Norfolk To House
MacArthur Papers
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) General
of the Army Douglas MacArthur
has accepted an invitation from
the city of Norfolk for the estab
lishment of a memorial that will
house his personal papers and war
mementos.
The city hopes to have Mac
Arthur on hand to dedicate the
memorial within nine months to
a year. It plans to spend nearly
a half million dollars for the re
novation of its 111-year-old court
house, soon to be vacated. It also
has tentative plans to landscape
the courthouse block and rename
it "MacArthur Square."
In agreeing to let the site of the
world's largest navy base be the
home for his personal memora
bilia, MacArthur requested that he
and his wife be buried here pre
sumably within the memorial,
which will feature a rotunda domi
nated by a statue of MacArthur
surrounded by his 126 battle flags.
The city's plans were presented
to MacArthur in New York in No
vember by Mayor W. Fred Duck
worth and councilman Roy B. Mar
fin, who cited the Army's most
decorated general's "strong tics"
with the port city.
"These ties included the fact
that his mother was born, reared
and married here, and that he
had become our first honorary citi
zen, that such a memorial would
easily become the city's No. 1 at
traction, and that our centrally lo
cated courthouse soon would be
available," Duckworth said.
MacArthur was presented the
city's first certificate of honorary
citizen when he came here Nov.
38, 1951, for the opening of a me
morial to his mother, the late
Mary Pinckney Hardy MacArthur.
"As a Virginian myself, whose
mother came from a long line of
Virginians and whose mother and
father were married in the present
city of Norfolk," said MacArthur,
"I accept as a great honor the in
vitation of the city to place my
papers, decorations and other me
mentos of my military service in
its perpetual care and keeping."
MacArthur's long - time friend,
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney
(ret.), has offered his services to
the city in assisting with project.'
Whitney is MacArthur's biogra
pher and served as his chief of
staff.

Priest Orders Halt
To Church Raffles
WEST NEW YORK. N. J. (AP)
The pastor of a Roman Catholic
church here says there'll be no
more carnivals, bazaars or rafles
to get funds for parish needs.
Instead, church members will
be asked to donate 10 per cent of
their gross income to the church
and church-approved charities.
the Rev. John F. Weigand said
Monday he was taking the step
to put an' end to the church's
"carnival atmosphere."
The system he outlined which
really isn't new at all goes back
to the early days of the church.
It is called tithing.
In New York City.a spokesman
for the Jesuit weekly magazine
"America" said the custom of
tithing is virtually unknown to
Catholic parishes in the United
Stales.
But he Said Father Weigand
would be within his rights in spe
cifying to parishioners how to ap
ply the law of the church, which
obligates all Catholics to contrib
ute to church support.
Father Weigand is pastor of St.
Joseph's Church of the Palisades.
The parish contains 7,200 families
and is one of the largest in the
slate.
He said he had been preparing
his parishioners for the new sys
tem for 10 weeks by a series of
pastoral letters and pronounce
ment. The plan, he said, could
not be considered compulsory.
He estimated about half the
lithe would go to support the par
ish and the other half would go
directly to charities.
New Orleans Thief
Sought By Police

lice today sought a little, slender,
gray-haired man of about 50 who
lured six persons to his French
Quarter apartment and robbed
them.
He booby-trapped his victims nv
advertising the apartment for
rent. When prospects telephoned,
he spread appointments over a
period of several hours Monday.
When the apartment hunters
appeared, one or two at a time
he handed them a note which
read, "It's a stickup. Open your
mouth or cause me trouble, and
I shoot you instantly. Obey orders
and you won't get hurt."
In all, the robber got $309 in
cash and a wrist watch valued
at S1KJ, as well as personal pa
pers in the wallets.
The landlady, Maude Jenkins,
who resides in a nearby apart
ment, said the man rented the
fiat Dec. 11 and paid her $65 rent

reservoir of built-in support among
GOP Senate and House members
elected this year.
Nixon's associates say the vice
president carried 228 congressional
districts to Kennedy's 206 with in
dependent electors winning 3 in
Mississippi.
As of now, Nixon prefers cam
paigning for a Republican Con
gress to getting into the race for
governor of California. He has not
closed the door on that possibility.
Several factors are involved on
both sides of this unsettled ques
tion. If he runs for governor, a
of his campaigning will have to
be in California and he will lose
contacts with Republicans in other
areas.
If he should run and be defeat
ed, either in the primary or the
general election, his political ca
reer would be over.
If he ran, Democrats would he
certain to say he was seeking the
governorship as a stepping stone
to another presidential race. He
would be questioned repeatedly if
he intended to serve out a four
year term.
On the other hand, there are
some who believe Nixon could be
come the forgotten man by 1964
if Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller is re
elected in New York in 19G2.
These strategists argue that Nix
on will need a position rivaling
Rockefeller's and could get it only
by going after and winning the
California governorship back from
the Democrats.

Ike May Get
As Five-Star General
WASHINGTON (AP) Congres
sional leaders are working quietly
on a plan to restore President Ki
senhower to his five-star general
rank soon after he leaves the White,
House on Jan. 20.
They conceded privately that
some opposition may arise be
cause, as a former president, he
also will be eligible for a S23.0O0
annual pension and office expenses
of up to $50,000. Restored rank
would pay $20,548 a year.
A special act of Congress would
be required to restore the rank be
cause Eisenhower resigned his per
manent five-star commission in
1952 when he was first nominated
bv the Republicans.
Sponsors of the move to restore
the rank point out that there arc
precedents for drawing two gov
ernment retirement awards. Some
civilian government workers have
qualified for retirement after be
coming eligible for military retire
ment pay.
After World War If, Congress ap
proved an act that retained all
h've-star generals and admirals on
active pay and duty as long as they
lived. They also may have two
military aides and office space in
the Pentagon or elsewhere if they
wish.
Eisenhower decided to forfeit
this when he entered the political
arena as a presidential candidate.
