Tips on Etiquette Use Good Sense Buying That Bon Voyage Gift By ANN DEVEREAUX Flowers are wonderful but did you ever sit in your stateroom on an ocean going ship completely surrounded by flowers? They are fine for corsages, delightful in the dining salon but after that what? Unfortunately they just die. So when you are giving a bon voyage gift think a little further than the florist shop. Or if you just can't think of anything else but flowers, do check with the traveler and see how many of her friends will send flowers or exactly how she feels about the matter. Too many flowers can be heartbreaking.

Many a traveler has wished that "they had sent me a little something I could keep," that didn't require so much space, so much fuss and so much attention. So with this in mind, we have a few suggestions to offer for even books can be a nuisance and nearly every ocean going ship has its own library. No Gadgets First of all the gift for any trip should be useful, small and practical and certainly one wants to give something to "remember us by." Identification tags are most useful either as bracelets or anklets or as luggage markers. A little silver teaspoon will many times come in handy and certainly can be kept, as can a little silver pin dish or ash tray for atop the dresser, It will help you keep neat in your stateroom and at the same time can be taken home for keeps Sets of bottle openers come in handy and so do the tiny sewing kits to carry in a handbag. Traveling clocks of course and jeweled safety pins have an enormous amount of uses on trip.

Twice, Bloch asked the White House for Presidential clemency. His first appeal was made to President Truman, who went out of office before the Justice Department could relay it to President Eisenhower who succeeded Mr. Truman, turned down the spy team. He denied their second appeal yesterday. The first time, he told them that their crime, "far exceeds that of the taking of the life of another citizen." Mr.

Eisenhower said it involved "the deliberate betrayal of the entire nation and could very well result in the death of many, many thousands of innocent citizens." By their act, the President said, "these two individuals have in fact betrayed the cause of freedom for which free men are fighting and dying at this very hour."

Eye Witness Tells Of Spies' Last Mile Son, 10, Knew I thing that sudden movement to kiss the matron startled the guards and witnesses more than anything in the entire electrocution. It came so suddenly in the absolute silence of the chamber, that it took everyone among the 17 persons present a few seconds to comprehend what the condemned woman was going to do. After she kissed Mrs.

I watched their hands, stretched out on the walnut arms of the electric chair. They did not waver.

She seemed like a short, plump little housewife who should be at home before an electric stove, cooking dinner for a family. Just as she reached the chair, matron Mrs. Helen Evans, one of two women who accompanied her, gave her a comforting pat. Mrs. Rosenberg turned and extended her hand to the matron who had been her guard for the more than two years that she had spent in the Death House.

Then, suddenly, Mrs. Rosenberg turned and kissed the matron on the left cheek. She mumbled something which brown trousers with a tan stripe, and loafers. For a brief moment a puzzled look appeared on his face when he took one quick glance at four benches at rear of the chamber where the official witnesses sat. Otherwise he gave no of emotion, While the guards him in the chair, adstrapped, the straps and electrodes, he gazed clamly ahead.

Once, the trace of a sardonic smile creased his lips. The room was silent. The scratching pencils, of three reporters could be heard the length of it. The guards, their work completed, stepped back, one on each side and to the rear of the chair. Warden Denno signalled Francel that all was ready and the slim little executioner threw the switch.

the second charge--for 57 seconds. Again the man tensed, and again relaxed as the buzzing halted. Then came the third charge. A guard stepped forward. In a quick motion he ripped the T-shirt in two at the top.

The tearing cloth sounded like thunder in the silent room. He wiped off the man's chest with a towel. The doctors stepped forward and applied their sethoscopes. "I pronounce this man dead," Kipp advised the warden. Quicly two guards bundled the lifeless body onto a hospital cart and wheeled it into the autopsy room about 16 feet to the right and in front of the chair.

Warden Denno stepped from his position along the wall to the right of the chair and advised the three newspaper men of the time of death. Almost immediately after he resumed his position-at 8:08 p.m.-the door to the left of the chair opened and down the "last mile" came Ethel Rosenberg calm, unsmiling, her thin lips drawn to a narrow slit. Rabbi Koslowe preceded her, reading aloud passages from the 15th and 31st Psalms. On her left was Mrs. Evans.

Mrs. Many, who said she "filled in" from her regular job as telephone operator, was on her right. Two male guards followed. Mrs. Rosenberg had reached the chair- -had one hand on it -when suddenly she turned and grasped Mrs.

Her fists clenched. Her feet twisted inward. The muscles of her neck swelled until it almost seemed thew would burst. The juice went off and the burned body relaxed. Then came the second shock the third the fourth.

A prison guard stepped forward, released one strap and pulled down the round-necked dress. Doctors Kipp and McCracken applied their stethoscopes, then conferred in low tones. Executioned Francel joined them. "Want another?" he asked. The doctors nodded and stepped back to their positions beside Denno, alongside the wall.

Francel again applied the switch and again the body strained forward against the straps. The shock, like all but the first, was for 57 seconds. When the doctors examined the body for the second time, they quickly pronounced her dead. That began the final chapter of the story. They will to it when Rosenberg, the bodies a are buried, probably Sunday.

Spent Last Day Together The couple spent most of yestogether before the executions. Rabbi Koslowe spent several hours with them. But otherwise they saw no other visitors. David Rosenberg came here to see his brother, but Denno refused to permit a meeting because the brother arrived only 80 minutes before the scheduled execution time. The execution procedure provides that a condemned person may have no visitors in the two hours preceding his execution.

The Rosenbergs steadfastly claimed their innocence, although several other members of the spy ring had confessed and been sentenced. The Rosenbergs and others were doomed when Igor Gouzenko, a Russian cipher clerk in the Soviet embassy in Ottawa, broke with the Communists and fled one night in 1945 with his shirt crammed with spy documents. Gouzenko now is living under an assumed name--and police protection "somewhere in Canada." The information he gave put police on an international espionage trail, Among those arrested and convicted were: Klaus Fuchs, German-born British physicist; Dr. Alan Nunn May, a Britisher, and Americans Harry Gold, Alfred Dean Slack, David Greenglass, who is Mrs. Rosenberg's brother, and Morton Sobell, who was convicted with the Rosenbergs.

The Rosenbergs were arrested in their New York apartment in June 1950. A former Soviet vice consul in New York, Anatoli A. Yakovlev, was indicted with them, but when the time came for the arrests he had left the country. Authorities presumed he returned to ing at 8:01 p.m. Reads the 23d Psalm At 8:02 p.m., a blue-shirted guard opened a door on the right side and at the far end of the prison chamber.

Rabbi Koslowe, dressed in the formal robes of a spiritual leader of his faith, walked through the door. He was reading the 23d psalm. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth, me in the paths of righteousness for His name's 'sake.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death the as he walked slowly with the prisoner, down Rosenberg's Gazes Calmly Ahead Behind the rabbi came Rosenberg defiant, staring straight ahead. He was cleanshaven, he no longer had the moustache which he wore when he went the death house. He wore to, shirt, stepped to their positions. Dressed In Print Dress The condemned woman was dressed in an ill-fitting green figured print dress supplied by the State. She wore no lings and on her feet were loafers similar to those worn by her husband.

She did not know as she sat there that her husband already was dead. Similarly, Julius, when he was strapped into the chair, did not know whether his wife had preceded him in death. When the first electric shock was applied a thick white stream of smoke curled upward from the football type helmet on her head. It floated lazily upward to the skylight ventilator directly above the chair. The woman tensed.
