Probably the gayest gathering
at the White House since 1t was
closed down for repairs took place
yesterday afternoon at 8 O'Clock
when Attorney General Tom C.
Clark was sworn in as Justice OF
the Supreme Court.
Washington's official society
was so we'll represented that II
looked as though a fourth OF
Congress had played hockey from
Capitol Hill to see their old friend
step up to the highest court In
the land.
It was President Truman's wish
that the new justice take his
oath at the White House and a.
he handed him his certificate OF
Office he addressed him as AT
torney General" for "the last
time" and said to the large gath
ering of friends standing in the
rose garden, I'VE have had q
great attorney general for the
past four years and we will have
a great justice of the supreme
court from now on"
Then Chief Justice of, the
United States Fred Vinson. clac
in his judicial robe. said, tom
are you ready to take the oath?'
After Mr.. Clark's. Eyes. sir" the
Chief Justice administered the
oath from memory, Mr.. Clark re-
peating afterward the words, "ad-
minister justice without respect
to persons. do, equal right tc
the poor and the rich," etc.
The President. Vice President

White House circles stood on the
porch just of the executive
Offices. They were, fortunately, in
the shade that extended only a.
far as the steps into the garden
Beyond all that was brilliant sun
light and everyone else standing
in the bright, warm glare began
to recall too vividly the hottest
days of the summer.
A Kiss From Mrs. Clark
Immediately after the swear
ing in the President and Chief
Justice congratulated Associate
Justice Clark and he received q
kiss from Mrs. Clark whose navy
blue sheer was topped by mag.
-nificent orchid corsage and perky
white straw with a white veil
The new justice was also in navy
blue with the customary natty bow
tie, navy blue with red and yellow
medallions on it.
Then the photographers took
over. Snapped as they formed q
semi-circle we're Justice Clark, the
Vice President, Senator Howard

A widow writes: Il am en-
gagged but have no new ring. As a
widow. I have continued to wear
my former engagement ring as
well as wedding ring. But I've
been wearing these on my right
hand, which I'd been told was
the way for a widow to indicate
her status. Must I discard these
two rings in view Of having no
new one? III be sort of ringless
If I do have to-"
Even so. I think you should
take off your wedding ring when

No one ever discards other rings.

widow fit In at the funeral serv-
ices of her first husband, who is
being brought back to this coun-
try for burial? The second hus-
band did not know the deceased
or his family, but he certainly
wants to show whatever respect is
in order.
Answer: To go with his wife
certainly would be regarded as an
evidence of very special love and
kindness to her.
Wedding Notices
Dear Mrs. Post: I've been in the
newspaper business many years
and thought we were correct in
putting the mans name first in
the heading of a marriage notice.
All papers seemed to do the same
thing. Lately, however. I noticed
one of the country's leading
papers had the order reversed. So
what is correct?
Answer: can't remember any
instance where the brides name
appears first In such a heading in
which only the two last names are
used. The notice itself after the
heading usually Is: Miss So and
So, daughter, etc.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it proper to

bluff and then plunged into the
wods several hundred feet below.

Chaco War between Bolivia and
Paraguay in the 1930s. The SOL

There will be the reduction of
$4,000 employees in the defense
establishment that was ordered
by Secretary johnson. And there
may be additional scattered per-
sonnel reductions in the defense
agencies. although these won't be
very severe and will have hardly
any effect on civilian defense
workers in Washington.
But outside of that, Administra-
ton officials aren't expecting that
the total Federal employment pic
ture will change very much.
An economy bloc in Congress
can be expected to press for fur
ther personnel reductions next
year. However, next year is an
election year and past history has
shown that the party in power
usually doesn't reduce Government
personnel during these election
years.

Fall Hog Marketings
Expected 70 Bring
Prices Down 1877
BY the Associated Press

Hog prices may drop more than
18 per cent this fall, the Agri-
culture Department said yester-
day.
Prices normally decline in the
fall and early winter, because
those are the seasons Of heaviest
marketings. But this year fall
marketings are expected to be
considerably larger than a year
ago.
"The (falD seasonal decline in
hog prices" said a department
livestock report, may be some
what greater than the 20-year
average of 18 per cent"
Cattle Prices Advance.
The report repeated previous
department predictions that the
prices may drop to Government
price support levels during the
fall or winter. The support prices
will vary seasonally from $3.50
in September to perhaps SIS or
less in December.
On the other hand, prices of
the better grades of cattle have
strengthened recently. and are
likely, the report said, to make
some further seasonal advance.
Declines later in the year probably
will be much smaller than those
for hogs, the department said.
Supplies Above Year Ago.
The department said prices Of
most meats rose moderately this
summer. Retail prices Of beef at
New York averaged 6 per cent
higher in July than in May. and
those of pork 6:5 per cent higher.
But prices of lamb were down 6
per cent.
Chiefly because of the expected
increase in pork production, total
meat supplies for the October-De-
cember quarter Of this year will be
considerably larger than those a
year earlier, the report predicted.
