SPRING BRINGING NORMALLY
Nationwide Response to Re.
quest for Construction Is
Credited With Reaction

Washington, Mar. 8.-R-A thor.
ough study Of the present economic
situation has convinced President
Hoover that within q month or two
Inc more serious effects of last falls
stock market crash viii be passed
with unemployment conditions def
tnitely on the mend.
To the increased out-of-doors
construction work that comes each
year as the weather grows warmer
and to the expanded building pro-
grams OF the railroads. public util-
tiles and private industries the chief
executive looks to bring about this
result.
MI. Hoover's views on the situation
were summarized In q statement. is
sued to Washington newspapermen
late yesterday, based on . statistical
study made by interested depart
ments and consultation with the bus
mess organization set up BY the
president as q part of his program
Tor economic sterilization. At the
same time, q joint statement by the
headS OF the commerce and labor de-
partments was made public.
Worst Effects Past
IAN the evidences indicate" the
chief executive said. "that the worst
effects of the (stock market) crash
upon employment viii have been
passed during the next 90 days with
the amelioration of seasonal unem-
ployment, the gaining strength of
other forces. and the continued CO.
operation Of the many agencies ac-
lively cooperating with the govern
ment to restore business and to re-
lieve distress"
Unemployment, he said, is serious
in but II states and hardly more than
seasonal in the remaining 36. he
added that the low points of business
and employment were passed in De-
cember and that q gradual improve
ment had been noted since that time.
The chief executive predicted that.
with wage rates maintained. low in
terest rates prevailing, and increased
expansion expenditures by railroads
and utilities, the advance of spring
will witness q return to normal pros
perity.
Response Beneficial
An important and beneficial influ-
ence upon the situation. he continued.

ton by public authorities, railroads.

TO Recommend Prudence Rath-
or Than Strict Adherence to
Church Laws by Pastors

Chicago, Mar. 0.@ReA committee
Of the Presbyterian general assembly,
after spending three months in the
study Of divorce and kindred subjects,
has decided It would be 'imprudent"
for ministers to adhere to strict MAIN
tenance Of the church code on divorce
and remarriage.
The report which the committee
composed Of six ministers and five
elders will submit to the next general
assembly was completed yesterday.
immediately afterward one Of the
committee members predicted that
the liberalization recommendation
would result In a spirited controversy
among the congregation"
One brief. paragraph disclosed the
committees views on liberalizing the
northern branch Of the church: 1t
read:
I'VE recommend that since the new
testament fordains ct least the two
grounds which are now recognized in
our standard, adultery and IRENE
dial deeertion. II, woul seem impru-
dent to standardise the ministry In
the church upon the church law. for
each case must b studied upon its
own merits"
Continuing, the ministers and elders
realised that this liberty d likely to
Be abused By some ministers. but It ID
right IN principle and win b honored
BY the great majority Of the min
listers Of Jesus Christ seeking TO OBJ
serve the spirit Of his lite ana teach
ingR"
The committee wos unanimous IN
the belie1 that the federal govern
nent should adopt . uniform code on
marriage and divorce.

MARRIAGE CONTRACT
ON SOCIAL-ECONOMlC
BASIS ENDS IN court
Judge Scores Univsr-
sity Students Agreement
as 'Companionate'

Chicago, Mar. 8.-ReThe mar.
riage Of two University of Chicago
students In which they signed q con-
tract agreeing to restricted social and
economic claims on each other has
collapsed.
The breakdown Of the unusual pact
signed BY Leo Dolan and Virginia
Roth. before their marriage In Sep
tember. 1929, was aired yesterday In
superior court where Dolan lost an
alienation Of affections suit against
his father -in-law.
The agreement, introduced as evi-
dence In trial. and entered into in an
attempt Ito foster and preserve the
great love which now exists" evidently
fell far short of that mark. At the
end Of the trial Dolan told the court
he was not really after the money
he sued for $4,000 and merely
wanted his wife back, but the young
woman refused to speak to him and
left the courtroom on the arm Of her
father.
Judge Michael L. Mckinley. In d.
recting the jury to return q verdict
Of mot guilty." said it was "the most
outrageous contract I have ever heard
Of" He called It q mere compan-
tomato marriage. by which you assume
Ill Of the benefits and none Of the
duties Of q husband"
Dolan denied It was . companion
ate marriage and insisted everything
would have worked out all right II his
father-in-law. Edgar Roth, architect,
had not interfered.
The contract provided that Dolan
WAS not to support his wife until 1888
when both should have finished their
university courses. Each one prom
ised not to interfere with the others
school attendance Or career and they
were both given the right to forbid
social relations with other persons.
