“Brother Bear” Is
Lumped With Being the
World's Worst Litterbug
NEW YORK UP — Brother bear
was lumped today with urban
developers, highway engineers
and industrialists as despoilers
of things beautiful.
All drew the fire of Conrad L.
Wirth, Director of the National
Park Service, in an address at
the annual meeting of the Keep
America Beautiful, Inc., advisory
council.
Wirth said the judgment of hu
man beings is dwarfed by the
dollar.
Driven by awesome appetities,
the bears are among the world’s
worst litterbugs, he added.
The park service head com
mented:
“The sight of a campground
after a big black bear has investi
gated a few garbage and trash
containers is a sight to reduce a
stouthearted Keep America Beau
tiful supporter to tears.”
For this reason, he continued,
park service personnel plans to
institute sunset patrols to empty
trash cans before the bears do it
for them.
The parks service chief said
that what the country does in the
next decade probably will deter
mine whether sufficient open
space wTill be provided for the
year 2000, when the U. S. popula
tion is expected to reach 360 mil
lion.
He added that existing park
lands and undeveloped potential
park and recreational areas are
“particular targets for fast-mov
ing men of so-called progress with
short-range vision.
Magazine Ban Lifted
At Marine Corps Base
WASHINGTON UP — Leather
necks at Camp Lejune now can
buy a magazine with an article
entitled “Harry Truman was Right
when He Slammed the Marines.”
The magazine is on sale at the
Norfti Carolina base today by
order of Gen. David M. Shoup,
•Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Maj. Gen. Robert Luckey, Le
june Commander, banned sale of
the March issue of the magazine
Cavalier on the base because of
the article.
Written by retired Marine Brig.
Gen. William B. McKean, it dis
puted Marine history and said
“The Marine Hymn” is not fact
ual.
Shoup told Luckey: “While you
are not in violation of any regu
lation by the action it is my
judgment the magazine should
■be returned to the newsstands.”

Demonstrations Against
Polaris Base in Scotland
By Ronald Thomson
LONDON UP> — Huge demon
strations against America’s pro
j jected Polaris base in Scotland
got underway Saturday in London
and Glasgow.
The surge of protests signaled
the start of a civil disobedience
campaign launched by 88-year
old Earl Bertrand Russell, the
j philosopher who is probably Bri
! tain’s angriest old man.
Thousands of English and Scots
| were on the march, holding ral
j lies, passing resolutions and dis
rupting traffic. Police were out
j in force to make sure no disorders
erupted. Organizers told the
i marchers to be strictly non-vio
lent.
More than 4,000 people left
I London’s marble arch and headed
for a rally in Trafalgar Square,
picking up supporters along the
way.
In Glasgow, only 30 miles from
the Polaris base at Holy Loch, the
clans gathered for another big
show of protest.
The marchers were organized
1 by organizations demanding that
j Britain unilaterally abandon nu
I clear weapons. But the U. S.
i Holy Loch base — which will be
set up late this month or early
in March with the arrival of the
depot ship Proteus — provided a
focus for the protests.
One group of demonstrators, led
; by black-bearded Englishman Pat
Farrer, rowed out into the Holy
Loch during the night and fixed
i anti-Polaris placards on buoys
marking the area of the base.
BURGLARS TUNNEL
UNDER SEATTLE BANK
SEATTLE, 141 — Burglars tun
neled 25 feet under a branch bank
here and got away with $25,000 to
$30,000, bank officials discovered
today.
The theft occurred at the South
| Seattle branch of the People’s Na
| tional Bank of Washington.
The tunnel, started from a dirt
bank across an alley from the
bank, led up through the floor of
the vault.
Japanese Doctors Strike

Supreme Court Upholds
1871 Civil Rights Act
WASHINGTON, UP) —The Sup
reme Court, interpreting a 90
year-old statute enacted as a wea
pon against the Ku Klux Klan,
held today a Chicago family can
sue city police in federal court
for entering their apartment with
out a warrant and pushing them
around.
The high court’s unanimous
ruling on the Civil Rights Act of
1871 overturned lower courts
which had held that James Mon
roe and his family could only sue
in state courts.
The city itself cannot be sued
under the ruling. Eight of the jus
tices agreed on that. Dissenting
on this point, Justice Frankfurter
said he felt the city as well as
the police officers could be sued
under the federal statute.

Tomorrow’s GI
Will Be a Human
Power Plant
By Barry Schweid
Washington M*1 — Tomorrow’s
soldier will be a human and a
power plant all wrapped into one.
He will be a “One-Man Tank”
— able to run faster, stop quick
er and lift bigger loads than or
dinary mortals. What’s more, he
will be immune to germ warfare,
poison gas and the heat and ra
diation from nuclear blasts.
Such a soldier is not the dream
of a scinece fiction writer. The
Pentagon thinks the idea is feasi
ble and wants civilian inventors
to come up with some ideas on
how to make him become a re
ality.
Here’s how the Petagon ex
pects to make him come true:
Called the “Servo-Soldier,” this
future GI will wear a special suit
that will have its own engine,
giving him the extra power. He
will be aided by a servo-motor,
or auxiliary power plant.
The mechanical type suit will
provide “a self-contained power
source, automatically controlled
and guided by the natural re
sponses and senses of the wear
er.”
As the soldier moves his hands,
arms, legs and feet, the power
mechanism would be automati
cally activated to multiple his
strength in much the same man
ner as vehicle power brakes and
power steering mechanisms re
spond to foot pedal and steering
wheel movements.
In combat “the mechanism
would be designed to convert each
soldier into a fast-moving and
highly mobile one-man tank.”
