May 13. — (UPI — The famous army "yoo-hoo” incident has been revived to confront Lieutenant-General Ben Lear on the eve of hl* retirement. The senate is holding up confirmation of Lear’s retirement pay because Senator Clark of Missouri still smoulders at the punishment the general ordered for a group of soldiers three year* ago. Clark reconstructed the “yoohoo” episode for the senate — recalling the cotin ter-march ordered by the general because the soldiers waved at pretty girls on a golf course. Senator Clark said thousands of gallons of gasoline were wasted lit the march from Memphis to Little Rock. Besides, the senator added, the punishment was ordered more because the boys laughed when the general commanded the trucks to halt—although he was dressed In clvles. And furthermore. Clark said, the general wan playing golf on the Sabbath. — o UNION URGES (Contlnaad Ftem rag* 1) dent of UK Local M 3, snored individualism and urged unity.
