His German Bride Home For Visit

friends. The blue was a blue
handkerchief she carried during
the service.
After having been united in
the customary German fashion,
they were remarked by the
American authorities, in the
same church, but with a more
simple ceremony. This took place
on AugusS 26.
The newlyweds had only one
day together after their wedding,
and in four days they left for
the United States.
The festive fashion in which
the Germans celebrated, consist
ed of a three-day celebration,
with approximately 300 guests at
the wedding.
Attending the reception din
ner at the brides home were
twenty close friends and rela-
tives of the family. The home
was decorated with flowers, fur
nished by the family.
Mrs. Hennelore Porch was
educated in the schools of Karl
sruhe. She attended a language
school and speaks English very
distinctly. She was married on
her sixteenth birthday. Some of
the lovely gifts which she
brought to America with her
were a set Of Rosenthal China
ware, coffee service, the brace
let and brooch to match the gar
net necklace which her mother
gave her, a three-set pearl ring
with matching earrings, and
many other family heirlooms.
Mrs. Porch has one brother,
Bernhard Greiner, who is seven
teen, and her mother and fos-
ter-father, left in Germany. Her
father was half-French and was
executed in 1945, by the Ger
mans. while imprisoned in a Ger
man concentration camp. She
said that the rich in Germany
are no better off than the poor.
No matter how abundant any,
thing is, they don't have enough
money to buy it. 1t was for this
reason that her mother-in-law
sent her enough satin to make
her wedding dress.
Sergeant Porch was educated
in the Roanoke Rapids schools,
and was graduated from the loc-
al high school with the class Of
1945. He entered the army right
after his graduation and has
served in France, Belgium, Hol-
land and Germany.

To Task On
Palestine Talk

ABOARD truman campaign
train, Oct. 25-(AP)-The Pales-
tine Problem got a top place in
1948 presidential campaign dis
cussion today as President Tru-
man began a big city wind-up Of
his "give 'em hell'' bid for cleo.
ton.
He chose the Chicago Stadium
for a major speech at 10 pm.
which his associates said would
emphasize what he considers the
threat to democracy at home Of
a Republican victory.
The president worked most Of
Sunday at Washington on this
speech, and on others to follow
nightly, at Cleveland, Boston,
New York, Brooklyn and St.
Louis. And he worked too, on
statement in which he claimed
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, COP
nominee, had injected the Pales-
tine issue into politics.
This statement, in which he
reiterated his support of a De-
mocratic platform pledge Of ''full
recognition to the State Of Is
rael," was released at the White
House few hours before the
President, Mrs. Truman and
Margaret boarded the campaign
special train for the last round
up Of Democratic votes.
Mr.. Truman's Palestine state.
ment was a reply to a letter
which Gov. Dewey wrote Dean
A1fange, chairman of the Am.
erican Christian Palestine Com
mittee Of New York.
Gas you know" Gov. Dewey
wrote on Oct. % in response to
letter from Alfange seeking
reaffirmation of a COP platform
pledge, II have always felt that
the Jewish people are entitled
to homeland in Palestine which
would be politically and economi-
cally stable. My views have been
clearly expressed over the years,
and I did, indeed, approve the
majority report of the United
Nations special committee which
recommended a partition Of Pa
lestine," he added his position
today sis the same"
The President said Of this OBJ
servation:
Il had hoped our foreign af-
fairs could continue to be handl-
ed on a non-partisan basis with
out being injected into the pre-
sidential campaign. The Repub-
hcan candidates statement, how
ever makes it necessary for me
to reiterate my own position with
respect to Palestine.
II stand squarely on the pro-
vision covering Israel in the De-
mocratic platform" he went on
to point out this government re-
cognized this independent state
of Israel May IA and said De
Jure recognition will follow when
a permanent government il
elected. He said he had direct
ed government agencies to ex.
pedite applications for loans to
Israel.
Mr.. Truman's statement added
"The Democratic platform states
that we approve the claims of
Israel to the boundaries set forth
in the United Nations resolution
of Nov. 20, 1947, and consider
that notifications Hereunder
would be made only if fully ac-
ceptable to the state of Israel"

