Partial lllctory in Court Bill Claimed

WASHING/ION, 33-11;; Roosevelt administration contended today its defeated Court Reorgan-

ization Bill was a partial success in that it induced the Supreme Court to interpret the constitution more liberally.

VA spokesman for the President himself told newspapermen that since the bill was proposed, the Court. feeling the influence of the ensuing controversy. had reversed ltelf on vital points.

In addition, while the Unligd States Congress talked of adjourn- ment in mid-August. or earlier, he i renewed the administration's plea. for enactme“ of wage and hon;- legislation, a farm program and a ' housing bill before the end o; the session.

If Congress should adjourn without disposing of these measur- es, he made it clear the President i; reserving a decision on calling a national legislature into special ftoosirpn 1n October to attend to

Survey Of Maritimes To Be Made By Air Officials.

-__.__. (C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

MONTREAL, July ZS-Jrrans- Canada Alr Lines’ coast-to-coivt Canadian flying service will not be established until a suitable weather forecasting system has been set up, Philip G. Johnson, vice-president in charge of operations, said to- day.

After an initial survey flight of 2,550 miles from ‘Vancouver to Montreal. Johnson said such a qystcm was cf “paramount" neces- sity. "Thls service." he declared. "must be made available before regular sdicduled air service can commence."

The vice-president conferred to- day with PmsiNnt S. J. Hunger- ford and other directors of the new company. A statement later said they dlscrsscd existing landing facilities, plans for new facilities and general plans for the initia- tion of a training program for pilots, co-pllota and ground per- sonnet.

Training will be undertaken as soon as arrangements can be made. the announcement said, with the tinting program probably centred at Winnipeg.

The vice-president said he plan- ned to continue his survey flights to other sections of Canada. in- cluding the Maritimes. The At- lantic provinces are not to be in- eluded in the service at its out- sct—thc original stretch will ‘be between Montreal and Vancouver ——but the Maritime: will be brought in later.

The federation‘; board of direc- tors likewise opposed special luvs for women "since we believe sound legislation should be based on the nature of the work and not on the sex of the worker."

NURTH CHINA,

Chinese Army Divis-j ion Withdrawn, But Nanking D e n ies Japanese Report Re

Agreement.

TOKYO. July Zk-(Saturday) -—-(CP-Havas)—A War Office communique outlining agree- ments reached with North China local authorities, coupled with reports that .Tokyo would send a special emissary to ne- gotiate a complete new settle- ment with Nanking, were tak- en here today as evidence of substantial improvement in Sine-Japanese relations.

(By ‘The Associated Press)

PEIPING, July ‘xi-Chinese and Japanese hatreds in North China, at boiling point for 16 days, ap- peared tonight to have cooled en- ough to make war in the near future unlikely.

Reported withdrawal of the Chi- ncree 37th Division from the Palp- ing area changed the complexion of s. situation WliiCil has been close to war since soldiers of that unit and Japanese first clashed 10 miles west of Pelping the night of July 7.

tAlthough Japanese Army ofllc- ers announced withdrawal of the 87th southward has been complet- ed. I-Iavas said it was reported the stubborn, anti-Japanese troops of the division had refused to quit the Marco Polo bridge and the “sacred soil" of Wanpinghsieu un- til Japanese forces fell back to Fengtal.)

Is Peace Factor

The withdrawal agreement met Japan's most urgent. condition for restoration of peace and marked beginning of Chinese fulfillment. of the four-year series of locaL-mlll- tary agreements by which the Japanese Army has steadily streng- thened its power in North China.

The Japanese assert this agree- ment tvas made between their High Command and GcncralSung Chen-Yuan, head of the semi- autonomous North Chino. regime. They said he accepted its terms orally Sunday at 'I‘ientsln, then confirmed them in writing Monday at Peiping. The Japanese vcrslon said it provided for:

lpElimination of persons “im- peding" Sine-Japanese relations.

2. Complete suppression of Com- munlsts.

3. Btricter control of anti-Japa- nese organizations and anti-Japa- nese education.

t. Evacuation of the 37th divis- ion of General Sungfls 29th Army, which the Japanese said was hos- tile to them.

(Japanese reports said the Cen- tml Chinese Government had ac- cepted General Snngs pact. At Nanklng, however. officials said the Nlmklng Government had not even seen the pact and could not have approved ltl.

Experienced observers bclicvcd the North Clilna situation still held the seeds of grave trouble. Thev “lei Jgparrsmllitary strength there had been more than doubledJvhile there was no assurance of success in future negotiations seeking set- tlement of deep-rooted Chinese- Japanese clashes of interest.

Law Relaxing String-

f ent Marriage Act Is

i Adopted After Long Struggle.

LONDON, July 23—-(CP)—I1egls- lative action on one of the great social reforms of the century was completed by Parliament today when the House oi’ Commons gave third reading to the Matrimonial Causes Bill. .

Tumbling “walls of Jericho“ that had stood for 80 years, the act. now requiring only Royal asscn’. the law in the light of . the greatest happiness for all in . marriage rather than in rigid ad- T herence to the conception of mar- riage as a lifelong monogamous union.

It widens the grounds for div- orce to include desertion, crueltyi and insanity, sets up a three-year i period following marriage during! which no petition for divorce shall be entertained, broadens the grounds for annulment of mar- rlage to protect innocent pct-sons from the consequences of wrong:- doing by the other party prior to marriage, and makes it the busi- ness of the courts to look to the prospects of reconciliation of div- orce case principals and to the welfare of any children \\‘i\OS(‘ in- terests might stiffer.

The bill strikes at the conniv- ance. condonatlon and collusion so widespread under the old law~thc "hotel bill" subterfuge so vigor- ously denounced by the Archbishop of Canterbury when the measure was before the House of Lords-fl and removes from law what has l come to be known as "legal black- l mall" by giving the respondent in divorce cases the right to apply for a decree nisl to be made absolute.

Hitherto sometimes the petition- er has refused to make such ap- plication, leaving the respondent neither married nor able to marry again.

The new law will become effec- tive Jan. 1, 193R. 1t will apply to England and Wales only. Scot- land and Northern Ireland have their own marriage laws.
