American War Heroes Lauded

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy called them “our most distinguished American citizens.” Standing in the White House rose garden, forming a semi-circle of massive human courage, the Medal of Honor winners seemed pleased at the compliment. A total of 293 of them are still alive, and 234 were present at the annual reception given by the President Thursday to honor U. S. military forces. “There are more square yards of courage here than you'll ever again see in your lifetime," someone said. Many of them were just ordinary appearing souls like the man next door, who rose to heights of unbelievable valor in moments of incredible strain. They had come to Washington to be honored by the President. Proud Os All “So, gentlemen,” Kennedy said, Local Lady's Sister Dies In California Mrs. Rosella J.

“we are delighted to have you here today, and we are very proud of you and, most of all, we are proud of what you represent which is the strong courage of Americans and their determination to defend their country " One of the “you" was James Dozier, a retired lieutenant general who lives in Columbus. S.C. He won the coveted medal during World War I. Young and old, some very old, they wandered around the south lawn of the White House, pausing now and then to gaze up to the second floor balcony where Caroline and John F. Kennedy Jr. watched the proceedings. They nret old friends and recounted old tales. Old Battleship Mates “Well.” said Abraham DeSomer to Henry N. Nickerson “did you talk to' the man who pays your checks?” Nickerson, with his left leg missing, nodded an assent since Kennedy had passed his way while strolling through the crowd. DeSomer, of San Leandro, Calif-, and Nickerson of Wheeling, W. Va.. both won their medals in April. 1914. while serving on the battleship Utah which was shelling the Mexicans at Vera Cruz. Most of those present were heroes of World War II and the Korean War. Many of these still are in uniform. A few were from the battles of old. Retired Brig. Gen. Charles Roberts of Chevy Chase. Md., and John Davis of St. Petersburg, Flat, were given their coveted awards because of what they did in the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898Flying Ace There “Pappy” Boyington, the legendary Marine flying ace of the South Pacific Theater in the Second World War, was there too. Kennedy gave him an especially warm handclasp. There also was Earle D. Gregory of Tuscaloosa, Ala., who rose to glory in the Bois de Consenvoye in France on Oct. 8, 1918. His wife. Jettie, rushed to Kennedy and had him autograph a baseball for their 11-year-old grandson, Jeff. “This is going to carry Alabama for you," she said. “Thank- you,” said the President. • 5 Ort tbfe ellipse facing the White Housq, police patrolled the curbs to reserve parking places for the President’s guests. “Did you win a Medal of Honor?” one cop asked a driver who tried to park there. “No.” the former Navy man said, “but I had a good conduct medal.” “Over to the other side, fellah," directed the policeman.

