Task Force Born At Air Station

The 1st Marine Brigade, former- ly the 1st Provisional Marine Air- Ground Task Force, observes a

birthday Saturday, Jan. 19. Four

years ago, what has developed into a hard- hitting efficient combat team came into existence at the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station with the designation of Task Force Headquarters Company.

The 4th Marines-MAG-13, and supporting units. combination is

unique in that its the only one of its kind in the world.

A big event in history of the air- ground team was the arrival of the 4th Marines from Japan in Feb.. 1955. May 1, 1956 saw the rebirth of

the title "1st Marine Brigade, FMF." In a historic ceremony on the regimental parade field May 4 the Task Force color was retired. Brig. Gen. George R. E. Shell, present Brigade commanding general, assumed command on June 23, 1956, relieving Brig. Gen. Edward C. Dyer.

April '56. the Task Force tested amphibious warefare concepts for the atomic age in "Operation Mau- ka" on Kauai. Under its new commander and new title, B r ig a d e sharpened its combat skills in amphibious landings on Kauai. maneuvers on the Island of Hawaii. and a huge AIRLEX. during a three month exercise which started in August, 1956.

Brigade Seeks Molokai Land For Maneuver, Training Area

Negotiations for the use by the 1st Marine Brigade of almost 32,000

acres of and on Molokai are continuing this week, it was announced

by Brigade G-4, Lt. Col. Frank E. Garretson. Comprising unused pasture lands belonging to the Hawaiian Homes

Commission and the Molokai Ranch, the area will permit maneuvering arc no large communities on Molo- of units at least of battalion size. Lt. Col. James G. Juett, Executive Officer. 4th Marines. and staff officers visited the area Tuesday to survey its possibilities.

Lt. Col. Garretson stated that the procurement of right of entry to the land will give the Brigade a training area badly needed since the virtual closing of Bellows Air Force Base.

While no firm training schedule has been established for the utiliza- tion of the Molokai area. it is anticipated that week-long company problems will start things off. pos- aibly in early February. Since there

kai, plans do not include liberty for any units during their training cycles.

The use of the land was requested of FMFPac by the Brigade. FMP- Pac presented the need to the 14th Naval District. Mr. Albert G. Barks- dale of the 14th ND Real Estate Section has been conducting the negotiations and appeared at a Hawaiian Homes Commission meeting last. week to ask for a license to use some of the land.

The area being sought extends from Molokai Airport to an area east of Kaunakakai.

As Marine Unit

Tuesday to Mark 5th Anniversary Of K-Bay Station

Next Tuesday marks the fifth an niversary of the commissioning of Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station as a Marine Corps insta!Iation.

The fifth year in the life of MCAS. Kaneohe, was marked by a change of command. Col. Jack R. Cram relieved the now retired Col William B. Steiner as Command- ing Officer on Oct. 3, 1956, and Col. Cram has since led the Station in an accelerated program of improve- ment of facilities and appearance.

First activated as a Naval air station in December of 1940. it was not until Jan. 15, 1952, the date of the commissioning of MCAS, that Marines were stationed at Kaneohe in any large number.

Under Naval administration during World War II this station en- joyed a reputation as the "Garden Spot of Pacific Military Establish- ments."

During this past year the phrase has been revived by visiting digni- taries and other guests aboard the base. Extensive landscaping, includ- ing the planting of trees and shrubs in the barracks areas, is only one of the projects which have improved station appearance. The quonset huts in the Station area have been razed and another long standing eye-sore, the old swamp on Third Street. between the RCT area and the MAG barracks, has been filled in. Appearance of the hilltop area has been greatly enhanced by the re-designed and re-built Officer's Club patio, now a bright, light structure of steel and glass.

Hardly less noticeable, and sure to be an appearance asset in the near future. are the 55 sets of mod- ern public quarters now under construction.

Other Station improvements include an $800.000 taxiway added to the runway and the completion of the new brig.

Recreational facilities a boa r d MCAS, too, have progressed. The RCT area now sports four new handball courts and the Station rodeo arena at Ft. Hase is a recent addition.

14 Kegler Lanes To Be Installed At Kaneohe Bay

Fourteen of the latest type bowling alleys are about to become a reality at K-Bay, Col. Jack R. Cram, CO, MCAS, announced this week.

