YOU COULDN'T AFFORD A DIVORCE!
Continued from page tkfrty.fOM

the brutal facts of such a life.
A husband who is eager for a
divorce often because an
impatient successor has already
been chosen - is inclined to
throw financial prudence to the
passing wind. But when the
dust has settled and he finds
that his dollars WON'T stretch
to cover two standards Of liV-
ing, he begins To falter in his
aIimOny payments.
That's when the party begins
to turn sour. When an alimony
payment is missed the ex-wife
very often tosses her former mate
into the only debtors prison that
exists in this country - alimony
Jail. The sentence is usually six
months, but if. by the time his
stretch has been served, the hus-
band has not paid up. he can be
seized and thrown into the clink
for another six months, and this
can go on as long as he lives.
'0 course, the ironical part of
all this" Attorney Wells points
out. ''is that while he is in ali
mony jail he can't work. so he
has no chance of ever paying the
wife her money"
Alizaomy Clubs
In THE big cities. some of these
jails have become rather COM
Portable clubs where the ''mem-
bers" engage in such distractions
as bridge, poker and softball, to
the further engagement of their
wives. In fact. a New York
divorce recently petitioned the
court for her husbands release
on the grounds that he was hav-
ing the best time of his life.
Michigan. however, has just
passed a new law which may
revolutionize the alimony Jail.
jailed husbands in that state can
now work by day and return each
night to the hoosegow. At least
it gives them a fighting chance
to get even.
In addition to determining ali
mony, the courts must divide
other assets and property. In
most states. each party gets back
any property they brought into

the marriage, and property
jointly accumulated during the
marriage is divided fifty-ffty.
But California and a few other
states have what is known as the
community property law"
which means that the wife gets
so per cent of everything the
husband owns at the time of the
divorce, a situation that makes
California a wife's paradise.
Runaway Fathers
ALTHOUGH alimony abruptly
ends with re-marriage. the
amount a man must pay for the
support of his children does not.
Many men, faced with the pros
pect of performing what is finan-
cially impossible or spending
their lives in an alimony jail.
simply run away.
Recently the number of hus-
bands who have escaped alimony
and support payments by NOV
ing out of their ex-wives' juris-
diction has reached a staggering
total. Once a husband is safely
outside the state in which his
former wife lives, he must be
located and sued all over again,
and the expense involved is often
prohibitive, because a divorce
must establish domicile in this
state to sue him.
The situation has gotten SO
bad that "The Runaway
Pappy Bill'' almost reached
the floor Of the U. S. Congress.
Several stateshave joined in what
isknown as ''the uniform support
of dependents law" This law,
which has been passed by Con-
necticut, Illinois. Indiana. Iowa,
Maine. Michigan, New Hamp-
shire. New Jersey, New York.
Oklahoma. Wisconsin. and the
Virgin Islands, provides reci-
procity among these states for
the return of runaway husbands.
To the rich. alimony and sup
port are easily taken in stride.

dent in Tommy Manville's $40
million. Ally Khan feels that

Conference 10 Open

Al national conference to ex-

of rehabilitating an estimated Is
million Americans with hearing
difficulties, will open at 2 pm.
tomorrow at the Department Of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Co-sponsored by the American
Hearing Society and the Office
of Vocational Rehabilitation, the
conference is one follow-up Of
the new Vocational Rehabilita-
ton law, which seeks to increase
the number OF disabled persons
rehabilitated annually.
About 100 hearing experts
from throughout the country will
attend.
Some $500 hard-of -hearing
persons have been rehabilitated
annually, according to figures
supplied by the American Hear
ing Society. Both the society and
the ONCE Of Vocational Rehabil-
itation feel the figure could be
increased substantially.

Nobody has fished in the
troubled waters of United
States politics with more sue
cess than the Nationalist Chi
nese. It was quite unnecessary
to point out to Chang that
any actions on his part which
would affect the campaign
would be q poor return to his

so long made his cause their
own.

StrictionS were attacked as q
blow to morale in Formosa.
The situation is not with
out humor but the politicians
say there is no mileage in 1t
either way.
The campaign is lethargic in
large part because these emo
tional. highly personal issues
have been superseded by eco
nomic questions. And there is
no doubt the Democratic trend
results from the economic pic
ture.

