Register-Guard, Euguiie, Ore., Page 1 0 Mon., Apr. 21, 1952 Veteran Bugle Lost in Transit Battered Trumpet Was in Sea Bag WASHINGTON (U.PJ A 52-year-old veteran of two Marine Corps military campaigns Is missing- . . . "Old Trumpet," a battered bugle that served with honor in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900 and her alded more than a year of Korean combat, has been lost. The instrument was retired to showcase in the Marine Band Mu seum after the Boxer insurrection in-China. The old-type service bfjgle gained historical signifi cance there when it sounded the Marines' relief of Tientsin. THE BUGLE was brought out otretirement in July, 1950, after th outbreak of hostilities in Ko rtfff. Marine Corps officials an nounced that it would be given to any trumpeter going to that the ater of operations. &f the 62 replies received in the first week from individuals 'and organizations, "Old Trumpet" was av&rded to Cpl. Charles Price of Chattanooga, Tenn., of the First Marine Division Band. In Korea, Price sounded colors on it when the flag was raised at the division command post in northern Korea and played taps at cemetery dedi cation ceremonies in that sector. "Old Trumpet" was there when tlv First Marine Division fought Its way out to the sea from the Chosen Reservoir and later sur vived a bad fire after the Hung nam evacuation. PRICE, NOW a sergeant, care- fully packed the instrument In his teabag when he was rotated to the United States in the fall of 1951. The bugle disappeared during transportation to this country. The Marine Corps attributes its loss to at least six other Marines named Charles Price.. The band member named Charles Price re- ceived the wrong seabag when landing in this country and has not yet located his own. : SiTl Ways to Unite World Debated What's the best way to unite the world?

In some districts Veteran Offers To Make Deal NEW YORK (IP) A discharged front-lino veteran of Korea said Sunday he wants to make a deal with Uncle Sam. "I'm no hero," said the veteran, Dominlck Prianti, Jr., 23. "1 hated the Army." But he'll go back into the Army, Prianti said, if the government does not draft his cousin, Dominic Prianti, 20. "My uncle and aunt are broken people," said the veteran. "Three of their boys died in the last war and another was badly shot up, Only one out of the five got put unhurt. "And now the government wants to draft the sixth son, Dominic." Dominlck added: "If they take him, my aunt and Uncle will die of broken hearts." Dominick, who was discharged while hospitalized for jaundice contracted in Korea, said he will present his offer to the govern ment formally, probably in a let' ter to President Truman. just roaming about the premises, He claims the animals are abus ing property, the complainants are bothering him, Constable El mer Kent is running himself rag ged catching the critters and when they are caught, the county loses money on them before they can be disposed of. "We're going to have a show down!" Wells asserts. Although Wells doesn't like to hear of any stray animal and strongly recommends a uniform herd law to keep animals fenced in, it's the recollection of the anti social behavior of an Impounded stallion that still rankles him. "FENCES DIDN'T mean a darn thing to that animal," he exclaims, "ov walls either." According to Wells, the horse, when- at large, walked through fences, and tram pled produce. He once bred farmer's thoroughbred Palomino. "And you had to be careful of him," Wells asserts. "If he ever got hold of you, well, you just had to take what was' coming." Wells said the stud three times broke out of the barn he was quartered In. "And once he took a whole section of the wall," he stated, "twenty-two feet long and eight feet high. Had that thing hanging on his neck, and was chasing other horses." Even in death the critter man aged to be a headache to Wells, He was finally sold to a butcher, but, "He cost us about $16 any- range law prevails and property owners must erect fences to keep animals out. In other areas, graz ing districts have been formed and stock owners must fence their animals in In areas such as around Cottage Grove, where range law is in ef fect, the damaged householders' only recourse to law is to sign a complaint. Then the local magis trate can order the animal im pounded and the owner may be prosecuted for "willfully permit ting livestock to run at large."

Ellsworth Tilton will offi ciate with cremation following at Rest Haven Memorial Cremator- day seminar sponsored by the United World Federalists. Speakers were Roy McCall, head of the University of Oregon speech department; Edna Land ros, language professor at the Uni versity: Neil Potter, northwest field worker for UWF, and Emer- Thatcher, Washington State president of the World Federalists. Ray Siegenthaler moderated the forum. Though the plans of United World Federalism and Atlantic Union were both put forward, the speakers agreed on more points than they disputed. ALL OF THEM called upon America to exercise its leadership in bringing the world closer to gether and all agreed that weak ness and appeasement were not the roads to travel upon. Dr. McCall, stating the case of world government in general, urged that America become stronger than all the rest of the world together if possible, then use its commanding position to bring the world together under a democratic federation. Disarm ament, he said, would only "place the well-intentioned and gullible at the mercy of the vicious." Dr. Landros, an Atlantic Union supporters, urged the federation of democracies as the starting point toward world government, Her plan would bind the democ racies more tightly than they are under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as it would create a sovereign unit of government. A COMMON defense, a unified foreign policy, and later a com mon currency and the abolition of tariffs "an awful thing to say in Oregon," Dr. Landros commented would be the aims of such a federation, she called for Con gressional resolution asking the President to invite representatives of the democracies to meet and discuss how far their governments would go toward federation. "Now is the time to start," Dr. Landros asserted. "We can't wait until all the nations are ready." Potter, a former Washington State College professor and now a fulr time UWF worker, said that both American free enterprise and individual freedom are in danger unless a workable system of world government is found. An enforceable agreement with Russia he termed vital to an end to the cold war. To this end, he Tackle Box Thief May Be Surprised Someone who may have want ed to go fishing badly enough to steal, Sunday took a fishing tackle box from a ear owned by Robert Slaughter, 2275 Pierce St. Actually, Eugene police were told, the box might have been taken prior to Sunday's open ing of the fishing season. But, in any event, the thelf probably was surprised. Instead of containing fishing gear, the box held about 550 worth of miscellaneous tools. continued, all the world's nations should be invited to enter system of government with the power to disarm , both sides. If Russia .rejected the invitation then we should go ahead with as many nations as accept, Potter said. He stressed the "moral and propaganda" value of this policy to the U. S, THATCHER called upon Amer ica to exercise its "moral lead ersnip u we are to make our mantle of economic and power leadership well-fitting." He urged his listeners to use their "wis dom, courage and faith" to create "a single mind for the idea that win solve the problem of our time."
