One of the four ex-Marines, William A. Szili, was quoted as saying that he was discharged because he helped dispose of the body of the Cuban, who allegedly was shot by another Marine in self-defense. Columnist Jack Anderson identified the Marine who di d the shooting as former Capt Arthur J. Jackson, a World War II Medal of Honor winner. Anderson, an assistant to Drew Pearson, wrote that Jackson, Szili and two others “were railroaded out of the Marine Corps without a formal hearing and were warned to keep their mouths zippered.” The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin quoted Szili as saying that a Marine legal officer made him sign a statement acknowledging that he could be fined SIO,OOO and imprisoned 10 years if he disclosed the incident. He said he was given an honorable discharge on March 16, 1962, and his lieutenant's commission revoked. On Oct. 17, 1961, the Navy announced that a Cuban employe at Guantanamo had been found in a shallow grave and an investigation was being conducted. A month later, a spokesman said the investigation still was going on and declined further comment. The Cuban government sent a protest to the United States charging that the man, Ruben Lopez, had been murdered. Anderson said that Lopez was known to naval intelligence as a Castro agent but was kept on as a bus driver at the base, presumably for surveillance purposes. The columnist said Jackson found the Cuban in a restricted area, and when Lopez sought to grab the Marine's gun he was shot to death. • Seeds and Bulbs • Rose Bushes • Lawn Food Grass Seed • Flower and Vegetable Plants MYERS FLORIST 903 N. 13th St.

Three Killed By Explosion In Laboratory ROCKET CENTER, W. Va. (UPI)—An explosion of undetermined origin demolished a processing building at the Allegany Ballistics Labratory today, killing three men, injuring 10 others and causing heavy damage. The center is operated by the Hercules Powder Co. for the U. SNavy. It produces solid fuel propellants for mis s i les, and played a prominent role in development of the Polaris missile. A spokesman at the plant said the blast occurred about 3:30 a.m., EST. He said property damage “in the immediate vicinity of the explosion is severe and minor damage to outlying areas (of the facility) is extensive.” There was no fire, he said. The three dead men were working inside the processing building when the explosion occurred. The injured were outside at the time and suffered varying degrees of injuries. Six were hospitalized. The four others were treated at a hospital and released. Names of all involved were not released. About 200 persons were working at the time of the explosion, the second here in three years. In 1960, nine men were killed when a blast occurred, also in the processing building. The spokesman said he could not divulge, for security reasons, the processing building’s exact operations. He said the cause of the explosion and the amount of damage were not determined.

VrU Mrs. Alfons Kahlert — Photo by Cole Repeat Uoa/5 *YHornina Ceremon.it

A gown of imported chantilly lace and pure silk organza was chosen by Miss Nancy Gase for her 10 a.m. wedding, today, when she was married to Alfons Kahlert. The marriage took place in the St. Mary’s Catholic church, which was decorated with baskets of white gladioli at the main altar, and a basket of white pompons at the Blessel Virgin Mary’s altar. The double-ring vows were heard by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Simeon Schmitt. The men’s sang the nuptial mass, with Mrs. John Girard as organist. Parents of the, bride are Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Gase, route 6; and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernhard Kahlert, Altena, West Germany. The bride was given in marriage by her father. The organza bodice of her gown was appliqued at the waistline with lace motifs and fashioned with a deep band of scalloped lace, forming the sabrina neckline. Long, lace sleeves tapered to points over her hands. The organza skirt, which swept into a chapel-length train, was enhanced with lace appliques. ”’The bride’s bouffant, waist-length veil of imported French illusion was caught to a matching lace crown, sprinkled with iridescent sequins and edged with seed pearls. Her bouquet, a white orchid, surrounded by white sweetheart roses, was atop a white prayer book. Miss Joanne Loshe was maid of honor, wearing a gown of light blue satapeau. The fitted bodice

Easier Egg Trees Down, Eggs Stored Anyone who may wish to view the astounding Easter egg trees, which have been on display at the library, wi’l have to wait until the next Easter season. The trees have had their "blooming” season, and have been taken down. Miss Bertha Heller, librarian, has described the way in which the trees are kept from year to year. The egges are stored away in 50-pound tin lard cans; this is a safe way of storing them to prevent breakage and to keep any little, visiting mouse from destroying them. Some librarians have lost many hundreds of eggs because of mice. A mouse has never been seen in the Decatur library, but Miss Heller does not want to extend an invitation to them for a meal on the lovely egg shells. There were between 1600 and 1700 eggs on the two trees. The trees themselves cannot be saved as they dry out just like a ChristHockemeyer. Mrs. James McDonald and Mrs. Robert Keuneke will register gifts; Miss Judy Miller, Fort Wayne, will be guest registrar. For her wedding trip the bride will wear an apricot, wool suit with black accessories and the orchid from her bridal bouquet. A graduate of Decatur Catholic high school and Fort Wayne Commercial College, the bride is a secretary at the Fort Wayne National bank. The bridegroom attended school in Germany, and is employed by the International Harvester Company, Fort Wayne. The couple will be at home at 521 West Berry St., Fort Wayne.

mas tree and begin to droop, so they are renewed each year. The library is indebted to Virgil Krick for his supervision in securing the trees, year after year. The various, original designs on the hand-painted eggs interested the adults, while the children loved the ones that illustrated a favorite story. Perhaps the egg shell which creates the most interest, and is asked for every year, is the huge ostrich egg shell brought from California in the late 1880’s by Mrs. D. E. Studebaker, and given to the library by her granddaughter, Mrs. H. H. Stoner. There was a display of old Easter cards as well, and it was loaned by Mrs. S. E. Leonardson, who also loaned some of the handpainted eggs and beauifully decorated glass eggs. The staff of the Decatur public library expresses its appreciation and thanks for the cooperation of this community. There were many out-of-town guests; from Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, New York, lowa, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; and, of course, from many cities and towns in Indiana. Late visitors who viewed the trees were, Mrs. Harriet and Mrs. Walter Muntzinger, Convoy, O.; Mrs. A. J. Pulser, Fort Wayne; Miss Grace Beecher, Indiana state library, Indianapolis; Barbara and Becky Hawbaker, Geneva; Mr. and Mrs. James Fry, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn E. Mills, Sgt. and Mrs. Jim ' Lemley, Mr. and Mrs. B. Craft. Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Burkhardt, all of Peru; Mr. and Mrs. John D. ’ Ridenour. Everyone is reminded that this . is National Library Week, the slo- . gan is, “The fifth freedom—enjoy ; it.” The library staff invites . everyone to come to the, library ■ and enjoy the books and maga- ; zines, not only this week, but every week.
