0'DwYer' S Status Reported
Turned Over 10 Church
By the Associufed Press

MEXICO CITY, Nov. g.
Sources close to Mexican church
authorities say the question Of
the future marital status of
Sloan Simpson and William
O'Dwyer, former New York
Mayor. has been turned over to
New York Roman Catholic Off
cials.
In New York, however, one of
Francis Cardinal Spellman's
secretaries said last night Ito
the best of our knowledge" no
documents in the case have been
received at the New York dio-
cesar Office.
Mr.. O'Dwyer and the former
model were granted temporary
church permission to live apart
last December, shortly after he
resigned his post as United States
Ambassador to Mexico. His wife,
who has resumed her former
name of Sloan Simpson, later
obtained a Mexican civil divorce.
Mr.. ODwyer did not contest that
action because he said he could
not recognize the jurisdiction
of a civil court over Catholic
marriage.
The Roman Catholic Church.
however, has not yet announced
any further action in the case.
Mexican sources did not say
whether a request had been
made for anything more than
a permanent separation.

News of Music
Not This
By John Paul

Stephen Hero returned to the
Phillips Gallery last night in a
violin recital composed, for the
most part, of seldom heard music
of Polish composers.
In his recital here last spring,
Mr.. Hero was the victim of an
untried and inexperienced pian-
iSt. Last seasons handicap was
handsomely overcome in this re-
cital by Joseph Schwartz, who
proved to be a most able and
brilliant accompanist.
The flaws in intonation and
rhythm, which were numerous in
the Devils Trill of Tartini," !"
were not so evident in the
Sonata in A minor" by Pade-
rewski. Mr.. Hero had the dis
tinction of presenting this So
nata in New York in a public
concert honoring the composer.
Of the three movements COM
priSing this work, the intermezzo,
founded on a skillfully-worked
subject of individuality, is the
best. 1t is romantic work and
bears the impress of the COM
poser's personality. 1t is a diff
cult work, especially for the
piano, and makes one wonder if
it is worth it.

Karlowicz was one of Poland'S
most gifted song composers, and
the concerto abounds in the
melodies for which he is noted.
Mr.. Hero is at his best in lyrical
passages and here he was given
the opportunity to display a fine
expressive legato line. The diff
ficult cadenza was done with

Two other works to be given
their first American perform
ance were the "Burleska" of
Malawski, and the "Suita Hucul-
ska" by Maklakiewicz. Bur
leska" is a lively, rather modern
piece, which should be heard
more often. It was given an ex-
citing reading and gave both
artists ample occasion to dis
play their virtuosity.

suggestion to the Chairman of
the Housing Bureau that some
one be hired who was not inter

the complaint against the first

and was informed that the Health
Office had advised the clerk who

BEN E. DOUGLAS, former May
or Of Charlotte is new director
of the N. c. Department of Con-
servation and Development.
AS mayor of Charlotte from
1885 to 1941, Douglas was con-
sidered "a doer" and numerous
projects designed to make the
friendly City" more important
in the list of expanding cities of
the nation were completed dur
ing his administration. Among
these was the Douglas Municipal
Airport at Charlotte, considered
one of the best in the nation.
A native of Iredell county,
where he was born So years ago
to DR.. Benjamin Franklin Doug
las and Mrs. Margaret Louise
Miller Douglas, Ben Ebert Doug
las attended Gastonia High
School and then set out to make
his mark in the business world.
That he succeeded well is a
matter of common knowledge in
the City of Charlotte. There he
built a business in furs, ladies
ready-to-wear, dry cleaning and
laundry.
and as President of Charlotte
is a striking reminder of his
ability as a builder and develop
er. AS a member of the State
Highway and Public Works Com
mission from 1945 to 1949, Doug
las was quite instrumental in the
construction of the widely known
Independence Boulevard, a high
way which cuts through the
principal parts of Charlotte. His
work on the State Highway Com
mission was also noted for what
he did for other counties in the
Seventh Highway Division in the
matter of more and better roads.
After serving as mayor OF
Charlotte, Douglas was named
director of North Carolina Civil
Defense in 1943-45 and was gen
orally credited with building a
strong system of civilian defense

told him what the Housing Bur-
eau had told me, and asked him
if he or anyone in his office had
given anyone instructions not to
send me tourists. He denied en-
phatically that any such instruc-
tons had gone out of his office.
He did say however, that some
one from the Housing Bureau
had inquired of him as to the ad-
visibility of sending tourists to
my home, and he told them as far
as he was concerned he knew of
no law to stop me, but that he
would write to the office in Raj
eigh and get further information.
Of course there isn't any law to
stop me from taking tourists. My
home, from a health standpoint
is great deal safer than many
I could name in Manteo.
There are a good many nice
comfortable rooms in Manteo
that lie idle night after night be-
cause the tourists who 60 to he

of this situation and they are, in
great many instances, sent into

long to this organization aren't
eligible, according to the rules of

the reason so many people will
not become affiliated with this
organization is the manner in
which it has always been run. In
other words the same people
monopolize this business every
year.
