From the Coral Sea to Korea, he used the stuff. And today, his nod—or a shake of his head—can be the final word on many a weapons system.

Today at Martin an entirely new principle of aircraft design and development is in operation, tailoring airpower to this man's needs.

It is known as Martin Systems Engineering. MSE is a method of weapons systems development which now makes possible aircraft, guided missiles and electronics weapons designed not as traditional flying vehicles... but as fully coordinated and controlled spaceborne systems which are the direct result of operations problems.

The following five biographical sketches outline the successive steps by which five individuals each in his own time and in his own way achieved preeminence. All five are alumni of the Naval Academy. Each one was nominated by his own classmates.

T o get a true evaluation, Shipmate mailed a form letter to several members of the Naval Academy Classes of 1884, 1894, 1904, 1914, 1924, 1934 and 1944 and asked the following question—"Today, looking back over the years since your graduation from the Academy, which one of your classmates (living or deceased) do you consider as having brought the most credit to the Academy and the Naval Service.'" A self-addressed postcard was enclosed for nominations.

Shipmate now presents the selections.

N o reply was received from the three surviving graduates of the Class of 1884.

Joseph M. Reeves, Class of 1894, who stood 38 in his class of 47 graduates received a majority over three other nominees.

William F. Halsey, Jr., who stood 43 in his class of 63 graduates was unanimously nominated by members of the Class of 1904.

Edward L. Cochrane, Class of 1914, was selected by a majority over five other nominees. His standing at graduation was second out of a class of 155.

Hanson W. Baldwin of the Class of 1924, who stood 228 in his class of 523 graduates, won by a majority over four other nominees.

Richard H. O'Kane was selected by a plurality over eleven other nominees. He stood 264 out of a class of 426 which graduated in 1934.

Apparently, insufficient time has elapsed since graduation to bring the achievements of the members of the Class of 1944 into sharp focus. There were about as many nominees as there were ballots. ^

JOSEPH MASON REEVES Class of 1894 Joseph Mason Reeves, who served his country for almost half a century on active duty, was chosen by his classmates as the officer best qualified to represent the Class of 1894. Admiral Reeves won his wings at Pensacola in 1925, at the age of 53. He was the first airman to become Commander in Chief, U. S. Fleet.

As an administrator, the Admiral was unexcelled in naval affairs. He served almost continuously from 1894 until retirement in 1946—yet, in 1909, he narrowly missed being surveyed out of the Service because he could not pass the walking test required of all naval officers by President Theodore Roosevelt. Reeves fell short ten miles of the prescribed SO-mile hike. Fortunately for the Naval Service and the country-at-large, the Retirement Board reconsidered.

He also was on the varsity crew, whose captain, Winston Churchill, later became famous as an author. Both cadets were members of the Eating Club. Another classmate was David Foote Sellers, who was manager of the Navy crew.

Upon graduation as an engineer, young Reeves served in the battleship U S S OREGON, which made the famous cruise from the West Coast around the Horn to the Caribbean. On that occasion he was advanced four numbers in his grade and commended "for displaying eminent and conspicuous conduct in managing the machinery of the vessel . . . as to cause the

WILLIAM FREDERICK HALSEY, JR. Class of 1904 William Frederick Halsey, Jr., wartime Commander of the famed Third Fleet, was voted the most eminent man of the Class of 1904. Fleet Admiral Halsey personifies the ultimate aim of every Naval Academy graduate: to command with distinction the Naval Forces in the defense of the Republic.

The great leadership and aggressiveness of Admiral Halsey were projected into every unit of the vast fleet that he commanded. His fearlessness and determination plus tactical skill were vital in victory—and won him the title of "Bull."

After the war, he made a 28,000-mile trip through Central and South America on a goodwill tour. A self-styled "traveling salesman" for the United States, the President referred to him as an "Elder StatesWilliam F. Halsey was born in Elizabeth, N. J., on 30 October 1882, the son of the late Capt. William F. Halsey, U S N , Class of 1873, and Mrs. Halsey, the former Anne Masters Brewster. He attended St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., and the University of Virginia before entering the Naval Academy. He was a member of the varsity football team, playing fullback, and was awarded the Thompson Trophy Cup as the midshipman who had done the most during the year for the promotion of athletics.

During World W a r I, he was ordered to Destroyer Force based on Queenstown, Ireland, where he had temporary duty in the U S S DUNCAN before assuming command of the U S S BENHAM and the U S S SHAW. For his services as commander of

the last two destroyers he was awarded the Navy Cross.

In 1922, Halsey was appointed Naval Attache at the American Embassy in Berlin. The following year he was assigned additional duty as Naval Attache in Christiana, Norway; Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden.

mander, Aircraft, Battle Force, with additional duty as Commander, Carrier Division 2, with the YORKTOWN his flagship.

He was serving in that command with his flag in the U S S ENTERPRISE when the

Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The carrier was returning to Pearl from delivering planes at Wake Island when news of the attack was received. Planes were launched in a fruitless search for the fleeing enemy.

On 1 February 1942, in the first offensive war in the central Pacific, Admiral Halsey's force consisting of the ENTERPRISE

four

heavy

cruisers, one light cruiser and ten destroyers made a foray into the Gilbert and Marshall Islands. On the 24th the ENTERPRISE, two cruisers and seven destroyers shelled and bombed Wake Island which had been in enemy hands since 22 December 1941.

For outstanding performance in the Gilbert and Marshall raids, Admiral Halsey was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. He also received a facsimile of, and is entitled to wear the Ribbon for, the Presidential Unit Citation awarded the ENTERPRISE—the first carrier to be so honored. In the first year of the war the carrier and her air group—exclusive of destruction of shore installations—sank or damaged a total of 35 Jap vessels and shot down 185 Jap aircraft.

For meritorious services during the early period of that command, Admiral Halsey was awarded a Gold Star in lieu of the second Distinguished Service Medal. With the occupation of Emirau Island in the spring of 1944, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the W a r Department, the citation reading, in part: ". . . having created and integrated, wellknit combat force through his superior leadership, personal guidance and strict adherence to the sound principles of unity of command, Admiral Halsey used this powerful striking force with such vigor and determination as to crush the Japanese garrison on certain South Pacific island groups and isolate enemy forces in others. The Army forces . . . were splendidly cared for and were able to accomplish the combat and logistic missions assigned in the most effective manner."

On 15 June 1944, Admiral Halsey assumed command of the Third Fleet, and was also designated Commander, Western Pacific Task Forces. Beginning in August his forces left a trail of enemy ruin and destruction in the Palaus, Philippines, Formosa, Okinawa and the South China Sea, inflicting greater loss upon the Jap fleet than had ever been suffered by any fleet.

On 13 September, Halsey made urgent recommendation for the revision of the campaign plans and for the early landing at Leyte which resulted—as the late President Roosevelt later announced — "in a complete change in the campaign plans for the Philippine Invasion."

During the period of 24 August 1944 to 26 January 1945, when the Third Fleet was engaged in supporting the Western Carolines and Philippine Islands operations, 4,370 enemy aircraft were destroyed, 82 combatant ships sunk and 372 auxiliaries and miscellaneous shipping sunk—against the loss in combat of 449 planes and the light cruiser PRINCETON.

prised the greatest mass of seapower ever assembled in the history of the world.

