Retiring Marine cites China pullout as regret during 28 years
Col. James J Williams, in San Diego after a 28 year Marine career, says the 1949 withdrawal of U S Marines from mainland China allowed a Communist victory and that staying might have kept Chiang Kai-shek's forces from falling. He flew Chiang Kai-shek and met Secretary of State George Marshall, earning the Legion of Merit. The article also notes a San Francisco priest, Msgr John Scanlan, leaving the priesthood to seek marriage, awaiting Vatican permission.

Nixon pressured release cited in Cabley case
Evansville attorney Howard Truckman said notoriety and pressure prompted President Nixon to act politically and free Lt William Cabley from the stockade. He also sought similar treatment for Pie Samuel Green earlier, who was convicted on five counts of murder and placed in a stockade. Green’s appeal was pending. Truckman said he wrote Nixon in October asking for Green’s release pending appeal and received a Navy reply denying the request on grounds it would be inappropriate while appellate review proceeded.
