MWORK DENIESPLA "FOROIL MoNOPOLY 'Says South American Na- ‘tions Misinterpret Report of Federal Board. By the Associated Press. Declaring a report of the Federai ©Oil Board had been misinterpreted “in certain South American countries,” Secretary Work said today the board “did not contemplate nor Intend that anything would be done by American companies operating abroad to monop- olize or prejudice the oil production of any country.” A paragraph in a board report of September 26, 1926, covering general petroleum conditions contained thes? statements. 4 “The fields of Mexico and South America are of large vield and much promising_geological oil structure is as yet undrilled. That our companies should vigorously acquire and explore such fields is of first importance, not only as a source of future supply, but & supply under control of our citi- zens. Statement Held Misconstrued. That phase of the report “under control of our own citizens,” Mr. Work said apparently had been seized “asan argument in the advocacy of govern- mental control and operation of the petroleum industry in certain South American countries, but the propo- nents of such a policy have miscon- strued the import of the board's state- ment." The controlling thought in the minds of members of the board, the secretary continued, “was to urge our citizens to seek production abroad in order to better adjust ¢onditions of world supply and demand by supply- ing local markets of the several coun- tries from local sources instead of drawing on the supply from the United . States for that purpose, and, where petroleum can be found abroad in excess of the needs of the particu- lar country, for out citizens to partici- pate in its development in order that such excess as might be needed to sup- plement petroleum produced in the United States would be under control of our citizens. Calls Step Reciprocal. “It was assumed as obvious that all the needs of the Nation and of the people of any country where petro- Jeum might be found would have first call on such supply and only the ex- cess supnly would be exported under conditions defined by the laws of the country in question. “Under our own laws, foreign na- . tionals now own petroleum produc- tion in the United States and share in the benefits from petroleum pro- duced here, and it was deemed recip- rocal and proper that our citizens should be advised and encouraged by the board to seek in similar manner to develop available prospective sources of petroleum supply in for- eign countries—always subject to the prioritv needs of those countries.” “PROPHETESS OF DOOM” ADMITS ASSAULT CHARGE CONSTANCE TALMADGE TO SEEK SEPARATION, PAPER DECLARES Complaint to Be Free From Sensational Charges, Ac- tress Asserts. Lawyer Says Alimony Will Not Be Sought—Couple Good Friends. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGE July 8—The Ex- aminer says Constance Talmadge, film star, twice disappointed in for- eign marriages, will file suit for divorce soon against Capt. Alastair Mackintosh, formerly of the British army and a native of Scotland. In telling her plans for a divorce, Miss Talmadge sald she and her husband still were good friends and that her divorce complaint would contain no sensational charges. It will charge desertion, she said. Separated Since September. The decision of the screen star to dissolve the international marriage came as no surprise to friends, for she and her husband have been separated since last September. Miss Talmadge said she had engaged At- torney Milton M. Cohen of Los An- geles to represent her, while her hus- band had retained Sir Charles Rus- sell, English attorney, and Dudley Field Malone of Paris and New York. “My suit will be filed sometime in the near future,” said Miss Talmadge. “At first my husband’'s attorneys wanted the divorce to be brought in Paris because they thought it could be obtained quicker, but we decided against this.” Cohen declared that there would ATLANTA PAPER - DEAL CONFIRMED Clark Howell Sells Constitu- tion to Col.

By the Associated Press. LOS_ANGELES, July 8.—Mrs. Mar- garet Rowan, called the ‘“‘Prophetess of Doom™ after her prediction several years ago that the world would come to an end, yesterday pleaded guilty to assaulting Dr. B. E. Fullmer, a fellow minister. Dr. Fullmer charged that the re- ligious leader, with several col- leagues, sought to kill him because of church differences of several years’ standing. Mrs. Rowan asked for probation and July 28 was set for hearing of the application. The other defend- ants, Rev. J. F. Balzer and Miss Mary ‘Wade, a church secretary, also plead- ed guilty, and their pleas for proba- tion will be heard simultaneously with that of Mrs. Rowan.

Towner of Porto Rico received by the Insular Bureau said that more than a million dollars had been paid during the last fiscal year on Porto Rico's floating debt. The payment was virtually double that which it had been ex- pected would be possible during the year and reduced the floating debt to more $3,000,000.

As stated by Messrs. Lea and and Caldwell, my relations with the Constitution as editor and publisher, and that of my son, Clark Howell, jr., as business manager, will in nowise be affected.