Fleet Admiral Halsey was awarded a second Gold Star in lieu of the third Distinguished Service Medal for operations from 15 June 1944 to 25 January 1945, and a third Gold Star in lieu of the fourth Distinguished Service ^Medal for operations in waters off the Ryukyus and Japan from 28 May to 2 September 1945.

On 13 .A.ugust 1945—after the Fleet had ridden out a heavy typhoon—Admiral Halsey's final blow against Tokyo was started; two days later the cease fire order was received.

Great ovations rang out across the country, and personal presents were given the Admiral—a $2,000 silver-encrusted, handtooled saddle from the Reno, Nev., Chamber of Commerce, in which the Admiral might ride Emperor Hirohito's white horse through the streets of Tokyo. Citizens of Tucumcari, N. M., purchased a white horse especially for him—if the Emperor's horse wasn't available, and a sailor in the Aleutians made an expert pair of spurs for the ride—"and would like to be there to saddle the horse for you."

On 1 September 1945, the formal surrender of the Japanese Imperial Government was signed aboard the U S S M I S SOURI, where the four-star flag of .\dmiral Halsey and the flag of Como. Matthew C. Perry, that flew on his mission to open trade with Japan 92 years earlier, were hoisted.

That fall, the .\dmiral returned home.

Following his initial appearance at the Navy Day celebration on the West Coast, he was honored at a great parade in New York City, where hundreds of thousands lined the streets in the bitter cold . . . in Philadelphia, in his old hometown—Elizabeth City. He rode in honor as the grand marshal at the Tournament of Roses.

On 22 November the .Admiral hauled down his flag on the SOUTH DAKOTA, re-

linquishing command of the Third Fleet.

At his own request he was relieved of active duty in December 1946, "to let the young fellows take over," and went on the retired list on 1 March 1947.

Fleet .Admiral Halsey has the Mexican Service Medal; the Victory Medal, Destroyer Clasp; the American Defense Service Medal, Fleet Clasp; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal; the Philippine Liberation Campaign Ribbon. .\lso the Gold Cross of the Chevalier of the Order of the Savior, presented by the Government of Greece; the Insignia, A\ Merito, First Class, and Diploma, by the Government of Chile; and he was made an Honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire by the Grovernment of Great Britain.

On his goodwill tour of South America, he received awards from Cuba, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and Brazil. He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Washington tJniversity of St. Louis, Mo. Fleet -Admiral and Mrs. Halsey spend much of their time in New York City.

Their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Preston Lee Spruance, live in Wilmington, Del., and a son, William Halsey, 3d, also served during World War II. A namesake of the Admiral is his grandson, William Halsey Spruance, now about the age of the Admiral who wrote Major William McKinley a letter back in January 1897 when he was 14 years old. Young Halsey was asking for an appointment to the Naval .Academy, explaining that his father was a naval officer but "as you know naval officers have not much influence," but added that "the presidents are generally willing to give their appointments to a naval officer's son."

The letter to the President was written before his inauguration—in those days, 4 March. Even then, William F. Halsey knew what he wanted. And he has fulfilled his destiny.

EDWARD LULL COCHRANE Class of 1914 Edward Lull Cochrane, who directed the Navy's vast shipbuilding and maintenance program during World War II, was voted the top man by 1914 classmates—who will recall that he was graduated with distinction from the Naval .Academy, standing second in his class. Today, he is the newly appointed Vice President for Industrial and Governmental Relations of Massachusetts Institute of Technology' in Cambridge, Mass.

Vice Admiral Cochrane, U S N (Ret.), was appointed Chief of the Bureau of Ships with the rank of Rear .Admiral on 1 November 1942, a post he held throughout the war. For his outstanding achievements during this time—in which the U. S. Navy became the greatest seapower in the history of the world—-.Admiral Cochrane was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.

The citation read, in part: "For exceptionally meritorious service to the Government of the United States in a duty of great responsibility . . . an administrator of foresight, judgment and extraordinary professional ability. Vice Admiral Cochrane achieved distinctive success in his sl<;illed direction of the design and construction of a vast number of vessels, many of new and revolutionary types, during a period of critical urgency. Inspiring in his subordinates his own high standards of accomplishments in the performance of exacting duties, he was directly instrumental in enlarging the United States Fleet and in fitting it out for combat at a rate unprecedented in the history of Naval warfare. . . ."

On the first anniversary of V-J Day, 13 .August 1946, .Admiral Cochrane announced the plan of the Navy to use atomic energy in two channels—for guided missiles and ship propulsion. He then predicted, "We can already see the outlines of a new era in sea power. The Navy of the not too distant future may be quite different in appearance and will be sul)erior in offensive and defensive power to the Navy which crushed Japan."

T h r e e years after graduation he was appointed an Assistant N a v a l Constructor and served t h r o u g h o u t W o r l d W a r I in the H u l l Division of the Philadelphia N a v y Y a r d . In 1920 he received the M a s t e r of Science degree in N a v a l Architecture at M I T , then r e t u r n e d to Philadelphia where he was in c h a r g e of construction of two battle cruisers and later in charge of repairs. In 1929 he was technical adviser to the United States Delegation to the Conference on Safety of Life at Sea held in London.

A s the years passed, Cochrane's sense of responsibility deepened and his knowledge of ship design grew.

H a n s o n W e i g h t m a n Baldwin of N e w Y o r k City is the man selected as outstanding in the Class of 192'!—although his value to his country is not as a naval officer but as a newspaper man. In 1943 he received the highest honor in A m e r i c a n j o u r nalism, the Pulitser Prise, for his reporting from the battle areas in the Pacific.

Since 1942 he has been Military Editor of the Nno York Times.

If a stranger should meet Captain O'Kane, U S N , in rela.xed moments off duty, he might not connect the quiet, unassuming man with the naval hero that he is. Dick O'Kane never talks about his months in a prison camp or the innumerable medals bestowed upon him for his daring and grit. He likes nothing better than to be with his family, to hunt and fish with them, and dreams of the day when he will retire on a farm—preferably a walnut farm. He likes to do things himself; once he made a trailer. He is an individualist who thinks things through to an inevitably correct decision. Captain O'Kane has the strength of his own convictions.

Captain O'Kane was personally awarded the Navy Cross, Gold Stars in lieu of the second and third similar awards and the Legion of Merit with Combat "V." The fifth and final war patrol began on 24 September and ended a month later off Formosa. She had just fired the last two torpedoes in an attack on a convoy with the first running true to the target. Apparently the second was malfunctioning and returned to hit the stern of the TANG. She sank immediately.

From the commissioning of the U S S WAHOO on 15 May 1942, until July 1943, O'Kane was Executive Officer of the submarine that sank and damaged thousands of tons of enemy shipping in Japanesecontrolled waters.

Nine men survived the sinking, including O'Kane, with a Jap patrol boat picking them up the following morning. They were interned in various prison camps where they underwent incessant questioning, torture and solitary confinement.

Captain O'Kane, then Commander, was among those interned at the secret prison camp Omori near Tokyo where he was not registered. Until his liberation he was listed "missing in action."

