 He said he stepped out of Sepon- sky's Grocery at 9 Branch Street soon before P. M. and as he settled into the seat of his panel truck the Negro dipped into the seat beside him, gun in hand.

 Following orders of the gun man. the driver took the truck up Branch Street, into Walnut Street ExteF- sion, as far as Rhode Island Avenue.

Fireworks onFrancoIssue Anticipated
NAssembIy To Bring Up Site Debote
Plenory Session
 At Flushing, N.Y., Scheduled Today

United Nations Hall, Flush ing, N. r., Nov. 9-UP)- The United Nations General Assembly meets in plenary session today to discuss the search for a permanent home and take another step toward a showdown on Franco Spain.
 The diplomats left their committee rooms for the first plenary session in eight days. The action on Spain was expected to be a minor move toward major fight. Fireworks were anticipated in dis cussion of the permanent home question.
 The steering committee recom- mended that today's agenda in- clude an American proposal that the search for permanent head quarters be extended to San Fran cisco and parts of Greater New York in addition to committee ap- proved Westchester County.
 Talk On Issue Ended
 Russian Foreign Minister Kuzma Kiselev planned to demand that Geneva, Switzerland, also be considered, although his proposal has not yet been apprvoed by the Steering Committee.
 The last technical obstacle to Assembly action against Generalis- simo Francisco Franco from power was to be erased by Secretary General Trygve Lies report that the Security Council had moved the matter of its agenda. This permits the Assembly to do something be- sides talk about Franco if two- thirds of the 5l United Nations want to.
 Another argument-filled matter on the Assembly agenda remained in committee at Lake Success. There the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee resumed Its controversy over the proposed In- ternational Refugee Organization a matter which has aroused deep disagreement between Russia and the western powers.
 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, American member of the committee, laid bare some of the refugee issues yeSter- day when she accused Russia of re- fuSing to cooperate and declared sternly that the United States never would agree to repatriate any of Europe's 100000 refugees against their will.
 Chides Russia for Label
 In a strong answer to a strong speech delivered two days earlier by Soviet Foreign Minister An- drei ViShinsky, the widow of the late President said it was possible for the United Nations to agree on a workable refugee program. But she said Vishinsky must concede the right of other delegates to dis agree with some of the Soviet points of view.
 She chided Russia for calling refugees Fascists because they re- fused to return to their now Soviet-dominated homelands.
 "As Mir. Vishinsky uses it, it would seem that democracy is sym onymous with Soviet, or at least a fairly similar, conception of politi- cal and economic questions, she said.

BILE alimony every month.
Those who have been successful
in extorting large alimonies natur-
ally pity the less successful, who
must struggle along on a few hun
dred a month. That they are all
leeches, fungus growths on the So
cial order, never enters their crisp
ly curled heads.
Now Ready to Marry.
"Denise will marry Len, now"
said one such woman to me thought
fully, in discussing a friend whose
magnificent alimony had had them
all jealous for a dozen years.
"Oh, she's finally decided that she
loves him?"
"Well, no, she likes it better this
way, just having him take her to
dinner and buy her flowers. But
you see, Paul is quite sick. He's
had stroke, and they don't think
he'll live very long"
Paul was the man paying the
thousand-dollar alimony.
When a woman makes a man
thoroughly miserable he wants free
dom, and in his eagerness to get
it he rarely splits hairs when max
ing the financial arrangement. She
may have been cold wife, she
may have f1irted with his friends,
wasted his money, neglected his
comfort and dignity in every posi-
BILE way.
But with the weapon of her
sex, and the claim of her child,
she can wreck all the rest of his
life if he dares to want to get free.
In another 10 years he may be
ideally married, he may have two
or three children to support, but
that memorable check must 60 ev-
cry 80 days to pretty carefree Jean,
who is fitting about from one pleas
IRE resort to another, driving a
smart car, playing cards, dancing,
taking on such lovers as she
sancies.
It seems to me men aren't very
smart about alimony.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS

THERE was a smartly-
dressed, beautifully
L groomed young woman on
the train with me a few weeks
ago; we played gin-rummy to-
gether. At Reno she was to
leave the train.
For the usual reason, I sup
pose?" I said.
"For a DIVORCE" she an
swered, with a sudden tighten
ing of her lips. And resentfully
she added, 81 gave him two of
the best years of my life, and
now he'll pay me $500 a month
for the rest of his!"
It made me consider afresh what
often have thought of alimony;
that alimony is essentially unfair,
and that men, who make and
change laws so easily, are rather
stupid that they don't regularize
this one. The childless woman I
quote above was about %. It is pos
sible that Che" whoever he is, will
be paying her $4,000 year for
more than 40 years. A quarter of a
million dollars for the "a months
she spent in disillusioning him and
breaking his heart.
Such woman, if I judged her
rightly, will not re-marry while this
golden river is rolling in. She will
have her love affairs and her free
dom; she will feel herself infinitely
superior to the quiet girl who sticks
to her bargain, keeps her man hap
py and secure, and raises children.
And the tragedy of it is that some
times she will succeed in making
the quiet home woman wonder
if perhaps the girl who was going
to Reno wasn't the smarter, after
all.
For Three Years Only.
Ali1nony ought to be adjusted |
first with the safety of the children
in view. If there are no children, it
should be arranged on vanishing |
scale. Five hundred month for one
year, then 300 for perhaps three
years. Then stop. It should not be
left to smart lawyers to arrange,
there should be special court of
dometic adjustment, in which all
the factors are considered. If
marriage has existed for anything
over 20 years, or if the wife is old
and delicate, then certainly there
should be no question of the mans
duty in supporting her with
check, or making prop
erty settlement that will insure her
independence.
But that these frivolous, shallow
girls are able to draw large in
comes from the men they perhaps
hurt and failed in the
first place, is an element that
makes for divorce. If she felt that
her fat income would only last for
a few years, a woman would look
about her for some way of making
herself useful; she would prepare
for the time when she must be self
again.
AS it is, there is certain apart !

Where there are children, the

|CoIumbians File Demurrer
To Suit 10 Revoke Charter
By The Atsce;oIed Press

ATLANTA, Nov. 29.-Columbians,
Inc, today filed demurrer in Su-
perior Court which denied that Gov.
Ellis Arnall had any grounds for
ordering the State of Georgia to
bring suit for revocation of the
organizations charter.
The demurrer listed Attorney Gen
|eral Dan Dukes allegations that
the organization was subyersiye,
sought to suppress political and legal
rights of Negro and Jewish citizens,
attempted to beat Georgia citizens
and had engaged in terrorism, and
then denied all of these charges.
The Columbians asserted that no
names of citizens alleged to have
been beaten and terrorized were
given. The demurrer also said the
suit failed to show ''how or in what
way" any official or agents OF the
Columbians had violated any law.
AS to an allegation that Columbian
activities are contrary to the law
and policy of this State" the de-
murrer said that this could not be
sustained because the suit does not
even set out what the public policy
of the State is"
The Columbians said that they
could not answer charge that their
organization was patterned after the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan be-
cause they did not know what lines,
| if any, the knights of the Klu Klux
KIan are patterned after .
