HOLLIS DIVORCE
| ILLEGAL, SAYS
bULGAR ENVOY
Cites Rigid Greek Church Law
To Disprove Ex-Senator's
Claim.
BY Universal Services.

Notwithstanding that former Sen
ator Henry Hollis declares he was
divorced in Bulgaria. and that Sen-
ator Robert L. Owen says he saw
the papers, the Bulgarian minister
to the United States declares II could
not have happened legally.
Stephen Panaretoff. the minister
who knows the former New Hamp-
shire Senator personally, asserts
divorces In Bulgaria are granted
only by the Greek Catholic Church
to its communicates married by
the church. He said:
There is no way in which Sena-
tor Hollis could have received q
divorce in Sofia or in any other
part of Bulgaria, and cannot un-
derstand his claim 10 having been
divorced there.
IT understand that Senator Hol-
lis claims his was an ecclesiastical
divorce. That could not be, for
divorces are granted by the Greek
Catholic Church only to its COM
municants who have been married
by the church. am not informed
that Senator Hollis was 30 married
to his first wife,
Senator Owen Of Oklahoma, who
witnessed Hollis second marriage
In Rome recently, reiterated In
Washington that he had seen the
divorce papers. He said:
1T was an ecclesiastical divorce.
l saw papers which had been duly
signed by court judges" 81
Ecclesiastical divorce trials are con-
Quoted SO strictly in accordance with
church laws that civil attorneys
are not allowed to plead before
the church tribunal, according to
Panaretoff.
Foreign dispatches report incom-
patibility of temperament as the
grounds on which the Hollis divorce
was granted. Regarding this, Pana-
retoff said:
Divorces are not granted by IT,
Greek Catholic Church for incom-
patibility of temperament. but only
for major causes"

NEW YORK, March 3l.-Accused
of having removed the beds upon

not paid the rent, a colored janitor
Robert Washington, was fined 500
in West Side court.
Magistrate Levine expressed re-

The father, John G.. Edmondson,

Government compensation. For
three months now, he added. the
Government had not paid him, so

Lincoln Whitaker Declares
Prices Are Exorbitant--At-
tacks Car System.

Washington is a city of paper
boxes" and uninhabitable homes,
in the opinion of Lincoln Whitaker,
housing engineer of New York City,
who appeared before members Of the
citizens housing committee at the
request of Senator King.
Builders are putting up hundreds
Of houses in the Capital City that
are mere paper boxes. They are
being sold as rapidly as they are
erected at exorbitant prices" Mr..
Whitaker declared. IT don't under
stand how these builders are able to
get by the District building inspec-
tor"
Mr.. Whitaker advocates Federal
corporation similar to the War
Finance Corporation which would
make loans to persons having houses
which need improvements.
Hundreds of houses. some of them
stores, in the downtown section Of
Washington could be made habitable
II financial aid were given" Mr..
Whitaker said.
Mr.. Whitaker holds that the
greatest need in this community is
the development of residence sections
in the eastern part of the District,
principally in the vicinity of Con-
grcss Heights.
He attacked the street railway sys-
TENS of Washington, asserting that
they had aided in preventing down.
town development because develop
ment there would mean less sub
urban development and less car rides
"It In ahaurd To have two car lipes
here" he added. Thousands Of
visitors find the street car situation
20 complex that they are unable to
tour the city without endless con-
fusion. Congress should force a
merger"
Mr.. Whitaker will ask permission
to outline his plans before the proper
subcommittee of the general housing
committee.

TOO MUCH POLITICS

Whatever merits may have been posses
ed by the so-called Dyer anti-lynching bill,
its death il the Senate was no surprise.
The measure was doomed from the day
of its introduction and it is doubtful if
its proponents, although they were in a
position to expect a majority, ever ex-
pected it to become law.
Many of those who voted for the pro-
posal in the House expressed grave doubts
as to it's constitutionality and graver
doubts as to whether it was practicable.
Yet they were willing to pass the respon~
sibility to the Senate, the President, the
Supreme Court or the law enforcement
agencies, rather than chance the loss of
votes which might result from voting
their convictions.
The bill met its death through the
agency of a democratic filibuster, and an
agreement among republican leaders who
found their views of the legal and politi-
cal ACCESSIBILITY of the bill in conflict,
were more than willing to let it die rather
than face a record vote on it,"

WISDOM FROM AFFAIR

Nowhere have we noticed the funda-
mental reason in back of Americas atti-
tude toward Europe so well set forth as
in so distant a neighbor, the Sidney
Morning Herald,
Specifically referring to the war debts,
the Morning Herald says: 'No doubt if
she could see her way to remit those
debts the position of Europe would be
immensely improved. But can we fairly
expect her to do this without some as
surance of a quid pro quo, not in the
material sense, but in the shape of gen.
uine attempt to heal the antagonisms
which still distract Europe and to bring
an era of peace and stability"
This is an enlightened understanding of
American psychology which never has
seemed to penetrate European heads. 1t
states, from an unprecedented source, ex-
actly the value this country sets on the
foreign obligations to her and points out
the moral investment those debts repre-
sent.
What particularly gals Americans is
the thought that money owed to this
country and even interest owed on that
money, is used for selfish purposes which
eventually in every instance lead to hos
tilities, distress and impoverishment
which, in turn, appeal to the United
States for relief. The vast sums this
country has subscribed for aid to war
sufferers-often in wars with which Amer
lea had no concern, as in Anatolia-never
has been regarded as other than a moral
investment; nor is there any thought of
cent for cent return on the part of the
givers.
But so long as Europe shows no dis
position to economy, but adds monthly
to its destruction of resources by wars
which are neither in the cause of liberty
nor of self-defense, just so long this
country is bound to feel that the money
owed to it must remain as load which,
in time, must compel recognition,
thought-review of the disasters of de-
structive extravaganza, and new spirit
of self-help as the first step to liquidating
obligations.
