 In Kiessling Dispute
Wife Seeks Weekly Allowance of S2OO: Takes Action
 to Prevent Disposal of Husbands Assets

Elmer c. Kiessling. Middlebury, treasurer of the General Mfg. Go. ana secretary of the American FaStener Co.,, has been ordered by Judge John A. Cornell to appear in superior court May 25 at 10 a. m. 10 show cause why temporary Injunction requested by his wife, Mrs. Emma Kiessling of Middle bury, should not be issued against him.
 Mrs. Kiessling, who is bringing a soO'0OO civil action against the in- ouStrial executive, seeks an injunc- tlon restraining him from selling their home in Middlebury and also rom disposing of his shares of stock in the two concerns.
 In an amended complaint, now file in the court, Mrs. Kiessling supplies detailed statements on treatment received from her hus- band, and also submits information on his financial status.
 She states the S10 weekly paid for her support is insufficient and asks for court order for $200 weekly or S10,400 annually. Her husbands capital assets are worth S7500 and his annual income from the two corporations is S1O,800, she states.
 Alleged Treatment
 Mrs Kiessling points out that their nine-months-old son died in 1888 and states that the burden of her sorrow was increased by her husbands "unfounded accusation that she was responsible for it's death.''
 Citing treatment received by Mrs. Kiessling from her husband, the court writ states he entered into "a cruel plan of starvation of the plaintiff with the ultimate purpose Of causing her to leave him and obtain a divorce 50 that he could re-marry."

 De Valera said, "all credit to him that he successfully resisted the temptation which have no doubt many times assailed him in his dif- faculties and to which, I freely ad- init, many leaders might have easily succumbed.
 The Fire premier said Churchill instead of adding another horrid chapter to the already blood-stained record of relations between England and this country has advanced the cause of international morality"
 De Valera warned his country that the end of the European war would not mean a resumption of Fires foreign trade, or any increase in food. On the contrary, he said, Ireland would cut her own food rations to help foodless countries bind up some of the gaping wounds of suffering humanity"

agreed on the question of how much authority the commission should have over policy in the four occupation zones. However, the Russians are said to favor allowing the occupying powers a free hand in each zone. While Anglo Amer ican officials reportedly want to give the control council blanket au- thority on general policy questions,
 A more fertile field for Allied dis cord on the occupation front is Austria, where agreement on con- trol plans has been hampered by the creation of Soviet t-allOwed Austrian provisional government.

The defendant caused physical starvation by refusing and neglect ing to furnish his wife with suffi- cient support and maintenance, and rendered mental starvation "by treating her not as his wife but rather as an inferior person, ser want, obligated to perform servile work for him." the complaint states.
 Mrs. Kiessling alleges her hus- band took excursions to New York with other women and dined at ex- pensive hotels while she was left at home alone and forced to sub- sist on the most frugal meals He boasted biazenly of the trips to her, the plaintiff claims.
 Penalized
 To break her morale by financial neglect, her husband changed his insurance policies to make his niece and nephews beneficiaries, and gave her S20 weekly for all household and personal expenses, she con- tinues. At one time the allowance was $10 per week, and she was penalized by $5 cut if she did any thing to displease him, she states.
 Her own conduct has been such that her husband could not find grounds to seek divorce himself, Mrs Kiesslirg states.
 The petitioner states her husband owns, in addition to their home in Middlebury, 96-acre farm in Woodbury, where he now resides
 Enumerating his various other holdings, she states he has a herd ot blooded stock, part of which he owns jointly with a girl friend' She also points out he owns two cars, one of which he operates to New York with adequate supplies of gasoline" and that the other is used by the co-oWner of the livestock.
 At one point in the complaint the plaintiff alleges her husband has brought home scarce food. which has high ratioa-point value, and sitter showing it to her has taken it away to other members of his family.
 Mrs. Kiessling asks the court to order weekly support payments or else rule on lump sum "consonsnt W.tk her requirements and station in Hfe,' Creation of a trust fund and sale of all the defendants prop erty, except the home in Middle bury, is sought

BY CHARLES MCDONNELL

Dublin, May 17.-CUP)-Premier Ramon De Valera again raised the question of complete Irish inde- pendence in replying to Prime Min iSter Winston Churchill's harsh criticism of Irish neutrality.
 De Valera in a radio speech last night said allowances can be made for MT. Churchill's statement, how ever unworthy, in the first flush of his victory.
 The Irish leader posed the ques- ton of whether Ireland could join a war for the independence of other small nations when several Irish counties were under British domination.
 That Churchill should be irri- tated when our neutrality stood in the way of what he thought he vitally needed. I understand, De Valera said. But that he, or any thinking person in Britain or else where, should fail to see the reason for our neutrality l find it hard to COnCelVe.
 De Valera said he would like to ask the British a hypothetical ques- tion. What would happen if Ger many had conquered England in the last war and kept six countries under German control? He de- manded whether Churchill would have led a paritioned England on the side of a Germany fin great crusade on the side of freedom Of a number of small nations"
 Churchill makes it clear that in certain circumstances he would have violated our neutrality and he would have justified his actions by Britain's necessity" said De Valera.
 Surely Churchill must see that if his contention be admitted, a like justification can be framed for similar acts of aggression else where and no small nation adjoin- ing a great power could even hope

 They revealed also that sugges- tions for ''internationalizing" the rich Ruhr River Valley had been abandoned for the time being. The Ruhr will be part of the French zone.

