Alison Bridgeport, #eb. 21 (UP)—Rev. Alexander Alison, Jr., wants it un- derstood the “honeymoon reumion” he’s holding in parish hall tonight is nothing scientific—just an informal #athering of folks. “We have no special motive and don’t expect to accomplish anything in particular,” the ruddy-cheeked, huskey 55-ycar-old pastor explained today. “I've invited most of the 400 couples I've married during 12 years in the First Presbyterian church to come down to the parish hall to- night, eat a chicken dinner, hear #some good music, listen-to interest- ing speakers and then chat together ahout married life, + “The Ladies' Aid has prepared & fine menu and I've received more than 150 acceptances,” he continued. Rev. Alison’s reunion -will bring together old and young, widowed and divorced, and his guests will range on the social scale from clerk to millionaire Not Many Divorcees “I don't expect many divorced couples.” said the clergyman. “I'm proud to say the divorce rate among “my’ couples is very low.” Tables have been set up in the long, low-ceilinged parish hall and churchwomen were busy this morn- ing laying out plates, silver and pa- per napkins. The guests will be marshaled out- side the hall, Alison said, and promptly at 6:30 will file into the dining hall to the strains of Lohen- gren's famous “Wedding March,” played by a stringed orchestra. After the guests have been seated, a soprano will sing “Oh Promise Me"” and *I Love You Truly.” *This probably will be a better op- portunity for these people to appre- ciate these songs, which on their first hearing they were too emotion- ally agitated to appreciate,” ex- plained the pastor, tongue in cheek. Six Spoéches Listed Alison will act as toastmaster, in- troducing the six scheduled speak- ers who' will run the gamut of home problems. Common Pleas Judge Earl Garlick will discuss the divorce evil; Merril [ L. Beach, banker, will talk about thrift; High School Principal James C. Moore will deal with the topic chool and Home;"” will explain insurance; Captain Har- | old Eddy will tell about militarism, 1 and Rev. | sponsor, will speak on religion and the home. After that, the party will be & free-for-all, according to Alison, and anyone who thinks he has some- thing worthwhile to contribute about marriage or the home is free to speak—it he can get the floor. ‘I don’t know if we will ‘get any- where',” said the minister, “but it will be interesting. A representative group of the persons I have united in marriage during 12 years is a pretty good cross-section of life dur- ing that m'rlod 22 |GRAHAM-PAIGE HAS FIVE MODELY ’Gronp Tncludes New Model 8- { Cylinder in Popular Price Class : Graham Paige marks the begin- Pl ing of its second year with the pre- sentation of a line comprising five s models, including a new 123 sepower eight-cylinder car of ch wheelbase to sell at a pop- ular price.

The result is an unusually good-looking effect at the front of the body enclosure, In general, all models reflect the latest modes in design and trim. Their appearance is enhanced by the. use of one-piece crowned fenders of graceful sweeping contour. Radiators are of greater depth, and there are new style head lamps, matched by cowl lamps mounted on a cowl band, all chromium plated. Narrow ver- tical louvres, set back from the ra- diator line, aid greatly to the ap- parent length of the hoods. Throughout the line, the bodies reveal careful effort to meet the de- mand for comfort, appearance, and durability. 8paciousness is counsist- ently attained in all models. The smaller cars show the same painstaking attention to comfort, convenience, and looks as the larger cars. For instance, the upholstery material of the smallest model is Chase mohair, and the body has a luxury usually associated with cost- lier cars, being fitted with arm rests with inset receptacles comaininz a notebook and a mirror. Model 837, the largest of the line, naturally has special deluxe fea- tures of interior trim and equip- ment., Genuine walnut window and wainscoling panels, the latter hav- ing pewter inlays, and special panels worked in the fabric on the doors, are among its exclusive effects.

Colonel Lawrence’s Latest Status as British Nation- al “What-Is-It” Creates Public Demand for Facts London, Feb. 21. M—Col. T. E. Lawrence, mystery man of the Gritish government services, is agaln filling the spotlight as the great, national “What-is-it " Once known as the “UncroWned King of the Arabs” Lawrence is now labeled by the whisperers as “puper-spy” ' of the imperial inter- ests {n India. Aroused by the silent hero's fur tive return to England from Bom- bay, a puzsled public is demanding to be let into the secret of Law- rence's alleged activities againat Soviet influence in Asia. It was as “Aircraftman Shaw" in the Royal Air Force that Lawrence —the most unsuccessful dodger of publicity in modern times—went out for a tour of duty in India many months ago. When he came back recently he fed the flames of popu- lar curiosity by fleeing all reporters and calling himself “Mr. 8mith.” Traveled Third Class Just a simple enlisted man in- his | Majesty's air service, is the explan- ' ation which official quarters have blandly issued when frgquently tax- ed about Lawrence's status, and the romantic young bachelor traveled all the way home in this charatter, as a third class passenger. But—his admirers want to know —why did he take his meals in private throughout the long jour- ney? Why was he disembarked at Plymouth by a naval tender, and then waited upon by an admiral? In recent months rumors of Law- ence's operations in performance of “missions” in Indla have followel one another at short intervala, Some of them have been denied. others have been ignored by au- thorities. ‘Wherever disorders have occurrel in the Indian poesessions, there the mystical Lawrence was presumed to be, gaining information for his government. Mized in Afghan Affairs “Aircraftman Shaw,” persistent “underground” teports have de- clared, has been the head of an ex- tensive, all-secing intelligence ser- vice on the Afghan-Indian border. Again, thev said, he was working his strange magic ¢on the internal af- fairs of Afghanistan. These reports, the initiated say. were circulated by Soviet agencies which charge that Lawrence is the chief ‘of a propaganda service against the Russian governme:t and influence. Not long ago, a fakir sitting in the duat at an Indian funeral was| arrested, and it was the general be- lief in that district that he was La rence, carrying on -his romantic | activities. Wherever communistic agitaticy has flamed out- in Southern and Western Asla, there fantastic storics have placed him in all the mystical draperies of the east, Protest Masquerade But now a public is insisting that the truth he told < about “Aircraftman Shaw.” They protest that it nonsensical and undignified to continue such a mas- | querade of the shy, scholarly man . who with patience, tact, will-power and amazing physical endurance, or- ganized restless tribes of the Ara- hian. desert and’ made possible the destruction of the Turkish armics in Arabia and Palestine. “If he is doing special duties,” an influential London journal demands. “Colonel Lawrence should be trans- ferred to another sphere and given the appropriate status. “If he is not, the air authoritiss lh_ould consider seriously the effect of his ambiguous position on of- ficers and men, as well as on pub- lic opinion here and abroad.” Another paper suggests that Lawrence really desires personai privacy, he should retire into the classic shades of Oxford. Dut the greater part of the Brit- ish public would feel An acute, sen- timental loss, if their adventurous sphinx should b= stripped of his ro- mantic glamor by any commonplace explanation of his “miraculous” ac- tivities, or restored to routine duties.
