Trial of the divorce suit of James White, jr., Athens manufacturer and capitalist ggainst Mrs, Agnes Hood White was begun in Clarke Superior court this morning with Judge RBlanton Fortson presiding. The plaintiff charges the defend ant with mental cruelty which is denied. Through examination of witness eg this morning attorneys for Mr. ‘White sought to show that by con stantly irritating her husband, Mrs. White caused him to become ill of duodenal ulcer — commonly known as ulcer of the stomach. Dr. Robert Cathecart, a physici an-surgeon at the Charleston, S. ~ hospital where Mr. White was seriously ill last year said upon ex amination by Abit Nix, of Mr. White's legal staff, that worry is a pre-disposing cause of duodenal uleer, from which Mr, White suf fered. Upon cross-examination by Reuben Arnold of counsel for the defense, Dr. Cathcart said almost any kind of worry, however, could produce mal-digestion - and - ulti mately a duodenal ulcer. A short recess was ordered at 11:30 by Judge Fortson after which the day nurse at the hospital in Charleston where Mr, White was ill last year was cajled for exam ination. The nurse, Miss Mary.

FLYAN WAR PROFITS PUAN 1S ASSAILED Bernard M. Baruch, Head of World War Industries Board, Makes Attack. By PRESTON L. GROVER Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. -~(#)— Bernard M. Baruch today assailed the “Flynn plan” advanced by the sen ate munitions committee to take the profits out of war. He said it would “abolish the present econ omic system in war.” John T. Flynn, writer on econ omic subjects and adviser to the committee, has drawn a plan to limit industrial profits during war to three per cent and individual incomes to SIO,OOO. Captains of industry would be under army dis cipline, and could be sent to the trenches if they “failed to cooper ate.” Called a plan to “pay as you fight,” the program was attacked by Baruch in these words: “It is clear that business and industry is in large part activi tated by the spending and invest ment of income and that if a war government takes all of income, it will not have to worry about pay ipg for the war. It will not be there to pay for it. Either its con querors or the commune will have that problem.” Baruch, a New Yorker financier who headed President Wilson's World War industries board, has proposeéd a plan of his own to re capture excess war profits, and his ideas were drawn upon in the drafting of the MecSwain bill, which has passed the house.
