Will Help Gould Testify In Divorce Case Amid Family Tensions
Miss Helen Miller Gould and her brothers George Edwin and Frank are set to testify for Howard Gould in a limited divorce suit filed by Katherine Clemmons Gould.

The Whiskers Incident aboard the Lagara ITE is cited as an example of Mrs Goulds temper, leading to a British consul inquiry and a later settlement.
