Yreka, Siskiyou county seat, today

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

Boss Beats
Deadline By
Ten Minutes
WASHINGTON, March 30
(AP) John L. Ltwit today
bowed to a federal court order
and appeared before a presi
dential board inquiring Into
the soft coal strike.
Lewis, flanked by mora
than 20 aides, walked into tha
board' chamber at approxi
mately 10 minutes before tha
meeting was to begin at 11
a. m. (EST).
Federal Judge Edward M.
Curran had given Lewis this
choice: Either to appear at tha
hearings, which Lewis had re
futed to do voluntarily, or
face a possible heavy fine or
jail term for contempt of
court.
Lewis told the board he appeared
"under compulsion."
The conference room of the labor
department waa crowded when the
chief of the United Mine Workers
showed up. Lewis strode solemnly te
a chair. Photographers went Into
action aa he sat down.
Outline Asked
Judge Sherman Mlnton. head of
the board of inquiry, asked Lewis
if he would be good enough to out'
line his position In the pension dis
pute which has shut down opera
tions in Uie soft coal mines.
"I might say that I am here to
day under the compulsion of a de
cision of Uie United States court,"
Lewis said.
"I have no particular statement
to make other Ulan responding to
interrogation."
Curran acted quickly after Lewis'
attorney raised Uie question of ade
quate time to reply to the summons
and challenged the constitution
ality of the Taft-Hartley act.
Welley K. 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."
The Judge said that In his opinion
he could have directed Lewis to
appear before the board without
the formality of today's hearing.
