The Navy's problem, except as it applies to the Marines, isn't as acute. The Navy has long had a policy of giving men 30-day fur loughs after year at sea and in solar as it is possible, this still ap- plies.

RENO, New, Feb. 1s.-Doris Duke,
tobacco fortune heiress, will not ap-
pear nor will she be represented by
counsel in a divorce action today at

her attorney, said yesterday.
The case involves the suit for
divorce brought by James H. r.
Cromwell, former Minister to

Mr.. Woodburn made this state
ment:
"As Miss Doris Duke has not DOM
iciled in New jersey since June, 1910,
I see no reason for her appearing
and litigating in a court 50 COM
pletely without Jurisdiction as are

spect to both the absolute divorce
granted her in Nevada and the

Mrs. Cromwell had been given
until today by Master in Chancery
Bougal Herr to answer charges made
by Mr.. Cromwell that she had turned
him out Of their luxurious home near
Somerville in favor Of an unidenti-
ned member Of the British Parlia-
ment. that she Inundated" him
while he was Minister to Canada
and contributed heavily to his defeat
In an election for Senator from New

The limited divorce sought by Mr..
Cromwell would prevent either party

House Unit Approves
New D. {. Boxinq Bill

(From Yesterdays Late Editions.)
Legislation revamping the Dis
trict's present boxing laws was IA
vorably reported by a House District
Subcommittee today and will be sub
mitted to the full committee at its
next meeting.
Under the terms of the new meas
ure, civilian members of the Boxing
Commission would be paid an an
nual salary Of $1,000. The Metro
politan Police Department repre-
sentative would serve without pay.
At present all members of the com
mission serve without compensa-
ton.
The bill would also give the COM
mission authority to fix the salaries
OF its own employees. The existing
law sets the salary OF the secre-
tary at $4,000. This post Is filled
at present by Dick O'Brien, sports
writer. who yesterday told the SUBJ
committee his duties include ham
ding all correspondence, collecting
and depositing gate receipts after
a fight and acting as liaison between
the commission and fight promoters.
Another provision in the bill
would reduce the Districts share of
the gate receipts from 10 to 6 per
cent. The reduction was voted on
the ground that the smaller per-
centage is sufficient to maintain the
commission.
Regulation Of wrestling is not in
cluded in the bill. Chairman Har-
rison Of the subcommittee said this
matter would be taken up In a
separate measure.

7ruk Is Strongest Jap Barrier
7oU. S. Drive Across Pacific

Truk, attacked by American naval
task forces, is Japan's Pearl Har-
bor," the strongest Pacific outpost
barring the way to the Japanese
islands. Toxic is 7.l00 miles west of
Truk. The Philippines, marked for
recapture, are less than 1000 miles
away.
The japanese have used Truk to
dominate 4 wide area, extending
southwark to Rabaul. which is an
objective Of Allied forces commanded
by Gen. Douglas Macarthur. Truk
Is 4 keystone In Japanese defenses
As long as Truk harbored squad
rons Of the Japanese fleet, no Allied
attack could be made within the
broad area between Truk and Ra-
baul, Truk and the Western Mar
shall Islands. Truk and the China
Seas. without the constant threat OF
disastrous counterattack.
The most competent observers here
hold that the initial attack on Truk
has severely diminished its useful
ness for the Japanese, whose navy
will not be able to use the base with
security.
Considerable emphasis was laic
here on the fact that the Trul
action followed by only half a month

Closer Ties With Russia
Urged by Wallace

NEW YORK, Feb. l8.-Vice Pres
ident Wallace today expressed the
belief that it was equally important
for the United States to extend the
good neighbor policy to Russia and
China as we'll as to South America
Writing in a special issue of the
Survey Graphic, Mr.. Wallace de-
clared:
"Of all nations, Russia has the
most powerful combination of a
rapidly increasing population, great
natural resources and immediate
expansion in chronological skills.
Siberia and China will furnish the
greatest frontier of tomorrow. 1t is
quite possible that the next genera
ton will see as much American
trade moving across the Pacific to
Asia as has formerly moved across
the Atlantic to Europe"
Mr.. Wallace wrote that he had
discussed with Foreign Commissar
Molotov hopes for construction OF a
highway and airway system linking
Chicago and Moscow via Alaska and
Siberia.
The issue Of the magazine was de-
voted entirely to "American-Russia
Frontiers" with Is contributors Of
fering an American approach to un-
derstanding with Russia.
