More Sympathetic Messages Promised Reacts To Protest Os Grieving Father WASHINGTON (UP)—The Pentagon promised today to be more sympathetic in the future when informing parents of the tragic news that a son or daughter has died in the service of his country. The Pentagon reacted immediately after a grieving father said he would protest to Congress and to Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson about the "crude and heartless" mapner in which he was notified of the death of his Marine son in a plane crash Wednesday at Cherry Point, N.C. A Pentagon spokesman said Wilson and his top officials would deal promptly with the matter to see that it doesn't happen again. Stanley R. Fortuna, member of the Board of Selectmen of Fairfield, Conn., expressed resentment and hurt over a telegram he received telling him of the death of his 22-year-old son, Lt. Richard Fortuna. He said the telegram — from Maj. Gen. J. C. Munn, commanding general of the Cherry Point Marine Aircraft Wing — expressed regret, gave tentative funeral arrangements, and said the government would >allow him $125 to bury his son. . "I sent the general a telegram thanking him for the message and for the $125 in exchange for my son's life,” Fortuna said bitterly at Fairfield. "The Marines could find a better way to notify parents of deceased servicemen. Why. couldn’t they send' a local representative of the Marines to notify us?” A Pentagon spokesman said the Armed Forces Policy Council, which is comprised of Wilson and the service secretaries, would give toe matter prompt study. He indicated action would be taken to make Navy and Marine Corps methods conform with those of the Army and Air Force. The latter two services send telegraphic messages when there are deaths in which they express regrets and give available facts about causes. When they have learned that a family has received the notification, they send another telegram»outlining funeral procedures. The Navy and Marines send a single message in which they combine their expression of regrets with requests for family desires in regard to burial arrangements. Alleys Available For Open Bowling The Mies Recreation alleys will be available for open bowling all day today and Sunday, it was announced this morning. It was also stated that local bowlers will be able to pick up their checks for prize money to the recent doubles tourney next Tuesday.

Perteel Unhappy At Losing Caddy Post AUGUSTA, Ga. (UP) - Willie Friop* (Cemetery) Perteet, a sad-eyed-gkuffling caddy by day but a bounty drummer boy at night, demams a “retraction” today as to why he was “dethroned" aq golf-club chooser for President Eisenhower. Cemetery has been succeeded by Slim Jackson, another Negro and assistant caddy master at the Augusta National Golf Course where the Masters Tournament is now being played. Mr. Eisenhower has a cottage on the course and will be here this month. Ed Dudley, Augusta National pro. made the change. He said Cemetery was replaced because he was getting a little old and had a hard time keeping pace with Mr. Eisenhower, who tees up and shoots while his partners are still taking practice swings. To this. Cemetery replies he is only 51 and can move just as fast as any caddy at Augusta. Cemetery says the President has never said a harsh word to him on the course although Mr. Eisenhower gets a little unhappy when he misses a shot, as what golfer doesn't, according to the caddy. Cemetery bases his main case on the fact he lives it up most of the night at the Club 13 in Augusta, a segregated night spot with Negro entertainers. He plays the drums and shares vocalist honors with a tan contralto. He says these duties require far more vitality than caddying and he wants a hearing on his replacement for the presidential foursomes.
