September 37:
Washington, about two days: \

Due Today After
Record Hot Night
A record high of 100 degrees
• was forecast for the Washing
ton area today, marking the
10th straight day at 90-plus
temperatures.
The previous all-time high
for an August 22 was 97 degrees
in 1916. The all-time high for
the Washington area, not likely
to be challenged today, was 106
degrees in 1918. also in August.
After reaching 100 between
4 and 5 pjn., the thermometer
should drop to around 75 to
night, with some cloudiness and
a chance of scattered showers,
the forecaster said. Tomorrow
should be cloudy and cooler
with a few showers likely.
The Weather Bureau said
last night’s low of 79 degrees
equaled the record for hot
August nights s6t in 1917.
The curent heat wave is ap
proaching a record. Eleven
straight 90-degree days were
recorded in July, 1952, and the
granddaddy of all heat waves
here occurred in August, 1900,
when the mercury climbed to
90 or above for 14 straight days.

Budget Cuts Expected
To Exceed $1 Billion
Largest Reduction Seems Certain
To Be Made in Foreign Aid Fund
Bjr th« Associated Prtu
Both branches of Congress now have passed 15 of the 16
money bills for the current financial year, and the goal of
a fair-sized budget cut appears to be in sight.
The Senate cleared a $1,428,178,700 military construction
measure yesterday, its 50th fiscal 1960 bill,
and now has only the foreign
aid bill to debate. The House
has acted on all 16.
Thirteen of the 16 measures
actually have been sent to the
White House. On these an
over-all reduction of $235 mil
lion below President Eisen
hower’s requests has been
achieved.
Cut of Billion Seen
But the biggest cut of all is
almost certain to be made on
foreign aid. When this meas
ure and the two money bills
still being worked on by
Senate-House conferees reach
the White House, the total re
duction is expected to exceed
a billion dollars. It may reach
almost a billion and a half.
The House claimed a cut of
$1,244,000,000 in its action on
the foreign aid bill, although
some legislators charged this
was achieved partly through
legerdemain with figures.
These sources contend that
the budget figure of $4,436,-
277,000 used by the House as
Mr. Eisenhower’s request for

LONDON. Aug. 22 (AP).—Sir
Thomas Beecham, the petulant
patriarch of the podium, wound
up a satisfactory recording of
Handel’s, "The Great Elope

British maestro and his 27-
year-old secretary, Shirley Hud

and disclosed they had eloped.
Sir Thomas, conductor of the

Friends described his yoUng

She is his third wife.
Their elopement was kept se

advertised it in a London news
paper.
A six-line notice in the Daily

French failed in their last

The French conducted that

Dozen Pens Used by President
In Hawaii's Statehood Signing
lr the Aeeoclated Prcee
Hawaii, the jewel-llke chain
of islands 2,400 miles west of
the mainland, has brought the
United States of America to
an even 50.
Using a dozen pens to sign
his name. President Eisenhower
proclaimed its statehood yes
terday. It was the second time
in less than a year that he
performed such a historic 1
duty—Alaska became a State
January 3.
As Hawaii followed Alaska
into the Union, the President
also signed an executive order
fixing the design of the 50-star
flag. With a twinkle, he re
marked that he’s running out
of ideas for flag designs.
' Wishes “Good Luck”
The new flag which becomes
official next July 4 has the same
13 red and white stripes. But
its square field in the upper
left comer has nine rows of
stars, arranged in staggered
fashion with five and six-star
rows alternating.
“All 49 States will join in
welcoming the new one—Ha
waii—to this union,” the
President said. “We wish for
her prosperity, security, happi
ness, and a growing closer rela
tionship with all of the other
States.
“We know that she is ready
to do her part to make this
union a stronger Nation—a
stronger people than it was be
fore because of her presence as
a full sister to the other 49
States.
“So all ~of us say to her,
‘Good luck.’ ”
The President began signing
the documents at 4:03 p.m.
Washington time. The black
and-white plastic pens he used
were distributed to some of
those present as souvenirs. The
new flag, its silken folds
shining, was unfurled.
Governor Takes Office
Edward Johnston, Secretary
of Hawaii, rushed to an open
| telephone in the next room at
the White House to give the,
news to Gov.-Elect William F.
Quinn, who was waiting in
Honolulu’s lolani Palace.
It was 10:16 a.m. Hawaii
time. “Ladles and gentlemen,”
Mr. Quinn told the gathering
in his office, “Hawaii is now a
State.” He then was sworn in
as the State’s first Governor.
People went about their busi
ness on the palm-lined streets
of Honolulu. There were no
public celebrations.

By RELMAN MORIN
Auoclattd Preu Staff Writer
SOGNE, Norway, Aug. 22.
Anne Marie Rasmussen mar
ried Steven Rockefeller today
and became a member of the
millionaire family for whom '
she once worked as a parlor
maid.
The service lasted 45 min
utes. During most of that time
Steven hardly took his eyes off
his bride.
When she entered on the
arm of her father, Steven rose
and watched while she walked
slowly down the center aisle.
Anne Marie, beautiful in a
white wedding gown with a
pearl studded veil, kept her
eyes downcast. But when she
was about 10 feet from the
altar rail, she raised her head,
glanced at Steven and smiled.
She looked pale.
Church Near Bride’s Home
They pronounced their vows
In a country church on a gentle
knoll, within sight of the bride’s
family home.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York and Steven’s
brothers, sisters and a sister
in-law witnessed the Lutheran
ceremony seated on wooden
benches on the right side of
the church.
Mrs. Rockefeller and Anne
Marie’s father, Kristian Ras
mussen, retired grocer and fish
merchant, sat together near the
altar on the same side.
The bride's mother, Lovise,
watched the rites from the op
posite side of the center aisle,
which was decorated with pink
carnations and roses.
They Give Their Hands
The high spot in the ritual
came when the Rev. Olav
Gautestad, vicar of Sogne Par
ish Church, asked the young
couple, in turn, whether they
would take each other as man
and wife. Then he said:
“Now give each other your
hand on that.”
Steven took Anne Marie’s
hand in his and the Vicar
placed his hands over theirs and
solemnly pronounced the tra
ditional phrase:
“You have promised each
other that you will live in
matrimony, and have confessed
before God and man and given
your hand on it, and I now pro
claim that you are man and
wife. In the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost.”
The wedding ceremony began
; at 4 p.m. (10 ajn. EDT).
Fifteen minutes earlier Gov.
Rockefeller entered the church
escorting Anne Marie’s mother.
Mrs. Rockefeller entered a
moment after with Steven.
Bride and Father Enter
Then, on the stroke of 4,
• Anne Marie passed through the
1 huge front door of the church
s with her father. Her bright
, blond hair gleamed from be
-1 neath a white veil. Her wedding
r dresss, with a floor length hem,
s was of white duchesse silk.
5 To the strains of Wagner’s
wedding march, they walked
toward the distant altar until
! Anne Marie stopped at Steven’s
5 side.
