by JOHN

Unted Press staff Correspondent
MoSCOw.-By Mall to United
PressS"Russia Is not only an
asylum for political f~ugitives. but
can also become n refuge for Ameri-
can and other married foreigners
whom the bourgeois laws of their
country prevent getting divorced
A. B. Hochberg. president of the
Little S~ovnarcom and head of the
committee for the revision of the
family laws. made this statement to
the United Press in an exclusive
interview.
with us there is no such thing
as a divorce scandal. like in Amer
lea where many Couples. fearing
pub Hcity. hesitate to apply for n
divarce. even IL both agree to
separate" Hoehberg continued.
"Tais is a free country in every
respeet and any foreigner car get a
divorce here If both parties appear
before the marriage bureau they get
a divorce within five TO ten minutes.
IL one party comes alone It takes
two month"; because the court has
to inform the other party either by
letter or through an official publica-
ton in tho Russian press. unless
the applicant is able to produce a
letter from the other party. legally
stamped by an attorney. declaring
his or her consent, in which case
the whole affair takes only three
days.
'If. however. the outside world
assumes that owing to the facility
in getting divorced. the Russian
people plunge Into marriage. know
ing they can easily separate. it Is
greatly mistaken. The number of
divorces amount TO only between
5 and 10 per cent for all Russia.
compared to the number OF mar
rlsges.
The Other Side.
"On the contrary. the knowledge
that the husband or the wife can
easily obtain a divorce any moment
compels both parties to be more
careful and considerate, Marriages
in general have become more sane"
Compared to pre-war times, the
number of marriages has greatly
increased. Against $50, 1000 marriages
per year before the war, the num-
Der now is over q million. The
total figure for the year OF 1929
was 1,027.91o marriages to IS 1886
divorces.
The proposal to abolish all regis
tration Of marriages has not met
with the approval Of the majority Of
the population.

Danville, Feb. "a bond IS

has been in course of development
in recent months. The matter
has been in the hands of a COM
mittee for some time and the full
board will meet tomorrow TO
ratify the plan in order that 1t
may be presented to the city
council. Members of the board
say that adoption of the bond
issue pan by the board is vlr-
tually certain.
If the Council orders the bord
election the people of this COM
munity will vote on it in the
spring, when another bond-issue
proposal for the extension of the
Icity's sewer system vii! be voted
on. Danville is we'll within its
bonded limit at present. That
limit is S3,6O0,OO0 with $780,

present time.
Under tentative plans drown up

committee, the money would be
spent in adding wings to school
buildings now standing and would
mot provide for a new school
HOUSE. A good part of the sum
would be devoted to the develop
ment of the colored schools, which
liz the opinion of some members
of the board, have been neglected
Danville's growing school popu-
llation has exceeded the facilities
considerably and many children
today are unable to attend the
Public schools because of the lack

has resulted in many people pre-
ferrine to send their children
there instead of to private insti,
