Leonard Lyons Reports:

British Add Confusion
To Shipboard Marriage

Leonard Lyons' column a
few days ago .carried the f61-
lowing item: .
"Meyer Levin took his cast
and camera crew aboard a re-
fugee ship to Palestine, to
photograph scenes for his mov-
ie, 'The Illegals.' It was halt-
ed and searched by the British,
and Levin's camera, films and
typewriters disappeared. But
he was most concerned about
a document which vanished—
the marriage certificate issued
to Levin and Tereska Torres,
of the Leon Blum family. They
were married aboard the ship.
... 'We'd have to be remarried
in Paris anyway,' the groom
consoled his bride, 'because too
many people would have made
cracks about 'is it legal on an
illegal boat'?"

Heinz Vegetarian Baked Beans are on the "best-
seller lists" of grocery stores 'and delicatessens
in Jewish neighborhoods everywhere. "Pareve" as well as

Kosher — usable at both meat and _dairy meals — they are an

easy-to-fix, all-purpose, sure-fire dish. It's the baking, the
thorough oven-baking, that gives Heinz Vegetarian Beans
their mealy tenderness. And what a sauce is added by our chefs
— a spicy blend of Heinz own pedigreed "AriStocrat" tomatoes
and aromatic seasoning! Good eating! Heinz Baked Beans are
strictly vegetarian !
