• C. Douglas Dillon, Eisenhower's nominee as Ambassador to
Fiance, is of Jewish descent. His grandfather was a, Polish Jew
who for many years visited his parents' grave at Lodz . . . We
wholly agree with the. ban imposed by the Archbishop of Boston
against the singing of "Here Comes the Bride" at wedding cere-
monies—but for another reason. Its author -, Richard Wagner .
was a Jew hater of classic German style and by the same token
one of Hitler's favorite composers. It is disgraceful to hear that
song at Jewish weddings, 'symbol of Jewish continuity and sur-
vival. The way to stop it is for rabbis to refuse to officiate. I
would like to see a courageous rabbi make a move in that direc-
tion . .. The story of the two. Jewish orphans who were abducted
from a Catholic orphanage in France when they were ordered
returned to their relatives in Israel will lead to the doors of an
international Jewish gang of meshumodim specializing in bap-
tizing war-orphaned Jewish children at a good price. One of
the men . involved is a notorious Jewish convert in the - United
w ho is spearheading the missionary movement in Israel.
