|Craigie, Retiring,
Presents Old Saber
To Winner Of Drill
Companies H and K
From Western High
Place First and Second

The high school cadet corps lost
tradition yesterday, but estab-
lished new custom while Western
High Schools H and K Companies
were winning first and second place.
and Anacostia's A Company, third
place, in the annual company COM
petitive drill.
The tradition lost was Col. Wal
lace M. Craigie, who is retiring this
month after "a years as professor
OF military science and tactics.
The new custom involves the Colo
nel's 30-year-old cavalry saber and
a saber knot which belonged to
his father. Brig. Gen. David john
ston Craigie.
With tears in his eyes. Col.
Craigie presented the saber and
knot for the first time yesterday
to the winning captain, Theodore
Stoddard of Westerns Company H,
son of Lothrop Stoddard, foreign
affairs writer for The Star. The
new trophy will be presented
each year to the winning captain
along with the long g-established
award, the Allison Nailor Medal.
The medal was pinned on Capt.
Stoddardis tunic by Robert L. Hay
cock, superintendent of schools,
who was first sergeant of the same
company at Western in 1898. Men
of Company H got red ribbons. Men
OF Company K, commanded by
Capt. John Cook. got purple rib
bons. Men of Company A, COM
manded by Capt. Theodore Taylor,
got white ribbons.
For the first time, signs were dis
played in the bleachers to tell the
thousands in the grandstands at
Griffith Stadium which company
had won. Heretofore, the identity
OF the company was often not known
until it had marched up to the re-
viewing stand.
This was the 26th consecutive
year that Western has either won
or placed in the drill.

Civilian Trucks
to Be Cut Again
BY SILER FREEMAN

Military requirements are ex-
pected TO cut in heavily on COM
mercial truck schedules for
1945. The tire situation. is so
serious that commercial truck
production is 10 be reduced
materially next year. despite
the forecasts made earlier.
Informed observers do not
expect TO see much effect OF the
tire shortages in the first quar-
ter of l945, but. after that. IL is
anybody,s guess on how heavy
the cuts will be. Truck alloca-
tions are TO be completed by
Dec. 28 and, after that, an idea
of how deep the reductions go
will be gotten.
IL is believed. however. that
light-heavy trucks will get the
biggest scaledown. about 25 per
cent. Heavy-heavi will suffer
about Il per cent and the other
classes will be cut correspond
ingly.
