Shirley Temple Almost in Tears
As Judge Grants Her Divorce
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Dec. 6 u.R) Shirley Temple, wearing a chic gray
wool suit and a. miserable expression, won a divorce in 30
minutes flat Monday by testifying her actor-husband John Agar
"hugged and kissed" another woman in her presence and went
out with other girls while she was expecting a baby.
was sickening," the 21
"It
year-old movie queen told Judge
Ray Hcrndon.
"When I was five months
pregnant he came home with a
group of people, brought another
girl into my bedroom, and asked
me to go to a party with them.
I didn't feel too well, so he left
without me and didn't come
back till 4 a.m."
Pale and almost on the verge
of tears, Shirley said she and
Agar began having difficulties
five months after their story
book marriage.
"He started out by not coming
home for dinner," she said. "I
prepared it for him and waited
and waited. But he never call
ed. And when he came in, he
refused to tell me where he had
been.
"When I was two months
pregnant he came home intoxi
cated at 2 a.m. He had lipstick
on his face.
"Another night he came home
drunk and called me names. He
was so belligerent I drove to
my doctor's house. My doctor
was so worried about me he
followed me home.
"I tried to go out with Jack
as much as possible, but I
didn't feel too much like going
out.
"Once after the baby was born
he brought another girl with
him and danced with her in our
playroom for two hours, kissing
her many times."
Shirley's witness, Mrs. Sidney
Franklin, Jr., said Agar once
told her:
"You can't have any fun with
Shirley. She never gets drunk.
I'm going out."
"He came home several hours
later," Mrs, Franklin testified
Bed-Ridden High School Boy
Hopes for Lots of Xmas Cards
Metaline, Wash., Dec. 8 U.B Ronald Livingston, 16, has a
modest request for Christmas. All he wants is Christmas cards.
It's particularly small when you consider Ronald is paralyzed
and has been bed-ridden for the past 16 months.
But his mother, Mrs. Andrew Livingston, says her boy can
hardly wait lor the Christmas"-
season to get in full swing so he
can read the cards which come
in the mail.
"Ronald spends all his days
reading . . . mostly history . . .
and listening to the radio," Mrs.
Livingston says.
'He loves to get mail. All our
relatives and friends have been
very nice about sending him let
ters. We try to save them so he
has at least one every day."
Pretty tame for a six-footer
who was elected vice president
of his class as a freshman in high
school and played important
roles in class plays.
But he keeps wonderfully
cheerful," says his mother. "We
have Ronald's tree up in his
room already. It's very beautiful
and he's so happy looking for
ward to Christmas.
"He has a malignancy of the
spine and isn't expected to live
to see another Christmas. But
he doesn't know that.
"So we hope so much this will
be a happy and merry one for
him."
Postal Receipts Mount
Albany Postal receipts for
November topped receipts for
the same period last year by
more than. $1000, Postmaster
Tom Palmer indicated. Stamps
sold totaled $10,954 last month,
as compared with $9905.77 the
year before. Palmer said.
"He was very drunk and belli
gerent. He and Shirley went
upstairs and had an argument.
Then he went out and Shirley
was crying. We found mm pass
ed out in the driveway."
Mrs. Franklin, a school chum
of Shirley's at the swank West-
lake school for girls, said she
had seen Agar kiss another girl
in bhirley s presence.
Judge Herndon approved a
property settlement giving Shir
ley custody of her 21-month-old
daughter, Linda Susan, and pro
viding Agar's share of communi
ty property be set up in a trust
fund for the little girl.
Shirley asked no alimony.

Soft Security
Bad As Bombs
Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 6
Russia will conquer the world
without atom bombs if the Amer
ican people continue to look to
the federal government for hand
outs, the nation's foremost scien
tific administrator warned today.
The statement came from Dr.
Vannevar Bush at a Massachu
setts Institute of Technology con
vocation. He said the Russian
dictatorship "would destroy us
if opportunity offered."
This threat, Bush said, cannot
be met "if we turn this country
into a wishy-washy imitation of
totalitarianism, where every
man's hand is out for Pablum,
and virile creativeness has giv
en place to the patronizing favor
of swollen bureaucracy."
"A people bent on a soft se
curity, surrendering their birth
right of individual self-reliance
for favors, voting themselves in
to Eden from a supposedly inex
haustible public purse, support
ing everyone by soaking a fast
disappearing rich . . . will not
measure up to competition with
a tough dictatorship." he said.

Couple of Cops, Neighbors
Fix Home for Sick Child, 73
Los Angeles, Dec. 6 U.R Bedridden 13-year-old Rosemary
Gentry had a brand new home today, thanks to a couple of
cops and a host of generous neighbors.
The tiny multiple sclerosis victim, in a plaster cast since last
July, smiled with joyous surprise as she was carried across the
threshold of the brightly -fur
nished little house in suburban
Pacoima.
"I'm- a lucky girl," Rosemary
beamed as well-wishers crowd
ed into the house with gifts of
groceries, canned preserves,
blankets, sheets, pots and pans,
candy fruit and even a vacuum
cleaner.
"I've got everything I want for
Christmas. Ana maybe by then
I'll be able to walk again."
.
Motorcycle Officer John P.
Grant, fainer of three young
girls, found the child and her
unemployed mother, Mrs. Nel
lie Gentry, living in squalor two
weeks ago. Their shack had no
windows, doors, lights or sani
tary facilities, and they depend
ed on the county for necessities.
Grant contacted an old navy
buddy. Officer John Olsen, and
the two set out to repair the
shack in their spare time.
But news of Rosemary's plight
spread.
Unions and construction firms
donated their services and ma
terials. Scores of carpenters,
plumbers and painters started
working free. Within two weeks
the shack was torn down and a
new house built and completely
furnished.
A nurse, Mrs. Linda Biggs
had Rosemary moved to a sani-

thought only windows and doors
