Over Republican protests against “railroading” vital legislation, the Democratic leadership had shown its determination to end the tax hearings on the House side yesterday, even if it took until midnight to do it.

FORECLOSURE FACED BY MRS. BOETTIGER Suit Is Filed Against Estate of President's Daughter and Former Husband. By the Associated Press. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., July 13.— A foreclosure suit against Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Boettiger, President Roose- velt’s daughter, was filed in Supreme Court today. The foreclosure notice was filed against the estate occupied by Mrs. Boettiger and Curtis B. Dall, her first husband. The property is in Ossining, Mount Pleasant and Briarcliff Manor. The suit was brought by Louis H. Pink, State superintendent of insur- ance, as liquidator of the Westchester Title & Trust Co. Dall and two ciher persons were named co-defendants. Pink charged that Mrs. Boettiger and Dall borrowed $65,000, giving as security a mortgage on the property, and that they have been in default on interest since June 1, 1934.

The widow and four small children of Sterling Calhoun, jobless colored laborer who became a public hero when he sacrificed his life for two drowning childrea, are assured shelter, food and clothing through the gener- osity of sympathetic citizens. Calhoun will be given a proper funeral today with funds provided by men, women and children of both races, who made spontaneous contri- butions when they learned that his body was destined for potter’s field and that his family was in dire need. More than $600 had been collected from sundry sources last night as sym- pathizers continued to send donations to The Star, the Daily News and other receiving centers.

A list of ad- ditional contributions is printed in an- other column. ‘The Salvation Army was asked to undertake the mission of mercy be- cause of its long experience in family rellef work, coupled with the esteem in which it is held by members of both races.

Waley recently pleaded guilty to | similar charges and was sentenced to | 45 years in prison. Pictured as Gangster “Moll.” Assistant United States Attorney Owen P. Hughes, in his summation, pictured the blond Mrs. Waley as a cold-blooded gangster “moll.” John F.
