Both were di- vorced in Nevada last September. Butler Informs Press. A throng of reporters stood outside the ‘fron-grilled door while the wed- ding ceremony was in progress. They were apprised of what was going on by an obliging butler, who made fre- quent appearances at the entrance. Rev.

Already they have close to 10.000—10,000 families in the District who are destitute and in real need. By the end of this week, reports Miss | Mary Edith Coulson and Miss Louise A. Davidson, assistant secretary of the | Council of Social Agencies and chair- 5 man of the Christmas Committee, re- spectively, that number may be in- creased again by half at the rate calls are coming in. Letters of appeal come in from everywhere, and names of needy fam- ilies. Individuals who know of worthy cases, visiting nurses of the District and case workers of the Government's public assistance project are all fur- nishing outlets for the vast number of bundles to be distributed. From all points words of enthusiasm come for the campaign. Response Is Gratifying. Kenneth Berkeley, program man- ager of the National Broadcasting Co., said this morning that he never had such response to broadcasts as that which came from the last session over | the air—when a broadcast was staged from Toy Heaven Saturday night. So thrilled are the broadcasters that they are already making plans for next year's campaign—in the hope it will outdo the one just finished. Still, the campaign is hardly fin- ished. Toys are still coming to The Star office, brought in by those who missed the shows at the theaters. Letters in untold numbers were mailed to Santa Claus over the week end. All these were being sent to the Com- munity House, at 1101 M street north- west, to be answered on Christmas morning with presents. If there is one little boy or girl in the city who misses getting a present on Christmas morning, it will not be the fault of Santa Claus nor any of his helpers. Certainly nothing has been overlooked. The people of Wash- ington have been generous to the utmost. This is the conclusion of all workers in the campaign. It may be, of course, that there are not enough toys and clothing to go around—and this- cannot be de- termined until later in the week. If such a catastrophe should happen there will be great cause for grief. ‘That is why the workers at Toy Heaven are doing everything in their power to check every request. That is why these workers are willing to remain on the job until the gong sounds on Christmas eve. That is why Washingtonians are asked again to send along toys, as & last minute insurance against any little, boy or girl being without softie re- minder that Santa Claus is still alive— and thinking of his little poor friends. Saturday's movie attendance, Less than 10,000 attended the special shows help ‘'unwrap, rebundle and distribute the packages. The Boy Scouts of ‘Washington were pressed into service on Saturday to unwrap them. Volun- teers from the 54 private and 20 pub- lic organizations which comprise the Council of Social Agencies have pitched in to repackage the gifts that poured in. All day Saturday, and still going strong, these volunteers are counting and classifying the gifts that have come from whole-hearted citi- zens of Washington. And if the re- ports are accurate at all, it will be easily the end of the week before the job is all done. It is still not too late to send in the names of folks you know who may be lacking things for themselves and their children this Christmas. Get in touch with Mrs. Montgomery at Met- ropolitan 2284, and that’s all you have to do. The councll, co-operating with The Star, will take care of the rest. Toys and clothing will find their way to the spot you mention and—that’s another happy Christmas. CONFESSES ROBBERIES CAMDEN, N. J., December 16 (#).— Detective Lieut.
