Bobo Rockefeller To Seek Huge Alimony Expected To Demand $250,000 Per Year NEW YORK UP —Bobo Rockefeller, whose “Cinderella” marriage to Standard Oil heir Winthrop Rockefeller broke up after one year, may seek history's largest alimony settlement it was reported today. The 36 - year • old immigrant’s daughter was rumored to be planning a separation suit that would demand at least $250,000 a year support and maintenance for her and her four-year-old son, Winthrop Paul Rockefeller. Bobo remained in seclusion in the air conditioned' Park Avenue apartment of her estranged husband. She moved in unexpectedly with her son and friend last Friday. Rockefeller, who-, is in Little Rock, Ark., has refused to comment on Bobo’s actions or on reports of impending legal maneuvers. ' Speculation was that Bobo moved into the New York apartment from her parents’ farm home in Indiana to block a plan by Rockefeller to obtain a quick Arkansas divorce. Arkansas law permits divorce on grounds of desertion, and Bobo could counter such a move by contending it is her husband, and not she, who is away from home. On the basis of legal precedent. Bobo probably could ask a separation alimony of one third of her husband's income. Rockefeller’s income from the John D. Rockefeller family fortune has been estimated at $1,000,000 or more a year. Such a settlement would easily break current records in the alimony field. The highest sum now being paid in New York is the S7OO a week, or $36,400 a year, which former swimming star Eleanor Holm receives from Showman Billy Rose. Bobo, who was born in the Pennsylvania coal fields and was a model and an actress before she became a Rockefeller in 1948. spent Wednesday in the cool comfort of the 17th floor apartment. She sent a note to reporters who were waiting at the street entrance: ’ 1 “Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I know it’s very hot. I do ' not plan to go out. I have no statement or comment.” 4. According to this lesson, how ought one treat his enemies? Trade In h Good Town—Deeaturi

Seriptwre: Romans I— S. Devotional Readinc: Psalm 111. —H —— Li —- God Is Righteous Lesson for July 5, 1953 ... . , i,5 - , / V 4 AYBE it is because righteous is not a singable word. (Is there any rhyme for it?) Maybe it is because the word has a hard ring to it in some ears. It seems to suggest ,something rigid and uhbeautifiil, like a poker or O' fence- * post. Anyway, for some reason or other, we do not hear much about

God's being righteous. \ Words like “love” or “mercy” are used more often. We hear of the high and holy God, the almighty, or we hear of the loving Father of all. But we do not hear often enough of the God who first and last and

always is the righteous God. * * ? A Righteous God Or None The Biide’s God is a righteous God. But the writers of the Bible did not shiver when they wrote that word. They did not belieVe and tremble, they believed and were glad. In fact, nobody whc gives the question the serious thought it deserves would be interested in God if he were not righteous. An un-righteous God would be no God at all but a kind of devil. Righteousness means being right, first of al). It means ! seeing things as they are, seeing past the surface to the heart ot things. No one who sees men and character dimly or crookedly can be righteous. But righteousness is more than being right. It means being right-In-action. It includes being just and fair, though it is more than that, too. Some one might be fair because the rules compelled him to be. He might be fair tb others So that they in turn would be fair to him. Righteousness means not only fustice in act, but justice in desire, ft means the love of justice arid not only the practice of it. Righteousness—the Bible word—in addition means dependability. The original meaning of the word was limply “straight.”

lustice For All God is like man in one respect His actions speak louder than hit words. The writers of the Bible, □ld Testament ahd New, more often speak of God’s righteous acts than of his righteous words. It re* mained for the Apostle Paul to lum up the case for God’s righteousness. It is shown, he says—i demonstrated, that is to say-r-in two ways. These two ways are enlarged on in the early chapters of Romans as well as elsewhere in Paul’s writings. . First, of all, the justice of God expresses His righteousness. God Is no “respecter of persons;” iq other words, He plays no favorites. Paul’s own pe6ple, the Jews, had misunderstood what it iheant to be the “chosen” people. They had supposed it meant they were God’s though the propta ets had long tried to explain that “chosen” meant chosen for service, appointed. Some people today think that “Nordics” or Americans or some other group is God’s chosen people; His favorites, His pets so to speak. No, the Bible teaching is that in God’s sight all men stand on an equal tooting. • • • Redemption For All If this were all that could be said, we of the human race would be in a hopeless hole. As Paul shows, the fact that God treats all men alike in the long run. is no comfort at all; it only means that the verdict "Guilty” must be pronounced on us all. Comparing what we are with what we ought to be, hot even we ourselves can honestly gay much for ourselves. Il God’s righteousness,, were nothing but an even-handed justice, it would be a searing flame. But it is more. The other way God shows His righteousness Is in His mercy, in His coming to ug in Christ. He has made salvation —that is. the setting-free from the deadly whirling wheeling of sin and destruction—He made this free to. all. He forces mercy on no one. But If He offered mercy and forgiveness only to a selected few—or for that matter, only to 9 selected many—then while He might be palled merciful He could hardly be called righteous. If God saved everyone, regardless He would still not be righteous. He saves those who have faith, that is, those who humbly accept what they realize they can never earn*4the transforming love of God. For one of the glorious things about God is that He is not only righteous— He shares His 1 have professed to live as an, 1I > - infidel; I see now it Ik a poor creed l)y which to die.—Dying Mau.

Funds For Voice Os America Cut Deeply Deep Cut In Request By Pres. Eisenhower WASHINGTON, UP — A house appropriations subcommittee has Voted a deep ent in funds requested by President Eisenhower for the * Voice of America, it was learned today. Mr. Eisenhower sought $87,600,000 for the Voice and other overseas information activities. The subcommittee allowed only $60,000,000, a reduction of $27,600,000 Informants said the subcommittee also voted to direct the Voice of America to transfer its offices and employes from New YPrk to Washington. The staff would be reduced under the transfer and a savings made on office rental. The Voice already is undergoing a shakeup by administration order. Leonard F. Erickson, New York advertising executive, was appointed head of the agency Wednesday with instructions to “reorganize 'the entire radio effort.” The budget cuts voted by the house subcommittee, unless reversed at some later point in the legislative process, would seem to mean that Erickson’s “reorganization” will have to be directed mainly at cutting down voice operations. Former President Truman, hi budget estimates submitted to congress last January, asked for $134,715,000 for the foreign information services to spend or obligate in the 1954 fiscal year which started Wednesday. The Eisenhower administration cut the request by $47,115.000. 5 The subcommittee action is subject to approval by the full appropriations committee next week, and by the house later this month. The subcommittee action would mean a cut of about 32 percent in Mr. Eisenhpwer’s request and a cut of about 55 percent in the Truman request.
