shipped out early in 1912 to a
placed called Bob Cat Island in the
South Pacific. The real name of the
island turned out to be Baro-Bora.
Then there were the compare
lively few veterans who had been
through World War ii but gone to
experience the cold and Illustration
of Korea.
Mixing all the talk together, it
added up to one common denomina-
tor:
Boys, those were the days!"
Generally, this meeting of the
ex-citizen soldier fraternity was
gay but there was one moment of
deep silence and solemn thought.
Following the Invocation by
Brig. Gen. Park w. Huntington
of the old 198th, a bugler sounded
taps.
And in those brief moments, 700
minds quickly thought of the fell
lows who never came back or who
showed off since-or just could
never make a reunion because of
disabilities.
On paper, the reunion commem-
Grated number of events:
The Goth anniversary of the fed
eralization for World War II; the
Tooth anniversary of the birth of
the general of the armies, John j.
Pershing, commander in chief of
the old A.E.F.; and the 10th ami
yersary of liberalization for the
Korean War.
There were some prizes award
ed, too.
Edward c. Johnson of the old
Battery A, 198th, who had been on
Bora Bora, made the reunion, all
the way from his home in Haw-
thorne, Calf, and he got a prize,
for having come the longest dis
tance.
Brig. Gen. William Berl (re-
tired), got a prize because he
could boast of 16 descendants.
Gov. j. Caleb Boggs was there
for the first part of the reunion
and he was rightfully part of it
because he had started his military
career with the Delaware National
Guard as a buck private.
Lit. Gov. David p. Buckson was
there as high ranking official of
the state and also in his own right
as veteran of service on Bora
Bora with the 198th.
One of the interesting sights was
watching some of the veterans skip
among units they had served with
in their military careers.
Maj. Fred Manion, for example,
he had been with the First Della
ware Volunteers on the Mexican
Border, the 59th Pioneer in France,
the 198th and later with the 261st.
Greetings were extended by rep
resentatives of various units
Brig. Gen. Harry B. van Solver for
the 59th; Brig. Gen. George j.
Schulz for his old regiment, the
I98th, that he commanded in the
South Pacific; Col. Henry X. Ros-
coe for the 261st, and Brig. Gen.
Frank T. Lynch for the 736th that
had been shipped over to Korea
James F. McCloskey was in
charge of the Pershing centennial
observance and the 287th Army
Band of the Delaware National
Guard serenaded the reunionists.
After dinner, Chaplain Hunting
ton showed some movies of life on
Bora Bora and 1t. Col. Leroy M.
Haitsch displayed colored slides of
mis- 1858 return trip to the islands.
A colorful highlight was the ad-
vance of the colors by detail
from the American Rifles of the
Delaware National Guard-the men
dressed in their replicas of the Del
aware Continentals of the Revolu-
tiOnary War.

For the OAS:
No Red Veto

The United Nations Security

contention that actions Of the
Organization of American States

Precedent, it has long been es-

itself when decisions must be
