Matthew C. McKeon owed "no apology to anyone" (or lead ing bix Marine recruits to death la a marsh, Defense attorney Kmile Zola Berman of New York City held that if any apology la due it "should not be made by McKeon." Berman has contended ill along that the training methods used by McKeon, a 31-year-old former drill instructor, were customary to the corps. i . McKeon is taring a general court-martial as a result of the night march in which he led 74 "boots," as they are called, into the savanna grass and mud bor- 1.

Tale, Marine commandant, has said that "in a moral sense, the whole Marine Corps is on trial as to its respon sibility." The Worcester, Mass., sergeant pleaded Innocent yesterday to charges of involuntary manslaugh ter and oppression of recruits. No plea was entered to the charges that on that fateful day McKeon bad been drinking in bar racks and in the presence of a recruit. - 1 Under regulations laid down in the uniform code of military jus tice, a mute pleading is interpre ted as a plea of not -guilty. Both the defense and the prmi ecution headed by Maj. Charles B. Sevier of Jacksonville, III., made opening statements today and then got down to the business of hearing witnesses and introducing testimony. Vlalts Scene Wednesday afternoon, the court went to the scene of the tragedy. For McKeon it was his first time back in the area by the rifle range since the court of inquiry was convened which leveled the charges against him. Under rules of the court, the court-martial board headed by Col. Edward L. Hutchinson could only view the area. No testimony could be given. Sevier, stocky and businesslike, was straight to the point. He said simply he intended to prove the charges and "the presentation of evidence will be lengthy," Training Cited The defense attorney, tall, thin and balding, told of the events of that 'rape night and in remark ing on the training, methods em ployed by McKeon said: "We shall prove that It is the mission of this command to pro duce Marines , . . and that the methods employed to accomplish ; this were part and parcel, the warp and woof of the methods by which this corps has made its wonderful traditions. These meth ods require no apology r If there are those who think o, the anol ogy should not be made by 'Mc-4 Neon. ' Berman aUo said the defense hoped to show that "in terms of the Marine Corps the platoon was not sharp, was not disciplined." "It was," Berman continued, "a herd. Who was the platoon? It was the usual amalgam of young iaas irpm ail walks ot tile; a ' mass to whom the drill instructor was devoted. It was indeed his duty to -make them independent Marines."

British discovered output of rubber in Malays to compete with synthetic.' The discovery, made by the Rub ber Research Institute, could mean an increase of more than l.ooo.OflO.noo pounds of rubber a year from both estates and small holdings. After more than two years re search on the project, the scien tists have found' the new method particularly applicable to trees of more than 20 years. The Malayan government at present is spending millions in gel ting rid of old rubber in a gigantic replanning scheme to compete with synthetic. Now, old trees can be made lu produce latex simply by the appli- ot hormones every six month on the outer hark.
