Marine Corps Refuses to
Release Colonel’s Article
On the Service’s History
WASHINGTON Ufi — The De
fense Department and the Marine
Corps have refused to release a
Marine colonel’s article on the
service’s history.
A Defense Department spokes
man said the article seemed to
have the effect of charging a
conspiracy existed among several
former officials to kill off the
Marine Corps.
The spokesman said clearance
was refused because the article
appeared to impugn motives of
former Presidents Harry Truman
and Dwight Eisenhower, retired
Army Gen. Omar Bradley, former
Secretary of Defense (Louis
Johnson and the late Adm. Forrest
Sherman, once Chief of Naval
Operations.
The incident comes to light
virtually on the eve of opening
of a Senate inquiry into charges
of muzzling of military officers
by Pentagon officials. A Senate
subcommittee probe is scheduled
to begin this week.
The article was written by Col.
Robert Heinl Jr., now chief of a
U.S. Naval mission in Haiti, for
Intended publication in the month
ly “Proceedings” magazine of the
United States Naval Institute. The
Institute is not an official agency
of the Navy, but its board is

Former Teamster Boss,
Dave Beck, Gets Reversal
Of Tax Evasion Charge
SEATTLE OP — Asserting “I
never took a nickel from anyone
in my life,” former Teamster boss
Dave Beck expressed jubiliation
Saturday as- reversal of his con
viction on income tax evasion
j charges. He said a re-hearing
would be sought on other charges
which the U.S. Circuit Court at
San Francisco upheld.
Beck and his attorney, Charles
Burdell of Seattle, said if a re
hearing is denied on the charge
of aiding in filing of false union
returns there will foe an appeal
to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“There never was any merit in
what the government charged me
with,” Beck said in referring to
the income tax charges.
Asked how he would feel about
a possible retrial on the income
tax charges, Beck commented:
“You never let stuff like that dis
turb you too much.”
Beck said he was sorry his
wife, Dorothy, who died late last
year, could not know of the re
versal in the income tax case.
Beck has been free on bond

The Institute sent the article to
the Pentagon on Sept. 15, the
spokseman said.
Judge Rules a Man’s
Car Is His Castle
LOS ANGELES UPi — A man’s
car is his castle, Judge Joseph
Marchetti ruled Friday.
A policeman, suspecting a
drunken motorist, can’t order a
man to leave his car simply be
cause the man’s face is flushed
or because he’s driving somewhat
erratically, the Judge held.
The Judge, it turned out, had
been through the mill himself.
Marchetti dismissed th$ drunk
en driving case against Walter
Vandepas, 36, of Pacoima.
Motorcycle officer Eugene Long
said he suspected Vandepas was
drunk because the motorist weav
ed over the double line and hesi
tated 10 seconds at a green traffic
light.
Marchetti ruled that was not
sufficient “probable cause” to
order Vandepas out of his car. He
held that Long violated consti
tutional safeguards against illegal
search and seizure.
“Any illegal act by a police of
ficer undermines law enforcement
and. makes convictions in legiti
mate cases difficult,” the Judge
said. ^

Radioactive Material
Is Distinct Hazard to
Manned Space Flight
WASHINGTON UP) — A handful
of radioactive material, weighing
about a pound and scattered over
billions of miles of space, is a
distinct hazard to manned space
flight, scientists say.
They gathered at Goddard Space
Flight Center in nearby Green
belt, Md., to evaluate the radio
activity in formation that satel
lite Explorer III transmitted be
fore suddenly going silent last Dec.
6. The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration reported
on the conference.
The gist of the report:
1. The V$n Allen Radiation Belt,
instead of being two distinct
doughnut-shaped rings encircling
the earth, is one large region with
varying amounts of deadly radia
tion. The belt’s lower limit is 400
miles above the Atlantic Ocean,
and its outer limit fluctuates from
28,000 to 44,000 miles above the
earth.
2. Beyond the belt is an area
of magnetic turbulence about 12,
000 miles wide. After that — in
terplanetary space.
iney said the radiation hazard
to space travel was still as great
as estimated since Dr. Van Allen
first discovered the widespread
area that bears his name.
The greatest amount of deadly
high energy protons is in the
lower regions of the belt, they
said.
Dr. Frank McDonald, cosmic „
ray expert at the Space Agency,
said the belt was something like a
giant garbage heap with the
heavier garbage sinking to the
bottom.
But all the radioactive material,
if it could be concentrated, would
weigh about a pound and could
be held in the palm of one hand,
the scientists said.
Explorer XII, launched last Aug.
15, made 102 round trips through
the radiation area, orbiting be
tween 148 and 48,000 miles above
the earth, before it suddenly
stopped transmitting.
It was Aibraham Lincoln who
observed, "It has been by experi
ence that folks who have no vices
have very few virtues."
