She maintained stoutly that Junes cross

wanted divorce, and that she was just acting
for him because he was minor

John will come back to me, This whole thing
is his mothers idea johns okay-he's just
young, and he's been kicked around"
AS for that charge that she left him in
Mexico City shortly after their marriage,
June said that was sheer nonsense.

He's kind Of spoiled brat but he's a

While the wheels Of justice were grinding
all this over further trouble came up to
plague the unlucky Fraser scion.
Early one dark morning, driving along
san Francisco street with a friend ne ran
over and killed a PEDESTRIAN He was ar
rested on a charge of negligent homicide and
released in $500 bail
But the police investigation showed that
the pedestrian had walked in front OF the
Fraser car, and the charge was eventually
dropped
Last July, young John became twcnty-one
But nothing happened The tangled case went
on as usual, with Mother Fraser taking Johns
part.
BY October June had apparently got tired
of waiting for things 10 straighten themselves
out; she decided 10 give the ponderous litiga-
ton little shot in the arm.
This took the form of "A supplemental cross
complaint charging that John had been un-
faithful to her in a San Francisco hotel room
with one Jean Dean, young hat.check girl
from Chicago. h.'".> V|
John and the Dean girl both filed indignant
denials

And Mother went on
to say that June had
believed that young
John would come into
a considerable sum Of
money" at the age of
twenty-one
Then followed a lot
of deposition taking
which is still going
at this writing
In a supplementary
complaint, Mother
Fraser also charged
June with misconduct
with one Derek Frank
which both the accused
promptly denied

her status as Mrs. June Fraser
John is not pressing for any
thing.
He lives neither with his wife nor lis
mother. but alone in hotel room in san

time would have taken him back gladly
The kid has had tough breaks. and

National Liberation as the pro-
visional government of France.
Under yesterdays agreement on
the military control which both
leaders had sought, Gen. Giraud re-
tains command of French troops in
North and West Africa, while Gen.
de Gaulle will command the forces
in other empire territories.
French Unity Hailed.
Commenting on the committee de-
cision, Jean Monnet, minister of
armaments and acting information
commissioner, said:
This is unity. Anything else would
be unthinkable. The troops will be
paid from common treasury. They
are already one army in fact. Their
commanders are responsible to the
French Committee Of National Lib
Grafton"
The decision was "absolutely unan-
nous in the committee" he said.
and added that "it is practical and
realistic method of bringing about
unified, single French Army, which
Is so essential"
A communique issued after the
three-hour meeting said the COM
mittee had approved the nomina-
tions OF Gen. Alphonse JUN and
Gen. Eduard Rene Marie de Larmi-
nat as chiefs Of staff Of the armies
Of Gen. Giraud and Gen. de Gaulle,
respectively. 1t said the chiefs of
stats of the navy and air force will
be designated shortly.
Monnet said the committee could
arbitrarily have ordered fusion of
the French forces under one COM
mander, but that would have
evaded the real questions"
Both Sides Pleased.
1T is obvious" he said, that the
habits Of the army of Gen. de Gaulle
are different from the habits of the
army of North Africa ."
The way of ultimate union. he
said, would be paved by the work
Of the chiefs of staff who, as men,
bers of the Permanent Committee
with Gen. Giraud and Gen. de
Gaulle, would be carrying out the
committees orders
Monnet announced the arrival of
Henri Bonnet from New York, the
only absent committee member, who
will assume his duties as informa-
ton commissioner today.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 23.-Supplying
the Nations armed forces with their
full requirements OF beef Continues
as one of the most important prob
lens of the War Meat Board, says
Vice Chairman w. o. Fraser.
Asserting that the military serv-
ices still are not obtaining their full
quota of beef, Mr.. Fraser yesterday
said light cattle marketings at the
live stock centers during the last
week had further complicated the
situation in this respect"
1T is felt that cattle marketings
will likely increase in the near
future as soon as the uncertainty
concerning the rollback in prices
is dispelled," Mr. Fraser said at the
boards third meeting in three
weeks. The board discussed plans on
how to stretch the Nations limited
meat supply between the armed
forces. the civilian population, and
lease-lend needs.
Mr.. Fraser said that the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. had given
assurance that the subsidy to offset
the rollback in retail prices would
be paid to packers slaughtering
since June and las soon as the
cattle start coming in again beef
production will increase"
The board reported that increased
pork production last week as COM

Second Woman Tells
Court Of Activities
OF Carmen Beach
Government Closes Cose;
Judge Expioins Mann Act
Application in D. G.

