Iof canned milk are being relieved rapidly. Manufacturers of evapo- rated milk from all parts of the country, meeting in Chicago yester- day, report that production is on the increase, normal supplies are being released to the trade and grocers' shelves will be additionally replenished from the huge stocks of evaporated milk held by the gov- ernment.
 "Just as much evaporated milk was supplied to the grocery trade during 1942 as during 1941," said Doctor Rice, land in addition, the industry last year supplied all the evaporated milk needed by the armed forces and for Lend-Lease shipment to our allies.
 "Production of all dairy products hits a seasonal low in December. However, starting now, the milk flow increases rapidly, hitting its peak during May and June. Sufficient cans have been made available for the production of evaporated milk. Were it not for hoarding by house. wives, and also by hotels and restau- rants, there would be no serious shortage.
 Already some of the empty mar ketS are being re-stocked. The De- partment of Agriculture has on hand almost 17000,000 cases, about 300 million tall cans of evaporated milk, originally purchased for ship ment overseas. This amounts to almost four-months' supply for domestic use. This milk is stored in warehouses throughout the coun- try. Arrangements have been made whereby evaporated milk manufac- turers are buying back some of this milk and sending it into the markets where shortages have been felt.
 "The recent announcement that O.P.A. had been granted authority by Secretary Wickard to ration evaporated milk is most unfortun- ate, coming at this time" said Doc tor Rico, since it will only aggra- >et~ FNAS:ss.uR ard orolong the tenn porary shortage. The capacity o1 the industry to produce evaporated milk is ample to take care of all requirements which can be fore. seen at this time for 194S."

MARY DONNELLY
 GIVEN DIVORCE
us. Rep. CurIey's Daugh- ter Charged Boston Ad
 Man With Cruelty

,Dedham, Mass, Jan. CUP)-- Mrs. Mary Crrley Donnelly, only daughter of U. s. Rep. Jernes M Curley, D., Mass, was granted an lincontected divorce today from Ed ward O. Dornelly, Boston advertis- ing executive.
 Probate Judge James F. Rey- holds granted the decree on the grounds ofacruelty after Mrs. Don- nelly had testified for 90 minutes.
 She testified that the acts of cruelty were 50 frequent that she could not enulnerate all of them.
 According to Mrs. lDonnelly, the acts of cruelty began little more than a year after they were mar ried by William Cardinal O'Connell, Catholic archbishop of Boston, be- fore 5000 guests at Boston's cathe- dral of the Holy Cross June 8, 1885, %y aSls( '
 At the. time of the wedding, Mrs. Donnelly was first lady of Massa- chusettS, since her father, Q widow CT, then was governor. tf
 Among thousands of dollars worth of wedding gifts were carved wood book-ends from President and Mrs. Roosevelt. {i l}-
 Mrs. Donnelly, who was fashion ably dressed, testified that on one occasion her husband beat her so severely that her face was disfig- lired and she was confined to her home for six weeks. P Another time, she said, Donnelly beat her, fracturing her wrist and 8 rib. .%
 A Boston X-ray specialist cor- roborated her testimony regarding the fractures, and a maid corrobor- ated more of Mrs. Donnelly's tes- timony.
 The night her father was defeated by Mayor Maurice J. Tobin in the Boston rnayoralty election, Mrs Dornelly testified, her husband asked her to go to the Tobin home and extend congratulations. When she refused, she said, her husband threw her on cement walk in front of her fathers home, injur- ing her shoulder.
 Mrs. Donnelly testified that on another occasion her husband brought home from 8 nightclub 8 girl entertainer with whom he had been seen frequently. When she ordered the girl from the house, Mrs. Donnelly testified, her hus- band told her to get out instead.

LaGuardia's Dim Outs Traffic Light Situation Thought to Be Unneces-
 sary and Dangerous by Washington OCD Officials.
By DREW PEARSON.

remember that LaGuardia was once head of the Offlce of Civil- ian Defense, but point out that things have changed since he left. One striking change is the in1- provement in its scientific person. mel.
 This scientific opinion says that EaGuardia has brought unneces- sary hazard to New York traf1c by painting out all red and green trafac lights except for a thin cross.
 This was intended to contribute to the dim-out, but absolutely un- necessary because colored traffic lights have practically no effect on the "sky glow" Also 1t is dan- gerous because the lights are difi- cult to distinguish in the daylight.
 Lac Guardia's system was bor- rowed from the British. But Lon- don has only minimum of traf- flc moving, and has a full black out every night, all night. New York's blackouts are only for short periods and then all lights. including trafac lights, are turned of completely.
 Thus the New York "thin crosses" are useless in blackout and dangerous in dim-out. In short, Washington officials think LaGuardia is out of focus>
