After Their-Marriage With the institution of annulment proceedings tn the New York Supreme Court by Mrs. Preston Sturges, the former Eleanor Post Hutton, the marital idyll that began with the elopement of the author of “Strictly Dishonorable" and the society heiress to $50,000,000, seems slated for the Valhalla of shattered romances. According to the beautiful Eleanor, when she- married Preston Sturges in 1930, the author neglected to inform her that he was not then legally divorced from his former wife, Estelle Mudge Sturges. The annulment suit comes as a big surprise to New York society as did the marriage of the couple in the face of parental objections and threat, of disinheriting the bride. Though rumors that the Sturges marital barque had encountered rough weather have been afloat for some time, Mrs. Sturges has invariably silenced them with the brave statement that theirs was an “undying romance’’ and that no power on earth could part them. Eleanor was graduated from an exclusive finishing school in Farmingdale, L 1., after which she made her debut at one of the most brilliant eoming-out parties ever seen in New York. The following season she was presented to the British rulers at the Court of St James’s. Sturges, a son of Marie Debti, authoress, was a newspaperman in Chicago until he made good at play writing. He resides and studies in Paris, where he was served with the papers informing him of his wife’s action.

New York, —(UP)— His ssft,ftod,000 bride, the former Eleanor Post Hutum, turning strictly dis-owner-able, as far as his ownership is concerned, Prest n Sturges, famous playwright and author of “Strictly Dishonorable,” finds himself involved in a real life drama t.:ct is as complicated as some of the plots that have brought him fame. With the instituti n of annulment proceedings in the New York supreme couit, by Mrs. Sturges, tho marital idyll that began when the playwright and the society heiress eloped in 1930. seems to have expired, although at the time of their marriage Eleanor answered pa entai object! ns with the brave statement that nothing in the world could w.e.k her "undying romance.” But, according to the fifty mil-lion-doliar beauty, when she made that superb gesture of 1 ve defiant, e he did not know that Stu.ges had not been propely divorced from his former wife, Estelle Mud re Sturges who is now the wife f Myron Davy a mining engineer. However, there is much grounds for the supposition that, apart f on: t|se tangle with Mrs. Sturges No. 1. Eloinor’s r mance wa- not working out according to expe. tations. Soon after the elopement which stunned exclusive Pa:k Avenue and, incidentally, caused the parents of the b.-ide to c nsider cutting her out of a $50,009.0'10 inheritan e, stori: s began to filter through society circles that the matrimonial sea of Preston and Elean >r was getting difficult to navigate. Friends f Mrs. Sturges accused the playw ig.it of browbeating Ills wife to I he < stent of compelling tier to take reducing treatments. And friends of Mr. Sturges were equally insistent tivat the fault lay with the bride, asserting that the society beauty was wavering between husband and .parents and regretting, no doubt, the tiding p spects of Hie keep going nnl il form d down.

In answer to these rumors, Mrs. Sturges protested volubly that all I was welland until she recently filed her annulment petition maintained [that attitude, although the playwright resiled in Paris tvffllo she clung to New York. Eleanor Hutton Sturges is the daughter of Mrs. Edward F. Hutton by a former marriage to Edwird B. Close. The Closes were div reed in 1919 and a short time later M.S. Close married the wealthy Mr. Hutton. After he graduation from an ex- ' elusive finishing school at Farmingdale. L. I , Eleanor made her debut to New York S ciety at a brilliant party in the Ritz-Carlton. The following season she was one cf the American debs ch sen to make a bow to King George and Queen Ma y at the Court of St. James's. ■Sturges, Hie unwanted hubfty, is a s. n of Marie Desti, author of the “Unt Id Story,” tho life story of Isi- ' dora Dunin, internationally famous dancer, who was her close friend. He wa? an ttnconspicious new paper man in Chicago until he made a hit with his famous play, "St ictly Dishonorable,” which he is said to have written in nine days. Sturges is reputed to have made a , fortune f om the sti ge production i and picturizati n of his creation. Since his rise to weath, Sturges has lived and studied in Paris, where he was served with the pa- ! pe s infoming him of his wife's annulment action. Last year, when Eleanor attained I her twentyfirst bi th.lay. she came into possession of a $1,500,000 lel< cy fr m the estate left by her [grandfather, Hie late C. W. Post, cereal king of Batte Creek. Mich., so even though Ihe “undying romance" is b.eathing its last there is little ini -sibility that Sturges will ever see the inside of that limbo cf dis. aided husbands the Alim ny jail. ported they had covered approximately 803 miles during the more Ilian 20 hours they were in ' the ! air.

