PAGiJ SIX fEBFOBD MAIL TftTBUXE, MEDFQRD, OREGON, SUNT) AY. OCTOBER 3. 1937 LETTERS REVEAL PUGILIST DOYLE CONG. PIERCE HIT LOfl ANGELES, Oct. 9. UP) Thst 3,000.000 love theft ault filed by film actress Jullth Allen lit "silly, preposterous and absolutely without foundation," In the opinion of Mn. Delphlne Dodge Cromwell Baker Oodde, at whom It la aimed. Jack Doyle, cufly haired, Uniting prfne fighter, upon whose love Ml Allen put the seven-figured value, Is "most distressed." "But It won't make any difference In the plana of my fiancee and my self," said Doyle, who affected a flowered green robe, red muffler, house slippers and pipe. "We'll be married In April, 1038." That will be after his divorce from the actress becomes final and Mrs. , Goods obtains a planned one In England. "Delphlne la wealthy, of course," he continued, "sometimes I wish she wers not. But I have 2 5. 000 from the King Levlnsky right." Miss Allen, who had accused Mrs. Codde of ahowerlng Doyle with ex pensive glfta and promising him a life of ease, mid: "During out two years of marriage. t sold all my valuables and spent all of my salary to support him. He 'wrote me many letters while away, pleading for a reconciliation and vowing his love. But I doubted his sincerity. "I only filed the divorce suit to shock him Into appreciation of what he was doing to me." She offered telegrams and letters to support her contention that Doyle had sought a reconciliation until he met Mrs. Codde. One from Windsor. Eng., said: "I went Into that ring with a heart of stone. I'm ashamed of myself for the wrong I have done you ... but when you think I have suffered en ough I shall be glad to hold you In my arms again. X miss your little blue eyes so much." Doyle said "Judith spurned me and X became bitter until that eventful day when I first saw Delphlne," he explained. "It was love at first sight. We knew Instantly we were meant for each other. Besides, we had a mu tual Interest In the finer things of life, such as books and music." A telegram to Miss Allen from Doyle In Albuquerque, N.M., said: "Shooting straight from now on. Love you more tomorrow than today. Anyhow whatever you do I lovo and love, love, love, love, love, lova, love, love." - THE DALLES, Oct. 3. P)W. D. B. Dodson, executive vice-president of the Portland chamber of commerce, In an address before the Klwanls club here urging people to disregard "damned demagogues" on Bonneville dam policies, attacked Rep. Walter M. Pierce, La Grande, for his asserted support to J. D. Ross a dam power administrator. Dodson said "there Isn't any doubt In my mind that Ross Is the man who Is going to be named" to administer Bonneville power. Ross is manager of the Seattle municipal light plant. "What burns me up Is that the congressman from your own district. the Honorable Walter M. Pierce, has not only done his utmost to support the appointment of Ross but even wished to throw the army .engineers out of control at Bonneville dam," said Dodson, who has favored appoint ment of an Oregon man. "If there Is any element of grat itude and appreciation for what this mngnlflcent body of engineers has done, we ought to show It and not be diverted when some demngogue gets 'overhet' about some political folderol." Dodson condemned "wide dlatrlbu tlon" of Bonneville power to private consumers, saying It could be mark eted In five years If rates are. made attractive to Industries, otherwise "some Utopian plan for wide distri bution" will put the dam down In history as another failure of public ownership. Dodson did not name President Roosevelt In his remarks. At Bonne ville last Tuesday, the president urged a wide distribution of power.
