Over hills and rolling valleys, these Beechcraft A T - 1 1 b o m b i n g trainers carrv out a mission. Their crews are preparing themselves for a rugged job — flying bigger bombers over Axis targets. H o w well they do that job depends greatly on their training . . . and as combat results testify, American airmen are superbly trained. Bombardiers, pilots, and navigators, more often than not, perfect their skills in Beechcrafis. . .

The record of these Beechcrafts, in the gruelling grind of military training service, reaffirms the reputation earned by their commercial prototypes in prewar service from Aklavik to Little America — a reputation for doing efficiently and capably any job assigned to them, no matter how rugged that job might be.

This RCA unit went down — but not out!

I

In the January issue of this magazine v e showed vou that a powerful stream of water from a fire hose can be turned directly on an RCA Conmiunications unit without putting it out of corrmiission — because that is exactly what we do in the RCA laboratory.

In the February issue we showed you that such an RCA unit can actually be immersed in water — dropped into a water-fiUed tank — and still function.

But even that isn't aU. The Jibove picture shows an R C \ Communications unit being removed from a water-filled pressure vessel after hvdrostatic test. In this test the unit is not oidy immersed in water, but actually is subjected to 300 per sq. in. pounds hydrostatic pressure—vet still remains in good working order.

Believe it or not. i t s so! The proof of the pudding is in the fact that these R C \ units go through what they do in the storm and strife of naval service, and keep on working!

HERE is determination throughout this country that an intelligent and well-rounded program shall be developed to assure every veteran of the war a square deal when he comes home.

The people at home know that many servicemen are wondering whether there wiU be jobs for them when they remrn.

They know that many are wondering whether they will come home amid cheers and parades and then be forgotten.

Many of them are wondering whether they will be able to make a living if they are disabled; whether they will be able to make a go of it berween the time they get home and the time of finding work; whether they wiU be able to make up that high school or college work that they left to shoulder arms.

The answer to all of them is that the Federal Government already has set up machinery to guarantee assistance to all veterans in remrning to a gainful, useful and good civilian life as soon as possible after discharge. Many States and communities also help ex-servicemen of World War II to readjust themselves to the new life after they are out of uniform.

Here is what the Federal Government has made available so far to those honorably discharged: To those whose military pay was not more than $200 a month, it gives ยง300 if they served overseas or in Alaska, $200 if they served 60 days or more in the United States, and $100 if they MARCH,

^

served less than 60 days. Payment of $100 is made to every one at discharge, while the balance of the larger sums is paid in $100 installments monthly.

A pension is paid by the Veterans Administration to enlisted men of $10 a month for a 10% disability due to service and up to $100 a month for a 100% disability, with extras up to $250 a month for multiple disabilities. Officers subject to retirement pay are given two-thirds of their basic pay for a disability of 30% or more due to service, while if the disability is less than 30% they are entided to Veterans Administration pensions at the same rate as enlisted inen. hospitalization, medical and surFREE gical care in a Veterans' Administration hospital for all members of the armed forces who after discharge still need care, whether the condition is due to service or not. Non-service connected cases are cared for if facilities are available and there is every reason to believe that they will be.

Free artificial limbs, eyes, teeth, crutches, and the like, from the Veterans' Administration for all requiring them.

Free residence in a soldiers' home for all who have a chronic ailment that will take an undetermined time to cure and which prevents employment, whether due to service or not.

Vocational training through the Veterans' Administration for up to 48 school months in a college, university,

trade or commercial school, or on the job, if you have a pensionable disability that hinders you from working. The Veterans' Administration will pay your mition, buy your books, and give you $80 to $120 a month to live on while attending school, depending upon the number of dependents you have. In some cases, it will also pay transportation to and from school.

Similar vocational training for an occupational handicap not due to service is provided through the Federal Security Agency by the States, but living allowances are of lesser amount.

All of these benefits are aimed to restore the veteran to full usefulness as soon as possible. At military discharge centers, there are Red Cross or service personnel to advise the outgoing serviceman of these rights and to tell him how to get them. In time, representatives of the Veterans' Administration and other cooperating Federal agencies will also be represented at all discharge points to counsel with those about to be discharged.

Advice constantly given is that a claim, on Veterans' Administration form No. 526, should be filed automatically at the time of discharge through the Red Cross or a veterans organization.

This gets each case on record and saves time if the new veteran has a claim.

There have been delays in handling claims in the Veterans' Administration, due in part to a shortage of personnel as a result of the war, but new methods of 13

There are some faults to be found in all these programs, but attempts are being made to correct them. The complimentary aspect about all the program developed so far is that they are in effect as much as seven years earlier than like benefits were available to those who served in World War I. Pension claims, for instance, are being paid now to men discharged while the war is on. In some cases, claims have been held up a number of months, but faster methods will be in force soon.

Shordy, the most needy casesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;those of men with crippling disabilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will receive their first pension check soon after they reach home.

Other benefits already in force, permit the veteran to continue his service insurance after his return to civilian life by remitting the premium within 30 days after discharge to the Collection Sub-Division, Veterans' Administration, Washington, D. C. Remittances should be made payable to the Treasurer of the United States. After a policy has been in force one year, it may be converted within five years to ordinary life, 20payment life or 30-payment life insurance.

Pensions, ranging from $25 to $150 a month, are payable to the wife, children or dependent parents of persons who die as a restilt of service in World War II. Families of servicemen who lose their lives are allowed $100 by the govertunent for burial expenses and are

given a flag to drape the casket.

