Following the ceremony there was a reception. The couple left afterward for a honeymoon in New York. When they return they will live at the Miller home at Shawan. Best Man Philip Poe Philip L. Poe acted as best man at the wedding.

Mrs. Abram Green, also of Dallas, through whom Mr. Miller and Mrs. Hale met here, was the maid of honor. The bride was given in marriage by Henry Lay Duer.

Martin, Aviation Machinist's Mate, Dies In Virginia Mishap Ira A. Martin, aviation machinist's mate, third class, son of Mrs. Sara Martin, of Baltimore, was killed yesterday near Fentress, when he bailed out of a plane after an aerial collision and his para chute failed to open. Two other enlisted men and one officer were killed in the same collision, the Fifth Naval District announced today at Norfolk. One Plane Crashes The plane containing the other three killed crashed after the collision.

Another man who jumped from the plane in which Martin had been landed safely. The pilot of Martin's plane, unaware that both of his passengers had jumped, remained at the controls and brought his damaged craft down safely. The others killed were Lieut, (j.g.) Richard Golden, of Seattle; aviation radioman, third class, Phillip O. Rowe, of Union City, and aviation machinist's mate, third class, Ernest E. Leeson, of Chicago.

Witness, 19, Faces Charge A 19-year-old youth who had used a lost voters card to pose as an adult in order to patronize a tavern was held in $100 bail for the grand jury today by Judge Eugene O'Dunne after he had appeared in the Criminal court as a prosecuting witness against a tavern keeper and a waitress. The youth is Fred Koeller, of Middle River. Judge O'Dunne returned guilty verdicts against Emmett Ruhl, pro prietor of a Riverview avenue tav ern, and Gay Mack, a waitress, but released them on payment of court costs. In convicting the tavern keeper and waitress, Judge O'Dunne stated that under the liquor laws regard ing sales to minors, even reason able precautions were not sufficient reasons to excuse violations, although the court could consider such facts as minimizing the offense.

Williamson Additional pledges of coopera tion with the Republican Mayor- elect, Theodore R. McKeldin. were voiced today by members of the new City Council, the political faith of which is entirely Demo cratic. Typical of others was the state ment of Maxwell Alpert (Fourth district). He said: "Partisan politics must go out the window.

This is no time for party bickering. Public good comes first." Recognize War Problems Views expressed by the members, all but six of whom are serving in the out-going Council, were prompt- led by the fact that confronting the new body will be serious problems arising out of the war and the re adjustment period. Those questioned were careful to point out that the Mayor-elect could be sure of their aid whenever the matter submitted is of benefit to the city, but that any proposal of a purely partisan nature would be treated by the Democratic Coun cil as such. The in-coming Council will be sworn in by Mr. McKeldin at noon on May 20, and after naming staff employes and arranging committee assignments it is to receive and act on the first legisla tion of the new session.

All bills now in the files and not passed by May 20 will expire. Some of these, such as up-town parking ban," are to be reintro duced before the new body. This measure prohibits rush-hour park ing and loading and unloading on portions of many traffic arteries outside the central business district. A companionneasure was enacted and now is in effect In the central area. Alpert Youngest Below are additional sketches of members of the new Council: Councilman Alpert (Fourth dis trict).

He is the youngest members of the body. Alpert Is of average height and usually wears gray suits with wide-shoulder coats. He was elected in December of last year by the membership to the district seat vacated by Daniel Ellison, who resigned to become a member of Congress. Alpert Is regarded as a student of municipal affairs and when he in frequently makes a speech on the flpor, talks easily and to the point Municipal matters are likely to be a frequent topic of discussion at the Alpert dinner table, as the councilman's wife is an employe of the Health Department. Formerly, for a number of years, she was on th staff of the City Service Com mission.

Is Practicing Attorney The Alperts live at 3402 Auchen- toroly.Terrace. The councilman was educated at the public schools, completed a course at City College and i 1933 received a law degree from the University of Baltimore. He practiced law since. Associated for a number of years with James J. Pollack, Democratic leader of the Fourth district, Alpert has mounted the political ladder rung by rung.

He was secretary to the Democratic State convention in 1940, secretary of the Democratic delegation at the National conven-j ti in Chicago which nominated President Roosevelt for a third term and then was named Reading Clerk of the Council. From that post, he stepped into the Fourth district seat. He said his favorite reading includes history, biogra phy and detective stories. Dr. Wells' Fourth Term Dr.

Charles J. Wells (Fifth district). Dr. Wells Is one of the Council veterans. The new term will be his fourth.

His attitude toward municipal affairs has been largely an independent one and his interest turns mainly to fundamentals. Frequently he has addressed his colleagues on the principles of government and ethics, rather than the details of municipal routine. In regard to the problems of the new administration, Dr. Wells said: "There should be a maximum of cooperation in the public interest and a minimum of politics. This is the time for all those, in public life to give their best for the country.

All auxiliary military nolicemen are given special training in the use ot firearms and in proper policing methods by plant protection oflicers of the ISD. Army officers nointed out that ih auxiliary military police have lurix- diction only on the property of tha plant where they are employed. However, in the event of an emere- ency, the auxiliary group could be summoned into Federal service as military police by the Internal Security Division.

