JUDGE ADVOCATES
IMPROVED JURlES

A plea for the service Of re-
spectacle citizens on the juries Of
North Carolina courts was made
by Judge w. c. Harris Of Raleigh
at the opening Of the June criminal
term Of New Hanover Superior
court yesterday.
While impaneling the jurors, OF
whom only three out of 50 asked
to be excused, Judge Harris de-
clared, I'VE want decent, respec-
table citizens Con the juries) who
will see that fairness is done to
the defendants and the state. We
don't want what is called pro-
fessional juror.
II, and all the judges in North
Carolina, appeal to the citizens in
each county we go to to serve on
ju~ies. We want business men. It's
your duty to serve on this jury"
he told those gathered for the i'm.
paneling. Some people have a
horror of serving on a jury. They
find they have become sick imme-
Idiately. That practice has been
going on so years or more. Tn
trying to get out Of this and to
have respectable citizens of the
community to serve on a jury.
Its a good thing for a man.
who is interested in our govern
ment, to sit there on the jury a
week. It would be an education to
sit there and see how the courts
are run. I ask you not to ask to be
excused unless it is absolutely
necessary"
The jury granted three divorces
on grounds Of two years separas
ton and one marriage annulrnent
this morning.
Solicitor Clifton Moore disclosed
that the only murder trial SEIZED.
u1ed at this term will be heard
Wednesday. The defendant is Joe
Powell, Negro, who was arrested
in connection with the death of a
soldier in an automobile accident
on the Carolina Beach road.

SENATE PASSES
VETERANS Bill

WASHINGTON, June 12-iR|
The senate passed today and Sd
to the house a compromise VI
sion of the ''G.I. bill Of right
embodying a comprehensive pl
gram of benefits for veterans
the present war.
The cost of the program. incl]
ing disqualification, education, i
employment compensation a 4
loans for purchase of hom
farms and businesses, has been
timated at from $4,000, 900, 900
SO 100000. O0C.
Finance Committee GhairlfS
George Cd. -Ga.) told his colleagq
senate conferees had agreed
luctantly to house insistence I'll
any benefits veteran gets und
the bill be deducted from any 4
nus he may be voted after 4
war.
Under the measure, veter
would be entitled to $40 we
unemployment compensation
So weeks should he or she be 4
of a job during the first two vel
after discharge.
If his or her education was
terrupted upon entering the sci
ice the veteran could get 4 yea
schooling, and in some cases
complete college education, wi
the government paying $500 for
years tuition. plus $50 a mon
for subsistence and another s.
dependents.
The government would guars
tee 80 per cent of private loans,
4 per cent interest, up to a mai
mum Of 1900 to enable vetera|
to enter business or farming
to buy a home.

the occupation of Germany cam
be carried on. The Italian expel
ence has made perfectly clear I'D

then could we enter Paris witho

And how could we occupy al

tiguous to France, and impose
regime of disarmament and cd

made as certain as 1t is human
possible to make that a Fren|
government approves of our de-
sions and will support them? VIII
ever we chose to believe, we ha|
been as yet unable to make the
decisions. We have been unable
make them because in the absen
of France nothing in western q
rope can be decided.
A United Nations council, as M
Welles proposes, to decide Eul
pean questions. in which there a
vacant chairs for France and 4
land, would be no council. For til
two countries are the princiI
neighbors Of Germany. The al
man question is the paramot
question that the council wot
have to settle. and by busting
vacant chairs instead of fill
them we should only have ma
a mockery Of the most sefad

week.
 The couple married Feb. 1o, 1889, and cruelty was alleged to have started at that time.
 The husband yesterday lost 8 civil action brought against a local den- tiSt, Dr. Francis J. Hayes, over in- capacity resulting from a tooth in- lection. His allegation that he miss ed considerable time from work was substantiated in his wife's divorce action. In her specific statement on acts of cruelty, she mentioned that he had been unemployed for some time and thereby added to the mar ital difficulty. The husband today filed a motion to set aside the di- rected verdict returned against him yesterday by superior court jury.
 Although Mrs. Magro indicated during her divorce trial that she would join the WAC if a decree were granted, no statement was given that her application has been accepted. A WAC recruiting since then had notified local authorities that no woman who has a child under 14 years of age may join the service.

RED CROSS NEEDS
 26 MORE NURSES

Twenty-six more nurses are need ed to i'll the local quota for the Armed forces, 1t was reported at 8 meeting of the executive committee of the local Red Cross Chapter yesterday. Eight applications are said to be pending at the present time.
 It was disclosed by the home service department that 409 cases were processed during April by the service. Mrs. Clarence Cooke has been appointed volunteer chairman in charge of the prisoner of war division, while Katherine Rowe of Westerly. R. T.. has been named a new case worker for the depart ment, the committee was told.
 Reports were read at yesterdays melting by chairman of various other divisions of the chapter.

