In her petition, Mrs. Malmquist
contends that the interview was
done with the intent to modest and
harass her and to carry out a de-
mand for a substantial sum of
money from her and her present
husband as a price for desisting
from adversely pubncizing her in
an embarrassing manner and for
the purpose Of disturbing, inter

break up her present marriage"
She asked the court for a rule
against Noble to SHOW cause, If

guilty and punished for contempt
of court"
Noble and his former wife of

Mrs. Malmquist contends that
Noble violated the restraining or

The former Mrs. Noble has re-

threat Of renewed racial unrest
broke out in South Africa

in African settlements about

injured were reported to total
