over Korea.
The Par East
Air Force said
1st Lt. Armand

son of Mr. and
Mrs. L. E .‘Park
er of 1002 Bar

near Manila, the Philippines.
Lt. Parker telephoned his par
ents from the Philippine field
that “I never knew the strain we
all were under until I got away."
Trained as an F-86 pilot, Lt.
Parker had been flying the slower
F-80 Shooting Star over Korea.
During a recent attack on the
Sinujiu Chinese Communist air
base, Lt. Parker had his toughest
mission in the jet F-80, he said.
After blasting the air field with
rockets, his plane was attacked
from behind' by two Russian
MIGs, faster jets than his “vet
eraij" fighter. He had used up all
his ammunition in the ground
attack. i
Lt. Parker made a 360-degree
turn and “bent the throttle” to
make a successful getaway.
His decoration with the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross came
after a mission last November 28,
When he led his group in a
napalm bomb assault on a strong
enemy position and killed most
of the Red troops manning it, the
Air Force said.
A 1945 graduate of Anacostia
High School, where he was a cap
tain of the Cadet Corps, Lt.
Parker served three years in the
infantry and paratroops before
entering the Aii Force as a cadet
pilot in 1948.

Rollins College Head,
Ousted by Trustees,
Refuses to Leave
By th* Associated Press
• WINTER PARK, Fla., May 14.—
Dr. Paul A. Wagner of Rollins
College, voted out of office by the
institution’s board of trustees, to
day defied the ouster and declared
that he still Is president of the
college.
Dr. Wagner, 33, youngest col
lege president in the Nation when
he took office in 1949, was in
formed of the trustees’ action last
night as a climax to a lengthy
controversy over his plans to dis
miss nearly a third of the Rollins
faculty in an economy move.
"I am still president of Rollins
College and intend to remain so
unless legally removed by the
board of trustees,” Dr. Wagner
said. "I will be in the president’s
office as usual.”
Meeting Called Illegal.
Dr. Wagner said he was ad
vised by the attorney for the
school Raymer F. Maguire of Or
lando, that the April 27 trustee
meeting in New York was illegal.
At that meeting a majority, 11 of
the 21 trustee board members,
voted to lire Dr. Wagner.
"This illegal meeting was held
16 days ago and I received Sunday
night the first notice of the action
of these individuals,” Dr. Wagner
< declared. He added:
"Typical of the manner in
which these people have acted is
, a letter in which they indicated I
. had ceased to be president 10 days
! ago. Before taking this action
. they offered me $50,000 to resign.
' This was the third successive of
. fer I have ignored. They must
, have finally realized my principles
are not for sale.”
Halstead W. Caldwell of Winter
Park, a trustee who' did not at
, tend the New York meeting, said
announcement of the decision to
fire Dr. Wagner was delayed to
give him a chance to resign.
In making last night’s announce
ment, Mr. Caldwell said: "The
trustees voted to terminate Dr.
Wagner’s presidency because one
paramount 'fact became increas
ingly evident during the last
month of his administration. That
was that his services on behalf of
the college have not contributed
to the best interests of the insti
tution.”
The controversy began in March,
when Dr. Wagner announced that
in the interests of economy, 23
of the 75 faculty members would
be dismissed and intercollegiate
athletics dropped this fall. At that
time students, alumni and faculty
groups demanded he resign.
Art Prof. Hugh F. McKean was
named acting president by the
trustees, who also reinstated the
faculty members who had re
ceived dismissal notices and voted
to continue intercollegiate ath
letics.