Paris, Oct. 25-(AP)-An au-
thoritative source said today the
big three Western Powers had
rejected a Russian counter-pro-
posal to end the Berlin dead
lock.
United States, British, French
and Neutral delegates considered
the Russian plan for an hour at
a meeting in the apa. IN Al. I.
Juan Atilio Pramuglia, Argen-
tine Foreign Minister and acting
president Of the Security Coun-
ell.
After the decision was reach
ed against the Russian plan, Bra
muglia went to tell Andrei Y.
Vishinsky Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister, the western answer.
The delegates, more serious
than usual, went Immediately to
the Palais De Chaillot for a
meeting of the Security Coun-
Gil, which was delayed two hours
for their conference.
Bramuglia was reported to
have tried to convince the neu-
trails and the western group
they should accept a new draft
he prepared after he saw Wish
insky twice last night.
1t wa said the Western Pow
ers would not accept it all and
insisted on standi- : on the reso-
luton of the six small powers
now before the council.
DR.. Philip C. Jessup, U. S. de-
putty delegate, said mo COM
ment" to all questions. He said
he was bound not to say a word.
The other delegates likewise
refused to talk, saying they had
to hurry to the council meet
ing.
Bramuglia went to the Rus
sian embassy, where Vishinsky
was reported waiting to hear
te answer of the Western Pow
ers.
Bramuglia said before the con-
I ference he considered the
chances for acceptance of a COM
promise settlement Slightly bet
ter" than they were Saturday.
An authoritative source said
Bramuglia believed his new pro-
posal might at least have as
sured a Russian abstention-
rather than a veto-when the
final vote is taken.
The only proposal before the
council as it met in the Palais
was the six-yower neutral reso-
luton presented last Friday.
The council hall was packed.
Western sources said they
knew of no pan to change the
resolution which was. aimed at
breaking the east-west deadlock
without fixing any blame for
what the western powers termed
a threat to peace.
There still was no indication
what Russia will do but western
sources predicted the council
would reach a vote on the reso-
luton offered by the six neutrals
by late this afternoon.
Bramuglia led off the morn
ing's behind-the-scene m.neuvers
by receiving DR.. Philip c. Jessup
of the U. S. Then he saw the
British and French delegates.
The Western Powers have ex-
pressed their approval Of the
plan.
An authoritative source re-
ported Saturday night, however,
that Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. Vishinsky had
rejected a vital section Of the
proposal. It was not known whe-
ther that was the Kremlin's final

administration was offering an intensive
course of study in agriculture to veterans
who wanted it. He laid the program of the
veterans administration before the local
veterans. Since that time it has not been a
matter of selling the program to the veter-
ans. Instead, the program has sold itself to
the point that there are classroom facilities
and instructors at Fromberg for but little
more than half of those who are vitality
interested in enrolling in the courses Of
fered.
No One Plays HookY
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, when
class roll is called, the records show an
average attendance of from 90 to 100 per-
cent. This, when some students drive as far
as 80 miles over roads which may be either
snow covered or heavy with mud. TIL As
enrollees in the night school split into two
classes, one group meeting in the Fromberg
school agricultural building, the other in a
rented shop building.
The one group takes up, in lectures and
discussion, all practical phases of livestock
feeding and management, soil conservation,
cereal crop management, irrigation and crop
rotation. They study crops suitable to the
locality, such as orchard crops, beets, beans
and alfalfa. During this time, the other
group is learning, from a competent instruc-
tor, all manner of blacksmith work, welding,
machinery repair, motor overhaul and the
like.
On afternoons when the men can leave
their farm work at home, they take field
trips where the classroom studies are dem
onstrated. Aside from this, the program of
work at Fromberg and all the other cooper
ating schools offering on-farm training
throughout the nation, requires from so to
100 hours of supervised instruction to be
given on the farm. This supervised instruc-
ton may take the form of a drainage pro-
