D. . DIVORCE BILL CHANGES VISIONED Palmisano Agrees to Confer to Get Measure on House Calendar. Important changes in the contro- versial bill to liberalize the District's divorce laws are expected to be made at a conference late today between Representative Carpenter, Democrat, of Kansas, and Representative Palmi- sano, Democrat, of Maryland—two members of the Judiciary Subcommit- tee of the House District Committee who have been unable thus far to reconcile their differences Carpenter is sponsor of the more lib- eral divorce measure of the House and Palmisano is chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee, where the proposed legislation has been battered around for the last several months. Both have been at odds for some time over | features of the bill, particularly provi= sions that would allow an absolute ! divorce on grounds of cruelty and in- ‘These two mc together this to compromise differences, but Palmisano was forccd to postpone the conference until later in the dey be- cayse of the prescurc of other con- gressional affairs. Palmisano was in a conciliatory mood and indicated thV[ will agree to certain changes that will | make it possible f-r the full District| Committee to repcri the bill favorably at its regular meeting tomorrow | Carpenter said he is anxious 1o get full committee approval of the meas- | ure tomorrow because that will make it possible to nave it placed cn the House calendar in time for cons:dera- | tion Monday, the tcntative date fixed | for the postponed are 13 other Di bills oo the| House calendar, however, and it is seriously doubted if the divorce bill, st the bottom of the list, could be reached in time for passage. Since Palmisano said that an abso- lute divorce on grounds of cruelty | might make Washington another | Reno, Carpenter has indicated, some- what reluctartly, his willingness to compromise in order to assure pas- sage al the current session of Con- gress. rict day. There | He said that if forced he would | agree to an amendment gradually | limiting divorce on grounds of cruelty | for a period of two years, after which, if the couple had not reunited, the innocent party would receive an abso- lute decree. Insanity Provision Debated, That change alone, it is believed will remove Palmisano's objection. Palmisano, however, said he had not definitely made up his mind as to the wisdom of a provision allowing an absolute divorce for “incurable mnsanity for a period of five years.” He does not feel it would be proper to separate a couple at the very time in life that one would need the other | most or the aid of the other most 85 in the case of insanity. In addition to the divorce bill the full District Committee tomorrow may begin reconsideration of the widely criticized erime report.

BERLIN, July 9.—The picturesque university fraternities of Germany may become only memories. The German Students’ Union (“Verein Deutscher Studenten”) in- dorsed Von Schirach’s decree that no Hitler Youth member may continue to belong to students’ “corporations” or fraternities. The Nazi war on fraternities, which is seen as a fight on the wealthy in- dustrial fathers of the youths, began July 5, when the famous old Borussia Fraternity Chapter at Heidelberg Uni- versity was suspended for two years because the members had discussed humorously Hitler's manner of eating asparagus while Der Reichsfuehrer was delivering a serious speech in the ; Relchxl.lg May 35.
