TWO STATES BID
 TO GET DIVORCES

Continued from Page D pass on the amount Of alimony and on property settlements.
 Nevada May Meet it
 The Nevada lawmakers may make another gesture to meet Montanas competition. There Is a law pending which would make hcompatibility grounds for divorce. Under the pres- ent law, the states clients must al- iege "extremely cruelty" and this divorce lawyers said, offends the ears of the wealthy customers who come here to shed their mates,
 Montana's effort 10 get some or Neyada's business was, to Nevada, merely another Of series. Both Arkansas and Florida have relaxed their divorce laws.
 Tn the legislative debate, Assem-. byman Ray Germaln argued that t would increase the fees of lawyers to shorten the required period Of residence, but that 1t would reduce the income Of Nevada business n general. Majority Leader John old- ham also opposed shortening the period.
 "Wcil have to stop somewhere, v he said. If we don't we'll be down to three-day residence, or DC giving mail order divorces which won't bring any revenue into the state"
 Nevada Confident
 The legislators decided tbat Ne- yada's warmer climate and it's gam. bling and dude ranch facilities would offset Montana's Inducements.
 But Montana was planning attfac- tons other than the quickest di- yorces. IL was presumed that E .te, where gambling already is coE;' paratively wide open, would become Montana's Reno" The legislature had bill to legalize gambling throughout Montana, and another to spend e26,000 advertising the state
 Montana lawmakers called atterl- ticn to their dude ranches, i'f the real" ranch country, and the ac- possibility to Yellowstone and Ola cier National parks. Montana be- iicyed t had the edge on scenic beauty to console persons waiting month for a divorce.
 Rep. Sherman W. Smith, author Of the Montana divorce bill, pre- dicted that 1t would bring c new prosperity"
