DIVORCE MILL"
BRINGS STUDY
Of STATUTES
Virginia Requirements Found
Lighter Than in District
Or in Maryland
ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, June discharges before a
congressional m m t tee that
Arlington county, Va, operates a
divorce milf for Washington
residents, has caused judges and
lawyers to scrutinize anew the diff
ferences between the Virginia and
District divorce laws.
They point out that Virginia
has thrown every preca ut o n
around marriage, but admit that
it is much easier to obtain a d.
vorce. in Arlington county or else
where in Virginia, than in either
the District of Columbia or Mary
land.
Virginia requires only one years
residence, for example, as com.
pared to two years in Maryland,
and three years in the District of
Columbia.
DesertiOn Clause
The laws of the Old Dominion
also permit divorce for desertion
of two years, as compared to a
requirement Of three years in
Maryland, and only one ground
adultery-in Washington.
Commenting on the marriage
laws in Virginia, Charles r. Fen.
wick, chairman of the legislative
committee of the Arlington
County Civic Federation League
and chairman of the Democratic
executive committee of Airing
ton county, said:
"The State of Virginia has
thrown many safeguards around
marriage. For example, habituaI
criminals, insane persons and
many mental detectives, and per.
sons afflicted with blood infec-
tiOns, may not marry, and If
such marriage takes place, It
will be void from the time it
is so declared by a decree of d.
wore or nullity or from the time
of the conviction of the parties.
"The law further requires
bond on ministers authorized
to perform the marriage cere.
mOny and penalties for clerks
of court for failing to carry
out properly the requirements
of the law. Very few States
have safeguarded the sanctity
of marriage as has Virginia"
COMPARE LAWS
Comparison of the divorce laws
in Virginia, Maryland and the
District of Columbia, shows why
many washington residents pre-
fer Virginia's laws as a source
of divorce. Summarized, the laws
are:
District of Columbia - Three
years residence required. Mar.
riages may be annulled for for
mer existing marriage, lunacy,
fraud, coercion, physical inca
pacity and want of age at time
of marriage. Absolute divorce
granted only for adultery.
Maryland - Two years resi-
dence. Impotence of either party
before marriage; any cause which
renders a marriage null and void;
adultery, abandonment for three
years, and unchastity of wife be-
fore marriage.
Virginia-One years residence;
adultery, felony. cruelty, desertion
two years, fugitive from justice
two years, pregnancy of wife by
other than husband at marriage,
wife a prostitute, or either party
convicted of Infamous offense be-
fore marriage unknown to other,
physical incapacity. Divorces
brought for desertion which have
not become final and which can
not be granted on account Of the
objection of the defendant, can
be obtained after a five-year dura"
ton. If a divorce is brought I'M
der the same conditions (opposi.
ton of the defendant) but tn e
ground is cruelty, it can be OBJ
tanned after three years.

MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 81 GN.S.)
The Uruguayan government in.
tends to ask the Soviet minister,
Alexander Minkin, and members
Of his legation staff to leave the
country as result Of discovery
the Soviet State was involved in
the recent Communist uprising in
Brazil" it was stated in semi-of

The government was expected
to hand passports to Minkin and
his aides some time today.
Charges that the Russian Of

Brazil we're reported to have been
proved" in Congressional inves-

1t was learned authoritatively
that Uruguay also plans to close
down on Amtorg, the Soviet trad.

but it was believed likely this move
would be delayed because the or.

And Another Kick

Also, the postal group is up in
arms over a situation whereby
clerks are ordered by supervisors
to report for duty in railway post
office cars before the time set for
them to go to work. In reference
to this problem, it is pointed out
that Federal courts have previous
ly ruled that clerks on hand be-
fore the time they are supposed to
report for work are treSpaSsers,
and that as such they would have
no right to claim damages in case
Of injury. Mr.. Collins memo con-
cludeS:
"The clerk in charge has no
control over the members of his
crew until the official time set
for reporting for duty. The law
is specific, and we desire to
comply with it and will do so,
but we do not propose that the
clerks be induced to violate law
and court decisions by official
intimatiOn that they must ignore
such decisions, and be in rail-
way post office cars prior to the
time set for being on duty"

RAILWAY MAIL
GROUP HITS
OVERTIME
BY J. EARLE MOSER

Comptroller General McCarl is
to be asked for a ruling to
Straighten out the matter of over
time for postal employees handling
railroad mail, according to an an
nouncement Of w. M. Collins,
president Of the Railway Mail AS
sociation, an organization affili-
ated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Members of the association and
other postal workers are perturbed
over the attitude of the Post
Office Department in regard to
time credits" for delayed trains.
According to legislation passed in
1925, railway mail workers are to
be given credit via their pay
checkS-for the difference be-
tween the scheduled arrival of the
train on which they are working
and the actual time at which it
pulls into its destination.
The employe leader charges
that the Post Office Department
recently paid postal clerks for the
overtime forced on them by late
trains, and then demanded that
they refund the money. Tersely
commenting on the situation in a
memorandum to membership of
the Railway Mail Association, he
says:
"If the law of 1925, after hav-
ing been in effect and applied
properly, is to be set aside by
administrative rulings, we pro
pose to take this to the Comp
troller General, or to Congress,
II necessary"

Tracy Signs for
Bout With Woods
Cox and Chuck to Mix Next
Thursday.

Local followers of the squared
circle will be treated to the dish
for which their appetites have been
whetted next Thursday night when
Tracy Cox, Indianapolis Junior
welterweight, climbs into the ring
again with Chuck Woods of Detroit.
Cox came TO an agreement today
with William c. (BilD Miller match
maker for the Olympic A. c. The
weight will be 140 pounds at 3 D. m.
Several weeks ago, Woods fought
Tracy to a draw.
When informed by the promoters
that Woods signed contract to ap-
pear in the main go of the first
Olympic show had been returned
from Detroit, Cox fell in line and
disclosed that he had been in train
ing for the match for more than
a week.
With the windup of his first
Olympic show in the bag, Miller
turned his undivided attention to
the job of arranging a strong pre-
hminary card.
