H. A.

COURT UPHOLDS i INSANIH LAW — Upholds Law Making Incurable Insanity Cause For Divorce Indianapolis, Dec. 22. XU.PJ— The Indiana supreme court today up- ! held constitutionality of a 1935 law ' establishing incurable insanity as a cause for divorce. Brought by the state to determ-' I ine status of the act, tho case was I expected to affect many Indiana | couples. Prior to 1935 divorces ! could not be obtained on grounds of insanity. State's attorneys attacked the statute on ground it was “vague and indefinite,” that the words “incurable insanity" have no definite i and established meaning within j the law and that certain sections ; were “incomplete and unenforce- | able." The statute provides that in ordI er to obtain a divorce on the basis ! of insanity, it must be proved that I the insanity is incurable, the ini sane person must have been com- ' mltted to a hospital for at least five years, and the divorcing party shall not be relieved from contrihuing to the support and mainteance of the ailing person, 1 In an opinion by Chief Justice Walter E. Treanor, the high court said that "it is true there is no rule or law which purports to define ‘incurable insanity.’ The law, however, does recognize the reality of insanity as a mental state or condition, the existence of which is capable of being established by evidence, and attaches many legal consequentences to the existence of this mental state. “* * * The words 'incurable insanity’ have a factual meaning which is definite and tangible enough for legislative or judicial cognizance. The law dreams of the absolute but must be content ' with the approximate and relaI tlve." The court said it saw "no lack , of definiteness in the phrase ‘duly ' and regularly committed to and : I confined in a hospital or asylum

: for the insane.’ ” The state had maintained that i the ‘support and maintenance’ pro- ' vision of the act was Hot enforceable but the court replied: “There is no apparent need for j an enforcing provision. The effect of the ‘support and maintenance’ provision is to leave unim- j ; paired the legal duty of the one | securing a divorce. Such duty can ; i be enforced on behalf of the insane person by whatever procedure ■ would be available prior to the; granting of the divorce.” o | SPECIAL SESSION (CONFINUED FROM PArtE ONW> r gross into action. “It is very well for the President | to say industry does not fear his program but 1 know what the peo-! pie generally have said to me,”. Sen. William H. King, I).. Utah, said. “The people are afraid of I what the government and congress : will do and of what it will not do.” | Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y.,l said it was “impossible to take the President's statements on the economic situation seriously any longer.” "Confidence can be restored overnight," he said, “if the President will stop attacks on business and' balance the budget.” Rep. Pat Boland. I)., Pa-, sup- 1 ported the president's criticism of newspapers by saying that "there is no doubt that the press is engendering a lot of fear in people." Sen. Royal S. Copeland, I)., N. ; Y.. said that “there must be, in | ' my opinion, a convincing statement I to business that it is to have a real chance.” The end of the special session! was the most colorless in many. : years. Almost empty galleries and I only eight senators watched Vice 'President John Nance Garner ! crack his gavel against the desk | for adjournment sine die after; I passage of the housing bill amend-1 i ments, designed to bolster the | president's program for private investment in buildings. The farm bill and the housing amendments went to conference between the house and senate over' ; the holidays in an effort to adjust I differences and clear the way for final approval early in January. Chairman Key Pittman, !>., Nev., of the foreign relations commit toe, said he believed foreign affairs would play an ever greater part in senate business at the I regular session and that there will ■ be "a very much broader” neutrality policy under discussion. Asked if be felt that the Presij dent should be given greater authority in regard to tho nation's attitude toward foreign conflicts, Pittman replied: “Personally, I would say yes.
