Roosevelt Alimony Battle Continues , Roosevelt Charges Wife With Thefts a - PASADENA, Calif., UP—James and Romelle Roosevelt square off again today in superior court in their bitter alimony battle in which he charged that she broke into his office and stole documents to use against him. - Roosevelt blurted his charge from the stand Monday when he was confronted with evidence that he set up a $2,500 trust fund last summer for Irene Owens, a woman named as one of three co-re-spondents in Mrs. Roosevelts pending suit for separate maintenance. The hearing on Mrs. Roosevelt's request for $3,500 a month temporary support for herself and the three Roosevelt children was scheduled to resume this afternoon. "On the third of August she (Mrs. Roosevelt) made a visit to my office building,” Roosevelt testified Monday. "She did not have a key to my office. She was let in by the janitor. She- had no key to the files so she broke into ony files and there have been since missing a great many documents from those files, including one that was produced here in court,” he said. Roosevelt, balding, eldest son of the late president, referred to a document dramatically presented by Arthur Schifferman, Mrs. Roosevelt’s attorney. The paper describing the trust fund for Miss Owens was torn to shreds and pieced together and Inclosed in plastic. It was dated Aug. 19 and read: "I am holding in trust in the name of Irene Owens in my trust account number 20202 in the Seventh and Olive streets branch of the Bank of America the sum of $2,500. I shall pay all or any portion of the amount to Irene Owens on demand.” It was sighed by Attorney John K. Sloan. - - - Roosevelt testified under questioning by Schifferman that "the purpose of the trust fund was for me, and Mr. Sloan has since returned it to me.” > Roosevelt, 47, made his theft charge against his wife under redirect examination by his lawyer, Samuel B. Picone, who produced a sign-in sheet for Roosevelt’s office building. Roosevelt identifiedhis wife’s signature. The first bombshell of Monday’s hearing was dropped by Schifferman when he asked Roosevelt If, he did not on Nov. 6, 1953, in a New York jewelry store buy a 2.83 carat diamond ring and whether or not it cost him $5,000. Roosevelt, apparently shaken by Schifferman’s attack, answered “yes,” but added to the best of his knowledge it was Mrs. Roosevelt's size and that he had purchased it for her. Schifferman fired another shell that, temporarily at least, proved to be a dud. “Then what is it doing here?” the lawyer demanded, producing a photograph of a bureau drawer. Picone bolted to his a resounding objection . and Judge Kurtz Kauffman called both attorneys and the two principals to his chambers for a closed''discussion. When the jurist re-entered the siifoß, crowded courtroom he dedared the photograph was not admissible as evidence "at- this time.” . _ - I ' . ■ s' " Retired General To Head State Board INDIANAPOLIS, UP —lndiana called on a retired air force general today to head the state aeronautics commission.

Douglas D-11l asked congress today to withdraw recognition from governments of Russian satellite nations. Douglas also called in a senate resolution for U. S. action to get the-Unjted Nations to adopt the same non-recognition policy. Douglas cited Russia's “forcible seizure” of Lithuania. (Estonia and 'Latvia and said the Soviet Union violated “solemn international agreements” in order to grab Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. He s?i dthe United Nations can strengthen itself 'by adopting the non-recognition policy and "presenting to the Communists a world front against acquiesence in these coquests.’! "I believe if the United Natinos had adopted this policy several years ago, it would have been impossible for the Communists to drive a wedge between free governments by agitating for admission of their satellites to world councils,” Douglas said. “Once this policy is adopted . . . the United Nations can be a source of real strength under international law.” • New Church Addition Cost Paid Or Pledged The cost of the new addition to Bethany Evangelical United Brethren church which was dedicated Sunday, has been met with cast donations and pledges, according to a financial report prepared by Earl Fuhrman. The pledges .made to cover a three-year period exceeded the goal by $3,000. A total of $15,000 was brought in through cash dowas brought’in through cash con- . tributions and pledges, Fuhrman reported.

10,000 Stage Riot In Calcutta, India Riot Develops As Strike Broken Up UAWUTTA, India UP — Ten thousand rioters fought a bloody pitched battle with police outside the legislative assembly today. The riot developed when authorities forcibly ‘broke up a 108-hour sitdown strike by school teachers outside the government buildings. The rioters hurled rocks, bricks, paving stones and -bottles at the police. •Police fought >baek with truncheons and tear gas. Horses at the scene were maddened by the tear gas and ran wildly through the battling crowds, trampling several people. ' The 'fight developed when the police, shortly before dawn, arrested the 250 striking school teachers. A mob which had assembled 'began screaming protests, then surged out of control when officers attempted to enforce a ‘no-assem-bly’ edict of the government. The rioters were driven back front the government buildings by the tear gas. but refused to halt their attack on police. The fighting swirled into side streets. Two state-owned double decker buses were overturned and smashed by the rioters. Others in the mob began smashing street lights. The teachers were demanding higher pay.
