(VP) Marital discord has entered the lives of Cary Grant, leading man of the films, and his. bride of less than a year, Virginia Cherrill, also of the screen. The two were living apart today, the actress having gone to tbe home of her mother. "It's merely a household quarrel," said Grant in describing the cause nf their parting. "It is nothing serious, and I feel definitely certain we fix everything up today.

We had a little quarrel Saturday night when Virginia went over to her mother's home." The separation came as a com plete surprise to Hollywood in view of the fact they had made plans to leave together for Mexico City last Saturday to attend the opening td the Mexican National Theater. Grant, however, was unable to obtain a release from his studio to go. Grant and Miss Cherrill were married in England last February 9. BEITER SHUT BY SON SANTA ROSA, Oct. 1.

IP) The California Recovery Act, modeled after the National Industrial Recovery Act. is held legal in a decision on file today in the Court of Appeals. It was the first Appellate Court decision on the sub ject in the State. The legality of the State act was upheld in an opinion handed down by presiding Judge Albert Lee Stephens in which he denied the application for habeas corpus release of R. G.

Lasswell of Long Beach, charged with violating the code prescribed for dyers and cleaners. RIGHTS NOT INFRINGED Justice Stephens held that none of Lasswell's constitutional rights have been infringed. The decision was concurred in by Associate Justices Desmond and Scott. The case, in effect, had brought before the court the broad question of whether the codes of fair competition under NIRA are legal. Lasswell was charged with pressing clothes for less than the code prices, failing to post information in his shop regarding insurance of garments left for cleaning, and to have advertised he was conducting his establishment under the rules of the Blue Eagle.

POWER IS UPHELD Lasswell had contended the State Recovery Act is unconstitutional. Congress, his attorney held, had rm right to delegate the fixing o. cor!" regulating business to the President and the California Legislature had no right to delegate code administration to any individual or board The decision quoted from a decision handed down by the United State Sunreme Court in the Minne sota moratorium case, which was: "The economics of the state may justify the exercise of its continuing and dominant protective power not withstanding interference with contracts." West Virginia NRA Law Ruled Invalid WELCH, W. Oct. West.

Virginia's NRA law, placing the State's police powers behind the enforcement of codes, was held un constitutional today by Circuit Judge Beno F. Howard. Judge Howard said, the act is not a valid exercise of the State's police powers. His ruling was made in denying a petition of Prosecuting Attorney Wilson Anderson of McDowell County for an injunction to restrain C. G.

Killem. a sawmill operator, from allegedly working his employees more than 40 hours a week and paying some less than 28.5 cents an hour as fixed by the lumber and timber products industry code. The State's NRA enforcement act was passed by the Legislature in 1933 and was based on the National Industry Recovery Act. Provisions of the National Act were not involved directly in the case, however, as all Killem's operations are intra-state commerce. Market Robbed of Food Worth $114 Burglars who entered the market of Roy Ryan and Harry Martin at 5603 College Avenue, took groceries worth $83 pnd meat valued at $31, the proprietors told police today.

(KFNR KH 10 ROOSEVELT Fate of Democracy Lies With Britain, U. S. and France, Holds Premier By KARL A. BICKEL, President of the United Press. (Copyright.

1934. by United Press.) PARIS, Oct. 1. Premier Gaston Doumergue of France, in an exclusive interview today with the United Press, declared that the af eguard- of world dem-o a is in hands of three na tions the United States, Great Britain and France. Himself engaged in, a fight to preserve the last of the great strongholds of Euro a GASTON DOUMERGUE 0 a Premier Doumergue drew a car.

lei between his own efforts an. those of President Franklin Roosevelt. Like Roosevelt, France's good humored political peacemaker moving to concentrate greater ecutive strength in the hands the chief of the government, there is any divergence in parellel, it is on the currency tion. Taking a deffhite stand as an vocate of sound gold money, ar against inflation and artifice tampering with currencies, anr, pointing to his opposition to Social ism and Communism, France's leader directed my attention to the similarity of efforts by the French and American governments to find a way out of the vorld crisis without sacrificing the principles of Democracy which were born of their two revolutions. DICTATORSHIP SCOU "I am not a ir in sistcd.

In that phrase he summed up his efforts to provide a strong, central, democratic government withont the disadvantages of a dictatorship, bat modeled upon the Anirlo-Saxon system. His plan contains many points of strong resemblance to the Roosevelt policies of directing American political and economic recovery from Washington as a central point. In a series of radio talks with the French people, the next of which will come Thursday night, he has carried his fight directly to the French people. No single French leader since the days of Bonaparte has had greater support from the French peasantry. They trust him when he declares he hasij no de.cirp for rwrcnnal KuK merely wants the supreme governmental power concentrated in the hands of the prime minister.

POWERS REQUESTED Doumergue asks that he be given power to dissolve the parliament whenever such action beeomea necessary to check political in trigue; to place in the hands of the government alone, and to remove from the hands of the parliament, the right to propose taxation and expenditure; to curb the spendings of the parliament by forcing a continuation of the previous year' budget if parliamentary haggling prevents taking a vote at the proper time. In these phases, he outlined tha fundamental points of resemblance in the situations of France and the United States. "Wc are both democratic countries," he declared. with Great Britain we stand as the last bulwalks for Democracy throughout the world. France never has faltered in her belief in the complete loyalty of American popular opinion to the democratic system.

