Washington, Feb. 8 U.R)
Rep. Marion T. Bennett, R., Mo.,
today criticized the "reckless
abandon" with which the Pur
ple Heart medal has been dis
tributed in this war and intro
duced legislation which would
limit the award to armed forces
personnel wounded by enemy
action.
"I have been shocked to find
that the Military Order of the
Purple Heart . . . has been dis
tributed with such reckless
abandon in this war that dogs
and blues singers are receiving j
it, he said in an address pre
pared for delivery on the house
floor. -
The medal created by Gen.
George Washington, be re
called, for award to military
personnel "for unusual gallant
ry and singularly meritorious
acts of extraordinary fidelity
and essential service."
That distinction is not borne,
he contended by Singer Jane
Froman, who received the med
al after being injured in an air
plane crash in .Lisbon after en
tertaining troops abroad, nor
by the dog "Cljips," which he
said received the award in
Sicily. .
