.USDA Confirms
Short Apple Crop

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, July
I23 Especially The July / apple
crop estimates of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture confirm the
earlier estimates of a very short
national crop.
The total United States crop is
II million bushels. or Is per cent
smaller than 1855. USDA says.
For the four Appalachian
States, USDA sees II million
bushels. This is 3 per cent
smaller than last seasons crop.
Some longtime trends are now
showing up. The average apple
production of this four-State APP
palachian belt has shrunk % per
cent within two decades, depart
ment reports show. The apple
tree population of the belt has
shrunk % per cent in the past
five years, according to the
agricultural census.
The 10-year apple crop for
the belt now is ST. million BUSH
els less than in the '30s. The
apple tree population in 1854 was
almost 1l2 million trees less than
in 1949 for the 40 major apple
counties of the belt.

-Czechs Renovute
.Musuryk's Grove

VIENNA, July % (P.-Reports
from Prague said today Czecho-
slovakia's Communists have
quietly renovated the neglected
grave of Thomas G.. Masaryk,
the Nations founder and first
president.
Mr.. Masaryk is buried at
Lany, near Prague. Workmen
of the cemeteries administration
recently appeared to fix up the
grave and also restore cemetery
walls.
1t was believed the work was
undertaken because Czechoslo-
vakia now is admitting some
Western tourists who want to
visit the grave and would re-
port on its condition.
Mr.. MaSaryk'S memory was
degraded by the Communists
during the Stain era. He and
his disciple, former President
Eduard Benes, were described as
enemies of communism and
progress. Masaryk memorials
were removed.

held in 1926 under Bolivar's
stewardship.
The presidents entered the
Bolivar Room, now part of st.
Augustine College, and heard the
declaration read. But this was
Ia mere formality since the docu-
ment had been circulated well
ahead Of the conference.
Then the chiefs of state went
outside to a specially-built plat
form in the school courtyard.
They sat under green and
white striped canvas canopy,
stepping forward one at time
to sign the declaration which
lay on small table covered
with an ornate tapestry.
During the three-mile trip to
and from the ceremony, Mr..
Eisenhower smiled broadly as he
stood in his car and waved to
the cheering throngs.
After a belated nap and dinner
at the embassy, Mr.. Eisenhower
returned to duty with the execu-
tives as co-host at a reception
in the Hotel Ell Panama for
President and Mrs. AriaS.
During the reception he locked
arms with Mr.. Arias for a cham
payne toast. But Mr.. Eisenhower
told the waiter to pour him
"juSt a SIP" He got a quarter
glass with no ref1lls. He passed
up the food completely at the
elaborate buffet.
Mr.. Eisenhower seemed to
relish the greetings of the
crowds and social exchanges so
thoroughly that newsmen on the
scene speculated whether it might
tempt him to try for more per-
sonal contact campaigning in
the United States presidential
election than the Republicans
have been planning.
But on that score Mr.. Eisen-
mowers aides kept completely
silent.

the trial counsel to subpoena as

tary affairs the trial counsel,
as prosecutor, also is charged

Expense to Government
Mr.. Berman said one reason
advanced by the prosecution for
limiting the number of witnesses
was the "inordinate expense" the
Government would be put to in
calling, and picking up the tai
for all the witnesses the defense
may desire.
That argument" the attorney

He said the law officer car

he promised a loud protest if il

aspect while the trial is in
progress"
Mr.. Berman said he had re-
ceived more than 500 kilograms,
several hundred" letters and
about 300 telephone calls from
ex-Marines offering to testify
in Sergt. McKeon's defense or
otherwise offering support.
He picked two kilograms from
a batch received yesterday. One
from a Miami ex-Marine said
forced marches into Ribbon
Creek at night routine for all
platoons. Will testify at own
expense if necessary" Another,
from five one-time boots" in
Albany, called the practice COM