Before the TANG went down, a rescue of 22 pilots shot down during carrier plane attacks on Truk had been effected in late April, with the submarine under heavy fire from close range shore batteries.

After being evacuated by air to Pearl Harbor and hospitalized, Captain O'Kane was transferred to the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, N. H. In April, 1946, he was given command of the Mare Island Group of the Pacific Reserve Fleet, with additional duty as commanding officer of the USS PELIAS. During the fall of '47, he testified at the War Crime Trials in Tokyo.

After completing a course at the Armed Forces Staff College at Norfolk, Va.; Captain O'Kane was Officer in Charge of the Submarine School at New London. He next commanded the USS SPERRY, and is now Commander Submarine Squadron 7. based at Coronado, Calif. He is married to the former Miss Ernestine Groves of Chapel Hill, N. C , and has two children, Marsha and James.

Captain O'Kane has been awarded medals in addition to those mentioned: the American Defense Service Medal, Fleet Clasp; American Campaign Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with one silver star and three bronze stars; the World War II Victory Medal; the Navy Occupation Service Medal, Europe Clasp; the National Defense Service Medal, and the Philippine Liberation Ribbon with two bronze stars.

That the naval officer has given beyond the call of duty is evidenced in the citation that accompanied the Medal of Honor, presented by President Truman in ceremonies at the White House on 27 March 1946: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as Commanding Officer of the USS TANG . . . boldly maneuvering on the surface into the midst of a heavily escorted convoy, Commander O'Kane stood in a fusillade of bullets and shells from all directions to launch smashing hits- on three tankers, cooly swung his ship to fire at a freighter and, in a split second decision, shot out of the path of an onrushing transport, missing it by inches.

"Boxed in by blazing tankers, freighters, transport and several destroyers, he blasted two of the targets with his remaining torpedoes and, with pyrotechnics bursting on all sides, cleared the area. Twenty-four hours later, he again made contact with a

"In defiance of the enemy's relentless fire, he closed the concentration of ships and in quick succession sent two torpedoes each into the first and second transports and an adjacent tanker, finding his mark with each torpedo in a series of violent explosions at less than a thousand-yard range.

"With ships bearing down from all sides, he charged the enemy at high speed, exploding the tanker in a burst of flame, smashing the transport dead in the water and blasting the destroyer with a mighty roar which rocked the TANG from stem to stern.

Dual Employment, Compensation Affirming Temporary Appointments Personnel Changes Retirement Income Tax

by Fred Lardner, '22 Efforts to increase the attractiveness of military service are building up, with additional important bills scheduled to be introduced in this 83rd session of Congress and a big effort to have the 84th Congress enact bills which are not enacted this year.

Congress can act rather fast when it wants to. As of mid-May, however, it has had little to act upon. This 83rd session is scheduled to last into early August, but might well last until the end of .August.

The delay in introduction of the military personnel legislative program is not the fault of Congress. Senator Leverett Saltonstall (Rep., Mass.) and Representative Dewey Short (Rep., Mo.), chairmen of the Senate and the House Armed Services Committees, have indicated on several occasions that they are aware of the need to improve service morale and have suggested that the Defense Department give them a program to work on. Even the House Appropriations Committee, which in recent years has tended to lessen service morale with riders to Defense Department appropriations bills, have shown awareness of this problem. In their report on the 1955 appropriations bill, the committee expressed the hope that the department "will soon be in position to present to the Congress its recommendations for legislative or other action which would tend to strengthen this phase of our national security."

But the Defense Department can hardly be accused of delay in this matter. Military personnel legislation has been delayed partially by supposedly more important nonmilitary legislation. The Bureau of the Budget, which approves or disapproves all legislation involving expenditure of Federal funds, has had much to consider this year.

Ahrends Bill

The President has signed the Ahrends bill, H R 7103, called the Officer Grade Limitations Act of 1954. This law should prove a real tonic for naval officers in grades of commander and below, for it promises them advancement in much the same regular way as legalized by the Officer Personnel Act of 1947. The bill seeks to impose limitations which would prevent unwarranted and unlimited promotions of officers in the higher grades, but it will permit reasonable career planning.

The bill reinstates the 20-year retirement privilege. Data indicate that during the period 1920 through 1950, less than one per cent of naval officers with 20 to 25 years of service elected to retire. It is agreed, however, that the 20-year retirement privilege is much more important than this data might infer, since it gives 12

Dependents' Medical Care

The introduction of S. 3363, the Armed Forces Dependents' Medical Care bill, will be highly opportune provided it is enacted this year. Since June 30, 1953, the Army and the Navy have been reducing the number of their officers, including doctors. The number of doctors at some naval installations has already been reduced, and the final reduction may be from 8 doctors per 1,000 personnel to 3 per 1,000.

The bill provides uniform practices for treatment of military dependents. Types of

However, the only government pay bill which has a chance this year is the Administration's proposal, providing for only slight pay increases.

Two cost-of-living pay increases are pending in committees, one by Rep. Bob Wilson (Rep., Calif.) and the other by Rep. James Van Zandt (Rep., Pa.). The Defense Department probably would go along with such bills if Congress shows any sign of approving them.

This is a bad year for government pay raises, however, since it appears Federal S H

it would still bar higher-ranking retired officers from Federal jobs.

The Defense Department would like to make some changes in pay scales. Twenty years ago, one official said to this writer, an enlisted man could expect to increase his pay more than 10 times before he retired. About the same thing was true of officers. Now military personnel can increase earnings only about two to four times. This lessens incentf\'e. The department doubts the feasibility of trying to widen the spreads between pay.

On the other hand, Reserves retired under Public Law 810 and Regular, Reserve and temporary officers retired for physical disability are not subject to this limitation.

This bill may be approved by the Defense Department. But it is of little help to the career officer, and in effect constitutes another slap at him.

Because of the difficulty of getting any place with a pay bill the department is concentrating attention on improving compensatory benefits in lieu of pay.

Survivor

Benefits

-A survivor benefits bill for active duty personnel is expected to be introduced this year. It has been cleared by the Defense Department for consideration by the Bureau of the Budget.

As we understand this bill, it is based largely on recommendations of the Kaplan Committee studying Federal retirement programs. The basic requirements of this bill were announced over a year ago.

Monthly benefits for unremarried widows, child or children, and dependent parents of active duty personnel would be equal to 80 per cent of the first $100 of basis pay the principal was receiving at time of death, plus 20 per cent of the balance.

All members of the Armed Forces would be placed under Social Security. This would mean more retirement income upon reaching age 65 (this age may be reduced to 60), and more survivor benefits protection.

Federal Employment Compensation Act payments, which now go to survivors of Reserve officers in amounts ranging up to $500, would be discontinued.

Secretarv of Defense Wilson has approved this bill. Some perfecting amendments may be added in Congress.

Public Law 346, recently enacted, provides that active duty officers with 18 years of service have until November 1, 1954, to elect an option under the Contingency Options Act of 1953. The time was extended to give these officers additional opportunity to study the plan.

Dual Employment, Compensation

For the retired career officer, statutes limiting or literally preventing dual employment and the receipt of dual compensation are causing much hardship, since officers are barred from accepting Federal jobs because of them.

