STANLEY LUBESKY
 GRANTED DIVORCE
Mother Given Right to Have Child in Custody
 Once a Month

Divorce on grounds of a statutory offense was granted Stanley Lubes- ky by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson in the superior court from Sarah George Lubesky, who was the plain tiff in the action. Thus, Judge Dickenson agreed with the recom- mendation of State Referee Fred erick M. Peasley, filed with the court two weeks ago.
 Judge Dickenson differed with the state referee on the matter of custody of the minor child. The referee had recommended that the father have custody. Judge Dick enson agrees in this, but stipulates that the mother shall have the right to see the child and that she shall have the child in her custody one day each month.
 Mrs. Lubesky brought the divorce action some time ago on the grounds of cruelty. The husband entered a cross-complaint in which he charged his wife with a statuto- " offense, naming Joseph Lango, of Pearl Lake road, as the man in the case.
 This witness in the first divorce proceedings later was brought into city court on charge deriving from alleged threats against Mrs. Lubes- ky's brother and was placed on pro- bation with warning to. keep the peace.

Novitsky, the conferences were satisfactory. In this instance Dr. Condon pointed out to the parent. that his daughter would walk from her home on North Main street, two blocks up Cooke street and another block down Buckingham street, to reach Driggs school, indi- eating that there would be no traffic hazard since the district was entirely residential. Dr. Condon said the air was much more clearer than it is near the center of the city, and the walk would exercise the youngster, who it is said, is in poor health.
 Many parents are well satisfied with this movement. They would perhaps be dissatisfied if their chil- dren were transferred to Maloney school, since the condition would not be improved there.
 The transfers affect children on the north side of East Main street in the Croft-Clark district who will be sent to Driggs, Welton street, Walsh and Bishop street schools, while residents to the south of the building, will be changed to the Maloney and Merriman buildings. Four rooms containing seventh and eighth grades will be sent to the Crosby building.
 Teachers Affected
 Transfers effective in the teach- ing staff of Croft-Clark school Mon- day will be, Miss Loretta Henebry, principal, to Crosby, Miss Martha Corr, Miss Elizabeth Walsh, Miss Margaret Egan and Miss Irene Kemp, to Crosby. Elizabeth Paw ley to Webster, Kathleen Donahue to Duggan, Julia McGill to Driggs, Harriet Killoughy to Webster, Katherine Ward to Welton street, Nellie A. Browne to Webster, Nellie Calvin to Maloney and Ruth Keenan to Bishop street school.

PRESIDENT TO
 AID UTILITIES
To Chop Billions Off Rate Base-MeetS Demand
 of Big Business
By RUSSELL TURNER

Oy 4GO00GAA A SASANASAS United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Washington, Nov. 24-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt projected a cam paign today to squeeze from $1,25o,- 100000 to $1,5oO,OOo,Ooo from the rate base valuations of public utili- ties in an effort to lower power rates.
 He solicited the cooperation of the utilities. If the campaign is suc- cessful, MT. Roosevelt indicated, it would mean that the New Deals power "yard-stick" program, includ- ing hydro-electric projects such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, would not be expanded materially from its present status.
 This was regarded as the admin istratiofl's meeting of demands from business for a relaxation of govern mental regulation and competition with utilities. Whether 1t would gain the approval of utilities inter- ests was problematical. MT. Roose- welt claimed that he had the sup port of Wendell Wilkie, president of the Commonwealth and Southern corporation, whose companies to- gether with other utilities are now engaged in a bitter court battle against IVA.
 Cases Are Pending
 Switch of administration empha- sis from power yard-sticks to rate base valuation comes as the yard stick program undergoes its most se- were judicial test. Four separate cases are pending in federal courts, challenging validity of IVA, the utilities holding company act, pub lie works power loans and the 39 year old reproduction cost rule laid down by the courts for rate-base valuations.
 The president declared that defi- mite headway already had been made toward solving the problems of gov- ernment and private power competi- ton, and that he had discussed the fundamentals of rate valuations with Wilkie.
 According to Actual Worth Wilkie, MT. Roosevelt said, greed that if utility company paid $1,- 250,000 for 8 property worth only $250, ,000, 1t should charge rates &C., cording to the actual worth of the plant.
 Furthermore, MT. Roosevelt said, Wilkie agreed that utilities should abide by findings of the federal trade commissions 1885 report which charged that write-ups of be- tween $1,250 100000 and $1,500,000,- GOO existed in utilities valuations.
 The president emphasized that Wilkie spoke individually and not as a spokesman for the industry.
 MT. Roosevelt said that Wilkie concurred with his belief that up to $l,500, 100000 could be spent dur ing the next year for expansion o1 private utility facilities.
 Wilkie Is Hopeful
 Wilkie said the solution of the power problem, in his mind, was "so important to the pickup of eco- homie recovery and business gener- ally and utilities in particular that I came here in the best of spirit in the hope of working it out"
 MT. Roosevelt conferred with Will kie only 8 few hours after he had transmitted to congressional com- mittees 8 report of the New York power commission charging private utilities with "gross exaggeration" in propaganda war against gov ernment hydro-electric projects.

Shift Will Become A Reality Despite
 Indignant Parents
Many Pupils Refuse to Sign Petitions Circulated Throughout District This Morning, Supporting
 Movement of Education Board, Superintendent

Transfers involving students and teachers at Croft-C Clark grammar school which become effective Mon- day, will take place as planned, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas J. Condon stated today. The shift will take place over op- position of several indignant par- ents, inspired as a result of 8 petit ton circulated about the school district by Stanley Novitsky of 14O North Main street.
 DisapprOves of Distance
 The protest was drawn up by MT. Novitsky after he learned his daugh- ter was one of the students who would be transferred from the Croft Clark building on South Elm street to Driggs school, 8 distance he claims too unreasonable for the child to walk. MT. Novitsky's resi- dence is about 30 feet from the line of the Driggs school district.
 Other petitions were circulated about the Croft Clark district yes- terday and this morning. Instigators sought the signatures of most of the 265 grammar school pupils, many of whom refused to give their support to the movement, believing the board of education and Superin- tendent Condon had maneuvered the transfer with efficiency. A petit ton appeared on Center street yes- terday circulated by Mrs. J. Fabian. Mrs. Virginia Beatty of South Main street also. sought signatures, as did Mrs. Dorothy Deslandes of Scovill street
 It is understood the petitions will be presented before a meeting of the Board of Education next Mon- day afternoon, but since the trans fers will have already taken place at this time, it is believed no fur ther action will eb taken.
 A delegation representing the pe- titioners sought today to gain an interview with Mayor Frank Hayes, but were unsuccessful. This morn ing the mayor attended the funeral of former City Engineer Robert Cairns, and was believed to be out of the city this afternoon.
 Interviews Granted
 Superintendent Condon has al- ready granted several interviews to parents who sought information in regards to the transfers and in each case, excepting that of MT.