Complex Problems In Latin America

By PHIL NEWSOM r UPI Foreign News Analyst t BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — s This is a city that may be j likened to a beautiful and sophisticated woman over whom too r many men have fought. The wait- 8 ing for a victory has made her f cynical and disillusioned and the j poorer for it. c Buenos Aires is the capital of a nation which should be among t the wealthiest in South America, y Argentina’s land is rich and her industrial structure one of the j most highly developed on the t continent. < But Argentina is in the throes t of a revolution which began near- t ly eight years ago with the overthrow of the dictatorship of Juan j D. Peron and whose end is not ( yet in sight. 5 Casts Dark Shadow The image of Peron still casts a long, dark shadow across Ar- ’ gentina. It finds physical expres- < sion in a bitterly anti-Peron military which neither rules nor per- I mite otters to rule. And it finds | expression in two million Peronistas, deprived of a leader but given no one in return, left in a , political vacuum from which they now plot his return either by bullets or the ballot box. And, as Argentina’s seconomy stagnates, there is among her 21 million people a growing doubt that either the military or democratic processes can provide their salvation. This is one of'the tragedies of Argentina, that it could be lost to the Western Hemisphere democracies only because it could find no substitute for dictatorship. Misleading Picture Buenos Aires, lying along the broad River Platte, has an enduring beauty. And the first impression is of wide, landscaped avenues, of automobile-filled streets, of modern hotels and of children at play in green parks It is a picture of well-being and of a people at peace with itself. And yet in a sense, it is as misleading as a Hollywpod set. Behind it all is ample evidence that all indeed is not well. There is the expression of deep cynicism from among the people. From the hotel doorman who uses a rude Spanish expression to describe a revolution as only the maneuverings of ambitious officers in the navy, army or airforce. And from tfce housewife who puts off her shopping until noon'“because by then the revolution may be over:” It comes also from the 15,000 Argentines who seek each month to leave their country and move to the United States. Symbol of Unrest And it comes from such a one as Carlos Marchicnda, a house painter. Marchionda is 40, has a wife and small daughter. He .has a dark, thin face and an expressive mouth. I He is on a contract job, which means that he pays for his own paint. Since he started the job, the price of a can of paint has gone up 200 pesos, or about $1.25. To Marchionda this is important money; he is one of approximately one million in Argentina who either are under-employed or unemployed. Like many others, Marchionda works two jobs to make ends meet. He and his family live with a friend. For Marchionda also is among the million and a half for whom there is no low-cost housing. Marchionda dislikes the governI ment and, while he says he is ■ anti-Peron, he says he would vote 1 for the Peronistas now—- “ Maybe they stole but at least ; they let us live.” , Marchionda personifies the prob-, lem faced by the men who are ■ trying to build a stable demo- . cratic government in Argentina. He and millions like him are un- ! able or unwilling to see that the country’s economic ills today are ' in great measure the harvest of the Orgy of spending and pay increases that Peron decreed. Peron gets the credit for the pay 1 increases, and his successors the ' blame for the consequences. Military At Odds Within Argentina’s military forces are two factions—the ! “Blue” and the “Red,” who also are known as “Colorados”-—-The Blues demand a return to > constitutional government and immediate elections. The Reds favor a five-year pe-

riod of military rule in which t to “re-educate” the voters. < The Blues led the April revolt , against provisional President Jose Maria Guido. ( On the other side are the Peronistas, who now seek to regain . at the polls the respectability and power they had under Peron —and if not at the polls, then by rev- 1 olution. In between the opposing mill- 1 tary and Peronista forces are the ' hopelessly split political parties. ’ And victim of them all is Pres- 1 ident Guido, who would like no- < thing better than to return to his country law practice in his na- 1 tive town of Vied ma in Argen- 1 tina’s barren Patagonia. 1 “There is nothing wrong with 1 Argentina,” one American here : observed, “that political stability : won’t cure.” , Spring Tax Payment IsMadeßyl&M The spring tax installment of $41,943.97 was paid today by Indiana & Michigan Electric company to Adams county on real and personal property, E. W. Hagan, local manager, announced. The spring tax payment is the first of two due on 1962 Indiana real and personal property taxes, he said, >- Die spring tax installment payment made here was part of a payment of $1,930,732 made in 49 counties this week on Indiana real and personal property owned by I&M. The largest single tax payment in Indiana was made in St. Joseph county, where I&M paid $590,726. Other large payments went to Allen county, $250,965; Dearborn, $182,734; Sullivan, $157,821; and Delaware, $124,846. I&M’s total federal, state and local taxes for 1962 were approximately $18,409,200, including about $12,238,200 for federal income taxes. The utility's over-all tax bill was up $1,561,000 over 1961. Spring Taxes Paid By Gas Company A spring tax installment of more than $4 million <54,152,445.24) in real estate and personal property taxes was paid this week by Northern Indiana Public Service company as its contribution toward more and better schools, parks, highways, fire and police protection and aid to thegrowth and development of the northern third of the state. Richard M. Reetz, NIPSCO De-' catur district manager, said that local taxes paid by the utility in Adams county amounted to $13,867.36, of which $10,947.17 went to the city of Deactur. Tax payment checks were sent to Gas company district managers well ahead of the May 6 deadline to make sure county treasurers received them in. plenty of time.
