EATON UPHELD
IN DIVORCE

TRENTON, May l. Brushing
aside as irrelevant the court of
chancery decision that the alleged
atheistic and Communistic beliefs
Of Mrs. Mabel Eaton of New York,
made her unfit to rear her two
minor children, the court of errors
and appeals nevertheless affirmed
the decree of divorce granted to
Warren P. Eaton of Bloomfield,
N. j., and the award to him of
the children'S custody.
The court said:
I'VE have carefully examined
the proofs in this case, and are
satisfied that the acts of cruelty
physically perpetrated by the
wife upon her husband fully sup
port the result reached below.
1--WE are also satisfied that the
proofs, apart from the many ir-
relevant beliefs of the wife, sup
port the conclusion that the well
fare of the children is best served
by the award of their custody to
the father"
The opinion, which was unani-
nous, did not detail the beliefs"
attributed to Mrs. Eaton.

aroused controversy as to its
morality. However, patrons and
supporters of the theater group
defended the presentation.
Several Praise Comedy
Mrs. Isabelle harrington, both
a patron and member of the ad-
visory council of the group, praised
the comedy highly. She said:
"If the women today followed
the same course as those in the
play, all wars would end"
Lee D. Butler, president Of the
board of governors of the group,
was enthusiastic over the per-

Another supporter is Mrs. Harry

of War. She stated:
"The play is very good. 1t is
amusing"
IMMORTALITY DENIED
Most of those questioned as to
their reactions asked not to be
quoted. One woman said:
II have seen the play three or
four times, but 1 don't want to
say anything about it"
Another Woman-a District Of

meeting and decided to delay the
actual strike call until later today.

when members of the other unions
are to assemble for work today.

berS of the screen Actors
Guild failed to reach. an agree
ment on whether to join the walk
out.
The actors have stated, however,
that they will not attempt to pass
picket lines.
Pat Casey, labor representative
for the producers, said it would
not be known until later today just
what effect on the industry the
present strike would have.
Labor leaders, however, stated
that all production would be halted.
Strike Call Dramatic
The strike was called dra-
matically by Charles Lesser. head
of the federation, after he con-
ferred for less than a minute with
Casey. He said:
"The producers haven't agreed
to recognition. SO the strike Is
on"
It was later revealed that the
stumbling block in the negotia-
tions was the fact Lesser refused
to discuss wage-or-hour demands
until after studio heads had agreed
to recognition.
other members of the fedora
ton, which have not yet decided
on the strike call, include sta
tionary engineers, plumbers, cos
tuners, molderS, sheet-metal work

Appeal of Elizabeth Saginaro from recOvatiOn of herr liquor permit was referred today by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson in the superior court to Referee Frederick c. Peasley.
 The petition was for a referee to decide her suit against the liquor control commission for return of her license.

 Friends, no mans leaders, fel- low Republicans lend me your ears. I come to bury the G. O. F., not to razz it. The evil parties do not live after them. The good is oft inferred with their boners. So let it be with the G. O. P. The noble twins (your coinage) hath told you G. O. P. was ambitious. Ambitious by fair means or foul. By hook or crook, by obvious mis- representation or all the political chicanery of which partisanship betimes is guilty, to turn this, our fair city into the yawning arms of group of self-styled leaders. If it were so it were a grievous error, and grieviously hath G. O. P. answered it. It hath brought many honors home to Waterbury, when lead by stalwarts of another generation, deigned not to deal with the flag bearers of a rival camp who come so armed, so strong, in dishonesty that cen the gale created by their tidal waves of self esteem hath already en- gulfed their most ardent follow CTS in the mire of uncertainty.
