Some like to consider the gifts
token Of regarding the groom
and bride as King and Queen.
In ancient times it was always
customary to send gifts to the
King and Queen. Judaism al
ways regarded every man a king
in his home and every wife a
queen.
Others see the gifts as a token
of admiration for the discourse
which the groom delivers at the
wedding and thus call the gift
'Deroshoh Geshank" which means
"gift for the discourse"

Rabbi Silver, warning against
overconfidence, called upon
American Jewry to extert greater
effort in behalf Of strengthening
Israel. He said Israel faced "many
dangers" among them political,
economic and military. Failure to
establish Israel on a sound basis,
he warned, could lead to disaster
Gus consequences for the Jewish
people.
The establishment of Israel,
Doctor Silver told an overflow
audience, has instilled a new
spirit in American Jewish youth.
Having a national state, he said,
has given Jewish youth a claim,
at last, of a pride of race absent
for more than 1000 years.

QUESTION: Why are wedding
gifts usually given to the bride?

QUESTION: Why are wedding
gifts usually given to the bride?
ANSWER: Several reasons are
mentioned for this practice. One
is to show the bride that she is
destined to be the manager of the
home and to receive, take care of
and assume responsibility for the
income and upkeep of the home.
Some trace this custom to the
idea that the groom presents an
intellectual discourse at the we'd
ding. AS rule, it is not permit
ted to accept payment for the de-
liverance of a discourse. If the
gifts were to be given to him it
might look like he was being paid
for his discourse. Consequently,
the bride accepts the gifts instead
of the groom.
QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to give gifts at a wedding?
ANSWER: The giving of gifts
allows for reciprocity and appre-
citation among men. The latter
holidays such as Chanukah and
Purim were always additionally
heralded by giving gifts because
OF the closeness they displayed
among the recipients and donors.
The gifts are a means of uniting

The unusual degrees of volume

Mitropolous attains made the
Beethoven symphony the most ar
resting number on the program.
The conductor has a way of
stretching the tempo as it were.
so that every note stands out and
this deliberateness is accompanied
by shading of such fine degree as
to make the music seem ethereal.
All the ingratiating characteristic
of the symphony were emphasized
and its serenity of mood touched
with infinite tenderness. At the
same time, Mitropolous knows how
to inject little SpurtS OF excitement
into the flow of the music with
out disturbing the many inter-
pretive ideas with which he en-
bellishes it.
The spirited fourth movement
was a prelude to the brilliant per-
Torrance of the "Petrouchka"
music. 1t was a pity that the story
of the ballet was not told in the
short program notes so that the
changing scene could be followed
as the suite was played. Splendid
as it is as an orchestral display

plauded with the greatest enthu-

originally, the retailer uses the
original price instead of the
February "a price. If an article
was originally priced higher than
the price the retailer would nor
mally have charged, the normal
price must be used.
The retailer next computes the
percentage markup in each in
stance and puts it in the fourth
column. For example, if the cost
of an item was 80 cents, and the
offering price was 48 cents, the
markup would be so per cent.
Hanceforth the retailer must
use the same SO per cent markup
for any item in the category that
costs him 80 cents.
If he buys an item at cost diff
ferent from any of the costs listed
in MS second column, he arrives
at his ceiling price by methods
that would take too much space
to describe in this story.
Other Things to Do.
In the fifth column, the retailer
lists the last invoice he received
for each cost listed in the second
column.
There are other things the re-
taller must do. For example, he
INST figure the average percentage
markup for the whole category,
and this average has an important
part in determining ceiling prices.
Also he must file certain other
information besides the pricing
chart.
But that gives a general idea
of what the typical storekeeper
is doing with his spare time now
adayS.
Tuppy Shafer, though his store
is small, has several hundred diff
ferent items that he must put on
his pricing chart. For example, he
has 80 different Offering prices on
mems Stacks alone.
One thing that botherS Mr..
Shafer is that under his new cell
ing prices, he may be selling one

Instructions Are Needed.
For example, one particular
pair of shoes may sell for $10.95
land a different size may sell for
$3.50, simply because he received
the two pairs at different times
and at different costs.
But Mr.. Shafer has no solution
for this problem. Nor does he
object to Regulation 7 on prin-
Iciple. He says retailers in general
want price controls and would
much rather have this kind of
"mark-up" control than a fiat
freeze"
His main complaint is that the
OPS did not send out simplified
instructions along with the regu-
lation itself. He feels that if this
had been done, he could have
started work on the pricing chart
sooner.