Part of a rapidly unfolding plan for many increased recreational facilities. the bowling alley project is now within sight.

Of the 14 alleys. 10 are planned for installation in Building 1090 in the regimental area and four are slated for the Commissioned Officers Mess (Open).

The project. for which recreational funds have been requested from HQMC. will cost close to $75,- 000. This will permit installation of the very best alleys with automatic pinsetters. It is estimated that de- livery of the equipment will be made about three months after the order is placed. It will take about one month to effect installation.

Col. Cram emphasized that every effort is being made to get the alleys in operation as quickly as possible.

Editor's Corner We're Delighted

We are delighted to have been informed that not a Marine from K-Bay became a traffic casualty over the long Christmas-New Year's holidays.

It's mighty nice. It means we can take pride in our automobile safety record over a period when new slaughter records were established on the nation's highways.

More than that, the number of accidents in which Marines were involved was amazingly low. There was only one small accident on the station with damage amounting to somewhere around five dollars.

Off-station, the record was not quite as good but it was way above average. The obvious conclusion is that traffic safety can be a reality. Maybe you were saved because the police at a roadblock made some-

Give It a Try! Personnel who operate the Marine Corps Air Station Commissary

store are normally very patieat people. When a child curiously pokes its fingers into a bag of cookies, or a customer drops a jar of pickles on the floor, they adopt a philosophic attitude, and chalk it up as some of the hazards included in the operation of a store. There isn't much that can be done about it.

But there is something that patrons of the K-Bay commissary can do that will not only make the management happy, but also other customers. It's a very simple suggestion-when you're through with your shopping cart, put it back in its designated parking place, so other customers can use it. Not too many people are doing this.

A visit to the commissary on a pay-day is one that is not inclined to rake morale. Needless to say, the store is packed to the rafters. Progress out of the place is impeded by shopping carts blocking the way. Some are left in the middle of the parking lot. Others are wheeled into the Rainbow Village housing area and forgotten. To add to the confusion, some patrons make it easier on themselves and harder for everyone else by parking in the loading zone, thus blocking both outgoing and incoming shoppers. Tempers of shoppers loaded down with armsful of groceries become somewhat strained. And it isn't really necessary.

Perhaps five seconds more of your time is needed to park the cart back in its original parking place. Secondly, exercising consideration for others might result a happy family of shoppers at the K-Bay commissary. Why don't you give it a try?

Station Bulletin 1747 e' Jan. 4, has this to say about the As- sociation: "The history of any organization, in a great measure, reflects the personalities and abi- lities of its founders" . . . "Since October, 1922, when a self-sac- rificing group of enlisted ship-

. mates gathered and formally organized the Fleet Reserve As- sociation in South Philadelphia, this Association, founded in the spirit of loyalty, Protection and and Service, has forged ahead until it is the acknowledged leader in affairs concerning the career service man of the Navy and Marine Corps."

and IT GI insurance from term to permanent plans is NOT affected by the new Survivors Benefits Act. Mr. George W. Bicknell. Manager of the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Honolulu announced Tues- day.

Mr. Bicknell said the only GI policies which may NOT be converted are the 5-year term post-service policies which the law stipulates are non-convertible.

"Otherwise." Mr. Bicknell said, "all other GI term policies are convertible. even the post-ser ice term policies for which disabled veterans are eligible if they apply within one year from the date that VA finds their disabilities to be service-connected."

The Survivor Benefits Act merely limits issuance of new GI insurance policies. It does not alter the con- version rights in existing policies, Mr. Bicknell said.

Helicopters Game Survey Molokai `Friendly Isle' Studied for Use As Hunting Area

Photos and Story By MSGT. ROY G. CARBINE Two helicopters of HMR-I61

last week took a party of us on a

tour of a sportsman's paradise. The occasion was a game survey

of some 20,000 acres of land on huge and spratio'ng Molokai Ranch, Ltd. on neighboring Molokai. The choppers transported a party of officials from the Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry and officials of Molokai Ranch to make a "head count" of wildlife on the ranch. Purpose was to ascertain whether or not the area was suf- ficiently well stocked with deer and upland game birds to warrant opening it as a public hunting area.

