Defense Contends Sgt. McKeon Owes ''No Apology to Anyone'
Sultan Gives Own

By HEM PRICE
TARRIS ISLAND, S C. W The
defense, argued yednesday that
8. Sgt. 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

Marines an Trial . . v
Gen. Randolph C. 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."

The discovery, made by the Rub

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
