 Attorney Cassidy interrupted. T don't understand that the govern ment comes first" he said. "The wife and her support come first, and then the government"
 Well" Judge Cornell commented, "the government does really come first, but the wife comes ahead Of the farm"
 Atty. UpSon in questioning the power of the court to issue an or der for temporary support, suggested that the main issues in the civil action be heard next week and that the mtoion before the court today be put off. He also pointed to possible recourse by Mrs. Kiessling to criminal action for support.
 Atty Cassidy stated Mrs. Kiessling received $1O weekly from her hus- band, which she had to use for her own expenses. for her husbands breakfasts and for food for his prized dog. Recently the sum was raised to $15 weekly, he staetd.
 Judge Cornell stated that he had to rule that remedy by criminal process would not be adequate ln the case. He suggested that the lawyers confer and agree on an amount of payment to be made by Mrs. Kiessling until the main issues in her civil action are reached.
 According to the stipulation, the parties will have the right to ask the court for modification of the amount of weekly payments. The payments will start as of last May l. but the sums already paid since that time by the defendant will be credited.
 Mrs. Kiessling will have to vacate the Middlebury house by Sept. SC that it could be made available for sale, it was agreed.

 NEA Staff Writer

Brooklyn, N. Y. - Taking long chances as a Hollywood stunt girl was excellent training for her job as safety supervisor of war plant, says pert lone Reed, who has cut accidents at the LeWyt Corpora tion here to almost nothing.
 "It takes split timing to dodge in and out of heavy traffic, race a car across the path Of a train and fall head-first down a steel flight of steps," Miss Reid ex- plained, "and this same sense of timing, which I have learned through acrobatic dancing, has helped me no end in my safety work at the plant"
 She might still have been beat ing Old Man Trouble to the draw before Hollywood cameras, If 1t hadn't been for case of makeup poisoning.

 When the doctor told me back in 1941 I couldn't use makeup for a year, my sister bet me there wasn't anything else I could do to earn a living she smiled tri- umphantly.
 "T'he next week when heard that a radio plant was harlng people for 35 cents an hour. l ap- piled and was given job as not timer" She not only won her bet, but several months later headed the department. Then she moved over to LeWyt, which is turning out radar and electronic equipment.
 At first the ex-actress worked III the shop. Her stunt stint had made her so conscious of hazards, no matter how small, that she was continually sugg esting improve mentS.
 She devised a transparent plaS- tic guard that covered dangerous parts of machines but permitted the worker to watch the opera ton: cradle to hold big cans which prevented spillage and saved back strain: and had bright color coats painted over danger areas of equipment. The boss decided that SIle was lIlOIc NdludDlC dSo O cebASoJ supervisor than mechanic.
 But counselling men with up to 30 years of skilled experience is d ticklish job for a woman. '1 knew I had to sell myself before I could sell safety program" Miss Reid reasoned.

 Every suggested improvement meant fewer accidents and fewer accidents increased production Lewyt won the Army-Navy E.
