Emily


A bride-to-be writes: mine is
an unusual problem and so come
to you for help. My father is a
clergyman and, of course, I had
always planned for him to marry
me, but it so happens that my
flance's father is also a clergyman
and naturally he would like very
much to have his father take part,
too. Is there some way in which
both could be included? I want to
do the correct thing and not cause
hard feelings in any way"
This is not at all unusual
situation, and the usual procedure
is for the father of the bride (who
is in his own church, to read the
beginning of the marriage service
and the visiting clergymen Gather
Of the bridegroom to read the
betrothal. and then the brides
father to end with the benediction.
Progressive Dinner
Dear Mrs. Post: Cd Our bridge
club is having a progressive dinner
and the soup course is to be served
at my house. Will you please tell
me how it should be served and
what should serve with it. (2)
Also. I have a white lace cloth and
white linen cloth. Which would
be better to use?
Answer: Cd AS it is probably a
very big dinner. 1t would be most
practical to serve the soup in soup
cups rather than plates, and with
it crescent rolls would be especially
suitable. CO Personally. I should
prefer the linen cloth, although
either would be correct.

pearls and she carried a grace
full arm bouquet of white carna-
tions and white lilacs. Mrs. Sling
luff wore an exquisite DELPHI blue
ankle-length dress and Mrs. Sher-
man chose a dress of pale blue
satin with which she wore purple
satin slippers matching the violet
corsage pinned to her shoulder.
The charming debutante, who is
graduate of the Convent of the
Sacred Heart in Noroton, Conn,
and freshman at Sarah Law
renee College. was assisted by her
sister, Miss Mary Hoyt Sherman,
who is spending the winter here
with Mrs. Slingluff and is en-
ployed by the c.. .,ca+..

and friends-made her bow yes

Iron Age Anticipates
Early AIlocations
For Steel Industry
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 12.-The Iron
Age, metal-working trade weekly,
said today "a new voluntary allo-
cations plan for the steel industry
is likely in the very near future.
The Commerce Department, the
publication said, "is preparing to
form an iron and steel industry
advisory committee-possibly this
week."
1t added the group would work
closely with Government officials
to insure speedy action on mill
tary orders and fair distribution
of tonnages available for non
military uses"
The action was described as part
of plans under way ito back the
United Nations fight in Korea
with the biggest steel potential in
the history of the world"
In Washington, where the ques-
ton of asking Congress for broad
control powers is under consid-
! Grafton without sign of imminent
action. some top officials take a
dim view of voluntary" alloca-
tions plans.
One who cannot be named told
reporters he strongly doubts a
voluntary system would be eff
fective or satisfactory to industry.
He said it would load on business
firms the responsibility of denying
goods to some old customers.
Under mandatory control orders
from the Government, business
firms would be free from that re-
sponsibility. and disgruntled goods
seekers would have only the Gov
ernment to blame.
"War goods includes a great
deal more than guns, tanks, planes
and ammunition" the Iron Age
said. Orders for freight cars,
trucks and trailers, pipelines, lock-
ers and many other items will also
be turned out ahead of civilian
goods. 80" ....

Short Selling Burst
Sends Stocks Lower,
Feeble Rally Fails
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 12.-The
stock market tried to dig in for
a stand today following a selling
attack as brief and intense as a
summer storm.
A flood of selling struck the
market in mid-morning after
prices had tumbled late yester-
day under another wave of liqui-
dation.
Losses generally piled up to 81
to So share in short order. A
few high-priced. issues dropped
even more before the market
found a temporary bottom.
A feeble rally shaped up and
some shares bounced up little
from the lows. The rally soon
petered out, however, and there
was a tendency to resume the de-
cline.
Selling hit the market with such
intensity that for 20 minutes the
high-speed ticker tape was un-
able to keep up with dealings on
the floor.
General Motors and Chrysler
were particularly weak, each los
ing around SO a share.
Several aircrafts and rails, plus
a small assortment of other issues,
showed independent strength.
Prominent among the losers
were United States Steel, Repub-
lie Steel. Studebaker, Goodrich,
j. I. Case, Philco. Radio Corp,
American Telephone, Common
wealth Edison. American Smelt-
ing, American Cyanamid, Dow
Chemical. Allied Chemical, Amer
