The double ring ceremony was performed in the Rocky 'River, Ohio, Methodist church by the Rev. Robert Scully. A half hour selection of bridal airs by Graham Marsh preceded the apearance of the bridal party. Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Schnitz of Lakewood, Ohio, and. former .. Decatur residents, are parents of the bride. Bock is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bock of Rocky River. Preceding the bride down the white carpeted aisle to the flower and fern decked altar, were Miss Sue Starbird, maid of honor, and Mrs. Robert Gilmore, and Miss Judy Tutewiler of Decatur, as bridesmaids. The attendants wore matching gowns of gold metallic lace over taffeta. Softly scooped necklines detailed the fitted bodices and ended in a deep V in the back. Pleated • cumberbunds encircled their waists and formed large bows in the back. Braided head bands of gold held their short veils in place and a cascade of yellow and bronze mums tied with turquoise ribbons completed their ensembles.

Miss Schnitz was led down the aisle to the can-dle-lit altar by her father. She was lovely in a floor length gown of French imported chantilly lace and tulle made for her by her grandmother, Mrs. Carrie Heare. i The very tight bodice featured a bateau neckline with long fitted sleeves ending in points over her hands. A panel of tulle appliqued with medallions marked the front 'of the bouffant skirt while the back swept into a chapel length train of lace and tulle ruffles. Her fingertip veil of Imported illusion was caught to a lace crown of sequins and seed pearls and she carried a cascade of steponatis centered with a white .orchid.

Ohio. Martin Limousine A Political Issue Charges Gift Made To Embarrass Party WASHINGTON (UPI)-Joe Martin’s spanking-new SII,OOO limousine. an “auld lang syne” gift from the House membership, appeared today to have become a political issue. Rep. William H. Ayres (ROhio) is telling the voters back home that Democrats got the House to provide the chauffeurdriven Cadillac to the ousted GOP leader ‘‘just to embarrass Republicans.” Ayres said 22 constitutents have written him to protest the decision to keep Martin supplied at taxpayer expense with the limousine and extra clerical help that normally goes only with the floor leader’s position. Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (Mass.) said there was no foundation to Ayres’ charge. “I thought it was the decent and proper thing to do,” he told a reporter. Ayres wrote his constitutents that McCormack’s resolution to provide Martin with the car was approved at the very time that “a moyement was under way, among Republicans to present a car to Mr. Martin through private contributions.” Therefore, he wrote, “the resolution was clearly political and calculated to embarrass Republicans... Let us hope it is no indication of the manner in which your money will be appropriated during the next two years by the 86th Congress.” McCormack’s office said the Democratic leader has received about 50 letters commenting cm the House action two weeks ago and “90 per cent of them were favorable.” Two Win Ribbons At Soybean Show - Two residents from Adams county have received ribbons for their entries in the state soybean show which is being held in connection this week with the farm science days at Purdue, Leo Seltenright, Adams county agent, said today. Gilbert Bultemeier, of route one, received a blue ribbon for winning first place |n the Harosy division, and a red ribbon for second place in the Lincoln class. Ben Mazelln, of route one, Berne, placed third in the Lincoln division and received a white ribbon. Small cash awards will be presented to the winners and placing entries of each division. Over 2400 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

