He made no comment in con-

to what course the President

Herter himself previously made
it clear he will go along with the

Mr.. Stassen said today he has
already made plans for his Her

McKeon Tells Of Trips
To Swomps as Recruit

Sergt. McKeon scored 84.90 and
ranked 14th in a class of SIS drill
instructors who were graduated
at the D. 1. school last February
3. The grade was above the aver
age for the school.
A report on a psychiatric
screening for the D. l. School
revealed that the sergeant was
rated as having a strong desire
for D. 1. duty" And as Jun
usually stable, well-integrated
and with an average hostility
factor"
Mr.. Berman called a news con-
ference during a brief recess in
the trial to announce he had
requested Gen. Pate as a witness.
1t was not revealed whether he
had been in touch with the>eom-
mandant by telephone or during
a trip he made last week end.
Cites Night March Ban
Gen. Pate made a formal ap-
pearance before the House Armed
Services Committee on May l
to make a report on the drown
ings. At that time, he said the
sergeant, who was then a drill
instructor, would be punished to
the fullest extent possible, and
machinery was set in motion for
the general court-martial now in
the 18th day here.
Gen. Pate has contended that
night marches into the Swamps.
boondocks and creeks around
this recruit training base were
not an accepted practice and
were barred by regulations. He
said he never knew of such
marches.
The defense is claiming that
such marches, while not author
lied, were an accepted and
standard practice here for many
years.
Eighteen ex-Marines have VOL
unteered to testify that such
practices have been carried on
in the past. They have been
arriving here over the past two
days and are expected to take
the stand tomorrow or Thursday.
Two Motions Fail
The defense got off to a slow
start yesterday at the beginning
of the third week of the trial
after the court overruled Mr..
Berman's motions to dismiss
charges of manslaughter, OPP
preston of troops and one Of
the two drinking charges against
the accused. A second drinking
charge, imbibing a bit while on
duty. was not contested.

reasonably necessary to accom-

The penalty for doing other
wise, such as a well-directed blow

Arlington Court Ruling
Near in Segregation Suit

A decision is expected today

to end racial segregation in Ar
Ilington County schools.
Alexandria Federal Court
Judge Albert v. Bryan took the
case filed by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People under advisement
yesterday after a six-hour hear
ing.
Judge Bryan told attorneys for
the county and the State and for
the NAACP that he expected to

Although the judge heard ar
gumentS on motions filed in the
case, he indicated he would make
final disposition in the matter.
He said he could either uphold
the States motions to dismiss
the case or he could Ceny the
motion and, in denying 1T, enter
a Judgment for the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs are seeking 9

School Board to stop assigning
pupils to schools on the basis q
