TENNIS EX-QUEEN MAY SEEK DECREE Helen Wills Moody, in Reno, | Plans to Divorce Social- ite Husband. P the Associated Press. RENO, Nev, July 13.—Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, onetime queen of the' tennis courts, was established at & resort near this divorce center today. | Her lawyer said she “may later on seek a divorce.” | The tennis star was married seven ! years ago to wealthy Frederick S.| Moody. jr., of San Francisco. | Attorney Robert M. Price of Reno, | whom she visited yesterday after her arrival, said “Mrs. Moody is living in Nevada and expects to be here for some time. All that I can say now is that she was at my office and consulted with me and she may later on seek a divorce.” The former women's tennis cham- pion of the world was less definite. She said she had established herself at Glenbrook, a Lake Tahoe resort, ' merely “to rest.” | Mrs. Moody's sister-in-law, Mrs. Corbitt Moody, said in San Francisco | that a divorce was contemplated “Yes, it's true” the sister-in-law | declared. “Helen has come to Nevada | to get a divorce.” Moody, socially prominent husband of the tennis player and fashion de- aigner, was on a holiday in Northern ' California The former Helen Wills and her husband were married in Berkeley, California., December 23, 1929. Their romance began on the French Riviera n 1926, when the tennis player was | in temporary retirement from court eompetition because of illness. Last vear Mrs. Moody announced #he would play in no more major tour- naments. Recently she discussed film work with Hollywood studio execu- tives. VALIDITY OF H. 0. L. C. | ATTACKED IN COURT E. C. Fletcher, Former Aide to| Attorney General, Charges Failure to Incorporate. Validity of the entire set-up of the Home Owners' Loan Corp. was at-| tacked before Police Court Judge | Walter J. Casey this afternoon by Edmund C. Fletcher, a former As- sistant to the Attornev General in the Harding and Coolidge adminis-| trations. | Fletcher is charged with forcible entry and detainer, the Government | eontending he refused to vacate prop- erty in the 4100 block of Military road shortly after he had purchased it and before the H. O. L. C. foreclosed a mortgage. | Fletcher's attorney, Francis J. O'Leary, stated that the attack on | the H. O. L. C. will be based on the grounds that that body. while au- | thorized by Congress, has never been actually incorporated either in the District of Columbia or any of the Btates. Congress merely authorized | a board which was to form a corpora- tion known as the Home Owners’ Loan | Corp., but the board has never in- corporated the body. The trial was in the nature of a test case and created considerable intereet among Government officials. It is not known whether the case will | be completed today. REALTY CONTROL ~ | BILL BEFORE SENATE Passed yesterdav by the House, ' a bill providing for regulation and rontrol of real estate brokers and salesmen in the District today was be- fore the Senate. Another bill. which would control and regulate barber shops. was not called up by Chairman Palmisano of the District Committee during con- tideration of the District calendar. There was no debate on the real es- tate bill. The measure had been on | the House calendar for more than a month. It gives the Commissioners authority to create a special commis- sion that would examine and license persons desiring to engage in the real estate business. The barber bill, which also has been an the calendar for some time, cannot be considered before July 26, the next District day in the House.

Lewis asked city, county and State employes today to join the C. I. O. but told them they could not | strike or picket. He turned details of the organiza- | tion campaign over to Abram Flaxer of New York, who, as executive vice president of the new union, has the job of enrolling 2,000,000 members | paving §1 a month dues. | | Headquarters will be opened here at 1627 K street.

Photo. i (Continued From First Page.) little debate, but the bill authorizing the Public Utilities Commission grad- ually to reduce .the number of taxi- cabs unexpectedly became a target of | an attack that ultimately spelled its | death by an 89 to 29 vote. It would have cut out about 1,500 cabs Rate Rise Fear Killed It. Opposition to the taxicab limitation bill was based primarily on the fear it would resuit in an increase in ex- isting zone rates. Debate on this measure, bitter at times, was climaxed with severe criticism of the utilities commission by Representative Dirk- sen, Republican. of Illinois, ranking minority member of the District Com- mittee | Dirksen charged the commission with “constantly favoring” the Capi- tal Transit Co. and said he had lost faith in it. “There ought to be a new commission,” he declared. The taxicab limitation bill, Dirksen told the House, wouid lead to a mo- nopoly in the transportation field, with the transit company and two or three | taxicab organizations in complete con- trol. | Dirksen was supported by Repre- sentative O'Connor, Democrat, of New York, who declared the bill was “‘con- | trary to the principles of American life” because it sought to dictate to a citizen the type of business he should | not engage in. O’Connor said he did not agree with those who contend there are too many | taxicabs in Washington. It's not the | cabs that constitute a public nuisance, | he declared, but the thousands of au- tomobiles parked on the streets all day and all night in violation of regu- | lations which are not enforced. Serious Disaster Feared. “Some day.” he warned, “there is | going to be a serious disaster in the | District due to the failure of the | to enforce the parking | regulations.” | The compulsory insurance bill was passed in the face of a prediction by | Representative Schulte, Democrat, of | Indiana that it would result in at least a 10-cent increase in existing zone rates. The insurance, he told the House, will cost the taxi operators | at least $325 a year per cab—a fee that | would ruin them financially unless | rates are raised. | As the bill left the House it rarrirdi an amendment offered by Schuite | | which would permit cab organizations | to file a $75.000 cash bond with the | Utilities Commission in lieu of an in- | surance policy. The bond would have | to be maintained at that figure at all times. BAND BLOOD DONORS ST.

Residents of the Hawaiian Islands want 25 members of Congress to visit the “mid-Pacific Territory this Fall to | determine its fitness for statehood. Delegate Samuel W. King of Hawaii asked the House yesterday to authorize the inspection trip. He expressed cer- tainty it would be approved. The party would be composed of Senators and Representatives serving on committees concerned with terri- | torial affairs. “We are better prepared for state- hood than were many of the States when they gained that distinction,” said King. “‘We are one of the most progressive communities on the globe. Our 400,- 000 population is greater than that of Vermont, Wyoming, Delaware or Ne- vada, and we pay more to support the Federal Government than any one of 17 States, “Our people have been intensely loyal Americans ever since we were voluntarily annexed to the United States in 1898." Legislators opposed to adding a forty-ninth star to the flag contend States should be limited to the North American mainland They point out that 2,400 miles of ocean separate Honolulu and Califor- nia. A House subcommittee visited the islands in 1935, held extensive hear- ings and afterward two of the five members voted to recommend a state- hood bill. The other three favored further study.
