Chicago Judge Is Expert On Divorces Cooling Off Period Reported Successful CHICAGO IUP > — A Chicago ] judge, expert on divorce law, is ]so encouraged by the success of {'his “coding off period" that he ] is' ready to tackle another aspect of the divorce problem. Julius H. Miner, formerly' Cir- ’ cuit Court judge and now as- ' signed to the Criminal Courts division, was a prime mover in setting up a 60-day waiting period after filing of a divorce suit and employing judicial counseling durf ing that period. Miner says his next step will be, to work for laws abolishing ’divorce -decrees" in uncontested? i cases involving children. His new plan would allow de-' fault decrees only after the Case had been through a marriage clinic and after the judge had full facts on what would be done for the children. Miner fought for his 60-day cooling-off law through the Illinois Legislature and the state Supreme - Court before it was finally upheld in 1955. j The 61-year-old land happily married i judge made an eloquent plea to the Legislature. "My courtrexan is a cesspool of ’crime," he said once "I break ]up homes, demolish families, tear children away from their parents —there is nothing constructive, in my courtroom.” His cooling-off law, as finally i passed, provides that the partner seeking divorce must file a notice or precipe, stating the intention; to sue. .] I During the 60-day period which ] must then elapse before a complaint can be filed, the judge | calls in both parties and “talks ] tqrkyy.’Jf ®e discusses the probdr '<>f. ’thfcir children, points out that financial problems will be even worse, tries to get at the ] root of their’split. Miner said that in 1957 there were 11384 notices filed in which ' no complaint followed: “It will take time for the idea to find wider acceptance." he said, "It hasto he developed with ] , the proper temperament of the courts taken into consideration. ' SimUq.r laws are now on the books in New’Jersey. Washington. Michigan. lowa and Utah.

Aulo Insurance To Continue Increase Speeding Is Listed As No. 1 Problem CHICAGO (UP) - American; motorists are literally speeding to-' ward increasingly higher bills for i automobile liability protection, in-' surance men said today. Many already are paying more for insurance than for the gasoline that propels their high-horse-power cars into bone-crushing, metal-crumpling collisions on the nation's highways. The tab went up in three-fourths of the nation last year. Insurance company spokesmen said it will go tip again this year in many states. Joseph S. Gerber, Illinois director of insurance who recently au-

They said it costs more to repair a bumper today than it used to cost to repair what the bumper was supposed to protectThe National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters has compiled reports showing that 37 states authorized increases in the bodily injury basic limits premium level during the first nine months of 1957.

Only three states — Delaware, I Minnesota and Vermont — countered the trend with decreases during the same period. 1 Th increases ranged from 1.4 . per cent in Utah to 30-2 per cent ■ in California. They exceeded 20 per cent in 16 states. Illinois, which granted a 19.9 per [cent boost ih April, followed with 1 an additional 31 per cent increase ' in November. Gerber pointed out that the increases were Illinois’ first since 1951. During that six- [ year period most other states au- ■ thorized from four to six step-ups in rates. J Figures quoted by Harry H. Fuller, manager of the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters’ [ midwest office, showed that 35 ! states authorized premium boosts for private property damage in auto mishaps during the first nine ' months of 1957 ! In 17 states the increases exceeded 10 per cent. Five states , directed decreases. Trade in a good town — uecatur
