Vice| President-elect Charle [ Dawes, | still confined to his E nston home | by & recent operation, wired his| jraise of Mr. Young. | During his speech Mr. Young said | that when people first began to speak | of the Dawes plan, instead of the ex- | perts plan, at a time when the out- come of the venture was e edingly dublous, Mr. Dawes said: “Well, let | them call it the Dawes plan. Some | one has got to stand up and take the | garbage or the garlar . At that time, Mr. Young said, it looked very | much as if the garlands would be largely of the “‘back-door’ variety i The first photograph of signa- ture to be sent across the ocean by radio was flashed on an improvised | screen at the beginning of the ad- dres: Tt was that of Sir Robert M.

He affirms that at all times during their married life she provided for. He specifically denies his wife's charge that she was forced to live in a shack while he lived here at the Montana Apartments. He says that she lived for some time during the Summer after their marriage with some woman friends fn a modern seven-room house on_the Bank of the Potomac River, near the 4900 block on Conduit road. She in-| 4isted on staying there “for her health, dlthough he wished her to live with him, he says. Later, when the house was closed in September, she came to live with him at fhe Montana Apartments, he declares. Referring to her charge that he refused to introduce her as his wife, Ely fhat she went to school at the Washing- ton School for Secretaries and was veglstered upon the books of the school 4s his wife, and that she dined in the dining room of the Montana Apartments as his wife. Ely declares that in three months nis wife spent $1,600. This, he says, wag more than his total income for the period. His wife asserted thatihe had an income of $550. Ely states that his salary was $225 per month, with an additional income of $25, making a monthly total of $250. His ife now asks §231 a month main- tenance, Ely states that as a result of his wife's “unwarranted and baseless ac- tion” he has lost his position as man- ager and treasurer of the School for retaries. He says that the board of directors of the school, while ex- pressing confidence in him and his in- tegrity, has passed a resolution asking for his resignation until the suit is disposed of. For this reason Ely ssked the court to make as hasty dis- position of the case as possible. The resolution passed by the board atates that “the officers and directors of the company have full faith and Gonfidence in Mr. Ely and the justness 4f his positlon.” A copy of the reso- Jution has been posted on the school's bulletin board. His wife's charge that forced to live in a shack, Ely de- dlared today, was ridiculous. He de- seribed the house where she stayed, mailing adderss 4899 Conduit road, as grovided with all conveniences, dcreened-in sleeping porches, a draw- $hg room, electricity, gas and other dhodern equipment.
