A Few Personal Notes
Gold has written few random
notes about himself which will be Of
interest to the readers of What a
World" We quote him here:
"Reputed to be lazy, careless, ETC.,
but that is usual myth about writer's.
Was a wrestler and boxer as youth
and once won medal for the shot
put, but now fears he is fattening,
and therefore exercises hard every
morning to keep weight down
Gave up smoking year ago, which
shows his tremendous will-power
"A very unusual person unfortun-
ately fond of beer and poetry "
There are hundreds of other per-
sonal characteristics which have en-
deared Mike Gold to those who know
him. But We'll let the readers of the
Daily" discover these things for
themselves, as they unfold in his
daily column.

ment to consider its pledge better in
trinsically than the now broken
pledge of the United States govern
ment. Certain considerations, how
ever, indicate to me strong proba-
bility that Soviet gold bonds, unlike
American Liberty Bonds, will be re-
deemed in gold equivalent accord
ing to the pledge.
In the first place, the total out
standing amount of Soviet gold
bonds is ridiculously small, being
only few million dollars. There is,
therefore, no burden of gold debt
accumulated during and since the
war by Soviet Russia to be compared
with that weighing on the capitalist
nations. We, for instance, have
about $40 billion of public debt,
about one half of which is that Of
the federal government and the
other half that of the states, coun-
ties and cities. :.
In the third place, and most i'm
portant of all, it seems clear that
Soviet borrowings of all sorts are
made for an expansion of the pro-
ductive plant of a nation in which
the market for finished goods is
guaranteed to an almost limitless ex-
tent by the fiat of socialist state

Phoenix, Ariz, June S.-UP)-
Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of
the president, today confirmed that
her son, Elliott, and his wife,
Elizabeth Bonner Roosevelt, would
seek a divorce soon. "Yes that is
true" she said when she arrived
here by airplane from the coast.
Mrs Roosevelt, returning to Wash
pgton after visiting Elliott in Los
Angeles, went Immediately to the
office of the American Always
company and declined to say more.
Don't ask her any more ques-
tions," travelling companion said
to reporters. "She's, upset by the
thing"
Mrs Roosevelt's plane was to
stop next at Tucson where Mrs Isa-
belle Greenway, friend. will leave
the party. 1t was understood the
charge in the divorce action would
be mental cruelty. The suit will
be filed in Nevada. Young Roose-
welt, it was said, will go to Nevada
and establish residence, after which
his wife will bring suit. The city
in which the action will be brought
will be kept secret, friends said.
Elliot's wife now is visiting her
father, William H. Bonner, of
Philadelphia, prominent in the
steel business. Rumors of a posi-
BILE divorce action were heard three
months ago, but young Roosevelt
consistently denied them. He said
his wife merely was vacationing in
the east and that later in the sum-
mer she was to spend some time
with his father and mother.
