The Palm Beach Post from West Palm Beach, Florida • Page 3

Morning, July 6, 1938 THE PALM BEACH POST Page Three HULL DISCLOSES EXPORTS INCREASE Denies Allegations That Treaties Have Hurt America WASHINGTON, July 5. (P) Secretary Hull challenged as "fundamentally unsound" today an assertion by Rep. Schneider. (ProgWis) that the trade agreements program had brought a flood of agricultural products into this country. In a letter to Schneider, the secretary of State said that during the first five months of 1938 exports of corn had risen to 168,000 bushels compared with 000 bushels in the same period of 1937, wheat exports had into 43,275,000 bushels from 665,000, while of had dropped from 38,341,000 to 227,000 and of wheat from 6,772,000 to 5,000.

The Wisconsin Representative had criticized the trade agreements in a letter to President Roosevelt, published in the Congressional Record. Noting that Schneider had included wood, paper and textiles in his agricultural figures, Hull said that our most important tural imports are commodities such as rubber, coffee, tea and sugar which either cannot be produced here, or cannot be produced in volume at reasonable cost. Hull said tariff reductions by this country bring similar reductions from other countries and stimulate trade. Therefore, he added, "the trade agreements are in fact providing a significant contribution to the maintenance of orderly and peaceful international relations." He declared, however, the reductions were not being made "to buy peace." In another letter, to Rep. Ramsay (D Va), Hull ridiculed charges that the glass industry is suffering because of concessions to Czechoslovakia.

tion that Commenting I on the "'implicaam a free trader and the trade-agreements program a free-trade program," Hull said: "My personal position by now should be better known than this. What I condemn are excessive tariffs, tariffs high out of all reason, that in effect give a special privilege to the few industries sheltering behind them at the expense of all those in the nation who live by exports and to the detriment of consumers generally."

k. Friends See Babs" Forever Chasing Rainbows Of Happiness By RUTH MILLETT Society Surprised By New Marital Crack- Up NEA Service Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 5-New York socialite friends of Barbara Hutton, who have watched from "box seats" her pursuit of happiness ever since her $50,000 debut in a shimmering silver ballroom here eight years ago, profess to be as surprised as any newspaper reader in Punkin Center that the "Golden Girl's" latest matrimonial venture hasn't clicked. They are inclined, however, to write down her impending European divorce from the handsome Count Court Haugwitz-Reventlow as just one more chapter in the Woolworth heiress' quest for that "inner contentment" which seems to come more easily to the less wealthy girls who patronize her dime stores than to her. "She always has been a princess of discontent," one friend described her. "We never have understood it, but it is true that her whole life has been a series of chases after a complete happiness which she seems to feel lies just around the corner." As a child Orphaned Barbara at "Hutton had little that a child really needs.

When the plump golden-haired little girl 12 years old her inheritance was estimated at But she had no motherand no home. When she was only five her mother died suddenly leaving her small daughter to inherit more money from the fortune of her grandfather, F. W. Woolworth, than Barbara has ever known what to do with. The hard life began when she lost her mother.

She had no home until her father married a second time, nine years after her mother's death. And so the girl who was to have so much that newspapers dubbed her the Golden Girl was passed from relative to relative and back again to a life with a bereaved father. So a lonely child into a beautiful heiress, furned' magically into a Golden Girl. She was made ready for a 1930 debut at a party at the Ritz-Carlton in New York which turned the ballrooms of the hotel into a forest of silver birch trees. And then she was sent to London to bow before the King and Queen.

Golden Girl's Saga Her life was lived on the front pages- a gay life spent lunching, teaing, and dancing with Jimmy Blakeley, Georgie Ehret, Tony Biddle, Winston Guest, or Phil Plant socialites all. Wherever she went, men attracted by her wealth, and not repelled her beauty, were drawn to her like bees to a honey-pot. But something was wrong. Barbara was forever running awayspending her money in Paris, London, Biarritz, Siam. Everywhere she went men swarmed about her.

