Page 4 By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (#—Enlisted men in Korea who want to tote per- sonal six-shooters are giving head- | aches to the military and post- | c*fice. Also they are leading kin- folk into unwitting infraction of | the law. Officials said today an increas- | % ing number of revolvers and pis- | tols have been found in the mail | , addressed to Marines and §& GI's. Relatives try to mail the | guns in response to requests from | servicemen in the war zone. Why de they want them? j Marine and Army authorities | here said they weren't sure, but they had some ideas after talking | with relatives. Among the reasons | suggested were these: | 1. If officers can wear side arms, | why shouldn't enlisted men? 2. In foreward areas, close to; the battleline, regulations require that firearms be carried. A re- volver in a holster is easier to carry than an M-1 rifle on a sling | or in the hand. 3. Scme soldiers claim in let- ters that they are inadequately | armed. 4. A mistaken impression that | any officer has the unlimited right to have a sidearm mailed to him, leading to an idea that the enlisted man should have the same priv- | ilege. 5. Some young soldiers are only a few years removed from boy- | hood days when they yearned to pack a pearl-handled six-gun in a ! holster, cowtoy fashion. (There | was at least one, older soldier of | fame who wore pearl-handled re- | volvers, namé of Gen. Géorge Pats | ton.) : j The military says most enlisted | men don’t need sidearms, that un- | der the “tables of organization and equipment” sidearms are issued | “to any and all whose duties re- | quire use of same.” | Postal laws’ specify that ‘pistols, revolvers and other firearms capa- ble of being concealed on the per- son are non-mailable and shall not | be deposited in or carried by the mails.”” However, a provision does} allow sidearms to be mailed to officers of the armed forces ‘for | use in connection with ther c..i- | cial duties when an affidavit is provided guaranteeing that the | need is for official use only’. | The trouble seems to be that | most relatives—including mothers, | aunts and sisters—simply never | heard of the law covering fire- | arms. And it is likely most GI's ! also are unfamiliar with it. | So when Willie writes home and Says ‘‘Ma, send me a revolver,” | she just wraps it up and takes | it to the postoffice.

That may not sound unusual, bu it is when you consider the activi ¢ ties of other screen celebrities | Some, like Bob Hop eand Bing | Crosby, have many business enter- | prises. Some, like Red Skelton and Donald O’Conner, devote much of ; their time to television. Ida Lupino and Paul Henreid are ! two of several actors who also | perform as directors, while John | Wayne, Robert Ycung, James Ma- | sca and others have functioned a: producers.

Grant added that he indulges in no big business enterprises. What does he do with his film salaries? “T can tell you where the bulk of it goes,”’ he laughed, indicating, I imagine, the U. S, Treasury. “Of , course. I do have some surplus at the end c: the year. But I am hot one to worry about money. Actually, it doesn’t matter mucet in these days whether you earn | $500,000 or $150,000. The difference in your net return is only a mat- ter of three or four thousand dol- lars. “And what is the difference how much money you make, anyway, as long as you have enough? You | ean only eat so many meals and wear so many clothes.’ Grant added that he had ne out- side activities “because it took me long enough to learn this craft and I'm not even certain I've fin- ished learning it.’ Other film actors wouldn't share his modest opinion.

Perhaps she had expected him to study the photograph for a mo- ment longer. Anyway, she seemed unprepared for his move, She, too, had been looking up at the photograph. He was amazed by the expression that had come over her face. _ Apparently she had been smil- ing up at the photograph. But what Johnny saw was somewhat awesome. Half of the woman’s features smiled. The other half of the face was a partially twisted . It was sort of a fright- ul combination that gave Johnny Saxon a distinct shock—until he realized what was wrong.

The removal of ‘“‘out- ing’ in “Scouting’’ is equal to zero. “Camping,” “Hikes” and ‘Out-of- door Advanture” are the answers most given by boys to the question: “Why do you want to become a Scout?” Troop No. 253 tries to bring this out-of-door experience to the lives of the Scuots in the Troop. In car- rying out its program, planned a year in advance, the leaders of !Trcop No. 253, sponsored by the Holy Name Society, under the di- rection of Leonard McElveen, Chairman of the Troop Committee and Tony Martinez, Scoutmaster, encamped at Snapper Creek Camp in South Miami over the weekend. Leaving Key West on the Scout Bus they arrived at the South Flo- rida Council Camp and were greet- ed by Mr. Zearly, Camp Ranger, who assigned cabins to the Scouts. Don Campbell, of Troop No. 29 - Everyone enjoyed seeing him as he was a Junior Councilor at Snap- per Creek during 1951 Summer Camp. Bob Staves and _ Burhl Knopp, of Key West, were also guests at Snapper Creek. Cooking in the open, swimming, hiking and having fun filled the program. A couple of cases of poi- son ivy were reported and treated. Advancements in the Scouting pro- gram were taken by various Scouts. This Camp is now used by the Scouts in Monroe District only during the summer months but can be used at anytime, if permission is secured ahead of schedule. Scouts participating in the outdoor adventure were: Rene Alvarez, Gurdbe’ Harton Robert Halliday, Gu Richard Hoeffer, Miami, was guest of the Troop. | "10 times more effective than DDT! ‘Four Unemployed Receive $62 TALLAHASSEE, In his report | covering the week ending March 7th, Chairman Raymond E.
