HarUard Professor Urges Stringent Marital LaUs

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 8-(UP)- A Harvard sociologist recommended today that citizenship rights be ab- ridged for those Americans who do no+ marry at prescribed age and produce good-sized families.
 Prof. Carle c. zimmerman said in an interview that a 20-year-old wo- man or a 25-year- -old man who has not married should not be allowed to run for public office until he or she takes a mate.
 Further, he said, those persons should be excluded from positions of public leadership in later life if, after a given number of years of marriage, they have no children.
 Family SatbiIization Needed
 To achieve this desired utopian state Professor Zimerman believes a national family governing body will have to be created by conStitut- ional amendment. This body, with branches in every community, would deal judiciously and adminiStratively with the important problems of family structure"
 More specifically, this body would make it more difficult to get married or be divorced.
 Speaking with a soft southern drawl, Professor Zimmerman said he felt his somewhat radical theory was justified on the grounds that he is convinced that American civili- zation will disintregrate just as Greek and Roman society did un- less the American family becomes more stabilized
 Twice before, the same crisis oc- cured in western civilization,' he said. Tn the Third Century B. C., it happened to the Greeks; in the Third Century A. D., it happened to the Romans-and all because of th~ same social responsibility and childlessnesS among influential and governing classes that exists in the United States today"
 There's A Mate Somewhere
 Agreeing that love is vital foun- dation for all successful marriages, Professor Zimmerman said never theless that If from all the nice people in the United States you can't by the age of 25 meet anyone you can fall in love with, why then you should suffer from the disabilities of lack of full citizenship"
 As for those who because of Ster- ility or other reasons cannot produce offspring, Professor Zimmerman conceded that special exceptions might be made in certain cases and full citizenship allowed
 On the theory that irresponsible marriage leads inevitably to divorce, he wants:
 l. A universal cooling-off
 period of about six months be-
 tween the announcement of in-
 tentions and the marriage cere-
 mony.
 ?. Proper instructions by
 educational or religious author
 itieS in the seriousness of family
 life.
 3. Abridgement of citizenship
 for those who do not fulfill their
 family obligations for society.
 Leveling Off Seen in 1915
 Under the present trend, Profess sor Zimmerman believes the Ameri- can family will plunge to the lowest possible dephth by 1875 when there will be one divorce for every mar rlage. To combat such an eventual ity, he said, family matters should be returned to public control.

Inquiry Into Charges
Against Gen. Clark
Pledged by Thomas
By the AsSociafad Press

Chairman Thomas of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee has
promised a thorough investigation
of charges that Gen. Mark w. Clark
wasted the lives of American SOL
diers in Italy.
Senator Thomas yesterday as
sured four former Army colonies
who led Texas National Guardsmen
in disastrous attacks at the Rapido
River crossing and other parts of
the Italian campaign that their
testimony would be examined before
action on Gen. Clark's permanent
promotion to ma jor general.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas described as "one-sided" the
War Department report that cleared
Gen. Clark of previous criticism and
demanded the Senators call "eyeball
witnesses" and other top-ranking
generals present during the italian
campaign.
Colonies Tell Same Story.
Chairman Thomas said the Senate
group would study testimony given
at previous hearing by the House
Military Affairs Committee, the Off
clal War Department report and
the evidence yesterday before acting
on the promotion.
Gen. Clark headed the 5th Army
during the Italian drive that even
tually overran Rome. He now holds
a temporary four-star rank.
All four former colonies told sub
stantially the same story of what
they termed the ''Rapido River
fiasco." They were Miller Aims
worth of Luling, president of the
36th Armored Division; Carl Phin-
ney of Dallas, Andrew F. Price of
Fort Worth and David M. Frazier
of Houston.
Refused Advice, They Say.
They said Gen. Clark refused the
advice of Junior commanders, in
Guiding Maj. Gen. Fred L. Walker,
36th Division commander, and
three times ordered a frontal attack
on strongly defended German posi-
tons across the river.
Twice these attacks were repulsed
by the Germans with tremendous
losses and the third attack finally
was called off after appeals from
Gen. Walker and subordinate COM
manders involved.
Mr.. Price, who was wounded and
left a hospital to testify against
doctors orders, said his regiment,
the 141st, was reduced from SO Off
GERS and 2,056 men to At officers
and 914 men through the two
Rapido crossing failures.

The storm of dissatisfaction
among most of the 140 traffic
court and violations bureau en-
ployes recently put under civil
is growing daily.
In addition 10 the failure OF
most Of them 10 benefit from the
recent IS per cent pay boost given
other city employees, two other
reasons for discomfort are cited:
A growing feeling that the
amendment, as drafted and
voted upon in the last city cleo
tions, does not really apply 10
them legally.
. The name of municipal"
court used in the amendment is
not the official name of their
court. For this reason, some Of
the personnel believe that the
amendment was not legally cor
rect.
To support the first contention,
some Of the employees point to the
amendments wording, which de-
scribed the amendment as a pro-
vision to provide for the eXten-
sion of civil service provisions in
the charter of the city of Detroit
TO include all employees Of the

nance division) =. who are NOT
appointed by the judges of said
