15O Youngsters Attend Clinic On Jobs Info

The first annual job opportunity clinic sponsored by the Gamma Nu Sigma chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was huge success. It was attended by some one hun dred and fifty students. The hign spot of the evening was the lns plr- ational summary given by R. Mau- rice Moss. The program consisted of talks by several presons engaged in personnel and guid ance work here in the State and outside.
 The purpose of the clinic was to give information concerning the possibilities of jobs in many fields. Vocational guidance questionaires were filled out by those present. The questionaires have not been tabulated so the results of them has not been released. They dealt with such questions as guidance supervision, vocational choice and pre- eparation and training for voca- tions.
 Pamphlets from State Inter-Ra- cial commission and Hartford Trade School were issued to those who attended.
 The talk by MT. Moss was a sum- mary of the speeches made by the others. He is the Associate Excu- tive Director of the National Ur- ban League and a graduate of Columbia University and the New York School of Social Work.

completely OverShadOWed hls sons wedding with a cOntinu- atiOn of his battle with the American press. The feud, originating from alleged mis- quoting of Robesons remarks at a Paris conference some weeks ago, moved on to local territory earlier this week with the arrival of the singer at LaGuardia Field after a tour of eastern Europe.
 The wedding ceremony itself, from which everyone was barred save members of the couples i'm mediate families, took place in the sunlit living room of Rev. John Darr, POO West 1O7th Street. The ritual was one which Rev. Darr later described as "non-sectarian, '' conforming closely to the usual ceremony but including portions Contributed from the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths.
 The bride, pretty in a silk print dress and white, short coat, with no hat or corsage, arrived with her mother, Mrs. Rae Greenberg, and her brother, Harold. They hur- ried into the building almost un- noticed, partly due to the stir ere Mted by the elder Robeson, who ar rived with his wife and son some 35 minutes earlier.
 The elder Robeson, whose pro Russian political announcements have brought him added interna- tional prominence, took the often give immediately upon arrival He greeted the news lensmen on the sidewalk with a blast at the "so- called democratic press" and pre- emptOrily forbade any picture-tak- ing, threatening to break the camera over the head of any pho tographer who dared to violate the ban.
 SS;AErs. Robeson Tn Accord
 His wife, Mrs. Eslanda Goode Robeson, later endorsed, her hus- bands stand when, while ejecting a couple of reporters who had en- tered the apartment to witness the ceremony, she declared that if any pictures were taken, it would he Gin spite of everything we can do to prevent it."
 The groom, wearing a neat blue suit, had nothing to say to re- porters, either upon arrival or lat CT when leaving with his smiling

bride. He appeared quite undis- turbed throughout.
 After the ceremony, Rev. Darr told newsmen that the ban on the press was the wish of MT. Robe son, ST. Previously, he had under stood that the press would be giv- en brief opportunity for photo graphs and interviews after the ceremony, he said.
 He had been engaged to perform the ceremony, said Rev. Darr, oy Robeson, Jr., about three weeks before. A young man himself, the minister revealed that he has known young Robeson for some time and has worked with him in the Young Progressive Organiza- ton of which they are both mem bers. Rev. Darr first met the bride, he revealed, when she had accompanied young Robeson on q visit to the Rev. Hewlett Johnson, Dean of Canterbury, last year. Rev. Darr explained that he had served as secretary and public re lations representative to the British notab1e-whose frequent praises of the Russian philosophy have earned him the name Of the Red Dean"-dur1ng the latter's visit to this country last Novem- Der.
 Robeson, Sr., and the brides mother served as witnesses for the ceremony, Rev. Darr said. The brides father, listed as Jack Greenbeng, did not attend the we'd ding for reasons unknown to the minister.
 Attempts to call the Greenberg home in Forest Hills. to talk to the father were unavailing. As soon as the phone started ringing someone apparently removed the receiver from the hook and re- fused to answer.
 Miss Greenberg first met young Robeson, it was revealed, when both were attending Cornell Uni versity where she majored in ps5 : chology and he in chemical engi- neering. No information regarding honeymoon or the young cou- ple's future plans were forthcom- ing.
 The wedding party, hanked by two uniformed policemen called from the neighboring precinct to clear the way through the crowd, left shortly after the ceremony in two taxicabs amid a chorus of boos from the predominantly teen aged throng in the street. An attractive blond woman, pat ting the head of her chubby tod dler son in the doorway of ner apartment, smiled pleasantly at reporters following the bridal par ty down the stairs and volunteered the comment that she thought the wedding was ga fine thing and things like it should happen more often."
 The elder Robeson's one direct statement to the press during the afternoon, made with a sarcastic smile, was: This {the wedding) | would cause no particular excite ment in the Soviet Union" New YOrk-Three hours after their wedding the newlywed Paul Robesons were found sitting in a l box at the Welcome Home Rally ] for Paul Robeson (Sr0 at the Roclland Palace here. Listening intently to speeches by some of
 the local figures most frequently linked with '.ieft-wing move
 ments," young Paul, in his shirt sleeves, his bride, her mother and
 brother, refused to talk with re- porters.
