Much the same thing has long was the opposition of that fusty, crusty old institution, the Church of England, to Edward VII's desire to marry a divorce which helped bring about the only abdication of a British ' : in history. i Thus it is significant that it is the church or more accurately, a group of its leading members which today is calling for a sweeping reform of British divorce law to bring it up to date with modem life.. An unofficial report prepared by the group at the request of the Archbishop of - Canterbury proposes the abolition of the present system of "grounds" and the Hbeling of one spouse as guilty apd the other innocent. ' In. place of the three existing grounds (adultery, desertion and mental cruelty), it recommends but one reason for divorcethe breakdown of the marriage. The function of divorce courts, would be "judicial inquiry into the fact and causes of the 'death' of a marriage relationship." According to the group, this would reveal divorce as it actually is "not as a reward for marital virtue on the one side and a penalty for marital' delinauencv on the other, not as a victory for one , mon-var- by divorce reformers in this country. Such a- doctrine of "marital breakdown" would eliminate all of the hypocrisy, most of the collusion, at least some of the heart-brea- k and a great deal of the bitterness now attending divorce cases, as well as depriving scandal sheets of their chief source of spicy reading. Unfortunately, it would also deprive a lot of lawyers of a lot of income. It will be interesting to watch, over the course of a century "or so, what use the British make of the report.

Appropriations Committtee is 87, IN LBJ's LAP-- As an alter-nat- e k to. a rigorous regime, Mansfield offered to hold 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. sessions from Monday to Friday, inclusive. Meany and Reuther, with Vice President Humphrey's baclang, turned this down. In an unannounced conference with President Johnson, the AFIrCIO chiefs asked him to induce Mansfield to agree to keep the Senate in unbroken session in an effort to batter the filibuster into submission. The President took this request "under advisement." He said he would discuss it with .Mansfield and the other congressional leaders at his weekly conference with them next Tuesday. In another backstage compromise move Mansfield made the following proposal to Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen, III., who has agreed to lead the filibuster: The administration's repeal bill to be ; laid over until next year -- on the understanding the opposition will then allow it to come to a vote. After talking it over with his group, JDirksen informed Mansfield the plan was unacceptable. The opposition now has 27 senators committed to participate in a filibuster, 15 prepared to speak as often and as long as called on. Seven others are ready to help when needed.
