Marines Meet
T.R.’s Challenge
PENSACOLA, Fla. <F — U. S.
Marines are on the march to prove
they are just as fit as the leather
necks of Teddy Roosevelt’s day.
From Florida to Arizona, it was
“pick ’em up and lay ’em down”
for some proud members of a
proud corps who took a suggestion
from President Kennedy as a chal
lengt and set out to meet the
challenge: hike 50 miles in 20
hours, double - time the last half
mile and run the final 200 yards.
The first to report mission ac
complished was Lt. Col. James W.
Tuma, 49, a Marine stationed at
the U.S. Army Electronic Proving
Ground at Ft. Huachuca, near Tuc
son, Ariz.
“I had a notion I could do it,”
he said after stepping off 50 miles
in 13V£ hours Wednesday.
In Pensacola, Marine Sgt. Stan
ton E. Jordan ran the final 200
yards into his barracks before
daybreak, completing a 50 - mile
hike in 17 hours.
Jordan, on his day off, hiked
around a five-mile course at the
naval air station where he is drill
instructor.
“I considered this a personal
challenge,” Jordan, 37, said.
The rules of the hike were set
forth by President Theodore Roo
sevelt in an executive order he
signed in 1908. Gen. David Shoup
ran across the old order and sent
it to President Kennedy as a his
toric curiosity. The President sug
gested a test to see “how well our
present - day officers perform the
task specified by President Roose
velt.”

Senators Resolutely
Defend Resolutions
JUNEAU — Senators today
stood staunchly by one of the
legislature’s favorite pastimes —
passing resolutions.
The talk was touched off by an
editorial in the Daily Alaska Em
pire which referred to the intro
duction of numerous resolutions as
the “annual launching of the
dreamboats.”
The editorial suggested that re
solutions generally were a waste of
time and paper, and, unlike legis
lation, without real force and ef
fect.
Not so, said the senators, as they
unanimously passed a measure
pointing out the need for a branch
post office in the Muldoon Road
Nunaka Valley-DeBarr Vista com
munity near Anchorage.
I used to be a great letter writer
to our congressional delegation,”
said Sen. R. J. McNealy, “but I
must say I was not overjoyed with
the response I got on matters re
lating to the need for post offices.
“It would usually wind up with
'a return letter saying that a tele
phone call had been made and that
the matter had been brought to the
attention of the Post Office Dept.
“I think the resolution is one
measure we have that is stronger
than a letter.”
Sen. Lester Bronson agreed.
“The resolution is a tool of this
legislature,” Bronson said. “There
are many matters that we want
brought to the attention of certain
persons.
“And how in the world would
they know if we hadn’t resoluted
it?”
“With all due respect to the edi
tor,” said Senate President Frank
Peratrovich, “in some cases it is
very necessary to call the attention
of federal or state officials to cer
tain matters. This is the best way
to do so.”

Mucho Is a Dog of
i The Electronic Age
ALEXANDRIA. Va. <JF> —
Mucho is a dog of the electronic
age. He can take his commands
‘and obey them) from a walkie
talkie on his harness.
It was obvious that Mucho, with
the antenna sticking up from his
side, loved this electronic busi
ness.
“He knows he’s pleasing— he
knows it,” Pvt. Eugene Yoakum of
the Alexandria Police Dept. said.
Yoakum put Mucho through his
paces, standing about 40 feet away,
and giving him the commands into
a walkie-talkie in his hand. The
receiving set and antenna were at
tached to the,harness of the big
black and tan German shepherd.
“Down, Yoakum said into the
walkie-talkie. Mucho’s ears prick
ed up, and down the dog went. The
dog came, sat and bounded away,
all at commands heard on his
radio, and he performed with gusto.
It started last summer. Mucho,
almost 4, had been in the police
K-9 Corps a little over two years.
He rode often on the back seat of
the patrol car with Yoakum, his
master, and Sgt. Cecil Kesler.
The two policemen noticed that
when their car, K-9-1, was called
on the police radio, Mucho got all
excited, but didn’t pay any at
tention when he heard the noise
of other cars being called.
The policemen thought perhaps
Mucho noticed when they leaned
over to pick up the receiver when
their car was called. They arranged
with the dispatcher to call them,
and they just sat there without
noticing.
But in the back seat, Mucho
jumped when he heard “K-9-1,”
stood up and jumped up and down,
raring to go—his car had been
called.
Yoakum then started working
with Mucho and a walkie-talkie
in his spare time.
“It’s something we’re playing
around with—never used it on a
job,” Yoakum said. “We didn’t
know such a fuss would be raised
about it. I think we’ll perfect it
now.”
Kathy Grant, now Mrs. Bing
Crosby, was voted “Miss Fat Stock
Show of 1950.”
