 Somewhere, in many places across the land, sometimes, in many ways, they paused in an nual salute to their heroes.
 Men, women, and their children marched today, Memorial Day. Tn Newark, N.J., they honored AL bert Woolson, 108-year-old sur vivor of the Grand Army of the Republic. Wollson plans to spend quiet day at home in Duluth, Minn.
 Some sang. In the spectacular Hollywood bowl, TOO musicians and vocalists joined in premiere of "The Requiem" by Hector Berioz, in a three-faith service.

 In the Arlington National Gem etery near the nations capital, Vice President Nixon placed a wreath on the marble tomb of the Unknown Soldier this morning, then delivered an address.

Margaret Truman
 Interviews Parents On Nationwide nv

NEW YORK, R m Margaret Truman shared with the public Friday night folksy visit with her parents, former President and Mrs. Harry s. Truman
 Miss Truman was in q New York CBS-TV studio, substituting for Edward R. Murrow on his program ''Person to Person."
 MT. and Mrs. Truman sat re- faxed on the side porch of their rambling home in Independence, Mo.
 The half hour was short on pol itics, considering a former chief executive was being interview ed," but packed with the infor- mality of a family gathering.
 On international affairs and politics, MT. Truman had this to say:
 He thinks the recent signing of the Austrian peace treaty means the world is approaching peace settlement and the end of the cold war"
 He has nothing in particular" up his sleeve politically except to help beat all the Republicans he can.
 The toughest" decision he had to make while President was to send armed forces to the aid of South Korea.
 From their porch the elder Tru- mans wandered through their 89-year-old house the dining room, the living room, parlor, and MT. Truman's den.
 Miss Truman would preface her questions with Daddy" or :'Mo- ther" or "Mommy."
 On the porch her parents oc- cupied metal chairs which squeaked as they rocked while answering questions.
 When his daughter asked what kind of manual work he did around the house, her father re- piled: 1T do an immense amount of it from a rocking chair"
 Mrs. Truman told about find ing lady picking her prize tu- lips and about the throngs of sightseers who appear almost daily.

Southern Soldier Lies Buried In Northern Cemetery

GRAY, Maine, lR mi The tomb stone on the grave of an unknown Confederate soldier is marked Stranger" But the Southerner lies in northern grave among friends.
 The people of Gray have dec orated his grave for Memorial Day, just as they have since the body was shipped to Maine by mistake in the fall of 1862.
 'fIt's one of the strangest, un- told stories of the Civil War;" says Gray historian George T.. Hill.
 On top of the Southerner's grave is pot of Towering geraniums. Over it flutters the Stars and Stripes. The same honor is paid to veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic who sleep nearby.
 There is a difference in the iron markers. On the Southerner's s star is inscribed Veteran 1861- 65." On those of the Northern soldiers is marked GAR Post 78.
 The Confederate soldiers body arrived in Gray as that of It. Charles H. Colley, Co. B, 10th Maine Volunteers.
 "The lieutenant was the son of Amos and Sarah Nash Colley, farm people here," Hill recalled. He was wounded at C e q r Mountain, Aug. g, 1862, and died the following Sept. 20 at Alex andria, Va He was 29.
 ''In those days, the family had to pay the government for en- balming and transportation. The Colley's had done this. When the body arrived, they opened the casket in farewell Instead of their son, they found a fully uni formed Confederate soldier.
 You cah imagine what the consternation and grief must have been like. However, as both com munications and travel were slow at the time, it was decided to bury the unknown soldier in Gray cemetery"
 A tombstone was raised over the grave. It was inscribed:
 "Stranger-a soldier of the late war. Died 1862. Erected by the ladies of Gray"
 It. Colley's body arrived a week later. It is buried 100 feet away.

FEDERAL HOSPITAL AID

Donald Harmeson, Chief, Office

of Health, has received further in
structions on the execution for the
development of a plan for building
with Federal Aid such institutions
as nursing homes, diagnostic CEN
ters, rehabilitation centers and
long term illness hospitals in the
State of Delaware at a conference
completed in New York on jan
uary 24-25.
Upon Mr.. Harmeson's return,
the State Planning Commission
Committee on Medical Care will
be assigned the task of preparing
for an inventory to determine
Delaware's needs in new construc-
fion categories.
Mr.. Harmeson pointed out that
the 83rd Congress passed an
Amendment to the Halliburton
Act which brings into focus the
need" for such institutions.
Also, Congress, in response to a
request from President Eisenhow-
er, passed the necessary legisla-
tion and appropriated limited
amount of funds and set up a
pattern for the states to qualify
for the use of these funds"
DR.. Floyd I. Hudson, executive
secretary, Delaware State Board

sion of Hospital Service would
welcome letters from groups con-
sidering projects in the new con-
