LINER DELAYED
TAX CLAIM ON MARLENE DIETRICH PRODUCTION OF JEWELLERY ENDS IMPASSE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright NEW YORK. June 14. The talkie star, Marlene Dietrich finally left, on a voyage to Europe today, but only after delaying the liner Normandie 40 minutes and posting jewellery valued at 100,000 dollars with United states revenue agents, who had refused a permit for sailing, claiming she owed 284,000 dollars in back income taxes. Miss Dietrich burst into tears during the interview and finally she dug out the jewellery from a trunk, dissolving the impasse, much to the relief of the Associate of the Supreme Court, Mr Justice Frankfurter. Countess Haugwitz Reventlow (Barbara Hutton) and the magnate Mr J. P. Morgan’s sister, Miss Anne Morgan, who also were sailing, fretted at the delay. The revenue agents contended that Miss Dietrich owed taxes due from a picture made in England, for the Iseleman Corporation in 1936-37. and they threatened to confiscate her luggage.