TINY INSECT RAIDS TOWN <’ap<> Girardeau, Mo.- (U.R) —A tiny insect pest, as destructive as the. Is costing building owners here thousands of dollars. Termites, ant like insects that reduce wood to pulp and cause huildin.s to cruniUde, have infested onethird of the business und public structure:! here, according to lumber dealers, who are waging a campaign to eradicate the pest. The Insects bore their way through concrete foundations and eat av.ay the timbers of buildings. They can be discovered only by careful examination and usually after great damage has been done Not infrequently the first Intima tion of their presence is seen in the collapse of a building after the foundation timbers have been destroyed. The termite lives and breeds underground. and requires both moisture and darkness to thrive, it feeds on the cellulose found in | wood. With a well organized community life, similar to the ants, its reproduction is enormous, one queen termite laying from 10,06 ft t< 50,00(1 eggs a week. The Federal Government has estimated the damage caused by termites at more than >50,000,000 a year. No entirely successful meins o> exterminating the insects is known. CONFERENCE WITH HOUSE ON TAX BILL .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Hoover had aged in the past few weeks. There was wondering comment that no flare-back of congressional criticism had met the President's message. The fact is that it was not mentioned in the senate after the tired voice of Mr. Hoover ceased speaking and he hurried from the chamber. Senators who have freely criticized Mr. Hoover's policies appeared to have sympathy today for a man whose job is lining his face with marks of care. Administration surprises hit the senate from every direction as the final se-sion began.

By HARRISON CARROLL. Oepjrlslit, 1132. King Feature* Syndicate, inc. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 00.— When Paramount films “Madame Butterfly” this summer, Gary Cooper will play the English lover and Sylvia Sidliey h' s tra K> c - Japanese sweetheart. P These selecW’jsMl tions were reI 'Maragr vealed today by I B *'■ Schulberg, " y '° * s eancel■A» ling another of Miss Sidney’s ; vehicles so the k »i3BbK production o f i. if - the famous I.< v a. East-West love story can get c i . under way late Sylvia j une or ear iy Sidney j n j u | y j t wj] | be the next picture for each of the two players. Meanwhile, Paramount has sent Edward Venturini to Japan to photograph atmospheric shots for the picture. Negotiations also are under way to purchase the original score of the opera to serve as background music in the film. The new version, of course, will not be operatic in form. Though I believe no definite selection has been made as yet, Marion Gering will probably direct the film. It was he who directed Miss Sidney in one of her early successes, “Ladies of the Big House.” Interesting to hear that this actress, despite her comparative newness to the screen, tops all other actresses on the Paramount lot in fan mail. Is it too silly, Jack Oakie’s story about the Hollywood couple who have taken up French lessons because they recently adopted a French baby and want to know what it says when it starts to talk? o Dramatically sudden was the departure of Walter Winchell apd his family last night for New York. The Broadway columnist left without signing the lucrative contract which Universal offered him to play the leading role in their story of a New York gossip writer. Much improved after his recent illness, Winchell said he intended to resume his newspaper and radio work at an early date. He characterized his negotiations with Universal as, at all times, amicable. AND SO TO GOSSIP. Despite his rebuffs from the major releasing companies, Howard Hughes is reported to be still considering the production of “Queer People,” much-criticized story of the foibles of Hollywood. Meanwhile, the young producer, who has sunk millions of dollars into his film ventures, is a consistent patron of the better bright-light places. . . Before he starts his first starring

