18 CbC ClatiOtt-LeOget Tuesday, May (, 197S Top Marines Resign i ft of Honor winner, to succeed Cushman. Cushman, whose four-year term normally would end Dec. 31, is known to have supported Anderson to follow him as chief of the Marine Corps. Rarely has a Marine commandant given up his post before finishing his full term. Cushman, who has had more than 40 years of service, has told newsmen that he would lose about $300 a month in retirement pay if he stayed on beyond Sept.

because of a technical quirk in the law. Anderson also would stand to lose the same amount, sources said. Unlike Cushman, however, Anderson is not serving any specific term. Jockeying by Marine factions always has been prevalent before a new commandant is named. But this year it was marked by special bitterness, in part because of a rivalry between Marine aviators and ground officers.

If Anderson had become commandant, he would have been the first Marine aviator to reach the top of the corps. Another factor believed to have figured in the outcome of the competition for commandant was a dispute over letters sent to some 70 Marine generals asking their views on who should succeed Cushman. WASHINGTON (AP) -Rebuffed by civilian leaders, the two top officers of the Marine Corps have asked for early retirement, Pentagon sources said Mondav. Gen. Robert E.

Cushman Marine commandant, and Gen. Earl E. Anderson, assistant commandant, have submitted letters asking for retirement July 1, the sources said. Secretary of the Navy J. William Middendorf is expected to approve.

The two generals acted less than a week after President Ford followed the recommendation of Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger and Middendorf and nominated Lt. Gen. Louis Wilson, a Medal PRESLEY PRESENTS PROCEEDS A check for $109,000 for victims of the Jan. 10 tornadoes in southwest Mississippi was presented by Mississippi-born entertainer Elvis Presley Monday night to Gov.

Bill Waller. The presentation was just before Presley took the stage to entertain about 10,000 persons attending the benefit concert at Mississippi Coliseum. MILLS Continued From Pg. i am relaxed. I haven't been relaxed for years." Mills said part of his treatment was training himself to live from day to day and that accordingly he was not talking about the past or future.

He was asked about his association with Fanne Fox, in real life Mrs. Annabel Bat-tistella, the comely Argentine who ran from his automobile into the Tidal Basin last October and with whom he appeared publicly several times thereafter. "It's not going on today he said. A reporter said Mrs. Bat-tistella had been quoted as saying she would like to marry Mills.

"I am married," Mills replied. "I am not going to commit bigamy." Mills said his wife Polly, had spent almost six weeks with him at the Florida institution. "I was getting lonesome, I wanted her there he said, adding that part of the treatment program involved having wives join their husbands in the institution. Mills described the treatment as one of group therapy, with psychological support from persons who have overcome their own problems, and encouragement of physical exercise. Several ways of main-taining sobriety are suggested, he said.

"I am going to maintain mine, if I do which I think I can by being active in the Alcoholics Anonymous program," Mills said. "I've made a commitment to live that way of life." He said he had attended an AA dinner in Washington Saturday, shortly after his return to the capital. Holding to his pledge not to talk about the future, Mills said he has not decided whether to seek another term in Congress, but thinks he will finish the present one. He was re-elected after the first public incident involving Mrs. Battistella and said his constituents "have been very understanding." Mills said he intends to be an active member of the Ways and Means Committee, but will not vote in the committee on the energy tax bill it is now completing, because he missed the testimony and discussions.

He said he refused an offer of a subcommittee chairmanship, adding "I am cutting back on my hours of work want to get out of some of these responsibilities, or I might be right back where I was." "I am not a man of steel as 1 thought I was," he said. Mills said that when he entered Bethesda Naval Hospital near Washington last year, before going to the Florida institution, he had been having blackouts that lasted more than a day and thought he had a brain tumor. Diagnosis showed here was no tumor nor any impairment of other organs, he said: "They told me there was nothing wrong with me that I couldn't push away in a glass." ELVIS But yet another, disappointed that the entertainer did not acknowledge his large turnout of fans, sighed, "Elvis still fills some kind of need that generations of his time hunger for. 732 Manthip Street PHONE 353-2727 craft carrying the rock and roll star, a twin engine plane came to a screaching halt on the runway. Elvis and three other passengers walked down the steps.

According to reports, Elvis was accompanied by Miss Tennessee and two of his agents. The crowd left the railing and flocked onto a nearby driveway, near a gate where a policeman assured fans Elvis would exit. "Get out of the driveway," the policeman threatened, "get on the sidewalk or else he'll go through another gate." In minutes, the dark blue Lincoln Continental sped through the gate, Elvis seated in the back seat wearing sunglasses. A once gawky, loose-limbed simple boy from Tupelo, now the highest paid entertainer in the world, appeared motionless. "Eeeeeeeeellllllllllvis," a woman screamed, "Did you see him? Did you see him," she asked her friend over and over.

"Fat, 40 and frivolous Elvis is still fabulous." Robinson at Raymond H4. PHONE 372-5623 MR. W. R. (BOB) WIENER 390 Woody Drive 11 AM Tuesday Baldwin Chapel Lakewood Memorial Park It was, she said, back in 1955, when they first shook hands, the "Colonel" told Elvis, "You stay talented and sexy, and I'll make amazing deals that'll make us both rich as rajahs." And so, she added, Elvis stayed talented and sexy, the "Colonel" made amazing deals, and today they are both richer than rajahs! As the crowd pressed against the gate, a father who had brought his three daughters to see the star, paced up and down the "I wish if that whipper snapper was coming he'd come," the man complained.