Whatever she did was reported--and an engagement was rumored whenever she looked twice at a playboy. The Golden Girl denied the rumors-and continued to run away -going to Florida, Newport-or around the world. Some kind of escape, pychologists might call the urge that drove her from place to place. But then she found her Prince Charming the Georgian Prince Alexis Mdivani, poor in money but rich in charm and quite willing to let his wife, Louise Astor Van Alen, divorce him so that he might give the Golden Girl the only worldly thing she seemed to lack, a title. Her engagement to the Prince was the beginning of a hostile press.

She spent so much money on her trousseau that, she was criticized severely. wasn't pleasant for anyone but Paris shopkeepers and dressmakers to know that a girl could and would spend $80 for a street purse-and buy a number of them. Barbara's answer was, "Why are people so hostile because one has a little money The Golden Girl bought her latest wish. She became a prin- Princess Babs. But even cess.

honeymoon wasn't happy. Her Prince, dodging a subpoena in connection with the trial of his brothers for theft, skipped out of her private train leaving her to continue a much publicized, husband-less honeymoon. Marriage Mishap No. 1. That was the beginning of the end.

In no time at all, the Princess found herself neglected while her husband, who received a handsome money dowry from her, spent most of his time with the polo ponies she had bought for him. Soon she took to writpoetry and set about getting a divorce. When the divorce was granted she married the Danish Count Court Haugwitz-Reventlow, Again life seemed set for the gril who bought and bought but never able to find what she wanted. When she recovered a from a serious illness following the birth of a son, the world was ready to believe that the poor little rich girl had reached the NEW YORK BY BUS 16.15 $29.10 TRIP ROUND The Only Thru Line North LOWEST RATES DAILY SERVICEOne Round Way Trip PHILADELPHIA $15.10 $27.20 BALTIMORE 13.85 24.95 WASHINGTON 13.40 24.15 CHARLOTTE 10.25 18.45 ROANOKE 11.85 21.35 Reserved Seats Free Pillows Porter Service No Extra Charge PAN- AMERICAN LINES DAVIS TOURS 213 S. Olive Avenue -Phone 7786 West Palm Beach EQUALIZATION SESSION HELD BY COUNTY BOARD Commissioners To Meet Again Today On Tax Roll The county commission met at the courthouse Tuesday morning to equalize any complaints against the 1938 State and county tax roll, but none were filed.

After the equalization meeting, the board met briefly as a county commission. The commission will meet again morning at the courthouse to continue as a board of equalization. County Tax Assessor James M. Owens informed the commission Tuesday morning that he had denied 19 applications for homestead tax exemption on the current 1 roll. Another application which had been denied was allowed by the assessor.

The application was from Joseph Yergin-Graannis, of Lake Worth, who showed that the property was owned by his father and mother last January 1 since when they have died and he has come into possession as the sole heir. They made the property their home during their lifetime and he makes it his home now, the applicant asserted. The nineteen applications rejected, of some 7,000 filed, were for the following reasons: not having legal or beneficial title on January 1, seven; property was transferred before January 1, one; husband of wife making application living in another State (wife's residence is with husband), two (in one the property was owned jointly by husband and wife but the husband did not live in Florida on January 1); applicants not residing on property and making it their home in good faith, five (one was not a Florida citizen); not an American citizen, three; a Florida citizen, Assessor Owens presented his tax roll, showing an active valuation of $15,345,770 and total valuation of $23,513,840, an increase of $714,661 over the 1937 roll. He stated no railroad and telegraph assessments have been received for 1938, but they have been estimated on the 1937 assessed valuation. In addition, he stated unreported tax redemption for the last four months probably will raise the non-exempt active valuations by approximately $100,000.

The voluntary intangible property returns filed total $81,558,000, Assessor Owens stated. The halfmill levy goes to the State. Arbitrary assessments of intangibles have not been totaled. A resolution from the Florida Inland Navigation District certifying its levy of half a mill for operation and half a mill for debt service was received and filed. It was said at the session the State levy is 3 5-8 mills this year.

