Entombment
Initiated in AS

The entombment OF the two
unknown servicemen today Ia
the result OF legislative prepa-
ration which began ~ years
ago.
The initial bill was adopted
by Congress on June "a. 1916.
-Four other legislative actions
we're necessary 10 bring about
today's solemn ceremony.
Even while World War II
was In progress, the Army as
sumed II might be called on
10 administer the selection and
interment OF a servieeman who
lay unidentified In his grave.
Beginning IN 1913. the Army
drew up a tentative plan which
was held In readiness.
The 1916 House resolution
which became law provided for
the return Of an unidentified
American who lost his life
while serving overseas in the
armed forces Of the United
States during the second
World War"
Medal Bestowed
The next law, March Q. 1913,
awarded the Medal OF Honor
to the unidentified man who
would be the Unknown Of
World War II.
The outbreak Of the Korean
War caused suspension Of the
plans. It was not until 1855
when AMVETS, an organiza-
ton Of World War II veterans,
wrote to Secretary Of Defense
Charles E. Wilson that the
plans were revived. The vet
Grams organization inquired
when the interment would take
place.
Before plans were completed,
the American Legion urged that
an unidentified service man
who had fallen in the Korean
conflict also be honored. A law
providing for this was enacted
August 3, 1856. Last August
there was another law which
awarded the Medal of Honor
to the Korean War unknown.
Final Action In March
The final legislative action
was taken last March 6. 1t pro-
vided that the two unknown
servicemen should lie in state in
the Capitol rotunda. beginning
Wednesday.
The initiator OF four of the
five actions by Congress was
Representative Price, Demo-
crat of Illinois. He served in
the Army in l943 and 1914 and
is a member of AMVETS and
the American Legion. He has
been a House member since
l945 and is serving on the
Armed Services Committee and
the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy.
The bill to award the Medal
of Honor to the World War II
Unknown was offered by the
late Representative Walter G.
Andrews of New York.

The granddaughter who

Gaithersburq
Favored After
Sherwood Win

Gaithersburg's b a S e ball
team, rapidly getting into
stride with a 8-3 win over
Sherwood Tuesday, faces up
to St. Adams tomorrow with
high hopes of repeating the
trick.
Jim LeCompte, the Troian's
all-rounder, has worked his pitch
ing arm up to high efficiency,
and sends down a fast left-hander
which is hard to face even for
the most experienced hitter.
In last weeks game against
Sherwood, 'LeCompte pitched all
seven innings, striking out eleven
men, and winding up with two
hitter.
To round out his performance,
Jim also hit home run for the
Trojans. Larry Porterfield also
played an outstanding game, hit
ting two triples, while Warren
Schwab got three for four.
Wilcox Impressed
Coach Arson Wilcox was i'm
pressed by the potential shown
by tenth grader Frank Cornelius,
playing his first organized game.
Cornelius stole a base, in addition
to throwing two men out.
Having rested LeCompte's arm
by putting in Costello on the
mound for Tuesdays game
against Landon, Wilcox hopes
that Jim's fast ball will be too
much for st. Adams tomorrow.
Sherwood's young pitcher, Ger.
aid Athey, was outstanding in a
poor team against Gaithersburg.
In spite of being cold and nerv-
Gus, he pitched a strong game un-
til the fourth inning, when Lee
Compile came up to bat.
Athey's left-hand pitching was
tailor-made for LeCompte's
southpaw hitting, and the Trojan
proceeded to knock up a single,
a triple, and a homer in rapid
succession, unnerving the junior
Warrior so much that Coach
James Conner took him out.
The same play in reverse
worked to Gaithersburg's a&Van-
tage when Tyson Baker, Sher-
woods southpaw hitter was un-
able to find the range of L.
Complies pitching, and struck
out.
With only two seniors on the
team, Sherwood is in for a stiff
battle against Laurel today.

after the close of the present

It is felt that President Eisen-

ignation, and that Mr.. Adams
will not resign while the inves-
tigation is active.
This generally held opinion
is becoming tempered, however,
by a feeling among some Off

the House Subcommittee OH
Government Oversight ha
conducted the investigation
has reflected adversely on it
and has caused public senti-
ment to veer toward Mr..
Adams.
If this trend exists and con-

lief in the integrity of Mr..
Adams and has said: Il need
