hearing
Both Hiss and Pigman, along
with Henry J. Wadleigh, another
former state department man,
have been accused in testimony
before the House committee of
carrying U. S. secrets to commun
ist agents. For a while, it appear
ed as it an outright tug-of-war
lor witnesses between the House
committee and the grand jury was
developing over the week-end, but
the Congressional probers yielded
the stage.
They originally had subpoenaed
Hiss, and his brother, Donald, also
once employed in the state depart
ment, for appearances in Wash
ington Saturday. Pigman also was
under a committee summons.
But after learning that the
grand jury wanted the Hiss broth- 1
ers to remain here for more ques
iioning. Rep. Karl Mundt (R.-S.D.),
acting committee chiarman, called
off the committee meeting. 1
One Bride-to-Be
Too lVIanv for Feng
J &
SHANGHAI, </P)—Love has yet
• to find a way out of this.
Feng Miao-Keng, 20, hired an
ornate Chinese bridal chair and
sent it forth to fetch his bride-to
be, a Miss Wu. tiut when Miss Wu
came excitedly out of her house
to get into the chair, she found
I another woman already there.
The occupant of the chair, also
wearing gay wedding dress, loud
ly proclaimed that she was an old
flame of Feng’s. She added deter
minedly that she, not Miss Wu,
would ride to the altar with Feng.
A fight broke out between the
brides-to-be and their respective
macthmakers.
Meanwhile. Feng impatiently
craned his neck for a sight of the
bridal chair which was to pick
him up at home. Instead, a police
car drove up. Today, in jail, Feng '
said he would be happy to wed
both girls, if that would settle
anything.
Amid all the evident clamor,
police did not say what charges—
if any—were filed against Feng).

in Anchorage. He hid for a while
in the lavatory and was discov
ered near Edmonton, Alberta.
When the plane arrived at Minne
apolis, the first U. S. stop, police
and immigration officials greeted
him. “I felt sunk.” Luther said.
But they questioned him briefly
and sent him on his way. Intrigued
by his fate, Northwest Airline em
ployees put up the $36 he needed
to finish the trip to Detroit.
When reporters met him at Wil
low Run airport, Luther told them
his troubles.
“I can’t live without her,” he
complained, “without her life just
doesn’t mean anything.”
Then, with reporters tagging
along, Luther set out in search of
his wife. They tried a movie house
where Lida Ruth was supposed to
be. She wasn’t there.
Finally they fbund the girl at
her mother’s home. They fell into
each other’s arms.
“It’s all right now,’’ Luther said.
Lida just nodded and smiled.
