Absolute Ban on Divorces
Urged by British Cardinal
BY the Associoted Press

BY the Assoeiotsd Press
LONDON, Oct. 9.-An absolute
prohibition of divorce was advocated
last night by Bernard Cardinal Grit
fin, head of the Roman Catholic
Church in England.
Divorce Should not be allowed
however pathetic the case" the
cardinal declared in an address at
a dinner of the Knights of the Round
Table.
Hard cases make bad law, and
one divorce tends to weaken not only
the marriage bond, but the high
ideal of marriage which Christ
taught" he said.
The Knights strive to uphold the
ideals Of King Arthur.

Back Arlington Bonds,

A member OF the Arlington
County Board and the man he sue
ceeded today, Endorsed proposed
bond issues and the referendum on
the method of selecting County
School Board members.
In independent statements, Board
Member Daniel A. Dugan and Ed
mund D. Campbell took issue with
individuals and organizations work
ing for the defeat of the three ref
erenda which will be voted on May
'27.
At the same time, 1t was an
nounced that the Arlington Better
Government League, proponents,
and the Greater Arlington Associa-
ton, opponents, will begin series
of four radio debates today on the
question of a directly elected school
board.
Broadcast Scheduled Today.
The initial program will be broad
cast at $40 pm. today over station
WARL.
Mr.. Dugan declared, "the specu-
lators who are financing the propa-
ganda campaign of the so-called
Greater Arlington Association are
attempting to scare the homeowners
- into voting against the bond
issues that are absolutely necessary
to make Arlington a decent place
to live"
Mr.. Campbell who served on the
board for seven years during which
he twice was chairman, warned that
defeat of the proposed bond issue
would be a tragedy which might
set back generation the progress
OF Arlington
Stand Of Douglas Attacked.
Mr.. Campbell asserted he wanted
"to take the issue squarely" with
Lawrence w. Douglas, Arlington s
Commemorative attorney. who
earlier this week opposed all three
referenda. Mr.. Campbell said that
his experience on the county board
had convinced him sit is now i'm
possible to make permanent i'm
provements which are essential to
Arlington's prosperity on a pay-as-
you-go basis and retain a tax rate
which would be acceptable to the
people"
"Mr. Douglas has stated that II
the method of selecting school board
members is changed and the bono
issues passed, it will mark the ad-
vent of an entirely new philosophy
in the community" Mr.. Campbell
asserted I'm my opinion 1t viii
mark a recognition of the fact that
Arlington is, in effect, city and Is
no longer a county community.
