Jury Awards $4,000
Alienation DAMAGES
In Smith Case Verdict

Attorney Carl H. Dawson Smith
IS, today has the permission OF
District Court to collect $4,000
damages from Richard H. Hippel-
heuser. -
In one of the largest awards ever
made in a damage suit here, a jurv
yesterday returned the judgment
against Mr.. Hippelheuser in an un-
contested alienation of affections
suit following Mr.. Smiths divorce
from his wife Naomi, last fall.
MIR. Hippelheuser, formerly a spe-
clal assistant to Henry Wallace when
he was Secretary of Commerce, was
named correspondent in the divorce
suit and, shortly after the divorce
was granted, Mr.. Smith filed suit
for 100000 damages for the loss of
his wife's love.
After celebrating for an hour the
jury decided to award him half of
that amount.
The marital affairs of the Smiths
received attention last summer
when Mr.. Smith, in asking for 8
divorce, related how his wife of
four years suddenly announced to
him that she had found some one
else she liked and there was moth
ing he could do about it.
He related to the jury yesterday
now he once followed her to a
Georgetown home and found his
wife and Mr.. Hippelheuser lying on
the floor listening to classical
music. He said that many times
she stayed out all night despite his
pleas.
Mr.. Smith who was an Internal
Revenue Bureau auditor at the time
of the divorce, is at present prac-
ticing law here. He lives at 1922
Iwenty-eighth street NV. yester-
day his counsel, Jean Boardman
said the present addresses of the
former Mrs. Smith and Mr.. Hippel-
heuser are unknown. Neither ap-
peared in court.

$1,000 Exemption Sought
For Low-Paid Family Head
BY the Assoeioted Press

Representative Engel, Republican
OF Michigan said today he will intro
duce early in the next session of
Congress an income tax reduction
bill to give anybody supporting a
household on moderate salary a
$4,000 exemption.
MY idea is that we should not be
taking away the bread and butter
OF folks who have little incomes" he
explained in an interview. What I
have in mind are old couples on
pensions, and young men and wom-
en- just starting their homes"
Last spring Mr.. Engel sponsored
unsuccessfulIy bill to raise the $500
Individual exemptions to $1,000 for
single persons and $4,000 for mar
ried couples.
The head-of- the house feature
would apply only on incomes under
$4,000 to $4,000, depending on which
ceiling the Treasury might recon-
mend after surveying prospective
tax revenue.

Clio Packing House Head
Seeks 3O-Hour Week
BY the Assoeiosed Press

/ CLEVELAND, May 5.-The presi-
dent of the CIO- United Packing
house Workers of American called
to-day for eventual establishment of
the 30-hour week in the packing
industry on 40-hour pay rate.
/ In addressing about 400 delegates
representing 100000 packinghouse
workers in the United States and
Canada, the unions president,
Ralph Helstein, declared:
we are increasingly mindful of
the accident and health hazards in
packing, which makes the 80 hours
a reasonable work week for men
and women working in the indus
TRY"
This was also necessary, he said,
because the trend toward a lower
volume of employment results to a
great extent from increased man
hour output.
Mr.. Helstein's views on the 30
hour work week, expressed on the
opening day of four-day conven-
Ition, were part of a 13-point pro-
gram which he said was designed
to protecting packinghouse workers
and the Nation as a whole
| Other points OF the program in
cluded:
Establishment of firm support
price guarantees" on farm and live
stock to run minimum of five
years in place of the existing two
years, extended to cattle as well
as hogs; extension of relief foods
going to nations destroyed by war;
rehabilitation of the Nations rail-