opposition to higher income taxes . proposed by Senator Connally, Detn., Texas. Administration senators awltched promptly to the Con j nally amendment and with only three senators dissenting added at I least $7(1,000,not) more to the burden of income lax payers. Then within a half hour senators , learned that over the protest of ills party leaders in the senate Mr. I lioover had determined not only to send a special tax message to the st nate but to deliver it in person. I Senator Reed, Repn., Pa., and the , President's cwblnet were responsible for that decision. Other Republican leaders opposed it. At noon Mr. Hoover appeared In i the chamber. In a thin voice which I was lost before it reached the rear I tow of senate seats, he warned of an extraordinary emergency and raised the question whether demo- 1 [cracy had the ability and courage |to tax itself. After Mr. Hoover spoke, the senI e.te recessed an hour to enable the [finance committee to find more I money. It met again at 2 p. m.. to learn that gasoline was to be taxed ■one cent a gallon to raise $150,000,(100 and that househo'd users of gas [and electricity were to contribute $60,000,000 with a five per cent tax. Senator Howell, Repn., Neb., cried out against the gas and elec- , trlcity lax. He would tax all users |ot power alike and make the power companies rather than the actual I consumers pay if possible. The committee was voted down and | Howell finally was upheld with a ‘ 3 per cent tax on electricity alone, I with the product of municipallyI owned plants excepted. He estimated his amendment would raise $50,000,000. The gasoline tax went into the bill without a record vote. Oil, coal and lumber then successfully withstood a new anti-tar-iff attack and the fight against the copper tariff was abandoned. Senator LaFollette. Repn., Wis., obtained a change In the reserve exemptions of ifie insurance companI ies which reduced potential rev- : nue by $5,000,000 but the senate almost at once voted a tax of five cents on each SIOO of future sales ion commodity markets, to raise $6,'OOO.OOO of revenue. It was getting late and the sales I tax fight still was to come. Senators here and there recognized the impatient temper of the senate 'and withdrew motions to reconsider ! items in an effort to relieve this or i that group of special tax burdens. | Senator Fess, Repn., 0., moved that ' it be unanimously agreed that all I reconsideration motions be withdrawn and the agreement was giv-

cn. Senator Wa’sh, Dem., Mass., then offered the sales tax amendment. I All last week.it had disturbed the sleep of senate leaders but last | night it was a mere so rmality. | Walsh was defeated before he be-, gan and he knew it. He cut his | two hour speech to 25 minutes. Senator Bailey, Dent., N. C., dared , the senate’s impatience to make a long explanation why he was for j the Walsh amendment. Senators , shouted “vote," “vote,” but Bailey' had his say. And the 1% per cent manufacture’s sales tax was defeated, 53 to 27. That was almost the end. The | senate heard Vice President Curtis put the final question. When the roll was called. 11 senators voted against the bill. They were: Democrats (8), Black, Bulow, Costigan. Glass, Gore. Hawes, Smith and Trammell. Republicans. (2), Blaine and Norbeck. Farmer-I*alior, (It, Shipstead. Democratic opopsition was to the tariff rates included in [the bill. Senators G ass. Dom.. Va., and iTvdings, Dem.. Md., challenged the [ability of the tax bill to ba’ance [the budget. “In my judgment the budget will [not be balanced and the country [will be undeceived in the next two lor three months,” said Tydings. “I want to enter a most emphatic | dissent to that statement." said Senator Reed, Repn., Pa. "We are | assured by the treasury that we ' have provided for the needs of the [coming year and that we can deIpend upon it that the budget is [balanced if we stand by the economy bill.” "The tax bill certainly won’t ballance the budget unless we pass the economy bil',” .said Glass. ‘ And I don’t believe we wi 1 balance the budget even if we pass the economy I bill.” Smoot :nd Reed agreed that more titan the $238,605,000 economy reported liy the appropriations com- | mittee would be necessary. They [said tlie rest of the needed savings 'of $350,000,000 could be made up [by reductions from the various api propriations bills. The principal items in the economy bill were a 10 per cent reduc'tion in all federal salaries, calculated to tion of approximate y $58,000,000 in appropriations for war veterans; and a saving of $22,000,000 by re- [ d'icing annual leave of federal em- [ p'oyes from 30 to 15 days. The veterans' cut divided the appropriations committee alm o s t evenly, but with a margin for the economy. Loud, disputing voices could lie hoard in the cofhmittee room as senators shouted for and against a move of such political importance. Mills worked all night at the treasury before addressing the finance committee. He informed senators that degenerating business had decreased the prospective yield of taxes previously estimated by the treasury. The senate responded immediately by voting new levies. Mills asked for $1,125,000,000 and the bill as passed is less than $10,000,000 short of that sum. I “I won't quarrel with the last [$10,000,000.” Mi’ls told the United Press, but he evidently was disturb|ed by the senate's rejection of his 'own gas and electricity levies and I the substitution of the Howell 1 amendment. He said he would have I prospective revenue from that 'source investigated before agreeing

that it would raise $50,000,000. Washington. June 1. — (U.R) —lncome tax payers are given an add- ; ed $225,000,000 burden in the tax bill passed by the senate today.
