Court martial of Capt. McVay unjustly public says critic
The author argues the McVay court martial over the Indianapolis sinking is unnecessary while the broader causes of the tragedy remain unsettled. He notes many lives were lost after three days at sea due to reporting and search failures, not during the initial sinking, and urges restraint until complete facts emerge.

Seniors forfeit diploma if enlisting before graduation
State Superintendent of Public Instruction informed Delphi High School that seniors who enlist in the armed forces before finishing their high school work lose the right to graduate and won’t receive a diploma. Deferments exist only until age 20, so credit for unfinished work is not required. The department would revoke a school's commission and funding if a diploma is granted prematurely. Cuba's area is 44164 square miles, larger than all other West Indian islands combined. The Army has developed a multiwall paper bag to keep bread fresh in various climates.
