By the Assoei(l,sd Press

RENO, New, Oct. 28.-Doris Duke,
heEess to a tobacco fortune which
has made her one of the world S
wealthiest women, got q quick di-
vorce yesterday from her second
husband, Porf1rio Rubirosa, Domin-
ican Republic diplomat.
District Judge William Mcknight
gave her the decree on grounds of
extreme mental cruelty, shortly
after filing of the suit.
The 35-year-old Miss Duke, who
won restoration of her maiden
name. returned here October "a, it
was disclosed. She has maintained
a home here since she became a
resident in 1914 to divorce her first
husband, James H. r. Cromwell,
whom she married in 1885.
She and Mr.. Rubirosa, 40, were
married at Paris September /, 1947.
No property rights were involved in
the action.
Little things kept building up and
1t was just one of those things that
didn't work out" she told inter-
viewers at her home after the hear
ing. She and Mr.. Rubirosa, she
added, are still quite friendly"
Asked whether she would marry
again in view of the failure of her
1.-TWO marriages, she answered: "I
hope I do not have another failure. 4"
THAT is an unfair question and
an unfair answer" interjected a
guest of Miss Dukes who refused to
identify himself and who directed
the interview.
"Are you still the richest girl in
the world?" Miss Duke was asked
mo, no. Don't you think that's
corny? That's something you boys
have made up," she demonstrated.
She doesn't know her own
status" spoke up the unidentified
guest.

MOSCOW, Oct. 28.-The tert
of question and -anstDer inter-
pie1O by Prada correspondent
Uith Prime Minister Stain:
@. How do you regard the results
of the discussions in the Security
Council on the question of the stu
alton in Berlin and the conduct of
the Anglo-American and French
representatives in this matter?
A. I regard them as display of
the aggressiveness of the policy of
Anglo American and French ruling
circles.
@. Is it true that in August this
year agreement had already been
reached among, the four powers on
the question of Berlin?
A. Yes, that is true. Agreement is
known to have been reached in
Moscow on August 30, last, among
the representatives of the U. S.
S. R., U. S. A.. Great Britain and
France regarding the simultaneous
implementation of measures for the
lifting of transport restrictions (the
blockade) on the one hand and for
the introduction of the German
mark of the Soviet zone in Berlin
as the sole currency on the other
hand. That agreement does not
hurt any ones prestige. It takes
into account the interests of the
parties concerned and insures the
possibility of further cooperation.
But the governments of the U. S. A..
and Great Britain disavowed their
representatives in Moccow and de-
clared the agreement to be null and
void, lie. they violated the agree
ment, having decided to refer the
question to the Security Council,
where the Anglo-Anericans have a
guaranteed majority.
Agreement in Unofficial Talks.
@. Is it true that, in Paris dur
ing the recent discussions on the
question in the Security Council,
agreement on the situation in Ber-
lin had again been reached in un-
ofncial talks even before the ques-
tions was voted upon in the Security
Council?
A. Yes. that is true. Mr.. Bra
muglia, the representative of the
Argentine and president Of the Sc
curity Council who conducted un-
official talks with Comrade Vishin-
sky on behalf of the other interested
powers, did indeed have in his hands
an agreed draft decision on the
question of the situation in Berlin.
But the representatives of the U. S.
A. and Great Britain once again de-
clared that agreement to be null
and void.
@. What is the matter then?
Could you explain?
A. The thing is that those who in

Texfron Probers Told
Charity Chest Grew 10
S750,00o From 500
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Oct. 28.-A Senate sub
committee investigating the Tex
tron Corp. was told today of q
charitable trust which grew In four
years from 500 to $750,0O0.
This came out in branch phase
OF the inquiry which started after
Textron announced It's intention
last month of abandoning two mills
in Nashua. N. H.. employing $500
workers.
Bayard Ewing, sole trustee Of the
rayon foundation trust, told COM
mittee chairman Tobey that Textron
President Royal Little suggested the
trust but that he himself donated
the 500.
The committee concentrated its
questioning on charitable trusts
with which Mr.. Little or the cor
poration has had business associa-
tions
Pays OF Note.
In addition to its current book
value of $750,00O, Mr. Ewing said,
the trust has also paid off a note
for $4,000 covering purchase of
securities from a similar trust es-
tablished about IS days before
mine" by Rubert C. Thompson. jr.,
president of the Providence (R. -
National Bank.
Committee Counsel Charles w.
Tobey, jr., asked Mr.. Ewing If his
trust has paid any Federal income
taxes.
Mr.. Ewing replied: MY recol-
lection is that there have been no
taxes paid"
He said he made free use of op-
portunities to consult Mr.. Little" I"
but that he himself decided on
trust investments.
Senator Tobey interrupted to say
some college ought to give you a
degree as a trustee extra
ordinary"
Operates 10 Mills.
Textron, which expanded from an
$8,000,0 900 textile corporation to a
$125 100000 empire, operates FIVE
mills in the North and a similar
number in the South.
The probe began after it an
nounced its intention Of closing two
Nashua IN. H. mills.
Testimony was introduced that
the trust has contributed total Of
$85,000 to. the Providence Com
munity Chest in the past three
years.
The corporation informed the in
vestigators yesterday that it plans
to sell the two Nashua mills to a
non-prof1t foundation Of "respon-
sible citizens"
1t said it would lease one of the
mills from the new citizens group
for 10 years thus assuring steady,
long-term employment for 1000
persons"

