ficer $12,000 In Court
Ruling
MANCHESTER, Eng., June 30.
—(U.R)—A United States army ma
jor today was ordered to pay $12,
000 damages and costs for abus
ing an Englishman’s haspitality by

A1 Amundson’s conduct “extreme
ly reprehensible,” awarded Philip
Shelmerdtne, 37. $12,000, a devorce
decree nisi and custody of two
children.
Judge Bait said he eould tell just
by looking at beautiful Rita Shel
merdine, 34, that -Amundson must
have paid her “deliberate and
long” attentions before achieving
his aims.
“The correspondent comes fo
England, is introduced to this ex
tremely attractive young woman
and, being given the hospitality
of a house maintained by her
husband, eventually seduces her,”
the judge said.
“I 5m satisfied that he found
someone who was prepared to
flirt rather dangerously and no
thing more. I think his conduct
was extremely reprehensible.”
Amundson; whij was not in court,
maintained in his formal answer
that he did not know Mrs. Shei
meraine was married.

ITALIANS NEED
MORE DOLLARS
Wheat Shortage Far Be
low That First Anticipa
ted, Says Premier
ROME, Italy, June 30. —(U.R)—
Premier Alcide De Gasperi told
the Italian people tonight that he
had intended to appeal to farmers
to surrender their wheat to save
city dwellers from hunger in his
address at Venice yesterday.
Leftist demonstrators broke
through a cordon of police and
clashed with Christian democrat
supporters, forcing cancellation of
the premier’s address to a youth
rally in San Marco square in Ven
ice.
De Gaspen, speaking for 10
minutes on a nation-wide hookup,
avoided any recriminations as po
litical feelings rose to fever pitch
following the riot in which 50 per
sons were injured. Police broke
up the battle with tear gas and
arrested 30 persons.
He said that the 1947 wheat har
vest would amount to 500,000 tons
as compared with 620,000 tons in
1946, necessitating the import of
300,000 tons instead of 180,000 tons
as expected and the consequent
need for “many more dollars.”
