Churchill Plea for United States Aid Marks War Speech
An editorial critiques Winston Churchill for seeking continued British leadership while heavily banking on American aid. It questions his strategy, questions whether he bears full responsibility for war plans, and warns Americans about overreliance as the war drags on. The piece cites April 29 remarks and contrasts them with past tactical choices, accusing Churchill of seeking confidence votes and conveying a stubborn course. It references press dispatches noting false promises from allied leaders and urges vigilance about foreign policy dependences as WWII risks mount.

Marital Dispute Over Husband Rental Fee Aired
In Los Angeles a contentious case unfolds in probate court as Suhel Brimmel testifies about a years long rental scheme with his two marriages. He alleges his second wife Nora Brimmel paid 10 000 to his first wife Lillian Brimmel under an agreement affecting support and divorce status. The proceedings reveal multiple marriages and disputed payments totaling 10 080, with Brimmel seeking divorce and custody while parties dispute the legality of the arrangements and the implied disbandment. The judge contends the alleged divorce may be invalid and the case hinges on which marriages were legally in effect at the time.