Mr.. Berman revealed he had
received an offer from Marine
reserve captain, Henry Stephens,
", of Crosse Point, Mich,
pledging $4,000 to Sergt. Nc
Keon's defense and numerous SIS
and $40 checks in letters.
''Victim of Circumstances"
In his telegram, Mr.. Stephens,
scion of an old and wealthy
Michigan lumber family, said
Sergt. McKeon was "a victim of
circumstances" and has paid
his penalty to the Marine Corps
and his God" In Detroit, Mr..
Stephens said he was acting with
four or fiveother former Marine
officers and was guaranteeing the
payment.
Mr.. Berman said that up to
this point funds are not being
accepted and contributions are
being returned with our graft
tude." Most of the 800 telephone
calls received were collect, Mr.
Berman said, and added: 1--WE
asked for the bill and I'm await
ing it with trepidation." He said
he is paying the bill himself
The attorney also said he
would undertake to have ad-
mitted as evidence in the trial an
analysis by Marine headquarters
of more than $1,000 replies to a
QUESTIONABLE on training prac-
tices. The queStionnaireS were
sent out after the April 8 tragedy
He said the QUESTIONABLE
dealt, among other things, with
abuses and mistreatment but die
not mention night exercises. Mr.
Berman said this was not put in
the QUESTIONABLE because they
(the Marines) didn't regard this
as a practice that was oppressive

witness said.
He said the sergeant stepped.
toward him, drew back his hand,
and then turned away lin dis
gust" but, then slapped him.
He also testified the sergeant
tried to egg him into a fight
with another husky recruit, Nor
man Alfred Wood, who also was
in the room. Pvt. Wood died
that night in the creek.
Four Asked for Aid
Young Maloof said the accused
sergeant, on the day of the
march, called in the four largest
Marines to try to get them to
get the platoon squared away"
from its disorganized state. He
said the sergeant had a way of
saying things on the firing range
and elsewhere that made us feel
100 per cent better. He was
always there"
AS he neared the end of his
description of the meeting in the
sergeant's room just prior to
starting on the march, young
Maloof said he and the others
left and talked over what the
drill instructor had said.
I'VE agreed we had goofed off
We all felt We had let him down.
We decided we'd get things
squared away. He did every
thing for us and he got a knife
in the back"
"And that's your feeling now?"
asked Mr.. Berman.
Yes sir" young Maloof re-
piled.
That's ALL Mr.. Berman said
softly.
Recruit Tells of Fright
Another witness was Pvt,
Louis Leake. who testified he
was really scared" of water and
was almost paralyzed' while
the Inflated Platoon II was in
the creek. He rode piggy-back
out OF the water on Pvt. Walter
Sygman of New York and was
taken to the dispensary suffer
ing from chills.
Was it chills from being cold
or being scared?" asked Mr.
Berman.
Both said the diminutive
Negro Marine.
He also testified Sergt. Nc
Keen took an interest in him
and was a good drill instructor.
Dim View" Of Limitation
The general court martial
entered its second week with
chief defense counsel Emile Zols
Berman taking "a dim view" OF
a prosecution move to limit the
number Of his witnesses.
Mr.. Berman called a news con-
ference yesterday to report thai
the prosecution had begun max.
ing noises about a limitation in
an informal discussion last week
The fiery New York lawyer said
he would not agree to any
limitation.
Mr.. Berman revealed that he
was ready to call as many as
200 witnesses to show that such
night marches as the one led
by Sergt. McKeon have been an
accepted practice in recruit
training despite denials from
Gen. Randolph McC. Pate, the
commandment. and other Marine
officers.
Since from Marine headouar
tiers to battalion commanders or
this base there has been a con-
sistent denial Of the existence
and validity Of these practices,
Mr.. Berman said, Il shall take q
very dim view Of any action that
does not permit the defense tc
adequately prove the facts"
Mr.. Berman said he wants tc
call as many witnesses as are
required so that no man car

So saying, the commission or

The order was issued against

the information they sought in
Icluded the present addresses of

The ETC said the forms used
gave the false impression that

the debtor money due him.

For Neutral Bloc

LONDON, May "a (P.-Hugh
Gaitskell, British Labor Party
leader, returned from the United

wide acceptance there of the
idea of a neutral bloc in the
East-West cold war.
THE American attitude on in
ternational questions is rather
more relaxed than it was few
years ago." Mr., Gaitskell told
newsmen at London Airport. Mr.
Gaitskell. who replaced Clement
Attlee as Labor Party leader last
year, spent nine days in the

There is a widespread accept
ance of the view that countries
like India. for instance, who wish
to be neutral should be allowed
to do so. There is no point in
trying to force them into any
ALLIANCE or even to persuade
them"
Mr.. Gaitskell, who conferred
with President Eisenhower in

had asked the President when

reason for this is that customs
