Bea McEvoy,
Oil Heiress,
Doffs Freddie
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK. April What
society has long expected has
come to pass-Bea McEvoy has
called 1t quits and has given
Freddie McEyoy his walking
papers!
When Bea, Standard Oil
heiress, married Freddie in 1910,
her friends considered the alli-
ance a mistake. Bea now realizes
those friends were right.
Within the last few weeks
the McEvoy marital break be-
came final. Now / hear both have
engaged lawyers and soon the
legal battle will be on.
She Finds No Joy
Poor Bea. She has tried so
desperately to find happiness in
marriage.
Her first alliance with Alex
ander Dallas Bache Pratt was
smiled upon by her parents, the
late Mr.. and Mrs. William
Evarts Benjamin. For Alec Pratt
was to the manor born, possess
sor of an established New York
social position.
But Bea was bored to distrac-
tion being Mrs. Pratt. And when
fiamboyant and debonair Preston
Gibson came along she decided
to become his wife despite the
threat of her parents to cut off
her handsome allowance.
AS Mrs. Gibson. Bea was pen
niless-but moderately happy.
There were times when this
woman, who now controls mil
lions, was so hard put for ready
cash that she pawned her sable
wrap. a diamond bracelet and
other gewgaws to tide things
over until one of Preston's
bizarre schemes brought forth
financial fruit - VIII ic h was
seldom!

Games Near Air Post Banned By U. s. Army
Millvie Avenue Land Hit by New Regulations
 bage Collectors Hard to Hire Board Told

Naugatuck, June 3-The U. S. Army has requested ban on play ing of baseball, softball or other games at the town-owned land where the air observation post is located on Millville avenue, 1t was disclosed at the meeting of the board of warden and burgesses last night.
 A. w. Westphal, district direc- tor for New Haven county, in a letter to George B. Lewis, cnlei co- server at the local post, said such game playing near the post is ob- jectionabzle because: 1t makes too much noise: there is a tendency to distract the observers from their work; there is a possibility of i'- jury to the workers from balls which might break the gls-a tower: too many people are drawn to the scene of the game.
 MT. Lewis requested the board to lease the land where the post Is to the Naugatuck post, American Le- zion for nominal sum, such as $l a year. Members of the Legion are observers at the observation post. This would be for the period that the observation post is located there. Warden Brophy commented it is too bad the field can no longer be used for games, but said we must comply with army regulations. He indicated efforts to try to find an- other field for play will be made Leasing of the land would give the Legion power to police it. Recently mo trespass" signs have been placed there and there has been weeks, the warden said.

 The matter was referred to the borough attorney, who will have power to proceed with the lease. Water Rent Lowered
 The board received request for lowering of rent from Sidney Bay lis, who operates a gasoline station on town-owned land adjacent tc the Town Hall. MT. Baylis has been paying $l25 per month and shis present contract has until 1944 tc go. He informed the board that be- cause of gasoline and tire rationine and the auto situation, he will be unable to continue in business ur1- less his rent is reduced.
 He pointed out that in April, his gasoline supply was cut to 66% ot what 1t was in the same month l941, and that further reductions have been made since then and more are anticipated. He said under the present $125 a month basis, he estimated one cent of every gallon of qasolSae bandled and distributed by him went to the rent. He re- Quested that this arrangement continue, that is the rent be based on one cent for each gallon sold.
 Warden Brophy and Burgess Will liam Ploski felt 1t was 8 matter re- quiring careful consideration. Ii was referred to a committee con- sisting of the warden, Burgess Tan gredi and Burgess O'Toole.
 Garbage Situation
 Representatives of Mrs. George Wiikas, who holds the garbage col- lection contract, informed the board that unless some other ar- engagements is made, they cannot continue to collect garbage, because
