Nelson Frierson, University of South Caro t lina law school, said today. - The decision in the case of Had dock vs. Haddock, used since 1906 e to uphold our state law forbidding divorces, was reversed Dec. 21, r 1942, by the federal supreme court on the full faith and credit clause of the U. S. Constitution. The case of Williams vs. the State of North Carolina brought the situation which makes divorces granted in other states valid. Wil liams and Mrs. Lillie S. Hendrix - left their respective spouses and de e parted for Nevada. After living in a trailer camp for barely six weeks, each filed suit for divorce on prac c tically the same grounds. The'same r lawyer handled both cases. Mrs. c Hendrix sued for divorce on grounds of "mental cruelty." Wil Sliam's wife and Mrs. Hendrix's hus :, band were not represented. 3 After obtaining a divorce and e publishing notice of such in a local paper, Williams and Mrs. Hendrix f immediately married (and it was r about time) and returned to North Carolina.

The charge was "bigamous cohabi tation." The federal supreme court re versed this decision. The full faith and credit clause states that public acts, records, and judicial proceed ings of one state must be recognized by every other state. Justice Robert H. Jackson, in his dissenting opinion, stated the Su preme Court decision to be very de moralizing. Dean Frierson declared the de cision to be "devastating on the state policy of South Carolina." He said that the state courts may gct around this decision on the grounds that "if a citizen of South Carolina has deserted his wife to obtain a divorce in another state, the wife can bring action by an injunction to stop or prevent divorce action in the other state on grounds that he is perpetrating fraud on her and also by alleging that his permanent legal residence (domicile) is in the other state when it is in truth and fact in South Carolina. "After he obtains his divorce in that state and returns to South Car olina to live, the divorce may be at tacked in this state on grounds that the court which granted the divorce has no jurisdiction to grant it, be cause the plaintiff in the divorce action had never changed his per mianent legal residence to the other state granting the divorce; but that .S WHAT THI BACK UIP TE MeAm IuNmr PP7 r4 Army Colonel Gives Plan For TraininO Proposal Made To Use College ~ Bases For American Armed Forces Lt. Col. Harley B. West of the war department general staff has disclosed a plan for large-scale con version of American colleges and universities into training bases for the armed forces. West told a meeting of the Mid dle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools that stu dents will be selected from "young men in the army who have demon strated aptitude to receive such higher education," and that they will live under army discipline and receive regular army pay while in training. Dr. Edmund E. Day, president of Cornell university, announced as many as 250,000 service men will be sent to colleges under the plan. Military representatives empha sized the government will not take over any colleges to which service men will be sent for courses last ing from nine months to more than two years. "Any relation between the armed services and collegiate institutions is going to be purely voluntary and there is to be no requisitioning," West said. Joseph W. Barker, dean of the Columbia school of engineering and special assistant to Secretary of the Navy Kaux, told the educators, 9 "There is no desire on the part of either the army or the navy to dic tate to you what you must do. We are hoping to give you a maximum of leeway in presentation of mate rial and a maximum of academic freedom." Juniors, as well as seniors in ed ucation may iww take practice teaching, Dr. Ellison M. Smith, dean of that school announced to day. his domicile remained at all times in this state," Dean Frierson said. Thus state courts may be able to prevent a "flood" of divorces as granted by Nevada and other states with comparatively lax divorce laws. EY WANT WRITE LETTERS
