All of the street department and sewage department workers were out Monday cleani catch basins that were stopped up by dead leaves. McQuinn said that the heavy rains covered the catch basins with dead leaves and would not allow the surface water to be drained off. He added that in several cases enough of the dead leaves went down into the sewers to stop them up, and he received reports from nearly a dozen homes where the sewers were stopped up and the surface water was forced into basements. McQuinn suggested that the leaves be burned or hauled away from the street so that the sewers will not be plugged up every time there is a big rain. All sewer department employes are working again today to clear the stopped up catch basins.

Beriin Brides Demand Marriage Carriage BERLIN UP- The way to get! married first class in Berlin is to! hire a white, rubber-tired "marriage carriage" drawn by four white horses.

You get a two-horse outfit for about half the money but your bride might pout at this. The cost for a -horse wedding is 95 marks or about 23 dollars. It includes two uniformed coachmen with silk top hats. Oddly enough, an America army sergeant, Paul Ongstad of Westport, "founded" the white carriage tradition in when he married a pretty German girl, Ursula Bauer. Up to that time, the bridal carriages were black.

Gustav Schoene, proprietor of the oldest and largest firm supplying the carriages, says that white is now overwhelming preference of Berlin newlyweds. Schoene claims his white car riage WAS the of its kind in Berlin and was first used six years ago by the American sergeant and his bride. The idea caught on so well that a German song was written about it with the title "Eine Weisse zeitskutsche" (A White Weddin Carriage). Schoene supplies carriages for an average of 15 weddings a week but says, a bit ruefully, that only two or three of these use the de luxe four-horse rigs. Schoene's firm was founded by his father in 1894 and has been run by three generations of the family.

He is at present assisted by his two sons, Paul, 28, and Joachim, 26. Their stables house 24 horses of which 1 14 are all white. They say they are the only ones in West Berlin who can furnish teams for four white horses or more. The firm owns seven white: carriages, outfitted white cushioned seats and white silk tains. According to custom, the marriage carriage calls first at the home of the bridegroom, then collects the bride and proceeds to the church.

After the ceremony, the couple returns in the carriage to the bride home for a reception. Schoene also supplies automo biles tor weddings but he considers them new fashioned and not very romantic. The World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON A -Communistsin government turned out to be an issue, after all, in the 1954 political campaign, which has been otherwise as dull as any in years. It shows signs now of being a mean and angry issue. Late last year, after his program to get security risks out of the government had been operating some months.

Eisenhower expressed hope that by this year's election time Peds-in government would no longer be an issue. Just as Eisenhower had predicted, the congressional election campaign started off with practically nothing said about subversives or security risks in government. But recently Vice President Nixon blew the lid off with a statement the administration was removing "Communists, fellow travelers and security risks not by the hundreds but by the thousands." Stephen A. Mitchell, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, accused Nixon of lying and challenged him to name a single Communist let out under Eisenhower's security program. The President on April 27, 1953.

issued an order setting up a program to get security risks off the government payroll. A security risk could be a drunk. a sex pervert. a man who talked too much, a man with a criminal record, or one who had been a member of the Communist party or an organization sympathetic to it. In October 1953, Eisenhower announced 1.456 security risks had been separated from the government.

He upped this figure to 2.200 in! his State of the message to Congress last January. Democrats began to demand a breakdown to show just how many of the 2.200 were actually subversive. They charged that Republican speakers who commented on Elsenhower's figures were trying to: put over the idea that most of the 2.200 were Communists or subversives left from the Truman ad-! ministration. In March 1954. Philip Young, mission.

chairman of came the up Civil with Service a breakwhich raised to 2.486 the number of security risks separated from the government. More than half of them had resigned. But Young said that of the total 2.486 classified as security risks. 429 had information in their files indicating subversive activities or associations. But, he conceded, he could say that this information about.

subversive activities or associations had resulted in the firing or resignation of a single one of the government workers. Monday the Civil Service Commission announced 6,926 persons have been separated from the government under the security pro and that 1,743 were fired gram or resigned with subversive data in their files. That figure 1 was 1,314 more than the 429 who, Young said in March, had subversive informaticn in their files and were let out. The commission said that out of 6.926 security risks no longer on the payroll, 2,611 were fired and 4,315 resigned "before determination was completed in cases where the file was known to contain unfavorable information." Young Drivers Borrow Bus PHILADELPHIA (P -Two teenage riders asked bus driver Frank Gallagher what time his bus would leave the terminal. Gallagher replied there would be a five minute wait.

Then he went into the washroom. When he returned the young riders were gone and so was the bus. Fifteen minutes later the bus was discovered three miles away, its motor still running. It was sitting at a corner on its regular route. DR.

Mitchell has argued that Nixon was lumping subversive cases with others who, under the President's program, might be called security risks but were not disloyal. This is a fight which seems to be just starting. Farm Yields Above Normal, Report Shows WASHINGTON (A) Farmers are harvesting average or above average yields of most crops this fall despite a severe drought in wide areas and government planting restrictions. The Agriculture Department estimated Monday that the volume of crops produced this year will be 99 per cent of the 1947-49 average compared with 98 per cent indicated a month ago, 103 per cent last year and a record high of 106 in 1948. Record crops of soybeans, rice and sugar beets are being harves-, ted.

with oats and barley nearrecord. Many other crops exceed average production, including rye, flaxseed, sorghum grain, cotton, hay, dry beans, tobacco, sugarcane and cranberries. The only crops turning out below peas, peanuts, potatoes, average include spring, wheat, dry broomcorn and pecans. The department said fall plowing and seeding of grains in the North made about the usual progress. But in the South, soil preparation was seriously delayed until recent rains made it practicable.

In the Great Plains, August rains were said to have some early seeding of wheat for harvest next year, but that growth, has largely come to a standstill. Further seeding has been delayed until rains come.