, spire an aggressive policy in the
United States and great Britain dc
not consider themselves to be in
terested in agreement and in CO.
operation with the U. S. S. r. What
they want is not agreement and CO.
operation but talk about agreement
and cooperation, so as to put the
blame on the U. S. S. r. BY pre-
venting agreement and thus tc
prove" that cooperation with the
U. S. S. r. is impossible. What the
war instigators striving to unleash
new war fear most of all is the
reaching of agreements and coop.
Grafton with the U. S. S. r. because
a policy Of concord with the U. s.
S. r. undermines the position Of the
instigators of war and deprives the
aggressive policy of these gentle
men of any purpose.
Representative Disavowed.
1t is for this reason that they
disrupt agreements that have al
ready been reached, disavow their
representatives who have drawn up
such agreements together with the
U. S. S. R. and, in violation of the
United Nations charter, refer the
question to the Security Council
where they have a guaranteed ma
jority and where they can prove
whatever they like. All this is done
to show that cooperation with the
U. S. s. r. is impossible, to show
the necessity for a new war and
thus to prepare the ground for the
unleashing of war. The policy OF
the present leaders of the U. S. A.
and Great Britain is a policy OF
aggression, a policy of unleashing q
new war.
@. And how should one regard
the conduct of the representatives
OF the six state-members of the
Security Council-of China, Canada
Belgium, Argentina, Colombia and
Syria?
A. Those gentlemen are obviously
lending their support to a policy
OF aggression, to policy of unleash
ing new war.
@. What can all this end in?
A. 1t can only end in an ignom-
inious failure on the part of the
instigators of new war. (Winston)
Churchill, the main instigator of
new war, has already managed
to deprive himself Of the trust of
his own nation and of democratic
forces throughout the world. The
same fate lies in store for all other
instigators Of war. The horrors of
the recent war are still too fresh
in the memories of peoples and the
public forces favoring peace are too
strong. For Churchills pupils in

Aubrey S. Eban of Israel told the
Council the Egyptian forces were
invaders. He said the British
Chinese draft resolution proposed
to restore its fortune" and added
THE second Egyptian invasion of
Palestine would carry the banner
of the United Nations"
When Egyptian forces first entered
Palestine. Mr.. Eban said, the dele
gate from Britain spent most of
his time" devising excuses why
sanctions should not be used against
Egypt.
Mr.. Eban told the Council Israeli
forces were being asked Ito break
themselves up into fragments" and
to surrender control of communica-
tions routes between Israel and the
Negeb. Israel then, he said, would
have to ask Egypt's permission to
use supply routes to the Jewish
settlements in the desert.
Direct Negotiations.
Mr.. Eban said he agreed with
DR.. Bunche that direct negotiations
between the Arabs and the Jews
should begin Immediately. Arabs,
however, have always refused to
deal directly with Jewish authori-
ties. The Arabs say that would be
tacit admission Of the existence OF
a Jewish state.
Fuad Amour of Lebanon gave his
support to the British Chinese
resolution. He said Egypt was
prepared to abandon the position
it had taken during the Negeb out
break.
But, he warned, what has been
done by force, can be undone by
force"
Syria's Faris Ell Khouri told the
Council that "Jaffa, Acre and East
and West Galilee were occupied by
the Jewish forces under the truce
and in violation of the truce on sew
eral occasions"
Yakob Malik Of Russia said the
Negeb situation now is calm and
that the Council has attained its
first goal-returning peace to that
area. He asked that more time be
given to consideration of the Brit
ish- Chinese resolution.
Dmitri Manuilsky of the Soviet
Ukraine also proposed postponing
the vote for two days. The vote on
his proposal was 4 In favor,
against and three abstentions. Mr..

October, ruled there would be no

Foreign Aid Officials
Expected TO Request
,20O,00O,OOO More

A request to Congress for an
extra $1,200,000,O00 to carry on
the European Recovery Program
through next April, May and
June was being considered by
foreign aid officials today.
This was disclosed as two moves
were made to shape the European
recovery program along lines
deemed by this country to be most
effective. These moves were:
/. An agreement by the United
States. France and Great Britain to
suspend the removal of about 300
industrial plants from Germany as
war reparaitons pending study to
see in what way the plants, If eft
in Germany, could contribute to the
recovery program.
2. The United States halted
grants under the four-year Marshall
Plan program for nine European
countries which have not signed
agreements for repayable loans as
part of the European recovery ef-
fort.
The Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration is expected to forward
to President Truman within two
weeks its request for an additional
81, 100000 for the last three
months of the first phase of the
recovery program. The $5,055, ,000,-
900 appropriation by Congress for
the first IS months of the Marshall
Plan program will be exhausted by
the end of March, recovery officials
have indicated.
An indication that Congress will
be favorable toward the request,
while being critical of the effect the
recovery program is having on prices
in this country, has been given in
a news letter poll taken by the
Marshall Plan letter, private week
ly report for businessmen. The
poll showed that "a per cent of the
members of Congress who answered
the inquiry were favorable" toward
the program. However, the replies
