CHURCHMEN STUDY CURB ON DIVORCE That Only One Ground Be Recognized Will Be Offered. By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, April 13.—A recommenda- tion that only one ground for divorce— violation of the seventh Commandment —be recognized by the Presbyterian Church in the United States will be made to the Sixty-ninth General As- sembly next month in a report of the denomination’s ad interim committee on divorce, which was made public here today. The assembly meets May 16-23 at Montreat, N. C. Deploring the “Increasing disregard of the sanctity of the marriage tle,” the report also will advocate that pas- tors give training for marriage a con- spicuous place in their programs; that they be enjoined from re-marrying any but innocent parties to divorces and that they be warned that in performing marriages “they are chiefly accountable to God and therefore have the right to refuse to perform a marriage which in their judgment does not have divine mctlnn.;’h % The urch now recognizes twt grounds for divorce, infidelity and desertion, but only one ground for re- marriage—that of the innocent party Where the cause of the divorce was infidelity. In its recommendation the report ex- ressed the committee’s convinction that the scriptural authority for deser- tion is ‘not eclear and eonvincing; that there are other grounds such as cruelty | and brutality ‘which make a stronger :g peal as munda for divorce and thlt e divine ideal of marriage is “the Lord’s principle and statement that m-rrhfe is a life long, indissoluble union for better or worse, by one man wtl;‘: one woman to the exclusion of all of Calling attention to the number of hasty marriages and lack of unmmn divorce laws, the report blames ‘“the life of our age” and says that the trou- ble cannot be reached by superficial remedies. It recommends systematic training, with the family as “the natu- ral economic unit where the right training in marriage is given.” TWO CHILDREN, GASSED, REVIVED BY FIREMEN | Members of the rescue squad of the fire department early today revived two young sons of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Kalavrtinos in their home at 209 Massa- chusetts aventue, after John, who is 4 years old, had accidentally turned on a gas jet in his bedroom before retir- ing, the escaping gas uve.rcmml him the gas and investigat boys unconscious and awakened his par-" ents, who opened the windows and sum- moned the rescue squad.

By the Associated Press. N!W YORK, April 13.—The portrait of “La Belle Ferronniere,” on the ori- gin of which a jury of laymen failed to agree after a prolonged trial filled with technical testimony in Supreme Court a few weeks ago, will have to go on trial again, Supreme Court Justice Wil- liam H. Black ruled today. Justice Black denied a motion by Sir Joseph Duveen, art collector, that the $500,000 slander-of-title suit brought against him by Mrs. Andre Lardoux Hnihx: m:l Kansas Cit,yid;)‘wn;rhu( l:e painting, be dropped. ahn con- tends that the painting is from the brush of Leonardo da Vinci. She sued Sir Joseph because he said it was not. In his 15-page opinion, Justice Black said that on a retrial it was probable that another jury might reach a ver- dict quickly. He said he believed there ‘was sufficient evidence before the jurors to enable them to reach a verdict. “I' have profound respesct for critics whose conclusions rest upon facts,” Justice Black wrote. “What they say should be carefully considered by & 0| jury. The opinions of any other kinds of experts are as ‘sounding brass and’| tinkling cymbals’ Some of them ex- pound their theories largely by vocal expression and gesture. Others wander into a zone of speculation founded on nothing more tangible than psycholog- ical correlation. “There are also experts who admit they have no formulas, rules or ability to produce any artistic thing, but who claim to have a sixth sense which en- lbla some of them after ‘they have seen & picture for five minates to defi- nlmy'detemlne ‘whether it is genuine or not.” DR. 6.
