Sen. Ellender Sees Stevenson Nominee Louisiana Senator Foresees Nomination WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen. Allen J. Ellender said today he thinks Adiai E. Stevenson "has the best chance" of winning the Democratic presidential nomination of any of the four announced candidates. * The Louisiana 1 >emoi^ai «avouIA n<>t speculate, howevej;, on wiieth* er the former Illinois governor can nail down the nomination on the first ballot, as some supporters of Stevenson have claimed. .The United Press learned Monday that an “1 Like Stevenson” !>etition was circulated among houSe Democrats last week but drew only about names and lhen was dropped. Sponsors of the petition had hoped to get about 125 of the 231 house Democrats to sign it. A spot check showed, however, that the petition apparently did not reach all Stevenson suiyiorters in the house. A Democrat active In the pro Stevenson effort attributed the poor showing to the "many distractions” of the final week of congress and to the fact that many Democrats come from states with their own favorite son candidates. Among these states are Texas. Missouri, MtissacijuseUs. Michi gan. Ohto, M 7 tishingtow»a’id New Mexico. Ellender told the United Paess liefore leaving for a two-mouths trip abroad that while ha„ thinks Stctenson is the front-runner, he still likes three potential dark horses if the convention should become deadlocked.

Sgt. McKeon Testifies In Own Defense Relates Attempts To Teach Discipline To Marine Recruits PARRIS ISLAND, S C. (UP) — S.Sgt Matthew C. McKeon, on trial for leading a marine recruit platoon on a ”dqath inarch", testified today that he was trying to teach |iis men discipline so they would not “crumble when the chips were down" in combat The 31-year-old drill instructor, speaking out for the first time in his general court-martial, said that when he came to this boot camp as a recruit hio own drill instructor gave him the same kind of training he used on his "laggard" platoon. That man was killed in Korea, he said. McKeon became his own star witness in a drama that will live tor manv years to come in the annals and loro of the corps whose commandant said flatly is on trial here as much as McKeon. McKeon's pretty wife, expecting their tIT-d child in a few weeks, was an intense spectator as the ramrod straight drill instructor took the stand and was led through the fleet round of a patiently calculated set of questions from his brilliant defence lawyer, Emila Zola Berman. Speaking of his platoon, McKeon said “they were good lads.” But he added in a calm voice, recruit platoon 71 lost its spirit and eagerness to learn to such a point thn* the senior range instructor called it “the worst disciplined platoon he ever had." Last April 8. McKeon led 74 members of his platoon on a night march in»o Ribbon Creek. Six were drowned. The. defense contends night marches into the marshes and tidal waters of Pnrris Island have been standard practice in recruit training, even though they are not called for by the manual. McKeon testified that when he went through training here in 1948 his platoon wSsi WMarched into the water On several occasions. He said that in knee-high water they were required to flop down into it at the blnct of a whistle simulating an air retd warning. Wh4n the spirit and eagerness drained out of his own platoon this spring. McKeon testified, he diddverythirg he could think of to restore it “They would fall out. scratching their hdittocks and looking up at airplanes when they should have been at attention,” he testified. “I’d latch onto them, sometimes give them a slight slap, and tell them to come to attention.” “Little things kept piling up. After the first couple of weeks their spirit and eagerness seemed to leave and they picked up these goof-off bad habits —learned how to sneak a cigaret and take seconds at chow.

gress of paehydermic phenomeons. The average circus or zoo is satisfied to present a few Burmese elephants in a short routine of sterotype medicore tricks, not so with Al G. Kelly and Miller Bros. In the 5 Continent menagerie carried by the world's 2nd largest circus, can be seen elephants from India, Indo China, Siam, Malaya, Ceylon and Borneo, as ‘well as from Africa, and rarest of all the pygmy elepharft from the heart of the Belgian Congo—the latter tho comparatively small as elephants go, is a fully matured adult, and this tiny “tusker” is beyond question the most outstanding zoological exhibit brought to the Western Hemisphere in the past half a century.
