simple but sonorous single-ring Epis-
copal ceremony. John Roosevelt and
Anne Lindsay Clark were married at
noon today in an ancient church close
by the sea.
While the President and Mrs. Roose-

feet from the flower-bowered, white
satin-covered altar, John and Anne
took the VOWS that removed the last
bachelor from the Roosevelt family
and gave the Clark family its first
married daughter.

short canopy leading to the porch and
dark-paneled vestibule of the Vine
covered church

ley, dapper in blue coat and white
flannels, was an early arrival, as were
Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs
Henry Morgenthau. Mr.. Farley and
Mr.. Morgenthau gayly waved their
straw hats as police struggled to keep
the pushing crowd behind the rope
lines.
BY 11:15 a crowd, lined off around
the church. was estimated by police at
5000. An unidentified woman COL
lapsed and was carried by police to a
nearby house.
Several score guests already were in
their pews before the President walked
down the gangplank of the Potomac

up in front Of the church is minutes
before the ceremony. Holding his

greeting but did not remove his white
panama hat until he neared the
church door.
With Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt were
their two grandchildren, "Sistie" and

man, Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., beat
the ceremony deadline at the church
by exactly minutes. Avoiding the
crowd, the two leaped rope barrier
and darted into the rear of the church.
BY this time the crowd outside was
In q gay mood and burst into echoing