The occasion was historically significant.

Eight years ago, there were no public hunting areas In Hawaii. The great sport was restricted in the islands to either land- owners or their relatives and friends. Today. through the efforts of the

Board of Agriculture and Forestry. or more particularly. through the work of the Fish and Game Divi- sion of that bureau. there are 169.- 000 acres of public hunting lands available.

The Island of Molokai is the last major Island which has no public hunting ground.

Tentative arrangements have now been made between the Ter- ritory and Molokai Ranch to open up the 20.000 acres next year, if final details can be worked out, and if the game situation indicates it is advisable.

So, one morning last week. the two choppers. piloted by Maj. Arthur Clauser, Lts Clyde Van Bebber and Taylor Pryor and 'Mgt. Frank Baker. took off for Mo!9kai. On board as passen- gers were Mr. Harrison Cook, no- t-d Honolulu sportsman and general manager and co-owner of Molokai Ranch; Dick Wood- worth, game manager for the Board of Agriculture. Wayne

Collins. KGMB-TV newscaster, and this correspondent. We made an initial pass over the

r'a at cruising speed. on reaching Molokai. We spotted a few goats and a small herd of fleet-footed -ixis deer.

Sitting down at the Molokai air- txrt we picked up Mr. Eric Reppun. Agriculture and Forestry Board President: Mr. Phil Spalding. Mo- !okai Ranch vice president. and fish and game division biologists Joe Medeiros and Dave Woodside.

With these experts. the big sweep

ARTILLERY INSPECTION-Brig. Gem George R. E. Shell, left, Is! Marine Brigade CG, listens while MSgt. Everett D. Matthews, com- munications chief, H&S Btry., 3rd Bn., 12 Marines, center, explains the operation of a field switchboard during the General's inspection of that unit Monday and Tuesday. Accompanying Gen. Shell were Capt. John F. Greshan, H&S Btry. (3rd from left); Is' Lt. Charles F. Turner, "G" Btry. (2nd from left); and SSgt. Hubert L. Ivie, "I" Btry. The inspection of the artillery battalion is a part of the overall inspection plan set for Brigade units.

over the virgin nunting territcr began.

Cruising up and down the high ridges between the deep gullet's that slash down the Island's sides to the sea we began to "jump" deer.

Medeiros and Woodside were in the co-pilot seats up front, making the head count. Their vzices. tense with excitement. crackled over the intercoms as deer after deer was seen. "Doe and a fawn"

buck and three does!" "six does-one of them may be a buck, awful big!"

As we progressed. the number of deer increased.

To any hunter who has known the long and disappointing trek up and down, thorny hills without ever spottine a buck. or a ho has stood for hours on a stand and slowly frozen. without seeing deer-one. it was paradise unlimited!

Swooping low. the choppers literally "herded" groups of deer that numbered as high as 25 or 30. In a spectacular panorama below. the red and white spotted axis streaked across the lava and keawe flats. desperately trying to escape the roaring flying machilir, above them.

While deer were the principal game. scores of quail. pheasants. and thousands of dove were seen. Th- quail flew up in large coveys that made the bunter's mouth literally water: time after time the drab underbrush was streaked by the gliding flight of color- ful ringneck pheasants: and in one newly cut-over alfalfa field we later visited. one could have made his bag of doves simply by walking through the field with a swagger stick!. Some members of the party be-

lieved they saw a few chukkar partridge.. but could not be sure.

According to Biologist Woodside. the vegetation of the area is excellent for game birds. Imported Australian salt grass retains excellent moisture and provides food for the birds.

An actual count was made of nearly 150 deer. The fish and game people estimate that the number of deer actually seen in such a survey is only a third of the total number present.

