Whatever the likes or dislikes
of modern men and women, some
thing is disintegrating family life

to the reader.

Love Not Basic to Successful
Marriage, Says Sociologist

because they have nothing to talk
about. At home the husband reads
the paepr at the breakfast while
conversation languishes."
To this experience this writer
can add that he knew a couple who
did not live together for 13 years
after their marriage. When the
husband finally got tired of road
work and arranged to have his
wife leave her mothers home for
his own, the wife fumed and quar-
relied all day long on the day they
moved together. She just didn't
see any sense in moving from her
mothers.
DR.. Burgess quotes an Abilene,
Texas, housewife who says:
"I know l married for love,
and there are lots of breakfasts
served in our house without a
word, much less a conversation.
If he would talk or I've tell me
something about his work or some
thing he say or did through the
day l could hold a conversation.
| sometimes think we would be
better off if we didn't take the
paper, because he reads it from
the time he gets in from work un-
til he goes to bed, and the next
day is the same. So where does
love help any,"
The sociologist asserts that the
belief in romantic love is a part
of the heritage of Americans, but
it does not hold as it did in by
gone generations. He lists the ar
ticles of Americas romantic faith
as:
l. Love at first sight. 2. Physi-
cal attraction, personal appeal and
beauty. 3. Soul affinity (the at
traction of one soul for another.
a. Passionate love which over
comes all barriers of race, color,

SPRINGFIELD, Feb. IL. GAN
PA penetrating article on "The
End of Romantic Marriage" is car
ried in Golfers magazine for jan
uary 81 from the pen of DR.. Ern-
est w. Burgess, professor of So
GEOLOGY at the University of Chi
cago. He attempts to explode the
belief that the basic essential to
a successful marriage is love.
"Momantic love as a guarantee
of happiness in marriage" the
professor says, "is now being rec
ognized as a myth similar to:
And so they were married and
lived happily ever AFTER"
For evidence that love or some
thing is failing to make modern
marriages successful, DR.. Burgess,
who has made a close study OF
the matrimonial fortunes of Amer
lean families, calls attention to
the rate of divorces these days.
He says the rate has risen SO that
today "there is one divorce for
every three marriages."
The divorce rate has climbed SO
that some churches are now sane
tioning it directly or indirectly.
Recently, he said, two married
clergymen secured divorces with
the permission of bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal church"
Many marriages that are not
successful never reach the divorce
courts, the writer says. "Disillus-
ionment, incompatibility, divergent
life values and boredom bog down
many marriages even if husband
and wife continue living together"
the author declares.
DR.. Burgess lists boredom as the
nemesis" of many marriages.

ploitation of the oppressed peoples.
And while the peasants are too
often living in abject poverty,
the upper class continues to exist
in a luxury that is based on the
labor and continued degradation of
the mass of the people. Is it any
wonder that such people listen to
the siren promises of the agents
of communism? To the man who
ekes out a miserable existence on a
few acres belonging to an overload,
the communist slyly promises to dis
possess the owner of the land and
distribute it to the peasants if only
the communists will be placed in
power. Should we be surprised
that the downtrodden man should
rebel against the oppression of cen
turtles and should listen, even with
a measure of doubt, to the promises
of better things to come? His re-

Court 10 Test State Tax
For Outside Residents

Whether Virginia has authority to
levy taxes on a resident who also
maintains legal residence in an
other State is scheduled to be ar
gued Wednesday in Arlington
County Court.
The question was raised yesterday
by one of 81 persons who had been
summoned before Judge Hugh Reid
for failure to appear before Com
missioner of Revenue Harry K.
Green to explain why they had not
filed tax returns.
w. T. McKinnon, A, of 1923 South
Kent street, who raised the issue,
said he maintains a residence in
South Carolina. Mr.. McKinnon is
employed at the Bureau of Engrav-
ling and Printing here.
Judge Reid, who set the case for
hearing, told Mr.. McKinnon the
Supreme Court already has ruled
that the State has the authority to
levy the tax. Mr.. McKinnon, how
ever, said he thought that decision
might be upset If the question again
were carried before the high tribunal.
Six of the 81 persons who failed
TO appear yesterday will be served
warrants, Assistant Commonwealth's
Attorney Paul D. Brown said. Six
teen other cases we're continued
until December 20 and one until
wednesday: three cases were nolle
pressed and four persons who had
already filed returns were given sus-
pended $40 fines.

