BARBARA MOIVANI CLINGS T0 TITLE Despite Divorce Plans Ser- vants Instructed to Call Her “Princess.” By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, March 18.—Even though she has decided to cast off her prince- ly Luasband, Barbara Hutton Mdivani still wants to be called “princess.” Hotel servants were under strict orders today to cortinue to use the title, although she has announced she is going to speed to Reno as fast as she can. Hotel employes have been almost the only persons to have contact with Princess Barbara the last two days, during which the 5-and-10-cent store | heiress has remained in seclusion in | her suite. 1 Even her “kid cousin,” as she likes to call gangling, pink-cheeked Jimmy | Donahue, went off on vursuits of his | own late last night, remaining out on a party until the wee hours of this | morning. Princess Holds Money. In announcing her divorce plans, Princess Barbara insisted her prince was not going to get a nickel of the Woolworth fortune, to which she is heiress. She said her husband is en- tirely satisfied to go back to his job as an attache of the Georgian Lega- | tion in Paris. | “It has been mutually agreed,” she said, “that there is not going to be any compensation.” She issued a written statement last night in which she explained “Alex and I decided we were no longer suited to one another.” In an earlier interview she appeared 8 bit uncertain as to the exact reason for their parting, suggesting the grounds for divorce would be “incom- patability” but at the same time deny- ing hers and Alex's interests in life differed. Mistreatment Denied. Young Donahue, who disclosed that & trans-Atlantic telephone call from his mother in Florida was a factor in persuading his cousin to make public her divorce plans, emphatically denied that Prince Mdivani had mistreated his wealthy wife. “Everybody has been saying,” he volunteered, “that they had knock- down and drag-out fights, but, of course that isn't true at all. “Everybody seems to think the prince is the sort of person who is very violent, but he is really the sweet- est boy in the world.” Explaining he is a “friend of both sides,” young Donahue corroborated his cousin’s statement that there would be no financial settlement and also denied published reports that the prince has been getting $50,000 an- nually since the marriage. Budget Is Mystery. “There never has been anything like an allowance,” he said, “but, of course, I can't say how they worked out their budget.” As the princess was issuing her di- | Vorce announcement, one London newspaper published a couplet of her poetry reading, “I will not grieve though we may part, for you have now become my pearl.” Asked what sort of poetry she is now writing, the young heiress said: “I don't know really, but it rhymes.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. | UPPER MARLBORO, Md., March | 18 —Formulation of proposals for town liquor referendums in Prince Georges County has focused attention on the provision of the present law requiring complaints against renewal of licenses to be filed in writing 30 days before their expiration, accorde ing to Liquor Commissioner William H.

Wasteful and Inefficient. “I have charged repeatedly that the relief program in Ohio is very waste- ful, inefficient and many times inhu- man. These are the charges that you seek to cvade. You might have found & more decent and manly way to evade the issues, and not resort to blackening the name of an innocent man. I repeat these charges, Mr. Hopkins, Your administration of re- lief is wasteful. It is inefficient. It is many times inhuman. I will go further this time and charge that to a large extent it is a violation of the most sacred right of American citi- zens; that is, the inviolability ot pri- vate family affairs. This is done through your professional young case workers, who have become a pack of inquisitors, going to the homes of their victims with a grocery order in one hand and their inexcusable intru- sion into the private affairs of help- less people in the other. “So—come to Ohio if you dare and show that you are a man, or turn and run like a coward and confess your contemptible character.” HOPKINS IS SILENT. ing fountain in Community Hall. left eye, are the latest in Paris.
