Marine League
Backs TRAINING

William D. Webster, national
Icommandant of the Marine Corps
League. said today the trial of
|S/Sergt. Matthew C. McKeon
must not bring about softening
of Marine Corps training.
Mr.. Webster said he had spent
three days this week at the court
martial trial of the Marine drill
Instructor. Mr.. Webster went
Through boot training at Paris
Island in 1912. He served in
Marine aviation as an enlisted
man in the Atlantic and Pacific
Itheaters in World War II.
He said:
I'VE of the Marine Corps
League feel that the tremendous
publicity given this trial may
bring about a call for the soften
ing Of the training Of the Marine
Corps. Let us face the cold facts
that war is no respecter of time,
or day or night.
Every man coming over the
bridge into Paris Island should
leave there a Marine of the same
caliber as those who left there
during the wars. They are not
there as recruits for laughs or a
lark, but for the deadly serious
business of becoming a part OF
what we consider one of the
front lines of the defense Of our
country. the United States Ma
rine Corps.
I'm order for this corps to re-
main effective we cannot allow
a radical change in the recruit
training system. a system that
has had 1870 years Of success"

Missouri Owns Bridge,
But Illinois Gets Tolls

County. The toll was Is cents.
It long since had paid for itself.
In June. st. Charles County
authorities revoked the tolls, de-
clared it free bridge. and pre-
sented the deed to the Missouri
Highway Department.
Anguished cries arose from
Alton. Mayor Leo Strut said.
Instead of giving the city of
Alton and the Illinois Highway
Department free bridge, they
propose to dump into the laps of
the taxpayers of Alton the
lmillion-dollar problem of provid-
ing adequate bridge approaches
and the expensive solution of the
attendant traffic problem.
Alton City Judge I. H. Streeper
issued an Injunction. The city
seized the Alton end of the
bridge. A receiver was named. A
l15-cent toll was imposed.
At first some motorists cross
ing the bridge demanded re-
ceipts, on the chance that Alton
might some day be ordered to re-
fund the tolls. The receiver re-
fused to provide receipts. Some
motorists managed to drive
through the Alton toll station
without paying.

sounded like the roll call of
troubled spots of the world for
the last 81 years. and acknowl-
edged restrainedly that he had
been decorated many times.
AS far as the defense was con-
cerned, the appearance of Gen,
Fuller seemed to be putting more
icing on the cake after the
testimony yesterday of Gen.
Pate.
Seen as Blow to Prosecution
The commandments testimony
was regarded as dealing a heavy
blow at the prosecutions efforts
in this court martial, approved
by Gen. Pate himself, to convict
the former drill instructor.
The com m andant went
down the line as a de-
Tense witness. Asked, for legal
amenities. a hypothetical ques-
ton of what he would have done
in a case paralleling in every
detail the death march, except
the accuSed's name. Gen. Pate
said:
Il probably would have trans
ferred him away for stupidity,
more politely, lack of judgment. :"
He also said he would have
written in the books" that the
sergeant should never drill
troops again.
Asked by Mr.. Berman if he
would regard such a march,
apart from the tragic results, as
oppression of troops, Gen. Pate
replied:
Il wouldn't call that oppres-
sion, no."
On the drinking charges. the
commandment allowed that he
might take a stripe away"

The generals testimony was a
strange flip-flop from what he
said before the House Armed
Services Committee on May | in
reporting on the Ribbon Greek

seemed in full cry after Sergt.
scalp and said he
should be punished to the fullest
extent possible.
Wearing dark glasses, his shirt
collar open and no tie, as is the
custom here, the four-star gen.
eral testified easily and even
flippantly at times.
AT one point he was asked
by Mr.. Berman if he would like
a drink of water. The general,
apparently ignoring the fact that
two of the charges against the
sergeant involve drinking, coun-
tered: Don't you have anything
better to offer?"
At another point, Mr.. Berman,

Prohibits Cruelty
"A drill instructor has no SUI

the person or property of the re-

hibits cruelty. oppression and
maltreatment," as we'll as haz-

Drill instructors are not au-

oral reprimand," it states. In
fact, the DI cannot touch the

recruit except to correct posture,
Clothing and similar reasons.
The SOP advocates main
tenance of that position of lofty
respect commanded traditionally
by drill instructors. 1t states:
