Mrs. Helen Porumbeanu, 33, divorced wife of Andre Porumbeanu, was quoted by the New York Daily News tonight as saying the family of heiress Gamble Benedict reneged on a financial promise to her. Porumbeanu, who received a Mexican divorce, married Gamble this week despite opposition from her grandmother, Mrs. Katherine Benedict of New York. His former wife said she had been promised $1,000 to $5,000 to try to block the divorce in order to keep Porumbeanu from marrying the 19-year-old heiress. This photo was made by New York Daily News photographer Hy Rothman in New York late last night.

Photo is dated 1960.
