PABBIS ISLAND. S. C H i'.
Marine Sgt. Matthew C. McKe.in'-;
(i'fense was permitted today ,to:
pr k!uce evidence at his man j
slaughter court martial thai
vere night marches into the
swamps and tidal streams at this
depot had W on a practice of train-
ing leath -rneck recuits.
Navy Capt. Irving N. Klein, pre
siding as judge at McKeon's trial j
on charges that his action led to
the drowning of six recruits in the
salty wateis of Ribbon Creek, ttil- j
ed that evidence about that type of
training will be admitted regard-
ing charges that McKeon oppressed
troops under him and charges of j
involuntary manslaughter as a re- i
suit of the oppression.
An eailier witness on this fifth
day of McKeon/ trial testified
that the sergeant was an "out-
standing drill instructor" who was
working with a ""mediocre" pla-
toon at the time of the April 8
tragedy.
Victory for Defense
Klein's ruling was considered a
victory for the defense which has
argued throughout the court mar-
tial that long night marches were
customary at Parris Island—part
of the program it takes to turn a
soft civilian into a marine tough-
ened for battle.
Klein ruled that such evidence!
must be confined to practices "un-
der the same and similar circum- ■
stances" as those that prevailed
when McKeon led 74 members of
a lecruit platoon into Ribbon I
Creek to "teach them discipline."!
Six ol th£ recruits drowned, and
national attention has been focus-
ed on this resultant court martial
as it has on no other since the
famed trial of Billy Mitchell.
Claimed Not Unusual
Klein's ruling came in the ab-
sence of the seven officer court,
all of them veterans of marine
combat. The court had been ex-
cused while the defense and pros-
ecution argued the question of the
materiality of testimony about
such training methods as marches
which are not listed in the train-
ing manual.

(By UNITED PRESS)
Traffic safety was added to the
list of issues in the governor's
race today.
Sen. Price Daniel said in Wich-
ita Falls that if he is elected he
will call safety officials togethei
to "set in motion a thorough, long-
range plan of accident prevention."
It is time that a concerted ef-
fort be made to reduce traffic
slaughter with a common-sens-
approach to the highway safety
problem, he said.
Other candidates, Ralph Yar-
borough, W. Lee D'Daniel, J. J.
Holmes, J. Kvetts Haley, and Reu-
| ben Sonterfitt also were on the
move for votes.

The former House speaker fired
back an answer saying he was

last. All three issues will be placed
on the July 28 primary ballot.
Haley Lashes Washington
Daniel told audiencps on his
tour of Wichita Falls, Vernon,
Electra and other area towns he
wants the record bared to convict
the corrupt in high office as well
as clear the innocent.
Again calling for a clean cam-
paign, he ; warned listeners that
"persons conducting a dirty cam-
paign cannot be depended on to
do a clean job in office."
Haley campaigned between
Houston and Sun Antonio, lashing
out at "Washington tyrants who
are shipping our tax money whole-
sale to Commnm'st Tito and neu-
tral Nehru with no strings at-
tached."
He will speak to supporters in
San Antonio tonight.
