Armed Forces Day parade Troops Off Without Incident

The Armed Forces Day parade trooped off without incident Saturday morning under cloudy skies before a light turnout of spectators in chilly 53-degree weather.

The parade, brightened by blue-clad "Flight Angels," a group of University of Wisconsin co-eds affiliated with the Air Force ROTC, began and ended within two blocks of the troubled Mifflin-Bassett St. area.

The parade route was changed to avoid the area after student residents protested.

MORE THAN 1,000 Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard reservists, marching and in jeeps and SeaBee vehicles, circled the Capital Square in the scheduled 20 minutes, starting at 11 a.m.

A few sprinkles fell during the proceedings as Mayor William D. Dyke and military dignitaries watched from the Wisconsin Ave. reviewing stand.

The 132nd Red Arrow Army national Guard Band, led by CWO Frederick Mott, played as the troops passed in review and veterans and youngsters in the crowd saluted the colors.

SOME CITY officials and Mifflin community residents had expressed fears over possible clashes between the reservists and the students, but no difficulties developed.

One young man walked around the sidewalk of the Capitol Square with makeshift bandages and a white cape with the words in red, "Americans have died for you Commies."

Stephen J. Nabholz, 5324 Winnequah Rd., Monona, and about a half-dozen others attended the parade with baseball bats.

A World War veteran, Nabholz said his oldest son was one of those arrested during the Mifflin area disturbances last week.

"If any of those clowns started anything, I would have protected myself," he said. "If they would have gotten out of line, I would have clubbed them."

There were no incidents.

About 500 University ROTC cadets and midshipmen, earlier, participated in the annual review and awards ceremonies at Camp Randall. Awards were given to 61 students.
