Lieut, on Trial For
Maltreatment Of
Enlisted Men
AUGUSTA, Ga., I#)—A young
Army lieutenant on military trial
for maltreatment of enlisted men
has been described by two senior
officers at Camp Gordon as an
outstanding officer wfjo “shaped
up” a previously shoddy company
of trainees.
Their testimony came Wednes
day after three privates took the
stand to tell of incidents that oc
curred when 2nd Lt. Charles G.
Anderson was assigned to Co. A
. following his graduation from Of
ficer Candidate School at Ft. Ben
ning.
Pvt. James M. Blount of New
York City said at Anderson’s
court martial that Anderson or
dered him to shovel dirt on Pvt.
Rodney R. Steel but that the
lieutenant, noting Steel’s face
was uncovered except for pine
needles, ordered that dirt be
thrown over his face.
Anderson also has been accused
of having one trainee strung up
by his ankles, of having another
scrubbed with sand in a wet rag,
and of having two others climb
a tree and shout an obscene and
self-abusive phrase.
Lt. Col. Morris B. Montgomery
testified that Anderson and Lt.
Robert Penland of the same com
pany Nwere “the two most out
standing officers I had in iny
command” who were not already
company commanders. Montgom
ery is commanding officer of the
1st Infantry Training Regiment
at Camp Gordon.
Col. James O. Wade, said Co. A
was “less responsive than any
other during my regime” before
Anderson was assigned to it. He
said that under Anderson and
Penland the trainees soon “looked
like a seasoned outfit.”
First Giant Squid Since
1872 Taken Off California
LONG BEACH, Calif., liPI—One
of Southern California’s distin
guished guests is a giant 37-pound
squid 9 feet, 9 inches long.
Biologists at the California De
partment of Fish and Game Lab
oratory on Terminal Island, who
caught the 10 - armed deep - sea
monster, said it is the first taken
off the California coast and the
fifth 'caught in Pacific waters
since 1872.
A dragnet was used to catch the
squid at 200 fathoms off Santa
Rosa island. It differs from an
octopus in that it has more arms
and two of its tentacles are twice
as long as the remaining eight.
Both tentacles are equipped with
sharp hooks. It has a parrot-like
beak to tear its food to pieces.

Air Force Academy Hopes
To Engage In National
Pigskin Competition by ’58
DENVER, UP) — The Air Force
Academyi which has yet to regis
ter its first student or sell its
first ticket, hopes to engage in
national football competition by
at least 1958.
But even four years from now,
there is no intention of having
the airmen play the likes of Army
or Notre Dame. Instead a spokes
man said, they will be matched
against college elevens about the
nation that play schedules com
parable to those of teams in the
mountain area.
Colorado was awarded the ac
ademy last summer but its build
ings near the east face of the
mountains 10 miles northwest of
Colorado Springs won’t be ready
until probably 1957. The acad
emy’s first class will begin in
struction next July in its tempor
ary quarters at Lowry Air Force
Base near here.
The academy will have fresh
men football next September and
players on this team will be
seniors in 1958, when the airmen
hope to begin spreading their
wings.

Demo Program
Certain To Create
Friction With Ike
WASHINGTON, l£l — Demo
cratic leaders are shaping up a
legislative program almost cer
tain to create friction with Presi
dent Eisenhower in the new Con
gress.
As outlined Wednesday by Rep.
Rayburn (D-Texi it includes, in
the controversial area, new farm
legislation, pay raises for federal
employes, anjl tax revision.
Rayburn, who is in line to be
come Speaker of the House when
Democrats take over Congress on
Jan. 5, and Rep. McCormack <D
Mass> discussed the program after :
informal huddles with other
Democratic leaders here for the
White House foreign policy meet
ing. McCormack is slated to be
House majority leader.
The program currently does not
involve foreign policy. In that
field, Rayburn told newsmen,
Democrats hope for a bipartisan
approach and for cooperation.
What they want, he said, is “a
strong foreign policy and a strong
national defense.”
One of the first things the new
Congress will consider, Rayburn
said, is a general pay raise for all
federal workers including postal
employes.
