Special Dispatch TO The Star.
CHICAGO, November IL (N.AN-A).
The fair for the unexpected for which
the Dawes family has established a
reputation has provided the latest SEN
sation in Chicago's society circles.
Mrs. Caroline Dawes Ericsson, daugh-
ter of Ambassador Charles G.. Dawes
and Mrs. Dawes. was revealed today as
the sponsor of an unusual wedding at
which a hundred North Shore social
recisterites mingled ioyously with their
buffers and gardeners and housemaids
and cooks. The foreign-born servants
forgot their shyness as they frolicked
in an "Old Country" festival to cele-
brate the wedding of the Ericsson chauf-
feur, one-time butler to the King of
Bulgaria, and his bride, a Croatian emf
grant girl.
When Lausanne Gergov, for II years
the Ericsson chauffeur, confided his
matrimonial plans, the daughter OF the
former Vice President decided suddenly
upon the wedding in her own home.
She persuaded Gergov and his bride-to-
be to invite all their friends. Then, by
telephone, Mrs. Ericsson hastily sum-
moned 100 Of her friends.
With the American religious cere-
mony done, the wedding guests repaired
to cottage on the Ericsson suburban
estate, where the Bulgar festival got
under way. Then the Ericsons left
for their town apartment, leaving the
bride and bridegroom to be sovereigns
of the country place for few days as
part of their honeymoon.
During the World War Mr.. Ericsson,
then an officer in the United States
Army intelligence service, was sent to
Sofia where In the Royal Palace of King
Boris he encountered Gergov, took a
liking to him and persuaded him to
come to Chicago.

CONGRESS FACING
MUSCLE SHOALS
Problem Likely to Be Among
First Considered at
Coming Session.

The old legislative question of What
to do" with Muscle Shoals will be one
Of the first problems to confront the
coming session of Congress, according
to plans formulated yesterday.
Last June Muscle Shoals legislation
was deadlocked In conference and to-
day Senator McNary. chairman of the
Senate conferees, said he would call a
meeting to consider the situation on
the first working day of the next ses..
sion. The often discussed question OF
the merits of Government and private
operation of the Alabama power site
viii be reopened.
McNary's Statement.
McNary said that he thought that
the Senate would not recede from some
plan of Government operation. the
Senate passed the Norris bill for Gov
eminent ownership and operation at the
last session by a comfortable majority.
The House, however, rejected that
measure and passed one for private
operation.
Five House conferees and three from
the Senate talked for several weeks
without arriving at an agreement, al
though several compromises were sug-
gested.
McNary said he thought the elections
showed plainly the water power ques-
ton was taking shape as one OF the
most important to be settled.
Election Results Cited.
Representative Reece of Tennessee,
who proposed private operation OF
Muscle Shoals, was beaten in the cleo
ton, His attitude on Muscle Shoals
was commended by President Hoover,
but an independent Republican who ad-
vocated Government operation OF the
plant defeated him. Senator Norris,
Republican, Nebraska, long a sponsor
Of Government operation, was reelected
In that State.
Senator Fess, one of the Republican
leaders, said today he favored private
operation of Muscle Shoals If that were
possible, but would vote for Govern
Inent operation before he would let
the power there go to waste.
