Parris Island, SC. (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."

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.
The Angels crashed into the
league's top spot for the first
time since June 23 as Vancouver
tripped Seattle, 6-2, on a three
hitter by Fred Besana and Bob
Hooper. Hollywood made it five
in a row and a clean sweep of
their series with" San Diego,
downing the Padres 5-4 in 11 in
nings. 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. He squirmed
helplessly as the Beavers suf
fered their sixth straight defeat
and their 10th loss in 12 meet
ings with the Angels.
Vancouver scored three in the
fourth and three more in the
fifth on Kal Segrist's three run
homer to give them all they
needed as the knocked Seattle
out of first place.

Southern Democrats
Seek To Unify Stand
Atlanta (U.R) Southern
Democratic Party chairmen go
into a huddle tonight in an at
tempt to "unify" Dixie's stand on
civil rights and present a united
front at the . convention four
weeks away.
It appeared that at least seven
states would be represented. In
several other states party lead
ers have endorsed the caucus.
The pre-convention caucus
was called by Neville Bennett,
South Carolina party chief, who
said the discussions would be
"informal" and center around
means of preventing a strong
"integration" plank in the na
tional party platform.
But he indicated the party
chiefs would also include every
thing from school segregation to
the "threat" of Japanese textile
goods on Southern mills in their
two days of talks..
Care for a tune on the hydro
daktylopsychicharmonica? That
is one of the names of an 18th
century instrument, played by
rubbing the rims of glasses with
wet fingers. The instrument is
also known as the glasspiel and
harmonica, the National Geo
graphic Society says.
Bop Hooper came in after
sr.arr.er r red Jtsesana had walked
the bases full in the fifth to
strike out Leo Righetti and get
Bobby Balcena on a ground ball
to end the inning. He allowed
one hit the rest of the way a
solo homer to Joe Taylor to
earn his first win of the season.
The Hollywood Stars moved a
game closer to the leaders as
they won their fifth straight
when Ramon Majias slammed a
single to drive in the winning
run in the 11th.
Padres Fail
San Diego had tied the con
test at three each with two runs
in the ninth and then moved out
in front with a single tallv in
the 11th. But the Stars fought
back for two on Carlos Bernier's
triple, a sacrifice fly by Gene
Freese, a walk and Mejias' line
shot.
The Stars moved to within six
games of the Angels as they
swept the three game set witn
the Pads.
Young Frank Malzone enjoyed
his best day at the plate since
coming down from the parent
Boston Red Sox as he drove in
three runs in the Seals win over
Sacramento. Malzone had a per
fect day with three for three,
two of the hits being doubles.
Russ Kemmerer fast balled his
way to his sixth win of the year
and his first triumph in almost
a month.
