The President received an hon orary Onctor of Laws degree from American university here Sunday night. Mr. Eisenhower then stood in a light rain to turn over the first ' ceremonial spadeful of dirt at the site of a new school of international service. Another White House staff member also received a degree at the ceremonies. Pvt. Glenard Lanier of the White House po lice ended eight years of night school by receiving a Bachelor of Arts in business administra tion. mal which not only gave the lonely man companionship and pleasure, but also, upon occasion, saved his life. But too many mascots one per man would never do on the battlefield. Hence a group often adopted one ''good luck" animal usually gotten through mysterious or dubious circum stances. A good luck mascot, the un written rule says, can never be purchased. It may suddenly ap pear under its own power as I denuded white rooster in North Africa emerged miracul ously from a bomb crater with mot of his feathers blown off, but still spry and cocky even during the two months it took him to grow a new coat. Or, the mascot might be acquired during a raid, via the so-called "moon light requisition" route. During World War II, while a war correspondent, I made it a point to inquire about these "adopted" animals they often furnished me with a "brighten- er" for the day's grim dispatch es I had to send. And these mas cots were many and diverse just about everything that could fly, walk crawl, wriggle, or stag ger. But everyone was consid ered a potent emissary of Lady Luck. A British unit in Libya adopt ed a porcupine only they called It a hedgehog. On Bataan, our men esteemed "Daisy." a deer and although reduced to mule steak sandwiches at one time without benefit of bread and butter, and even then starving, they passed up this dainty piece of venison. In fact, although men were sometimes reduced to star vation diets. I never heard of s good luck mascot being reduced Why Suffer in a "Steamer on Wheels"?

The 69th American armored regiment, appropriate ly, had an armadillo. Black cats were particularly welcome aboard battlewagons and I saw them on the French Rich lieu and our American Missouri. (On our ships that was not easy because animals ere forbid den.) An Aussie regiment prized a magpie. The Coldstream Guards of Canada a white goose. The "Wildcat" division of World War I, activated again in World War II, had a wildcat named Tuffy who saw it through to victory in Japan. Other mascots included par rot, sheep, bear, lion, pig, cow, angora rabbit, chipmunk, beav er, cougar, mule rattlesnake, white mouse, slug and raven. And all kinds and shapes of dogs. I remember a black scotty who logged over 600 flying hours when I last saw him roughly, 100,000 miles in a flying Fort ress. Tradition Goes Back The tradition of battle mas cots goes way back. More than 3.000 years ago, the Pharaoh Rameses had a lion mascot call ed Mighty Repulser. In one in stance, Mighty 'Repulser stood off the Hittite enemy long enough for fresh Egyptian troops to arrive and thereby save the battle. Thereafter Mighty Re pulser became a favorite of Egyptian sculptors. In America, the tradition goes back at least to the War of In dependence. When King George III sent to America his Royal Welsh Fusiliers named for the same group who had the goat in Burma 170 years later to put down the American revolu tionists they brought with them a handsome white billy with a sergeant to lead it, called a "goat major."

Aline Mosby "Wyatt Earp,' Around Hollywood Br ALINE MOSBY Hollywood UP Saddles and six-shooters will blanket tejevi sion next fall when westerns "1 take over the 1 home screens. But towering Jim A r n e s s, whose "G u n smoke" start ed the trend, isn't worried. Since the CBS TV filmed se- O ' B r 1 a n ' s became such suc cesses, TV like the movie in dustry has clamped onto west erns as a surefire way to get audiences. Because show business produc ers and sponsors are traditional ly trend followers, Earp, Matt Dillon and other TV western characters will be joined next fall by the biggest stampede of sagebrush heroes in TV history. Casualties Numerous A record number of television series bit the dust this spring to make way for the downpour of westerns and private eye series next fall. Thirty-four old series nearly double last year's cas ualties were axed, including "Private Sectary," Bengal Lan cers" "Noah's Ark" and "Hiram Holliday." ABC-TV leads the networks with eight oaters scheduled for next fall, followed by NBC and CBS with four apiece. Some of the new western series being filmed for fall release are "Wa gon Train" "Tales of Texas Rang ers" and "Broken Arrow." But Jim Arness, now rambling through his new "Gunsmoke" series before the cameras at Cal ifornia Studio, yawns that the rush to hop on the bandwagon is "flattering" but not harmful to his show. 'All to the Good' "It's all to the good," se said. 'When something catches on, that's it. Everybody goes that way. "But we're not worried about this new competition. From what I know of the new western se ries, I don't think the competi tion will be tough. From the standpoint of quality, nothing can hurt our show." "Gunsmoke" claims to be the original adult western, begin ning with its inception on radio. As Arness points out, "Gun smoke" is so adult, 'We even have a lady of shady virtue as the heroine of the series." Machine Discloses Highway Conditions Albany, N. Y. W People who travel the nearly 450-mile New York state Thruway want information concerning driving conditions. About 23,000 calls are made in Syracuse each week, and another 15.000 or so more are placed in Albany. To handle the huge flood of calls, the State Thruway Author ity has set up automatic answer ing devices. Now a motorist merely dials a number and a tape recording machine gives ac curate, up-to-the-minute condi tions. The tape recordings are chang ed as often as road conditions warrent, and that may be many times a day during bad weather and in winter. The authority emphasized that the information is not a weather forecast, but merely a report on conditions on the Thruway.
