Marine General Cites
Statistics 10 Prove
Corps Worlds S Best
By Mortin S. Hoyden

North American Newspaper Allianee
Ask the Nations top Marine If
the Marines are good and you get
"a statistic.
Lifted from the troop report of
the Marine Korean commander, 1t
reads: Missing in action, 26;
nonbattle casualties, 16."
ASK any soldier" said Gen.
Clifton B. Cath, Marine Corps
commandant. land he will tell you
that is recorded evidence Of a top
fighting organization"
The General was telling a re-
porter what Inchon, Seoul and
North Korea have added to Mon
tezuma. Tripoli. Belleau Woods
and Guadalcanal in the combined
chapters of Marine Corps history.
The interview, he noted, was an
interim report" on a war not yet
over.
Korea Demonstrates Facts"
But already, said the Marine
commandant, Korea has produced
military facts:
The tank is here to stay, and
American tanks are good; an
essential of modern war is "close"
air support; new word -
@'Anglico"-has given meaning to
Army Mayfair Force unification;
the helicopter. the 3.5 bazooka
!, and the devastating napalm bomb
have proven their right to arsenal
room and, finally, the Marine
Corps-"which has no ambition
toward Army or Navy bigness" -
is still a tough combat force with
q particular place in war planning.
That last gets the General back
to his Statistic" of only a Ma
rines so far missing in Korean
action, or lost from noncombat
injury.
That" he said, sis our last
report on nearly 10000 Marines
since the first of them went into
combat last August. We have had
$500 combat casualties-700 of
them killed. The unbelievable to-
tails of only 26 missing and Is
nonbattle casualties include all
our unrecovered dead. cutoff men
who may still rejoin their units,
those Marines, if any, taken pris-
oner and the total of men we
have lost in accidents. It is a
great demonstration of discipline,
of Marine ability to care for them
selves in the field and of the fact
that it takes positive enemy action
to stop a Marine"
Marines Best Fighters
The conmandant, like all Ma
rines past and present, lists his
corps first among America sand
the Notwithstanding men.
But" he said, I'VE have the big
advantage of being little. We get
the same farm and city boys that
join other services. But our boot
camps give individual training that
is tough, and when a recruit fin
ishes. he feels he is just a little
better than any other fighting
man. That is esprit or morale
that only small unit can develop
and, because we want to keep
1t, we have no desire to be as
big as the Army or Navy. Our
, place is as small, mobile force
to function as a spearhead seiz-
ing advanced bases.'
Gen. Gates said Korea may
prove "a blessing in disguise"
ut will never be that" he said,
"to men crippled or to those
who have lost sons or husbands.
To the rest of us it may be a

at Del Ray evenue, Bethesda.
At 1928 am, a power company
crew turned on auxiliary plants
at the Naval Medical Center and
National Institute of Health.
At $3.50 am, power was re-
stored to Suburban Hospital where
the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad had set up motor gener-
ator to supply essential power.

At 1918 am, workmen began
restoring power to the populous
sections of Bethesda and North
ern Chevy Chase. They reported
ly had completed the job and
brought normal power into that
area py Z.1U Pm.
At 1:15 pm, one-third of the
Rockville area was beginning to
get light and heat again. BY
2:45 pm, all the Rockville area
repeatedly was being served.
At sos pm, power was restored
to the Norbeck- -Gaithersburg area
At $40 pm. the lights began
going out again SO the power COM
pany could make repairs and shift
the equipment to get more power
with greater regularity.
At 6:15 pm, the power was
turned on again and was re-
portedly normal by 6:35 pm.
Oil Burners Give Trouble.
Thereafter, according to com.
pany officials, the only nearby
complaint Of power failure came
from the Rollingwood area o1
Chevy Chase where the lights went
out again at 1928 pm. A Pepct
spokesman said power in thai
area returned automatically ane
the power failure probably wa!
caused by shifting of Transmission

there Is insufficient current, th'

Householders discovered othel
electric freaks. Some complained
that the low voltage coming int,
their homes as power was being
restored had burned out the mo-
tors on their refrigerators. Other.

Interior Aide AssaiIs
Ickes for Accusations
On Coast Oil Leases
BY the Associotsd Press

Harold L. Ickes, who used to
take on all comers when he was
Secretary of the Interior, now is
in quarrel with the department
itself.
Mastin G. White. Interiors So
licitor, said today that Mr.. Ickes
has made defamatory accusations
against the departments handling
of certain California oil leases.
Mr.. White wrote the New Re-
public magazine that one of its
articles by Mr.. 1ckes. March 27
omitted several relevant and i'm
portant facts which were known to
him. or were easily ascertainable.
and which completely refute the
defamatory accusations.
Leases for Drilling.
Mr.. IckeS had criticized the
State Federal agreement by which
California is granting leases for
drilling operations in the 3-mile
marginal belt of submerged coastal
lands of California where owner
ship is still in dispute. Money
from such leases is being held in
a special fund until the courts rule
on the dispute.
Mr.. White said Mr.. 1ckes re-
ferred wholly without justifica-
ton - to a steal of public
property of the greatest magnitude
in American history to Teapot
Dome to the 'connivance of public
officials to the crime of the
American centuries and to the
necessity for certain officials to
attempt to convince the people
whose interests are being betrayed
that they have not been faithless
to the trust assumed by them. "
Sees Interests Protected.
Actually the interests of the
United States are fully protected
by the operating stipulation" Mr..
White said.
ITO the extent that oil is pro-
duced under the stipulation from
lands which the Supreme Court
ultimately holds to be lands be-
meath the Smile marginal belt
the lessons share of the pro-
ceeds will be paid to the United
States.
Neither land nor oil Of the
United States is being disposed of
unlawfully or improvidently as
result of this operating stipula-
tion," the solicitor declared.
