LITTLEJOHN CASE
HEARING STARTED
Two Charlotte Policemen Tes-
tify Against Suspended Cap
tain Of Detectives

CHARLOTTE, Sept. 18- Up -
Two Charlotte policemen tested
against Frank N. L%ittlejohn, sus-
pended captain of detectives. as
the City Civil Service commission
began a hearing today upon a ser.
les of charges filed against the de-
tective by Police Chief E. j. Mo-
Ian.
w. G.. Timmons, Jr., a plain.
clothesman, told the three com.
missioners Littlejohn had threaten.
ed, to the accompaniment of Wig
orous profanity, to shoot a hole"
through B. H. Finlayson, another
policemen, if the latter did not
keep his nose out of my busi-
ness.
One of the formal charges
against the veteran detective was
this alleged threat to kill Finlay-
son.
Finlayson, the next witness, test
flied he had asked Littlejohn about
the alleged remark, after Timmons
had informed him of it.
The detective told him, he said,
that it had reference to a report
that the officer had made a tele-
phone call to a woman in check
ing up on Littlejohn.'
When he told Littlejohn that he
had made so such call, he con-
tinued, the detective replied that
in that case Everything was all
right and they shook hands.
F'inlayson also testified that he
had difficulty in obtaining his
share of a reward offered by the
state of Georgia for the capture
of an escaped prisoner in. 1888.
but eventually got the money, $25.
Nolan had charged LittleJohn
with attempting to keep Finlayson
from getting his share of the re-
ward. 4

BY ADELA ROGERS ST. JOHNS

Good news. Big good news. The
best I've heard in a long time.
There's a back-to-marriage trend
among American girls that
amounts to a tidal We. There
a reaction away from careers, and
from jobs, and a clean-cut and
definite idea freely expressed by
Junior League debutantes, college
girls and the backbone-of-the-na-
ton girls that marriage husband
and children, plus the budget, are
plenty enough career for any wo-
man.
Now all this, though it didn't
seep through right at first, has to
do with divorce. And since the per-
centage of American divorces has
been mounting until it's worried
most thinking people, it has to
be good news that this new move
ment is pretty sure to cut down
that startling percentage.
There is a lot more to this di-
vorce business than meets the eye.
When I came to Hollywood, l
had a sort of general confused
idea about divorce. Too bad there
we're so many matrimonial wrecks.
Something ought to be done about
it. On the other hand, after all,
divorce was part Of the modern
era, and maybe if people weren't
they'd better get a divorce
something to be said on both
sides of the question.
Then they hired me at Para
mount to write a story called Il
Want A Divorce. Off hand, it,
looked like a simple assignment.
Divorce stories grew on e ry
front page. All you had to do was
pluck one and change it around a
little and-and-it didn't work.
Because l discovered that di-
vorce' vas a deep. heartbreaking
psychological problem, tied fast to
the structure of human happiness,

Girls Is Noted By St. Johns

twined and twisted into so many
important human relations, fam
lily problems, health, religion, bus
mess and every other kind of thing
that can happen to men and wo-
men.
While l was studying, reading,
researching, 1 ran smack into two
amazing points. They interested
me so much that I thought I'd
pass 'em on to you.
First, the increase of divorce,
has been in direct proportion to
Woman's abandonment of home,
and marriage as her first interest
in life. 1t isn't only that careers
for women have added a great
and complex new cause for divorce
1t is that girls were trained to
think of marriage as a sort of
catch-as-catch can affair tn a t
would more or less take care of
itself while they pursued a thou
sand other hobbies, needs. jobs,
self-eXpressions, careers, pleasure
and what-have-you.
The second thing I discovered,
after profound investigation, was
that most divorces happen when
the divorce-seekers are very very
young. Wait a minute - what I
mean is that the things which do
cause divorce when you are grown
are the characteristics allowed to
run riot in childhood.
It's little things that bring on
divorce-but the little things are
indicative of big inner troubles,
and misunderstanding and should
be treated as warnings.
Right now, I'm trying to save
the marriage in my story II Want
A Divorce" A marriage like yours
and mine. Hope 1 succeed.
The r version of 81 Want A
Divorce" will be presented at the
Carolina Theatre starting Mon.

BRITISH AGENTS.
HUNTED BY NAILS
Reported Landing By Night
In The Netherlands To Meet
Sympathetic Dutchmen

AMSTERDAM, Wia Berlin)-
Sept. 26-CP-A German hunt for
flying British agents" who r re-
ported to be landing by night in the
Netherlands to meet sympathetic
Dutchmen resulted today in the ar
rest of five men in the coastal pro-
vince of South Holland.
Three of them were described by
the authorities as Czechs, and all
were said to have been members
of the crew of a British plane
which landed two nights ago near
the Hague. They were turned over
to the German army of occupation.
Rumors of stealthy landings by
British 1iers on war intelligence
missions led the attorney-general
yesterday to offer 500 guilders
(nominally about $3.50 for the ap-
prehension of any such agent.
Five weeks ago a dozen men in
a British plane who landed in
South Holland were arrested, after
managing to hide for several days.
(The urgency which the German
authorities seem to have attached
to these incidents apparently indi-
Gates that they have been unable
to weed out the network of secret
agents who honeycombed the
Netherlands before the German in
vasion of last May 10. In the first
half year of the war, allied agents
or purely mercenary spies were
almost as numerous as German
ffth-columnists.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. Up =

;o,,rnment of congress today. but
tonholing his friends about the capt.
tal and arguing that it was time to

after two months of resting. hunt
ing and fishing in Texas, boasted
hat he was in his best physical con
dition in years, telephoned to the
President, held a virtual receptlor

upon his crusade.
Ever since it had been unexpect'
edly announced in Texas sever
days ago that the vice president
would come back to Washington at
once. the reason for the return mao
been a subject of much e2clteo
speculation.
To reporters, Garner would nave
nothing to say regarding his plans
but had plenty to report on MS
physical condition.
"Feel that arm - it's solid like
iron," he urged n correspondent
who did so and found the statement

Nazi Ship Captured In
U. S. Neutrality Waters

OTTAWA, Sept. 90 The
CAPTURE of the 9,179-ton German ex-

can neutrality waters was disclosed
today by Navy Minister Angus
Macdonald.
The seizure, he said, was made
by the 6,S92-ton Canadian armed
merch-.nt cruiser Prince Robert
recently converted from her peace
time pursuits as a passenger
cruise vessel - off Manzanlllo,
Mexico, last night.
While nothing official was said
on the point, it appeared that the
Weser had been taken well within
the American neutrality zone.
