Divorces Are
Granted By
New Statute

Benton county Thursday had
its first divorce under the new
9O-day law. First action in the
new family court established by
the last legislature also was
heard Thursday. R. M. White,
Prosser, was attorney in both
cases.
The divorce was granted by
Judge Orris Hamilton to Erva
Grayson from Albert Grayson.
The family court hearing, Judge
Hamilton presiding, was on a
divorce action filed by Emma M.
Prenguber against ancis ].
Prenguber.
Both laws became effective
June 9. Formerly the complain.
ant must wait 80 days before a
divorce action could be heard.
Then, if the action was uncon.
tested, an interlocutory decree
was granted. Six month later, on
petition by the person seeking
the divorce, a final decree could
be issued.
ONLY ONE HEARING
Under the new law there is no
hearing until 80 days after the
action is filed. Then, if the peti.
ton is not contested, a final de.
cree is granted.
The Family court is charged
to try and reconcile couples in
divorce actions if one party so
requests. If one person petitions
for a divorce, the other party
may request a hearing in the
Family court. Moving the action
into the Family court also stays

Judge then attempts to bring the
couple back together.

WESTERN aiI POWERS IN
 BIG MOVE
Gives Russia Taste of Own Medicine 0utIawinq
 Soviet East Mark
(By The Associated Press)

The Western Powers in Berlin have given Russia a taste of her own medicine.
 An allied order, put out yesterday outlaws the Soviet East mark in the American, British and French sectors of Berlin.
 The new decree, expected for some time, splits the citys economy completely. It means Western Ber- lin now has the West mark, and eastern Berlin has another-the Soviet mark. The West mark is worth far more than than of the East.
 The Russians already have made it a crime to possess West marks in their area. There were reports they would not retaliate against the latest western move in the cur rency battle.
 The currency question has been one of the main issues in the Soviet blockade of Berlin. Several inter- national discussions have failed to solve it.
 The western order was declared effective immediately, but the East mark will still be good in western sectors for rationed foods this month and will be accepted for rent and taxes in April.

KENTUCKY
 PLAYS OFF
 N(AA GAME
Round of National Finals Also Starts Tonight
 on Seattle Floor
By BEN PHELGAR

NEW YORK, March 2l-tR- Kentucky's try-again boys make an. other stab at basketball glory hert tonight in the opening round of the NCAA playoffs.
 Once figured almost shoo-in fol both the National Invitation anc NCAA titles the Kentuckians now will have to prove they can vii under fire.
 They've been beaten only twice ir 31 games this season, but the two they lost were the big ones. St Louis whipped the Wildcats by two points in the final of the Sugar Bowl holiday tournament and Loy- ola of Chicago trounced them, 62- 47, in the quarter final round of the National Invitation a week ago today.
 Almost nobody doubts that the Lexington Wildcats can get past the Villanova Wildcats (22-3) to- night But the road ahead certainly doesn't look as smooth as it did a short week ago.
 The immediate stumbling block seems to be the University of Illi- nois, Big Nine champion with l9- 3 record The Illini are favored to brush aside Yale (22-6) in the first game of tonight's double header
 FINALS AT SEATTLE
 The first round winners meet to- morrow night for the right to op- pose Oklahoma A. and M. in the National Finals at Seattle, Wash, Saturday. The second place team here also will travel west for Q consolation engagement with Ore gon State, which lost to A. and M. at Kansas City Saturday night, 55- 30, in the western final
 Underdogs Yale and Viilanova will feature the nations two highest in dividual scorers among major col leges. Tony Lavelli, ace of the New Haven Blues, has averaged 22.7 points in 28 games. Paul Arizin of Villanova, has hit at the rate of 21.7 fer 25 games. Thus, for the first time, tournament competition will determine the national scoring title.
 Despite it's poor showing in the Invitation, Kentucky is a IA point favorite tonight. The experts figure the Wildcats can't lcok that bad twice in a row. Illinois is rated 10 points better than Yale
 If form prevails the Yale-Illinois contest should be the closer of to- nights two games. Illinois hasn't played in Madison Square Garden since 1940 when one Lou Boudreau, who now hangs out in Cleveland. was its ace. This time the club is led by Dwight Eddleman, a first string football player and a member of the U. s. Olympic team last summer as a high jumper.
