Peggy Cripps Weds African
In London Society Ceremony
By th« Associated Press
LONDON. July 18. Socialite !
Peggy Cripps and Negro law
student Joseph Appiah from the j
Gold Coast were married today [
in London’s fashionable St.
John’s Church.
It was a society wedding such |
as London had never seen.
Friends of the bridegroom in j
brilliant Ashanti tribal dress j
acted as ushers for the bride
groom’s guests. They made a
striking contrast with the sober
English morning dress of striped
trousers, cutaway coat and
lavendar waistcoats worn by the
ushers for the bride’s family.
One of the bridegroom’s guests,
H. L. O. George, of Gambia, wore
voluminous robes of yellow and ’
black and carried a wooden \
native snake charm throughout
the ceremony.

School Board Scans
New Appeal Against
Noyes School Shift
A new plea for reconsideration
of the transfer of Noyes Elemen
tary School to Negro children
tvas before the Board of Educa
tion today.
Russell N. Shewmaker, repre
senting Noyes parents, yesterday
urged the board to ask Supt.
Hobart M. Corning for a re
study of the transfer. He also
asked board members to consider
calling another public hearing.
The transfer was ordered by a
4-3 vote last month over the pro
test of Noyes parents. Dr. Corn
ing told the board it was nec
essary to relieve crowding at
the colored Slowe School. Noyes
is at Tenth and Franklin streets
N.E., and Slow r e is at Fourteenth
and Jackson streets N.E.
Complaints Repeated.
Mr. Shewmaker yesterday re
peated complaints that the su
perintendent and school board
acted hastily and arbitrarily in
ordering the transfer. He con
tended Dr. Corning had failed
to provide the board with com
plete facts.
“We were taken by surprise,”
he asserted. “When you’re plan
ning the community you can’t
put the thing on grease skids and
push it through.”
He criticized a decision of the
superintendent to postpone any
transfer recommendations until
after announcement of Supreme
Court action on school segrega
tion cases
Long-Range Plan Asked.
Mr. Shewmaker, who is an
assistant to the general counsel
of the» Tariff Commission, told
the board it should adopt a long
range plan on school transfers.
He declared that "hasty and un
wise” transfers would hasten
migration of white residents to
the suburbs.
. The Noyes spokesman said he
i was not prepared to argue the
! merits of the transfer proposal
! itself but would do this at a
! later hearing, if one is held.
Board President C. Melvin Sharpe
said the parents’ request would
be given a complete investiga
tion.
The bride, buxom, brown
haired and 32, is the youngest
daughter of the late Sir Staf
ford Cripps, Chancellor of the
Exchequer in the former Labor
government. Mr. Appiah. also
32, is the personal representative
in this country of the Gold Coast
Prime Minister.
They announced their engage
ment "for love” two months ago
at a party given by Artist Felix
Topolski.
Today Mr. Appiah wore the
brilliant ceremonial native dress
of the Ashanti tribe, a crimson,
yellow and green striped silk
mantle called a "kente cloth”
and similar to the old Roman
toga.
More than 200 guests, includ
ing former Labor Cabinet Min
ister Aneurin Bevan, attended a
reception after the ceremony at
a Mayfair restaurant.

By tha Associated Praia
DETROIT. July 18.—A judge,
holding court fr6m his sick bed.
wept yesterday in sentencing a

also 62.

