Beciee Requiring Jews to Wear Star of David Badges Is Reason.
BERLIN, Sept. 23 (U. P.).—Reliable quarters reported today that 8 number of suicides had occurred in Berlin as a result of the new decree requiring Jews to wear badges displaying the Star of David. The decree, according to these sources, contains 35 paragraphs and specifies imprisonment in a concentration camp as the punishment for infractions. It sets forth that violations by children will result in punishment of parents or guardians and forbids covering up the badge. The decree was interpreted by these quarters to mean that Jews are required to display the star _ everywhere save in their own homes.

By api PEYTON GORDON Times Special Writer ASHINGTON, Sept. 23— Whi had one respite from national defense in the closing days of summer. Bumptious Bob Reynolds, Buncombe County, North Carolina’s contribution to the United States Senate, has allowed as how he is going to take unto himself a fifth wife. The capital's best social jaws dropped when Senator Reynolds announced his engagement to young Evalyn Washington McLean, daughter of the late Edward Beale McLean, one-time owner of Washington and Cincinnati newspapers and playboy of high society, and of Evalyn Walsh McLean, owner of the fabulous “ill-luck-to-those who wear it” Hope Diamond and daughter of goldmining Tom Walsh of Montana.
Senator Bob Reynolds
At 57, Bob Reynolds—“Our Bob” to his constituents and to himself—is still the showman who
made all the rotogravure sections,
back in 1937, when he smacked a hearty kiss on the rosy lips of the late Jean Harlow of Hollywood. He's back in the old vaudeville stride which they say won him fame, if not fortune, at New Orleans in 1916, in a skit called “Captain Bob of the National Guard.”
That New Orleans association goes pretty far back with “Our Bob.” His first wife—and I skip the names of all four—since side-by-side with that of his pros-

pective fifth, they'd mean nothing —was a Louisiana belle, “A mighty fine girl,” a friend of Bob’s told me. She met Bob in his native Asheville, N. C., while visiting there. Bob. discovered that his ladyfair owned an islund in the Mississippi which, though sometimes submerged by floods, recreated itself with sand and gravel every time the river rose. He represented his wife in a prosperous business of selling that sand and gravel. They had two children. Frances, a pretty blond girl, has been married several times herself, and Robert Junior has a Gov= ernment job here. For his second wife, Mr. Reynolds again went South—this time with his. Asheville cavalry unit of the National Guard. Bob, dashing in uniform at an en-
campment at Augusta, Ga. met’
and married a pretty 17-year-old Georgia peach. There was one child.
_ Wedding Halts Suit
Later, in New York, Mrs. No. 3 literally ran across his path. A French mademoiselle who spoke no English, she got in the way of Bob’s automobile. She brought suit. Bob hurried to the hospital to discuss the litigation, and soon there was another wedding. Mrs. Reynolds No. 4 was a former Ziegfeld Follies beauty, brunet and quiet, who came to Washington with the Senator soon after his first election and who died not long afterwords. Now comes No. 5. Washington is divided in opinion. Why did 20-year-old Evalyn McLean, doubtless the next wearer of the illfated Hope Diamond, fall for the middle-aged Senator? You'd have to know a good deal about “little Evalyn”—that’s what she’s called to distinguish her from her mother —to begin to understand.
Born to Great Wealth She was: born to fantastic
wealth on both sides of the fam-
ily—her father is said to have paid the tax on a $1,000,000 income in each of 12 consecutive years. That was during the Harding Administration, with which her parents were intimately associated.
She probably doesn’t rémember the white-haired President who was her godfather. He played golf on her father’s private course at “Friendship,” their suburban home which had once been a monastery, and poker many a night at the great McLean mansion on I Street.
The youngest of four children— her eldest brother Vinsoh Walsh McLean was killed by a motor when he was a small child; her brother John R. the Second (Jock), is married to the former Agnes Pyne of Princeton, N. J., and now owns an airplane factory at Dallas, Tex.; and another brother, Edward Beale Jr., is mar= ried to Ann Meem, daughter of a Washington banker, and lives in Colorado Springs. Evalyn was christened Emily Beale McLean for for her father’s grandmother, for many years THE grande dame of Washington society. Little Emily grew up unaware of the strife and final separation of her mother and father. At 12 she visited her first night club.

ursday and Saturday Night Until 9 O'Clock
Evalyn Washington McLean
Poised and sure, she watched the dancers, sipped her lemonade, and was bored with it all. Next year, visiting London after a cruise to Scandinavia and Russia, she again tried the night clubs, liked them better, and soon became a familiar figure in the glamor spots of New York and Washington. Shortly after that she dropped her grandmother's name and assumed the first names of her mother and of her paternal greatgrandfather, old Washington McLean of Cincinnati, founder of the fortune. What Evalyn Washington McLean is like at 20, few people know.
Careless About Dress
She is amazingly precocious. Quiet, bored most of the time, she talks easily with people three times her age; has been to school only a few months, yet knows more than she could have learned
in books. Since hér babyhood sne has associated with the great and neargreat of the Capital. Her mother has long been a celebrity collector, and Little Evalyn is completely at ease with G-Man J. Edgar Hoover, the British Ambassador, a Cabie= net member or a Congressman. She’s tall, with handsome, long, straight legs, long slender hands tipped with laquered nails, reguular features and fine teeth. Pretty? Not to many tastes. She holds herself badly and doesn’t bother about her clothes or her grooming. Her hair, light brown, almost blond, hangs listlessly around her narrow face. Unlike her mother’s, her frocks are nondescript.
Few “Boy Friends”
Last winter, before a large dinner at Friendship, Brother Ned and a few guests were sitting in the bar when ‘a tall, beautiful
woman in slinky black, with im=:

playing and give me a cocktail,”
laughed Little Evalyn. She had dyed. her tresses, and even her brother didn’t know her. Little Evalyn has had few “boy friends.” Before ner brothers’ married, she often went places with them. A handsome Washington lad, Johnny Galligher, whirled her around for a winter or two. Then Hal Phyfe, a grey-haired photographer for smart publications, came down from New York and seriously courted the young heiress. . Mrs. McLean didn’t like that so much, but the child seemed to know what she wanted. If Hal
wasn’t asked to Friendship, she’d
go to New York. And there for a winter, correctly 'chaperoned, she studied dress designing or something. : Where Bob Came In
Where did Bob Reynolds enter the picture? Since shortly after his arrival in Washington, he has been one of the regulars at Mrs. McLean’s renowned Sunday night dinners. From the small-town lawyer who won his way to the Senate by pointing out the wealth and luxurious living at Washington of his opponent, Senator Cameron Morrison, Bob has rapidly
become a dapper, immaculately
groomed asset to many a drawing room. And now he’s going to marry into a family that spends more lavishly than anybody in North Carolina, including the Dukes, ever heard of spending.
But Bob may not always be in ||. J Y !