On that basis. there were 450 deer in the area we covered in an hour's flight. Woodworth pointed

Servicemen Sang Credits Covered Under New Law

WASHINGTON-The new Sur- vivors Benefits Act provides pro. fection through the Veterans Ad- ministration for servicemen who might die having neither worked nor served long enough to be covered by the Social Security System

Under the Soria] Security law. worker or member of the Armed

Forces must participate as a con- tributor through wage-deductions for six quarters or 18 months before being eligible for "currently in- -ired" minimum benefits. To 1:1-

'fully' covered with maximum benefits. an individual must be in the system for 40 quarters or 10 years

In the event of the death of a serviceman. the benefits act. which was effective Jan. 1. 1957, as Public Law 881. provides for monthly payments to the widoTr of S112 plus 12 per cent of the de- ceased military members' base pay by the VA. However. additional compensation for more tnan one child would be derived from Social Security.

Since the statutes governing So- cial Security carry the 'currently insured** limitation. PL 881 stipulates that the VA will assume pay- ment of benefits which might ac- crue to his children on the death of a serviceman prior to his eligi- bility under the law.

This is particularly important to reservists or in the event of a national emergency when many young men with families conceivably would be called into service (AFPS

out that the survey was only partial.

Any way you look at it. that's a lot of deer! And pheasant. quail and dove!

Shorttimers who may be eligible for an extension and who are good hands with a rifle or shotgun might remember-if the area is opened. it wont be until next No- vember!

Book Review

Guide Book for Officers Solves Many Questions

THE MARINE OFFICER'S GUIDE by Gen. G. C. Thomas, USMC (Ret), Col. R. D. Hein!, jr., USMC and Rear Adm. A. A. Age- Fon, USN (Ret).

As Gen. Randolph McC. Pate. CMC, says in the forward to this new book. "The Marine Officer% Guide is the first work of its kind and scope ever to be published for U. S. Marine officers." Every Ma- rine officer has known times when he wished he had an accurate, Ma- rine ready reference book to set- tle questions about the Corps. pro- vide a guide to the watchstander at sea. solve a problem in pay al- lowances. clue him on a detail of making a call or ordering his call- ing cards. or telling him a little cf the necessary details about a new post

Well. here it is. With hundreds of illustrations ranging from the organization of the Department of the Navy to the formation for the Marine Corps birthday cake cutting ceremony. action on court martial by higher authorities to typical assignment patterns for ground and aviation officers. the book is crammed with the useful bits of information that are used infrequently enough to be forgotten but needed quickly and accurately from time to time.

As explained in the introduction. the authors are familiar with the necessity for change in so many areas of military life. Accordingly. they have concentrated their efforts on providing a GUIDE. leaving the details for official publications ref- -renced in the text. So. if it can't be found in the book. the place to find it can be determined. This. in itself. is like having a first sergeant at your fingertips.

Of interest locally is a picture on page 131. It shows Marines loading aboard an ILMR-161 helicopter and the caption reads. in part. "ANOTHER MAJOR MARLNE INNOVATION. the helicopter was first flown in battle by pilots at- tached to the 1st Marine Brigade. in August 1950."

While the book admittedly is aimed at the young officers. it should prove to be a valuable book for all officers. It is written in an interesting style. clearly and con- cisely. It is steeped in the tra- ditions of the Corps and. throughout. takes note of the achievements of the Corps.

But is it just for officers? Not in the least. Staff Non-commissioned Officers will find much of value to them. And for those who aspire to a commission, it should prove a most valuable text. It even contains a table and description of the roads to a commission.

The Marine Officer's Guide is published by the NAVAL INSTI- TUTE PROCEEDINGS and the MARINE CORPS GAZ.:i has exclusive distribution rights for it. Most Marine Exchanges will carry it but in the meantime it is available through the GAZETTE Bookshop. Box 1844. Quantico. Va. The Guide sells for S5.75 with the regular ten per cent discount going to regular Marine Corps Association Members.-GBS.

Med. Officer Urges K-Bay Personnel to Obtain Polio Shots

Sufficient poliomyelitis vaccine is now available to innoculate all eligible military and dependent personnel. who apply. with the entire course of three innoculations. according to a recent Station Bulletin.

The Medical Officer desires to re- emphasize the likelihood of future cases of poliomyelitis occurring in this locality and to strongly urge those who have not received the innoculations to take them at the earliest opportunity.

This is particularly important in the age group 14 years to 25 years as the disease appears to strike this age _group particularly hard.

Theater Schedule and Review By MSGT FRANK FORSYTH

Two shows nightly-5:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. at both Main Theater. and 4th Marines. Theater are one day later than scheduled below.

