Colin Kelly HI Will Follow Father To West Point

CHESTER HEIGHTS, Pa, R- "Corky' Kelly, son of one of the nations first heroes of World War II, has decided he wants to follow the footsteps of his father to the US. Military Academy at West Point.
 Corky, formally known as Colin P. Kelly III, is a 17-year- old high school senior on whose behalf President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941 wrote a letter to "the President of the United States in 1958."
 The letter, written when Corky was Is months old, asked that the merits of young American youth of goodly heritage" be con- sidered for appointment to the academy "as token of the na- tion's appreciation of the heroic services of his father" Army Air Force Capt. Colin P. Kelly Jr.
 Capt. Kelly, flying a B-17 out of Clark Field in the Philippines in the early days of the war, first was credited with sinking the Japanese battleship Haruna. It turned out later, however, that his target was the heavy cruiser Ashigara, which was not sunk.
 Corky lives in this suburban Philadelphia community, with his mother and stepfather, pr. and Mrs. J. Watson Pedlow, who dis closed Corky's intentions today.
 But West Point is probably more than a year off for Corky Mrs. Pedlow said that in prepar- ation for possible appointment, Corky has been accepted by an unnamed college where he plan ned year of study before enter ing the academy.
 Corky's record speaks for him. The six-foot two-inch youngster is president of the study body at Westtown Friends School, has a high academic rating and has achieved Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts.

 So, starting April 7, all trouser- like garb will be banned for 2,000 women students.
 Tt started with slacks and blue jeans," says Mrs. Marjorie Lords assistant dean of student activi- ties, "then went on to Bermuda and Jamaica shorts.
 "When they started wearing the shortest short-shorts they could find, it was too much. Not many girls wore them, but when they did no one paid attention to the professors. The situation just got out of hand"
 The ban was decreed by women student leaders, who suggested the new Sacklike chemise dresses as replacements.
