When he was drafted into the Army, Walter wrote President Truman for permission to keep his long hair. The Army, after due deliberation, agreed not to dis-kes him. Last week, as a basic trainee at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Walter was absolutely the only private in the U.S. Army with hair 37 inches long.
