JULIANA WED
TO GERMAN
PRINCE

THE HAGUE, Jan. 7 Q.N.S0.
Legally married and given a long
lecture on married life by the
burgomaster Of The Hague, Crown
Princess Juliana and Prince Ed
ward Bernhard Of Lippe-Biester-
field drove in state today to the
Grootke Kirke where the religious
ceremony was performed.
The greatest throng in the his
tory of the "City of Peace"
jammed its narrow streets, filled
its shop windows and covered it's
roof tops to cheer and sing as
the gilt carriage that bore Queen
Wilhelmina to her wedding 35
years ago carried Juliana and
Bernhard to the town hall.
There the ceremony was simple
and brief. The couple answered q
few formal questions, put by the
beaming burgomaSter, and then
signed the marriage book, followed
by their witnesses.
Then, just as Dutch tradition
calls for in the case Of the mar
riage of persons of any degree,
the burgomaSter solemnly deliv-
cred a homely lecture on how to
achieve happiness in married life.
Wild scenes of enthusiasm again
accompanied the couple as they
continued to the centuries-old
Gothic church.
Bride Radiant
Juliana was radiant, but Bern
hard was almost overcome in the
face of the great popular acclaim.
The Hague was so crowded that
restaurants charged Is cents for
admission alone.
Every vantage point was occu-
pied five or six hours before the
gilt carriage carrying the royal
lovers rolled through the streets.
Princess Juliana, who will some
day be queen, is 81. Prince Bern
hard, member of the ruling house
of an old German principality, is
a year and half younger. They
met at the winter Olympic games
in Germany and this, court circles
say, is a true love match.

No smoky kitchen when you fry with Spry. No

E. Claude Babcock declared today.
Babcock, formerly secretary OF
the Civil Service Commission and
later president of the American
Federation of Government En-
ployes, now heads the United
States Civil Service Employees, an
organization he formed in October,
which has grown rapidly.
In advocating general raises for
those in low brackets, Babcock de-
clared such benefits would cost
the Government no more than If
promotions were granted under

which is now legal. He said:

"The few raises that have
been made within the past year
have not come near to restoring
the salaries that held sway dur

The U. C. S. E. leader declared
that Federal salaries have grad

The employe leader said today
that automatic pay raises would
cost the Government about $180
per employe, eventually, but
pointed out that the Postal Ser

obvious improvement among its
employees.
He also pointed out that the
average salary of Government
workers would be extremely

it after removing capital improve

Bills already approved by COM

special appropriations recommended
in addition to the $438000,000 bien-

Because the governor decided to
remove all capital improvement
items from the budget, additional

HOLLYWOOD, May d.
(UP) = Leaders of striking
motion picture workers an
nounced downtown Los An
geles and Hollywood motion
picture theaters would be picketed
and placarded tonight in move
to boycott distribution outlets of
studios.
Charles f.. Lessing, executive
secretary of the Federated Motion
Picture Crafts, disclosed huge
placards were being prepared to-
day which read, Studios on Strike
DO Not Attend Theaters."
The placards are to be fastened
to automobiles which will be park
ed in front of leading theaters
showing pictures made at the 10
studios where workers affiliated
with the FMPC are on strike.
Plans have not yet been COM
pleted, but arrangements now are
being made to have picketS par
ade in front of the theaters, Less
ing said.
The strike leader said an appeal
also was being sent to labor or
ganizations throughout the United
States and Canada to establish
similar boycotts against theaterS
until the film producers grant
union recognition to groups affili-
ated with the FMPC.
Previously the strike had af-
fected only the 10 major studios
affiliated with the motion picture
producers and distributors associ-
alton.
The first placard to appear in
the studio picket lines was noticed
today at Metro Goldwyn- Mayer.
The huge sign read: Studios on
Strike, Respect Picket Lines, Don't
Scab."
At Paramount studio a brief
scuffle took place between a work.
er trying to enter the studio and
a picket.
The picket attempted to snap
picture of the man with candid
camera and the worker proved an
unwilling picture subject, knocking
the camera from the picket's hands.
The two men jumped at each other
and started throwing blows when
studio police separated them.

Driver Accused of
Running Beer,
Free on Bail

WINTERHAVEN May 4-John
Cano. driver for Lorang and Baker,
liquor wholesalers. was released on
payment of $100 bail late Monday
after his arrest on charges of run
ming beer over the state line at
Yuma.
He was arrested by Hugh H.
Hayden of the liquor control divi-
sion of the state board of equaliza-
ton Friday was set as the date
for the trial
Cano had been bringing liquor
from Arizona without his company
paying the required $500 importers
fee required every year, Hayden
said. He also sold the liquor direct
from the truck, the company MAIN
tanning no office in Winterhaven
but working out of a Yuma office.
The liquor brought across the line,
according to Hayden, was tax free,
causing another difficulty with the
authorities. The company, he said,
should operate under two licenses.