TONIGHT . . . CAROUSEL Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones

Story based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that ran on Broadway for three seasons. Songs and more songs.

RATING . . . EXCELLENT. If it was good enough for Broadway for three years it should please the stompers and screamers here at the Old Opry House. SATURDAY . . . MAN BEHIND THE GUN

Randolph Scott and Patrice Wymore Woman singer leads a plot in the 1850s to make

Southern California a slave state. She fails to interest a disguised Army Major and is killed when the con - zpiracy fails.

RATING .. . FAIR. If you hear any creaking during the film, please don't complain to the movie op- erator, there's nothing wrong with the film, it's just Randolph Scott's tired old bones. SUNDAY . . . THESE WILDER YEARS

James Cagney and Barbara Stanwyck James Cagney returns to his home town in search

of his son whom he has not seen for 20 years. The son has been adopted and Cagney is unable to convince him that he would be better off with Cagney.

RATING . . . FAIR. Frankly we believe that you would have more fun attending the obedience training class for dogs over at the football field. MONDAY . . . ROCK. ROCK. ROCK

Frankie Lymon and Alan Freed Man. this is the utter end. a square like us trying to

describe something like this. Suffice to say the leather jacket crowd will crowd the pad (house to you).

Movies at 4th Marines

RA7TNG UNGH ... You can have it!!!! As for us, we are going to stay home and listen to our Guy Lombardo records. NOTICE ... There will be no rock- ing and rolling in the aisles. TUESDAY . . . HOT SHOTS-Leo Gorcey

NIGHT STAGE TO GALVESTON-Gene Autry No information available. It would seem that New

Year or not we are still going to have Gloomy Tues- days.

RATING . . . HORRIBLE. Like we said, some days it just don't pay to get up. WEDNESDAY . . . GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE

Fess Parker and Jeffrey Hunter Story of an incident of the Civil War. An effort by

the North to steal a famed locomotive used on the railroad which was the main link betweea the South's big supply base at Atlanta and the central front around Chattanooga.

RATING . . . EXCELLENT. Past experience has proved that anything that bears the trademark of Walt Disney is a welcome bit of entertainment. THURSDAY . . . MOM' DICK

Gregory Perk and Orson Welles A story taken from Melville's novel. This one way

done long ago and starred John Barrymore. All in- dications seem to point out that this is far better. Story of a whaling captain who is obsessed with the desire to kill a great white whale that had bitten off the Captain's leg in an earlier hunt.

h tTING ... EXCELLENT. We have been unable to find out what part Orson Welles plays in this but un- less he has lost weight since we last saw him it is reasonable to assume that he is playing the part of Moby Dick.

Marines, Packers Vie Here Tonight

The Hawaii Marines will be gun- ning for their 12th victory in 14 starts tonight when they take on the ComServPac Packers in a Uni- versity-armed Forces Invitational Conference tilt here at '7:30 p.m. in Hangar 103.

Capt. Ira Norfolk's Leather- neck quintet have led the conference in scoring since early in the season and in past weeks have made 100-plus tallies com- monplace in the varsity circuit. The Marines now lead their closest rivals, Barbers Point and SubPac. by three whole games. In their only tilt this week. the

Leathernecks topped Barber's Point 109 to 103 on the Pointers home court in a stand-up thriller.

Jim Stanley and company of the Pointers gave the Marines a hair-raising battle through most of the second half, as first one team and then the other earned the lead by 1 one or two point margin. At no time in the last half did either team have more than a seven point advantage. Leading 60 to 52 at half time, the

Marina hoopsters appeared des- tined to make it a down hill slide through the final period but Jim Stanley. hotter than a two-dollar pistol. chose to set a season scoring record by dumping 40 points through the hoop. Stanley leads the conference in point making with an average of 30 tallies per game.

The Leatherneck's Ron Perry, second in conference scoring this season. teamed with wheelhorse Ben Stewart to tally 27 points with Gary Earnest claiming 22 and veteran Al Shutts copping 16.

Bob Jester and Don Rennhack of the Pointers both broke 20 points with 25 and 21 respectively.

