Matthew McKeon accused of leading six recruits to their death In a swamp, Tuesday entered a plea of innocent for the sergeant before a General Court Martial board. While Berman was entering his plea, McKeon stood at rigid at tention, his eyes focused on the floor. His wife, Elizabeth, was not in the courtroom at the time. Bermaa has said previously that bis defense will rest chiefly on the contention that McKeon, re gardless of Marine orders, was acting in accordance with accept ed training methods at this 4,000- cre recruit depot. The trial of the Worcester, Mass., Marine promises to be a long one .lasting two or more weeks and one which will see previous Marine training methods thoroughly explored. Appeal Issned .

Becker was a crewman aboard a B2 that went down June 13, 1932. over the Sea of Japan near the Kamchatka area of Soviet Siberia. The U.S. government said Mon day it was "compelled to believe reports that some of the crew members from the B2I and a U.S. Navy Privateer that went down in 1950 were being held by the Soviets. Becker, who would now be 14. was born in Tillamook and at tended schools here. He left to loin the Air Force in November, 1950.

Met Resistance The street naming plan Lowry referred to has been considered frequently by Planning Commis sion members over the years, but usually has met strong resist anre from the public. City En gineer J. H. Davis recalled the Inst comprehensive street name plan of seversl years ago when a long study produced some 20 recommended street name Chan- gea, only two of which were ac tually adopted "because nobody lived on those streets. - The revision plsn would be aimed at eliminating duplicate street nsmes or near-duplicates, and would eliminate conflicting names where one continuous street may have two or more mimes in different sections. Lowry said the renaming would have to be done sometime, and if it isn't done when a num bering system is adopted, the expense of changes would be doubled for householders affect ed, businesses with machine ad dressing facilities and others. Cempioa Disagrees V Commissioner Stuart Compton said be disagreed in tbst the naming plan might Jeopardise the passage of a numbering sys tem. Commissioners In other bus! ness recommended that the City Council proceed with planning for eventual opening of sections of Hines Street so it would be come a through arterial from 12th to Mission Streets in South Salem. City Engineer Davis reported that full opening of the route would require 60-foot right of way to be obtained along a 815- foot stretch of Leo Childs and Duane Gibson property (the for mer public housing colony) and lW-Ioot stretch of Joe Bello property east of that .

Planners arrivtd at no recom mendation on the subject but continued the hearing until Aug. 21. They indicated they wanted to have some plan worked out" by property owners Childs and Gibson to inform the commission ers of intended use of balance for the former housing site and what arrangements would be made for streets in the area. On three petitions for variance permits, the commission allowed Free Methodist Church to en Urge the church at Winter and Market Streets with less setback than normal; tabled the request of Christian and Missionary Al 11a rce Church for permit to re move old church and build new one at Sth and Gaines Streets, because the property Is in a busi ness tone - that now prevents church construction; denied per mit for Glen L. Clark to add a room to his house at 1055 Ox ford St within five feet of rear lot line.
