Dean Rusk's Son Will Marry
At Double Wedding Ceremony
BY BETTY BEALE

Secretary of State and
Mrs. Dean Rusk regret the
wording Of the recent story
out of Buenos Aires that gave
some the impression that
their 20-year-old son David
and Delcia Bence Spinosa of
B.A. had had a runaway Sc
cret marriage.
Nothing could be further
from the truth, said Mrs.
Rusk. Actually, the two have
known each other for four
years and they have been en-
gagged for three of those four
years. The Rusks know the
chic and attractive young
girl we'll and couldn't be hap
pier with their sons choice.
They also know Delcia's par
entS, DR.. and Mrs. Carlos
Bence, who have been to this
country.
The secret marriage i'm
preston resulted from Dav-
ids recent disclosure that he
and Delcia had already been
through q civil wedding cere-
mony on July IL. But this
was put ahead purely and
simply to meet the time lapse
requirements for alien wives
entering this country. The
real wedding, the church
ceremony, will take place at
$3.50 the evening Of August
"a.
It will be a double we'd
ding, said Mrs. RuSk, who
will fly down on a CONNER
cial plane on the 18th to ar
rive in time for the pre-wed-
ding celebrations. The same
ceremony will unite David
and Delcia and the latter's
sister Monica and her Ar
gentine intended.
BUT THE SAME FATHER
will not give both girls away.
DR.. Bence. described in
Argentine accounts as a
wealthy rancher and physi-
clan, will give Monica away.
And New York lawyer Irving
Moskowitz, whose daughter
Anne will be in the wedding,
will give Delcia away.
This is evidence of the af-
fection in which DeIcia holds
the American family she
lived with for a year when
she came to Scarsdale, NY,
as the American Field Serv-
ice student representing Ar
gentina. That was when she
attended Scarsdale High
School and first met David,
who was in his senior year.
1T was a happy relationship
all the way around" said
Dayid's mother.
The Secretary Of State will
not be able to attend the
wedding for a series of rea-
sons, one of which could be
a problem described simply
as Berlin"
SENATOR JOHN SHER-
MAN COOPER returned
home yesterday from WASH
ington Hospital Center where
he was operated on 10 days
ago for gladstone. He is
supposed to convaleSce at
home for another two weeks,

talk emanating from Capitol

six weeks of work ahead of

FRANK MITCHELL, for
merly director of the British
Information Services in
Washington and as helpful a
man as the press could hope
to find Cif only our informa-
ton people abroad are as
efficient and courteousD has
now been given diplomatic
status. He no longer has to
be registered as q foreign
agent the way propagandists
or lobbyists for foreign in
terestS do. Henceforth he will
be known as the Press Off,
Ger with the rank of First
Secretary at the Embassy,
after the manner of most
gentlemen of a similar call
ing. The name Of his
office has been changed, too.
It is now the British Embassy
Press Office. The head of
British Information for the
whole Of the United States
is now considered so important
a post that it has ministerial
rank. Leslie Glass, who held
the job until his recent de-
parture, was a minister, and
his successor Michael Robb,
who arrives the end Of Sep
tember, will also be known
as the Information Minister.

time, he and his wife Maria
