Mrs. Bloedofn charged that her
husband contemplated div0rcing her
and marrying young woman of
Denver, Col, and quoted passages
i.of an alleged love letter in her bill.
Commander Bloedorn says he is not
involved in any entangling alliances
With any woman in any way what
lssoever.
Through Attorney Wilton ]. Lam
bert, DIR. Bloedorn says that since
attaining the rank Of commander
he always gave his wife a household
allowance of $3.50 month. She
preferred to, live with her mother
in order to use the money for her
own extravagant purposes, he says.
His Income Cut
When he was retired last fall his
own income was reduced by half
and he was compelled to reduce his
wffe's allowance to $3.50 until he
became connected with hospital
work and was able again to in
crease her allowance to $3.50. IN

on sick leave as result Of con.
stant domestic discords and was