Conference standings to date are as follows :

W L Pct. Marines 11 2 .846 Barber's Point 8 5 .615 SubPac 8 5 .615 ServPac 7 6 .538 Univ. Hawaii 5 7 .417 Hickam 5 8 .395 Naval Base 1 12 .077

Face!ifting and Expansion Program Underway at Kaneohe Klipper Links

When the current expansiGn and renovation program at Kaneohe golf course is completed, the local links are expected to rival famed Pebble Beach Golf Club at Carmel, Calif., reputedly one of the most beautiful courses in the Nation.

"The only difference between this (Kaneohe Klipper) and Pebble Beach." says golf pro Jimmy Ukau- ka, "will be the size of the pebbles pair of drainage ditches: construe- . .. ours are finer." tion of hardstands around drinking

As one painting of out-of-bounds stakes: spokesman put it. "the job is going stenciling yardage figures on bench- ahead under a 'do it yourself' policy. with MCAS and 1st Marine Brigade personnel sharing the chore.

This 'do it yourself' spirit has already resulted in preliminary clearing of fairways for two holes on the back nine. plus grading of tees and greens. Equipment and personnel of 3d Bn., 12th Marines. working under.tLe personal supervision of their commanding officer, Lt. Col. James P. Rathbun. have bulldozed the fairway and green areas for the new fourth and fifth holes. it is reported. They are expected to begin work soon on holes 16 and 11. Lt. Col. Rathbun has made the equipment available as a training project for men of his command. Much of the added nine holes will

be constructed to seaward of th' existing course. it was revealed. with the new fourth and fifth holes in the Fort Hase area. When completed. the course will offer a greater variety of terrain than at present with some of the holes located in deeply wooded areas. other holes on the beaches. and still others in open areas.

The final result will. in the words of Col. Jack R. Cram. CO, MCAS, "be a very beautiful. sporty. and an unusual course but not so difficult as to prevent the average player from eraloying it." While construction of new facili-

appear here at the Kaneohe Golf Course Saturday. Jan. 19. at 1 p.m. has crammed enough color into his career to last most folks several lifetimes.

Born in Charlestown. S C.. Paul. sho stands just over six feet tall .end weighs 185. has journeyed s7ound the world. making a living with his golf sucks in such places as England. Scotland. Hol- land. France. Italy. Egypt. Bagh- dad. Bangkok. Hone Kong. Japan. the Philippines. Guam. Hawaii, Australia. Central and South Am- erica. Mexico. Canada. and the West Indies He has travelled over 300.000 miles in the past six years, setting enthusiastic receptions ever ywhere with his exhibition of links capers and smooth commen- tary of fine-edged humor.

Hahn's golf career began in Char- leston at the time Henry Picard was cutting a great swsth for him-

self on the national golf scene. Picard was the local pro and Hahn became a Picard worshipper. Losing little time in establishing himself in the game. Paul won his high school championship at the age of 14 and turned professional at 18. His first job was as a muni teach- ing pro in August. Georgia. where he was later to return to triumph as the hit of the famous Masters Tournament.

Aku-Marines By JACK FISHER

Some of the divers who frequent Neptune's kingdom maintain (with plausible justification) that the ocean boasts a counterpart for every living creature found on land. In some cases, the similarity is ill defined as in the leopard ray which resembles the beast of prey only in its familiar spots. In other cases, the comparison is well pronounced by both appearance and habits as in the case of tiger sharks. Be- sides wearing stripes and display- ing the savage teeth of its land cousin, the tiger shark shares a savage reputation for stalking its prey and- striking with lightning ferocity.

With varying degrees of likeness, the ocean zoo displays sea cows, sea lions. sea elephants and sea turtles. Then there are catfish, dog- fish, scorpion fish and parrot fish. The poisonous sea snakes observed hundreds of miles from land by members of HMR-161 when they participated in operations off Thai- land. bear striking similarity to varieties that wiggle through the grass on land, and anyone who has ever encountered the sharp painful barbs of a sea urchin can testify that no imagination is needed to link this marine animal to the por- cupine. Moreover. there are sergeant fish. prisoner fish and the uricorn fish whose counterpart ex- isted only in mythology.