A second young woman closed the
Governments, testimony today in
the case against Carmen Beach, 29-
year -old native Of Spain and seam
stress, charged with violating the
Mann Act by sending an occupant OF
her apartment in the 1900 block OF
Fifteenth street NV. In taxicabs to
Washington hotels for immoral
purposes.
The witness gave her name as
Hope Alonzo. her age as 20 and her
address As an apartment on West
Twenty-third street, New York.
Statute Explained.
At the conclusion Of her testimony,
the jury was excused and Defense
Attorney Harry Whelan argued that
the Mann Act could not apply to his
client because there was no evidence
of crossing State boundary or
entering interstate commerce.
Judge Matthew F Mcclure pointed
out to him that The statute expressly
mentions the District of Columbia
and that in recent case, the Federal
District Court in Hawaii had ruled
that transportation between two
islands of that territory brought a
case within the Mann Act.
Carmen Beach entered the court
room on the arm of her husband
Chief Pharmacists Mate Charles
Earl Martin, a tall and broad
shouldered. curly-haired blond in
the uniform of naval petty officer.
While the Alonzo woman testified,
the defendant busted herself with
papers, constantly coaching her at
torney in cross Ss-eXamination.
Tells Of Apartment Visits.
Questions from Bernard Margolius
United States Attorney, elected from
the Alonzo woman that she came
from New York; that she was a
prostitute: that she visited Carmen
Beach's apartment last October, the
first time for three days and the
second time for about week.
Her testimony was largely con-
cerned with the activities of yester-
days witness, Dorothy Smitely. The
Alonzo woman said there were 10 to
80 telephone calls to the apartment
a day; that after some of the tele-
phone calls, Carmen Beach would
give Dorothy Smitely taxi money
and the number of the hotel room
she was to visit.
In cross-examination. Attorney
Whelan tried to establish that the
witness was antagonistic to the
Beach woman.

Army Recruiting Issue
Portends New Fight
OF French Factions
Duel for Power Between
Giruud and De GuuI!e
Due to Be Resumed
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, June 23.-One of the
hottest issues in French North
Africa-army recruiting - came
to the fore today as the French
forces of liberation remained di-
vided in allegiance between two
commanders in chief, Gems.
Charles de Gaulle and Henri
Giraud.
1t was apparent that the duel for
power between the two leaders and
their factions would be quickly re-
sumed following compromise set
tlement yesterday continuing the
status quo in military control.
Giraudists indicated they were in
sisting that recruiting be on a terri
torial basis, thereby excluding the
Fighting French from drawing man
power from North Africa.
De Gaullists declared that not only
were they threatened with a freeze
out" in North Africa, where they as
serted many civilians wanted to join
the Fighting French. but also that
those escaping from France also
were being channeled into the North
African army.
Giraud May Have Final Say.
To observers 1t seemed plain that
Gen. Giraud would have the final
say on army recruitment in North
Africa just as he remains completely
in the saddle over other French
military affairs in this base OF Allied
operations where he enjoys the sup
port of the United States and
Britain.
Until now American equipment has
been delivered to Gen. Giraud and
it seemed likely his forces would
continued to get first call on these
arms.

ence yesterday.
Although the newly appointed
viceroy said the door still remained
open for further political discussions
Of India's status in the postwar
he made 1t clear that realization of
her aim for full government
must be postponed until after the
war.
You will naturally not expect me
