" B—8 »s HONEOFDUPONTS BEING PREPARE Wedding Reception Scene Being Made Ready by Workmen. By the Associated Press. WILMINGTON, Del, June 28. — Carpenters and electricians began in earnest yesterday to construct the one-day fairyland in which Franklin Roosevelt, jr. and Ethel du Pont will celebrate their wedding at sunset ‘Wednesday. ‘The huge green-and-white canopy under which their wedding guests will dance has been raised into posi- tion and is visible from the road through the thick hedge of blooming laurel which surrounds Owl's Nest, the bride's home. Electricians are laying cable from the highway, across the lawns to the dance floor. In a field to the right of the home, farm hands are roliing the ground into a smooth parking lot for the cars that will bring the guests, and in one corner carpenters are erecting a smaller tent for the guests’ chauffeurs, who will be served some of the wedding reception refreshments. To the left of the house, and across the road, a third temporary floor and tent are being set up for the corps ©of 40 and more newspaper people and telegraphers who are expected to watch the proceedings from the gate. Inside the house the bridal couple has been kept constantly busy dashing off “thank you" notes for the dozens of wedding presents that arrive daily at the small Greenville, Del., station. ‘The post office there was so unpre- pared for the rush that the postmaster, John Warton, finally asked for help. Now the Du Pont farm wagon appears daily at the railroad crossing to meet the day's one train and cart off the day’s quota of gifte. Guest lists, as they always do, have grown. It was first planned to keep the reception to 1,000. But by now the list has grown to 1,200, another | matter which is keeping Miss Ethel busy at her desk, since the final ap- proved list of those who have accepted must be turned over to those who will watch the gate on Wednesday. Seating space in the church has been so carefully rearranged that the original 300 who were invited to see the ceremony have been raised to 350, and may go higher, as the Du Pont pastor, Rev. Frederick Ashton, dryly puts it, “according to the individual displacement, of the guests.” To one side of the house the florists began to construct the skeleton on which they will build a bower of banked Cibotium ferns to serve as a background for the bridal couple and their parents when they stand to welcome the 1,300 reception guests. ‘Work at the church will start to- morrow, and by Wednesday noon its simple Gothic interior will have been turned into a bower of white flowers and green boughs. ‘The final touch will be made Wednesday afternoon after all the guests are in their places and just as the organist strikes up the Lohengrin Wedding March.” Two florist's assist- ants will unroll a gleaming length of white satin down the church aisle from the door to the pulpit to await the tread of the satin-shod feet of Miss Du Pont and her bridesmaids.

NEW YORK, June 28 (—By a vote of three to two last night the New York American and Journal units of the Newspaper Guild of New York empowered officials to call a strike if demands for retention of those re- | cently dismissed as a result of a merger were rejected by the news- paper management.
