They were often long and costly engagements but always success- ful and vital to allied victory. Today’s Atlantic Fleet Amphibi- ous Force, commanded by Vice Adm. F. G. Fahrion, from his flagship the USS Pocono, is an ever-growing, modern, efficient force capable of making an assault landing on enemy held beaches any place in the world. This birthday finds ships and men deployed in Mediterranean, Caribbean and Arc- tic waters, constantly working to improve amphibious techniques. Today the very word amphibious, meaning the ability to live on land and water, no longer applies. Tri- phibious would be more appro- priate. For with the perfection of the helicopter and the close inte- gration of the tactical air support control squadrons, the ‘“‘Amphibs” have taken to the air. Here in the Atlantic Fleet, three of the amphibious command ships — Pocono, Adirondack and Mount Olympus — have been equipped with helicopter landing decks, as/| have many of the landing ships dock. And many of the ships now under construction in Mississippi, Maine and Wisconsin are arrivng at Norfolk equipped with built-in “flight decks.” The helicopter, as a fast means of transporting troops, scouting and reconnaissance, and quick re- moval of wounded personnel, has become almost indispensable to the modern amphibious assault. Tactical Air Control Squadrons (TACRONS), seaborne airmen who direct their airborne brothers to the attack, have grown in size and efficiency along with the rest of the force. Improved methods of communications, constant training ashore, afloat and in the air have made the air supported amphibious operation practically invincible. Other integral parts of the Am- phibious Force have also kept up with the ‘accelerated Program, training,‘ * 2 “The Sea Bees, almost legendary 4n their reputation as a “can-do” outfit, have developed faster ways of building roads, cause- ways and encampments.

Much of today’s Amphibious Force’s training activity takes Place at the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Va. Command- ed by Capt. Arthur H. Taylor, the Amphibious Base has recently be- gun a long range program includ. ing the building of new and mod- ern barracks for its men, school and administrative buildings, elec- trical and sewage systems, s' tower and operations buildi concrete LST and small craft piers and a five million dollar harbor dredging project. Since 1946, the Amphibious Train- ing Command, with its six specia- Ized schools has trained more than 150,000 Naval, Marine and Army personnel as well as cadets and midshipmen in the complex me- thods of amphibious warfare. It is} commanded by Rear Adm. Rufus | E. Rose. | Since the end of World War II, | the Atlantic Fleet Amphibious | Force has conducted training ex-| ercises from Puerto Rico to New- foundland, from North Carolina to | Greece. It was at Kavalla, Greece | in the fall of 1953 that the force | units attached to the Mediterran- ean Sixth Fleet participated so/ successfully in the combined NATO operation ‘‘Weldfast.” In the final analysis, it is, as al-| ways, the individual fighting men | on whom victory depends, the) men who man the ships, coxwain the small boats and landing craft and operate the complex communi- cation equipment. Today they are | among the most capable men in| the Fleet. Victim Posts Bail For Extortionist PASADENA, Calif () — The as- serted victim of a $10,000 extortion attempt has posted bail for a young mother held with her husband as the perpetrators. Donald T. Heath, 23, appealed to Rudolph W. Caspers, head of Half-Size Fashion 9158 14%—24%2 a savings and loan concern, for mercy for Mrs. Mattie Mae Heath, also 23 and the mother of three young children.

He said they had arranged for Mrs. | Heath’s $2,500 bail.

The vaccine is made of dead polio virus, killed by formaldehyde and triple-tested for safety. Some scientists have questioned whether the vaccine could possibly damage human kidneys, The virus fer the vaccine is grown upon monkey kidney tissues. The vac- cine fluid therefore can contain small amouts of protein from the monkey kidneys. Dr. Salk, speaking to the New | Orleans Graduate Medical Assem- bly, said his tests show no reasons to suspect that this kidney mate- | rial could react upon human kid- ney. | Another question has been} whether dead virus—incapable of | causing polio—is sufficiently able to stimulate production of large amounts of antibodies which would last for mofd than ‘one polio season. Dr. Salk’s main news is an an- swer. He finds gdod evidence that the first shots of vaccine, set a trigger for the human body to be able to make many antibodies quickly, When the booster shot is given, some weeks or months later, the production of antibodies soars tre- mendously. Dr. Salk said there would be no problem in making enough vac- cine for the nation’s 46 million LUMP IN BED WAS | JUST HIS OWN WALLET) FREDERICK, Md. ~The trav- | eling salesman left, first thing in the morning.

(#—President Eisenhower rested today at his Catoctin Mountain lodge and planned some work on the tax ad- dress he will make to the nation over television and radio Monday night. i The President and Mrs. Eisen- hower arrived yesterday afternoon at Camp David, presidential re- treat named for their gandson. They drove from Washington, 60 miles south of here, with Mrs. John S. Doud, the First Lady’s mother Col. and Mrs. Gordon Moore, Mrs. Eisenhower’s sister; and George E. Allen, who was a director of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. in the Truman administration. The President still hoped to get in a round of golf today but the weather on his arrival dimmed the prospects. The Catoctin Mountains were covered with a light snow which fell Thursday, and the greens on the golf course where Eisenhower usually plays in this area were crusted with ice. The course is located at nearby Blue Ridge Summit in Pennsyl- vania, Judge Crges Man To Vacate Cell DALLAS #—A judge says he'll go to court if necessary to force a man out of jail. Last December the 46-year-old man was arrested on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. When witnesses failed to appear agaist the man Feb. 20, Judge Joe B. Brown offered him liberty on a personal recognizance —no-cash-necessary—bond. The defendant refused, saying he had no place to go. Yesterday Judge Brown insisted the man leave jail. “I am an American citizen,” the defendant declared. “‘And I’ve got as much right in that jail as any- body.” Judge Brown set the man’s case for Wednesday and said if witness- es don’t appear he will dismiss the case and if necessary file an evic- tion suit.

Miss Simmons, Newton and Young, a hen-pecked tailor, are among a group of Christians being taken The lion turns out Young had previously befriended, and refuses to eat him.