Five Nebraska Convicts
Slash Arms With Glass
BY the Associated Press

LINCOLN, Nebr., Mar. 24.-Five
Nebraska penitentiary convicts-
one under death sentence-were
reported today to have slashed
their arms with window glass.
The five were all confined in
what prisoners call the hole" a
section reserved for inmates who
have broken prison rules. Prison
officials call it the "jail."
Guard Capt. Charles Beard said
the slashings by the prisoners were
mot an attempt to take their
lives. They just wanted to get
out of the jail and over to the
hospital" The food is better there,
he explained.
Most seriously cut was Roland
Dean Sundahl, 20, condemned to
death in the Ratchet Staying of
a teen-age carhop. He slashed an
artery and lost about a pint of
blood. Guards discovered him
when they saw blood running from
his cell.
Afterwards, injuries to the other
four were discovered, but authori-

scratches. Sundahl was the only

West German Titoists
Organize, Despite
Pro-Soviet HeckIinq

WORMS, Germany, Mar. "a
The formal founding of a West
German party of Titoist Com
|munists was violently interrupted
today when Reds faithful to the
Kremlin tried to break up its first
meeting.
Chairs flew and windows crashed
as the Titoists-dissident Com
munists who, like Yugoslavia' S
Marshal Tito. have revolted against
Moscow-cried Down with the

the ro-Cominform hecklers out.
Six persons were injured before
the founding ceremonies got under
way again.
Joseph Schappe, former editor
of the West German Communist
Party's official paper, Freies Volk
Gree People,, who was ousted
from the party in 1949 for Tito
ism. announced after the rioting
that his new independent Work
ers Party" was officially founded.
Georg Fischer, former secretary
Of the Bavarian state cabinet, was
chairman of the meeting. He said
the new party's platform will be
released tomorrow.
The Kremlin-line hecklers who
were thrown out of the hall
shouted: 1--WE know your names
and homes and they must be sent
to the competent authorities.
Schappe said he hoped to form
a united group to fight the Mos
cow-controlled Cominform. Last
month he called on all other anti
Moscow Communists - Titoists,
Trotskyites and left-wing Social
ists-to join him in a powerful
international.
There was no indication how
many members the new party
could claim at its outset, but dur
ing the last several months there
have been fierce purges in the
West German Communist Party,
with many of those ousted being
accused of Titoism.

Greek-born conductor, Dimitr
Mitropoulos, yesterday afternoon
in Constitution Hall, included 8
gesture toward the Greek nation
which celebrates the anniversary
of it's independence today. Attrac-
tive young girls in beautiful Greek
costumes circulated in the lobby
passing out programs. Just as
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" was
to be played an American sailor
stepped out to hold the American
flag on one side of the stage while
a Greek soldier in the Evzones
uniform carried the Greek flag
on the opposite side. Mr.. Nitro
lpolous, after giving the tempo OF
the national anthem. stood at rigid
attention while the orchestra
played and the audience sang.
Another Greek touch was given
by the performance, as first num-
Der, of the suite arranged by Bu-
soni from the music of Mozart's
opera, "Idomeneeoe." The orig
inal libretto subject was biblical,
but Mozart transferred it to
Greece. The opera had not been
heard in this country until it was
produced in Tanglewood in Aug
ust, 1947. The program contained
further Beethoven's Symphony
No. A." and the music of Stra-
vinsky's ballet, "Petrouchka." For
artistic finish and beauty of tone,
the entire performance was I'M
rivalled.
MitropOlous- Is Energetic.
Mr.. Mitropolous is one of the
most relaxed conductors to appear
here and, at the same time. one
of the most energetic. His flexible
fingers seem to knead the music
into the effects he wants and by
the lift of his shoulders or DART
ing gesture, he can increase the
tempo or create a climax. There
is little fanfare about the playing
of the Philharmonic's excellent
musicians. Precision is their key
note and the rich quality of tone
merges into an ensemble of sound

a feeling that one choir is better
than the other, so completely is
the balance maintained.
