Indies Alignment
With Power BIocs
Opposed by Envoy
BY Ruth Dean

Freedom from alignment with
power blocs coupled with the tech
nique Of nonviolence was de-
scribed as the unique" contri-
button that India can make to
world peace by the Indian Am
bassador. Nine. Pandit, in a
luncheon address yesterday.
Speaking before a capacity audi
ence at the Woman's National
Democratic Club. midas first
woman envoy to the United States
declared, IF today India tries to
keep free from alignment with
power blocs, it Is that we may be
more effective in aiding demo-
cratic forces when necessary"
Pointing out how wars among
the western powers had failed to
achieve peace, Nine. Pandit pre-
dicted India will try to follow "a
line which is unique in history. u
the technique of nonviolence
which won India its own freedom.
Nothing Is lost in trying to ex-
plore a new method we hope we
may present to the world. provided
we stay together through faith
and good WILL" she said.
I've often been asked what side
India would take in the event the
cold war. which I hope is now dis
solving, should break into another
war such as we've been through, -
the envoy declared. There
should be no question Of where
India Is going. India has always
shown where she was going. even
during the period of foreign occu-
patton"

SpIuree Wedding
For q Poor Girl
Called Crime

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Our
daughter Is planning 70 be mar
RED soon and resents our sug-
gestion Of having a simple home
wedding such as we feel that We
can afford. Her plans are 10 have
brilliant church wedding ut
night with every friend and &C
quaintance invited. We object TO
this because it would be q great
financial strain upon US. What
shall We do? c. Ell
Answer: III you have even an
elementary backbone you will re-
fuse to accede TO your daughters
unreasonable demands and simply
tell her that you will not be bull
dozed into going into debt for q
silly display that you cannot
afford.
Nowhere else in the world do
people get so little run for their
money as they do at q splurge
wedding, and why people who are
poor or in moderate circumstances
ever make such a bad investment
is one Of the things that nobody
can explain. From the time the
bride trails her white satin and
orange blossoms into the church
and out of it generally does not
consume more than Is minutes.
yet for that brief period Of having
the spotlight turned on her she
has paid hundreds and often
thousands Of dollars. And 1t isn't
worth it.
When a poor girl has a show
wedding it Is a crime. because It
means that for the sake of fiaunt-
ing herself in the public eye she
has been willing to run her poor
old father into debt, to lay upon
his already burdened shoulders an
additional load that will make
them sag still further downward
and that she has subjected her
whole family to pinching econo-
mics that they will have to endure
for wears to come.

litical progress of Indian women
and gave credit to the village gov

women of India have had a part
for centuries, for fostering a po-

NEW YORK, Now - Since the
war, crying the business blues
has become a chronic complaint
with many Americans. Despite
the string of boom years, econo-
mic pessimists have periodically
hit the headlines with forecasts
of calamity. In 1949, they said
gloomily, production would drop,
unemployment would climb. But
as the year draws to a close it
becomes apparent that the pro-
phets of doom have concentrated
bit too much on the dak spots
in the economy. Though produc-
ton has dipped somewhat below
previous peaks, it is still high.
And while unemployment has in
creased somewhat, employment
has stuck close to the record
height of 6O,00O,O0o. Incomes
have topped peak 1913 marks, and
sales of many manufacturers have
chalked up new highs.
The impact of the steel and coal
strikes, of course, has taken some
of the starch out of the economy.
But as we approach the Christ
mas season the overall picture is
far from dismal. AS recently as

ers in manufacturing industries
attained their second highest in
come level on record - an aver
age of $55.64 a week. Add the
fact of an accumulated savings
backlog of 1920 billion and you
have at least some reason for op-
timism for the new year too. Re-
cent stock market action, Incl

firmation; it hit a new high for
