Charming Spenders
Influence SEC
BY the Associated Press

Cyrus Eaton, Cleevland banker
and industrialist, contended today
that Charming fellows with big
expense accounts" from New York

influence on the Securities and

Mr.. Eaton also told a Senate
Banking Subcommittee that i'm
portant people in the SEC were
stockholders" in the Kaiser Frazer
Automobile Co. at the time Otis
& Co., Cleveland investment
firm, first agreed to handle
Kaiser Frazer stock offering in
1948 and then withdrew from the
contract.
When Mr.. Eaton, a principal

asked by Senator Maybank.
Democrat, of South Carolina, to
name the important people," the
witness replied:
THE secretary of the commits
sion-du Bois-he is a stockholder
of record"
Orval du Bois is secretary of the
SEC.
Pressed by Senator Maybank to
name others, Mr. Eaton said:
The rumor is that there are
many Others"
But he supplied on other names.
Earlier, the United States Cham
ber of Commerce asked the COM
mittee to delay action meanwhile
on "piecemeal legislation" affect
ing securities.
1t referred specifically to a bill
by Senator Frear, Democrat, of
Delaware to protect investors by
making public more information
about certain securities.
In letter to a Senate Banking
subcommittee, the Chamber said
1t has no quarrel with the aims
OF the Frear bill, adding:
There is serious doubt, how
ever, as to whether sufficient bene-
fits would accrue to the investing
public under the proposed legis-
lation to Justify the new burdens

RosseItini JubiIaht
Al Miss Bergman S
Mexican Divorce
BY the Associeiei Press

ROME. Feb. 10.-Jubilant Ro-
berto Rossellini said today that
he and Film Actress Ingrid Berg
man would marry lust as quickly
as her divorce papers arrive from
Mexico" =, ).
The Swedish actress, who bore
a son Roberto" here eight days
ago, was granted a divorce in
Juarez. Mexico, late yesterday
from DR.. Peter Lindstrom of
Hollywood.
Rossellini said Miss Bergman
was "overjoyed" at the news of
her divorce in Juarez.
oh" he added, smiling wryl~,
"if only this had happened 10
months ago."
Lindstrom Ignores Proceedings.
DR.. Lindstrom ignored the Mex
ican court proceedings and re-
mained in Hollywood.
Gino Sotis, Rossellini's attorney,
said yesterday that cabled noti-
fication of Miss Bergman's divorce
would not be sufficient to permit
her to marry the Italian film di-
rector here. The lawyer said a
copy of the decree would have to
be received in Rome before the
ceremony could take place.
The divorce was granted on
grounds of mental cruelty, nom
support and incompatibility.
The Bergman-R -Rossellini romance
bloomed on the volcanic island of
Stromboli, site and name of a
motion picture in which he di-
rected' her last year. The birth of
her son has raised storm of pro-
test over the showing of "Strom-
boil" in the United States.
The balding, 43-year-old Ros-
sellini today disclosed an extern
sion had been obtained of the 10
day period for civil registration
of the birth of Miss Bergman's
baby.
Small Civil Ceremony.
I'VE will have a few extra days
for the registration" he told a re-
porter who talked with him as he
left the hospital bedside of the
actress and her son this morning
to motor to the location for his
latest picture now being filmed
near Rome.
Rossellini said a small private
civil marriage ceremony would be
arranged. probably in Rome.
He said he and Miss Bergman
planned a Roman Catholic church
ceermony later. He refused, how
ever, to comment on current re-
ports that the Swedish actress, a
Lutheran, would become a Cath
olic.
He likewise did not comment on
any plans he may have for OBJ
tanning church annulment of his
previous marriage. A Turin court
already has approved court an
AAo4AA1Sao S1 U14C ltldi ldSc OUbdlIlCQ
in Vienna.
Vatican sources have reported
that the Italian director Is seek
ing a church dissolution of his
marriage to Marcella de Marchis.
This must come from the Sacred
Rota, the church's high tribunal
Rossellini today said Miss Berg
man and her baby "are in the best
of health"
In Hollywood, DR.. Lindstrom
maintained the mo comment" at
titude he has kept throughout the
love affair. But a spokesman
friend, John Vernon, said DR..
Lindstrom would not appeal the
Mexican divorce; that he would
ignore it. DR.. Lindstrom plans to
file suit for divorce in California,
as soon as details of a property
settlement and custody of the
couples 11-year-old daughter Pia
can be worked out.
