Maxine Rosenberg Wed to Robert M. Carson In the Wake of Parliamentary Victory A Quicksilver Talk With Sydney Silverman BY CHARLOTTE HYAMS Once you've made your way through the intricate maze of cob- blestone-paved courtyards known as the Middle Temple, it's not so hard to find the office you're look- ing for. Just ask any barrister. Up the arthritic wooden stair- case at No. 4 Essex Court, and you're standing before a green door with a heavy iron knocker on it. And a sign that reads: S. SYDNEY SILVERMAN Solicitor Commissioner for Oaths Privy Council Agent MRS. ROBERT CARSON Maxine Dana Rosenberg of Bev- erly Hills, Calif., became the bride of Robert Michael Carson Sunday afternoon at the Sheraton Cadil- lac Hotel. Rabbi Milton Rosenbaum officiated. The couple's parents are Mr. and Mrs. George Rosenberg of Beverly Hills, Calif. and Mr. and Mrs. Her- bert Carson, 13309 Ludlow, Hunt- ington Woods. The bride wore a gown of peau de soie frosted with Chantilly lace on the Empire bodice and chapel train. She carried liles of the val- ley on her Bible. Matron of honor was Mrs. Sid- ney I. Feldman, sister of the bride. Mesdames Stuart Finney, sister of the bridegroom; Lawrence Ross; and Thomas Warshaw were brides- maids. Charles Carson was his broth- er's best man, and ushers were Stuart Finney and Sidney I. Feld- man. Following the reception, the cou- ple left on a honeymoon trip to Toronto.

In his politics, Silverman is con- sidered leftist, in his words, "social- ist." He resented that The Jewish News should have described him as a one-time pro-communist. ("I am neither pro nor anti") and in- sists he has never changed his opinions. "I'd appreciate it if you'd set the record straight," he added. The sign doesn't do its owner justice. Actually, Sydney Silver- man is a member of Parliament. Not just any member of Parlia- ment, either, but the man who has fought for 30 years, and finally succeeded, tb rid Great Britain of the death penalty for murder. A graduate with BA and LLB degrees from Liverpool Univer- sity, Silverman was elected to Parliament in 1935 to represent the textile-manufacturing towns of Nelson and Colne. His constituents have never failed to return him to office. "You ask if my liberal stand has met with opposition from my consti- tuents? Well, there's your an- swer," he said. Naturally, you're prepared to meet an imposing figure of a man, a veritable giant. You shake hands with a slight, short chap with a Van Dyke beard, a handsome moustache and a thatch of hair quite remarkable for a man of '70. The MP is a "Liverpudlian," a native of Liverpool (but he would be the first to deny that his blond- white hair bears any resemblance to the heavy crop grown by his countrymen, the Beatles.) His father, a merchant tailor, came from Romania in 1880, and his But in a quicksilver, half-hour interview it's easy to see -t h a t. his hair is, by contrast, the least remarkable thing about this abrupt, irascible gentleman. "I have only a few minutes," he began. "As you can see, I'm quite busy. Parliament rose yesterday, and I have a. lot of catching up to do." He waved his hand around the room and landed it on a pile of papers on his desk. "As you can see," he repeated, "I can give you only a few minutes." A half hour later he was chat- ting — with some warmth — about the United States policy in Viet- nam. In between, there were snatches of conversation about the Laborite's greatest battle. "I don't consider the abolishment of the death penalty my life work"—he wanted to make that clear—"but I have always been against the death penalty. Some years ago I co-authored a book 'Hanged—and Innocent!' and I've never given up hope that one day the bill would pass." Two months ago, Silverman's efforts came to fruition with approval by the House of Lords. His own chamber had passed the measure a week earlier. TWice since 1948, Lords defeated pro- posals to end hanging that had been passed by Commons. eivry 017 the Air This Week's Radio and Television Programs ETERNAL LIGHT Time: 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Silverman sees no link between his own Jewish background and his stand against capital punish- ment. He does recall, however, that a Gallup poll conducted in '48 by his party revealed only two religious groups staunchly in favor of abolition: the Society of Friends (Quakers) and the Jews. "I don't know why the Friends take that stand," he said, "but I can say this for the Jews: they were born civilized."
