In a most beautiful and i'm
pressive wedding of the Christmas
season, Miss Selena Velma Helm,
daughter of Mrs. Selena Helm
Butler and the late Lewis Helm,
Sr. and stepdaughter of Reverend
J. S. Butler, became the bride Of
James Anderson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Victor Anderson of Randolph
Street, Jackson, Miss. The Rev.
erend G. R. Haughton, brides pas
tor, performed the double ring
ceremony of dignity and simple
beauty.
A program of music was pre-
scented by Mrs. Louise Garrett
Hubbard, brides aunt, Forsyth,
Ga. and Mr.. Ross Clay of Jackson.
Mrs. Hubbard also accompanied
Mr.. James Haughton of Jackson,
soloist. Mrs. Hubbard was at the
Hammond organ and Mr.. Clay at
the piano.
The altar was formed by the
white rustic wrought iron arch
against a background of Caro-
linean Southern Smilax and red
poinsettias. The entire length of
the setting was outlined with white
cathedral tapers standing majes-
tically in white candelabra. The
panelled green and red background
was replica of a medieval French
garden. A special lighting effect
transformed this into a modern
chateau. This was the first re-
quest for such a setting in the
city.
Given By Brother
Escorted and given in marriage
by her only brother, Lewis Helm,
Jr., the bride was lovely in her
quietly elegant formal wedding
gown of white peau de sole with
imported hand clipped chantilly
lace. The fitted bodice featured
long sleeves fastened with NINA
ture buttons. The back bodice fas-

Largest Navy
BIimp Crashes
Inn Atlantic

LAKEHURST, Nj, "a huge
Navy blimp longer than football
field plunged into the Atlantic
Ocean today with q men aboard.
One body was repeatedly brought
ashore. Six or seven crewmen
were rescued.
The silvery airship crashed off
the central New Jersey coast
while searching FOR missing
yacht
Fishing boats and the aircraft
carrier Essex joined in picking
up survivors.
Capt Andy Locke Of the fish
ing boat, Blue Chip, said the nose
of the blimp collapsed as if
spike had been driven into it. He
said the blimp struck the water at
a 5O-degree angle and sank.
But a spokesman at the Naval
Air Station here said the blimp
was afloat and was being lowed
W Sl1Ole.
The blimp was taking part in
an air and sea search for a racing
yacht overdue in New York after
competing in the famed Newport,
R.I.-to-Bermuda race. The yacht,
the Vat SO and its six-man crew
were later reported safe.
The blimp was part of Airship

long, 118 feet high and IS feet in

US. Will Act IL
Russia Builds Sub
Bases I'm Cuba

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower said the United States
will act as it sees fit-if neces-
sary-to protect its interests if
Russia establishes a submarine
base in Cuba.
He said, however, he does not
regard the setting up of Soviet
submarine base as a likelihood,
but such thing is a possibility
AS to what the United States
might do in such an event, Eisen-
hover drew attention to the Ca
racas Resolution for mutual de
tense of the Western Hemisphere,
and to the machinery of the Or
ganization of American States,
Eisenhower said the GAS would
no doubt come into play but that
in its own interest this country
might have to act as it saw fit.
Eisenhower said this country is
trying hard to have the CubanS
understand that there is no quar-
rel between the the people Of
this country and them but that
the difficulties are caused only by
what he called the inexplicable
actions of their government.
The discussion came up as Eli
senhower was reported prepared
to slash US. sugar imports from
Cuba which have paid big pre-
miums to Cuban growers.
The United States sent a for
NAL diplomatic protest to Cuba
Tuesday over the seizure last
week of the American owned
Texaco and ESQ Standard Oil
Co. refineries. Castro took over
the US. refineries after they re-
fused to handle imported Soviet
oil.
The US. note expressed hope
that Castro would reverse him
self and return the refineries to
their owners. But us. officials
saw little chance of this happen
ing.

Ike Rejects Rocky

Militarily Weak
By MARVIN L. ARRoWsMITH

WASHINGTON. R- President
Eisenhower today rejected New
York Gov Nelson Rockefeller's
contention that Americas military
strength has deteriorated.
At news conference, the
President also accused Soviet
Premier Khrushchev of very
crude attempts to interfere in
this country's presidential cam
paign.
Eisenhower voiced confidence
that neither Democrats nor the
Republicans will find the krem-
lin leaders advice of any value.
AS for Rockefeller, Eisenhower
was reminded that the Republican
governor has been critical of the
administration in the economic as
we'll as the military fields, and
has contented that us. military
strength has declined while Rus
Sia'S has increased.
a ne IIeSluGlll COliii1ltlIICQ IllcI
since 1853 he has sent eight bud
gets to Congress. Five, he said,
were cut by Congress and three
increased-in each case in cleo
ton years.
The President said that by and
large the Democratic controlled
Congresses have agreed with his
Republican administration on
military spending.
1t is true, Eisenhower went on
that some individuals get deeply
concerned about our defense posi-
ton, and some get worried.
AS for Rockefeller, he is en-
titled to his opinions and has a
right to express them. Eisenhower
added that he doesn't think such
views will wreck the Republican
party.
The President then said Rookie
feller's views are his oWn-and
they are not EisenhoWer's.
1t was Eisenhower first news
conference in eight weeks.

Eisenhower Cuts Cuba Sugar Import
Quota To Us. by IS Million Dollars

WASHINGTON, tP President
Eisenhower, accusing the Castro
regime of deliberate hostility to-
ward the United States, Wednes-
day cut imports of Cuban sugar
100000 tons.
EisenhoWer's action means that
only 39,752 additional tons of Gu
ban sugar can be shipped into the
United States during the re-
mainder of this year.
The United States pays about
PIE cents a pound above the
world price for the Cuban sugar
it buys.
This subsidy, as it is in effect,
would have amounted to about IS
million dollars on the 100000 tons
cut from Cuba's quota.
Eisenhower acted shortly after
signing a bill passed by Congress
Sunday morning giving him au-
thority to reduce import quotas
on sugar from Cuba.
Cuba's original import quota
for this calendar year was 3,1i9,-
655 tons. All but 1882 tons of
that quota already had been ship
ped prior to Eisenhower's action.
In a statement issued after he
had signed the sugar bill, Essen
hover said:
despite every effort on our
part to maintain additionally
friendly relations, the government
of Cuba is now following a course
which raises serious question as
to whether the United States can,
in the long run continue to rely
upon that country for such large
quantities of sugar.
Il believe we would fail in our
obligation to our people if we did
not take steps to reduce our ALI
ance for a major food product
upon a nation which has en-
barked upon a deliberate policy
of hostility toward the United
Sattes."

Cuba Authorizes
Castro Seize All
US. Property

HAVANA, Up - Fidel Castro's
cabinet today authorized him to
appropriate all American pro-
perty in Cuba and pay for it only
if the United States buys more
not less-Cuban sugar at premium
prices.
The cabinet said the expropri-
alton was authorized because of
the constantly aggressive atti-
tude" of the US. government and
particularly the authority given
President Eisenhower by Con-
gress to reduce Cuba's sugar sales
to the United States.
Undermining the retaliatory ma
ture OF the action, the decree pin
ned compensation for the seized
property directly to American
sugar purchases.
It said the American owners
would be paid in per cent 30
year Cuban government bonds
backed by a special fund. But the
fund is to come from 25 per cent
of the dollars paid for sugar sales
to the United States in excess Of
3 million tons a year and at a
price of 534 cents a pound or
more.