 Charges of Intolerable Cruelty

Jacqueline Moriarty Magro, 21- year-old Waterbury woman, who in divorce court last week expressed interest in joining the WAC, was granted her petition for divorce to- day by Superior Court Judge Ed ward J. Quinlan. She charged her husband, Vincent Magro, with in- tolerable cruelty.
 Judge Quinlan in granting the de- cree gave custody of the couples minor child to the mother for the period during which the child re- mains under the care of the pater. nal grandparents. He adds, however, that the ruling is made without pre- judice to the removal of the linita- ton upon demonstration by the mother at some later date that she is 50 situated as to give the child not only a home but the necessary oversight" He made provision for nominal alimony of one dollar per

FEW COTTAGES
 IDLE TO DATE
State Police Informed to Terminate Regular Props
 erty Inspections

Complete occupation of "almost every vacation cottage in Connecti- cut" during the next few months was indicated today by Colonel Edward J. Hickey, Commissioner of State Police.
 Commissioner Hickey, in a report to the Connecticut Safety Comnis- sion on probably summer travel in this state, said that the several State Police barracks have been re- ceiving hundreds of notices daily from cottage owners informing the police that their properties would be occupied throughout the vacation period.
 The commissioner explained that the notices terminate regular State Police inspection of the properties as a protective service during the months when the cottages are un- occupied. Shore and fake cottages, woods cabins and camp sites are in heavy demand this year, both by their owners and by vacationers, Commissioner Hickey declared.
 A casual survey last week end showed that hundreds of persons were seeking rentals at Sound View, Point O Woods, Silver Sands, Hawks Nest, Crescent Beach and similar resorts along the shore, ac- cording to State Police investiga- tors.
 The Safety Commission had re- quested information about summer activities as part of a study of vacation accidents that kill or in- 5ure many human beings each year in the state.

HOSPITALS NEED
 NURSES AIDES New Evening Courses to Start at St. Mary's in
 Near Future

A new evening course for Red Cross nurses aides will start short lily at St. Marys hospital, 1t was announced today by Mrs. Howard Hart, chairman of nurses aides, who stated 8 very great need for day classes exists at both local hospi- tals.
 Mrs. Hart stated that 10 women have already registered for a day. time course, but that at least 20 are needed before a course may be started.
 It was disclosed that after serv- ing 150 hours in local hospitals, some capped aides have been sent to the Allingtown Army hospital, where they live with the nurses and work eight hours day.
 Mrs. Hart reported that due to the nursing shortage in Army hos pitals more and more nurses aides have been called into service throughout the country. She said the Seventh and Eighth Service Commands have asked for them on a full-time paid basis. She said the Red Cross considers 1t a great compliment to have such 8 request made. It is believed special uni- form will be designed for such aides who render full-time service, and that the aides will have privileges of the Officers clubs and receive other considerations.
 Last month the aides gave 667 hours of service at St. Mary's hos pital, 2.110 hours at Waterbury hos- pital, 9 hours for the V. N. A., and 49 hours for the blood donor service.

 At Dinner Saturday
300 District Democrats to Attend Jefferson Day Party
 at Hotel Elton; County and Valley Represented

Final plans for the Jefferson Day Dinner, to be held Saturday night in the Hotel Elton under the auspices of the Democratic Party of the Fifth Congressional District were being completed today by Gen. eraI Chairman Cornelius F. Ma loney.
 About 800 Democrats from the district are expected to attend the dinner, at which the main speaker will be U. s. Senator Francis T.. Maloney of Meriden.
 Mayor John s. Monagan of this city will be the toastmaster for the occasion and seated at the head table will also be Mayors Cornelius F. Caldwell of Derby, Andrew Nolan of Ansonia, William Patten of Tor rington, and Warden Leo Brophy of Naugatuck.
 The gathering, which is the first Fifth District dinner of any size in recent years, is expected to produce Q number of political can- didacies and may determine to some extent the congressional nominee favored in this end of the district. Speeches are to be limited, however, with Senator Maloney the main speaker of the evening. Brief re- marks are expected from the sev- eral Democratic mayors to be pres ent.
 Democratic members of the Legis- lature, officers of local Town Com mites, State Central Committee members are serving on arrange 1nents and reception committees and will be in attendance at the din- iaer.

HOUSING CONTRACT
 REMAINS UNSIGNED

A contract whereby the city will assume full jurisdiction over all fed- eral housing projects locatde here may be signed soon between local and federal authorities. Under pro- visions previousl agreed upon the city's newly created Housing Auth ority will have full authority over these projects once the formad agreement has been signed.
 Delay in final contract terms has resulted so far because of the in- sistence by city authorities that these housing projects must be in a satisfactory condition before they are taken over by local authorities. Two inspection trips of these projects have bene made by the members of the Housing Authority since then.
