Self-Styled British
Air Ace, SllingWife's
Parents, Is Missing
Martha Pell's Husband
Never Had Been Officer,
His Attorney Says.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 5.-The New
York Times says today that Andrew L.
Fleming, self-styled British war ace,
who has a 100000 alienation suit on
file against his wife's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Abiiah Seaman Pell of Fifth ave-
nue, is missing.
His attorney, Jacob Gerstein, has
withdrawn from the case because, he
said, he has learned his client never
was a commissioned officer in the Brit
ish army and that other claims made
in his behalf have not been substan-
tiated.
Fleming, who married the former
Martha Pell secretly in 1927, had de-
scribed himself as "a British ace who
had brought down Sc enemy planes dur
ing the World War and received the
Victoria Cross" In applying for men,
bership in the Army and Navy Club
of America he is said to have described
himself a a former British lieutenant
colonel
At the offices of the British consul
general, it was said Fleming was at one
time private in the Canadian army
and after the war was seaman on a
merchant vessel. They said his record
had been investigated here and by
Scotland Yard officials in London.

MEMBER OF CHICAGO CULT, FASTS THIRTY ONE GAYS; EATS AND THEN DIES IN ACONl

LYONS, Colorado, Aug 29.-On cot under his tent, the lifeless withered form of a Chicago art model, member of a cult which came to the virgin wilderness and peaceful valley to seek youth truth and health" was found yes- terday, victim of starvation in- stead of youth and health.
 Chris Solburg, aged 40 years, was found dead
 Solburg had completed fast of 31 days. He began eating solid food The fast had reduced him from 160 pounds to 85 pounds. After consuming several sand wiches, friends said he was in agony and soon died.
 The Chicago cult received con- siderable publicity when ranchers reported members running around without clothes and taking sun- baths. The authorities demanded that they at least wear a sun suit
 With Solburg's death, only few members of the cult remain and all except one has quit fasting.

WEDDING CALLED OFF AFTER
 VISIT TO MARRIAGE sCLINIC'

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Recently North Shore society was buZzing about the mystery of a prominent young couple failing to go through with their marriage even after the date had been set, the caterer and florist engaged for elaborate re- treatments and decorations att tending the ceremony. Today the puzzle was solved when the Rev. E.. Ashley Gerhard, rector of Christ Episcopal church at Winnetka, sad he had put them through matri- monial clinic and they discovered they were unsuited for each other.
 They were pust a conventional pair rushing into a union to which they had given little thought" ex- plained Dr. Gerhard. Finer young people you could not find Yet, when we met in clinic and ex- plained to them something of the responsibilities involved in mar riage and the qualities of character necessary to carry it through to they agreed they were not ready for marriage and canceled the arrangements. Their action was entirely to their credit"
 For several years Dr. Gerhard has been conducting his matrimonial clinics and believes them to be the best preventive of divorce.
 "The plan by which I work pro- vides for a conference between the prospective bride and groom and the rector at least a day ahead of the ceremony. We have frank and open discussion as to the meaning of marriage, it's import ance and the part man and wife must play in union. In several cases the young people have agreed they were taking the step too hastily, or inadvisedly and post poned or dropped their plans en- tirely. I am confident in all these instances the union would have gone on the rocks and ended in the divorce courts.'

NEW YORK, Aug. c9.-Recent aggressive action by the Insull group of utilities in the middle west has revived reports of impending hostilities with the Morgan group in the east.
 Eastern power executives say however, that the prospect of seri- ous competition between the domi- nant personalities in the utility in- dustry east of the Rocky Noun tains is remote.
 This is an era of cooperation, said one, mot of fighting for spe- cial group advantages with all the waste. that such policy involves.
 The number of persons who car claim to have kept abreast of the swift changes in the utility out look is small. Brokers estimate that most of the spectators, biz and little, who have made the re- cent booming market for utility shares, have never made serious study of the various merger pro- grams.
 Few have considered what stu pendous developments hinge or whether J. P. Morgan and Samuel Insull elect to compete or cooper ate.
 Outside of the chief executive and statisticians of management and holding companies the finan- cial qualifications of power, light traction, water and gas enterprises on any one day are largely a mat ter of conjecture.
 Maps exist which show the week to week kaleidoscopic changes in ownership and management of vari- ous units in all parts of the coun- try, but these are seldom avail able to the public. A glance at one will show ground for the assumption that the Nor gan group may clash with the In sull group Tn certain sections neither can expand much farther without treading on the others toes.

BUDAPEST NO LONGER
 IS RENO FOR EUROPE

the divorce court now must call the parties together and endeavor to bring about reconciliation. If that is not possible, they are given 30 days to consider whether they will resume welded life.
 Then they are called together again and, in case only one party appears, divorce is not granted at all. Should both appear at the hearing and still remain refractory against reconciliation, the judge names another and longer period during which they must reconsider their situation, and only after that term has expired without for giving spirit having been displayed in both partners does the tribunal finally grant a decree,

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. D. Hitherto Budapest has been the Reno of Europe, where ill-assorted couples could obtain divorces lit crally while they waited.
 Hundreds of them flocked hither especially from the Catholic coun- tries, among them an exceptionally large proportion from Italy.
 The judges did not place any diff faculties in their way, showing they were content with the simple plea of incompatibility of temper. The lines waiting for the judicial an nulment became so long that a parliamentary deputy called the attention of the minister of justice to what he called scandal.
 Under new orders the judges oi