 Troops of the 31st division, strik- ing north, brushed aside resistance at Kalasungay, mile and half north of recently captuted Malay balay, in 20 advance to capture Dalwangan.
 Spearheads of the 40th and Amer ical divisions pushed south several miles beyond Maluko toward the junction with the 31st.
 The Japanese made no serious effort to halt the closing pincers. Apparently realizing the hopeless ness of their position, the defenders were reported retiring to the hills for last stand.

|ChurchiiI's Son May Get
 Cabinet Job
(Navy photo from NEA Telephoto)
By PHIL AULT

London, May 24 - (U.PD Prime Minister Churchill sat up most of last night selecting his new cabinet but political observers believed he would not make any sensational changes.
 One appointment rumored in Whitehall circles was that Churchill, would name his son, Major Ran dolph Churchill, to succeed Major Arthur Henderson as financial sec- retary to the war office. Major Churchill returned from the Middle East last week.
 Churchill was expected to name number of young members of par liament who have not held office previously, to junior posts vacated by members of the dissenting Labo, Party. The aim would be to give new blood to the cabinet and cab met experience to the new blood
 At the same time, observers be- lieved the doughty premier would fill the top posts left open by the Labor Partys secession with tried and experienced administrators. ChurchillS most difficult task will be to replace such able administra- tors as First Lord of the Admiralty A. V. Alexander and Home Secre- tary Herbert Morrison, who directed Britain's defense against the blitz
 Minister of Information Bren- don Bracken was thought to be g likely candidate for Alexander's job Sir Andrew Duncan, minister of supply was considered a strong pos sibility for Morrisons job, in view of the fact his ministry probably would be incorporated with the ministry of production.

1rusteeship Issues Near Settlement
By R. H. SHACKFORD

San Francisco, May 24-(UP)- The big five powers edged toward an agreement on the delicate trus- teeship problem today while the little" United Nations waited for the big ones to define when and where they will use their veto in the proposed world security organ ization.
 Authoritative sources said "eXcel- lent progress" had been made on trusteeships during the last 24 hours and that agreement on virtually all issues was near. The major stum- bling block is whether independence for all dependent peoples shall be written in specifically as an ob- jective.
 The big four sponsoring powers are being catechized by the others on interpretation of the so-called Yalta voting formula for the secur- ity council. Under it the permanent members of the council would have veto over virtually every decision and action of the council Twenty two questions by the little nations on when and where that veto would be likely to be used still remain un- answered.
 The big powers answers will go far in determining to what extent the little nations will push their fight for modification of the voting formula, to which the big four are committed. It is possible that the

City Court Posts
 70 Be Decided Here
BY LEGISLATIVE REPORTER

Waterbury's Democrats will have members serving as city court judge and prosecutor after July i as re- suit of an agreement reached in Hartford this morning whereby the Republicans have agreed to relin- ouish the two posts.
 Division of the other city court posts will be made by agreement be- tween the local COP and Democrat party adherents rather than have the decision mad, at the State Cap itol. Under these terms Republican sources this morning agreed that 5O-50 basis will be affected relative to salaries involved.
 The city court posts at present, are entirely filled by Republican ap- pointees of two years ago. Today $ decision relative to the judges and prosecutors, while not unexpected seemed indicative that Judge T. E Conway incumbent Republican will be let go and Judge Charles Summa retained. Should this prove true it is likely that Prosecutor Charles Palomba will be let go and Atty. Albert Hummel retained, sources declare.
 If the 5O-50 basis is adhered to relative to salaries in dispensing the remaining city court posts the Dem ocrats will likely receive the short end of the actual divison on posi- tions.
 As reported here previously the Republicans are said to be willing to concede the following posts to the Democrats; Judge, prosecutor, clerk of court and a full time steno- grapher all of which total $14,30O. The Republicans then would retain Judge, prosecutor, small claims; probation officer; assistant to the clerk and part time stenographer all of which would total Sl5,780. The Democrats originally sought other than the two top posts-clerk of court; probation officer; assistant to the clerk; full time stenographer all of which total $19,800.
 Final division likely will be laid out in the near future between Re- publican party leaders w. J. Pape; J. Warren Upson and Vernon L. Hall and Democrats J. Francis Smith, Mayor John s. Monagan and Maurice F. Tangney.
