Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-15
By CHARLES ROBBINS

A FTER a long period of trial
and error, Barbara Hutton, re-
Gently estranged wife of
movie actor Cary Grant, has at last
discovered a plain $64 American
comeback to a fancy $1,500,000 for
eign word.
Skeptics may feel that no word in
any language is worth all that
money They don't know this one.
It's Foraeldremyndigehe
While length alone would seem to
rate it a pretty good price, what
boosts this jawbreaker into the top
surtax bracket is really it's meaning.
Observation-Disclosures Is the COM
pound Danish way of saying that,
when parents separate. one or the
other is TO have the deciding voice
in their childs upbringing.
Whose voice that shall be. as affect
ing Lance, the 10-year-old son Of
Barbara and her second husband,
Court HaugwitZ- Reventlow, one-time
Danish Count, is a question which
short time ago began TO haunt Amer
lean courts and probably will con
tinue to do so for some time TO come.
Il had already had good deal of
.actice haunting the English bar
and the Reventlows themselves, for,
when love flew out the window of
their mammoth London home in
1888, Observation-Disclosures wasted
no time in coming in the door.
The occasion was legally COM
memorated first by separation
agreement and then by a Danish di-
vorce, which became final in 1912

her millions (Which her father had
been at some pains to teach her to
touch plenty, and that the less prin-
cipled type would not know how TO
touch them as gracefully as a man
reared in the aristocratic traditions
of the Old World
So, guided by her desire for hap
piness, she married first Georgian
''prince"-Alexis Mdivani-and after
her divorce from him, Count Haug-
witt Reventlow.
Following the resounding failure of
both ventures, she chose a British
born - though now Americanized -
movie star, Cary Grant, as her third

of her original ideal, evident in this
last marriage, seems to have gone on
apace since then.

According TO the terms of the
former, Lance was 10 spend nine
months of each year with his

six months annually with each.
At the time, il looked as

own recent admission, thought
it wise to follow his father, then

tude. For, she points out, Den

Toronto, Ont. Sept. 90 - (U.PJ The National Hockey League sought new president today after it was learned that Major Connie Smythe of the Canadian army had declined the eiB,000 year post.
 Stnythe, recovering from spinal wounds suffered in Normandy, said last night he believed he could do more for hockey by remaining Rs head of Maple Leaf Gardens, home of the Toronto club.
 It was Asumed that Mervyn (Red) putton who agreed to act aS head of the league until smythe had de- cided, although he had resigned be- cause of personal business, would continue as president until Q sue. oessor is named.
 smythe's decision probably will necesSitate another meeting of the board of governors.
 Smythe recommended the expan- sion of tho league into on eight club circuit immediately making it sound and stable for the post.war years"

 Because of his belief that the real future of the sport" lies In the United States rather than Can ada, Smythe recommended that the president be from on American City and urged the transfer of league headquarters to Boston, be- cause it is the city in the States with the strongest hockey tradi- tion."

 Although fighting gamely and giV- ing Pep one of his most aggressive encounters. Lewis failed to take a Singis round. Conway gave seven rounds to Pep and called one even. Pep won 40 points and Lewis g.
 Early in the eighth Pep hoored the New York Negro with a smasn- inS blow to the head. Lewis groped to his feet at the count of four and then fell flat on his face. He was up again at the count of three and Pep hammered him so un- mercifully that Conway stepped in and led the New Yorker to his corner.
 Impressed with Lewis showing, New York Promoter Mike Jacobs said he would consider a rematch in New York after Pep meets Chalky Wright in Madison Square Garden Sent. 29 in a title fight.
 Fer weighed l27 and Lewis l28.
