BERLIN, April 10.

General Goering's wedding was the most spectacular social function since the war. | 'vast crowds, blocking the traffic, witnessed General Goering's drive in a flower-decked car to the bride's home, and then the procession with bodyguards to the Town Hall for the civil' ceremony in which Herr Hitler was best man. Two hundred war aeroplanes swooped over the procession to the Cathedral where Dr. Mueller officiated. General Goering's "Ja" spoken with a military vigour was heard throughout the Cathedral. The altar was illuminated with a dozen arc lamps.

The blonde bride, clad in white, with a train, carried a red bouquet.! General Goering was in his bemedalled gold-braided Air Force uniform.

Dr. Mueller, in his sermon, declared that the nation's great love for General Goering had increased the glamour of the occasion. Thus the marriage was the symbol of the new 'national

unity.

A hundred thousand packed the Cathedral Square, and greeted with "Heils" the wedding party as the car passed between ranks of members of the Air Force and Storm Troops to the Kaiserhof Hotel, where three hundred guests attended a banquet. Herr Hitler sat beside the bride, whose good-vall messages included one from her first husband.
