McCarthy Suggests
MacArthur as Leader
Of 'Get Tough' Policy
By th« Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14.—What
this country needs, says Senator
McCarthy, is a "get tough” policy
and a man who could supply it
is Gen. MacArthur.
The Wisconsin Republican told
a cheering crowd of 4,000 last
night that America needs the kind
of 2-fisted diplomacy once exerted
by Theodore Roosevelt. He added:
“That is the kind we'll get if
we have a President cast in the
mold of Gen. MacArthur.”
Senator McCarthy spoke in Hol
lywood’s American Legion stadium
to a rally of “Americans for Mac
Arthur,” including more than 500
delegates from Western States
other than California. Onstage
with the Senator were Actors Den
nis Morgan and Adolphe Menjou.
Derides Present Diplomacy.
Senator McCarthy derided the
“perfumed letter diplomacy” of
the present State Department and
again lambasted two of his favor
ite targets—Secretary Dean Ache
son and United Nations Delegate
Philip C. Jessup.
"Acheson should sign his owr
resignation and get out. Senator
McCarthy shouted after recap
ping the case of John Service.
State Department Far Eastern
expert ousted a few nours earlier
as a “doubtful loyalty risk.”
A Washington Civil Service
Board ruled against Service, whose
activities came under scrutiny
after Senator McCarthy labeled
him a pro-Communist last year.
Reiterates Personal Plank.
Senator McCarthy reiterated
his own personal plank against
the State Department:
“I don’t give a tinker's damn
whether they are Communist card
carriers. We can judge them by
their attitudes as well as their
actions.”
He accused the administration
of “running a phony war in Korea
and staging a phony defense in
Western Europe.” He advocated
adoption of Gen. MacArthur’s
idea of bombing the Reds’ Man
churian bases and using Nation
alist Chinese from Formosa in
place of American troops in
Korea.
Lack of Manpower Cited.
He also said the United States
does not have the manpower to
defend Europe- -“those countries
must supply their own men. we
can supply the weapons.”
Senator McCarthy said he was
not speaking on Gen. MacArthur’s
authorization, but earlier he told
a press conference he thought the
Republicans might have a strong
ticket in Gen. MacArthur for
President and a younger man for
Vice President. Names he sug
gested were Harold E. Stassen,
Senator Bridges of New Hampshire
and Senator Dirksen of Illinois.

