1T seems singularly fitting and
good augury for the future of inter-
national relationships that the COM
memoration Of this milestone in the
progress of the American people to-

sympathetic response in the land of

1T is my belief that the Americans

BAN ON DIVORCE
CHALLENGED

LONDON GN.S)-Refusal Of
the British clergy to marry d.
vorced persons is to be challenged
in the courts in the near future.
Proceedings have been insti-
tuted by a woman, whose identity
at the moment remains concealed.
Having obtained a divorce from
her husband, she attempted to
marry again but found it impos-
Sible to induce a clergyman to
perform the ceremony. An appeal
to the bishop brought a confirna-
ton of the refusal.
The woman will ask the courts
to decide whether a clergyman Of
the Church Of England "aS by
law established" is legally bound
to solemnize a proposed marriage
and whether, If he refuses, a
mandamus can be issued against
him.
The Rev. w. F.. Geikie- Cobb,
rector of the 800-year-old Church
of st. Ethelburga in the heart of
the City of London, is one Of the
few English clergymen willing to
perform the marriage ceremony
where one or other Of the per-
sons have been divorced.
Recently he was cenSured by a
chapter meeting for "defying the
ruling" of his bishop.

RELIEF BILLS

Checking up on the record of
the Seventy.third Congress on
measures affecting the Federal
service, Government workers to.
day found that many beneficial
bills were passed during the ses-
sion, but that several important
proposed laws failed to be en-
acted.
Hope has been expressed that
Congress will act favorably at the
next session on such remaining
legislation as that providing for
the restoration of 80 days leave;
making sick leave uniform
throughout the service; repeating
the married persons clause Of the
economy act; and extending the
five-day week in the Thomas
amendment to other Federal
workers.
Both the American Federation
of Government Employees and the
National Federation of Federal
Employees worked valiantly for the
passage of many Of these meas
ures, and have promised to con-
tinue the fight henceforward.

.COUN TY SEEKS
EXECUTIVE

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.-The
WeStchester Citizens Commission
on Government Reforms has just
been requested by the board OF
supervisors to make a special et-
fort to have the State legislature
take some action to give the
county an executive.
This is held by many to be
the greatest single need Of the
county. Under the form Of gov
eminent, dating from Colonial
times, the board of supervisors,
a strictly legislative body, was
called upon, like the old town
meeting, not only to legislate but
to effect the administration OF
its acts. :.
Such a system was well
adapted to the needs Of rural
counties, but when the railroad
changed Westminster from a rus
tic farm county into a suburban
community the board Of super
visors became as oldfaShioned as
the spinning wheel.
In the rural period Of West
chester's development, when the
supervisors found a suitable role
in the life of the county, there
was no county-consciou
fact, there was very little that
the county had to do as such.
It consisted of several hundred
tiny communities with sparse
settlements in between, so that
when the supervisors met at the
county seat there was little If
anything of real significance to
the taxpayers which they were
called upon to do.

! Scandal Predicted
Observers among both Govern

Unions have pointed out that this
situation may result in scandal
within the GAO, since most scan
.aalS in tn Federal service are ini-
hated by political appointees.
It has also been shown that it
would be possible to put party

1t would be necessary only to ap-
ipoint them for six months and
then renew the status when it
expires.

The possibility Of putting "polit-

has drawn much fire from E..

the spokesman should have no
say, it is that service where the

Opposition to the appointment
