| LONDON.—(®)—A romance like
ia fairy tale of fiction came true
Thursday with the wedding at
'noon of Sigvard, prince of Sweden,
}duke of Uppland and grandson of
‘the Swedish king, to the beautiful
Fraulein Erika latzek, 22-year-old
daughter of a Berlin industrialist.
In taking his commoner brideat
a registry office in the heart of
busy L.ondon, the 26 - year - old
prince—like I.ennart, his cousin—
abandoned his princely rights for
a romantic union with the girl of
his dreams.
* Obviousiy happy, the two were
wed by the “marrying” superin
tendent of the registry office, aid
ed by the assistant registrar. 3
rThe ceremony was of only a few
minutes’ duration, Each had only
two sentenceg t, say. Erika's
brother, George Patzek, a German
'la.wyer, and George (Gordon, Prince
‘Sigvard’'s attorney, were to have
‘been the only w?nesses but two
unexpected guestd arrvived —the
inspector . general of registraftion
from Somerset house, Scott Cowan,
with his wife. Mrs. Cowan is
Swedish and consequently they
were invited to attend® the cere

There was a slight break ‘in the
calm just before the wedding when
twy Britons insisted on their
rights as British subjects to wit
ness the ceremony. Only six per
sons can avail themselves of this
right, however, ‘and they were fi
nally persuaded to wait at the en
trance to the hall
After the ceremony, the little
couple made a smooth getaway.
The prince laughed and waved his
hand as he helped the bride into a
limousine, closing the door against
a smalt shower of rice from the
crowd which packed the streets.
Prince Sigvard received the con
gratulations of Prince Lennart but
none of hig intimates would say
whether: he had received a mes

[ E. E. Lamkin was elected tem
‘porary chairman of the Hunter's
jgrcup organized in the Chambers
lof Commerce building last nizht]l
when hunters from throughout thix»‘
‘section gathered to hear Represen
tatide Wright of the Fish and
Game department of Georgia speak
on preservatign® of wild life in
Georgia. A meeting for 'perma.-!
manent organization of the group |
will be held next Wednesday n'ight‘
at 8 o'clock in the City hall. .
Mr. Wright spoke on proposed
changes in tde hunting laws, in
cluding a turkey law, a stricy buek
law for deer shooting, polution
laws to prevent manufacturing
companies from polluting streams
with the chemical. wash, and other |
matters, including fishing Hcenqis.
He algo said he believed that byi
increasing the hunting license, and
insisting .that a portion of both
gtate and. county collections from
this . should go to repopulation,
much good can be done, and Geor
gia wild life can once more flour
{sh as it did. "
, The speaker seemed very much
pleased with the response received
in this section for land for a gov
ernment game preserve.
“The ‘Oconee river region around
here, he said, “is an ideal spot
}for such a preserve, since it is the
only swamp region in northe Geeor
gia, and is an ideal place for deer,
turkey, and other wild life. I am
perscnally interested in this pre
serve, and I am backing it with all
I have. The government has al
‘;lotted (leorgia only a small num
‘ber of acres for game preserves.
‘but T want to see one of the larg
est in the state right in this terri
tory at the head of the Oconee
river.”
Discussing the game and fish
department, Mr. Wright said that
{ts purpose was three-fold: t, ed
ucate the people to the proper care
of wild life; to get the sportsman
to set an example in this work;
and t, enflorce the hunting laws,
He scored hunters who refuse to.
abide by the laws, but insist in be

Twenty witnesses testified Wed

a Madison Square Garden rally,
‘apd their testimony was a blister
ous despotism which menaces the
Hitlerism. i
At the end, the . ‘verdiet,” read
by Senator Millard E. Tydings of

progress of mankind toward peace
and freedom, and is a present
threat against = civilized life

It was not in a true sense a
trial, for the defense was not rep
resented. The rally functioned
more as a grand jury. The “wit

and others, with Samuel Seabury,

Recital” at University

Musical compositions that Athens,
audiences have grown to like most,
twenty-five of them, will be play
ed tonight by Hugh Hodgson, head
of the department of music at the
University, in a “Raffle Recital”,
to begin at elght o’clock.
' Mr, Hodgson, in offering this
unusual form of recital at the reg
ular meeting of the Thursday
night music appreciation class,
}stabes that during his connection
with the Unlverauir he has often
wondered which selections his ;u-’
diences like most, and tonight will
be an experiment in determining'
the llkes and disllkes of Athens
music lovers, both in regard to
composers and compositions,
A list of one hundred and sixty |
titles will be given each member
of tonight's audience at the Uni
versity ehapel and twenty-five
persons, to be selected by chance,
will each be allowed to name one
of the selections to be offered on
the program. The list will include
a wide variety cos titles and au-
thors, ranging from the early clas
sie school to the modern romantic,
During the five years that the
weekly class in music appreciation
has been part of the University
curriculum it has grown to be an
outstanding part of Athens’ cul
tural life. Started primarily through
the insistence of a few music lov-
ers why numbered less than fifty
persons at the early programs, it
has now reached the point. where
the chapel is frequently so crowd

acclaim, but the regular attend
ance of large crowds at this own
