BURLINGTON, N. C., CP)-The man in Maryland who wanted Mayor G. Marvin Holt of Burling- ton to help him find a wife can take his pick now from dozen or more ambitious women in this section.
 And the sooner the better-for the mayor wants to get out of the mall-order business in a hurry!
 Since newspaper story an- nounced that man in Hagers- town, Md, had called on Mayor Holt for help in locating a spouse, numerous women have written or called to say they are available" :"
 But Mayor Holt is tired having his office confused with a matri- monial agency.
 Finding a wife is personal business, and the next time some one from far away wants a wife from Burlington, the best thing for him to do is to come here and look around few days" he says.

Dancing Masters See Jitterbug
Giving Way to Romantic Steps

The postwar dancing outlook is
that jitterbugging will give way to
slow romantic dancing, in the opin-
ion of Franklyn Oakley, president of
the Dancing Masters of America,
which held a regional meeting at
the May1ower Hotel yesterday. This
brought to Washington teachers
from Maryland, Virginia and Della
ware.
''The jitterbug interest is waning
except among the very young bobby :
soxers," Mr.. Oakley said.
But he pointed out that this type
of dancing will not fade out until
swing music creates a new type of
dancing. This must be born of the
public itself, he said, inasmuch as
dancing masters teach what the
public desires.
Mr.. Oakley sees the new trend

and in 1912, the court pointed out,
Mrs. Boyce notified Mr.. Boyce that
she mo longer desired to eat his
bread"
The court then added: "The ap-
pellee (Mr. Boyce) claims to have
made an effort on at least two occa-
sions to bring about reconcilia-
tion, but the result was further
pickering and 1t seems that he has
acquiesced silently in the separa-
ton.
The appellate decision, written by
Justice Wilbur K. Miller, then ex-
pressed the view that suah situa-
ton justifies the granting of di-
vorce on grounds of voluntary sep
aration.
Separate Lives Emphasized.
The opinion asserted:
The argument that there was no
separation from bed and board for
five consecutive years is too refined
to be accepted, as they did not share
the board, but alternated in the use
OF the dining table in order, pre-
sumably, to avoid friction"
The Court Of Appeals declared,
The essential thing is not separate
roofs, but separate lives. These par
ties have been separated as effec-
lively as though they were living In
different homes"
Chief Justice d. Lawrence Groner
and Justice Bennett Champ Clark
OF the appellate court heard the
case with Justice Miller.

House District Group
To Expedite Action
On Hospital Center

| ~s~NAAASSAo VA tAlC X1OuOC
Committee today planned to expe-
dite action on the Senate bill to
provide Federal aid for construction
here OF a 1,500-bed hospital center
estimated to cost up to $4,000, 900.
The legislation was discussed to-
day at the first meeting of the group
conducted by Representative Nc
MILAN, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima, the new District Committee
chairman, but additional hearings
were ordered because of important
differences in pending financial
proposals.
With the assent of the seven other
members present, Chairman McMil-
Ian requested that additional but
brief hearings be held this week, if
possible, by the Fiscal Affairs Sub
committee. This is headed by Rep
resentative Murphy, Democrat, of
pennsylvania, who is now devoting
most OF his time to the sessions of
the Pearl Harbor Investigating
Committee. Because of this, Chair
man Mcmillan said he would ask
Representative McGehee, Democrat,
OF Mississippi to substitute for Mr..
Murphy.
Repayment Method Undecided.
The main issue which has recent
ly delayed action on the measure,
passed last May 10 by the Senate, is
proposal by the Federal Works
Agency that District taxpayers be
required to repay the United States
one-third of the construction cost
over 25-year period, with interest.
AS the bill came from the Senate
one-th1rd of such costs would be re-
paid over so years by the nonprofit
private hospitals participating in
the center.
Last Saturday, the District Com
missloners filed a report with the
committee rebelling against the
FWA proposal and protesting that
the District government now is
spending about SO 900 900 annually
for the care of the sick and is con-
templating heavy outlays for further
expansion of municipal hospitals.
They declared the District does not
have the revenues to meet the cost
proposed under the FWA plan.
Wants to Expedite Bill.
Alan Johnstone, FWA general
counsel, told the committee that he
did not know the financial circum-
stances of the District and that if a
different plan were to be adopted
that would be within the discretion
of Congress.
Chairman Mcmillan, in calling for
subcommittee hearings, stressed sew
