Legion Stages Huge Parade
In Philadelphia Streets
Philadelphia, Aug. 30 VP) A gay task force of gaudily-dressed
American Legionnaires began a 12-hour parade maneuver today
to capture Philadelphia.
Drums rolled, bugles blared. Strutting girls In pretty costumes
twirled batons. Martial tunes filled the air. So did confetti and
ticker tape and the cheering
applause ot a million Philadel
phians and visitors.
The Quaker city surrendered
happily to the invasion the Le
gion's 31st annual convention
parade. . 1
- Hours before the march began
crowds, gathered along the five-
mile route. The sun shone
brightly in the cloudless sky.
U. S. military and naval units
led off the march directly behind
the Legion's parade marshals.
The crack 116-man army band
moved like a precision machine
up Broad street to City Hall and
the reviewing stand.
,. Paratroopers, Wacs,' marines,
. sailors and. national .guardsmen
stepped in unison to the martial
music.
The massed colors of the 48
states, the District of Columbia:
Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands and the Pana
ma Canal zone were carried by
a battalion of military police
men.
Before the parade ends, about
midnight, more than 30,000 per
sons and some 160 drum and bu
gle corps will have filed past
the reviewing stand.
Marchers from Minnesota wore
Indian costumes, complete with
feathered headdress.
Legion departments proud of
their state's history, displayed
their favorite symbols sage
brush from Nevada; Iowa corn;
a Santa Claus from Santa Claus.
Ind.; "rebel yells" and beauti
ful girls from Mississippi, and
Texas sombreros.
Legionnaires boast there's no
bigger parade anywhere else in
the world. .
It snarled downtown traffic
to a standstill.
The parade is the sole official
Legion activity on this second
day of the convention.
It was like New Year's
Times Square last night.

Jef Fighter
Ejects Pilot
March Air Base, Calif., Aug.
30 An air force pilot was
thrown clear of his spinning .let
fighter and parachuted to safety
in what is believed the first
combat-condition use of an F-86
jet plane automatic ejection- device.
Second Lt. Robert E. Farley,
25, of Selah, Wash., told officers
at this base that his plane de
veloped trouble yesterday in a
vertical dive. The cockpit ejec
tion mechanism hurled him free
of the ship. He pulled his rip
cord only 1,000 feet from
ground, receiving only deep feet
and face cuts. .
Farley was stranded on top of
a 3,200 peak in the San Ber
nardino mountains, 21 miles east
of Palm Springs. He made a tent
of the parachute to protect him
from the 115 degree desert heat
and was later rescued by an air
force helicopter.
His plane, which he was fly
ing on an instrument training
flight, disintegrated in the air.

Cupid and the Possum This
possum isn't trying to look
cute atop the statue, he's just
plumb tired of all the water
and wind which swept Miami,
