Tears for Policemen . . .
ANAHEIM, Calif. UP) — Forty
policemen were brought to tears
in a series of mishaps during a
tear gas weapons practice session.
One student fired a gas bullet
into a demonstration house filled
with other pupils. Another gassed
his fellows when he dropped a
projectile outside the house.
The sergeant demonstrating the
effectiveness of a gas mask was
overcome when he couldn’t get it
to work.
A patrolman tried to extinguish
a fuming gas grenade by tossing
it into a puddle of water. It boiled
up more violently.
The demonstration house caught
fire from a misfired shell.
And two gas masks were dam
aged when another officer tried
to skip a projectile off the
ground. It landed in the gas mask
box.
The instructor called the class
a success. He said the officers
learned what tear gas weapons
could do.
It wasn’t as bad as two years
ago, he said, when Police Chief
Mark Stephenson was shot in the
face with a gas grenade fired
from 10 feet away.

Historian Says
JFK’s Brother Joe
Could Have Been
President by Now
BOSTON (#> — Had Joseph
Kennedy Jr. returned from the
wars he would be President of
the United States today, in the
opinion of the Navy’s historian,
Rear Adm. Samuel Elliot Morison
(ret.).
The admiral said in an inter
view why he believes Joseph P.
would have been just as strong
a Presidential candidate as his
brother, President Kennedy, per
haps stronger.
“Joe was two years older than
Jack,” said Morison, “and some
had opposed Jack because of his
youth.
“Joe had every bit as much
ability and he had been propped
by his father to take over the
political helm for the family.
“He got along well with people,
was very popular at Harvard and
a member of several clubs, in
cluding Hasty Pudding.
“Joe’s war record would have
suffered nothing by comparison
with that of younger brother
Jack.”
Morison’s interview hinged on
an article he has written for
Look magazine, “Death of a
Kennedy.”
xn li uc tens ail mat may ever
be known of the circumstances
attending Kennedy’s death. Ken
nedy, 29, died Aug. 12, 1944, in
a voluntary mission. He and an
other volunteer, Wilford Willy,
took aloft a tired old Navy Liber
ator bomber burdened with nearly
10 tons of high explosives.
The Liberator “Drone” had an
electronic control system for
operation by two following planes
Kennedy and Willy were to bail
out over England as the guide
planes took over, Just short of
that the Liberator vanished in
such a stupendous blast nothing
large enough to pick up was re
covered.
The intended target was Helgo
land, site of German submarine
pens and a V-2 missile base.
The two volunteers were lieu
tenants at the time. Willy, of
Newark, N.J., was married and
six years older than Kennedy, but
because of Kennedy’s long ex
perience in Liberators, he was
given command.
Kennedy and Willy were award
ed the Navy Cross posthumously.
The Navy named a destroyer for
Kennedy. Robert F. Kennedy,
now Attorney General, was a
member of her crew.
Remember the Good Samaritan
of Biblical feme? He hasn’t done
so well in terms of posterity.
Only 845 Samaritans now live in
the Holy Land.

GOP Committee
Criticises Bobby
WASHINGTON OP) — The Re
publican National Committee said
Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy’s re
marks about the Mexican War
were “another startling example
of the Kennedy Administration’s
ominous obsession with catering
to “neutralist opinion.”
The GOP committee expressed
this view in its publication “Bat
tle Line” under the headline:
“Bobby Doesn’t Remember the
Alamo.”
Kennedy, now touring the Far
East, told an Indonesian student
the U.S.-Mexican War of 1846-48
was not a very bright page in
American history and that he
say the war was unjustified.
The remark has stirred up a
discussion pro and con, with some
historians saying that Kennedy’s
position is tenable but not now
generally accepted. Texans have
reacted generally with cries of
rebuttal.

/Helicopter Mail Run
Is Being Considered
For Seward-Nikolski Area
By Fritz Witti
Associated Press Special Service
WASHINGTON UP) — The Post
Department is considering heli
copter instead of mailboat serv
ice on the remote Seward-Nikolski
mail run in Alaska.
William J. Hartigan, Assistant
Postmaster General, discussed
possible elimination of the mail
boat at a closed hearing held by
a House Appropriations Subcom
mittee. The testimony was made
public Saturday.
There was considerable con
troversy last summer over a de
partment decision to renew the
contract with the Aleutian Ma
rine Transport Co. by negotiation
rather than through competitive
bidding.
The renewal last July, for 22
months at an annual rate of
$190,400 was opposed by Rep.
Thomas Pelly, (iR-Wn.), and was
endorsed by the Alaska congres
sional delegation.
Hartigan told the committee
that because so few people are
served on the run that “it pos
sibly is a case where helicopter
service could deliver it much
cheaper and eliminate the use of
the boat entirely.”
