Marine Sergeant On Trial For Tragedy National Attention To Focus On Trial PARRIS ISLAND, S. C. (UP) — National attention will focus next week on this famed U. S. marine corps boot training camp where a 31-year-old sergeant —- and, according to its commandant, the entire marine corps—will be on trial for “the tragedy of Ribbon Creek.” S.Sgt. Mkithew C. McKeon, the junior drill instructor who marched a platoon of recruits into a marshy tidal ,creek as a dicsipllnary measure, goes to trial by general court martial Monday. Six of tne recruits were drowned in a general panic as the platoon veered into deep water on the moonless, w indy night of last April 8. McKeon, a native of Worcester, Mass., and a veteran of eight years in the marines, is- charged with mansiaaghter. If .cowtefed, could get a maximum penalty of Iff years in prison and dishonorable discharge. Defending him will he a staff of four, ‘headed by Emile Zola Berman, who is generally recognized to be one of the best trial attorneys ip New York. Berman, who is serving without fee, was selected by a, committee organized by New York supreme court Justice James B. M. McNally to see that McKeon gets a fair trial. The tragic march touched off a ’national debate, as to whether the peacetime training methods of the proud and combat-proven marine corps have been too rigorous. Gen. Randolph McCall Pate, the marine corps commandant, stepped forthrightly into the controversy and said: i “The marine corps system of recruit training has been drawn into question. In a very real sense the inarine corps is on trial for the tragedy of Ribbon Creek just as surely as is Sergeant McKeon.” Last May L- a marine court of inquiry reported that when McKeon marched the platoon into the creek he was “under the in-, fluence of alcohol to an unknown degree.” ' However, defense attorney Berman is expected to bring legal strategy to bear on the faet that the charges under which McKeon is being brought to court martial nowhere allege that he was drunk. There are four charges against McKeon of violating the uniform code of military justice: manslaughter, crueHy and maltreatment. disobeying orders, and bringing discredit to the armed services. traoe In a Good Town — Decatur
