PARTY FROM CAPITAL TO
 BE IMMENSE ONE
President Hoover Will Head the Delegation - Long. worth Death Again Twists the Republican Party
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Oitcd Press Stan COrrespOndcDt

!. Washington, April 10.---UP)- - Arrangements were being made to- day for President and Mrs Hoover to leave on a special train tonight to attend the funeral of the late Speaker Nicholas Longworth in Cin- cinnati tomorrow.
 Impromptu memorial services
 were said yesterday in the Washing ton cathedral, with hymns and pray
 CTS for Longworth and his family. The official funeral party which
 will journey to Cincinnati will be one
 of the largest ever designated dur ing a congressional recess. Besides
 the president and Mrs Hoover. Vice
 President Curtis, and members of the cabinet, 1t will include l2 sem ators. twice the usual number, and
 S9 members of the house. There will also be large number of honorary pail bearers from Washington and Ohio.
 The Grldiron Club dinner, which was to have been held tomorrow night, was postponed until Monday. April 27. owing 10 the desire of many prospective guests to attend the funeral.
 The death of Longworth has added another problem to those con-
 
 agement as 1t looks toward the com ing session of congress and the presidential campaign.
 The house has been Mir Hoover's buiwark. and now it has lost It's strongest figure. Time and again, as on the issue of farm and drought relief, the house. operating under the strong control of Longworth and his assistants, upheld the presi- dents views against hostile sen- ate.
 The house has been dominated by fl triumvirate, of which Longworth was the chief figure. The other two members were John c. Tilson of connecticut, majority leader. and Bertram Shell of New York. chair man of the rules committee.
 L0ngworth was the overshad0wing force, though under the house rules ns revised during the Cannon fight, his influence had to be exerted through the power of his personal fly. He showed his power in an- other way in the soldier loan fight. when he deserted the administra- ton and led the house in overriding n presidential veto. though his two would not follow him.
 Now Longworth is gone and the cause lh IeIL tO OLHcTb who lack some of his fighting force. The situation is made more difficult by the close division.
 Democrats intend 10 make n strong fight to replace LOngWorth ns n representative with fl democrat from the first Ohio district. Long, worth carried his district by the reduced majority of $500 last November. Democrats feel that If they could take this seat in the special election. which probably will be held next fall. there would be strong reaction in their favor na- 
 More specifically, however. such victory would leave the two parties in the house evenly divided and would give the balance of power to Paul J. Kaie. young labor member from Mime eota. Though farmer-labor members fin the past usually have voted with in matters of orgnniza- tion, the outcome of such fl situation, in view of the general political linc- up, might be in doubt.

DIVORCE JUDGE ISSUES BOOK TO
 BACKH VIEWS
George A. Bartlett of Reno, Has Presided Over 2O,- 900 Divorce Cases in His District
By II. ALLEN SMITH, (Unitcd Press staY Correspondent ]

New York. April 1O--(UP)-A A plea for ioosening divorce restrict- ions on the ground that 1t Is "the only practical escape from the man. made trap of marriage" is contained in book written by Judge George A. Bartlett of Reno. He has pre- sided over 10000 divorce cases. Ills book, Men, Women and Conflict" :" is published today by Putnam's.
 Judge Bartlett holds that in a happy marriage. the sex factor Is by far the most important. "suc- cessfuI Lovers" he writes. Weather storms That Would Crush Fraii Semi- PIatonic Unions"
 And while he admits that there are some cases in which adultery ''has been profoundly wrong," nc believes that for every one of these "I have seen hundred eases in which adultery was the least of all possible crimes of woman against her husband. or q man against his wife and children"
 Judge Bartlett points out that during 1929 there was one divorce to every six marriages.
 About nine out of every ten d. vorces are uncOntcsted," he writes "fhe- average length of time be- tween marriage and divorce Is from five to six years. which may be taken to indicate failure of per- sonal adjustment. Cruelty, either alone or in combination with other causes, accounts for almost one-half 0 fall dlvorces, but cruelty has been so 'broadened by the courts in its meaning that 1t has become largely q subterfuge.
 -Four of every ten divorces re- port children affected by the dccr3e. Children are involved in consid- ernb1y larger proportion of the di- vorces granted to husbands than in those granted to wives"
 It is Judge Bnrtletts idea that marriage. in its present form, Is mol il permanent institution. Yet the famous Reno jurist does not believe that divorce Is undermining the in- stitution of marriage.
 "The free dissolution of ties that lack emotional Justification" he writes, is no menace to the mar riagc institution. Indeed. the con marriage should not Do saved, but noble marriage is il union of con. genial spirits. Divorce will not touch 1t. Other unions are pseudo. marriages and their disruption har- monizes with the best preservation of the marriage institution"
 In his chapter on "advlce to young brides Judge Bartlett urges that n young woman should not worry about parental approval of her husband, about previous "af- fairs" he .has had with women. or about any discrepancy in ages.
 After the first flush of marriage happInes." the judge writes, "the bride is going to judge her man by
