McKeon, has received a big reduction in his "death march" court "mai'tial sentence, including a chance to stay in the Marine Corps. Navy Secretary Charles S. Thomas late Friday overruled a bad conduct discharge that a court martial board handed the 27-year old drill sergeant for the march that killed six recruits. Thomas decreed that McKeon be broken to private but reduc ed his hard-labor sentence from Census of School Children Scheduled The annual school census will begin in about 10 days in Med ford school district, 549C, El liott D. Becken, assistant super intendent, said Saturday. Enumerators will travel from door to door within the district obtaining data on youngsters between the ages of 4 and 19.

Any youth between the ages of 4 and 19. whose parents live within the district, will be in cluded in the census. This is true recardless of whether or not he is attending school, liv ing elsewhere or is serving in the armed forces, Becken stat ed. Though it is not required that youngsters under four years of ase be listed, Becken said the district is considering obtaining their names and ages during the survey.

He also abolished a S30 monthly pay for feiture, saying the reduction in rait would incur, a greater pay loss than this. Thomas said he believes the "real punishment" will be the "memory of those youngsters" who drowned in a night march into a tidal creek last April 8. Worst Part McKeon said the worst part of the sentence' given him after a long court martial trial last July and August was that it made it impossible for him to continue his Marine Corps ca reer. McKeon told newsmen who contacted him after the Navy secretary's action was announ ced in Washington that he had already been forewarned by his attorney, Emile Zola Berman, to make no statement. When the reporters contact ed Berman. in New York by telephone he gave them per mission to interview McKean but by then the sergeant had gone to the home of a Navy chaplain, Comrir. Maurus Cook. Cook, Roman Catholic chap lain, of the Parris Island Mar ine Corps base, refused to per mit an interview because, he said, Berman had not told him of having rescinded his "no in terview" request. McKeon, since the court mar tial verdict, has been living un der a restriction which permit ted him to continue living at his home at Port Royai.

Charges Election Campaign Swings Into Final Month; VP's Busy Stevenson Gives Talk In Springfield, Mass Washington (U.PJ Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stevennson traded sharp new charges Saturday as the presi dential election campaign roar ed into its final month. President Eisenhower, in a statement issued from the White House, accused his Democratic rival of. jeopardizing national security with "loose talk" about ending the draft.

The vice presidential candi dates also were busy. Vice pres ident Richard M. Nixon confer red with Mr. Eisenhower at the White House about a 14-state campaign swing Nixon will be gin next week. Sen. Estes Kefauver, the Dem ocratic vice presidential candi date, spent Saturday campaign ing ' throuah drought-stricken Oklahoma. He then headed CUt'lP to Washington "very much en couraged" by his week - long swing through six states of the west and southwest. Mr. Eisenhower said Steven son's expressed hope that tha draft can be ended soon showed "either ignorance of our mili tary needs or a willingness to take a chance with our nation'l security." He -said a "constant" effort is being made to cut military manpower without "damaging the nation's security." In Springfield,- Stevenson . hammered at Republicans as the "party of bigness" and charged that Americans are being led by the GOP into a "new age of industrial feudalism." "The Republican managers see America as a big, well-oiled company, controlled by the men who, because they run the big corporations, ought to run the country, too," the former Il linois governor said. - Lions Club Soliciting Bloodmobile Donors The Medford Lions club is co operating with the Red Cross office here to secure donors for the visit of the Bloodmobile in the county Tuesday and Wed nesdaythis week.
