No matter what the other at
tention of the day, a wedding
takes precedence in interest
among the family and friends of
the bridal couples. Wedding bells
have rung continuously since the
first day of spring and over the
week end members Of both
residential and service circles
smiled approvingly on the pro-
cession of lovely brides.
Historic st. Johns Church on
Lafayette Square was the scene
yesterday afternoon Of the we'd
ding Of a popular member Of the
younger set, when Miss Sita
Finkenstaedt became the bride of
Ensign Charles Whitney Price,
U. s. N. r.
The Rev. c. Leslie Glen, rector
of the church, who is on tenn
porary duty as chaplain in the
Navy, came to Washington to
officiate at the double ring cere-
mony at 4:30 o'clock. AS the
guests, representing all sets of
society in the Capital, assembled
in the church, an impressive
organ recital was given by Mr..
Grover j. Oberle. A simple clus-
ter Of lilies, white snapdragons
and stock decorated the altar and
as the service was read muted
notes Of the organ could be
heard.
Bride, Strikingly Gowned,
Is Escorted by Father.
The bride, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward r. Finken-
staedt, was escorted to the altar
by her father who gave her in
marriage. Her wedding gown
was unusually striking. 1t was
of lustrous white satin designed
on classic lines, with long close
fitting sleeves, yoke of exquisite
lace, and a voluminous skirt fall
ing into q long sweeping train.
Her tulle veil was held by a
Mary Queen of Scots cap and she
carried a cascade bouquet of
white orchids.
The brides attendants made q
springlike picture as they pre-
ceded the bride to the altar.
Their dresses of faille taffeta
were in gay shades of green and
yellow and were made with
shirred bodices. elbow-length
sleeves and very full skirts. They

The occupation of the German

one of the most significant
phases in the fighting of recent
days, followed an attack by So
Wet soldiers on one of many gar
risons hastily established by the
Germans in the sector between
the Volga and Don rivers, the
Russians said.

CITES BUTCHERY
THE Nazis and Japanese, he
said, "have butchered innocent
men and women in a campaign
of organized terror. They have
stripped the lands they hold of
food and other resources. They
have used hunger as an instru-
ment of the slavery they seek to
impose"
Allied policy is the direct op-
posite' he continued, adding:
United Nations forces will
bring food for the starving and
medicine for the sick. Every aid
possible will be given to restore

Henry O. Chapaton gave
fine report on the activity of the

received; likewise Ted Chapman
on the salvage work which has
been done by the local boy
scouts.
Schrieber's annual report on
scouting was we'll received, with
a present total of Alb scouts,
cubs, and adults registered in
the Macomb district. Schrieber
said that within the next 80 days
indications pointed that men,
bership would be ahead of last
year, and that scouting should
advance with rapid pace.
The finance report follows:
contributions received from re-

S2,344 in cash and 1888 in pied

All the figures were not in for
Utica, Romeo, Richmond, New

the county, but it was expected
that the total would reach 3d.

TO the members.
Representing the Girl Couts
was Mrs. Paul w. Mckee and
Mrs. A. Levine. Mrs. Mckee was
called on TO speak for the pro-
gress of girl scouting.
Rev. John Adams, pastor OF
the Methodist Church in Arm

ter distances through the deep,
yellow Tunisian mud from their
bases to the front, Germans and
Italians were strengthening po-
sitions with all they could move
up.
Allied reports indicated the
Axis senses that major Allied
drives to squeeze il into the sea
from both sides of its narrow
African foothold wait only on
clearing skies.
Continued pressure by British
patrols before Field Marshal
Rommel's Ell Agheila line, the
British communique said in Cal
70, apparently has put Axis ad-
vance forces in "a state of some
nervousness"
This was suggested also by the
enemy's use of tremendous fly
ing boats TO fly reinforcements
into Libya.
One six-engined plane was
shot down and two others were
damaged yesterday off the Lib
yam coast, the British war bulle-
tin said, and another four-en-
gined transport also was dam
aged.
The Nazis evidently have
pressed their greatest cargo and
passenger liners into aerial
transport service over the Medi-
terranean to ferry men to the
Libyan desert line beyond range
of the British fleet closely poll
cling the sea lanes.
These planes were not identi-
fled in the communique but,
presumably, they were Blohm
and Voss flying boats, 80-pas-
senger aircraft, which have been
reported only recently to have
been put to military uses.

Il just lay down and started
drinking water and fell asleep"
Tiny said.
RESCUED BY NATIVES
The next morning his teeth
were Gathering and his eyes
were swollen shut. He heard ma
tives shouting in Oxford Eng
lish. Native boys carried him 10
a village of about IS inhabit-
ants. There he bathed in warm
water, had his wounds dressed,
and was given rice and hot tea.
Tiny, who once studied at Ar
J ansas State Teachers College,
made a special point of observ-
ing native customs during his
nine-day sojourn at the village.
Women and men dressed
alike, bare to the waist, and
with a short skirt TO the knee.
This they kept on during daily
sWimS.
The men were about feet 8,
and women about five feet /.
Some wore earrings, and the
high chief, "Old Tom" had a
dollar-sized hole in each ear
lobe.
The young men and young
women didn't pair off in games
or for hurch attendance
Everyone over four years old,
including the girls, smoked
pipes.
RELIGIOUS GROUP
The natives vent en- masse to
the Church of England at dawn
and at sunset for services by a
native missionary. On Sundays,
all work stopped and the day
was given over to meditation
and chewing of sugar cane
stalks. In church, the women sat
in the front and sang in a high
falsetto, while the men sat in
the rear mumbling the songs.
The principal food, morning,
noon and night, was sweet po-
tatoes with a little beef, fish,
banana and pineapple, cooked in
a large communal pot. Most ate
standing up, cafeteria style.
Everyone got long just fine
in this Garden of Eden just a
short distance from the fight
ing" said Tiny, adding II didn't
once hear anyone raise his
voice, and everyone was happy
and contented and kind"

Several tanks were destroyed in

It was not disclosed how far
the Nazi tank and infantry
thrusts were thrown back, or
what the new battle positions
were along the Allied right
flank.
SECOND SECOND FRONT
A second Tunisian battlefront
appeared to be taking form to-
day as United States parachut-
lists and tank forces struck to-
ward the Gulf of Gabes, $50
miles south of the mired Tebour-
ba front, and the Axis rushed
troops by transport and glider
train to meet them.
Other German forces pushed
inland from their coastal bases
of Sfax, Gabes and Sousse to
meet the Americans whose
swiftly developing thrust threat
ened to cut off the Axis-held
bulge of Tunisia from Italian
Tripolitania.
