COLONEL WEDS AS LOVE LEAPS MARS’ HURDLES Trail fo Bridal Aisle Leads Through German Prison Camp PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis; June 12—A man who came back, and the girl who prayed for him, joined hands at the altar of Our Lady of the Angels yesterday; after reaching the end of a bridal aisle which twice was blocked by war and led from the gaiety of pre-war Honolulu to a German prison camp and finally to a chapel in a Mississippi River town. Lt. Col. Francis S. Gabreski had said of the ceremony, “I hope this one makes the grade,” and 250 friends and relatives who watched him slip a diamond-set circlet on the finger of lovely Kay Cochran in the Chapel of Champion Jesuit Academy bore witness that it did. Gabreski, 29-year-old Oil City, Pa., ace who saw one set of wedding plans go up in smoke at Pear) Harbor, when Miss Cochran and her aunt, wife of Army Col. Newton G. Bush, were evacuated on 24-hour notice, spent a second tentative wedding day last August in a Ger- man prison camp after “one last sortie” to add to his bag of 28 tnemy planes before heading home. e — Empire want aas get quick resu'ts.
