'Honor Burial' for
Battleship Requested
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) today
urged that the battleship Ore
gon, veteran of the Spanish
American war, be given a proper
military burial "with all possible
honors."
The ship, stripped of all fit
tings, was used as a breakwater
at Guam during the war and is
still at the Pacific island. Nor
blad said the cost of towing the
hull to Portland had been ex
plored and found prohibitive,
and its value for scrap was "ques
tionable." The Oregon Republican, in a
letter to Rear Admiral W. D.
Legett, Chief of the Navy's Bur
eau of Ships in Washington,
urged that the Admiral take ap
propriate action and arrange for
the Oregon's burial, "with ap
propriate patriotic ceremonies."
