Tokyo Police to Honor 2 Life-Saving Marines
Tokyo —(UP)— Two Marines were identified today from a fuzzy news photograph as the Americans who helped save several lives in a holiday mob panic at the imperial palace gates.
The two, Pfc. Mike G. Pitts 19
of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Pc. Wally
S. Glassmeyer, 20, of Perkasie, Pa.
will be honored by Tokyo police.
With only a blurred news photograph as a clue, police and Marine officials spent three days looking for the young servicemen who plucked dying and injured women and children from the panic-stricken crowd, gave first aid, and helped police restore order when more than 300,000 broke through police lines in a frenzied stampede that killed 16 persons and injured more than 60.
Tokyo metropolitan police chief, Eiichi Tanaka, will give them scrolls of appreciation at a ceremony in police headquarters tomorrow. Pfc. Pitts said the crowd, which broke into wild disorder while trying to see emperor Hirohito extend New Year's greetings to his people, "was about the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life."
The two Marines said they fought their way to safety through the panicky mob and carried five persons each to safety. Six of them died, however.
He and Pfc. Glassmyer were knocked down in the first rush as the celebrants were being funneled into the palace grounds across the narrow bridge which spans the palace moat.
"We started giving what first aid we could," one said. "We could not do much there, but we loosened their clothes and gave artificial respiraion."
The Marines, both stationed at Camp McNair near Mount Fuji, also helped police reestablish a breeched cordon to control the crowd.

Fort Madison, Iowa—(U.P.)—A convict-edited publication at Iowa State prison today condemned the "vicious and sadistic" Greenlease kidnapping but urged that the notorious crime should not be used to cripple or abolish the parole system.
Parole Defended; K.C. Kidnaping Hit
Convict Lee Sweeney, associated editor of the magazine, Presidio, wrote in the January issue:
'I believe every man serving time in America when this crime was committed has nothing but contempt for those persons involved and hoped they would 'get what was coming to them.'
"But I also believe that all men who think sane will agree that this man being a parolee had nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not he would ever have planned and committed this crime."
Carl Austin Hall, who with Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady, kidnaped and slew Bobby Greenlease at Kansas City, Mo., last year, was a parolee from a Missouri prison.
"Parole should and can be made to work for the mutual benefit of society and the prisoner," Sweeney wrote.

Vatican City—(U.P.)—Pope Pius X will be canonized a saint of the Roman Catholic church in a public ceremony in St. Peter's square May 29, 1954, it was announced today.
Canonization of Pope Pius X Scheduled for May 29 Rites
The following day, Sunday, May 30, a solemn mass in honor of the new saint will be celebrated by a member of the Sacred College of Cardinals, with Pope Pius XII in attendance.
Pius X was Pope from 1903 to 1914. It was also announced that six other persons who have been beatified, a preliminary to canonization, will be proclaimed saints and canonized in June. The six most likely will include beatified Father Pierre Chanel of France and five Italianans.
The canonization of Plus X is the first major ceremony announced for the Roman Catholic "Little" Holy Year, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is the climax of a long process which began just after the death of Plus X at the outbreak of World War I.
The ceremony will be held outdoors, in vast St. Peter's square, to accommodate the throng of pilgrims expected to attend the first canonization of a Pope in 242 years. The last Pope so honored was Pius V, canonized May 22, 1712.
In order not to fatigue Pope Pius XII, who will be 78 in March, the normally five-hour canonization ceremony will be reduced to three hours and a cardinal instead of the Pope will celebrate the pontifical mass afterward.
