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