Related to this subject are the so-called conflict-of-interest statutes, which make it difficult and often impossiljle for a retired officer to accept employment with a private firm doing business with the Federal Government.

Action to amend these laws is pending.

The question is how beneficial such action might be.

The Post Office and Civil Service Committee is now considering a bill, H R 4723, to simplify and consolidate the laws relating to the receipt of compensation from dual employments under the United States, and other purposes. This bill limits the total of dual compensation to $6,250. This limitation about doubles the present limitation on receipt of dual compensation, but J U N E ,

"Work

Simplification"

P a m p h l e t Issued by BuPers

Ship and station officers are always interested in effective manpower use. To assist them, the Personnel Analysis Division of the Bureau of Naval Personnel has recently issued copies of NavPers 18359 titled Work Simplification for Navy Units, Procedures and Use. A thin little pamphlet, its worth may be overlooked in the mass of professional reading that comes across the desk of a naval officer.

If you thumb through NavPers 18359— and you should, by all means, do so—you will be struck by the clear presentation in the many charts. Then, as you start reading the text, you will begin to see that there is really something to the idea of work simplification.

You have, of course, actually applied work simplification methods. Here, in this pamphlet, however, you will be given many more ideas and suggestions as to making work easier and simpler with a resultant saving of time.

The ideas you gain from the pamphlet will assist you in your continuing efforts to perfect the work of your ship or station —and the methods are equally valid regardless of the number of men you have under you.

Work Simplification for Naval Units, Procedures and Use points out that, although the program is directed to all command personnel, the primary emphasis is on division officers and petty officers.

800-foot Skyscraper a t Annapolis Transmitter Tower Nears Completion

FULL HONORS FOR SECRETARY OF NAVY. . . . Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson (front row, left) returns a 19-gun salute fired in his honor at the Academy before reviewing the Brigade at a dress parade. Standing in the reviewing party with Secretary Anderson are (on die front row, 1. to r.): V. Adm. C. Turner Joy; Mr. E. V. Richards of New Orleans, president of the Navy League of the U. S.; SecNav-designate Charles S. Thomas, who relieved Secretary Anderson May 1; Under SecNav Thomas S. Gates, Jr.; Assistant SecNav Raymond H. Fogler, and Assistant SecNav for Air James H. Smith.

An 800-foot "skyscraper" going up under Navy contract at the Naval Radio Station just across the Severn River from the Academy is nearing completion. The slender steel framework of what will be one of the most efficient radio transmitter towers in the world has been rising steadily— sometimes at the rate of 40 feet per day— since construction began last March.

proximately 3J^ inches in diameter. Eight 850-foot guy lines keep the tower rigid.

The guys are galvanized steel bridge ropes \y% inches in diameter stressed at 95,500 pounds of tension which will support the tower safely.

Nine miles of steel girder will have gone into the giant spire. The girders will be secured by a total of 11,026 bolts.

When it is operating, the tower will be "hot," with up to 90,000 volts of electricity flowing through it. It will be grounded by 240 thousand-foot-long cables radiating in a circle out from the base. Each cable is buried six inches underground.

Steeplejacks working on the tower are hoisted to the top by a cable rig nicknamed a "headache." They work in almost any type of weather with the exception of electrical storms and heavy winds.

Although Radio Annapolis is not to be the site of the highest transmitter tower ever built, this one will rank with the tallest man-made structures in the United States.

Distinguished Guests at the Academy Since the May issue of Shipmate was published the following distinguished personages and groups have made official visits to the Academy:

M e m o r i a l Rooms Dedicated To N a v a l A c a d e m y Grads Two Academy graduates, both of whom were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, were honored with the dedication of Memorial Rooms to their memory in Bancroft Hall. The two officers are 1st Lt. Baldomero Lopez, USMC (deceased), Class of 1948-A, and 2nd Lt. Robert Dale Reem (deceased), Class of 1948-B. The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd, made a brief address dedicating the memorial plaques bearing the citations of the two Marines.

These plaques will be permanently mounted outside the rooms occupied by Lieutenant Lopez and Lieutenant Reem while they were midshipmen. Those rooms will be known as the "Lopez Room" and the "Reem Room." The rooms dedicated to Lieutenants Lopez and Reem were the 18th and 19th so dedicated to Medal of Honor winners in Bancroft Hall.

He snatched up his steam gear and struck out on the return trip to Melville Hall this time. When he stepped into the classroom that his section normally occupied, he didn't recognize any faces there. "Section 224, sir?" he asked the prof. Nope, section 424.

Then the answer struck him. Sure, it was a double period all right, but the second period was seamanship, not steam. Off he flew again, all the way over to Luce Hall.

Luck was finally with him. His company was in a Loran drill, the room was dark, and he took his place without being noticed.

It was only second period and he had already had his workout for the day.

We thought a "trip around the world" was just something you read about the plebes doing in an old book about the Academy. Apparently that is not the case.

A member of the fourth class came aboard the table about a month ago with his log and reported that he was the USS Nix on his second week of a trip around the world and further that he was not due to hit home port for two more weeks. He had been given the comparatively short round the world tour however. All he had to do was tie up and refuel on one table from each company of the Brigade. The mystery about the whole case was that he didn't even know why he had been sent on cruise.

Someone suggested that perhaps he had been a chow hound, but that lead didn't seem to pan out. The plebe stated without reservation that he enjoyed foreign ports a great deal more than his own home port.

That might have been an indication as to why he was on cruise.

And speaking of tying up and refueling, we wonder where old "Fox Charlie" Johnson is nowadays. That was one of his favorite expressions. As a matter of fact, he was so salty that he called his fiancee his wife-striker. Another old salt out of the fleet that we know was standing around in A-C Motors lab one day watching while two of his associates did all the rigging. The teacher came up and made some point about the fact that he should be pitching in with the rest. The old man of the sea's reply was, "Well, sir, I figure that I've got to train my strikers."

With that we'll strike another "Spindrift" off the books and say so long for two more fortnights.

tors Association luncheon held at the Commissioned Officers' Mess.

Fred P. Laudan said that the original Flying Fortress was conceived as the result of a conversation between Boeing and Admiral Reeves, who expressed the thought that a "flying battleship" should be built.

The Kitsap County's Armed Forces Day visitors saw the first pubHc view of the Navy's $60,000 model of the carrier USS SHANGRI-LA, that is almost completed.

The 20-foot replica, scaled one-fourth inch to the foot, is 90 per cent complete in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard's pattern shop, after 16 months' precision workmanship. It is patterned after the actual carrier—that is in a far less complete stage of modernization.

The latest of the Navy's miniature fleet will be exhibited at the Seattle Museum of History and Industry in June before joining other model craft at the Bureau of Ships. A scale model of the USS H A N COCK is now being made at the P S N S .

Capt. Barton E. Bacon, Jr., administrative officer of the shipyard, has new orders as deputy chief of staff for the Commander of Far East Naval Forces, with headquarters in Japan.

O N THE RECORD

June Week is underway in historic Annapolis, and once again Naval Academy quarters are full of guests—as well as homes in the nearby community. Cars continue to go the wrong way on the various circles, and parking is at a premium. Drags are prettier than ever, and the midshipmen are exceptionally spry — particularly the first classmen.