Santa's Arrival at Stadium Is Top Secret
When Santa Claus arrived at Griffith Stadium several years ago via parachute from a
helicopter, he was supposed to land on second base. Instead, he landed outside the ball park,
atop an apartment roof. The helicopter is shown here hovering above a group of substitute
Santas.
By George Kennedy
George Preston Marshall, the
6-foot-2 impresario of the Red
skins, was at Griffith Stadium
last night, conducting a rehearsal
of the Christmas show he will put
on between halves at the final
game against the Pittsburgh
Steelers on Sunday.
How he will introduce Santa
Claus is one of the best guarded
secrets outside the Pentagon. In
past years, Santa has arrived at
the stadium by helicopter, by
parachute, by train and once in
a toy automobile. There have
been a number of Santa Clauses
—an ex-paratrooper, a fat man
and a small man (to fit into the
toy car'.
Askpd why he didn't take the
leading role in the show himself,
Mr. Marshall insisted he has been
playing Santa Claus in this town
for 15 years.
Counting the members of the
band, there will be about 150 in
the cast—a real American Christ
mas party, with Indians, singing
and hoopla.
Recalls Previous Stunts.
Dick McCann, who has the job
of being press agent for Mr.
Marshall (a man who needs no
help in keeping himself constantly
in the newspapers) fell to remi
niscing last night about past ar
rivals of Santa Claus.
The crowd was most amused
by the arrival of Santa in the
toy automobile. It was based on
the standard circus gag of 20
clowns emerging from a tiny car.
At the ball park, Santa stepped
out and then began pulling large
boxes out of the car (collapsible
boxes) and the final gift he pro
duced was a live girl—full grown,!
of course.
But the biggest excitement
caused by the arrival of Santa|
Claus did not occur in the ball
park. The show was given away
—for free—to neighbors of the
stadium, and the crowds in the
stands missed it. That was the
time Santa attempted to para
chute to second base.
"This paratrooper.” said Dick,
"had us all sold he could land on
a dining room table. But just to
make sure he'd hit the park, we
used a helicopter instead of a
plane. The helicopter was to
hover over the park a bit to the
windward for the boy to make the
jump.
Santa Berates Pilot.
"The pilot of the helicopter must
have read his instruments wrong
I could see there was something
wrong the minute Santa jumped.
Santa was shaking his fist at the
pilot, and I was glad he wasn't
wearing a walkie-talkie as we had
originally planned. The crowd
would have heard what he was
calling that pilot, and that would
have been awful.
"I could see Santa start working
the shrouds in an attempt to make
the field. Instead he seemed to be
dropping on the crowd in the
stand about the 50-yard line on
the east side of the field.
"I remembered that a para
chutist lands with the force of a
man jumping off a 10-foot wall,
and I hoped the fans would be
able to get out from under. I
could see a beautiful liability suit
in the making.
"But Santa went right over the
press box next to the big tepee and
disappeared. We had a substitute
all rigged out in his Santa uni
form, and we rushed him out on
Lhe field. When you’re in the
football business, you know the
value of substitutes. Most of the
crowd thought the Santa in the
parachute was a dummy, his arms
waving in the wind.
Cops Take Santa Away.
“Santa landed on the roof of a
house just east of the park with
a thump that made every one in*
side think the place was going to
cave in. The house was occupied
by colored families, and witnesses
said about 30 rushed out—about
20 of them kids.
“The kids looked up. and there
was Santa sitting on their roof
trying to get untangled from the
shrouds of the chute.
“'He is awfully early.’ said one
kid. It was Sunday, December 1.
“Then the motorcycle cops came
screaming around the corner, si
rens going to rescue Santa, and
what a rhubarb that was. Santa
clambered down off the roof and
the cops started to take him away.
But the kid? thought the cops were
arresting Santa, and they put up a
big howl.
"Fortunately, the new defense
regulations won't let us attempt
any more stunts like that.’’

Flyer Hangs On to Plane's Tail
In Wild Ride Around Airfield
By fhe Associated Press
BATTLE CREEK, Dec. 14.—
Frost-bitten Lloyd Bowen classi
fied the 10 minutes he spent on
the tail of a spinning small plane
yesterday as his most harrowing
experience—and he was a gunner
on a B-29 Superfort in World
War n.
Here’s whai happened:
Mr. Bowen, 39, landed his two-,
place single-engined Cessna at
Kellogg airport and started taxi
ing toward a hangar. The engine
conked out in the 7-above-zero
cold. Mr. Bowen alighted to spin
the propeller by hand and get the
engine started again.
It started with a roar and al
most chopped Mr Bowen down.:
He wrapped his arms around the
irudder as it passed and held on. •
but the plane didn’t stop. He
forced the rudder to the side,
making the plane run in a circle.
Finally, after 10 freezing, dizzy
ing minutes, the spinning plane
w'as spotted by the airport tow'er. ;
A crash truck speeded up. Two
: attendants jumped off and grabbed
| the tail with Mr. Bowen, who then1
let loose and ran to the cockpit,
forcing in the thottle he'd left to<
far out in the first place.
Caked with snow and ice whei
he got off, Mr. Bowen got first ait
for his frostbitten face and ears
He also got a bruised leg.
Airport authorities said th<
engine was running around 2,00<
revolutions per minute during ib
wild but controlled spree. At thai
speed, they said, the plane, with
out a man’s weight on its tail
likely would have taken off ant
possibly crashed into hangars 01
nearby homes.

Zoo Will Try to Breed Rare Whooping Cranes
By th« Associated Press
. j AUSTWELL, Tex., Dec. 14.—
i Crip and Jo, members of that
near-vanished breed, whooping
[ Cranes, no longer are free today.
[ they are headed for life in ai
New Orleans zoo.
The mates had the freedom of
i the United States Wildlife Refuge
here. They couldn't fly away
' because of permanent injuries.
' The Wildlife Service yesterday
'turned the birds over to the zoo,
which will attempt to breed them
in captivity. The cranes hatched
one egg at the refuge here but
the offspring apparently was
killed by a predatory animal.
Another egg was ruined by a high
tide.
Only 27 whooping cranes are
known to exist. They winter here.
Once the flocks were huge.
