I E Washington, May 22 (U.R) The supreme court s newest di vorce ruling today spurred con gressional supporters of a uni form federal divorce law. The high court, by a vote of 6 to 3 yesterday, gave all states the right to invalidate divorces of its residents obtained in other states. ' The black-robed Justices dif fered among themselves as to the effect of the decision. Justice Hugo L. Black, in a lengthy dissenting opinion, de clared the decision would sub ject the nation's entire 5,000,000 divorced persons to "the danger of criminal prosecution." Immediately Sen. Arthur Cap per R. Kan. announced he would resume his fight for a federal law covering divorces in all 48 states "in the very near future,." A constitutional amendment would be required since the con stitution gives to the states all rights and powers not specifical ly granted to congress. Congress was not authorized to rule on marriage and divorce.

FIRST ARMY NOW ON WAY PACIFIC Washington, May 22 (U.R) The pace-setting American 1st army will lead the way for Yanks in Europe bound for the Pacific. First to land in France, first to invade Germany, first across the Rhine and first to meet the Russians, Gen. Courtney H. Hodges' fighting first will add another record to its resounding list by being the first major U.S. fighting force to transfer to the Pacific. . The war department an nounced last night that the 1st was already "on the move" to the Pacific via the U. S. This presumably meant that advance units had embarked from France for the United States where they will be given furloughs before going on to help finish the job in the Pacific. Child Mortality Rate Is 1 Out of 2 Cairo (U.R) Mortality rate among children under five years old in Egypt has reached one child dying' in every two born, according to the Infant and Ma ternity Welfare department re port to the ministry of public health. To reduce the rate, second highest in the world, health authorities suggested more in fant and maternity welfare cen ters and a rise in cultural and economic standards of the people. Authorities also advocate a tax on bachelors and a family allowance to encourage marriage. DEATHS, EPIDEMIC STILL RULE NAZ T Dachau, Austria, May 22 (U.R) Death still stalked Dachau to day, 25 days after its liberation. For the inmates of this notori ous concentration camp, libera tion has meant little. From 60 to 100 men still are dying daily. Another 3,000 are almost hope less cases. The corpses left by the nazis have been cleaned away, but their places have been taken by new rows it bodies. Typhus, typhoid, dysentery, and the effects of a starvation diet are taking their toll. The camp's new chief doctor, Frank itche Flaha, estimated today up to 3,000 of the prisoners here are still close to the danger point. Twenty-four hours a day smoke curls from the stubby cre matorium chimneys. But the furnaces can not keep pace with their grim task. A trip through a dozen crowd ed, darkened wards showed row upon double-decked row of men whose emaciated bodies were atrophied beyond the point of taking new nourishment, whose eyes were dulled beyond hope of revived life. SMITH NEW HEAD Salt Lake City, May 22 (U.R) The Latter Day Saints (Mor mon) church today had a new leader to direct- the religious activities of its nearly one mil lion members. George Albert Smith, president of the church's council of 12 apostles, was ele vated to the presidency last night, succeeding Heber J. Grant.
