When Prince DuIlies
BY the Asseeioted Press


PARIS, Sept. 27.-Rita Hay
worth and Prince Ally Khan said
today their divorce is off indefi-
|nitely.
The glamorous screen actress
disclosed this as she and Ally posed
for photographers at Aly's man
sion. where she has been living
since her arrival Wednesday.
She said she did not intend to
press through the preliminary di-
vorce papers she has filed at Reno
New.
Later. after they had lunch to-
gether in a suburban restaurant,
Prince Ally said. "As far as I am
concerned, we have no intention
of breaking up.
"She has her job that takes her
to various places. and I have mine.
A wife doesn't interfere with her
husbands business and he does
not interfere with hers"
Rita, apparently angry at Ally
for making her wait while he
stopped to talk with reporters,
sailed out of the restaurant into
Aly's convertible and drove off
alone.
Ally started to walk down the
boulevard toward his mansion,
but he gladly accepted a ride from
American newsmen. He explained
why Rita angrily swept out of the
small restaurant.
"She's very upset. She has been
pestered constantly since her ar
rival here"
Rita, who left France 18 months

Arlington Rent Curbs
Will Be Restored
AS Writ Plea Fails
Judge Let's Dismisses
Suit Filed by 10 Large
Housing Operators

The stage was set today to i'm
pose rent controls in nearby Ar
lington again Monday.
In District Court, Judge F.
Dickinson Let's dismissed a suit
by 10 large Arlington housing op-
orators who sought to prevent its
restoration.
The operators had asked a pre-
liminary injunction against James
M. Henderson. Federal director of
rent stabilization, to block him
from putting rent control in ef-
feet.
Mr.. Henderson had announced
yesterday that a request of the
Arlington County Board for re-
establishment of such controls was
granted. The order, however, COW
ers only a two-day period because
the rent control act provides for
the end Of controls on September
80 unless particular areas are de-
Iclared in the critical housing
category.
In effect, it would mean the
new controls would die on Tues
day unless the Office of Rent Sta
bilization declares Arlington a
critical housing area and extends
controls for another nine months.
Arlington was removed from the
controlled rent category by action
of the Virginia General Assembly
in 1850. Mr.. Henderson said q
law passed by Congress this year
permits his Office to extend con-
trolls in communities where rent
control Is in effect on Septembe,
80 for q Seven-month period
Arlington officials asked for ex-
tension at the same time they re-
quested reimposition of controls
Mr.. Henderson's order yesterday
limits rent to August /, 1852
levels. He said this does not rule
out individual adjustments. A
rent advisory board for the county
will be established to control rents
and provide eviction protection.
In dismissing the operators suit
today, Judge Let's said the action
was brought prematurely and in
the wrong court.

Truman Off Tonight
On S,5OO-Mi|e Trip
Covering "A States
; Farm and Water Power
Issues Are Expected
To Be Chief Topics
BY Joseph A. Fox

President Truman is ready to
start swinging again.
The President leaves tonight at
1880 o'clock on a 15-day, $500
mile campaign trip as his con-
tribution toward keeping the
country safe-he hopes-for the
Democrats.
Crossing "a States. and making
back-platform appearances in just
about half that number, the
President. it seems likely. will hit
hardest on the topic of agriculture
and water power. as just about
two-thirds of his time will be
spent west of the Mississippi,
where these issues loom i'm
lportantly.
But foreign affairs, labor. civil
rights. health and all the rest of
it will come in for extensive treat
ment. in the grand circle" tour,
whose outward points will be San
Francisco and New York.
Pittsburgh First Stop.
The first stop of the trip will
be in Pittsburgh at breakfast
time tomorrow, but in keeping
with a strict custom there will be
no politicking.
The President also has seen to
it. as usual. that those on his
train will get an opportunity to
60 to church. The special will lay
over in Wooster, Ohio, from 1905
a m. to 1885, and arrangements
already have been made for Prot
estants and Catholics to attend
services.
The trip is the second of any
length that Mr.. Truman has taken
during the present campaign, as
he went into Milwaukee on Labor
Day. and did some whistle stop
business in Ohio and West Vir-
ginia en- route.
The reason that his actual cam
paigning will be limited to just
about half of the territory he
reaches is due to the fact that
several states will be crossed on
Sunday. and in other cases. he
will be passing through at night