his wife by electricity in the bath
tub at their home last Decem
ber 12.
He tied an exposed lamp cord
around her wrist, then turned

months with a bone ailment.
$15,000 Fire Destroysj,
Barn at Poolesville,
Eight Calves Perish
A large bank barn on the
I dairy farm of Haile Chisholm
I near Poolesville, Md., was de
i stroyed by fire yesterday.
Eight calves perished in the
flames and a cow that ran into
the barn after her calf had to
be shot because of severe burns.
Upper Montgomery County
firemen who responded estimat
ed the total loss at $15,000, in
cluding the livestock and tons
of hay which had been stored
inside Thursday. The fire had
made much headway before
firemen arrived, and they con
centrated on keeping the flames
from spreading to a large dairy 1
barn only 150 feet away.
Charles Peddersen, the tenant
on the farm, discovered the
flames while he was in the dairy
I barn milking. He got the cows
! out of the barn. Flames swept
j through the bank barn before
i he could reach the calves there,
! firemen said
Mr. Peddersen was alone when
the fire started.
Because of the drought, the
only water available to firemen
was in tanks they carried on
i their trucks. They kept the big
dairy barn sprayed with water
while the bank barn burned to
the ground.
Montgomery County Fire In
spector Thomas Slater said he,
had not determined what caused
the blaze.
Mr. Chisholm, the owner, |
lives in Baltimore. The farm is
located on Club Hollow road.

Naval Workers Told
Os Security Peril in
Consumer Magazine
Employes at the Naval Ord
nance Laboratory have been put
on notice that their security
status may be suspect if they
subscribe to the magazine Con
sumer Reports.
A bulletin has been distributed
to the laboratory personnel
which states that the Consumers’
Union, publisher of the mag
azine, has been cited as a Com
munist-front organization by the
House Committee on Un-Amer
ican Activities.
Paul J. Kern, New York attor
ney, a member of the board of
Consumers’ Union, characterized
as a "damned lie” any suggestion
that the board ever had Com
munist leanings. He said, rather,
the members are a “group of
do-gooders.”
Attorney Retained.
Mr. Kern said a Washington
attorney has been retained to
try to correct the Un-American
Activities Committee listing.
Board members, he said, have
supplied the committee with
statements they are not now nor
have they ever been members of
the Communist Party.
The magazine states its pur
poses are “to provide for con
sumers’ information and counsel
on consumer goods and services
... to give information and as
sistance on all matters relating
to the expenditure of the family
income ... to initiate and to co
operate with individual and
group efforts seeking to create
and maintain decent living
standards.”
The current July issue con
tains reports on tests of 16 air
conditioners, 87 brands of wom
en's nylon hosiery and 40 brands
of sunburn preventives. Other
articles are about silver clean
ers and polishers, automobiles,
gardening and athlete’s foot.
Issued by Officer.
The bulletin issued to the lab
oratory employes was put out by ,
Comdr. H. C. Wessling, executive
officer.
Comdr. Wessling said the bul
letin was in response to inquiries
about the magazine and the or
ganization behind it by a num
ber of employes. He said he re
frained from saying anything on
his own, but merely quoted “a
body as responsible as the House
of Representatives.”
He said the bulletin quotes
from an Un-American Activities
Committee report of May 14,
1951, citing Consumers’ Union as
a Communist-front organization
and stating it is "headed by the
Communist Arthur Kallet (whose
party name is Edward Adam),”
He said it identifies Ben Gold
and Louis Weinstock, both well
known Communists, as members
of the Labor Advisory Committee
of the Consumers’ Union.
Mr. Kallet could not be
reached in New York. Mr. Kern
said Mr. Kallet had denied to
the board he ever had any con- j
nection with Communists. Mr.;
Kallet at one time in the late ;
1930 s wrote for a health maga
zine later found to be Commu
nist and used the pen name of
Albert Adams, Mr. Kern said. j
Mr. Kern said the charge in ;
Comdr. Wessling’s bulletin was
a revival of accusations of 20
years ago. He said the chief
accuser was J. B. Matthews, who
was on a rival magazine w'hen
Consumer Reports was launched,
and who tried to undermine his
competition. Mr. Matthews, he
said, was on the staff of the
House Committee on Un-Amer
ican Activities when the first
charges were made.
This is the same Mr. Matthews
who recently resigned as chief
investigator for Senator Mc-
Carthy’s investigating committee
as the result of criticism of his
charges that Protestant min
isters formed the largest single
group supporting communism.
