fox United Press International
NEW YORK—The old song went "East side, West side, all around the town." But the late Al Smith wouldn't recognize the sidewalks of New York today.
It's East Side, West Side, all right. Bitterly so. The more than 60 block long Central Park splits Manhattan Island into two worlds—one for those with money, one for those with very little.
In the glittering new buildings east of Fifth Avenue, single bedroom apartments are being advertised, and rented at $390 a month unfurnished. Across the park on the west side, a $4 1/2 room apartment can be had for $110 because of the
INVERNESS, Scotland —(UPI)—What won't they think of next department: A Scottish frozen food expert says his firm has perfected a method of freezing flowers.
Now They Can Freeze Flowers
Firm manager Alan Thornton said Americans started it all by asking for some frozen heather.
Meanwhile, Thornton said, his company has tried the same process with roses.
"There were difficulties." Thornton said. "The heather became brittle when frozen and broke when handled. But now we have found a way of freezing it which is completely successful.
"Unfortunately we discovered how to do it too late for this year's St. Andrew's Night — the heather crop was over. By next year we hope to be in this business in a big way."
"And it works wonderfully," Thornton said. "I wore a rose bud in my buttonhole for five days last week after it had been frozen for three weeks."
Won't Make Same Mistake
neighborhood and because it dangerous to get to.
HINKLEY, England — (UPI) — David Lee. 18, admitted in court yesterday that he made a mistake when he assaulted a man who was "accosting a little girl."
The great chunks of building, alongside once elite riverside drive with majestic views of the Hudson are taboo for any status seeker. Spacious family units are split into half a dozen apartments, with the tenancy increasingly Puerto Rican.
Lee found out later the man had been trying to tell his daughter to go home to supper.
The newly arrived in Manhattan are astonished to find the city so markedly segregated into islands of wealth and respectability, poverty and criminality. They are shocked at the savageness of a metropolis which in so many imaginations is a sophisticated jewel of the arts, the theater, fashion, publishing, advertising, finance, world trade.
It is all of that. But it is also one of the toughest cities in the world. And, according to police figures, growing worse every year.
There is a murder a day in New York on the average.
In one weekend, 109 men and
Mental Health Program Slipping
TOPEKA — (UPI) — A critical breakdown in the state mental health program, avoidable only if hospital personnel are paid higher salaries, was predicted yesterday by the Governor's Advisory Commission on Institutional Management.
The commission met with Gov. George Docking for one and onehalf hours after the governor had postponed a previous meeting and had recommended the commission meet instead with his legislative assistant, Z. Arthur Nevins.
The commission, headed by Dr. Robert Klein of Dodge City, had insisted on speaking directly with the governor. Klein told Docking that the state department of institutions is losing numerous personnel, chiefly because of low salaries.
The most serious losses, he said, are psychiatrists, many of them trained in the state's 5-year and 3-year training programs. He added that the programs could be "seriously curtailed or discontinued" if steps are not taken quickly to hold on to the trained personnel.
Dr. George Jackson, director of institutions, said 16 psychiatrists have been lost from Topeka State Hospital in the past year and two from Osawatomie State Hospital.

There are islands within this island. One is an area of homosexuals and on evenings they can be seen on parade with their French poodles and Dachshunds.
There is another island called Grand Central Station and it is the scene every weekday night of a mass exodus from Manhattan by those who work here but have moved to suburban homes.
Every big city has had its transition, but none more pronounced and continuing than New York's exodus to bedrooms in New Jersey. Long Island, Westchester and clear up into Connecticut.
Times Square works in shifts. Daytime sees throngs of rubber-neckers. Evening brings the theatrical crowd. Midnight and Broadway surrenders to the night creatures from the 4 a.m. movie houses, the dime-a-dance joints, the pinball galleries and the sleazy bars a block away on Eighth Avenue.
The finest restaurants in the world are tucked in basements along the side streets or, like the new "four seasons" atop the glass pinnacle of the Seagrams buildings, perched in the sky with breathtaking views of the city. Here an average man can easily spend his week's salary on a meal for his family.
The migration has New York worried. Its officials see no great exaggeration in a recent Harvard University study which saw Manhattan moving on a course that some day would see it "inhabited only by the very rich and the very poor."
But take a taxi over to the middle east side, a rectangle stretching from around 34th Street up to 80th and from Fifth Avenue over to the East River, and you are in a land of opulence and luxury.
Skyscrapers have shot up — it seems like overnight—along once disreputable Third Avenue whose bums moved away when exposed to light by the removal of the ancient elevated train tracks. Other new buildings glitter along Park and Madison.
A very rare sight in New York is a streetwalker. The late Mayor Fiorello Laguardia chased the prostitutes from public display 15 years ago and, while the call girl racket flourishes, the police have kept the streets clear.
Here are the luxury hotels with uniformed doormen opening gleaming black limousines; antique shops where a wife can drive even a wealthy husband to despair; Tiffany's where they ran out of solid gold golf putters at $1,300 apiece.
There are more than 20,000 cops in New York. Their hands are more than full. Juvenile delinquency reaches its peak in steamy August and then is ignored for another winter. Greenwich Village is becoming increasingly a problem as male and female, black and white, build the 'Beatnik' legend.
