laps May Offer MacArfhur
Lifetime Stale Guest Status
By the Associated Press
TOKYO, May 15.—The Jap
mese cabinet today reportedly
liscussed a measure to offer Gen.
JacArthur the status of “lifetime
tate guest’’ of Japan.
The Tokyo newspaper Shimbun
eported the story. The paper said
he bill would be referred immedi
itely to the Diet (Parliament) for
iction on cabinet approval.
Kyodo news agency reported the
abinet had failed to reach a
lecision on the bill today. Kyodo
aid opinion was divided only as
o the language of the bill—
vhether to say “lifetime state
:uest" of “state guest of honor.”
Kyodo reported that the bill was
limed at creating a system of
tate guests, by which Gen. Mac
^rthur would be the first to be
iffered the title “to perpetuate in
he memory of the Japanese peo
)le his great service to Japan.”
Bill to Make Insanity
Grounds for Divorce
Here Faces Rejection
By Don S. Warren
Proposals that Incurable in
sanity be made a ground for di
vorce here apparently are facing
rejection by the Judiciary Sub
committee of the Senate District
Committee.
At least, the pending bill will
have to be revised drastically if it
is to gain a more favorable recep
tion, members said.
Such a bill was offered by re
quest recently by District Com
mittee Chairman Neely. It had
been indorsed a year or two ago
by the directors of the District
Bar Association but since has en
countered objections from asso
ciation members.
Wants Membership Polled.
Jean Boardman, chairman of
the association’s domestic rela
tions committee, in fact, predicted
at a hearing yesterday that the
uai aoouvituauu uicmucioiuyi wuuiu
vote against the bill if a test was
made. He said no action should
be taken until the bar association
membership has been polled.
He said the bill had evil aspects,
since no divorce should be granted
except to protect the innocent
party to a marriage.
Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina, subcommittee
chariman, said he could not go
along with the present form of
the bill.
A sharper attack was made by
Senator Welker, Idaho Repub
lican. an experienced divorce case
lawyer, who warned witnesses “I’ll
never vote for this bill.”
Psychiatrists Hesitant.
Dr. Addison Duval, first assist
ant physician at St. Elizabeths
Hospital, testified that medical
and psychiatric groups generally
support the principle of the
proposed bill. But he said there is
hesitancy by psychiatrists to say
when a patient is incurable.
A different view came from Dr.
Roger S. Cohen, who testified for
the bill for the District Medical
Society, although he agreed some
of its provisions might be modi
fied.
Opposition to the bill was voiced
by Dr. James E. Hayden, director
of psychiatry at Catholic Univer
sity, a veteran of 23 years of med
ical practice.
Two Men Cleared
In Gaming Indictment
Two men who figured in the
famous “transom peeping” gam
bling case several years ago today
stand cleared of other gambling
charges on which they had been
accused in an indictment returned
last month.
The indictment, in which a
total of seven had been accused,
was dismissed yesterday by Chief
Judge Bolitha J. Laws of District
Court. Dismissal was on Govern
ment motion because of lack of
evidence.
The Government lost an impor
tant point in the case last month,
when District Court Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff held that the search
warrant used was invalid.
Among those cleared were Earl
H. McDonald, 42, of the 3800 block
of Tenth street N.W., and Joseph
F. Washington, 54, of the 1200
hlrtplr nf Mnrsp Ktrppt. N F. hnt.h
colored.
A gambling conviction against
them several years ago was set
aside by Supreme Court. That case
was known as the “transom peep
ing" case because police looked
through a transom before making
arrests. The Supreme Court held
the raiders had entered the house
illegally.
The other five persons who now
stand cleared are:
Samuel R. Williams, 38, of
Brentwood, Md.; Eugene R. An
drews, 40, of the 1800 block of
Benning road N.E.; Frank H.
Strother, 34, of the 1800 block of
Thirteenth street N.W.; Frank B.
Moore, 42. of the 400 block of R
street N.W., and Addie E. White
head, who lived in the house where
the raid was made. All are colored.