Nominee Gets q Bit

BY a stoff Correspondent Of The stor

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. q.
Gov. Stevenson moves on to
Kentucky today for a major for
eign policy speech, after running
into a combination Of good and
bad news in Indiana yesterday.
The good news he found in this
city of 100000. which turned out
Evening star., 1952-09-27

as no other community has thus
far to greet him. Thousands lined
the streets over six-mile drive
from the airport to the business
Isection.
The bad news, from his stand
point. was in Evansville, where a
poll just begun by one of the local
papers showed Gen. Eisenhower
getting 68.5 per cent of the vote
to 31.5 per cent for Gov. Steven
son in the first returns.
What makes this poll significant
lis that Vanderburgh County, in
which Evansville is located, is one
Iof II counties in the United
States that has been on the
winning side in every presidential
election since 1896.
Questions G. O. p. Claims.
In a speech on government
economy at the Coliseum Fair
Grounds here last night Gov.
lStevenson questioned the Repub-
lican argument that a general
could best cut down military
waste.
The Democratic nominee said
that his experience with generals
and admirals has not convinced
him that their education, expert
Ience or inclination is the best in
surance of thrift with public
funds.
| Gov. Stevenson also lashed out
at Indiana's Republican Senator
Jenner last night, without men
tioning his name.
| He predicted Hoosier voters will
elect Democratic Gov. Henry F,
Schricker to the Senate land not
a man who ISLANDERS one of our
greatest patriots and deprecates
in ugly words the gallantry and
sacrifice of Korea and the fight
for freedom and peace"
This was an obvious reference
to Senator Jenner, who once made
a Senate speech denouncing Gen
Marshall when President Truman
named him Secretary of Defense
Incidentally, the Evansville poll,
which showed Gen. Eisenhower
running far ahead of Gov. Steven
son, indicated a nip-and- tuck race
for the Senate. It gave Senator
Jenner SOL per cent of the first
returns and Gov. Schricker 1913
per cent.
Budget to Remain Large.
Although Gov. Stevenson out
lined a five-point program he
would follow to achieve economy
in Government, he bluntly told
his Indianapolis audience that
even after pinching every penny.
the Federal budget is still going
to be large until the Air Force is
built up to 143 wings and other
defense plans fulfilled to deter
Russian aggression.
mo honest man can say how
long we shall have to maintain
it," he said. "but you can be sure
it is likely to be for long time to
come. If I told you anything else.
I would be deceiving you or my
self. Deceit may win elections
now and then, but it will never
win wars or save civilization"
| This was a reply to Republican
promises to cut the budget sharply
and pave the way for tax relief.
| Indianapolis police estimated
the street crowds which lined the
curbs for Gov. Stevenson at only
about half the 125.000 figure used
when Gen. Eisenhower was here

To Reveal Fund
Names Tonight
List of Donors and
Recipients to Be Made
Public at 6 O'Clock
BY }. A. OledN
Stor StoH Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 27.-Gov.
today gave to reporters
the names of contributors and
recipients of his special State ex-
pense fund.
The reporters were admonished.
not to make the names
public until 6 o'clock tonight. A
statement accompanying the list
of names also was not to be made
public until that time.
Details began to emerge inde-
pendently, however. Three State
officials appointed by the Gov
ernor already have disclosed they
were beneficiaries of the contro-
versial expense fund.
Denials Are Reported.
Chicago newspapers have con-
tinued to print additional news
about the fund. One polled Is
persons the newspaper described
as present and former State big
wigs and said each denied re-
ceiving any extra pay from the
fund.
Several State officials have adj
mitted receiving Christmas gifts"
from Gov. Stevenson. They are
j. Edward Day, State director Of
insurance; Fred Hoehler, State
welfare director. and Walter
Schaefer, a justice Of the Illinois
Supreme Court.
Justice Schaefer said he got
$500 from the Governor in 1850.
The others declined to say how
much they got.
Gov. Stevenson last night de-
Tended, for the second time this
week, payments he has made from
the privately raised funds to aug
ment the salaries of some State
officials.
DigresseS From Speech.
He digressed from his speech on
economy in Government at Indi-
annapolis to refer again to the fund
which Republicans have been de-
manding that he explain more
fully. -
The Republicans have been
Ihammering at Gov, Stevenson
about the Illinois fund as q
counterattack to the recent criti-
cism of Senator Nixon, the Re-
publican vice presidential nomi-
nee, for using a privately raised
$4,000 expense fund.
'I don't have much chance to
read the papers these days." said
Gov. Stevenson last night. "but
I hear there is a lot of curiosity
about some help ! gave some good
people in Illinois.
II hope my reputation is not
involved, because if it is a crime
to help good people in the gov
eminent Of Illinois. then I am
guilty"
Gifts at Christmas Time.
In a speech at Baltimore
Wednesday morning Gov. Steven
son explained that he has made
gifts, usually at Christmas time,
to a few men of exceptional quail
f1cations who gave up better op-
|portunities in private employment
to help him improve the State
government.
But he declined at that time to
reveal any names, saying no good
purpose would thereby be served.
He also insisted at that time that
there were no obligations involved.
because the recipients did not
have any knowledge of the donors.
Public discussion of the fund has
continued. however, and yesterday
it became apparent that the Gov
ernor had decided it is necessary
to clear up the situation.
His failure to divulge all the
details up to now has given the
Republicans an opening to COM
pare his statements on the Illinois
fund with Senator Nixon's full
disclosure of the details of his
; expense fund.