Things are buzzing all over the country, however. At Norfolk, Va., camera crews from the CBS-TV networks filmed portions of "Lantaglex"—largest training exercise held by the Atlantic Fleet Amphibious Force for some time. The film will be shown on the Edward R. Murrow T V show, "See It Now." This joint Navy-Marine operation involved more than 80 Navy warships and some 60,000 Navy and Marine personnel.

Designed to increase the combat efficiency of participating personnel, it involves all phases of air-sea warfare including air defense, minelaying, minesweeping and gunfire support. The climax is a full-scale landing assault by combat-equipped Marines against "Aggressor Forces" at Onslow Beach, N. C. Adm. John J. Ballentine, who first tested the famed Norden bombsight in 1924 and led naval aviation from "flying crates" to supersonic jets, retired from active naval service.

An ovation of 173 planes of old and new Navy aircraft, trailed by dirigibles, gave a final salute to their chief during ceremonies held on the flight deck of the carrier HORNET at the Norfolk Naval Base.

Admiral Ballentine relinquished his command as Commander Air Force, Atlantic Fleet, to V. Adm. Frederick W. McMahon, formerly Commander Fleet Air, Alameda, Calif.

In Washington, D. C., Commanders W. B. Durant and D. J. Garrison collaborated in a seven-under-par-best-ball of 65 for an all-Navy victory at the Army-Navy Country Club's two-man medal play handicap tournament.

Nearest to the leaders was the Army tandem of Colonels F. W. Hallagan and C. H. Pottenger with 34-34-68.

Special tribute was paid to R. Adm. John Dale Price, Chief of Naval Air Training at Pensacola, Fla., who is retiring from active service.

The tribute was paid during Navy Appreciation Day scheduled 12 May as a preFiesta of Five Flags event.

In Annapolis, Md., the Naval Engineering Experiment Station will hold an Open House on 25-26 June, in honor of its 50th anniversary.

Back in 1903, $400,000 was appropriated

by Congress to construct the station and test laboratory after a stiff fight for funds headed by R. Adm. George W. Melville.

T h e response of the class to our invitation to ally yourselves w i t h the more than 7,500 members of this organization has been most gratifying.

The percentage w h o have joined and who w^ill receive Shipmate each month is sufficiently high to insure your having this ready medium for the dissemination of class news through these early years in which yoiu" permanent class organization is becoming stabilized. W e will publish all news of the class as received, but please keep in mind our deadline which falls on the seventh of the month preceding the date of publication (June 7 for the July number). Photographs of class groups are particularly desired for publication and please inform tis promptly of all changes of your address.

Members of the class w h o are not members of this Association will, through their failure t o receive Shipmate, soon lose touch with your activities in general and an especial effort should be made by you w h o are members to encourage t h e others to join and keep in line.

Otu" best wishes to each of you for success in your chosen career; may this, your Association, be privileged to render you any assistance for which we may be called upon both now and in the future.

Pop Koenig wrote me details of the West Coast dinner in San Francisco on Satiirday, 5 June, at the Marines' Memorial Club. This information was published previously in Shipmate and in the class bulletin mailed early in February. A full account will be published in the next Shipmate.

Young Jimmie Deem (James Mason Deem, I I ) is now an aviation cadet. He flew from San Antonio, Te.xas, recently to participate in funeral ceremonies for General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

John Donelson's younger son, Samuel, was bom at the Naval Hospital, San Diego, on 18 October 1938, on which date Harold Train's oldest granddaughter, Joan Hathaway, was born in the same hospital.

John Saxer's wife, Marie, died on 12 April. She had been in poor health for about two years. She is survived by John and John, Jr., who is a freshman at Notre Dame.

Pop Shreiner is featured in an article in the Saturday Evening Post, 24 April 1954, entitled "The School That Came From Nothing." It tells about how Pop became a clergyman and without a dollar founded the Church Farm School for kids from broken homes.

Clarke Wells' wife, Julia, died in her sleep at their home in Sarasota, Fla., on 15 April. They had no children. She was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery.

I had a nice letter from Pete Boucher, who has retired from the telephone company and is living in Montara, Calif., POBox 74, where he owns a home. He says he is writing the story of his adventure in Pago Pago, Samoa. Says they have a spare bedroom if anyone wants to visit them.

CLASS O F 1920 H A S 35TH R E U N I O N The Class of 1920 held its 35th reunion in Annapolis over the weekend of 7-9 May with headquarters at Alumni House.

Reasonably good weather prevailed throughout. Eighty-eight classmates and 69 wives and guests participated in the varied activi-

Chapel services on Sunday and a final rendezvous, hosted by the Annapolis group at the Greers' home in St. Margarets and attended by 111 classmates and wives, provided a grand climax to the festivities.

Optional interludes included tours of the Naval Academy and historic Annapolis, waterfront cruises and sailing, and baseball and lacrosse games. Telegrams and letters poured in from many who were unable to attend. These were written up and passed around, or, in the case of late messages, were read off by Paul Nibecker, our class chairman, during the reunion dinner. Considerable interest was voiced for a plan of completing our refurbishing job in the hallway of Alumni House, and this was announced as a possible project in the future.

All hands present agreed that our 35th was the best ever, and great credit for its success goes to Doij Osborn for his tireless efforts and to our Annapolis classmates and their wives who constituted the reunion

committee and who carried the load and put it across so well.

So our "Back for More in '54" slogan came true in every way. And as our classmates and wives took their leave for home, there was born a new cry of "We'll Be Back in Time for '59."

Zero Reader and pilot "stick shaker" device to automatically warn about possible stall are just a few of added safety features. Trainer combines jet combat performance with maximum operational safety. Easier to fly than simple propeller-driven trainers.

F l R S T R O U N D - T H E - C L O C K flying radar station in the world is this Lockheed Early Warning Aircraft (designated WV-2 by Navy and RC-121C by Air Force). Huge 600-gallon tip-tanks extend radar-laden Super Constellation's range. Plane carries more scientific equipment than any other known aircraft—some six tons of electronics. Bottom radome, the size of a swimming pool, is largest plastic part ever built. Although it is held to plane by only 10 bolts (no metal ribs), radome is built to withstand aerodynamic pull of up to 60,000 pounds. Super Constellation's three-tail design insures aircraft controUabihty despite air-flow disturbance created by protruding radomes.

F R A N K COWAN writes to us from Peekskill, N. Y., where his address is R F D 2, Crom Pond Rd. and Ricks Lane.

R A L P H E. W I L S O N changes his address to Com. Cru. Div. Three, F P O San Francisco.

T H O M A S J. KI-RKLAND J R is living at 4020 University Dr., Coral Gables 46, Fla. The San Diego group of '24 cannot claim the honor of "the youngest child"—• yet—but we would like to emphasize that we think we have the closest-knit group of the class we know about! For the past couple of years the gang has met at one home or another each month as close to the 24th of the month as is feasible and we have a grand time—even all of the wives like each other!

The latest such gathering was an all-day affair when Capt. and Mrs. A. M. Hurst entertained the group at the CO's quarters on April 24. Golf "in the front yard" for those who wanted it, refreshments at any

time and barbecued steaks in the patio at 2 p.m.

