to Fest the application of the new law.
Mrs Tipping sought divorce from

This recommendation is made be-
cause OF the termination of the pro-
gram of agricultural production ad-
justment under the act Of May IL.
1888, as amended, known as the 'agri-
cultural adjustment act to which the
three acts mentioned were auxiliary"
Held Unconstitutional.
The A. A. A. was declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.
The Bankhead cotton act is in the
Supreme Court for test Of constitu-
tionality on an action brought by Gov
ernor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia.
The administration now is seeking
enactment of substitute farm pro-
gram to replace the A. A. A.
Bankhead Concurs.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat. OF
Alabama, author of the compulsory
cotton act, commented:
The Bankhead act has served q
purpose in the cotton belt, far more
favorable than any purely cooperative
program can do. Under the Supreme
Court rulings in other cases I don't
see any value in keeping the tax acts
for cotton, tobacco and potatoes on
the statute books"
The President communicated with
Bankhead before sending the message
to Congress.
Suspension of the ginnings tax un-
der the Bankhead act, levied on cot
ton produced above quotas allotted
to individual farmers, had been urged
by the Georgia congressional delega-
ton in formal resolution. Senator
Russell, Democrat, Of Georgia has a
resolution pending in the Senate CALL
ing for this suspension.
Texans Suit Returned.
The Bankhead law was attacked by
Lee Moor, Texas planter, in a case
which reached the Supreme Court.
But the high tribunal returned 1t to
lower courts without ruling on the
acts constitutionality, saying Moor
had failed to show damage. The
Texan since has started another ac-
ton.
Talmadge brought his suit directly
to the Supreme Court as a State
action against the Federal Govern
ment. 1t involved cotton grown by
the State. The Government asked
to have the suit dismissed and argu-
ment on this motion is set for this
week.

Court Of appeals Declares
ID. C.. DiuOrce La,v Retroactive

Affirming previous ruling by JUS
tice Daniel w. O'Donoghue Of District
Supreme Court, the United States
Court of Appeals today held that the
Districts new liberalized divorce law Is
retroactive.
A contrary ruling would have invali-
dated some 200 DEGREES already secured
under the new statute, and thrown out
of court hundreds of other divorce
suits now pending.
Attorney Bruce Aitchison, represent
ing the husband in the particular di-
vorce case in which the courts decision
was made, announced he would ask
the United States Supreme Court to
review the ruling of the Appellate body.
A question at issue was whether con-
ditions existing and offenses committed
before the new law went into effect
last August were grounds foy 'ivorce
under its Nberalized provisions. The
new statute added three new bases for
absolute divorce. They were: Deser-
ton for two years, voluntary separa-
ton for five years and conviction Of .
