(U.P) National attention will focus next week on this famed U.S. Marine Corps boot training camp where a 31-year-old sergeant and, according to its commandant, the entire Marine Corps will be on trial for the tragedy of Ribbon Creek. S-Sgt. Matthew C. McKeon, the junior drill instructor who marched a platoon of recruits into a marshy tidal creek as a disciplinary measure, goes to trial by general court martial Monday. Six Recruits Drowned Six of the recruits were drowned in a general panic as the platoon veered into deep water on the moonless, windy night of last April 8. McKeon, a native of Worcester, Mass., and a veteran of eight years in the Marines, is charged with man slaughter. If convicted, he could get a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and dishonorable discharge. Defending him will be a staff of four, headed by Emile Zola Berman, who is generally recog nized to be one of the best trial attorneys in New York. Berman, who is servii. without fee, was selected by a committee orga nized by New York Supreme Court Justice James B. M. Mc- Nally to see that McKeon gets a fair trial. National Debate The tragic march touched off a national debate as to whether the peacetime training methods of the proud and combat-proven Marine Corps have been too rigorous. Gen. Randolph McCall Pate, the Marine Corps comman dant, stepped forthrightedly into the controversy and said: "The Marine Corps system of recruit training has been drawn into question. In a very real sense the Marine Corps is on trial for the tragedy of Ribbon Creek just as surely as is Sergeant McKeon."

By john Mcdonald United Press Sports Writer The Los Angeles Angels' mighty musclemen swaggered home today for a crucial series with Seattle after pounding their way back into first place with a crushing 19-4 victory over the demoralized Portland Beavers. With a smashing display of power the Angels blasted out 26 hits Thursday night, scoring 12 times in the first inning and kept blazing away for then- eventual margin. Everybody hit for the Angels. but third sacker George Freese did the most damage with three for five including a three run homer and a double for eight runs batted in. For the Angels, it seemed to be a question of keeping their players in single file as they trooped across home plate so the scorekeeper could keep track of them after he ran out of fingers. Dizzy Succession A dizzy succession of 12 hits for the Angels brought out three Beaver pitchers in the first in a vain effort to stem the tide Bob Darnell, Dick Fiedler, and Darrell Martin, in that order. threw everything they had at the visitors, but their teammates were unable to back them up and the Angels got some of their first-inning 12 on two Bevo er rors.

Russ Kemmerer set down Sacramento on six hits as San Francisco took the rubber game of their three game set with the Solons 4-2. Mighty Steve Bilko smashed out four hits in five trips in the Angel win. Even fastball pitch er Dick Drott chipped with four for five including a third inning two run homer. Crushing Setback It was a. crushing setback for Bui Sweeney, new Beaver man ager, who took over the reins on Thursday night.
