Second Wedding Is Performed on
 Bleak AIeutidns

Miss Ruth Love- of Cairns, North Queensland, Australia, completed the last leg of her 5000 mile air trip when she landed at the Adak Airport Adak, Alaska, just nine days after she left Australia
 Miss Love undertook the long journey to become the wife of James E. Miller, chief metalsmith, USN, of 315 West Park blvd, North Canton, Ohio, who is serving at the Naval Operating Base in Adak.
 The bride-t to-be was greeted on her arrival by her fiancee, Chief Miller, Captain Dale Harris, Con- manding Officer of the base, and by Commander J. M. Oseth, the Executive Officer.
 After her arrival, Miss Love and Chief Miller were driven to the U. s. Army Headquarters to ob- tain their marriage license. The party then proceeded to the Quonset- Hut Chapel of the Ship Repair Unit, at Finger Bay, where a double ring ceremony was per- formed by Chaplain R. E. Jenkins, USN. The bride was attended by Mrs. E. w. Meredith, the wife of z shipmate of the groom. R. w. Caplinger, chief boatswain's mate, USN, acted as the bridegroom's best man.
 The bride carried a beautiful bouquet of red roses which were presented by Mrs. Dale Harris. The flowers were a very unusual gift in the Aleutian Islands.
 After the ceremony, Mrs. Miller was taken to her new home and carried across the threshold by her husband. Her new home is a converted Quonset Hut. It is "A feet wide by 48 feet long and has been very attractively furnished by Chief Miller, who has had to use considerable ingenuity in obtaining such things as window curtains and drapes.
 It seems symbolic and indicative of a long, happy married life to- gether for the Millers that the double ring ceremony was perform ed at a place called Finger Bay. . This was the first marriage cere- mony performed in the Chapel and only the second such ceremony performed among Navy personnel of the Island of Adak, in the bleak Aleutians.

some of the tough features of the House Bill, then I can tell you now that the Senate will not accept them.
 We're wasting our time talking here unless we approve something acceptable to the Senate" warned Taft.
 The Ohio Senator added that he was confident he could muster enough votes (two-thirds majority to override Presidential veto If the first labor bill was similar to that already passed by the Senate.
 But the same doesn't apply to the House bill" he continued. We cant get enough Senate votes to override veto of anything approx imating that
 Reaction to the Taft plea varied. Tough talking COP Congressman Fred Hartley of New Jersey, author of the House bill, and fair-minded Gerald Landis of Indiana, agreed to 'go along Both, however, later put up a strong battle against the new National Labor Relations Board setup provided in the Senate Bill
 Democrat John Lesinski of Michi- gan, a staunch New Dealer, demur- red. He declared that both the Sen- ate and House bills were punitive" though the House measure was "oo- viously far worse" However, he defended ono part of the Senate bill-the establishment of judicial boards. as part of the National Labor Relations Board.

 Working from the data gleaned from the Bikini bomb tests, the Navy is beginning to redesgn its surface ships Guns will be aimed from below decks larger guns have been for quite some anyway Ammunition will be fed up to them automatically. Navigation and the entire handling of tomorrows man of will be carried from protected spaces

 But they should not mourn unduy. For the change in ships of from the age of INT to the age of atom will be very materially less of wrench than was the transition from sail to steam One might go back through the decades and not so very far to find plenty of old salts who had only sullen dis approval for the sleek steel ships of time.
 For them, blowing white sails were the only proper silhouette of fighter ship And yet sea going men of these years equally devoted to the grim outlines of turrets and stacks.

The Annual Flower Show of the
Woman's Reading Club was featured
in the lovely flower garden and spa
cious lawn of Mrs. Cecil Clements
on Friday afternoon May 16, at five
o'clock. there were guests from Goo

Besides the beautiful flowers bloc
ming in the garden there were tables
of roses, petunias, lilies, english dog
wood, larkspur, queen AIMS lace and
many others to enchance the place
with their beauty and fragrance.
The judges were Mesdames Wea-
therall, Winborn, Durham. There
were first second and third prizes
and many blue ribbons were award

to the pleasure of the occasion was
group of small children dressed as
dainty little flowers, and fairies, who
sang and danced and filtered about
in happy merriment.
Delicious fruit punch at the close
proved very refreshing and was SER
we'd by two junior girls, Ann Neaves

In Detroit Boat Accident
By the Assoeiated Press

DETROIT, June 1.-Two young
men and a girl drowned in the De-
troit River last night and another
girl managed to swim to safety as
their rowboat overturned near an
excursion steamer.
Police identified the dead as John
Shesko, %; Norman Hcffer, Ii, and
Evelyn Smith, Is, all of suburban
ECorSe.
Eighteen.year-oId Shelia Dupuis,
also of Ec0rse, struggled to small
island nearby. Picked up there
by a small boat from the steamer
Columbia. owned by the Bob-Lo Ex-
cursion : TO-, she told of seeing her
three companions go down.
The accident occurred shortly aft
er 7 pm. 3nd Coast Guardsmen and
Detroit police tried until dark to
recover the bodies.
Miss Dupuis told her rescuers the
quartet had been riding near the
Columbia ito get a roller coaster
thrill" from the waves.
I'VE thought we were far enough
away to be out of danger" she add
ed Then a huge wave hit the boat
and filled it. The boat capsized. I
had the feeling of going down, down,
down"
Capt. Charles Anderson of the
Columbia said the drowning was
witnessed by some of the crew of
his steamer, making a routine run
to Bob-Lo Island, an amusement
park about Is miles down the river
from the Detroit piers.
