(Commander Bans
Sale of Magazine
On Marine Base
CAMP LEJEUNE, N. C. —
The commander of this big
Marine base has banned the sale
on the base of a magazine con
taining an article which tries to
debunk Marine legends.
Maj. Gen. Robert B. Luckey
says the article entitled “Harry
Truman was right when he slam
med the Marines” in the March
issue of Cavalier magazine is det
rimental to the morale and tra
ditions of the Corps.
The author, retired Marine Brig.
Gen. William B. McKean, tries
to establish that the Marines did
not play vital roles in such leg
endary places as the “Shores of
Tripoli” and the “Halls of Monte
uma,” as the Marine hymn has
it.
The public information office
here said the general took the
action on his own initiative. As
far as it knew, no other base has
banned the magazine. Pentagon
sources have previously indicated
they contemplated no ban.
In the article, McKean cites
Truman’s reply on Aug. 29, 1950,
to Congressman Gordon McDon
ough, who had written urging
that Marine Corps have its own
representative on the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
Truman answered:
“I read with a lot of interest
your letter in regard to the Marine
Corps. For your information, the
Marine Corps is the Navy’s police
force and as long as I am Presi
dent that is what it will remain.
They have a propaganda machine
that is almost equal to Stalin’s.”
Resentment boiled up against
Truman and he later apologized
for what was described as his un
fortunate choice of language.
Half of all U. S. men are theo
retically overweight. But don’t
laugh ladies, by medical stand
ards, three-fourths of you pack
too much poundage.

Bartlett Will Press for
Action cm Gas Usage
For Earrow Residents
By Fritz Witti
Associated Press Special Service
WASHINGTON UP) — Sen. E. L.
Bartlett said today he will con
tinue to press for action to allow
civilian residents of Barrow,
Alaska, to use gas from govern
ment reserves for heating.
“It is ridiculous for these people
to be forced to pay more than $50
a ton for coal or gather drift
wood for heat when this bounty
is so near by,” Bartlett said.
Residents of the northern vil
lage are annually hard-pressed for
fuel and have been unsuccessful
in efforts to obtain gas from near
by Naval Petroleum Reserve No.
4.
Bartlett said it appears natural |
gas, now used for federal pur- j
poses at Barrow, cannot be made I
available to other residents of the
village through administrative ac
tion of terms in the order cre
ating the reserve.
He is now preparing a new ver- I
sion of a bill, on which there was
no action at the last session, that
would put the Naval reserve under
jurisdiction of the Interior De
partment. The bill will also con
tain a provision making gas avail
able to Barrow residents.
Rep. Ralph Rivers has re-in
troduced a bill to transfer the re
serve to the Interior Department.
It is similar to one he intro
duced last year which was not
acted upon.
RIVER FLOWS BACKWARD
KANSAS CITY, Mo. UP) — The
Kansas River flowed backward
Sunday.
Massive ice jams moved down
the Missouri River and rammed
into the mouth of the Kansas,
blocking its flow into the Mis
souri.
Startled observers saw two 50
ton construction barges break
loose in the Kansas River and
float upstream.
BUILDINGS COLLAPSE FROM
THE WEIGHT OF SNOW
SOMERSET, Pa. UP) — An un
occupied building owned by the
Church of God collapsed under
the weight of 30 inches of snow
in this south central Pennsyl
vania town. Only a corner of the
structure remained standing.
Sunday night a two-story girls’
dormitory, also owned by the
Church of God and unoccupied,
caved in under another 30 inches
of snow on the roof. Two sides
were left standing.
EGAN SIGNS FIRST BILL OF
THE 1961 LEGISLATURE
JUNEAU UP) — Gov. Egan today
signed into law the first bill of
the 1961 Legislature.
The measure, House Bill No.
29, transfers the registration of
corporations and the collection of
the corporation franchise taxes
from the Department of Revenue
to the Department of Commerce.
With the governor’s signature,
the measure now becomes Chap
ter 1 of the Session Laws of 1961.

