THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €. FRIDAY, MAY' 24 1929.° : ;. GIVES PARIS' VIEWS ON DEBTS COURSE /|Envoy Sees No Objection to Law Permitting Delay in Collection. By the Associated Press. The French Ambassador officially in- formed the State Department today that his government had no objection |1 to adoption by Congress of legislation to permit postponement of the collec- || tion of the $400,000,000 war supplies debt August 1, in the event the French Parliament should ratify the Mellon- Berenger debt agreement before that || date. ‘Treasury officials recently pointed out || to” the Ambassador that should the || French ratify the agreement and the American Congress fail to do so the American Government still would be || forced to call for collection. The American officials assured the || Prench “Ambassador that if Premier || Poincare intended to press the ratifica~ || tion of the Mellon-Berenger agreement, || which includes the liquidation of the $400,000,000 obligation, legislation would be offered in Congress })ultponln' the collection of this part of the debt. It is expected the legislation, how- ever, will only provide for the post- ponement if the French actually ratify the complete agreement before August 1. ‘The Ambassador also indicated to the State Department that the Poincare | government hopes to press the ratifica- tion of the debt agreement before the first of August and thus eliminate the necessity of then paying the $400,000,- | 00o0. \HEFLIN SAYS CATHOLICS FILL 75 PCT.

KITTY COSTELLO FACING DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS || Undercover Dry Agent, Jailed for Contempt of Court, Charged by Husband With Desertion. Kitty Costello, the former Washington undercover dry agent decoy who served a 30-day sentence at the City Jail || recently on_ charges of contempt of || court, has been sued for divorce in Baltimore. ‘The suit for an absolute decree was filed yesterday in City Court by Roland ‘Wolf against Mrs. Esther W. Wolf. The latter was identified by dry agents as the woman who used the nom de plume of Kitty Costello while working for the prohibition unit in Washington and Wolf charges desertion three years ago, and asks for custody of three children. Kitty first came into prominence || here through her prohibition work in night clubs and roadhouses, where she was able to gain entrance when male || agents failed. She attended the various || cabarets with male agents brought from other cities. The “buys” she made in this fashion resulted in raids later. She was sought in Washington as a witness in a dry law case being tried in She ignored the summons and was arraigned and sen- || tenced on the contempt charge by || Judge Coleman. 133,000,000 LBS.
