Truman Promises Missouri To Stay In Active Service NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 4 (U.R) President Truman, gave "the crew of the battleship Missouri Saturday Satur-day the best possible present an official promise that the famed battlewagon will remain in active act-ive service. The president wei aboard the "Big Mo" primarily to give the ship a $10,000 silver service donated do-nated by the state of Missouri. But the big news to the Missouri's officers and men was the promise the ship will not be "mothballed.1 Mr. Truman's promise completely com-pletely scotched reports that the American navy, mightiest in the world, would be left without a single battleship. It had been reported re-ported the Missouri would be decommissioned to permit the navy to concentrate on anti-submarine warfare. Standing on the wind and rainswept rain-swept deck where the Japanese surrendered in 1945, Mr. Truman referred to the reports scornfully. He said he would like to know what "smart aleck" posing as a navv spokesman started them. "The Missouri w" not be taken tak-en out of commission," he said forcefully, "and I want that stated stat-ed as emphatic as I can make it, speaking as president of the United States." Mr. Truman, his family, staff and several Missouri friends sailed sail-ed from Washington to Norfolk aboard the presidential yacht Williamsburg. 5 White Men Surrender In Negro Slaying LYONS, Ga.. Dec. 4 (U.R) Five white men surrendered voluntarily voluntar-ily Saturday for investigation Into their alleged connection with the Rmbush murder of negro Robert Mallard. It was the first break in an investigation that "started two weeks ago when Mallard's bullet-riddled bullet-riddled body was found on a country road near Lyons. Tuske-gee Tuske-gee Institute classified his deatn as a lynching. No Formal Charges The men who gave themselves up were lodged in Toombs county jail although no formal charge have yet been placed against them. Sheriff R. E. Gray said no warrants war-rants will be issued against the five until and unless Mallard's widow, Amy, comes here from her hiding place at Savannah, Ga to swear them out. Aaron Kravitch, Savannah lawyer law-yer who offered his services to the widow indicated that Amy will leave her place of seclusion and make the trip to Lyons. She has been in virtual hiding since her husband was slain Nov. 30. - |
