U, 5 MAY ‘TAP’ MIDWEST FUEL

Rodgers Tells That This Section Must Make Sacrifices.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26 (U. P).—Ted | V. Rodgers, president of the American Trucking Associations, said yesterday that he had been informed by “a high official” in the office of | the petroleum co-ordinator that the Midwest soon will feel the effects of gasoline rationing. Mr. Rodgers told a meeting of the Central Motor Freight Association that the Middle West will be asked to make gasoline “sacrifices to forestall a really critical shortage in the East.” He said there was no gasoline shortage in the Midwest, but that the normal supply of this area would be tapped for shipments to the East. He said the office of the Petroleum co-ordinator already was surveying Midwest railroad and truck facilities for means of transporting petroleum from this region to the Eastern states. “Realizing that further curtailment of gasoline use in the East soon would have a crippling effect,” Mr. Rodgers said, “Federal officials are making plans for moving supplies overiand from the Midwest to the | East.”

I thought it was unusual, and as I walked by the room I saw him hugging and kissing her.” She said she at first checked off his cocktail parties and attentions to women as a part of his business, but, “when I found him Kissing his women friends in our apartment, I thought differently. “When I confronted him with what I saw, he said, ‘You'll just have to take me as I am.’ When I cried he laughed.

NEWEST ‘GRISIS’ FAILS TO RIPEN

U. S. Has No Consul in San Marino, But No Trouble Develops.

Times Special

WASHINGTON, Aug 26—The diplomatic crisis between the United States of America and the Republic of San Marino—unlike the cheeses of San Marino—has failed to ripen. The crisis was feared by nervous observers here when Italy and the United States recently withdrew their consuls from each other. San Marino has had no American consul, having been looked aftel in the essential things by the U. S. representative at Florence, Italy. Now the Florence man isn’t there. But San Marino—pint-size republic entirely surrounded by Italy —4did not reciprocate. It still maintains in New York its two representatives in this country—Honorary Consul General Ercole H.

Pin That Nearly Caused Duel And Wife Are Lost by Prince

Locatelli and Honorary Vice Consul;

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26 (U. P) —Mrs. Ruth Brazell, the former Princess Ruth Pignatelli D’Aragon, got not only a divorce from her husband, but also a $6000 diamond brooch which he said had almost caused him to fight a duel.

Judge Thurmond Clarke, after briefly reviewing Brazell's testimony that his wife had a “phantom lover” with false teeth she had bought, yesterday rejected his demand for $1000 a month separate maintenance and awarded Mrs. Brazell a divorce on grounds of cruelty. Judge Clarke also ruled she was entitled to the brooch, which Brazell, a middle-aged broker, pleaded was a family heirloom. He asked to be allowed to keep it. if he was left nothing else from his mar: riage. He said he gave the brooch to Mrs. Brazell in Cannes, France, 10 years ago, shortly before she divorced Prince Ludovico Pignatelli D’Aragon, cousin of the late King Alfonso of Spain, and the prince

challenged him to a duel. Brazell said he accepted, quoted the prince as saying: seconds are waiting.” “I asked him what the procedure was, and he said I could choose the weapons—swords, sabers or pistols. I told him I knew nothing about knives and would take the pistols at 20 paces. “He asked me who would be my seconds and I told him the bartender would be all right.” “Then what happened?” Roy G. Farr, his attorney, asked. “It all blew up,” Brazell said. “The police stopped it. Too much scandal.” Had he fought the duel, he said, it would have been the prince’s 35th over his wife.

Angelo Flavio Guidi. State Department officials pointed out that this Government still maintains its embassy in Rome, which could be depended on to handle any complication with San Marino. San Marino, with its 38 square miles and 14,545 inhabitants, maintains an army of 39 officers and 950 men (according to the World Almanac). It remained at war with Germany, as a hangover from the 1914-1918 disturbance, until September, 1940.

At War With Britain The San Marinese let the matter slide until the present world row cpened up, when they discontinued belligerency with Germany and immediately declared war on Great Britain. . ‘An investigator for the New York World-Telegram, a Secripps-Howard newspaper, sought out Consul General Locatelli in the lower part of that City, found the San Marino consulate locked. Around the corner, however, at the cheese establishment of Mattia Locatelli, he found the consul general—who turned out to be not only that official but the head of the cheese firm, The consul general denied that his country had assumed an attitude of belligerency in this war or in the last big one. Mr. Locatelli regretted the international situation chiefly because of its effect on the cheese business. The British blockade has been very bad for that.

ASK UNION TO HELP DENTIST KEEP, JOB

DETROIT, Aug. 26 (U. P) —H. R. Hazel, business representative of the A. F. of LL, American Federation of Teachers, vesterday asked the American Federation of Teach-' ers financially to assist Dr. A, H.| Clark in his fight against dismissal as dentist at the Milwaukee Vocational School. In a report submitted to the federation’'s Academic Freedom Committee, Mr. Hazel asserted that minor charges against Dr. Clark were filed by the school's administration only because of his “power as a union organizer.” The question of A. F. of IL. assistance in the case was scheduled to reach the floor of the national convention today.
