marriages in which one Of the
parties is incapable Of con-
tracing for want Of win and
understanding; and (5) "a
marriage contracted under q
representation and belief that
the female partner to the mar
riage is pregnant. followed by
the separation Of the parties
within forty-five days Of the
marriage which separation has
been continuous for q period of
one year shall be voidable:
Provided, that no child has
been born to the parties within
ten lunar months of the date
of separation"
North Carolina forbids the
marriage of double first cous-
ms. but marriages between first
cousins are valid.
May n couple be legally
married without marriage Ii
cenSe?
Yes. 1t has been held in
North Carolina that a failure
to procure a license will not
invalidate a marriage other
wise valid.
The only effect Of marrying
a couple without a license is
that the minister or justice of
peace is subjected to a penalty
of two hundred dollars. It is
the marriage ceremony, and
not the obtaining Of the license
prior to the marriage cere-
mony, that determines the val
idity OF the marriage.
In most States marriage lie
ense statutes are construed as
directory only and not manda-
tory. Under this view, a valid
marriage may be created with
out first obtaining a marriage
license. A statute which is
deemed directory merely points
out, a way by which a result
can be certainly accomplished
but which does not say that il
is the only or exclusive method
by which the result can be ac-
complished.
The fact that the license may
have been obtained by fraud
or perjury, or that the consent
Of parents is not obtained as
specified by statute in certain
cases, does not prevent a mar
riage ceremony from being ef-
fectivc.

that the parties shall intend to
marry, and their intention may
be proved either by their words

nization or other formality, "a
part from the agreement itself,
is necessary. No witnesses are
required.
The agreement being the es-

mony of the parties themselves
or by the testimony of third

Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Id
aho, Indiana, Iowa. Kansas,
Michigan, Mississippi, Montan-
a, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South

only by annulment or divorce.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 5 up.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat. of
Alabama, today said the Defense
Department has admitted under
congressional pressure that Rus
sian strength in jet fighters and
modern light jet bombers ex-
|ceeds that Of the entire free
world.
He asserted that Republican
administration officials, backed
by President Eisenhower. disre-
garded military experts in 1858
and curtailed carefully planned
Air Force expansion program.
The cuts were restored in 1854,
said Senator Sparkman, but this
country's defense program has
not yet recovered.
Senator Sparkman accused the
Defense Department and Air
Force officials Of refusing Ito
face the known facts about Rus
sia's increasing strength and to
make those facts known to the
American people.
"They even refused to declas-
sify and release to the American
people the photographs taken of
the Air Force show held in Mos
COW last May"
Senator Sparkman's remarks
were in an address prepared for
delivery at the State American
Legion convention today.
MANY suspect that this in
formation was held back for fear
that public knowledge of it would
force the administration to re-
quest additional money to step
up American manufacture of jet
fighters and :. Jet bombers. :"
Senator Sparkman asserted.
"It was not until members Of
Congress insisted that the Amer
lean people be told the truth as
to our lag in air power when
confronted with Russia's that
the Defense Department ad-t
mitted that the Soviet Com
munists have more jet fighters
and modern light jet bombers
than the United States and the
entire free world combined"
Senator Sparkman, the 1852
Democratic candidate for Vice
President, said there is no doubt