Former President Truman has
made a speech which. for sheer
political blundering, exceeds
anything that has yet emerged
in the present campaign. He
has asked for the election Of a
Democratic Congress suppos-s
edly to help President Eisen-
hover carry out the Truman
foreign policies. This he wants
because. he says. Many of our
friends and allies have lost
confidence in the stability Of
American foreign policy"
So. in order to reassure our
allies. Mr.. Truman thinks it is
necessary to repudiate Gen.
Eisenhower in his conduct Of
foreign policy. Moscow viii
cheer that statement. Also
throughout Europe. where they
are very familiar with what
it means when a parliamentary
majority is lost by a prime
minister, the opinion will be
that, II q Democratic Congress
is elected, Gen. Eisenhower no
longer speaks for the United
States. Clement Attlee has
been telling audiences abroad
that q Democratic Congress is
coming IN and that this viii
mean the admission of Red
China to the United Nations
and the abandonment of
Formosa.
It is amazing that q man
who carried the burdens of the
presidency for nearly eight
years should be telling the
world that he wants to see
the present incumbent of the
White House repudiated.. For
that's the Interpretation which
will certainly be placed abroad
upon the election if the Re-
pubhcans have been deprived
of a majority in both houses
of Congress. Indeed, in par
1iamentary governments they
usually call for the resignation
of the executive when a ma
jority is lost in the legislature.
The first statement on for
eign policy IN that speech
made by Mr.. Truman. quoted
exactly; reads as follows:
In less than 20 months
many of our friends and allies
have lost confidence in the
stability of American foreign
policy. This is a very serious
business. Our own security
and the peace of the world is
jeopardized by 8 diplomacy
that is ever shifting. Frenzied
diplomacy has taken the place
of our former sure-footed, BIZ
partisan foreign policy. A

Quiet preparations are be-
ing made FOR q Big Four
meeting late this year or early
in 1855. It has not vet been
decided whether it will be .
gathering Of foreign minis
tiers or whether It actually will
be q conference Of the heads
Of state, as Winston Church
i'll has been demanding for the
last two years.
The heretofore cautious
State Department is now con-
fident that the French Ma
tional Assembly and the Ger
man Bundestag will ratify the
London agreement providing
for German rearmament. But
both Parliaments will insist
that negotiations between the
Big Four powers be resumed
In quest Of European security.
The French. who are said
to have decided to indorse the
London pact only to avoid be-
coming isolated and losing
American military aid funds.
will demand that their gov-
eminent bring the U. s. s. r.
into the family Of European
powers to render large-scale
armament unnecessary.
The Germans, and partic-
ularly German labor, will
demand that negotiations be-
tween the four victors Of l945
be resumed at once in order to
bring about German reunifica-
ton. The German rank and
file consider this more impor-
tant than physical rearma-
ment Of the former Reich.
The Soviet peace offensive"
has been successful in the last
few months. The Russians
have skillfully added the
notion Of co-existence to their
claims for world peace. Most

including American participa-
tion in the u. N. il Red
China is admitted. the Demo-
Gratis today are split.
It Is difiicult to follow the
contradictions In Mr.. Tr,l-
mans latest utterance. IN one
part of his speech he says:
"And for the record. Let 1t
be said that this administra-
ton itself has In fact not
adopted nor proposed q new
foreign policy Of It's own :.
No sooner did the Republicans
take over power than they
quietly appropriated the very
same basic foreign policy
which they had so bitterly
and unjustly attacked. But
they took it over with q diff
ference. What q sad differ
enc! The foreign policy Of
the Democratic administration
was bipartisan, and was ad-
ministered as . bipartisan
policy"
Nobody ever heard Of two
political parties administer
ing q bipartisan policy" in
the State Department. It is
true that peoplei from the mi
nority party are usually in-
vited In as advisers but the
responsibility for adlninistra-
ton must and does rest with
the party in power. AS for "bi-
partisan policy" Mr.. Truman
ignored it almost completely
with respect to the Far East
when he was President. as
Senator Vandenberg. Repub-
lican leader, complained again
and again.
Mr.. Truman, moreover, didn't
go to Congress for authority
to intervene in Korea, though
the Constitution says Con-
gress alone can declare war.
Any talk about the amenities
Of the presidential Office is not
very persuasive coming from
Mr.. Truman when it is con-
Sidered that, without request
ing action by either house. q
war was undertaken by him
which cost America more than
100000 casualties. What is
worse, nobody in Congress was
consulted when the decision
was reached to tie the hands
Of Gen. Macarthur so he Il
couldn't fight back against
Chinese bases. The parents of
more than 10000 dead Amer
lean boys wished that a BIZ
partisan foreign policy had
been in effect then. Mr.. Tru-
man has unwittingly furnished
the best argument yet for the
election Of a Republican House
and Senate on November 2.
