Redisricting Meeting Held DORR1S. March 30 A public hearing was being conducted in Yreka, Siskiyou county seat, today on a proposal by the county board of supervisors to redlstrlct the county.

The eastern portion of the county contains more than half the Siski you population- but has only two seals on the board of supervisors, while the western portion, with less population, haa three.

The 39-year-old Ross held the lightweight. Junior welterweight, and welterweight Utles before serving In the Pacific area with the marines. On Guadalcanal, he won Uie Silver Star and Presidential Citation for gallantry. "It's high time something should be done for our people In Palestine." Ross said.

Move Puts Hundreds In Doubt The Orrgon state supreme court today ruled a Nevada divorce grant ed an Oregon man invalid and put a dark cloud on hundreds of other Reno divorces and subsequent re marriages exlatlng among citizens of thla state. The high court upheld on all counts a Portland ruling made sev eral months ago by Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg of Klamath Falls in a test case that Multnomah county judges had kept hands off for almost three years. Judge Vandenberg was substitut ing on the Portland bench when he made the ruling. The decision was given in the case of Mrs. Anna Kelley against Emery B. Kelley, both of Portland. Husband Sned Over three years ago Kelley sued his wife for divorce in Portland and she entered a counter suit for separate maintenance. Judgment was made in her favor. Whereupon Kelley went to Reno, Nev- January IS. IMS. and got his divorce decree three months later. When he got the decree he re turned to Oregon and was Immedi ately made defendant in a auit brought by his wife to test the valid ity of Keller's Reno divorce. The ease hung fire on the Multnomah docket nnUl it waa banded Judge Vandenberg several months ago. After a trial he ruled that Kelley's Nevada decree was Invalid because Kelley hadn't actually changed his legal residence from Oregon to Nevada. He went to Reno for the sole purpose of getting a divorce, and returned to Oregon. He established the fact that he had not changed his legal residence by voting in an election on a registration made prior to the Nevada stay. Support Awarded Judge Vandenberg awarded Mrs. Kelley a separation and 810 t month support money. The case was taken on up to the state supreme court and today that body upheld Judge Vandenberg's ruling. "The decision means that most Nevada divorces obtained by Oregon ciUzens aren't worth the paper they are written on as far aa Oregon is concerned,'' a high court official said. There is no estimate of the num ber of Oregon people who hold Nevada divorce decrees, obtained by establishing the six weeks" residence in that state, but today's ruling ap parently would nullify most of Uie decrees. Many persons holding such divorce decrees have later re married and in the eyes of the law could be held guilty of bigamy. A unanimous decision was handed down by the supreme court, the first dealing with the subject of Nevada's divorce law which requires only six weeks' residence. Effect ot the ruling is that an Oregon citizen can not go to Nevada just to get a divorce. Oregon will not recognize the decree unless he actually changes his residence to JusUce George Rossman wrote the decision. Lt. Gen. Helge Jung (above), Swedish military commander-in-chief, was accused by Rnsaian newapapers of planning to build bases on iiwediah soil for U. S. planes and parachute troops.

Hopkins, attorney for the chief of the United Mine Work ers, had argued barely IS minute when Cm-ran ruled. Lewie did not appear personally to explain why he should not appear before the board of Inquiry. Curran told Hopkins the court had been lenient In granting Lewis an opportunity to "show cause."

Wallace Accuses Truman Of Leading Americans Into War WASHINGTON. March 30 (IP) Henry A. Wallace said today the Truman administration created a "false crisis" and Is deliberately leading Uie American people to ward war. "I charge." said Wallace, "an artificial crisis was deliberately manufactured to stampede congress and the people Into accepting uni versal military training and con scription." The third party presidential can didate denounced administration policies In a 6500-word statement prepared for the senate armed services committee. The committee is hearing testimony for and against UMT and a temporary revival ot the wartime draft to back the ad ministration's new halt-Russia pol icy. Wallace's testimony was distrib uted to reporters several hours be fore Mr. Truman struck out anew Inst night at his ousted cabinet of ficer by suggesting that he go to Russia. The president spoke extempor aneously at a dinner meeting of Cu eek-Americans. He declaret' that his country "never wants WBr." "But," Mr. Truman asserted, "there are certain things which are worse than war. One ol them Is slavery." Among accusations the former vice president leveled In his pre pared statement at the chief ex ecutive and his policy makers were these: 1. The current International cris is was "concocted" not only to pro-" mote big business, but also to stave off an economic crisis at home. 2. Forced labor for workers will result from a demoralization pro gram. 3. The administration "is arming us for a war without limits or In hibitions a war as dangerous for ourselves as It Is for others." 4. The administration's military policy Intends to Impose "military control of every kind." 6. America Is threatening the se curity of the world. Wallace said "our country Is in danger." But he Insisted the dan ger comes from our own policies 'which will bring war unnecessary war upon our country. "The crisis lies In the war fever Itself not In real threats of Inva sion, but In the synthetic 'threats of Invasion' pumped out to support the arms program, x x x"
