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.

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'

He claims the animals are abus

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."

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

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

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
