L|TA GREY LOOKING
TO EARLY PAY DAY
Attorneys for Charlie Chap
Inns Wife to Seek Slice
of ST, 900, 900 Cash.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, January 20.-Lita
Grey Chaplin looked forward to pay
day today as her attorneys prepared
to go into court to collect from Charlie
Chaplin temporary alimony awarded
in divorce suit against the wealthy
comedian, who, it was disclosed, has
almost 81 1000 in cold cash.
Receivers of the Chaplin fortune,
appointed at the wifes instance, yes
terday reported an examination of
bank books found in the studio safes
showed cash balances for Chaplin and
his corporations tOtallng almost
81, 000, 900 scattered through banks in
Hollywood. Los Angeles, New York,
England and France.
or this amount $74,547 is in the
actors personal accounts, approx
imately $4,000 of which is in Cali
fornia banks and in the jurisdiction
of the courts. This is sufficient to
cover the present sums due Mrs.
Chaplin Her attorneys, however, de-
sire that payment of future alimony
installmentS be assured, and 1t is upon
this issue that corporation funds may
be attacked.
Report on Other Assets.
In addition to $913,372 in bank
deposits of Chaplin and his corpora
tons, the receivers reported assets OF
$3.50 ,065, all readily convertible and eX-
elusive of real estate. The CharHe
Chaplin Film Co. showed a bank bal
ance of $540,272; the Regent Film Co.
Inc, $292,665, and the Chaplin Stu
dios. Inc, 1851.
On the basis of the receivers report,
Superior Judge Walter p. Guerin
ordered the Chaplin Studios, Inc, to
post surety bond of $1,000,00O to pro-
tect Mrs. Chaplin's interests pending
an appeal from the receivershlp.
New York offices of the Chaplin in
terests will decide whether the bond
will be forthcoming.
In the meantime the studio re-
manned under the control of the re-
ownership.
On the heels of yesterdays court
developments came the announcement
by Federal authorities that they
would require Chaplin to file bond
of approximately $1,000,000 within 10
days as the result of the Govern
ment's income tax liens, which total
$1,073,721.
United States After Back Taxes.
The Government has filed the
claims in an effort to collect on the
screen stars income over a period
of four or five years.
The bill which Mrs. Chaplin's at
torneys have made out for the re-
ceivers calls for the payment of two
monthly temporary alimony install
ments of $4,000 each, an additional
$4,000 for lawyers fees, $3.50 for
bond premiums and an item of $3.50
for miscellaneous legal expenses.
Lyndol X. Young, representing the
comedians wife, has declared that in
the event the alimony payments
were not made he would seek the
arrest of Chaplin for contempt of
court whenever he comes within
jurisdiction of the California courts.
This drastic step cannot be taken I'M
less Chaplin, who is now in New
York, returns to this State and con-
tinues in default of the alimony pay
ments.

Pleads for Cleanup.

proach to Washington" he SAID
There is no other such important
gateway to the Nations Capital as
that through Arlington County. 1t Is
in bad condition. 1t needs cleaning
up. That it is not more presentaoie
is not the fault of any one. 1t Is
simply a condition that has grown up.
1t is unfortunate that Arlington Coun-
ty should have been ceded back to
Virginia. for it is in sentiment and
spirit today, and should be in reality,
an integral part of the District OF
Columbia. We must have fitting ap-
proach to the Arlington Memorial
Bridge, and 1t is up to the county to
get it. The Arlington County condl-
ton is one that needs a firm hand and
a. strong will to clean it up"
Mr.. Fippin predicted that the origi-
nal So 500, 900 which it was estimated
would buy the land for the Shenandoah
National Park must now be expanded
to 100000 and possibly million or
two more.

but we know it will cost more than
the original estimate. My guess is
that it will cost about $4,000, 900, but
when we get it all in fee we can go to
