Divorce Is Granted
Seaman Who EIuded
Japs for 81 Months
BY the Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Aug. IT.
Chief Radioman George Ray Tweed,
A, who was rescued from Guam
after 81 months of eluding the
japanese. has been granted an in
terlocutory degree of divorce from
his wife, Mary Frances Tweed, n
records in Superior Judge Jacob
Weinbergers court revealed yester-
day.
The surprising development was
disclosed as Mr.. Tweed prepared
to return to active duty after a
30-day furlough, two weeks Of which
were spent in San Diego. He has
been recently visiting his mother
and other relatives in the vicinity of
Portland, Greg.
Mr. Tweed filed the divorce COM
plant July rs, nine days after ar
irving here for a reunion with his
family Mrs. Tweed and her chill
dren-Ronal Cross, 9, a son by a
first marriage, and Robert, 3-were
evacuated from Guam in October,
1941. She filed a waiver of contest
to the complaint.
Decree Granted August 8.
Mr.. Tweed's testimony was taken
July %, shortly before he left for
Oregon, and on August Judge
Weinberger granted the interlocu-
tory divorce decree, awarding Mrs
Tweed custody of their child and
$50 a month. Mr.. Tweed was given
the home which he purchased here
10 years ago for his first wife, who
died in San Diego.
Testimony showed the Tweeds
were married in Yuma, Ariz., in De-
cember, 1898. Mr.. Tweed told the
court that although the date of sep
aration was July Is, 1914, they had
agreed to separate in 194l, while
they were on Guam. He alleged that
she insulted the wives of other serv-
icemen on Guam, virtually leading
to his social ostracism.
Works in Fish Cannery.
On the day before the divorce
decree was granted, Mrs. Tweed
went TO work as a packer IN local
fish cannery.
Mr.. Tweed's leave has been
heightened to permit him to extend
his visits to relatives and friends
in that area until tomorrow morn
ing, the Navy disclosed. He will fly
to Seattle tomorrow, reporting at
the Sand Point naval station there
for orders. These will be to report
to Washington, the Navy said.
Mrs. Tweed said she was 'keenly
hurt" by her husbands testimony
that she had insulted officers wives
in Guam. Apparently the insults
were not serious, because I'm re-
ceiving letters from them regularly"
she asserted.
