known product-her- quick and easy
divorces.
During the war years Reno blamed
the housing shortage on the vast Reno
army air base II miles north of town.
Hundreds of officers and their families
were domicied in Reno.
But now the air base personnel has
dwindled to handful. and still the hous-
ing shortage in Reno continues. The
divorce influx in 1945 has made housing
even shorter than did the air base.
THE dude ranches in the beautiful
il Washoe Valley are packed to the
rafters and have been throughout the
year. Renos hotels bulge with divorce
patrons and her bars and cocktail lounges
are draped with men and women trying
to forget their domestic woes until such
time as a sympathetic judge -untles the
knot.
In a community where there are even
penny slot machines for the kiddies,
customers stand three-deep around the
dollar slot machines, waiting their turn
to wp lady luck. Harold's Club and the
Bank Club, to mention only two on Reno's
gaudy gay white way, are Jumpln' day
and night.
Bv s o'clock every evening, not even
a shoehorn can get another divorcee into
the bar and cocktail lounge of the River
side Hotel, still the towns smart rendez-
vous.
The hotel itself, always the home
away from home of the rich divorce
trade is adding two spacious wings, the
better to accommodate the cream of the
expanding divorce trade in future years.
TN THE dear, dead past, Reno divorces
Il were for the elect and the select.
Divorce took time and money.
Now Reno has put divorce within the
means of all, and 1t is now the pastme
of the poor as well as the privilege Of
the rich.
The women clerk in stores or learn 10
deal "21' in the gambling clubs TO sup
port themselves while in Reno Then men
get jobs in garages or wait table in the
little restaurants in the side streets
nF COURSE. Gloria Vanderbilt Di Cicco
" managed to get 1945 divorce with
out taking a job, and TO marry Leopold
Stokowski to boot.
Anne Could descendant of the original
Jay Gould, divorced one Nevada cowboy
and married another Don Valentine.
Two members Of the August Belmont
family obtained divorces in 1915, and
Alice Agnes Morris divorced Col David
Hennen Morris Jr.. great grandson Of the
late William n Vanderbilt
But the backbone and bulk of Rcno's
1915 divorce trade was among incon-
splcuous and unknown men and women,
as it has been for many years. The upper
strata by no means has monopoly on
domestic misery or the determination to
be quits with it.
Reno is confident that her present
divorce boom is just beginning Bench
and bar both expect 1916 TO set an even
higher record of divorce cases than 1915.
Lawyers and judges feel certain that
innumerable .hasty war-marriages will be
dissolved in the next few years, and that
a dozen assorted war causes will bring
about divorce between husbands and
wives long separated by war service.
This community is convinced that
postwar reconversion has hit matrimony
and expects TO continue TO pick up the
pieces and the chips.
Detroit evening times., 1945-12-29

but on the home front. ----
With the dove of peace lowering over
the rest of the world, the smoke of
domestic battle lifts momentarily to re-
veal the fact that divorce will have
reached an al-time high in the United
States at the end of 1915.
From all over the nation comes a tale
of domestic infelicity which is exemplifed
and confirmed in the statistics of Reno,
the countrys divorce mecca.
All Reno divorce records have been
broken in 1915.
TT WOULD be an exaggeration to say
Il that as Reno goes. so goes the nation.
But it is true that the rise and fall of
divorce statistics in the Nevada cosmopolis
always have been a mirror and a gauge
of the nations domestic state.
The current statistics do more than
indicate that postwar matrimony is taking
a beating throughout the United States,
Nor is this all 1t will continue to take
a beating throughout 1916 and perhaps
for year or two thereafter according
to Reno's experienced lawyers.
THESE lawyers all say in so many
Il words:
.It is the war. We had the same
situation during and at the end of the
first world war. The present situation
is neither new nor novel.
Wives whose husbands 60 overseas
are inv ariably lonely women. They find
other company while their own men are
\ In
help the home front any for lonely wives
to read stories day after day about the
American army's determination policy.
Both are apt to be bit suspicious
of the other. In the ma jority of cases,
when the matter of divorce arises, there
is little opposition from either husband
of wife, no matter which party first asks
for the divorce"
DISTRICT JUDGE A. J. .MAESTRETTI,
~ a shrewd man who hears at least
half of all Reno divorte cases, predicted
the postwar increase in divorces almost
year ago.
Last February, the judge said that
men and women who "gO away TO war
will return different persons spiritually,
mentally and sometimes, physically"
affectiOnate because of what they have
seen and endured in war.
(2) women will be inclined to be
more independent
go Men suitable for marriage will he
limited in numbers and women will take
whatever they can get.
(4 Men will cease being heroes
when they take off their uniforms.
60 women diverted from their
normal tendencies toward home and
children by war factories will return re-
luctantly to domestic life.
Co Girls who married boys in uni
form because of war sentiment and
glamour will have a change of heart.
CD "Mercenary women who married
soldiers for easy allotments or the pos
sbility of insurance will want divorces
when the allOtments cease"

Civilian Cotton Textile
Business Is Restricted

NEW YORK, June 2-Civilian
business in the cotton textile market
was restricted to fill-in lots of print
cloths, sheetings and other construc-
tions during the last week.
War Production Board Chairman
j. A. Krug said military require
ments for cotton textiles would be at
record high for the third quarter.
Trade interest centered on posi-.
BILE Government changes in the pric-
ing structure to stimulate produc.
ton. Industry sources said in
creased production might be effect
ed either through higher ceilings or
an incentive subsidy to mills.
The Office of Price Administration
suspended price controls on con-
tracing of combed cotton yarns
both in the gray and finished form
for three months, retroactive to
April 16 and applicable only to War
Department orders.
Scarcity of supplies held down
civilian buying of wool goods for
fall requirements, but the trade ex-
pected some improvement in the
third quarter because directives
channeling the bulk of wooden out
put to rated orders are not sched-
uled for extension. War need for
blankets brought freeze order on
all production from June II to Sep
tember l.
There was no improvement in the
volume of rayon goods allotted to