Those present were Capt. and Mrs. "Count" Wolosky and daughter, Alice, Mr. and Mrs. "Pete" Dunn, Capt. and Mrs. "Rube" Benton and son, George, Col. Glenn Newman (Ret.), Cdr. and Mrs. Frank Deam, Mrs. Don McLean (Don was in the hospital for a checkup), Capt. and Mrs. "Dutch" Shultz, Capt. and Mrs. A. B. Dickie, Capt. and Mrs. Jack Opie, and Cdr. Will Hays ( R e t ) .

We all plan to keep up these monthly get-togethers, so if- you are iri the San Diego area, give one of the above a buzz and we'll tell you when and where the next one will be. The May gathering-of-thegang will be at the Deams in Coronado.

Shipmate closes its June edition before we can get in our report on the 30th-Year Reunion, held in Annapolis May 21-23, with every indication pointing to a large attendance.

It is not our policy to air our class financial affairs in these pages, but it would not be candid to overlook mention of the good response made to our request for contributions toward the cost of publishing the Directory of Manpower Available to Industry by those who were listed in its pages. The treasurer reports that 77 contributions had been received by May S, and there was reason to believe more were on the way. The enterprise did require a sizeable payment from our funds, but the Directory merits it. We hear that other classes will issue similar publications. Red Sylvester, the "spark-plug" of the secondcareer idea, has been in demand as a writer, speaker and helper for those who intend to use a directory.

The Class of 1924 monthly luncheon on the 24th of the month, long established in Washington, is now taking hold in other cities. In New York, monthly luncheon meetings on the 24th are being held at the Military and Naval Club, 4 West 43d St., at 12 :30, through the efforts and direction of Wilbur Mellon, Sugar Morrill and Josh Shively. The initial meeting of this group

was held on April 23 (the 24th being Saturday) with the folowing present: Carney, John Cullen, Dalton, Ganahl, Gibbons, Horsch, Kalisch, Kennaday, Lankenau, Lovejoy, Mathews, Mattucci, McLaughlin, Mellon, Miller, Mills, Morrill, Shively, Siegrist, Walker, Whalen and Boyd Wilson.

In Honolulu, Joe Lillard writes, the 1924 lunch on the 24th of the month is also estabHshed, and has practically a 100% attendance made up of Kanakanui, Landstreet, Parker, Longfellow, Viewig, Mcllhenny, Lillard, Holbrook, Herlihy and Eckberg.

Interest continues in our contest of father of the youngest child, and F R A N K COW A N is still title holder, although the title seems to change fast. T O M M Y GRIFF I T H writes in about "the diaper derby" and wants to know how he places with his son, Charles P., being born October 23, 1951. Well, our records indicate Tom is now fourth, and we are going to refer to this contest in the future, if you don't mind, as "Father of the Year," in the interest of dignity, and to assure that the secretary gets informed of each claimant of the title. All hands please cooperate.

We are always looking for ideas for using this column to best advantage, and DOC COOKE comes up with a good one.

He thinks our own kids, when away from home, might enjoy meeting each other, and thereby establish friendships of mutual benefit. Doc, by the way, has been a grandfather since July 1953. His son is with the Board of Education in Cleveland, Ohio, at 1291 W. 103d St. Doc's daughter, Mrs. William E. Hale, is also living in Ohio: 1008 Dorothy Lane, Dayton, Ohio. Who else has sons or daughters in Cleveland or Dajrton? Doc Cooke, by the way, is still with Hyde Windlass Company, Bath, Me., as V P .

Well, at the University of Connecticut, at Storrs, Susanna Siegrist is finishing her second year and living at the Kappa Alpha Theta house there.

GEORGE R E I T H is on duty with the Joint Amphibious Board at Little Creek, and is practically making a "second career" of the Navy. His Wall Street career was interrupted by W W II, and he came back to duty as an ensign in 1940. He is now a Reserve commander on active duty, and expects to remain on duty a few years more. R U F U S R O S E ( R A D M ) is his present boss.

"Please keep my name on your mailing list," writes J. J. W O O D W A R D . And why not? Woody is running the Peninsula Advertising Agency at Newport News, Va., and can demonstrate to us that "it pays to advertise."

BOB W A I D is still in Spain, he and A D O L P H O S W A L D continuing to hold down the 1924 fort at Madrid. Please note Bob's address is Apartado 45, Madrid, Spain.

F R E D D I E BELL really has a job these days as executive V P of the National Automobile Dealers Association, says JACK BOLTON, who was in New York enroute to the reunion. Jack produced a newspaper photo of our own Fred addressing 600 motor car dealers of southern California and laying down the law on the dealer who may imperil the industry by automobile "bootlegging." Well, in 30 years there certainly has been a change in the bootlegging commodity. Remember the Gordon label of the'20's?

Bill Schoech was looking fit again after a siege in the hospital. Bill Searles remains in the hospital, although he is feeling better and looking better.

Slipping silently through ocean depths, our Navy's newest submarines, like t h e U. S. S. WAHOO, guard our shores and shipping from possible enemy undersea craft. The superb crews in these submarines depend on General Motors Diesel engines and G M Diesel-Electric Drive to help them do their job.

The G M Diesels in these submarines are only about one-third the size and weight of engines of comparable power previously used. And GM Diesels also power 61 other classes of Navy ships.

Still no news op the Twenty-Eighter.

Vic Cole himself has been in the hospital.

He expects to publish in June.

At the Twenty-fifth Reunion, certain ladies of the class spearheaded a drive to finance a "Class of 1928 Bed" at the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen's Club in Washmgton. Collections were made from the people on the spot. Subsequently, a minimum maintenance charge of $15.00 a year has been underwritten, chargeable to the class treasury. The first year's mamtenance payment has been made. This is a very worthwhile group serving military personnel on leave in the Washington area.

The class will derive much satisfaction from having perpetuated its name through this worthy cause. Vi Rittenhouse and Mary Urquhart, assisted by Laura Cole, put this show across.

P-S.—The Hannegan grandson chided your reporter for misrepresenting his sex in last month's Shipmate.

Among the fifty couples attending were the Sam Browns who have recently arrived in Washington, and Lewis and Nancy Coxe who came up from Annapolis where Lewis occupies the quarters of Public Works Officer at the Academy. Regular class luncheons at the Gun Factory will continue to be held on the second Wednesday at least through June, and may continue through the summer since the air-conditioned club is a welcome respite from Washington heat.

During the past winter there have been two very successful square dance parties for teen-age children of our class. Bill and Lollie McCormick, Brute and Amy Krulak, and others worked on these affairs. Our class has been invited by the West Point Class of '34 to designate a member for the board of governors of the Armed Services Cotillon. This group has been run for the last 10 years by West Point '24 and puts on a series of dances each winter for service juniors of senior high school and college age, midshipmen and cadets. The class council will consider this invitation and plans to appoint a representative for the coming year.

The more than 60 members who have already sent in their $10 checks for the 20-Year Book should have them back— cancelled—by the time this is in print. A bank account has been opened in the name

of the "20-Year Book Fund—'34,|' and more checks and biographies with pictures will be welcomed by Butch Harbold at 129 Spa View Ave., Annapolis. Please make your checks out to the fund and not to Butch or the class treasurer (with children going to college, neither of them can be trusted!).

