CAROLINA COUPLE
IN DIVORCE MIXUP

WASHINGTON, Oct. 49, Up Il
North Carolina contended before
the Supreme Court today that it
was not required to recognize Ne
vada divorces granted North Car
DINA couple because they had not
established a bona fide residence
in Nevada.
Hughes J. Rhodes, assistant at
torney general of North Carolina
opposed an appeal by Mr.. and mrs.
O. B. Williams Of Pineola, N. c.
They said they were being sub
jected to unjust persecution" be-
cause the North Carolina courts
refused to recognize their Nevada
divorces and a 1912 opinion by
the Supreme Court in their case.
Williams and his present mate
went from North Carolina to Me-
vada in 1910 and obtained divorces
from their first spouses. They mar
ried there the same year returned
to North Carolina, and later were
convicted of 'bigamous cohabita-
ton" Later the Supreme Court
held the divorces valid and sent
the case back to North Carolina
"for further proceedings"
After this, they told the high
tribunal, the North Carolina 81
D. enoe Court ordered a new trial
and they were convicted again on
the same charge.
Rhodes argued that the Nevada
court did not have jurisdiction to
grant the divorces because, he said
the couple had not established bona
fide residence.
w. H. Strickland, counsel for the
couple, commended there was no
evidence in the record Of the case
to attack successfully the Judgment
of the Nevada court. The couples
residence in Nevada was obtained
in accordance with the laws Of that
state, he asserted. The court took
the case under Amusement.

ALLIES WRECK
JAP OIL SOURCE

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
New Guinea, Oct. 13.-R Allied
airmen have taken much Of the
profit out of Japan's East Indies
petroleum conquests with repeated
attacks on the Balikpapan REIN
cry and storage center on Borneo.
Heaviest and most damaging Of
six recent assaults on Balikpapan
was the Tuesday smash by fighter
escorted Liberators which plaster
ed plants, tanks and facilities with
1876 tons of explosives. It was the
first time fighters participated in
the raids.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur said
the attack put the cracking plant
out of operation, perhaps perma-
nently, and heavily damaged par
ATTN refinery. Flaming storage
tanks sent up smoke pillars 10000
feet.
The Japanese have defended
with energy. using fighters and an
tiaircraft guns in efforts to keep
intact plants which product Is per
cent Of the gasoline and oil for
their war machine.
Six Allied attacks since Oct. 4
cost 10 bombers and one fighter,
three of the bombers and the
fighters being lost in the Tuesday
foray. But the attackers dropped
at least 249 tons of bombs and
shot down 81 enemy intercepting
planes for sure and perhaps Is
more, in the six attacks.
The fighters flew more than 1880
miles to protect the bombers. The
flight of the Thunderbolts n d
Lightnings was thought here to be
the longest operational flight ever
made by battle planes Of this type.
They helped shoot down SO enemy
planes for sure and probably 10.

He did not comment on his talk

Mikolajczyk said he believed

Although the belief grew that a
tentative compromise might be
