Not to Wed Certain Girl.
~ United Press
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.--Henry D.
Pownall, wealthy Cincinnati in
ventor of ice machinery, pondered
over his will for many months be-
fore he inserted a stipulation that
his son, Henry B. Pownall, 81, was
to receive $4,000, if he still was
unwed, at IS.
The elder Pownall died Aug. 10,
unaware that his son, California
Institute of Technology student, had
been married in San Bernadino in
April.
Pownan made specific objections
in the will to Miss Doris Calhoun
of Canton, O., declaring he did not
wish her as a daughter-in-law. Miss
Calhoun today is Mrs. Henry B.
Pownall.
AS a result the young student.
instead of receiving $4,000 in a
lump sum, will have only an income
from the estate.

teen Years to Attend
Hoover Reception Tonight
BY ANNE PATTEN

Breaking a rule of many
years, Representative Garner
j.. N. Garner of Texas, and

tend a formal function at the

ner have accepted the invita-
ton o. the President and Mrs.
Hoover to the dinner to be
given in honor of the Speaker
Of the House and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth. Speaker Longworth
and Mr.. Garner, despite con-
troversies over politics and
governmental cars. are close
friends and the latter broke his
iron-clad rule to do honor to his
friend and fellow Congressman
Kept in Background
It has been IS years or''more
since Mr.. Garner accepted even
q White House command"
Mrs. Garner, who acts as her
husbands secretary, has strict
orders to politely regret" all
such invitations. She, herself,
seldom goes out in the evening
but did attend in the first year

group of congressional wives.
Has Keen Wit
Mr.. Garner's aversion to So

an unrivaled reputation as
raconteur.

tions given annually by the