F . T. T H O M P S O N submits the following : The response to our request for donations for the class memorial has been most gratifying. SuflScient funds have been received to make the final payment on the class memorial and to provide a small administrative fund for the new executive committee when it is organized. We have received a total of $510 in contributions to date.

A tabulation of ballots received indicates that the class as a whole approves the proposed class constitution. The vote count (as of 17 April) is as follows: 85 members approve and 5 members disapprove. Three members have suggested minor changes in the constitution.

It is hoped that the new organization will result in more active doings for our class and preparations for our 20th Reunion. The class constitution, as ratified, is published herewith: CONSTITUTION OF THE CLASS OF

WASHINGTON NEWS OF

1937

Tempus fugited again; it's always doing that; nevertheless the Class of 1937 met for its monthly luncheon at the Army-Navy Country Club on April 9, 1954, with 29 stalwart members present.

This meeting was diflferent in view of the newly tried innovation of having some of us describe briefly what our duties consisted oL Frank Patriarca all too briefly mentioned some of today's problems in carrier design. Willie Mack tried to foresee the future two years away when '27 becomes eligible for captaincy. What kind and how long will tours of duty be for the fledgling captains of '37?

-A. vote was taken as to whether we should continue such a program at the luncheon meetings and the response was in the affirmative.

Tom Adams, Stumpy Baker, Pinky Baer, Dave Bell, Bernard Bieri, Bill Brinkloe, Tom Cunningham, Dave Dressendorfer, E. C. Finney, Si Filippone, Swede Hansen, John Johnston, Stretch Kelley, Charlie Meigs, Johnny Nielson, Jeflf Norman, Squire Pridmore, Frank Shamer, Henry Sipple, Levick Street (presiding as chairman of the Washington area and S H I P M A T E

master ot ceremonies), Walt Stencil, Jack Wadleigh, Rex Wheeler, Rivers Alorrell, Guy Narter, Tommy Pearsall and Dick Ball complete the list of those present for the gathering.

Dick Ball was a transient here in Washington. He and Althea are located in Pascagoula, Miss., where Dick is on duty with SupShips. Their home address is 721 E. Shepard Ave. They have a boy, Richard Henry, 13, and a girl, Althea Virginia, 9.

Slowly but surely the addresses of 1937 are accumulating and will become more up to date. About two weeks ago I saw Charlie Dodds in Annapolis. He has received orders as Exec of the GREENWICH BAY and leaves shortly to assume his duties.

Missy is expecting to take the children over there via tramp steamer, but that must be worked out a bit more before the departure.

One can never tell what two naval officers will end up doing. During Charlie's visit with his father-in-law, Capt. Weems, he and Capt. Weems acted as bovine midwives. Time 2300 to 0100 one dark night Bossy on Capt. Weems farm was sorely in need of assistance. Feet well placed and braced on posterior, calf in hand and a few mighty heaves, and Bossy looked so appreciative.

There are a few bits of random news on which we will report more fully later.

About a year ago Gordon Matheson was located in Mooresville Mills in Mooresville, N. C. I have also heard that Red Blaiikenship is with Babcock and Wilcox.

Word comes to me that The Army-Navy Register reports that Jimmy and Anne Cruse are proud parents of a baby boy born March 7, 1954.

Convmced that the guy is smuggling something valuable out of the factory each day, one of the guards finally gets confidential and says: "Comrade, you can trust me.

What are you stealing each day?" And the devasting reply comes back: "Wheelbarrows."

And here's another, about the Soviet officer who was telling a Czech peasant how Russia will deal with the United States.

"We will pack 20 atom bombs into 20 leather suitcases and distribute them in the 20 biggest cities in America," said the Red officer. The peasant looked dubious.

"What's the matter," demanded the Russian, "don't you think we have 20 atom bombs?" "Of course, of course," sighed the Czech peasant, "but where would you get 20 leather suitcases?"

Guide words for today

Opeak softly and carry a big stick" -THEODORE ROOS&VELT

Everyone remembers Theodore Roosevelt's famous foreign policy formula . . . but few recall that he was referring to the Monroe Doctrine. He did not intend to make America an international bully. He did intend to keep the old-world tyrants, dictators and power-mad aggressors out of the Americas.

The world has learned to place little confidence in the loud harangues which characterize international talk today. While we still hope and work to achieve lasting peace, it behooves all the free nations to heed Theodore Roosevelt's advice . . . to speak softly, and to build the defensive strength which will give meaning to their words.

fjp and UP! M E M B E R S H I P I N THE U N I T E D STATES N A V A L INSTITUTE H A S BEEN I N C R E A S I N G STEADILY SINCE 1 9 4 8 . That year marked the SeventyFifth Birthday of the organization which is foremost in promoting professional, scientific, and literary knowledge in the Naval Service. Membership in the Institute at the end of that year was 18,000.

N o w , only five years later, the membership exceeds increase of almost fifty per cent.

26,000—an

W e believe that many factors have contributed to this increase in such a short p e r i o d — p r o b a b l y the most significant being the change in editorial policy, whereby the highly technical articles of limited interest were left to the Bureau publications in the Navy Department, and articles of wide interest only were accejDted by the Institute.

This policy has resulted in a startling increase in the reprinting of articles from the United Siates Naval Institute Proceedings. In fact, for the past few years the Proceedings has been one of the most widely quoted and reprinted magazines in the United States.

A t the same time, the editorial policy has not swung toward entertainment a p p e a l at the expense of professional information. It remains serious and searching, calling on the foremost writers of America and in the naval service for their contributions to naval thinking and policy.

Membership in the Institute remains at only $3.00 a year. These nominal dues entitle the member to receive, without further cost, a year's subscription to the Proceedings.

In addition, members of the Institute may buy the books that the Institute publishes at substantial discounts of between twenty and forty per cent from the retail price, as well as the books of almost all other publishers in the United States at a discount of ten per cent of the retail price.

Have you read these books recently published by the Institute? (Prices to members appear in parenthesis after the retail price.)

Tapping out the message heard Vound the world

.

On November 18, 1953, at Jim Creek, state of Washington, the world's most powerful transmitter went on the air.

Admiral Robert B. Carney, Chief of Naval Operations, dictated a message to all U. S. Naval units. Brigadier General David SarnofF, Chairman of the Board of RCA, operated the key. A new era— of instant communication to any point in the world—had opened up.

"Big Jim," as the transmitter is called, uses a giant antenna which stretches

between 3,000-foot mountains. Its 1,200,000-watt output is 22 times more powerful than the biggest commercial radio station in the world.

That's how "Big Jim's" messages get through the worst magnetic storm conditions to reach units in the air, on land, on sea—and submarines below the surface—anywhere in the world!

For six years RCA has been working closely with the Navy on the design and engineering of "Big Jim." These same

The following is a letter from MAC CRAMER: Furstenfeldbruck, Germany 13 April 1954 I've just caught up with the last three issues of Shipmate and seeing as how I've been meaning to write, here goes.

I'm stationed in Germany at Furstenfeldbruck Air Force Base, located about 20 miles from Munich. My duties are as Assistant Adjutant of the 1807th AACS Wing.

