WASHINGTON.— (AP) —
President Roosevelt and house

extension of NRA and giving
the recovery agency jurisdic

WASHINGTON — (#) — Roose
velt forces counted on Hugh S.
Johnson .and Willlam Green to give
a boost today to the administra
tion’s plan for extending NRA two
years.
The former Blue Eagle chief and
the president of the American
Federation of Labor, who declared
in a speech in New York last night
that there would be a nation
wide general strike unless congress
extends NRA two years and passes
other legislation, were invited to
testify before the house ways and

There were indications that the
committee would approve prompt

President Roosevelt, and Donald R.

Adminstration leaders hoped to get
the bill through the house next
week.
Speed Necessary
Speed is necessary, they indicated
if action is to be taken before the
present NRA expires June 16. How
ever, in the senate there were reit

all intra-state commerce from its

Impressive Rites Mark
Marriage of Ingrid
To Frederik r
By ELMER W. PETERSON
Associated Press Foreign Staff
STOCKHOLM.—#)—In ‘the 13th
century church where all kings of
the Bernadotte lineage .in Sweden
have been crowned, Princess Ingrid
became the wife today of Crown
Prince Frederik of Denmark and
Iceland. By the same token she
became a future queen.
It was a royal wedding, born of
tradition, and executed with pomp
and splendor but it had an aura of
romance amid the glitter of polish
ed swords and burnished boots and
the formality of court ritual.
“7, Ingrid, take you, Frederik, my
lawful husband, to love you through
sorrow and pleasure, and as a sym
bol I accept from you this ring.”
With these words and the recital
of the other vows of the Swedish
marriage service, two people in
love were wed—a blue-eyed young
woman and a tall, dark-haired,
studions, young man.
Ceremony in Cathedral
The wedding service was con
ducted in the Stockholm pro-cath
edral, known as Storkyrkan, with
its restored Gothic architecture
and 18th century furnishings.
Visiting royalty, headed by King
Leopold and Queen Astrid of Bel
gium, entered through a special
door to take their places in the
royal pews directly in front of the
altar.

Curtain to Rise Tonight
At Eight-Thirty -
By KATHERYN SEAGRAVES
Thalian-Blackfriars will close
their 1934-35 season tonight at
8:30 with the second performance
of “The Royal Family,” the initial
opening being held last night wih
a largeaudience of “first nighters”
applauding the comedy-farce by
George 8. Kaufman and Edna Fer
ber.
The scene is In . the apartment
of the Cavendishes ip the East Fif
ties, New York. The Cavendished
are “The Royal Family of Broad
way”, and proud of their family
tradition.
“They always come back”-—seems
to fit exactly the theme of the
entire presentation. Gwen Caven
dish, Celeste Moore, the first of the
Cawvendishes who decides to leave
the stage, marries Perry Stewart,
John Lester. Both roles were well
enacted last night, Miss Moore
giving an excellent portrayal of a
rising young actress.
Almost weak with laughter, the
audience viewed the preposterous
ness of the mad, hectic household
of the Cavendishes. Sentiment
mixed with mad hilarity, insane
antics and seemingly impossible
happenings—all this applies to the
Cawvendishes.
Before the family has had time
to fully recover from Gwen’'s quit
