MARCH, 1965 The 14th consecutive season for the US Army's BIG PIC- TURE television program features a unique 13 week back-to- back series, within the series, which portrays the development and victorious roles of the United States Army from World War I to its present role in the Cold War. Entitled "Army in Action," the series is being written and directed by the best- selling novelist and veteran Hollywood screenplay writer, Norton S. Parker. The live footage, stock footage, art work and special effects needed for this type documentary film series is staggering. "Army in Action" is the most ambitious effort since the Frank Capra World War II classic, "Why We Fight," and will be narrated by actor George P. Gunn and Leonard Graves, re- membered for his narration of the award winning "Victory at Sea." The first episode of "Army in Action" describes the events leading to World War I and American participation in the "war to end all wars." The 13 fast moving episodes document the buildup of Fascism, Nazism and Japanese militarism ... the prelude to World War II. It continues with the story of how the United States girded to meet this challenge with the buildup of industry, labor and the military to make possible

MARCH, 1965 Special Forces, Ranger and Airborne soldiers may get their excitement from jumping out of airplanes or rappelling down sheer cliffsides, but consider the case of the military policeman at Fourth US Army headquarters in the historic quadrangle at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. During a normal working day, the military policemen may run into anyone or anything from an inquisitive four-star general to a call to stop a battle between two raging bucks. Battling bucks aren't the only combatants the military policemen have to contend with, according to SSgt Douglas C. Black, noncommissioned officer in charge of the quadrangle policemen. "The feudin', fussin' and fightin' peacocks and turkeys may start a full-fledged 'donnybrook' just any time ... and those beaks get pretty sharp." The quadrangle is home to an amazing collection of live- stock. Another task, says Sgt Michael Ross, is .. "keeping the wildlife inside the quadrangle. In the evening the gates are shut, but it's a pretty common sight during the day to see one SSgt Douglas Black gets together with Jim, a pure- of us herding a duck, deer, peacock or turkey back to the fold. white, pink-eyed albino buck living in the quadrangle. "Recently the big Fallow buck got out the gate. One of the boys was watching him when a colonel came up and asked a question. When the MP turned his back, the deer zipped right out. It took six military policemen two hours to catch him and get him back." During cold weather the military policemen must warn tourists to avoid the easily excitable deer. "Several weeks ago," says PFC Robert M. Crawley, "one of the bucks got Fort Sam Duty real excited and ran into the quadrangle wall and broke his neck. Probably the biggest potential for trouble in the quadrangle is contained in the tiny, tough body of Pedro, a colorful little Bantam rooster and a Fourth Army headquarters favorite, who Fowl or Fair seems to know just what is going on. Sergeant Black says he has traced Pedro's history back to 10 years in the quadrangle, making him the "ranking animal" of Fourth Army head- quarters. "Pedro obviously knows of his status," says PFC Richard Stahler. "I've seen General Jark (Lt Gen Carl H. Jark, former Say MPs Fourth Army commander who retired last summer) tell his driver to stop and wait till Pedro crossed the road. Of course, Pedro took his time getting across." "Pedro's favorite hangout," says PFC Bernie Paquette, "is the main gate leading into the quadrangle." There, he is first to see the tourists who sometimes bring breadcrumbs. He also gets the notion, every once in a while, that he'll just follow some nice tourist out the gate and the policemen are forced to Sergeant Black feeds Little Susie while her father, curtail his wanderings.

It's hard to look all "spit and polish" with a peacock feather sticking out of a collar or after being rumpled in a wrestling match with a couple of enraged deer. Yet the quadrangle policeman, says PC Peter Dian, manages to recognize most retired general officers from the San Antonio area on sight and to render the proper military courtesies. In addition, the military policemen assigned to the quad- rangle control traffic for ceremonies and provide security for conferences held in the Fourth Army headquarters. With all the responsibilities of the "modern Army" military policeman, he must be highly versatile and ready to handle each situation, whether it be "fowl or fair." But, as one MP summed up the situation after a buck had tossed him firmly to the ground, "It's all in a day's work." END

A high point in the training program for the fall semester was a session with Maj Alvin O. Hall, Military Police Corps.

MARCH, 1965 17 JOURNAL

The MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL serves to further the objectives of the MPA. The JOURNAL welcomes articles which stimulate interest, describe new concepts and doctrines, and provoke thought and comment. Published first in August, 1951, it has grown considerably both in size and stature. All members of the MPA receive the JOURNAL as part of their membership. The JOURNAL stresses the exchange of ideas, presents imaginative thinking and current developments, and, it recognizes outstanding achievement and items of historical interest. It keeps you in touch with professional opinion as INTERNATIONAL GOLF DAY well as with units and activities world-wide. The JOURNAL is a key activity of your MPA. International Golf Day is a world-wide charity, good will and community relations event sponsored and conducted by the MPA. Participants match golf scores against the first round score of the defending champion in each year's Masters Golf Tournament. Seventy-five percent of proceeds remain at each installation for donation to local charities. The remainder is applied against administrative costs. Some $80,000 has been given to charity in the program's eight years. IGD is another ROTC AWARD major activity of your MPA.

Annually the MPA awards the Provost Marshal General's Trophy to the outstanding ROTC MPC cadet at the University of Texas, the only school still offering a military police pro- gram. This award inspires competition and promotes pro- fessional development among future miltary police officers. It is a program designed by your MPA.

18 MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL PISTOL MATCH

The Provost Marshal General Trophy Pistol Team Match is an annual event conducted to promote excellence in the use of the military policeman's weapon. Fired in 1963 for the first time, the PMG Match was evolved by combining two similar programs conducted in previous years, affording added emphasis to the single match program. The event is world-wide in scope and all service police units, active, reserve and Na- tional Guard, are eligible to participate. The awards schedule provides team trophies and medals and certificates for win- AUSA/IACP ning teams and individuals. The PMG Trophy Pistol Team Match is another activity of your MPA. The Military Police Corps and the MPA are represented an- nually at two national conventions having direct bearing on the position of the Army and of the law enforcement profession. The first is a four man delegation, two officers and two en- listed personnel, sent to the Association of the United States Army convention. The second is a two man group sent to the annual meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. You and the MPC are represented at these important conferences by MPA members. MUSEUM
