Great-Grandmother Weds 29-Year-Old Bloomington Hotel Site Os Ceremony BLOOMINGTON (UP)-An 85-year-old great-grandmother said Monday night she would "always remember my marriage vows" after she became the bride of a 29-year-old newsboy. Mrs. Laura Belle Wilson, who has five grandchildren and eight great - grandchildren, and Jim Bough were married Monday in a "quiet and relaxed’’ ceremony in the ’ Governor's Suite” of the Van Orman Hotel, the largest hotel here. Their wedding plans were a hassle from the time the new Mrs. Bough was turned down for a wedding license because she couldn’t "prove” she was old enough to get one until a televised ceremony was called off. Mayor Thomas Lemon who t married the Boughs because they , were "life-long Democrats” re- , fused to perform-the ceremony if ( it was on. television. The wedding ( -- ~ was set ahead a few hours be- , cause Lemon said he didn't want it to be a. “mockery” of marriage ] Bough who cuts lawns to pick . up extra money was disap- 1 pointed. "A lot of my friends were going < to be Watching,” said Bough. “I 1 know they’re not going to like it” - A minister criticized plans to < televise the ceremony from his ' pulpit here Sunday. ■ ■ ■-j Family And Newsmen Two other ministers took part in the ceremony before 15 members of the family and about the ; same number of newsmen under a rule of “no pictures allowed.” The Rev. Cyrus Mears, a Bap- : tist minister and Owen County auditor. opened the ceremony with a prayer, and the Rev. Jack B. ] Fellows closed it with another. Fellows is director of the Bloomington Christian Center, a project : jointly supported by 16 churches, and a close friend of the couple. The bride wore a light blue organdy suit with a white hat and veil and the groom wore a brown Summer suit. The clothes were contributed by a local department store. ■ Mrs. Bough's son, Charles Horton, 54, gave the bride away. The Van Orman took care of the bill for the wedding and reception which was televised. Manager Robert Thames estimated “about! 100 persons” attended the recep-! tion with another 150 persons standing outside "I haven’t seen this much traffic downtown since the Armed Forces Day Par a d e,” said Thames. Mrs. Bough did most of the talking on television. Straight To Heart "I'll always remember my marriage vows—they went straight to my heart,” said Mrs. Bough. Beaming at her new husband she said, “Isn't he a good-looking young man?” The Boughs expected to stay here for a couple of days before . lea.ving...on_their honeymoon They said they probably will skip a chance to spend a two-week honeymoon at a Miami Beach Hotel and visit relatives in Johnson Johnson City, 111., instead. Then Bough will go back to work to support his new bride who loses her S6O a month in old age assistance, “I can support both of us with my newspaper route and lawn mowing,” Bough said earlier. Mrs. Bough had no plans for marrying again. • "This is my last wedding.” she said "I'll have to rest before my honeymoon;.. I’ve lost so much sleep. I’m going to have to take a rest. I just didn’t think I could make it here.” But the bride needed no glasses while her groom wore heavy glasses. Mrs. Bough did have to ask the mayor to speak louder during the ceremony.

Arrives In Russia Arab Republic Head Making State Visit MOSCOW (UP) — President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Ara,b Republic arrived here today for an 18-day state visit and received one of the greatest welcomes ever accorded a visiting dignitary Huge bannerlines in the Moscow press hailed Soviet-U.A.R. friendship and editorials said the visit was an omen of “fruitful cooperation” between Russia and the newly founded Arab state. Soviet leaders gave Nasser a mammoth welcome when the sleek Russian TU-104 jetliner escorted by five Soviet fighters rolled to a stop before a waiting delegation that included president Kliment Y. Voroshilov and Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Several score Arab students roared greetings in Arabic and school children in uniform ran to the steps of the plane to present flowers to the visitor. The airport itself was decorated with Soviet and U.A.R. flags and huge portraits of Nasser and Voroshilov. Voroshilov —and Khrushchev were the first to greet Nasser. They walked with him as he turned to review an honor guard of 200 soldiers drawn from one of Moscow’s crack garrisons A military band then played the Soviet and U.A.R. national anthems. Voroshilov told Nasser in a welcoming speech "You are here among friends and you can see for yourself how we value the brave and freedom-loving Arab people of the United Arab Republic.

Says Steel Industry Frozen On Producers Testimony Is Given By Marketing Expert NEW YORK (IB — A Bethlehem Steel Corp, marketing expert testified in Federal Court here Monday that the steel industry is frozen with the present number of producers. Charles H. H. Weikel, a defense witness in the government's antitrust suit to bar the merger of Bethlehm and Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., said "it appears that no one now in the industry or a newcomer could afford to build a fully integrated steel plant today.” Presiding Judge Edward Weinfeld, then asked Weikel “Do you mean to say the steel industry is frozen with the present number of producers?" . "Yes sir,” Weikel replied. "I thing that is about true. 1 can’t see anyone starting with a fully Integrated plant. They would have to start on a very limited basis and slowly build up.” Weikel’s testimony came as he was being cross by Chief Government Prosecutor Allen A. Dobey in the third week of trial. On another tack, Dobey asked Weikel what Bethlehem would do with its newly acquired Porter County, Indiana property if the merger is disapproved. Bethlehem has said that it will expand Youngstown, facilities in Porter County and elsewhere in the Middle West to the tune of 358 million dollars if the mergjer is approved. Weikel replied: “We’d sell it as a good amusement park if someone makes us an offer. We have no plans to use this site for anything if the merger is not consummated.’-- —•* r Dobey also questioned Weikel on the concept of a national market for many steel products. The government contends that a national market for steel products exists if a company sells to all states or states which comprise all major , geographic areas of the nation. Bethlehem takes the position that a national market is "a place where producers move equally” and where freight absorption is not a factor.” In addition, the defense witness, whose cross examination by Dobey dominated the day’s proceedings, denied, with other defense witness that fiethlehem has indulged in tie-in contracts or reciprocal sales arrangements.
