DIVORCE CASES

“Both Parties Equally To Blame”

(Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, August 10. In almost every divorce case, both parties can be blamed equally, the Rev. Christopher Veazey, of St. Silas’s. Nunhead, said in his parish magazine, according to the “Daily Mail” today. Mr Veazey said it would be morally wrong to accept the legal definition of “innocent” and “guilty” when considering the problem of remarrying “innocent” partners in divorce cases in the church. He said: “We must not differentiate in this matter. “A husband deserts his wife; O.K. But we find that from the day after the wedding she has been nagging him and making his life, a hell. A wife has committed adultery; very good. But do we know that the husband has been coming home drunk three times a week for years?”

Mrs Eisenhower’s Health.— President Eisenhower said today that his wife's physician had advised her to take things easy, and that she was resting in bed. Mr Murray Snyder, assistant White House press secretary, later confirmed that Mrs Eisenhower was not ill, “merely tired”—Washington, August 9. Sir Leslie Munro’s Return.— Sir Leslie Munro, the New Zealand Ambassador to the United States, is returning to Washington from London on August 13 with Lady Munro. They visited Paris last week and stayed with Miss Jean McKenzie, Charge d’Affaires at the New Zealand Legation. This week they are visiting Norwich. —London, August 10.