CLUB M=rING NOTES: Once again the Aku-Marines are house hunting for a place to hold meetings. The old amateur radio station building, where members met on previous occasions, is scheduled to be torn down and all light fix- tures. furniture, etc, have been re- moved. For this coming Monday night's meeting, the club has been generously extended the hospitality of the Rod and Gun Club's building adjacent to the Crash Crew Boat House. Meeting time: 6:30 p.m.

MEETING-Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. in the Clubhouse.

According to Dick Woodworth. Territorial game supervisor. the bag of birds for the weekend pre- ceding Christmas. on the Big Is- land averaged out better than three birds per hunter. Dick says this compares very favorably, in- deed, with the Mainland average of less than one bird per hunter. MEETING-7 P.M. WEDNESDAY

Two Kaneohe hunting parties made out mighty well up Pohaku- loa way last weekend.

A bag of 10 sheep. 11 pheasant and "a few quail" was taken by Col. John Earle, his son. John: Lt. Col. Homer Hutchinson and Cants. E. King and Bob Sroufe. The sheep were taken up on the slopes above the saddle. while the hires were shot in the Waikii area.

Simultaneously, a group from "B" Co.. 4th Marines, found the shooting good down in the Horse Pasture area. Lt. Don Thomas, TSgt. Bruno Giacomelli. Sgt. Ralph Griffin, Cpls. Darrel Kanckeberg and John McLoed and Pfc John Boyd made up the group. Concen- trating on birds, the party bagged seven pheasants. 20 quails. both Japanese and California. and five

MEETING-7 P.M. WEDNESDAY Speaking of fishermen and their

luck, TSgt. Jack Woods had a har- rowing experience a couple of weeks ago surfcasting in the Ft. Hase area, Jack saw his rod jerked from its beach hole and dragged seaward. Lunging through the shallows after it. Woods recaptured the rod, only to be dragged off the reef in a 15 minute battle with a 331/2

pound ulna. He landed the fish-at the expense of foot and leg lacerations from coral that required sick- bay treatment. And-crowding his luck-he almost repeated the feat the following weekend. At that, time. he brought in a 28 pound ulua -without benefit of lacerations! Shouldn't be much question who'll take the Fisherman of the Month Award this month. MEETING-7 P.M. WEDNESDAY

Highlight of Wednesday's meeting at the Clubhouse across from the Crash Boathouse will be an address by Mr. Michio Takata and Mr. Kenji Ego, marine biologists from the Territorial Fish and Game Division.

how these doctrines affected Ma- rines of another day.

The President, in a personal appeal to Congress last week, asked for !..uppoi:, of a "hands off" policy warning that will make clear the United States will fight. if necessary. to prevent seizure of the oil-

1 rich Middle Eastern countries of ISaudi Arabia. Jordan, Iraq. Syria, Israel or Egypt-by either frontal attack or subversion

In another message to another Congress just 133 years ago, Presi- dent James Monroe asserted this country would tolerate no at- tempt by European powers to re-subjugate certain South and Central American countries that had recently revolted from Spain.

At almost the same time, the Russian Czar was laying claim to large tracts of real estate in the Pacific northwest. This, President Monroe said,

would also be looked upon very dimly by this nation.

Thus the famous "'Monroe Doc- trine" came into being.

While there was only one sub- sequent instance in which a foreign power attempted to move into this hemisphere. the Monroe Doctrine was later interpreted to mean that peace on the continent justified exercising police power if necessary.

Marines served in Venzuela, Mexico. Haiti. Cuba. the Domini- can Republic and Nicaragua as a result of this interpretation.

And 124 years after President Monroe's doctrine was established in 1823. another U. S. President presented to Congress a new foreign policy that was to be considered one of the most important ever made ny a U. S. President- and which was to have direct effect on the Marine Corps. This was the -Truman Doctrine"

of 1947. Specifically aiding Greece and

Turkey. in both financial and military assistance. the overall concept of the Truman Doctrine was to prevent the "will of the minority . . .

being forcibly imposed on the ma- jority through terror."

It promised immediate aid to democratic nations all over the world threatened by aggressives or in danger of political upheavel through subversion.

Three years later. a tiny Demo- cratic nation in the Orient was threatened. Korea.

And Marines were on the move again
