The saga Of the five and ten
cent store heiress goes onto more
chapters yet to be lived.
VIII she, at last, fulfill her
ambitions and spend her time in
travelling and exploring?
viii she be content to live alone
in a foreign land, with only her
son for company? What will be
the revelations when q divorce
suit is brought and tried? And
will Barbara Hutton, who is Ger
-tainly too young to stay single the
rest Of her life, when and if she
marries again, find another titled
foreigner, or will she at last marry
an American?
Il continues to be one Of the
greatest stories Of Americana
part Of our amazing national his
tory, but I don't think we should
forget that in Barbara's mind, at
least, she gave UP America because
1t first gave her UP.

Protection, for Son

But once let her have the faint
est idea that anyone was inter
eSted only in her money, that con
troll Of that money and OF her son
would be taken from her, not for
love; not for devotion. but for
anything that had to do with
money alone, and it would hit at
the deepest wound In her nature
From childhood on that has
been her one fear and her greatest
unhappiness-that no man would
marry her except for he. money.
The suit she brought against
Kurt Hsugwitz-R Reventlow in Lon

seen, in o frantic effort to protect
her child. And in a further effort
to do that she has now made that
child O ward Of the London courts

Successor Next
Tuesday

Roger Peacock may desert the
amateur ranks to apply for the
post as golf professional at Ken
wood, it was learned today. The
board of governors of the Ken
wood Club will meet Tuesday night
when a successor to Wilfred
Witty" Cox. who took a position
at Congressional yesterday, will
be discussed.
1t is believed the Kenwood d.
rectors may wait several weeks
before making a selection as a
sheaf of applications are on file.
Peacock was second choice of the
Congressional committee which
named Cox, leaving the broad i'm
plication that the amateur star
is open to a proposition in the
paid ranks.
The possibility of Roger filling
the vacancy at Kenwood is made
all the more likely in view of that
Benny Loving, Cox's assistant at
Kenwood. will follow him to Con-

also join his boss at Congressional.
Before joining Cox, Loving will

$148 PER DAY

NEW YORK, April Is G.N.SO.
Beginning Monday it is going to
cost Joe Di Maggie $1,041.66 a
week to continue his game of hide
and seek with Col. Jake Rupert.
Up to date there has been no
expense attached to Joe's sit.down
strike except to the New York
club. The Yankees might have
drawn more customers through
the gates on the Grapefruit League
circuit and Southern one-day
stands if DiMaggio had trouped
with them.
From Monday on the pressure is
strictly on Jolting Joe. His sal
airy loss will be $148.80 a day and
that's expensive loafing even in
San Francisco. Colonel Rupert
today reiterated his stand.
The clubs offer still is $25, 900
for the season, which lasts "a
