 Then turning straight to the issue which Is dividing leaders of this convention, Father Coughlin charged democrats among Townsendites were thinking more of their jobs than of Townsend principles.
 Given an Ovation
 Father Coughlin was given an ovation when he appeared on the convention floor to make surprise address. He was accompanied by the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, share. the-wealth" leader.
 Father Coughlin, Townsend and the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith raised @ second demonstration when they posed on the convention platform Coughlin stood in the middle with his arms over the shoulders of Smith and Townsend.
 Excited conversation swept the hall as delegates rose to the occa. sion of Coughlin's dramatic appear ance. The priest was the center of things on the platform, overshadow- ing even the huge bodied Smith who was in the spotlight most of yester- day.
 Townsend FlOpped
 Townsend's decision to support Lemke represented a shift of his political position. Three days ago he said he would support Governor Ali M. Landon "as the lesser of two evils" meaning that was his choice as between the democratic and re- publican candidates.
 Public Hall, Cleveland. July ie.-- (UP) ).-The Rev. Charles E. Cough lin. radio foe of the new deal, was presented as . surprise Townsend plan orator today as democrats among o. A. R. P. leaders threat ened to rally in defense of the Roosevelt administration if platform attacks continue.
 The priest is the foremost sup porter of Rep. William Lemkes union party presidential candidacy, which most Townsend leaders are determined this convention shall not endorse. Father Coughlin was put on the program after long coiasid- ering an invitation to speak here. His appearance may revive the at- tempt to endorse Lenke.
 Chairman To Protest
 Temporary Convention Chairman Martin F. Smith of Washington told the United Press that democratic Townsendites would defend the dern- ocratic party here if attacks are repeated.

HO-HUM! THAT RUGGLES
 PAIR---PARTING AGAIN!
Airline, Wesley Part For 'Steenth Time;
 Stun GOssipers

moved out and went to 2 Hollywood hotel.
 She didn't have much to say. '"The thing simply doesn't work out, was all. He said nothing.
 Now, maybe they will change their minds again, although the odds are the other way. The gossips won't bet, thought because they've been fooled too many times by young Airline.
 If there is a divorce, however, there probably will be no court battle over custody of tow-headed, 3-year-old Wesley, Jr., their only child. Close friends of the couple say they have reached an agree ment by which the boy will divide his time between his parents.
 It's understood also that Airline will receive their home and a cash settlement of the divorce is matched.
 Arlipe and Wesley, brother of Comedian Charley Ruggles, were married in October, 1881. Oddly enough, their first meeting and apparently final parting occurred while he was directing her before the cameras.
 They met during filming of Are These Our Children" and sep- arated while making Valiant Is the Word for Carrie"

SWING BAND IN
 BRISTOL SUNDAY
Benny Goodman Secured for Special Engagement
 at COmpOunce

No other orchestra in the history of swing" music has risen to the fore with such alacrity as Benny Goodman's which makes its debut Sunday evening, Sunday September 20th, at the Spanish Gardens ball. room at Lake Compounce in Bris- tol through arrangements with the Music Corporation of America.
 For, in the course of less than a year and a half, this ace clarinetist, who began his career as child pro- dizzy at the age of 12 in his native city of Chicago with an imitation of Ted Lewis, has become firmly established in the professional or- chestra field, and is considered one of the best dispensers of rhythm by those who prefer little swing" in their music.
 While there he entered his or- chestra in the additions for the Let's Dance" programs and was re- warded with a six months contract. An RCA-Victor program over NBC followed and Goodman was on his way to fame in the orchestral world.
 Lately Goodman has been fea- tured on a nationwide hook up on The Camel Caravan Hour. Don't miss this great attraction at Lake Compounce Sunday evening. Man. ager Julian Norton will have the doors opened at ' o'clock to accom- modate one of the greatest crowds in years.

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent Hollywood, Sept. 18.-Filmland'S $ Strangest "off again, on again" marital rift apparently became per- manent the other day when Actress Airline Judge announced that mar ried life with Director Wesley Rug gles simply doesn't work out".
 It was an announcement similar to several made by her in the past year, but this time she maintains, she really means what she says. Whether she really means what she says remains to be seen. She has cried wolf" so often that the gossip nnongers are slowly going daffy trying to figure her out.
 Some of 'em nearly passed out few months ago when the vi- vacious Airline said for the sixth time-or was it the seventh-that she and gray-haired Wesley had separated, but would live in the same house "for the present.. This strange arrangement was something new, even in Hollywood where the natives learn to expect anything and everything. It lasted for several weeks. although the towns crack snoopers were unable to discover the rules and regula- tions by which 24-year old Airline and her .48-year old husband con- ducted the "Separatoin''.
 It was noticed, however, that her brother started taking her to the night spots.
 ROMANCE ON AGAIN
 Then, 8 few weeks later, .tele- phones around town began to jingle. Airline was at the other end of the line, inviting all her friends to come over for a big reconciliation party. She invited press photographers, too.
 Everyone had a swell time, and the cameramen snapped Airline and Wesley in a varied assortment of affectionate poses.
 Another Hollywood matrimonial bark had been saved, it seemed. Romance Off Again
 The good ship sailed along smoothly for a few more weeks and then another storm tossed it around. They're quarreling again, was the rumor passed about town.
 Airline couldn't quite make up her mind. One day she said, we're very happy" The next day she admitted there might be" a separ- ation. Gossipers bit their finger nails and took headache tablets. Adding to the general confusion, Arlene at the time was starring in a picture which Ruggles was di- recting. But if they were glaring at each other . at home, they masked such emotions while at work.
 For Keeps"
 Before the picture was finished, however, Arlene announced again that they had parted = this time for keeps, she said. She remained s.. Al.~S.s T1nv,nllx, IYiIIc v,aox1e{o,1 EYa
