Little Prince Michael of Kent, a
page, stumbled twice, tugging at
the bride’s long lacey train but not
losing his grip. Quickly Princess
Margaret Rose, chief bridesmaid,
stepped forward and steadied the
child.
Momentarily confused, Michael
shot a glance at his mother, the
elegant duchess seated with Eliza
beth’s family on the north side of
the sanctuary, and then passed on
while the organist drove full
power into a psalm of praise.
That was a human touch to the
stately, frolorful ritual, which
seemed to take hold of every heart
in the majestic cathedral where so
much of Britain’s genius of ages
gone in entombed.
The forms of the ceremony,
down to the last syllable of the re
sponses and the last note of the

Dillon S. Myer is resigning as
commissioner of the U. S. housing
authority to take another govern
ment post. The President said
Myer has not decided yet which
job he wants.
Aside from these appointments,
the President in response to ques*
tioning said he wants the commod
ity exchanges controlled just as
the New York stock exchange is
controlled.
The President said reaction to
his message to Congress on Euro-1
pean relief and cost-of-living
curbs has been very satisfactory, i
The Marshall plan, providing!
long-range, self-help recovery for:
Europe will be submitted to Con
gress in about ten days, he added.
Informed that Senator Taft <R.- *
Ohio> has said his recommenda
tion for limited authority to im
pose price-wage controls and con
sumer rationing is totalitarian, Mr. I
Tinman replied he has no com- j
ment and added his speech speaks
for itself.
A reporter told the President
also that Taft has suggested the
President already has export con
trol power but has not used it. Mr.
Truman said that is correct, but
added the President never makes
use of such powers to their full,
extent unless needed. They are
used only where they do the most
good.
Asked about criticisms that the
United States is still shipping
heavy machinery to Russia, Mr.
Truman said the Soviets have a
purchasing commission here and
that it is buying machinery need
ed for repairing dams and for
farm work. He said he sees no rea
son to stop such exports now.
He would not comment on the
action of Canada in imposing cer
tain restrictions on American im
ports.

Mary, saw' the ritual. Ambassador
Lewis Douglas represented Presi
dent Truman.
The ceremony over, the couple
moved to the chapel of St. Edward
the Confessor. In the chapel, the
princess’ lips trembled as she told
friends she was overwhelmed at
the ceremony. But she moved se
dately with the bridegroom to
their glass coach, as London’s
church bells rang out, and they
progressed the mile back to Buck
ingham behind the Windsor grey
horses. London’s vpice went up in
jubilation at the occasion, the
greatest ceremonial this war-bat
tered capital has seen since Eliza
beth’s father came to the throne
in 1936.
At the pqlace reception the cou
ple cut the six-foot, 600-pound
wedding cake with the sword the
duke, attired in his royal navy
uniform, he had worn at the wed
ding. Europe’s royalty toasted
them in champaigne.
The couple made two appear
ances on a balcony to receive the
plaudits of thousands jamming the
Mall, St. Jame’s and Green Park.
