DIVORCED WIVES
 ARE OBJECTINC

Hartford, June 8-(UP)-Two di- vorced wives of former millionaire magazine publisher Eugene V. Brew ster, New York, today opposed the sale of three movie magazine titles for $25, ,000 because they believed the price too low. The sale was asked by receviers for the Motion Picture Publications, Inc, Greenwich, as the sole assets of the concern which was thrown into equity receivership on petition of Fawcetu Publications, Inc, holding claims of $160,00O. Re- jecting the $25,00O offer were Mrs. Eleanor V. V. Brewster, Great Neck, L. l., and Mrs. Emily Brewster, New York, who had been receiving $60 and $40 a week respectively from the income of the magazines under an agreement with the publishing company. The income stopped last March when the receivership was instituted.
 Federal Judge Edwin S. Thomas delayed hearing on the petition for week upon the insistence of the women a better price could be ob- tained.

HOUSE STARTED CELEBRATIONS
Didn't Wait for Senate to Get Through; Mahaney
 Is Song Leader

Hartford, Conn.,, June 9.-(UP).- An electric pipe organ ground out popular tunes, Stench bombs were thrown and four dancing girls and an orchestra went into a rehearsed routine as merry making legislators gathered in the hall of the house today at the closing session of the General Assembly.
 Several "torpedoes" were hurled against the walls and exploded with a deafening detonation.
 Hanging from the ceiling of the chamber was huge red, white and blue sack, containing hundreds of balloons which were to be released when the festivities were at their height.
 Cautious janitors removed all files, books, cuspidors and other acces- sories to prevent repetition of a disorder of two years ago when heavy volumes were bounded on the heads of legislators and someone set off tear-gas pomp as the governor was delivering his farewell address.
 House Was damned
 The hall of the house was jammed with assenblymen. their wives, chil- dren and visitors. Paper hats ano confetti were distributed and old cronies gathered in remote corners for a few barber shop cords" and a tug at the bulglng hip.
 Model airplanes and kites swoop- ed through the air. Straw hats were tossed out windows and Representa- tive Don Fraser's ventriloquist dum- my attempted an inpromptu speech but was drowned out by the blaring notes of the organ which had been hauled into the hall early this morn ing.
 The carnival atmosphere was prevalent only in the house, where it is the custom at the end of each session for senators and representa- tives to gather for a final fling before winding up the affairs of state until two years.
