Pat Lynch (center) and Mr*. C. L Corbett were part of a Women’s
Auxiliary croup which (topped to chat with Joyce. They were quick
to admire the maisive jigsaw puzzles she has worked. Joyce and
other patients will profit from a magazine exchange and other set*

GUY GETS "STARVATION" SENTENCE
Rich Wife Gets $35
Of His $55 A Week
NEW YORK (W — A restaurant cashier today faced
the staggering financial problem of living on $20 a week
and contributing the remaining $35 of his take-home pay
to his wealthy wife who is living in luxury in a $186-a
month apartment.
Sol Randall. 37, the cashier, said he became enmeshed
in the problem in the first place because he didn’t mak$
enough money to satisfy his wife.
He said she cost too much.
But his wife, Yolaine Randll, a 26 - year - old fashion
model and the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer, said
she wouldn’t live with Sol under any circumstances.
“There is no possibility of a reconciliation,” she said.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Goold handed the star
vation sentence to Randall. He granted Yolaine a legal
separation, custody of the couple’s child, Robin Sue, 3,
child support of $25 a week, and $10 a week for Yolaine’s
maintenance.
- CAN VISIT CHILD
Goold said it was all right for Randall to visit his
child.
i Randall testified yesterday that he married the strid
ing brunette beauty in Miami Beach on October 24, 1950,
while she was a senior in college.
\ For almost six years Sol and Yolaine had a blissful
wedded life. He became a caterer and part owner of a
midtown restaaurant. She became a model at $90 a week.
Yolaine’s father, Murray Gross, a retired brasssiere
manufacturer, helped out. He saw to it the couple moved
into the plush Century Apartments on Central Park West.
When Randall’s fortunes ebbed Gross helped pay the
rent. He even shelled out $40,000 to furnish the apart
ment for his daughter and son-in-law.
But Randall’s financial difficulties became worse. On
June 12 the marriage broke up.
When Gold handed down the decrees Randall was liv
ing in a low rent flat. Yolaine was still living at the Cen
tury. She §aid she would stay there.

paid holiday each year, better work
load protection, posting of daily
wage earnings, an increase in hos
pital insurance protection, anj an
adjustment in wages for several
