verbal bombshell at the beginning
of the divorce milP' that invari-

Court.
Judge Sink ordered a mistrial,
by Withdrawing juror, in the case
of Maud W. Greenwood U. S. Cor
bett A. Greenwood, ruling that col
fusion existed between plaintiff and
defendant.
Addressing courtroom full Of
obviously surprised lawyers, the
judge said the court found that
collision had existed because the
defendant, by agreement, accept

er than from an officer.
Lawyers interpreted Judge
Sinks ruling to mean that mer

named as defendants in divorce
actions could be served only by
their superior officers or directly
if they were free to come to court
If such a ruling is upheld by the
Supreme court, they said, man.
divorces grained in this state woule
be invalid.
Commenting on the ruling, Judg'
Sink admitted many divorce
cases were granted in North Caro-
lima with such service but that he
and some other judges, held tina
such service constituted collusiol
and therefore was not valid. ''

Senate Gets Bill 10 Set
240 Billion Debt Limit
Amid Cries Of Waste
BY the Associated Press.


A House-approved bill to raise the
national debt limit to s240 ,000, ,000,-
900 went to the Senate today.
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland, noting that this is the
most expensive war in history, said :
We've got to do whatever is neces-
sary, to spend tremendously-w with
out avoidable waste, of course-un-
less We are going to risk weakening
our efforts"
There was a plea for caution,
however, from Senator Millikin,
Colorado Republican member of the
committee, which will take up the
debt limit bill after it finishes with
tax simplification.
Il think we ought to know all
we can about it before passing
judgment" said the Coloradan
THE old judicial attitude, you
know"
The bill, raising the legal debt
limit from $4,000, 100000, passed
the House yesterday without a dis
senting vote but only after Repub-
licans had flung charges of extrava-
CANT waste at the administration
and Democrats retorted that the
accusers were playing politics with
essential war financing.
The debt is now $185 900, 900 900
