Founding of the marine corps on November 10, 1775, by ait of the Continental Congress and the proud marine heritage of tradition and achievement are being recalled this week as the traditional birthday celebrations are held throughout uhi-hn- This year, for the first time, the leathernecks are being joined in celebrations noting the 172nd anniversary of founding of the marine corps by the new, postwar citizen marine corps, the leatherneck reserve force which is being built ip throughout the country. From the Shores of Tripoli in 1804 and the Halls of Montezuma in 1817, marines have carried the American flag around the world. Their battle record In every conflict, beginning with the Revolutionary war and continuing through Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Iwo Jima, still indelibly carved in memory as World War II battle shrines, have earned for marines the tradition of being true to their motto of "Semper Fidelis Always Faithful. Always a "ready force," the marines have lived up to that reputation even in such varied postwar assignments ,as guarding historical documents aboard the Freedom Train, setting a new speed record for planes, training Venezuelan marines, demonstrating the latest amphibious tactics to midshipmen or cadets and serving as part of the occupation forces in Japan. To keep attuned with modern atomic warfare, the marine corps is undertaking a complete streamlining of its forces. Smaller but harder - hitting units are being formed which will have the flexibility and mobility needed for rapid movement. a nuisance-valu- e, lace but Walmight dream a up scheme li of political Planned For Luxury Trains CHICAGO.
