Rita And Aly Wed;
Moslem Rites
Slated To Follow
CANNES, France, May 28. (JPl
Two Moslem Imam (priests) ar
rived today from Paris to per
form Moslem marriage rites for
Rita Hayworth and Prince Aly
Khan who were married in civil
rites yesterday at nearby Val
laurls. Just when the Moslem cere
mony will take place remains a
question. Yesterday Rita and Aly
were lalKing aoout naving me
Moslem rites in Paris.
Si Kaddour Ben Ghabrit, head
of the Moslem church in France,
said in Paris:
"A Moslem marriage is a very
simple ceremony. It only means
that the husband must declare
the amount of dowry he is giving
his wife. Then the marriage is
registered in the Moslem rec
ords." The newlyweds were In seclu
sion today at their luxurious Cha
teau de L'Horizon.
Gone were the gay, beautifully
dressed guests who yesterday
toasted their wedding In cham
pagne (the Prince provided 15
bottles per guest), strolled around
the scented swimming pool and
tasted caviar and other delica
cies. Intimate friends of the couple
lingered Into the early hours of
the morning on the hrlehtly-llt
terraces overlooking the blue Me
diterranean. The Prince and Princess said
they would still be at the Chateau
Inte this afternoon, but beyond
that their plans are their own
secret.
Where will tney spend ineir
honeymoon?
Well, Rila giggled yesterday,
it will involve some traveling.
Alv chimed in to say that he
hoped to attend the English
Derhv at Ensom Downs June 4
and "I'm sure my wife will come
with me."
The Prince is heir to the spirit
ual leadership of the Ismalll Mos
lems now held by his iatner, me
Aga Kahn.
Rltn wns horn a Roman Cath
olic. If she still considers herself
one, a Vatican source saia yes
terday, the Moslem marriage serv
ice would automatically excom
municate her.

mation Commissioner Mitchael

Magnuson was closely Question
ed by the committee members as
to need for the CVA and wheth
er it would be any improvement
over the work now being done
by the Engineers and the recla
mation bureau.
He insisted it would, and would
provide an overall authority to
control the development of the
basin, remove conflicts between
the Engineers and the Reclama
tion Bureau and other agencies,
and produce a more economical
development.
Senator Watkins (R.Utah) In
sisted that a better way would be
to create an interstate commis-
mlsslon to which the government
could turn over the property
when it is paid for. He said he
believes that alter tne cost ot
the rievelnnment is naid. the pro
jects should be turned over to
the people of the area as is done
with reclamation projects.
General Pick reviewed the En
gineers comprehensive plan for
development of the river basin
which he said looks far into the
future. He said the total cost
of the plan is estimated at $2,

Dr. James Monroe Smith, 60,

scandals in 1939. In subsequent
developments he, former Gov.
Richard Leche and a number of
others were sent to prison.
Smith was convicted In state
courts of obtaining nearly a half
million dollars through forged
bonds and using the funds in an

ket. He was sentenced to serve
eight to 24 years but his sentence
was commuted alter he served
six years.
In federal court he and four

President Wants
Congress To Stay
On Job Longer
WASHINGTON, May 28. (JPl
Democratic leaders were re
ported today to be aiming for an
August 15 adjournment of Con
gress even if several of Presi
dent Truman's measures are left
untouched.
An influential Democrat who
asked not to be quoted bv name
told a reporter the president's
assertion Congress ought to stay
in session until it passes most of
his program doesn t mean that s
going to happen.
Despite Mr. Truman's state
ment that every one of a score
or more of his proposals deserves
priority rating, there were signs
that he may have to be satisfied
with final action on a half dozen.
And Senator Taft (R.-Ohio)
predicted that one of these
proposed repeal of the Taft
Hartley act may reach the presi
dent in such form that he will he
tempted to veto it.
Besides action on the labor
measure, congressional leaders
are pushing for a House vote on
Senate-passed long-range housing
and school aid bills.
Because of the illness of Sena
tor George (D.-Ga.), the Senate
probably will delay action on the
House-approved reciprocal trade
measure until it disposes of the
labor bill. The North Atlantic
Security treaty also remains to
be acted upon.
Neither House yet has taken a
crack at the president's proposal
to boost the minimum wage
level, but leaders say they want
action on it.
This program would leave un
touched the president's proposals
for broadening Social Security
coverage, setting up a system of
universal medical care, putting
into effect a new farm subsidy
plan, enacting civil rights legisla
tion and increasing taxes.

Heckle Pair Of
Ousted Teachers
CORVALLIS, May 28. (Jpu
Two ousted professors protested
again Thursday, and in turn un
derwent some severe questioning
from a student audience.
The two, Dr. Ralph Spltzer,
associate professor of chemistry,
and L. R. La Vallee, assistant
professor of economics at Oregon
State College, asserted academic
freedom was endangered.
Spitzer urged the audience of
300, mostly students, to "refuse
to allow campuses to become rub
ber stamps of orthodoxy." He
added that Dr. A. L. Strand,
president of O. S. C, was a vic
tim of the cold war.
The meeting was called by the
Young Progressives organization.
Strand sat through the hour-long
session without taking part. Later
he commented:
"The fact that the college pro
vided a hall for them to attack
me and the Institution and paid
the cost of the set-up and the
loud speaker should be good evi
dence that no one is being denied
academic freedom on this cam
pus." In a question period following
the main speech, a student asked
Spitzer whether he was a mem
ber of the Communist party.
Spitzer refused to say. He declar
ed that no one has the right to
question a man's political or
religious beliefs. A man should
be judged on his actions and not
on the basis of membership in
any organization, he said.
La Vnllee denounced what he
said was the control of education
by big business. He cited the
number of businessmen on lead
ing college trustee boards.
Both refused to discuss quA
tions about academic freedom irr
Communist-dominated countries.
They said their information was
too scanty, and that It had no
bearing on the desirability ot
academic freedom in this country.
The services of both will end
June 11. The two, on yearly
tenure, were notified last Febiu
ary that they would not be rehired.