\ ■ Showdown On Right To Work Repeal Delayed Long Public Hearing Held Thursday Night On Repeal Measure t INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Demo- ; cratic senators, in the minority in ; the Indiana Senate but hopeful of help from a few rebel Republi- • cans, today postponed a showdown [ on the “right to work” repeal bill ’ because three of their members i were ill. A caucus decision this morning . delayed the threat of a movement to blast the bill out of the Senate ; Labor Committee, a few hours after a long public hearing which produced Democratic protests when the Republican chairman announced the hearing would be resumed next week. , Illness of the three senators left the repeal bloc with insufficient strength to force the controversial measure out of committee, a move which Democrats previously postponed until the public hearing was held. The hearing lasted from 8 p.m. until midnight, after which Sen. George W. McDermott (R-Alexan-j dria), the committee chairman, announced it would be continued on the repealer “and other labor 1 bills” the night of Jan. 29. Sen. Matthew E. Welsh, Vin- ’ cennes. Democratic floor leader. ; jumped to his feet in angry protest. , “To hold any more hearings on this bill would be a travesty," Welsh said. “Practically all of the , witnesses for the past hour have repeated what other earlier witnesses said. Any more testimony will not change a single vote.” Sen. S. Hugh Dillin (D-Peters-burg), co-author of the bill, charged dilatory tactics by the huge GOP majority of the committee. He pointed out that the measure was introduced two weeks ago and that stalling tactics have prevailed since then. Plans No Blast - Dillin said, however, that he would not attempt to blast the bill out of the committee Friday because three Democratic senators are ill and he probably could not muster enough votes. The four-hour hearing was dull. A score of witnesses droned through remarks, many of them repetitious. Much delay was caused by questions of a dozen senators, seeking to establish their viewpoints for or against the hot measure. The Senate chamber was crowded with witnesses and spectators. The chief witness of the Indiana Right to Work Committee was the Rev. Edgar W. Greenfield, former pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Princeton where an infant was shot and wounded critically during a strike violence at a factory two years ago. The minister opposed forcing persons to join unions and pointed out that many are Communistdominated, corrupt or use their dues funds tor political purposes. Another witness, William Shepler, director of the State Department of Commerce and Public Relations, said Indiana has annexed numerous factories and has profited from plant expansion since “right to work” was born. Just last year, 133 new factories came to this state from other parts of the country and there were 171 plant expansions, according to Shepler. Here Are Arguments Among the contentions of the repealer witnesses, many of them union officials, were: —lt is unfair for a worker to accept all of the benefits obtained by unions and then refuse to belong to them. —The majority of workers should rule. If they vote for the

Seeking U.S. Homes For World Refugees Project Sponsored By United Nations BY LOUIS CASSELS United Press International ' At the World Council of Churches headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, the Rev. Dr. Edgar H. S. Chandler is known irreverently as “the flea.” The nickname has nothing to do with Chandler’s stature, which is about average for a .*64-year-old man,_or his manner, which is both amiable and dignified.. It alludes to the fact that he is always hopping about the world. Chandler is a Congregationalist minister from Providence, R. I. Since he became director of the World Council’s far flung refugee services nine years ago, he has visited every continent at least once, and most of them several times. His annual mileage makes John Foster Dulles seem like a fireside-hugger. This week Chandler is in toe United States. His mission, as always, is finding homes for refugees. Specifically, he is asking U. S. churches to give all-out support to the international refugee year which begins July 1. Sponsored By U.N. This project, sponsored by the United Nations General Assembly, has as one of its goals the resettlement of 37,000 men, women and children who are still living in refugee camps in Europe. Many of them have been'“there since the end of World War 11, nearly 14 years ago. Chandler has seen their despairing faces, and the memory is never very far from his mind. “It is a shameful thing,” he said i softly, “that in this day and age , so many people should be allowed to remain homeless for so long a ■ time.” While clearing out the pathetic population of the camps is a topi priority task, Chandler said in 6n • interview, it is by no means the ■ only- refugee problem that should be “weighing on the Christian con-

science. ./j v* “There are at least 250,000 other refugees in Europe who are living outside of camps, but who have not yet found permanent homes or jobs,” he said. “They also are in desperate need of help.” Many Arab Refugees In the Middle East, there are upwards of 1,000,000 Arab refugees from Palestine who are living in tragic squalor in toe Gaza Strip, and in Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq. And in the Far East, British Hong Kong is crowded, literally to the rooftops, with 700,000 Chinese refugees who have “voted with their feet” against Communist rule. Because of international political complications, there is very little the churches can do for the Arab and Chinese refugees at present, except to help provide them with emergncy shlter, food and mdical care. But there is no barrier to resettlement of the European refugees —no barrier, that is, except the formidable task of lining up enough visas, homes, jobs and funds. Chandler is counting on America's churches to lend a big hand with that task during the coming “refugee year.” A committee to' organize U. S. chyrch participation has already been formed under the chairmanship of the Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre, dean of Washington Cathedral. Nfeed Special Legislation The first problem — immigration visas to admit refugees to America — will require special legislation by Congress. Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) "of the House Judiciary Committee has displayed sympathy and church: men are optimistic that the necessary legislation will be enacted. Chandler said local churches and their members can help in two ways: 1. By “sponsoring” refugee families. Sponsors line up homes and jobs, and generally oversee* the “settling in" on refugee families in their new American communitis. 2. By contributing funds. Private refugee relief agencies will need to double their budgets dur1 ing the coming year to met th i goals of th “refugee year.” Both sponsorship pledges and contributions may be made