After the meetings, County Agent M. U. Mounts reported to the county board's agricultural committee, composed of Commissioners Byrd, Doyle W. Crocker Cand John Prince. Agent Mounts reported there is a movement in the county from cities to farming areas, and that the raising of hogs is rapidly becoming an industry on a comparatively small tho important scale in the county.

He also requested that arrangements be made possible for him to stay in the field most of the week. Under his suggestion, he could stay in the field and work on farm problems with farmers after they have completed their day's work. It also would require him to be in his office here on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. INSURANCE PAID ON PLOT VICTIM WAYCROSS, July 5 Proceeds of policies on the life of 12-year-old J. C.

Nelson, described by officials as the victim of an "insurance plot" slaying, were paid to the clerk of superior court here today, with Judge M. D. Dickerson scheduled to hear rival claims. The boy's father, Harvey Nelson, a roadhouse operator, and two women employes, Verna Mae Fowler and Mary Kent, are under arrest in connection with the fatal shooting. An insurance company today paid $468 to the $312 on a policy in force since November, 1937, and $156 on a policy in force just three days before the shooting.

claimants to the money were not identified in the court announcement that the insurance had been paid. TWO NEGROES JAILED ON ASSAULT CHARGES Two negroes were in county jail Tuesday on charges of assault to kill in the western section of the county over the weekend. Constable Albert Gant of Pahokee and Deputy Francis Cross arrested Otis Branch, negro, alias "Shine" on a charge of assault to kill over the weekend.

A stern-visaged Count Court Haugwitz-Reventlow is shown, right, emerging from his Paris hotel and striding away from inquiring reporters as the world first learned of his estrangement from his heiress wife, the former Barbara Hutton, left. Unaware of the rift between his parents, the Haugwitz-Reventlows' 2-year-old son Lance is seen playing under the care of a nurse at their palatial London home. Barbara Hutton--the "golden Girl" of international society--was making her first quest for marital happiness when this picture was taken during the colorful ceremony of the Russian Orthodox Church in Paris, as she became the bride of Prince Alexis Mdivani.

But the Golden Girl who has given her two husbands so much and received so little in return, is finding another part of her life falling apart. She gave her Prince young love, glamor, wealth, the way of living loved -and he left her as lonely as she had been before. She gave her Count independent wealth, renounced her own country to become a citizen of his, gave him a beautiful son. And yet it seems the Golden Girl has squandered her money and youth again. Bomber Willing To Take No.

13 CHICAGO, July 5. (AP) For 16 years the custodian of equipment has endeavored to give police badge 13 to an officer. He found none who would accept it. Today Marshall Pidgeon, member of the bomb squad, turned in his old and worn star, numbered 6088, and asked for a new one. He was asked if he would take 13.

"Why not?" he inquired. Nobody could think of any reason why he shouldn't. So he pinned it on his uniform. SPANISH REBELS NEARING NULES HENDAYE, France (At the Spanish Frontier), July Spanish Insurgent forces fought their way down the Mediterranean Coast toward the fortified town of Nules today, hewing a path thru stubborn government lines by dint of their superiority in airplanes and mechanized land equipment. Sweeping thru blasted orange groves, Generalissimo Francisco Franco's Galicians opened the way by capturing the exporting town of Burriana, 20 miles north of gunto, while another column approached Villavieja, to the west, in an effort to force a ring around Nules.

Nules is on the Castellon-Valencia Highway, 14 miles north of Sagunto, where this highway joins the one from Teruel to continue as one road to Valencia. The government has boasted that Franco's offensive will be stopped by strong fortifications at Nules and strongly defended positions inland. Nevertheless, the government commander, General Jose Miaja, has been bringing all the power' at his disposal to bear in an effort to check the enemy before they reach that line.
