Army officers here intervened to neutralize the jinx that twice had precented the marriage of Cpl. Leonard Belew and Miss Rivera Mikles of Cummings, Oklahoma, hometown sweethearts. The jinx, which had gotten in its deadly work first in Alabama where Miss Mikles had gone for the wedding, and then at Pittsburgh, followed the couple here when an alert sounded at the moment of the wedding. Superior officers exempted Belew from responding to the alert until the ceremony was finished.