The address is: 2/Lt. M. A. Cramer, Jr., 25041A, 1807th AACS Wing, A P O 208, PM New York.

My first duty, in the States, was at Oxnard Air Force Base, California. Bill Brownie had Air Installations and Speedie Sperling had, the Motor Pool. We were all in the same squadron. Speedie has been shipped to Korea and Bill still remains in California.

We had quite a crew out there in sunny southern California. Bob Lowell and Charlie Turk were at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino and I saw them a couple of times. My old wife Bud Whittemore was at March Field in Riverside, but has since been sent to England for a few months with SAC. For those of you who haven't heard. Bud and his wife, Marylove, are the proud parents of twin girls.

During the summer after our graduation I was visited by John Ellis, Norv Dixon, George Broz and Chuck Middleton, all Ensigns, and Don Fisher, Gary Harrison and Bob Cameron of the Air Force. We had a couple of very fine parties. Later on in the fall, Bill Davis and Hardy Swanson dropped by on their way back to Marana, Ariz. As did Bob Gonano and his wonderful, wonderful wife, Janet. Bob and Janet are living next door to the Lee Harshfields.

Leaving the Rose Bowl game on 1 January, I ran right into Kent Curl, USN, who had just returned from the Far East.

On my way to Camp Kilmer, I stopped off in D. C. and visited the old Trade School. John Cox, the Publicity Director, put me on the half-time radio broadcast of the Navy-Penn State basketball game (Lange was out but the boys played very good ball and won). Al Higginbotham, whose engagement to Linda Wood was recently announced in Shipmate, was listening in and came right over to the game.

He is in the Gunnery Officers' School in D. C. We spent a couple of enjoyable evenings together.

I ran into Don Mang, USAF, at Kilmer.

The number in attendance was rather disappointing, but there were several present whom we hadn't seen in some time. We were especially glad to greet "Mike" Kearns for the first time since his recent incarceration in the hospital. He says he feels fine, and doesn't look any the worse for his illness. Also Don d'Oyley was with us after a sojourn in New Mexico for his health. He seemed to be his old happy self except for a jaw full of novocaine his dentist had administered during the forenoon.

On the reverse side of the picture, we had news of Joe Spangler who has been in the hospital for the past ten days for a serious ulcer operation. He came through the operation in fine style and is now on the road to recovery, and we hope it won't be too long before he can join us again.

"Red" Allen, the Rice University professor, sent word he is falling apart and he couldn't come because he is in the process of being equipped with a new set of choppers.

Tommy Thornhill, one of our regulars, wasn't able to show because a belated touch of winter weather caught him with his University of Houston air conditioning system already converted for summer service, so he was plenty busy with complaints from the chilly coeds.

The ones who did get together were S. M. Robinson '03; N. D. Brantly, E. H. McMenemy '20; D. L. d'Oyley, W. S. Thomson '22; M. I. Kearns '24; R. M. Hamilton, A. B. Wallace '25; R. F. Heath '27; W. A. Illing '30; R. J. Huntoon '45; and M. E. Collmer '52.

LOS ANGELES The May meeting of the Los Angeles chapter was held at Allen Center on Terminal Island in Long Beach. After a cocktail hour starting at six-thirty, dinner, consisting of top sirloin, was served to the nearly seventy persons in attendance.

V. Adm. C. A. Lockwood was the speaker. We thoroughly enjoyed his many related incidents of the submarines in the Pacific during the last war. These included both humorous as well as stirring episodes which had occurred during his long period of command of the Submarine Force.

A luncheon meeting of the Philadelphia chapter was held on 8 April 1954 at the Engineers Club. Dr. J. Lloyd Bohn, chairman of the Physics Department of Temple University, was our guest speaker. Dr. Bohn explained in layman's language, with appropriate slides, some of the interesting and unusual facts about the conditions found at extremely high altitudes. Dr. Bohn has been studying the upper atmosphere for the U S A F for several years and his talk was extremely interesting to all present.

PITTSBURGH The April meeting of the Pittsburgh chapter was held as a mixed bowling party Friday evening, April 23, 1954, at the Edgeworth Club, Edgeworth, Pa., through the kind arrangements made by Elsie and George Powell '31. A most enjoyable party was attended by the following: Minerva and Joe Ludewig '25, Ginny and Ed Barrett '38, Gerry Balestra and Bob Coleman '33, Maggie and Capt. Stan Nichols '26, Aileen and Harry Brown '22, Elsie and Dick Miller '22, Jane and Morgan Barrett '21, Helen and Jeff Beard '21, Marie and Bill Allen '29, Emily and Al Neal '30, Elsie and George Powell '31, Sally and Russ Hart '29, Eileen and Bill Toutant '46, and Jane and John Bock '45.

After a delightful cocktail hour in the parlors of the club, the group enjoyed a most delicious dinner in the main dining room. Then the group adjourned to the bowling alleys for several hours of fun and recreation. The records are not entirely accurate, but it seems that Helen Beard was high scorer among the ladies. Marie Allen had never bowled before but rolled fine scores. Capt. Stan Nichols was a high bowler among the men but confidentially he was lame for almost a week afterwards.

The chapter is proud to announce receipt of a "Certificate of Recognition" from the National Association. These certificates are awarded to chapters having a minimum of 25 members whose dues are paid locally and nationally, provided the by-laws of the chapter are in agreement with the aims and policies of the National Association.

All men on our mailing list are earnestly requested to mail their annual dues to the National Association to Adm. C. E. Coney, Executive Director, Alumni House, Annapolis, Md. The annual dues in the National Association are only $5.00, which 63

includes a subscription to Shipmate. For an additional $1.50 a copy of the 1953 edition of the Alumni Register may be obtained.

The 1954 edition of the Alumni Register will be available in December this year.

It is estimated that there are 25,000 living Naval Academy men, of whom about 7,500 are members of the National Association, reflecting a gain of about 1,000 in the past year. Shipmate is much improved, and is used as an interim class bulletin particularly by younger classes.

Then they offer a detailed description of the variations in handling characteristics and ship handling techniques for all of the common naval and merchant service types, including submarines, aircraft carriers, and amphibious vessels. The scope is beyond that of any previous single text on the subject, as will be indicated by mentioning a few of the topics discussed: The organization of the bridge detail, principles of safe piloting, and ship handling for special situations such as towing, emergencies, replenishment exercises at sea, and entering ice fields.

New weapons...

against weeds

Friendly to crops . . . deadly to weeds — amazing new chemicals are good news to our farmers and home gardeners of the chemical tools the people of Union Carbide produce for our farmers and gardeners. Their insecticides, fumigants, and fungicides protect growing and stored crops from insects and fungi. These give the grower added freedom from backaches and the nightmares of crop failure.

WEEDS cost America's home gardeners countless backaches — and they cost America's farmers bilHons of dollars a year in crop losses.

SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE—Now scientists have developed chemicals that are death to weeds but harmless to crops. One of these, a chemical weed killer, has already proved effective in protecting more than 50 kinds of plants, shrubs, and food crops.

HOW DOES IT WORK? The secret of this remarkable herbicide is that, when sprayed on the soil, it attacks weeds right at the surface. That's where most weed seeds sprout. The deeper-rooted crops are left unharmed.
