It was on Sunday, April 8, that the 31-year-old drill instructor led a platoon of 74 raw recruits on a night disciplinary march into the tide-swept waters of Ribbon Creek. Six were drowned.

Ser geant McKe ons Fate: ito | PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. (AP)--If] Defeice lawyer Emile Zola Ber- man has contended all along that the night march "to teach discip- line" was carried out in the best traditions of marine training. Puller, winner of five Navy Crosses and the army's Distin- guished Service Cross, told the court in his fog horn voice: "Success in battle--that is the only marine objective." Puller was asked by Berman, "What is the most important ele- ment of training?" Growled Puller, "I'll quote Na- poleon: The most important thing is discipline. Without discipline, an army becomes a mob," Puller, like Pate, said he did not consider the night march led by McKeon as oppression of re- cruils and added. that drill structors had a wide latitude in the instilling of discipline in re. cruits.

NO REACTION There was no immediate offi- cial reaction from Moscow to the Big Three proposal. Moscow radio carried the Western dec- laration without comment, But a spokesman for the West- ern diplomats said the conference would be held whether or not Egypt and Russia attend.
