 The only other attendant was Miss Toby Steinhilber, sister of the groom. They wore light blue taffeta dresses with small pointed collars and bustles and rolled cap sleeves. Each wore a cloche of the same material trimmed with a. net bow. They carried bouquets of talisman roses. Little Linda Wolf, second cousin of the groom, was flower girl and wore dress and bonnet of ice blue taffeta.
 Best man for the wedding was the Rev. Winfield Blo,lnt, and Charles Holsinger was usher Music at the wedding and recep- ton was provided by friends from the Northwestern chapter of Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship. of which both MT. and Mrs. Cudney were officers
 The bride was given in marriage by her mother, Mrs. D. B. Femmer who recently returned to Juneau after being the house guest of the Cudneys since May. Mrs. Femmer wore navy blue sheer with white accessories. The groom's mother wore a dashau crepe dress with white accessories. Both wore purple orchids.
 Twelve orchids used at the wcd- ding and rehearsal supper the night before were a gift of Miss Janice Ching, dormitory friend of the bride. They were airmailed from Honolulu the day before the wedding.
 The bride was feted at several pre-nuptial parties. Showers were given by Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship and Rogers house girls. Also, a party was held at the groom's home.
 The young couple drove to Cape Cod and Boston for a two-week wedding trip. On the return trip they visited with Miss Lucille Palm, who visited in Juneau last summer, and Miss Connie Davis, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Trevor Davis, in Michigan.
 MT. Cudney is now employed in Chicago at the Hazeltine Radio and Television Research Corporation. MT. an Mrs. Cudney are at home at 305 Harrison Street, Oak Park, Ill.

British Socialist Takes Rap al America = Dollar
 Conference Talk
By the Associated PreSs)


 Chinese Communist troops were reported today 140 miles from Can- ton, Nationalist provisional capital, They pushed to the Kwantung pro- vincial border after capturing three cities in southwestern Kiangsi pro- vince. Canton is the capital of hwantmg province.
 Alter cutting across mountains, the Red war machine rolled along highways leading south of Kukong, an important railway point, l25 miles north of Canton.
 Observers said the Communists might isolate Kukong. It is an inn portant Nationalist defense point. Nationalists said the Communists dared not move too speedily. te- cause strong Nationalist forces are on their western flank.
 A British Socialist, Will Nally. lashed out at American critics of the British Socialist program in the Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France. He said in debate on European social conditions:
 We are not going to have the bases of social security in Britain strained by the threats of small number of powerful people in America"
 Some British negotiators arrived in Washington yesterday. They will begin preliminary discussions with American officials tomorrow on the British financial crisis. Later, Sec retary of the Treasury John w. Snyder and Secretary of State Dean Acheson will join in the discussions with Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Stafford Cripps and Foreign Secretary Erneset Bevin.
 Washington observers said it ap- peared the minimum the United States would agree to would be temporary discrimination against American goods as a means of saving Britain dollar expenditure. The US. is expected to offer help in increasing British sales in the United States and in the economic development of colonial areas.
 At the same time American offi- cials are expected to urge the British to cut the cost of British exports and increase the efficiency of British production.

down to defeat could be salvaged If
declarer would keep a sharper eye
on dummy's long suit. It is rare,
indeed, that q five-card suit In
dummy cannot be brought into play
where sufficient entries are available.
& The final contract Of four spades
was sound one, though North's
method OF getting there does not
meet with our complete approval.
On the values held, he did too much
bidding and it was fortunate for him
that paStner had so much In excess
values, for South would have pro-
-ceeded to game on the basis OF

ably less strength. In that case the
game contract would have been an
entirely hopeless one and . safe

North's hand was Of the type that
merited one constructive bid. but not

two hearts and calling 1t day or
raising partners major suit and still
have q little something left in re-
serve. The latter would have been
the sounder procedure Had North
made a mere raise to two spades,
South would pass with . near-mini-
mum hand, but then assuredly no
xame would be missed. In the actual
holding, had North given single
raise, South would, on the basis OF
his excess playing strength. have
been justified in sounding out his
partners raise by going to three.
Since North had something IN re-
serve, he would in turn be Justified

What Is wrong with the Caps?
Nothing" insists Player-Coach
Bob Feerick and he'll attempt to
prove it beginning tomorrow night
when the Caps take on Fort
Wayne's Pistons in a National
Basketball Association game at
Uline Arena.
Feerick is convinced the Caps
will begin to move in the manner
to which they have been accus-
toned. Bones Mckinney, he points
out, played his best game OF the
season against Minneapolis We'd
nesday night. Bones had been of
stride after sitting out several
games with an injured leg.
The coach, himself, is rounding
back into shape after limping
around on a banged-up knee since
the end of last season.
The Caps are in sad shape COM
pared to this time last season
when they strung together Is
straight victories to take COM
manding lead In their division.
At this point they have won eight
and lost nine and are returning
to the home court carrying a
three-game losing streak.
The Pistons are no push-overs.

Fans Hoping viNemain
Will Outlook La Motta,
Favored Tonight
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 9-Middle-
weight Champion Jake La Motta
is the betting favorite to win and
the fans choice to lose in his
non-title 10-round bout with
Frances Robert Villemain tonight.
The two clash for the second
time in Madison Square Garden
and the stout-hearted little swing
er from Paris will have most of
the anticipated $4,000 customers
roofing for him.
Anvil-chinned Jake never has
been any too popular in his home
town and the rank decision he
received over Villemain last March
Is didn't boost his fan mail.
The busy little Partisan swarmed
all over the Bronx boy and won
handily in the opinion Of 10 of 20
boxing writer's at the ringside.
But two of the officials-Referee
Harry Ebbets and Judge Harold
Barnes-saw things differently
and voted for La Motta. Judge
Charley Shortell had stocky Rob-
ert in front.
Eddie Eagan, the French-speak-
ing chairman of the New York
State Athletic Commission, got
fired up over the voting and sus-
pended both Barnes and Ebbets.
Both are back in action now. They
are not expected to officiate to-
night.
Eagan, incidentally, has warned
La Motta that it's getting close to
time for him to put his title on
the line. The commissioner told
Jake that his six months grace
period, since he won the crown
from Frances Marcel Cerdan last
June, is up December Is and that
he better get around to signing up
for q championship scrap.
Villemain. II he wins. will be
named first choice in the con-
leadership line, Eagan indicated.
For one thing, the commissioner
feels that for the betterment of
international relations. it would
only be cricket to give France a
return crack at the title.
Cerdan was en- route here to
meet La Motta in a return title
bout when he was killed In plane
crash in October. The return had
been postponed once before when
La Motta claimed q shoulder in
jury.
Villemain will be an underdog
at about IL to S. He has to weigh
at least 161 pounds so Jake's 160-
pound diadem won't be at stake
and he may be too slow ut the
weight. La Motta has to come
within 1866 pounds by contract
terms.