Cull Sun Carrier Service, Lexington 7700. km CONS Following disclosure of damage by vandals to two Barye bronzes in Mount.

Vernon Place, park officials reported that wanton damage in the parks over the past several years has been on the increase. Most of the damage, said George Nichols, superintendent of parks, is of the petty variety, but in the aggregate it causes the needless expenditure every year of hun dreds of dollars. The property destruction in cludes the damaging of sanitary facilities, smashing of light globes. tearing limbs and branches from trees and shrubbery, cutting hal yards on flagpoles and cutting and chopping of park benches. Rowdyism At Mansion House An example of rowdyism, also reported increasing, occurred on Saturday, said J.

V. Kelly, Park Board secretary, in the concession on the ground floor of the Mansion House in Druid Hill Park. An unusually large crowd was in the concession that day. Upon find ing the service was not as prompt as they desired, some of the cus tomers began to grab packages of cakes from the counters and throw them about, and knock over chairs and damage tables. When the place was finally cleared, the concessionaire decided to refuse admittance to the public on Sunday.

Instead, all transactions were made at the doors and through the windows that form part of the walls of the concession area. Police Force Understaffed One of the reasons for the in ability to put a sufficient curb on this type of mass expressiveness, Mr. Nichols said, is the fact that the Park Police Deoartment is understaffed, with no immediate prospects, due to the general labor situation, of bringing the force anywhere near full strength. Mr. Nichols said he was unable to determine whether the disorder and damage is due to the general letdown of discipline, caused by parents being away from home long hours at war jobs, or whether it is traceable to the influx of persons from rural areas of other States.

Some of the examples of vandal ism listed by Mr. Kelly over the past two' years included: The theft of a marble drinking fountain for horses from the Garrett Bridge on Crow's Nest road in Druid Hill Park. The fountain, he said, was a replica of a famous Italian work of art and was in the form of a boar's head. Equipment Braces Cut Cutting of braces and supports of playground installations and equipment, with hacksaws. Smashing windows in hothouses and garages and the stealing of park tools.

Throwing two large concrete in cinerators over a high iron fence into the shallow water of the sea-lions pool. Most of the damage, said the park official, is evidently the work of youths in the 12-to-16 age group, but some of the destruction, such as that of throwing the incinerators into the sealions' pool, must be the Continued On Page 30, Column 5 Peanut Causes Death Of Baby A peanut caused the death of a 21-month-old Rowlancville infant here yesterday following a seem ingly successful bronchoscope oper ation at the Union Memorial Hos pital. The child, James D. Ewing, was rushed to the hospital Sunday by his parents, and a staff doctor removed the peanut in three pieces by means of a bronchoscope. The baby rested well Sunday night, but physicians said a swelling of the larynx caused his death yesterday.

Firemen Rescue Draff Board Members Locked In Office Find Escape Ladders Wouldn't Work The No. 4 hook and ladder company had to be "drafted" last night to tear local draft board No. 18 away from its job. After a four hour session of handing our reclassifications and considering appeals in its offices at 110 East Lexington street, the board was ready to call it a day and go home shortly after 11 P. M.

Found Door Locked When Murray L. Schuster, secretary of the board, Bernard B. Feikin, Government appeal agent, Harry S. Herman and Miss Fannie Moses and Miss Marie Coonan, clerks, got to the front door of the building they found it locked. The board's key to the door proved worthless so they decided to try the fire escape.

When they got to the fire esckpe equipped with a drop ladder from the second to ground floor they found that the drop ladder wouldn't drop. Called For Help Raising windows of the front of the building the five imprisoned members tried calling for help but by this time the street was deserted. Mr. Schuster finally put in a telephone call to the Folic Department which summoned the near-by No. 4 hook and ladder company.

Ladders were put up to the second floor windows and the two women clerks carried down by firemen. The three men climbed down the ladder un: aided.

MacCormick, noted criminologist and director of the Osborne Association, today told the Child Study Association annual meeting. "Commando-conscious children cannot be convinced that street-fighting is bad." Mr. MacCormick said at the Lord Baltimore Hotel.

"What does truancy mean to a boy who has seen movies of young soldiers fighting and struggling through the New Guinea jungle? When violence is our national goal, how can we keep our young people from accepting the pattern of death and destruction?"

Philip H. Goodman, an attorney and precinct warden in Precinct Zone 4, of the Baltimore Civilian Defense organization, said there are about 1,600 residents in the two blocks and only two air-raid wardens. There ought to be no fewer than twenty-five wardens and fire watchers.

Goodman said, and the surprise demonstration was arranged to snap householders out of their lethargy, but not actually out of their beds. Police Okay Reported The demonstration was supposed to simulate an incendiary bomb and gas attack. According to Goodman, the police had said there would be no objection to it. So, at about 10.45, the two blocks were roped off and the bedlam began. "About twenty-five wardens with whistles participated," said Goodman, "and, in addition, we had five gas rattles.

The rattles are very noisome. One is loud enough to arouse a whole block, so you can imagine the racket five made."

The streets were lurid with flares and bonfires and the night was filled with the shrilling of the wardens' whistles, the slack and clatter of their gas rattles, the cries of the stretcher crews and the protests of the householders whose rest had been disturbed.
