finally a divorce was necessary.

is 47, demands separate mainten-
ance of $500 monthly. She and the
former chief justice were married
in Tarrvtown, N. Y., in February,
1930, shortly after he divorced his
first wife.
Branson opened his defense by
enterings, a demurrer which later
will be studied by the court, con-
tending that she had no legal
grounds for separate maintenance
because their marriage is not le-
gally recognized in Oklahoma. The
state divorce statutes set a proba-
tionary period of six months dur-
ing which re-marriage is illegal.
Branson’s second marriage was sol-
emnized three months after his
divorce.
Branson, who was expected to
rest his defense late today, pictur-
ed himself as an “old fool” made
submissive by the attentions of a
pretty secretary whose objective
was martimony and whose expen
sive tastes were a drain on his
hank account.

Fliers To Get

TROY, N. Y„ Aug 3 (UP) —
Meteorologists who watch vari-
colored balloons float into the sky
are responsible for the most ac-
curate method devised for guiding
airplane pilot throsugh hazardous
winds, according to Elbert F. Cor-
win, Densselaer Polytechnic Insti-
tute meteorologist, today;.
The new technique, with its nar-
nowed margin »f error, is ex-
pected to prevent pilots from en-
countering violent up-winds and
treacherous down-drafts that
sometimes suck planes into moun-
tain sides. It guides them by en-
abling tlie pilots to know at which
level they may fly to avoid the
currents.
Corwin said the new method
utilizes a geometrical principle,
determining the distance through
angles. Weather observers at pres-
ent base calculations on assump-
tion that balloons always rise
about 600 feet per minute.
