Lisbon, Apr. 1. Dr. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Premfer, in a statement issued on the installation of the new executive committee of the official party, "Uniao Nacional," affirmed that Portugal was ruled by a constitutional Government. He de nled charges of dictatorship.
He said that the country's constitution was affirm- ed by the people through a plebiscite; the head of the state was elected by direct vote, an as- sembly handled the legislative function; and the judicial part of the Government was in- dependent and not appointed by the president, as in American republics.

Mr. Frederick Raymond Weatherley said today that he guessed he had better see his lawyer before he talked about further moves to free himself of his wife, who had renounced all but the social ties of their marital life. Yesterday the House of Lords ruled that Weather- ley had no grounds for divorce for desertion because Mrs. Weatherley was "finished" with normal married relations.
