You have asked me the legal defni-
ton OF a divorce. Speaking in gem
eral way, IL Is the dissolution Of the
matrimonial bonds existing between hus

marriage there could be no divorce, even
though the presumed husband and pre-
sumed wife maintain toward each other
the apparent relation Of husband and
wife. IL the marriage was a yoidable

which has turned out SO many history
making documents in the last four years.
It was still undetermined today
whether the President viii attempt 70

dition, It was said. IS So much improved
that It will be possible for him 10 take

Secretary Of State Colby has been al
most a daily visitor TO the White House
postponing his departure for South
America several times that he might be
at the Presidents call
One problem which it is considered Ger
tain will be taken up At length In the
Presidents message is that Of taxation.
It is expected in Washington that he
will make some concrete suggestions for
relief measures, at least for a more
equitable distribution Of the burden. II
is also believed that he viii urge the re-
peal OF the excess profits tax.
