He said officials did not know how
the fugitives got the tools for the
breaks. Others prisoners in the dor

Radio Song Ends at Altar
Marjorie Naylor, Vocalist, to Be Bride of
Hugh Conover, Announcer.
« ■ ' ..n—. ■... ..1 1 ' ■■■' I
MARJORIE LOUISE NAYLOR.
WHEN Marjorie Naylor sang-l
"You Started Me Dream
ing," Hugh Conover was
doing just that.
And when she came back with
"I've .Got You Under My Skin," that's
exactly the way he felt.
Not that Marjorie, vocalist with
Little Sam Robbins’ Orchestra, was
singing to Hugh that night in the
Raleigh's Pall Mall room six weeks
ago. ‘
She was singing to those w ho might
oe sitting by the radio at home and
those who were dancing right there.
But Hugh, on the scene announcing
for Station WJSV, took it all to
heart, thought everybody else who
heard the singing was eavesdropping.
So tomorrow Marjorie and Hugh
are going to be married. In New York.
At the Little Church Around the
Corner. Where Marjorie's mother was
married on the same day about 35
years ago. It will be at 5 pm. the
lame hour her mother was married.
Her mother is Mrs. Heard Naylor.
It seems that when Marjorie finished
singing that night and Hugh was
through announcing, he told her she
had a nice voice. And maybe nice
eyes.
The next night they had a date.
And the next night he asked her j
to marry him. She must have j
answered in the affirmative. Anyhow J
the orchestra leader is somewhat j
perturbed. Marjorie is going to quit.
She is going to become Mrs. Distel
btirst. Hugh’s last name off the air.
And next Wednesday they're coming
oark to Washington to look for an
apartment.. Until they find one, 1
they will stay with Hugh's parents.
