SYNOPSIS

Cathy Layne, Army nurse,
was disappointed when Bill Ken
dali, with whom she had been in
love since childhood, failed to
meet her when she arrived home
on leave after long service in
the Pacific. Aunt Maggie, with
whom Cathy lived, disclosed
that Edith Kendall, Bills
wealthy, arrogant aunt, had
sent him on short business
trip, and had undoubtedly failed
to give him the telegram Cathy
had sent announcing the time
of her arrival. Bills mother had
been disinherited when she
married against her fathers
wishes and, following her death,
Edith, who had inherited the en-
tire Kendall fortune. had adopt
ed Bill. Jealous and possessive,
she resented anyone who might
take him from her. Maggie's de-
ductions were correct, for when
Bill arrived late that evening,
Cathy learns he did not get her
wire. Underneath the happiness
Of their reunion, Cathy sensed
Bills hesitancy over making
any immediate plans for their
future which might incur the
displeasure of his aunt. The fol-
lowing day Mrs. Kendall tele-
phoned to ask Cathy to tea. Sus-
pecting the reason for the in
vitation, Cathv was not too sur
prised when Mrs. Kendall cold
ly announced she considered
her most unsuitable for Bill and
would Immediately disinherit
him if they married.

Kings Invite Mrs. Dye,
LoserinCustodyFight,
To Live With Them

Mrs. Edith Bessie Dye, who has
been living in Savannah, Ga, may
return to the home of her mother
and stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde
L. King, who late yesterday were
awarded legal custody of Mrs. Dyes
6-year-old son, Edward LIE Roy Dye
Mrs. Dye, a former WAC, brought
a habeas corpus action in District
Court seeking to force her mother
and stepfather to give up the boy
Justice F. Dickinson Let's of Dis
trict Court, however, ruled the boy
should remain with the Kings, who
live in the 300 block of Seaton place
NE.
Mrs. Dye Weeps.
Mrs. Dye left the courtroom weep
ing after the decision. Her mother
and stepfather rushed to her to
comfort her, and Mrs. King en-
braced her daughter.
Mrs. Dyes attorney, James c.
Toomey, last night said both Mr.. and
Mrs. King had invited the younger
woman to live in their home with
them and the young boy. Mrs. Dye
had not announced whether she
would accept the invitation.
Justice Let's said it was mot
pleasant thing" for the court to have
to award the custody of child to
any one except the natural parent.
Justice Let's expressed the view,
however, that the child is better off
with the Kings.
Let's Talks With Boy.
Before making his ruling, the
jurisf talked to the boy in his cham
bers and said in court the child had
expressed a desire to remain with
Mr. and Mrs. King.
Mrs. Dye said she left the boy
with her mother and stepfather
while working in Baltimore and later
while serving in the WAC. Last
year. after her release from the
service, her mother and stepfather
refused to give up the boy, and she
brought the habeas corpus action.
Mrs. Dye had been awarded tenn
porary custody of the boy in 1941
in connection with maintenance
suit brought against her husband,
George w. Dye. This suit still is
pending.
Mr.. and Mrs. King were repre-
sented in the habeas corpus pro-
ceeding by Attorneys John M. Con-
roy and Francis w. Taylor.

Dismissal Motion Weighed
In Transit Fare Raise Suit

Justice F.. Dickinson Let's of Dis
trict Court today had under advise
ment a motion to dismiss an injunc-
ton suit brought last May by the
Washington Industrial Union Coun-
Gil (CIO), and its president, Henry
Beitscher, contesting the legality OF
a Public Utilities Commission order
increasing Capital Transit Co. fares
Justice Let's last May denied a
preliminary injunction in the case.
He held the PUG had refused in
proper manner to reconsider the
rate-reduction order.
Dismissal of the case yesterday
was sought by the PUG and Capital
Transit Co. Opposing the motions
was Attorney Herman Tocker, rep
resenting the council, and Mr..
Beitscher.
Meanwhile, still pending, is an
other suit, brought in August by Mr..
Beitscher and the council, asking
the court to review the PUG order.
A contention in that suit is that the
rate of return allowed in the in
creased fare order is too high.
The rate increase, which went into
effect, on May II, stepped up the
fares from 813 cents a token to a
straight 10-cent charge and raised
the price of the weekly pass from
SIPS to $150.

could fire its heavy guns, possibly
