Moving with the same swiftnes
that has marked its attack on do.
nestle problems, the administra-
ton has begun a spirited effort tt
insure effective action rather thar
mere idle talk at the world econo
mic conference.
Invitations to come to Washing

dent Roosevelt on economic prob
lens have been issued to nine pow.
ers. They are: Great Britain
France. Italy, Germany, Japan
China, Argentina, Brazil and Chile
These countries were told by ths
State Department that the Presi-
dent would be glad to receive theil
premiers or officials they might de-
signate. If it were inconvenient tt
send a mission, they were invitee
to discuss plans for nhe World

channels.

New Worthwhile Grooming
Rudy Vallee was busily wooing
his wife in an attempted reconcil-
%iation, the lovely Fay Webb Vallee
was just as busy wooing Garfield
Garry Leon, handsome Adakie
dancer, Mrs. Kathleen Leon charg-
ed when she dropped a 100000
love theft suit in Mrs. Vallee's lap
"Wow," Says Rudy
The surprise suit was revealed
when Mrs. Vallee, on her way
home to Santa Monica, Cal, with
her father, Chief of Police Clar-
ence E. Webb of that city, wa:
served with a summons in the &C
ton at Harmon, N. Y.
Fay and her dad, who came here
at Vallee's request in an attempt
to assist at reconciliation conferen-
ce, were very upset when handed
the summons at Harmon, after
taking the trouble to avoid public
notice by going there instead OF
boarding the train at Grand Cen
trail.
But after a conference at the
station, Chief Webb decided to
take his girl home, summons or nc
summons, and they continued their
journey to California.
"Wow!" was Rudy's first arti-
culation when notified that Mrs.
Leon says she wants 100000 from
Mrs. Vallee for the stolen love of
acrobatic Garry Leon.
Ubsets Rudy and His Lawyer
I'VE know nothing of this
suit" hastily said Hyman Bushel,
lawyer for Vallee, who happened
to be at Essex House comforting
with the singer. 1--WE had hoped
the matter would o be made
public"
Vallee, definitely estranged from
his wife, let his statement stand as
wow Neither 1.-THE singer or
chestra leader nor his lawyer would
comment on the report that the
friendship of Fay and Garry, now
a member of the team of Taylor
and Leon, playing at Loew's Thea
tres, caused the final smash of the
Vallee's marriage.
Now that Fay has been served:
attorneys for Mrs. Leon will file
the $4,000 love theft action in
Supreme Court.
Fay and Rudy were married or
July s, 1881, in West Orange, N
]. Only a few weeks later Fay
went to California alone. RUDY

the result of too much liquor, thu
attractive young wife told Judg'
Harry R. Dow here in Probate
Court as she petitioned for a divor-
ce on the grounds OF habitual in
toxication and cruelty.
Mrs. Williams testimony, how
ever, was rivaled by that of anoth-
er Mrs. Williams, who asked the
same, court for a divorce from Roll
Inns B. Williams of Beverly on the
identical allegations of habitual in
toxication and cruel and abusive
treatment. She is Mrs. Pauline P
Williams of Salem. She, too, wa:
tossed down a stairway by hel
husband and subjected to frequent
assaults, she charged.
The first Mrs.. Williams, daugh-
ter of well-to-do parents, became
a bride at a brilliant wedding in
Kings Chapel in Boston on Nov.
%, 1926, and went to New York
City to reside with her writer
husband. She described for the
court the drinking habits of Will
liams and in a graphic manner told
of the domestic imbrogolio in
which both she and he fell into un-
consciousness. This occurred late
in 1928, she said.
'He was getting drunk quite
consistently, almost every night
maintained Mrs. Williams. Zone
evening he came home intoxicated
and started to quarrel with me. He
locked me in the apartment and
hid the key. Then he came at
me, and l was thrown down a stair

1 was bleeding, bruised and cut.
He picked up a carving knife and
stood over me.
"But then the knife fell out of
his hand, and he dropped off into
a stupor. I managed to find the key
and to escape. I got into a taxi
cab and went to the home of some
friends, but I was unconscious in
the cab when it arrived"
Judge Dow took both petitions
under Amusement, neither Mr.. Will
liams appearing to contest the case.

Agriculture, for better or worse
is out of the hands Of the politi-
clans, says Rodney butcher, Wash
ington correspondent.
The farmers are the intended
benehciaries of the most far
reaching program of economic re-
Mobilization that any government
perhaps excepting Soviet Russi:
has ever devised.
The man who will supervise thi:
gigantic attempt to put agrlcul.
Iture on its feet is President Roose.
velt's secretary of agriculture
Henry Agard Wallace, of Iowa.
Wallace never held office before
He is an economist, an agriculture
scientist, a dirt farmer and {
business man who has been in con
slant contact with farmers and
their organizations through hi
editorship of one of the most dis
tinguished and successful weeklie'
of the middle west. He holds the
respect of farmers, economists
scientists-and politicians.
Right behind him, helping tc
carry the enormous burden of pow
er which it is hoped can be used
to save 100000 farmers and
their families from ruin, are Prof.
Rexford Tugwell and DR.. Morde-
cia, economists who have specialize
ed in agriculture. Tugwell, who
was an economic adviser to Roose-
welt in the campaign, is assistant
secretary. Ezekiel, who has been
assistant chief economist with the
farm board, is economic adviser tc
Wallace.
They are the big Three" be-
hind the new farm program. They
framed it with the advice of Pre-
sident Roosevelt, of farm organi-
zation leaders and others and are
now trying to figure out how best
to make it work.
Wallace thinks in terms of farm
prices, overproduction, taxes, acre
age, planting, charts, yield, mort
cages and the various other aspects
of the farm problem.
To a stranger he seems saturated
and rather preoccupied with it.
Handsome, medium-sized, younger
than his A years, wearing a rather
unruly shock of hair hardly be-
ginning to gray, and with deter
mined, thoughtful eyes among
other semi-rugged features, he
seems friendly but slightly hest
tant and even Indifferent at times.
But, that appears due to his caution
in making statements. One can't
imagine the man ever going off
half-cocked.
One of his friends is quoted as
reporting:
I'VE took an adding machine
last night and went out to Henry's
house and had a hell of a time!"
Henry himself would never use
such language. In Wallace's Farm
(which his grandfather, Henry,
and his father, Henry c., edited
before him, and which his 17-year-
old son, Henry B., probably will
edit some time in the future-you
find regularly two, pages entitled
sabbath School Lesson" by Henry
A. Wallace himself. The journals
slogan is GOOD Farming, Clear

Reports indicate that the en-

usually successful. 1t is believed
that this success will be due to
the fact that the appeal is made
not only for funds but for per-

spirit of unity in the churches as
we'll as in the denomination at
large has never been finer; and
that the people on the whole
have more which they can and

cate that the Baptist people are
