Hoover at West Branch did it "on an empty stomach." Ronald' Schaller of Quincy, 111., a member of the Fifth Army band, passed up dinner when the other musicians were served from a mess kitchen operated by the Davenport National Guard outfit. 'I don't care much for Army food," Schaller said, standing by one or tlie two buses which brought Ihe 67 men of the band from Fort Sheridan, III. "They're having hamburgers," Schaller was told. "No greasy foods, for me today," the young bugler replied. "I want to do this job right." Somebody mentioned that th bugle player at the burial of John F.

Kennedy had "goofed" during taps. "Yes," Schaller said, "they had that poor guy standing right next to the firing squad. He couldn't hear a thing after tlie first three volleys. There was no firing squad Sunday for Hoover, because it would have been inappropriate for the simple Quaker service which marked his burial. Schaller stood next to a group of young cedar trees behind and to the left above the grave.

His rendition of the final bugle call was strong and pure.
