A romance, involving two former
residents of Germany who did not
meet until coming to Bluffton to
make their homes eliminated last
Friday evening in a wedding at the
First Mennonite church parsonage on
Spring street.
Miss Anneliese Suttor and Theodor
Hunnius were united in marriage at
Z O'Clock Friday evening in a cere-
mony performed by the Rev. Jacob
T. Friesen, pastor of the First Men,
MONTE church.
The bride is the daughter of Mrs.
Jacob Suttor. Mr.. Hunnius is the son
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Theodor
Hunnius.
The bride is a graduate of nursing
from a hospital in Nuremburg, Ger
many. She first came to this country
under the farm trainee program in
1853 when she spent six months work
ing at children's home in Indiana
and another six months working al
the Mennonite hospital in La Junta,
Colorado. Her brother was also in
the farm trainee program and spent
some time working for the Ezra
Moser family near Bluffton.
In 1855 she returned to this country

provided for the care of children. The
pediatric department has been con-
stantly overcrowded the past three
months and has cared for more than
1000 more children in 1855. Hospital
officials attribute this to the rapidly
mounting birth rate which means
space will be at more of a premium
each year.

Virginia Voting

When a NAACP official has a good
word to say about the treatment of Ne
gro voters in Southern State it is news,
and some small notice should be taken
Of 1t.
So we are glad to record that w.
Lester Banks, secretary of the Virginia
State Conference Of NAACP branches,
has said that he has received only minor
complaints Of attempts to keep Negroes
from registering as voters since 1851 and
1852. These complaints, he said, have
been cleared up promptly when brought
to the attention Of Levin Mock Davis,
secretary Of the State Elections Board.
Mr.. Davis, again for the record, is an
agent of the So-called Byrd machine,
which often is charged with conniving
to keep Negro voters away from the
polls
Why is it, then, that there are not
more Negro voters? The poll tax can
hardly be saddled with all the blame,
since 12l 900 Negroes have paid their
poll taxes, but $4,000 of these have
not taken the trouble to register. One
might think there was some racial angle
here were 1t not for this fact: Some
$4,000 white people also have paid their
poll taxes, and $4,000 of these have not
taken the trouble to register. Presum-
ably they just don't care very much
about voting

Let's Cross This Bridqe

The House was wise in closing up
the Constitution avenue four-lane tun-
mel. The resulting dilemma facing the
Commissioners is whether to go ahead
now with the construction of a Six-lane
bridge. which Congress authorized them
to build three years ago, or to sit tight
and see what turns up. One thing turn
Ing up fast is the traffic to be accom-
modated. Since 1855, traffic crossing the
present Potomac bridges has increased
from 227 900 to $4,000 vehicles per day.
Another thing turning up is the stag
gering increase of construction costs.
The Commissioners seem to have
statutory authority, and some money, to
go ahead with the authorized bridge In
the circumstances they would not be
wise to proceed, however, without Spe-
cif1c instructions from the President.
We doubt that such instructions would
be given. But any instructions from the
White House. pro or con, would be useful.
The unbelievable confusion and delay
on the simple matter of providing more
access to and from Washington across
the river stem primarily from lack of
White House leadership, not necessarily
the leadership of decision on an en-
cheering problem but the leadership of
the Presidents great influence in de-
handing that the responsible agencies
Federal and local-reach frm agree
ment on what to do.
1t is true that such an agreement
seemed to have been reached two years
ago-under the auspices of Senator Case
of South Dakota, not the White House.
But the Interior Department, party to
the agreement, helped undermine 1t by
lobbying for tunnel, instead Of bridge
in the new location agreed upon. The
inadequacy Of the tunnel, and its added
cost, killed it In the housekeeping the
original bridge authorization still on the
books.
Some enforced unity in reaching
firm decisions on planning in Washing
ton is more important now than starting
again on the bridge without 1t.

American young people, one Of their

themselves.
If this is fair estimate-and It
is based on the reportorial coverage
given the American delegation-there
is nothing disquieting about It. Youth
