Rations Board
AT Fullerton
Quits in Body

FULLERTON, Calf. May Is.
CUF)-Chanma. r. E. Marsh and
nine members of the Fullerton war
price and rationing board Tuesday
resigned in protest against removal
by CPA officials of certain con-
troversial records from the boards
files without leaving copies or re-
ceiptS.
Board members did not name the
officials involved but said they had
asked area headquarters to investi-
gate the matter without success.
The designations were sent to
J. B. Edwards, OPA chief of office
management in Los Angeles.
Marsh and the others had been
serving without pay on the tire and
gas rationing panel.
II am thoroughly favorable to
the rationing program and still hold
as always that all violations should
be prosecuted TO the fullest extent
and I hold no brief for anyone in
volved," Marsh said.
My objections are to the method
employed in removal of records from
files of a government office with
cut leaving a receipt or copy. This
clearly places those responsible for
its legal conduct in a very difficult
position.
"If one or two records are taken,
others might be taken he added.

how easy it is to marry and divorce
down there" He sale, however,
that Nevada would be affected
along with every other state if the
amendment were approved by con-
gress and 36 states.
The main points of the proposed
amendment;
/. No persons could marry in a
state in which he or she was not
domiciled unless legally qualified
to marry in his home state by meet
ing such requirements as blood
tests, etc.
2. No marriage contracted in a

less the person was legally quail

marriage, to marry in the state of

3. An action for separation or
divorce could be brought only in

The allied fifth and eighth

line from the Liri valley to the sea

fighting Germans were showing the
first signs of withdrawing to the

The comparative rapid break