COMPARISON TO U. "You in America," he continued, "having discovered that to maka democracy effective and efficient, you must grant to the chief execu tivewho always is fundamentally under the final control of the peoplecertain great and expanding powers. "All that my program involves in a broad way is to bring into the French political system those elements which give thc chief executive strength; that have been the strongest and most admirable features of the democratic systems of government in the United States and Great Britain. "To a degree scarcely appreciated. uic iiunc ui dvbvc on me comment oi turope aencnas unon the oreser vatioh of democracy.

France toda is lighting to preserve the vestiges of that democracy. If France fails in that struggle, the rights and liberties of the individual and all advances in human freedom and culture that have been gained in the last century of unremitting the French people will have been lost. "In this struggle to preserve the democratic system, I envisage as well a battle to preserve intact the stability of the gold franc. "If France should cut herself adrift from safe and sound anchorage 'on the gold basis, and underwent another 'revaluation' by leav ing that standard, a chaos would exist in world currency. By de termining to remain for all tt is protecting her own currencyi for her own people, but she is preserving the savings of the world, for those nations which alrea'dy hlva cut their currencies loose frorri goM."

By HATFIELD fSfcmocratic Candidate's Plan Called Visionary by Lieutenant-Governor Nominee George Hatfield, Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, was in conference here today with a numberfof his friends and leaders in his campaign in Alameda County. Hatfield met numerous of his supporters at the headquarters of his campaign, 1432 Franklin Street. Various phases of organization and campaign work were discussed: Judge L. R.

Wcinmann of Alameda is county campaign manager, while Homer Buckley, chief city attorney of Oakland, is campaign airector. Hatfield reported that he has just returned from a trip through the Sacramento Valley and Northern California. He expressed himself as enthusiastic over the support accorded him and predicted a Republican victory in the November elects n. SINCLAIR ATTACKED The campaign promises of Upton Sinclair were attacked by Hatfield as "visionary." Referring to the Republican platform and the problem of solving unemployment and other questions facing the State, Hatfield said: "We are not fictionlsts. We are practical and serious Americans, seeking to cope with a practical and critical problem.

We cannot offer Utopia because we know from sad experience that Utopia is the never-never land of the dreamer and the visionary thinker. "But we can, by every practical means at our command, alleviate distress, revitalize our business and industrial life, and stimulate reemployment of our jobless workers. There is no magic short-cut from depression to prosperity, and there are fundamental problems to be solved if vrr are to achieve solidarity and economic security," said Httfield. 0 0 0 Avery C. Moore, Democratic candidate for Congress in the Sixth District at the primaries, will be a speaker tomorrow noon at the Sclots" Luncheon Club.

He will discuss the gubernatorial campaign and the issues between the Republican and Democratic candidates.

1 WP) The cabinet of Premier George Tatarescu which Went into office last January, resigned suddenly today. Differences between members of the cabinet caused the Premier to submit the resignation of the entire ministry to King Carol, who accepted it. At the same time the King entrusted Tatarescu with the formation of a new government. The cabinet of Premier Tatarescu was formed January 3, this year, and took office several days later after the resignation of Premier Constantine Angelescu's cabinet, which lasted only five days. The Angelescu government was hurriedly formed after thc assassination of the former Premier Ion G.

Duca on December 29, 1933. A member of the anti-Semitic Iron Guard shot and killed Duca. Tatarescu's cabinet, which just resigned, was substantially the same as that of Premier Duca. an uproar today in the Central Courthouse, when Raymond Hubert, formerly a lawyer for Serge Stavisky, was attacked by a Royalist lawyer, Georges Cateant.

They went home and called the police.

Patrolman George A. Gaukroger went out there this morning, and made a careful Inspection of both housetops, but, although he admitted he didn't know what a trace of a sea-serpent would look like, he insisted that he didn't find any. YES, NO SEAWEED "Just a lot of shingles," he said. "Not even any seaweed on them." Neither Mrs. Smith nor Mrs.

Orio had been aware that there had been a sea-seprent's field day on their roofs last night, they told Gaukroger, and said if they had known it was going to occur they would have refused to allow it. Gauk roger found that the dry bed of Sausal Creek runs near both homes, arid suggested that the sea-serpent might have come up the creek in the vain hope of finding some water in it. He admitted that this didn't explain why it had leaped over the roofs. "Probably has something to do with the hounding main," he said, "but I haven't got It quite figured out yet." The appearance of the sea-serpent as a second-story worker in East Oakland came while official, semi-official, and unofficial posses were attempting to hold a sea-serpent rodeo in eastern Contra Costa County, where it has been reported several times recently slithering along auto roads near the tules. It has also been seen in Bodega Bay and the Sacramento River, but last night was its first appearance in the air.

Gaukroger hopes it will be its last. We're not equipped to handle such cases," he said. FARMERS FORM CHICAGO, Oct. 1.0J.R) American farmers are organizing for political gains, just as the American Legion and union labor successfully have done, Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, revealed today.

The Farm Bureau, which claims to represent a million of the. farmers in this country, has inaugurated a campaign to "back our program with ballots." State units already have obtained pledges of support from candidates, irrespective of party, in return! for endorsement by the farmers' organization, O'Neal said. "The farmers just ripped along year after year, but doing nothing to help themselves," he said. "With the AAA, that can be changed."
