Gen. Randolph Mccall
Pate who retires on December
81 as commandant of the
United States Marine Corps
declared yesterday that the
Marine Corps "old" recruit
training program has been
modified into an even
stronger and more efficient
one"
THE young Marines who
emerge from our recruit de-
pots today are the best we
have ever produced" the
general told the Marine Of
flcers Wives Club in a fare
well speech at their annual
Christmas luncheon at the
Army Navy Country Club.
Recalls 1856
The generals statement
was an apparent reference
to the reform that followed
what he termed the "un-
fortunate incident at Paris
Island in 1856" when a
Marine Corps drill instructor
led six recruits to their deaths
in a tidal stream near the
recruit depot on a night dis
ciplinary march.
Picturing the incident as
mot the least of the trials
and tribulations" the Corps
has encountered during his
four years as commandant.
Gen. Pate declared that "our
Marine Corps family suffered
a rather severe jolt then and
it took the combined efforts
Of Marines everywhere and
their wives to put the train
back on the track.
You have no idea how
proud I am of the manner in
which you responded to the
requirements of the situa-
ton" he told the Marine
wives.
In the uphill climb we
have modified the old recruit
training system into an even
stronger and more efficient
one"
Gen. Pate then read a
letter addressed to Secretary
of Defense Thomas S. Gates
when the latter was Deputy
Secretary from the father of
0 Paris Island recuit. The
letter praised the results

Marine Corps training and
discipline had brought about
in the recruit.
Generalizing on three
points made in the letter,
Gen. Pate declared that "our
recruits after IL weeks are in
outstanding physical condi-
ton; I assure you most of
them don't come to us in
that shape. Our system
builds character and helps
m a ture our embryonic
Marines.
And the politicians and
the taxpayers should appre-
ciate the fact that the author
tof this letter. indicated his
tax dollars are more than
well spent by the Marine
Corps.
The luncheon and a recep-
ton beforehand honored
Gen. and Mrs. Pate who has
been the clubs honorary
president, and the outgoing
assistant commandant. Gen.
Verne j. McCaul, and Mrs.
McCaul.
The club presented fare
well gifts of a silver tray to
Mrs. Pate and a box of
name-engraved golf balls to
Mrs. McCaul. The Pates are
retiring to Beaufort, S. C.
where they will build a home,
and the McCauls are going to
settle down in San Diego,
Calf.
Among those present at
the luncheon was Mrs. David
M. Shoup. wife of the newly
designated Marine Corps
commandant.
Since her husband won't
assume his new duties until
he's officially sworn in on
January l, Mrs. Shoup said
the reception following the
traditional New Years Day
Marine Band serenade of the

observance.

their first store there.
Michael managed the Phoenix
branch and Joseph remained in
charge of the Ehrenberg store un-
til he sold out to his brother in
order to try his luck in the new
mining area of Tombstone. Joseph
took on a new partner from Yuma,
q Mr.. CaStenada, and they pros
pered with a string of general mer-
chandiSing stores in Tombstone,

JOSEPH AND his son, Lem,
played key roles in the Bisbee
Murders, in which five holdup men
killed three men and wounded
woman and robbed the Goldwater-
Castenada store of 81 900 in futile
search for the Copper Queen mine
payroll. The stagecoach office,
which was to have the payroll, was
at the store, but the GoldwaterS
had the money hidden in a barley
sack.
The holdup men were caught,
tried, and executed. An accomplice
received a life sentence but was
lynched.
Two of Michaers five sons,
Baron and Morris, supervised
the further growth of Goldwater'S
store in Phoenix. The store is still
operated by Baron's son, Bob,
while Baron's other son, Barry, Is
