"a Danes Plan
Quick Marriage,
Then Divorce

COPENHAGEN, Denmark III
Twenty -four Danes have decided to
marry for money at a mass June
wedding-and then divorce i'm
mediately. Seven couples were
paired off last night but there's
some difficulty in matching up the
other five pair.
The "a men and women are
civil servants who oppose govern
ment regulations giving higher
wages to married or divorced en-
ployes. They decided on a mass
wedding, followed by an immediate
mass divorce, to dramatic their
demand for a single pay standard.
Married, the workers would get
from 1914 to $40 more each year,
depending upon their rank.
The men and women agreed to
trek to the altar together June 10,
have a glorious wedding breakfast,
and then rush off to the divorce
courts.
Since it was to be a business
arrangement, the ringleaders an
ticipated no trouble in partner
picking. After meeting last night,
however, Werner Overoe, the Gus
toms officer organizing the excur-
sion into mass matrimony, still
had 10 prospects to sort out.
1t was conceded they didn't cor
respond very well in age or SYM
pathies.
"I'n try to match them," Over
oe said, land will see to it the
situation won't be too grotesque. -
Justice Minister Hans Hacker
up conceded that the mass wedding
would be legal, even if divorce had
been agreed on beforehand, and
would result in pay raises.

Big3 Will
UrgeStartO OF
Peace Farley
By EDDY GILMORE

GENEVA R-The Big Three
Western powers decided today to
propose to the Communists that
the Indochinese peace talks begin
tomorrow afternoon.
The last apparent obstacle for
the opening Of the talks was re-
moved when the French agreed to
have the craftsmanship rotate be-
tween British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden and Soviet Foeign
Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov.
This was understood to be salts
factory to the Communists.
The Western powers agreed to
have w. d. Allen, British undersec-
rotary of state for foeign affairs,
notify Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrea Gromyko that the
West is ready to meet tomorrow. 1t
had been arranged several days
ago that the meeting would be
convened whenever the Western
delegations were ready.
Final strategy was discussed at
a midday conference of Eden,
French Foreign Secretary Georges
Bidault and Undersecretay of
State Waite Bedell Smith. French
sources said Bidault planned to
open the conference with a state
ment about the plight of the sick
and wounded at beleaguered Diem
Bien Phu. These sources said,
however, Bidault did not want the
question of a Diem Bien Phu truce
to be discussed by the conference.
France has taken the position that
this should be discussed by the
two sides on the spot and lot here.
News Of the agreement on the
craftsmanship came as the East
West delegates returned to their
deadlocked debate on Korea after
a three-day recess. But the two
week-old try for unification of that
war torn peninsula appeared near
its expected unproductive end.
Philippines Vice President Car
los P. Garcia rejected Communist
proposals on Korea as being Sin
conflict" with the settlement pro-
posed by the United Nations. Lead
ing the resumed debate, the Philip
pine leader also attacked Red
China's claim to speak for Asia
as downright presumption"
Garcia holly defended the
United States from Communist
charges of imperialism in Asia.
Referring to the U. S. grant of in
dependence to the Philippines after
World War II, he said "let the
Filipinos bear witness before the
world that such a charge is a vio-
lent distortion of history"
Despite the Western belief the
last hurdle had been cleared for
the start of the Indochina talks, a
potentially Earring note was inject
ed by an official spokesman for
Red China, Huang Hua.
He told newsmen his delegation
at the opening session would de.
mand admission of the Communist
governments" of Laos and Cam
bodia, as well as such other enter
ested states" including India,
Indonesia and Burma.
The West considers the "Com.
munist regimes" of Laos and Cam
bodia are virtually nonexistent.
A French spokesman said his
government would refuse to sit at
the same conference with repre-
sentatives of phantom regimes
which exist only in the imagination
of the Vietminh.

Throughout the summer pres sure canners were brought into the Extension office for a check up on accuracy of guage. A year ly check-up is necessary for safe ty and a satisfactory home canned food. Now you are about ready to pay another respect to your canner-putting it away proper ly. Wash canner thoroughly be- fore storing it. Scrub edges of both kettle and cover, using whit ing and water if securing is need ed. Don't use strong soap on al minimum or heavy-duty securing powder on any type of canner. The rubber gasket must be clean and grease free. Petcock, safety valve and pressure guage must be stored clean. Opening may be cleaned by drawing a string narrow strip of cloth or pipe cleaner through them.
 If the safety valve is a bali and-socket type, it should be cleaned after each use. Silver pol ish is good to use.
 Be sure canner and all parts are dried thoroughly before storing. Smear threads of screw locks or thumb nuts with a thin film ot peroleum jelly or any salt free cooking oil to prevent rust. Place crumpled newspaper inside the kettle to absorb moisture, and wrap the lid in paper. Put the lid on upside down so the air can get into the kettle and keep II sWeet-smelling throughout the storage period.
 A good workman respects hls tools, careful home canner de votes little extra time and el- bow grease in putting away he1 pressure canner.

Strong gains were reported,
the Ala said, in the South

States and the Northwest and

areas of the country held their
own or showed slight gains, the
reports indicate.
None of the regional directors
