TO GIVE PARTY
FOR L. w. MIDGETT
AT SHRINE CLUB
Popular Keeper of Chicani-
comico Station to Retire
December End

DS uSIGIIll1l6u dlISI IIlPIe Is SOIle
sort of coordination among his
multitudes of friends but it is
already certain that when he de-
parts from the service of the
U. S. Coast Guard on his birthday
December End BMC O) Levene
w. Midget will have a farewell
party that will be something not
only for the veteran, and the last,
of the surfman to remember long
after the last unused oar has
rotted.
Such friends as Comptroller
General Lindsay Warren suggest
that the thing ought to be staged
somewhere north of Oregon In
let so that Chiefs friends from
afar can get at him for the festal
day and, on the other hand, Ad-
miral Russell E. Wood, District
commander of the Coast Guard,
inclines to the notion that the
thing ought to be staged right in
the ancient Chicamicomico Sta
ton of which he is the third and
last officer in charge.
Admiral Wood has heartily
agreed to come down to the Sta
ton on the day of the Chiefs re-
tirement and sign him out of the
service right there in the station
which he has commanded since
shortly after the death of the
late great Capt. John Allen Mid
gett early in 1888. He would like
to see all of the Chiefs retired
friends and associates of the SER
vic come back to the station that
day for a remembrance of things
past.
On the other hand, scores of
friends, like Lindsay Warren,
who live at great distances from
Chicamicomico and who, prob
ably, have heard distressing talk
of the crowding of the ferries,
suggest that the thing ought to be
had in some place like the Shrine
Club on the beach so they could
get down there in suitable num-
bers and with some chance of
getting home again after it is
over.
Congressman Herbert c. Bon
ner takes neutral ground and
says that where ever they have it
he will attend and has even put
forward the suggestion that two
celebrations in one day, one
down here and a second one
north of the Inlet might be a fea-
sible solution of the matter. Any
how, it is apparent that there is
going to be a farewell party, and
maybe several of them. Chief
Warrant Officer Cyrus Gray,
group commander of stations on
Hatteras Island aims to be pre-
sent, helpfully, at any or all of
them.
For the past several weeks
there have been widely current
reports that many of the Lifeboat
Stations along the North Caro-
lima coast were scheduled for
closing but that question has
been deferred at the instance of
Congressman Bonner until after
January. Even when it was plan
ned to close them down as of last
Monday, or at the beginning of
November, Admiral Wood sent
down word that there would be
station here as long as Levene
Midget was here to command it,
which had deferred closing any
how until after December End.
Next January, if he were left
in service and the station here
were continued, Chief Midget
would be rounding out his 10Th
year as officer in charge. Pre-
ceeding him, Captain John Allen
Midget had the Station from
Capt. Bannister L. Midget in
1915 and commanded it-.for %
years. Captain Bannister helped

France 10 Cut Army,
Build Up Air Force
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 8.-France plans
to cut down slightly on her army
but build up her air force in 1854,
according to detailed military
budget plans submitted to the
National Assembly.
American aid to pay for
equipping and training native
forces in Indo-China will permit
an overall reduction of about 16
per cent in the military spending.
The detailed figures were given
yesterday to the National Assem-
bly,. The total amounts had been
submitted previously in the full
budget, which cuts the govern
ment's spending as a whole by
about 1.5 per cent.
The 1854 budget calls for an
expenditure of 925 billion francs
($2. .642, 1856. 5000 against 1.103 bill
lion francs ($3,l51 ,434 ,220) in
1858. American aid-about 494
million in 1853 and, tentatively,
$528, ,571 300 in 1954-is addi-
tiOnal.
The land forces will be reduced
from 100000 men to 413,400 in
1854.
The Air Force will be built up
to 1896 men from 1i7.O00.
The naval budget will remain
stationary but the number of
men will increase from $4,000 to
| II 900.

Escaped Leopard Slain
After Brief Freedom
BY the Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. g.
Lii the leopard took a cue from
her famous mate yesterday, at
tacking ZOO attendant and
escaping as Leapy did just three
years ago.
And, like her mates eScapade
in 1850. Lil's ended in death.
She was hunted down by the
Lincoln Park Zoo director, Julian
Frazier, and killed with single
blast from his 12-guage shotgun.
The unruly 100-pound cat
sprang to freedom through an
unlocked door that connected
the puma cage with the leopard
pits. She made the break at
noon when the grounds were
deserted, except for a few at
tendantS cleaning cages.
Attendant H. A. AlSup, in q
daring attempt to block the
leopard's escape, was bitten Sc
verely.
The animal was found 80 min
utes later in Shrubbery near the
pits and killed by Mr.. Frazier.
