By the Associated Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 6—Offi- cials of the Home Protective Ascociation today claimed they had more than the required number of s‘gnatures on peti- tions to prevent the new 90-day divorce law of Arkansas going into gffect next ‘Thursday. Dr. A. C. Millar, president, said about 11,000 signatures had been obtained. The petitions are to be filed with the secretary of state Monday or Tuesday.

Under a clause of the State constitution, 6 per cent of the voters may initiate a repeal measure in the 90 days, following ad- Journment of the Legislature.

By the Assoclated Press For efficiency’s sake, Renrcsentative Ramseyer believes the next Congress should dispcse of part of its job. | ‘The Iowa Republican thinks the legislative branch does too much “one- man” work. For that reason, he would favor a move to require that private | pills now handled by Congress be settled through a Government agency. “It is poor business,” Ramseyer sald, “to send a man to Congress, where he is supposed to look after the interests of his constituents as a whole, and then expect him to judge, intelligently, the merits of the thousands of private bills that are introduced. He should be thinking about policy instead of indi- vidual awards for damages.” l At present, the United States Court of Claims settles suits orginating from contracts. Such cases as that of the man who asks damages from the Gov- ernment because he was injured by a postal truck require special legislation. ‘Thousands of the llttfi bills are intro- duced, many die each.