"I've got me things to do like go get me a hamburger I'm hungry!" "Why do I love Elvis," shouted a woman standing on the hood of her car. "Well, he's like Coca-Cola, Mickey Mouse and baseball. You can't explain it you just love him." Among the crowd several members of the Elvis Presley Fan Club of Mississippi loaded their Cameras with film. One club member had begun work early Monday morning preparing "Welcome Home, Elvis" signs and balloons at the Coliseum. Another woman, humming a verse from "All Shook Up," pulled a tattered and torn photograph of Elvis from her billfold.

"I've had it over 20 years," she bragged. "But now it's about all tore up." As the crowd continued to look up into the sky for an air SHOPLIFTING Sgt. Johnny Dickson, public information officer for the police, said members of the Jackson force would primarily be charged with traffic contol. However, a Clarion-Ledger reporter and photographer were escorted by Jackson airport police from the private landing strip, where the Presley plane landed, out the gate and outside the fence. The strip is located to the east of the entrance road to the municipal airport.

About 40 men from the highway patrol and the Jackson Police Department were assigned to the concert, according to Dickson. One law enforcement source said Parker requested only two uniformed patrolmen on each side of the stage. As the "Colonel" sat on the back of the car, his snow-white hair blowing in the breeze, he waited patiently and talked with officials from the Governor's Office who had also come to the landing strip to welcome Elvis. The Governor's Office, which arranged for the concert to benefit victims of the McComb tornado which lashed through the area Jan. 10 and killed several persons, estimated the tickets sales would produce $109,000, plus more for concessions.

As one woman in the crowd knelt on the damp ground peering through the railing with her binoculars, she recounted to her friend standing by her side, a story she recently read in a movie magazine. "The 'Colonel' and Elvis don't see each other much anymore, yet their had secretly arrived in the city Friday night and secured two floors of the Hilton Hotel. Other reports claimed the Mississippi-born star landed Monday morning at 7:30 at Thompson Field. The excitement upon Presley's arrival was in contrast to the relative quiet at Mississippi Coliseum Monday evening as thousands of fans arrived for the concert. Although multitudes were arriving, traffic flowed smoothly, and there appeared no commotion at all, at least outside the building.

There was much more electricity in the air Monday afternoon as fans crowded behind an iron gate about 100 yards from the landing strip, many of them peering through binoculars as they anxiously awaited Elvis. As the crowd lined the iron gate approximately 100 yards from the landing strip, many peered through binoculars and anxiously awaited for the star to appear. Many fans, some carrying cameras and binoculars, dressed in Elvis T-shirts and wearing Elvis "Welcome Home" buttons, had lined the gates since 2 p.m. As the minutes ticked by, the crowd was not the only group Elvis had kept waiting. Seated on the trunk of slinky gold colored Cadillac, parked on the'landing strip, a heavy-set man also waited for Elvis in the sweltering sun.

"Colonel" Tom Parker, responsible for arranging Elvis' concert, was also apparently responsible for the star's security. According to a spokesman for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, that organization and the Jackson Police Department were not responsible for handling any phase of Elvis' security. Continued From Pg. 1 Musical groups accompanying Elvis entertained for the first hour of the two-hour concert, which began about 8:30, while Presley came on for the last half. The response of the crowd was overwhelming, especially his singing of "American Trilogy" and the concluding "Can't Help Falling In Love." During the performance, numerous female fans given scarves passed out earlier by Presley manager Tom Parker ran to the edge of the stage to present them to Elvis and were given kisses in return.

The excitement generated by Presley's return to Mississippi was evident not only at the concert but at the Jackson Municipal Airport Monday afternoon when the entertainer arrived at a private runway. It laid to rest earlier rumors about the whereabouts of the "the man in blue suede shoes." A blue and white twin-engine plane with Presley and his party landed at 4:45 p.m. A crowd of 400 fans gathered outside the landing strip, adjacent to the municipal airport in hopes of catching a glimpse of Elvis Presley as he arrived for Monday night's benefit performance for Southwest Mississippi tornado victims. A roar went up from the crowd as the legendary king of rock and roll, dressed in a leather coat and carrying a stack of books, stepped off the plane. Only moments later he was whisked away in a dark blue Lincoln Continental, without even a smile or a wave to the crowd who had come to greet him.

But despite the obvious snub, the crowd cheered him on, waving and screaming "EEEEEEEeeeeeelvis! All Monday, rumors spread like wild-fire that Presley 4080 Highway 80 East PHONE 939-6110 MRS.

The prices of goods go up as merchandise is stolen. A manager of a store may have to pay money "out of his own pocket" for articles he cannot account for at the time of inventories. The manager who does have to pay for stolen goods "may be one of your Odom told youngsters. "One of the saddest things in the world would be to have to send your kids to Oakley or Columbia," Odom told parents who discussed reasons why their children shoplifted. In a separate room, youngsters viewed a film "Caught Shoplifting" which traces the consequences of shoplifting as two girls experienced them, including techniques used to apprehend shoplifters.

It is important for children to know where their parents are as well as for parents to know where their children are, he said. "Nowadays there seems to V5 PHONE 892-1521 be a lack of control of where children are going," he told parents. According to Odom, most children that are in the program have working parents. Some parents do not know where their children are at all times. Out of 15 parents scheduled to accompany youngsters to the session, only seven showed up.

"This is a learning process for your children," he said. One parent attending the session said she feels merchants are partially at fault for shoplifting. Even toddlers can reach some merchandise and take articles out of stores unnoticed by parents or merchants, she said. When the child becomes old enough to "know he may shoplift because he remembers how easy it was to get articles when he was younger. To those who did come, Odom gave suggestions on how parents can help their youngsters stop shoplifting.

The suggestion which seemed to stand out more than the others was for parents to designate duties to their children.