Maryland Legislators
Hold Last Profession
Meeting in Annapolis
~ the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 16.-Members
'of the Maryland Legislative Coun-
Gil came here today to inspect the
Irefurbished State House, lunch at
the executive mansion and hold
their last meeting before the 194s
General Assembly convenes.
The council-interim committee OF
the General Assemblies charged
with drawing up legislative pro-
gram for the session. BY the time
the Legislature convenes January 5
it is expected to have about 125
bills ready for submission.
At session in Baltimore yester-
day, the council:
Voted to freeze the membership of
the House of Delegates at its pres
ent number of 1913. approved a bill
to increase the salaries of Circuit
Court judges, voted to allow a / per
cent increase, to s per cent, in the
commissions charged by trust COM
panies for administering estates and
living trusts, and rejected q rec
ommendation that candidates for
Office be required to file a copy of
their campaign expense report with
the secretary Of State as well as
Circuit Court clerks.
The council also approved "in
principle" a proposal that the State
Roads Commission construct access
roads to recreational areas. Western
Maryland Senators and Delegates
had contended the State is neglect
ing exceptional recreational oppor-
tunities, particularly in Garrett
County, by not building access roads.
The bill to fix salaries of Circuit
Court judges would raise their pay
to $4,000. 1t would also make the
pay of the chief judge of the Court
of Appeals $4,000, a $500 increase,
and the salaries of the other men,
bers of the high bench $4,000 each,
also a $500 increase.
The Council previously had voted
to pay circuit judges $12,500, as op-
posed to $4,000 now, and allow a
rebate to counties which have been
adding to the $4,000. There was no
provision for the Court of Appeals
The new bill provides that the
$4,000 figure shall be paid by the
State and shall be uniform for all
judges outside of Baltimore City.

Enforcement Officers
Asked 10 Report on
Montgomery zoning

Appointment of a zoning officer
and an additional assistant States
attorney to aid in enforcing Mont
gomery County zoning regulations
was recommended today by a five
man committee representing as
many county agencies.
The committee was set up Ave
months ago after a conference of
county officials to discuss zoning en-
forcement methods.
Members of the group are Wesley
I. Sauter, representing the County
Council; Dwight B. Gait, Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission;
Louis A. Gravelle, Board of Zon-
ing Appeals: States Attorney WAL
ter w. Dawson and j. Bond Smith,
attorney for the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Would Sift All Complaints.
The zoning officer, according to
the committee, would investigate
all complaints of zoning violations
and would prepare cases for trial
either in civil or criminal courts.
His salary and those of any as
siStants he might require should be
paid jointly by the county and the
planning commission, according to
the committee. with the major por-
ton to be paid by the county.
The additional assistant States
attorney would be appointed by the
Circuit Court to prosecute zoning
violations in the criminal court.
Civil cases would be handled
through Injunction proceedings
brought by the county Council and
the planning commission, as well as
in the names of the affected munic-
ipalities or property owenrs, the
committee said.
According to the committee, vio-
lations which affect large areas
should be handled by injunction
proceedings. while criminal action
should be taken in cases which af-
feet only the adjacent property.
The committee suggested that the
additional assistant States attor-
ney be appointed by the Circuit
Court. This would be temporary,
however, pending enactment of leg
islation, the committee said.
In a report accompanying its
recommendations, the committee
said:
Enforcement Needed.
more adequate and effective
zoning enforcement in Montgomery
County is imperatively required in
the. public interest and is necessary
to protect the whole zoning plan
and the community in general"
The committee added that the
States attorney now has only one
assistant and his staff is entirely
inadequate to assume the further
duty of instituting necessary GRIM
inal proceedings"
The report and recommendations
have been presented to the various
agencies involved.

Maryland Mayors May Ask
Local LEGISLATION Powers

Mayors of Maryland cities and
towns may ask the State to keep
its hands off all local legislation,
spokesman said yesterday.
Joseph M. Ray, head of the de-
partment of government politics at
the University of Maryland, said
the recently revived League Of
Municipalities will decide what to
do next month. Mr.. Ray is execu.
tive secretary of the league.
He said he is drawing up a con-
stitutional amendment which would
permit cities to amend their own
charters, subject to referendum, and
forbid the General Assembly to pass

The Executive Committee asked
for the amendment, Mr.. Ray said.
and it will be voted on when the
league convenes at the Lord Balti-
more Hotel in Baltimore, January
