those who had seen it many
times as it was to first viewers.
The Marine Band and the
Drum and Bugle Corps were a
symphony Of red. black and gold
as they marched in review down
the Marine Barracks parade
ground. There was the moment
of reverent silence as Old Glory
descended for another nights
rest. And there was resounding
applause as the Drill Team went
through a precision bayonet drill
from which the Rockettes could
take a cue.
Guests Move to Gorden
The parade over, the guests
drifted toward the commandments
house where Gen. and Mrs.
Shepherd and the Secretary and
Mrs. Thomas received them in
the cool, hedge-inclosed garden.
Mrs. Shepherd was a vision in
blue. For the occasion she wore
a lovely sleeveless embroidered
linen sheath, fashioned with cowl
neckline, and with it wore shoes
of the same color and a little
hat Of forget-me-not flowers.
Mrs. Thomas wore a white silk
print with a smart white chapeau.
Among distinguished early ar
rivals were the popular Spanish
visitors, the Marquesa de villa
verde and her husband. accom-
panied by the Spanish Ambassa-
dor. The fashionable daughter
Of SPANS Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco wore a tropical print
with red silk cummerbund and

mented her dark beauty.

basSador and Lady Spender and

Three Intercept Girls Purse;
Victim Throws One for Loss

Three young purse-snatchers,
passing with the agility of a
-Notre Dame backf1eld, rolled up
a score of $10.35 on downtown
streets yesterday.
But their fast-breaking, To-
year-old girl victim brought
down one of the trio and threw
him for a safety at the Women's
Bureau.
AS Robbery Squad Detective
Sergt. James Roche pieced the
story together from Thelma
Taylor, colored, of 1926 Fifteenth
street NE, and the admissions
Of her 11-year-old captive, it
went like this:
Miss Taylor was walking south
on Seventh street NV, near O
street, when the 11-year-old
snatched her purse and moved
off fast.
The fleet Miss Taylor broke
after him and almost had him.
Then the youngSter lateraled the
purse to one of two companions.
Miss Taylor switched her pur-
suit, and the purse was tossed
back to the 11-year-old.
Evening star., 1954-04-14

Seeing the opposition gaining
on him, the youngster ducked
under a car at Eighth and o
streets NV. Miss Taylor ducked
under right behind him and
hauled him out.
When she found the money
gone from her purse. she
dragged the boy over to the
Women's Bureau at 1924 Fifth
street NV. There, police Off
cials dropped a flag on the play.
After listening to the two
stories, they charged the boy
with robbery and called the
game to hunt his two COM

Amazing Before-and-After
tests now prove to dermatologists>
that this yupey-retfned, ,0nhydrous
lanolin in Formula 9 is absorbed
by the outer layers of hair and
scalp, to help rectify lost oil-and-
moisture balance, to make drab,
dry hair look healthier, hand

Hair owes its healthy, handsome
appearance, its "life," strength
and manageability to the fact that
it contains and retains as much
as 8O% moisture that, normally,
is married" to the hair by the
scalp's natural oils.
Because this moisture can
evaporate; because without mois-
ture human hair can die of
thirst, Charles Antell created
Formula 9, with its concentrated,
SupeT-retfned, anllydrouS lanolin.
For SupeT-retined. anhydrous
lanolin contains the same bene-
fetal, moisture-loving substances
natural oils contain, and absorbs
or retains up to 500 of its own

Comdr. Connell said he did not
agree with a recent resolution
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
in q charge that the last three
administrations had shown q
cynical disregard for veterans.
He said:
1.-THE American people have
been very generous to veterans
through their representatives in
Congress. The OF Bill, with its
many benefits. is a typical ex-
ample. Another Is the Federal
system Of hospitals. which is now
the finest IN history"
The commander predicted the
convention would adopt strong
resolutions on Americanism and
national security. He said he
was sure there would be recon-
mendations against the recog-
milton Of Red China by the
united states and opposition to
Red China's admission to the
United Nations. He said the

Korean War Victory
By the Associated Pres,

ORLANDO, Fla, Aug. ga
retired Air Force general told a
Senate subcommittee here yes
terday that I'VE were required to
lose" the Korean war.
He was 1t. Gen. George E.
Stratemeyer, now living In
nearby Winter Park after a heart
attack in 1851.
The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee came here because
of his physical condition and
heard him in closed sessions.
Gen. Stratemeyer told the
committee that state Depart
ment and political interference
kept us from winning the war;"
Gen. Mark Clark recently told
the committee he, too. felt that
military decisions had been over
ridden by other considerations.
Gen. Stratemeyer said that as
head Of the Far East Air Force
under Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
"I wasn't permitted to do job
and certainly Macarthur was
handcuffed. Never before In
American history was a military
commander placed in the posi-
ton of not being allowed to win"
He said that in his opinion 1t
was not the fault of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff in Washington.
When they visited Tokyo, he
said, "They tried to explain the
handicaps placed upon them and
promised to do everything they
could to give us what we had to
have to win.
I'VE never had enough ground
troops. but we could have won
with what we had on the ground
and in the air If we had been
allowed to use it wisely from .
military standpoint"
Gen. Stratemeyer said his
planes were forced to bomb
bridges across the Yalu River
crossways instead Of lengthwise
so we would not violate the
Manchurian and Siberian bor-
ders."
Under questioning by Jay
Sourwine, counsel for. the Senate
Judiciary Committee and Alva
Carpenter. subcommittee coun&
sci, as wen as Senator Met arran,
Democratic, OF Nevada. Gen.
Stratemeyer said this method OF
bombing made 1t impossible to
knock out the bridges. although
one bridge was dropped into the
river.
i But the pontoon bridges built
by the Chinese to replace the.
| fiattened span had to be bombed
| the same way and only at the
south end so that the enemy
was able to replace them over
night." he said
