the Court of Appeals has sug-
gested.
Had Henry A. Donnelly checked
up, he'd have found the woman
he wed in Martinsburg. w. Va.
Is years ago was still married to
another.
Now, despite a subsequent an
nulment, she will get a share in the
value of property they bought as
man and wife in Anne Arundel
County.
The Appeals Court opinion by
Judge c, Gus Grason suggested
a sort of caveat emptor-let the
buyer beware-policy for prospec-
tive husbands.
Mr.. Donnelly's ex-wife, now Mrs.
Richard SmithSon, was not trying
to put anything over on him, the
court found. She honestly thought
her first husband. one John
Blankenship, was dead. He had
deserted her two years after their
marriage IN 1918. She heard
nothing from him. And Mr..
Blankenship's mother said she'd
collected from his life insurance.
Still, there was no positive
proof, and Judge GraSon observed: ::

collecting system in recent months
Mr.. King and other members of
the subcommittee have indicated
that on the basis of their investi-
cations they would recommend
that collectors be given civil serv-
ice status. Other bureau employees
have been under civil service for
a number of years. but the posi-
ton of collector has been a polit-
ical plum awarded by the Presi-
dent and usually eagerly sought.
There are 81 collectors whose
jobs would be removed from the
patronage list if they would be
made subject to civil service Sc
lection. Their pay ranges from
Grade 5, where the minimum pay
is $3.410 annually, to Grade 9,
whose maximum is $6.185 an
nually.
The thousands of employees in
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
are already under civil service and
paradoxically supervisors, such as
division chiefs are better paid
than the collectors themselves.
Their salaries range up to the
Grade 13, in which the maximum
is 50 360

In Opinion on Marriage 7ongIe

Mr.. Donnnelly was so uninter-
ested in the past life of the woman
to marry that he did not inquire,
or that they did not talk about
her past life
Mr.. Donnelly had explained he
thought it unfair" to pry too
closely into her affairs.
Nine months after the wedding
in 1885, the Donnellys signed an
agreement to buy 2712 acres in
Anne Arundel County. They lived
there and both worked to make
payments on the $4,000 purchase
price. An 81 800 balance remains
due.
The couple separated in 1916.
Mr.. Donnnelly sued for divorce in
Howard County. Then an lnves-
tigation by the Veterans Admins
tration came to light 1t showed
Mr.. Blankenship was alive. In
stead of a divorce, the Donnelly
marriage was annulled.
Mr.. Donnelly also wanted to
lannul the joint purchase agree

THE Republicans know this as

are directing all their energies to-
ward a campaign based on slander

proof in other countries that the
technique of the big lie can sue
ceed-at least for a time.
That is a loathsome political
technique. But it is one you must
be prepared to meet by word and
deed. The Democratic Party must
be in position to show, on the
record, that there is no basis in
fact for the Republican smear
campaign. just as clearly as We

Urging that the Truman

added:

reputable Boyle" The last was
a reference to William NJ Boyle,
jr.. who resigned effective yester-
day as party chairman.

Party are reelected in 1882
Senator Byrd said. "it will be re-
garded and rightly so as mandate
from the people of America to
push through Congress their whole
unconstitutional socialistic pro-
gram with especial emphasis on
civil rights legislation.
Plans Hard Fight.
/ 'TYou cannot rely as safely as
you have in the past on the prob
