The Oregon supreme court puts
ts foot down on "mail-order" di
vorces. In a decision handed
down Tuesday it affirmed an opin
ion by Judge Vandenberg of
Klamath Falls, sitting in the Mult
nomah circuit court. It held that
a divorce granted in Nevada to an
Oregon citizen who went down
there and stayed three months is
not valid here. The cue of the de
cision, as expressed by Chief Jus
tice Rossman, is that the one seek
ing the divorce had no intention J
of abandoning his Oregon domicile J
and acquiring a new residence in !
Nevada. This decision follows
those of some other states on the
same subject.
There is no doubt that Nevada
has exploited the divorce business 1
by requiring short residence (six j
weeks) and making very simple
the process of slipping marital !
moorings. Jr'or thai matter one
wonders why a person living in
Oregon should go to the trouble
and expense of moving to Nevada .
even for six weeks. Our residence
requirement is longer, - six months
- and we make no effort to attract
the "trade." But divorce here is
quite easy; not quite push-button,
but where the defendant does not
resist, very simple. So there really
is no reason to run away to Ne-

Negroes
Draft Call
Crow' Army
iPy - A negro union leader told con
is taken.
Appearing before the senate ;
aimed services committee, he and '
other negro leaders asked that !
amendments against racial dis
crimination and segregation be in- :
eluded in any temporary draft or ,
universal military training legisla-
tion.
"I personally will advise ne
groes to refuse to Tight as slaves
for a democracy they can not
possess and can not enjoy," Ran
dolph asserted.
His proposal for a civil dis
obedience protest against the
draft brought advice from Sen
ators Morse (R-Ore. ) and Bald
win (R-Conn. ) that he is making
a mistake and harming the civil
rights cause.
Must Face it Now
But Randolph, who recently
toldyPresident Truman that ne
groes would hesitate to shoulder
arms unless segregation were
abolished, declared that "We've
got to face this thing sooner or
later and we might as well face
it right now."
Randolph was urged by Senator j
Morse to reconsider his disobe
dience plans. The senator, an ad
vocate of civil rights legislation,
told the witness that this is not
the way to gain full civil rights. .
He asked Randolph if he were
saying that he would tell negroes
not to shoulder arms "in protec
tion of your country."
Doing: Country a Service
"That is correct," Randolph
said. "I would be doing my coun
try a great service. If it does not
develop the democratic processes
at home then it is not the type of
country worth fighting for."
And if the country goes to war?
Randolph replied slowly that
there is time to change the laws.
but if it were not done, he "would
recomrnend that negroes take no

Morse warned: "Then the doc

WASHINGTON, March 31 -(JP)
The house passed the $6,205,
000,000 foreign aid bill tonight.
The vote was 329 to 74. All four
Oregon representatives approved
it.
Aimed in larger part at block-
; ing communist expansion, it calls
for the largest overseas relief. and
1 rehabilitation program ever un
dertaken by any nation.
It includes $5,300,000,000 as the
first-year cost of the "Marshall
plan" for European recovery.
And it includes $425,000,000 in
outright military aid $275,000,
000 for Greece and Turkey and
$150,000,000 for China. China gets
another $420,000,000 in economic
aid.
Navy ta Deliver Planes
(The navy announced shortly ,
before the bill passed that three '
escort carriers will be used to de- !
liver planes to Turkey under the !
assistance program during the '
next few months. i
(The number of planes was not j
disclosed. But the 12.0O0 - ton car- '
riers can transport more than 100
planes each in 'ferry service.)
Besides the military and econo
mic aid provisions, the house ',
"package" bill includes $60,000,- j
000 for the United Nations child- :
ren's fund. j
2 Weeks After Appeal '
Today's vote came just two
weeks after President Truman's
appeal to a joint session of con- (
gress for speedy adoption of the
European recovery plan (ERP)
as one of three roadblocks to
communist expansion. I
Before voting on the measure
as a whole, the house reaffirmed j
by a 188 to 104 standing vote its t
invitation for Spain to join the '
Euronean recovery program along i
with 16 other non - communist
countries and western Germany.
Tbe entire $6,205,000,000 bill
is expected to go to President Tru- :
man for signature late this week
after senate and house agree on
comparatively minor differences.

The next move for ending the i
