When Miss Jane Uhrick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Uhrick of Decatur, says she wishes that Khrushchev would not come to this country to visit, she has a good reason. ‘She and her fiance, Ronald Gerber, of Berne, plan to be married October 3. Gerber’s brother, Daniel Gerber, is to serve as best man. But the catch is that Daniel Gerber is employed in Washington and will be one of the 15,000 men forming the security shield around Khrushchev during his visit here. In addition to the Russian leader, ’ 108 other Soviets will also be protected during the visit, which will last until September 27. If any of the visitors stay over, Gerber may be prevented from attending the wedding October 3 as best man. ANTI ova 100 WAIS BOWER JEWELRY STORE 1 Decatur Indiana mBBBBBDDBHi
