Sound in East , West Zones
Bv the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, June 13.-Powerful
new pleas for German unity

except the Communists. It called
for free elections in both the
East and West Zones and forma-
ton of an alderman govern

Foreign Aid Measure
Will Be Reviewed by
Armed Services Unit
ByJ. A. o'Leory

The Senate Armed Services
Committee will take a look next
week at the $50 million foreign
aid bill, which came from the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee yesterday with only two
dissenting votes.
1--WE want to take a look-see
at the military aspects of this
program to determine that it
does not conflict in any way win
the build-up of our own armed
forces" said Chairman Salton-
stall of the Armed Services
Committee.
On the House side, the Foreign
Affairs Committee will meet
Monday to give final approval to
its version of the bill, which
has been cut more deeply to $40
billion.
The biggest fight between the
two houses, however, will be over
the House amendment which
seeks to make 81 billion of the
more than So billion of military
aid for Europe contingent on
ratification of the European De-
fense Community Treaty, under
which unified army is to be set
up.
Several Senators announced
yesterday they will oppose tying
such string to the European
defense funds.
One of them, Senator Gillette,
Democrat, of Iowa, called the
House amendment an effort to
dictate to the parliaments of six
friendly nations.
Thus far only Western Ger
many has ratified the treaty. It
is still pending in France, Italy,
Belgium, the Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
Senator Gillette said Secretary
of State Dulles had invited Con-
gress to cut the mutual aid pro-
gram by going to the NATO
meeting in April and threatening
"our allies with drastic revision
of our policy in the Atlantic area
if the EDO were not forthwith
created"

NEW YORK, June 13.-For a
granddaughter of the late PreSi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and
the pianist son of an immigrant
Italian barber, it was the biggest
day of their lives.
It was the day that they-Sara
Delano Roosevelt and Anthony
Di Bonaventura-became man
and wife.
But for the humble East Side
Manhattan neighborhood their
marriage yesterday had the gilt
ter, the promise and the hope of
which dreams are made.
Miss Roosevelt, 81, heiress to
a $50 million fortune of her STEP
father, John Hay Whitney, came
from the tabled estate world of
Long Island to the simple realm
of East Twelfth street.
Father Ran Barbershop.
There, in the neighborhood
where the 23-year-old BRIDE
groom had grown up while his
father ran his three-chair bar
bershop, she entered the Roman
Catholic Church of Mary Help of
Christians.
With her were Whitney, who
has adopted her, and her mother,
the former Betsy Cushing. Mrs.
Whitney was divorced from the
brides father, James Roosevelt,
a son of the late President.
Neither Mr.. Roosevelt, who is in
California, nor Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the Presidents widow
and Miss Roosevelt's grandmoth-
er, were present. Mrs. Roosevelt
Is out of the country.
Moments before the arrival Of
the couple and their families
there had been the influx of the
guests-from the brides world
uptown. from the bridegroom s
world downtown, and from the
music world where this romance
grew.
1000 Cheer Newlyweds.
Roars of jubilation echoed in
the canyon-like streets, with
some 1000 persons wistfully
watching from tenement win
dows, fire escapes and rooftops.
Torn paper fluttered to the pave

Tax Probers Split
On Whether 10 Call
Justice as Witness
By james E. Roper

A House Judiciary subcommit-
tee split today over whether to
ask Supreme Court Justice Tom
Clark to testify about his work
as Attorney General between
1945 and 1949.
During this period, numerous
irregularities in handling tax
cases arose.
Subcommittee Chairman Keat-
ing of New York wants Justice
Clark to testify. Representative
Rogers of Colorado and perhaps
other Democrats object.
Session Called for Monday.
Three members of the subcom-
mittee had a preliminary tussle
over the issue, could reach no
agreement, so called another
meeting for 10 am. Monday to
decide what to do.
Mr.. Keating's desire to hear
Justice Clark testify drew REIN
forcement yesterday from the
tax-compromise case of DR.. Olaf
A. Olson. The Minneapolis ply
sician settled a $4,000 tax
claim for $4,000 after Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota, insisted that Deputy At
torney General Peyton Ford and
Mr.. Clark. as Attorney General,
had approved the deal.
The subcommittee heard the
tale from former Assistant At
torney General T. Lamar Caudle,
and then examined Justice De-
partment records that tended
to confirm his story. One memo
from Justice Department files
showed Mr.. Caudle took no re-
sponsibllity for the settlement,
feeling that it was a product
of higher officials.
Confer for 2 Hours.
After Mr.. Caudle testified, Mr..
Keating promptly called a sub
committee meeting, and pro-
posed that Justice Clark be
invited to testify. For two hours,
he was closeted with Mr.. Rogers
and Representative Jonas, Re-
publican, of Illinois. When the
meeting broke up, they an
nounced that no agreement was
reached.
Mondays decisive meeting will
give the other two subcommit-
tee members - Representative
Killings, Republican, of Cali
fornia, and Representative
Willis, Democrat, of louisiana
a chance to vote.

Architect of the Capitol David

Appropriations subcommittee
that discussions on the subject
"have been going on since Civil
War days." but no funds have
ever been made available. The

Lynn urged appropriations in

days of "horse-drawn vehicles" "
Stressing that the Govern
ment now is liable" for any ac-
cidents" as a result of defective
paving, Charles E. Henlock, ad-
ministrative officer to Mr.. Lynn,
insisted the old foundations
needed replacing. instead of re-
surfacing. An item of $670,000
was requested for this purpose
and for repairs to the old drain
age and sewer systems.
To restore the terraces around
the Capitol, Mr.. Lynn asked for
$837,000. He said deterioration
has gone so far that the terraces
are blocked off to the public
and temporary waterproofing
must be used to prevent water
damage to Offices below.
Other Capitol projects for
which funds were urged include

Norman E. ISaacs, the A. P.

of the Louisville Times, in a
speech prepared for delivery be-
fore a joint meeting of the Ken

vey information. We are common

The founding fathers obviously

were given freedom of the press.
But freedom of the press can

Pianist, Son of Italian Barber

And inside the small. wealth
cred church the two, who had
met about year ago while they
were students in the Philadel-
phia area, were united in a
double-ring ceremony.
Mr.. Di Bonaventura claimed
his traditional kiss with such
vigor that the brides handker-
chief was needed to wipe him
clean of lipstick.
It was a quiet ceremony with
only about 80 guests admitted to
the church. The bride, in a
white lace dress, had her sister,
Kate Roosevelt, as maid of honor.
The bridegroom, in a cutaway
coat and striped trousers, had
a friend, Louis Zaninelli, as his
best man.
Bride Is Nom Catholic.
Their families beamed as the
couple said their vows before the
altar rail, rather than at the
altar, since the bride is not a
Catholic. However, she and Mr..
Di Bonaventura are pledged to
bring up any children as Catho-
lies.
Fifteen minutes later the cere-
mony was over. The couple
paused for pictures outside the
church. The crowds surged
against police lines and cheered.
Then the newlyweds entered
a black limousine to ride uptown
to the Whitney town house for
a reception before going on a
honeymoon, somewhere in Maine.
Perhaps their thoughts went
beyond the honeymoon, for Mr..
Di Bonaventura, a child prodigy
at the piano at IL, is slated to
go into the Army.
Following them into other
limousines were the brides
mother and stepfather, and the
groom's father, Fred, g., and
mother. who came to this coun-
try together in 1918.
AS the church emptied of the
wedding guests, hundreds of the
onlookers flocked in from the
street. Many emerged with
souvenirs-the delphinium and
other floral decorations, which
had largely come from the Whit
ney estate at Manhasset, Long