DEAL WITH CONFIDENCE AT
Green’s City Fuel and Transier
New \ ork Negro
Be(*omes Nation's
lie msiii" Chief
WASHINGTON — Robert C.
Weaver, 53, New York Negro, be
came the nation’s housing chief
as President Kennedy declared:
“I have the highest confidence in
Mr. Weaver’s loyalty, integrity
and ability.”
Weaver was confirmed by the
Senate on Thursday despite the
opposition of southern senators.
They said they opposed Weaver
because of his views favoring in
tegrated housing and his past as
sociation with allegedly left-wing
organizations.
As administrator of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency, Wea
ver has the highest post ever he’d
by a Negro in the executive
branch of the government.
The swearing-in took place in
the President’s office.
For some reason not immed;ate
ly explained, newsmen who had
expected to view the swearing
in were not admitted. From t.iose
present, however, an account of
Kennedy’s statement made for the
newsreels was obtained.
Nuclear Fallout Shelters
Being Built in California
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. UPt—
A builder who is selling homes
equipped with nuclear fallout
shelters says: “I’m not running
scared. I’m sure a lot of people
are not afraid. But who expected
the bomb, to drop at Hiroshima?”
The homes, in the $17,000-$18,
000 and $30,000 classes, are in a
new development an hour’s drive
north of Los Angeles.
Builder Lou Towne says he be
lieves it is the first time an entire
development is being equipped
with shelters.
The 10x10-foot shelter, located
under the garage, costs about
$1.300—and is not optional. Walls
are of 61-inch concrete blocks and
the ceiling has concrete about 6
inches thick, plus 19 inches of
dirt.
Marilyn Monroe Enters
Another Hospital for
A Rest and Checkup
NEW YORK UPi — Actress
Marilyn Monroe, reported emo
tionally upset, has been dis
charged from one hospital and
admitted to another.
The blonde movie star has en
tered Presbyterian Hospital “for
a rest and checkup at her re
quest,” the hospital said.
She had been discharged Friday
from the Payne Whitney Psychia
tric Clinic at New York Hospital
which she entered last Tuesday.
Miss Monroe reportedly has
been emotionally disturbed over
her recent divorce from play
wright Arthur Miller and the sud
den death of Clark Gable, her
co-star in her newest film, “The
Misfits.”
A spokesman at Presbyterian
said: “Marilyn Monroe has been
admitted during the past 24 hours
to Presbyterian Hospital for a
rest and checkup at her request.”

Flags Flown Over the U. S. Capitol
Turns Into a Growing Business
WASHINGTON UP — What i
started out as a real small deal
is growing into a big business in
the capital — and a bigger head
ache for congi'essmen.
It’s the practice of making avail
able to whoever asks for a U. S.
flag that has flown over the Capi
tol. At the latest count almost
40,000 people have asked.
That goes back to 1937 but the j
date is misleading, because from
1937 to 1953 only about 100 re
quests for flags were received
each year. Then word really be
gan to get around that such flags
were available and the boom was
on.
The number of flags dispatched
to constituents by congressmen
rose to 450 in 1954, to 1,800 in
1955, 2,800 in 1956 and 4,000 in
1957.
But it was the admission of two
new states and the adoption of
two new flags that really started
the halyards smoking on the capi
tol flagpoles.
In 1959 when Alaska entered
the union and the 49-star flag
was adopted, 8,683 flags were
flown especially for members of
Congress, nearly half of them on
July 4.
And last year, when Hawaii
made it 50 stars, 13,870 flags flut
tered briefly over the capitol be
fore being sent to gladden the
hearts of some constituents —
FORD WINS RECOGNITION
AT GENERAL MOTORS
FLINT, Mich. UP — Henry Ford
has won recognition for advanc
ing production techniques at Gen
eral Motors Corp.
Ford received $42.36 from GM
Friday for a brake drum weld
ing method he had suggested. He
has worked at GM’s Buick
foundry since 1943.
5,131 of them on the single day
of July 4.
Normally one flagpole atop the
west portico of the capitol is used
to qualify the flags as genuine
articles. They remain aloft one
full minute before being hauled
down.
But on special days such as
July 4 and Flag Day four addi
tional flagpoles are set up and
crews run the flags up and down
as fast as they can.
Until the practice reached such
large proportions, the members of
Congress to whom the request was
sent stood the expense of the
flag — $3.50 for a 3x5 foot flag
and $6.50 for a 5x8 size, if pur
chased through the Senate; slight
ly less in the House.
But now, in many cases, the per
son or organization wanting the
flag is asked to pay for it.
Most flags are requested for
Boy Scout troops, veterans or
ganizations, civic clubs and local
public buildings, although many
individuals write in for one for
themselves.
With each one goes a letter from
the capitol architect certifying
that it has flown over the capitol
— but not saying for how long.
