FRANCE PLACES
SEVEN LAWYERS
BEFORE COURTS
Accused Charged With.
Aiding Rich Americans
to Get Easy Divorces.
by United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, July 21.-Seven French
lawyers were tried today before a
high court commission, charged with
conniving at Irregularities in the
presentation of American divorce
suits.
One lawyer was recommended for
dismissal from the bar, four for sus-
pension and two for warnings as to
their future conduct.
The lawyers placed on trial were
Maitres Moreau, who was recon-
mended for dismissal; lie Grande,
Teuel, Prestat, and Nouel, who were
recommended for suspension and
Burkhardt and Fichot, who, the
court said, should be warned.
1t will be left to the Bar associa-
tion to effect the court s recommen-
dation. Moreau was charged with
having been concerned in 40 irreg-
ular divorces and Fichot in II.
In attempting to justify the man
ner in which divorces of Americans
were presented, the defendants cit
ed the names of leading American
divorce lawyers here as having Civ
en- them the cases, including Benja-
min Connor, president of the Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce, Dudley
Field Malone and Charles Loeb,
vice president of the chamber. Am
erican lawyers are not allowed to
plead before French courts and
must give their cases to Frenchmen
to plead.
Judge Wattine, who presided be-
fore the French chamber tribunal as
the court was termed, asserted that
only 10 of 176 American divorces
granted in Paris in 1927 were in ac-
cordance with rules.
An American real estate agency,
Judge Wattine said, maintained a
series of furnished flats which they
rented only to Americans seeking
divorces. Therefore, he added, many
petitions bore the same living ad
dress.

Street Clothes
Or Bathing Suits
Is Big Question

Bathing suits or street clothes
that was the question.
Fourteen of the girls entered in
the "Miss FL Centro' contest, met
at the Airdome last night to decide
upon rules for the contest and the
subject of clothes was the first TAX
en- up. Exercising a woman's pre-
rogative, the gals promptly divided
$3.50, half deciding upon stree.
clothes and half upon bathing suits.
"What in heck can a mere man
do about it, said Fred Nebel-T -Thau,
chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce committee sponsoring the
event. eve would like to have
them all dressed similarly, but far
be it from me to try to lay down
the law to one woman to say moth
ing of fourteen
Somebody was bright enough to
point out that nowadays there is not
much difference between bathing
suits and gals street clothes in I'M
perial Valley at this time of the
year. The difference in costume
will also permit the audience at the
Airdome next Tuesday night to get
in ON the rgument-street clothes
or bathing suits, take you choice.
Two more entries We're received
today, Miss Helen Palmer to be
"Miss Chiropractic' and Miss Bon
ME Braese, Miss Tyler Insur-
ance.
That makes a total of II and a
few more are expected by Monday.
The winner will be crowned miss
FL Ccntro' and will represent this
city at the Mission Beach contest
on Sunday, July %, when the
"Queen of the Desert will be
chosen. She will have all expenses
paid TO San Diego and will also re-
ceive gold wrist watch donated by
the Berger Jewelry company. The
runner-up will be given an order for
one dozen photographs by Hetzel,
the photographer.
Tuesday evening, prior to the con-
test, the entries will parade through
the city, giving all an opportunity
to see them and prepare themselves
for voting at the contest in the Air
dome.

RUSSIAN FLYER
Chukhnovsky Asserts He
Saw Three Men on Ice
Floe During Flight.
By AIS ANDERSON

KINGS BAY, Spit2bergen, July
2l.-The Soviet aviator Chukhnov-
sky who first sighted Captains
Adalberto Mariana and Filippo Zap
pi and directed the Krassin to their
rescue, in an interview today said
he was greatly surprised when he
learned Professor Finn Malmgren
also had not been rescued.
He said he and his five aides felt
certain they saw three men on the
ice flOe when their plane first pass
ed over the little group.
When we espied the Malmgren
group on the ice floe we were con-
WINGED we saw three persons, the
first standing erect, the second bow
ing and the third lying down, y
Chukhnovsky said.
"All three were tied together
with ropes to prevent their slipping
off the ice floe, which was only 90
square meters, surrounded by open
water. We were greatly surprised
on learning that only two were res
cued.
at is possible we mistook bun
die of garments for a third person.
We hope this will be clarified
through pictures we took while
cruising over the ice floe.
Mariana and Zappi, after their
rescue by the Krassin, said they left
Malmgren alive after he had been
unable to proceed with them ON
their walk across the ice floe,
searching for rescue. The two Ital-
ian captains said Malmgren in
juries and frozen leg prevented him
from continuing the march and that
he had insisted they go on without