Before the war is over, it is safe to predict, a number of additional benefits will be provided for the veteran. Under the stimulus of President Roosevelt and veterans organizations. Congress is expected to provide free education for all those whose schooling was interrupted by service. It probably will also grant unemployment compensation and social security old-age pension credits. It may make it possible for the veteran to obtain a loan for the purchase of a farm or a home and other loans to pay off old debts.

T

HROUGHOUT the nation, educators and others believe that every man and woman who gave up school to go to war should be gi\en the opportunity to return to school at goverrmient expense. Their idea is that that is the least that the government can do in return for the sacrifice that these sailors, marines, soldiers and aviators. Waves, Wacs and Spars have made for their country.

Many of you who serve left school at 17. Many quit college. It is conceded that you should be given educational assistance in studying for the professions, to enter business, to take goverrmient jobs or to become skilled craftsmen.

For you who are in the armed forces, the people back home recognize, will be the nation's fumre leaders. You, therefore, it is held, should be given the op-

portunity of developing leadership of the highest quality.

Congress has bills before it to give collegiate, vocational or on-the-job training for upwards of four years to all who had to give up school. These bills provide for free tuition, books, and living expenses while at school.

The folks back home also have a feeling that if any veteran, after his return home, is unable to find work through no fault of his own, the government should pay him a weekly amount for a limited time while he looks for work. This is a practical method of keeping the veteran from becoming an object of charity.

It is also felt that every one who serves should be entitled to credit toward old-age pension for the time he spent in uniform. Bills pending suggest that the government contribute to social security an amount for each serviceman and woman equivalent to what he and his.employer would have paid had he remained in civil life and had a job.

President Roosevelt has called several times for educational, unemployment compensation and old-age pension bills as a just repayment to the nation's youth in arms. That they have not been passed is due to jockeying in Congress while it has been giving the right-of-way to more pressing legislation.

Meantime, the govertunent in Washington, the governments of the several states and local communities, business

industry, the professions, and civic organizations are giving much thought to the time when hostilities cease and the day for demobilization shall come.

There is much talking, a lot of planning, with a limited amount of action, toward that period.

The aim of the sincere planners is that in a period of orderly demobilization of both the armed forces and of war industry, those who did their part on the battle front or in military camp shall be assured jobs while those who manned the machines back home shift to peacetime industry. The hope is that all who need work shall be provided with work.

In every industry, departments of research are busy looking for new ways to use old things and for new products.

Their aim is to be ready to keep the wheels of in,dustry turning at high speed to fill the many wants of the consumer that have been long pent up by the restrictions placed upon peacetime goods by the necessities for wartime output.

And their prime desire is to make jobs.

That task is complex. The demands of war have made it impossible and even undesirable for the nation to devote much time to its solution. But as the pressure of war eases, more intense attention can be expected to be mrned to postwar planning.

Veterans already have been given preference in government jobs. "There is a move afoot to give them preference in private employment on a voluntary basis.

Throughout the nation, leaders have asserted that demobilization should be as rapid as is conducive to orderly proc-

ess and that it be dovetailed with the demobilization of war industry. But all thinkers recognize that the nation's safety and world-wide security may prolong the process.

VERYWHERE, while the war goes E on, supreme efforts are being made in the armed forces and out of them to save life, so that every fighting man will be given the best chance in all history to come back from battle. That is as good, news to the man and woman in uniform as the information that the home folks are providing the means for your welfare after you get home.

The explosives, the high velocity weapons, the other death-dealing devices of this war are playing havoc with men's lives. But the perfection of the medical services is keeping.men alive who would have died in the last war.

Deaths among the wounded in all the services are less than half what they were in World War I. Blood plasma, the sulfa drugs, high grade surgery on the field of conflict, penicillin, speedy succor of the wounded at the front at the risk of the lives of medical corpsmen, rapid evacuation of the injured by motor vehicle and by air all are contributing to this salvage of the suffering. The long line of wellequipped hospitals from the combat give thanks.

they are evacuated by troops going overseas. That will give the Veterans Administration a cushion to fall back upon.

The Veterans' Administration is planning to take over military hospitals after the war with 100,000 hospital beds. It plans during the post-war period to erect another 100,000 beds to bring the total then to 300,000.

These beds will not all be for World War II veterans. There still are thousands of veterans of the last war and previous wars hospitalized, or entitled to hospitalization, in the Veterans' Administration.

This bureau, an independent one serving veterans exclusively, has been struggling to overcome a shortage of personnel, including physicians. Recently, it entered into an agreement with the Navy and the Army to borrow doctors.

It has also taken over some enlisted persotmel from the Army to ease its manpower problems.

In military hospitals in the United States, I have seen the wounded come in and I have seen them go home.

Later, when that medical officer returned to his ship, he set to and performed six major operations.

Another Marine medical officer administered blood plasma to a seriously wounded private in the jungle of Guadalcanal while in constant danger from bullets. While rain beat down and ponchos were held over the doctor and padent, the officer gave blood plasma on the spot, bringing the man back to consciousness from a state of shock that was close to death.

The medical ofiicer of a destroyer was taken off in a small boat when his ship was hit by a bomb. He saw a man struggling in the water, unable to swim.

That doctor, a poor swimmer himself, leaped overboard and somehow rescued the sailor.

Such acts, coupled with modern medicine, are reducing the task of rehabilitation that formerly was done after men were discharged. Besides that, American military hospitals in this war have been keeping their patients much longer than in past wars.

Sicily, Southern Italy and the Country Around Rome and southern Italy were called SICILY the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies before Italy became a unified modern state.

Now the Yanks in the Mediterranean area have welded the Two Sicilies together again with fire and steel, the National Geographic Society points out.

Geologists say that Sicily and southern Italy belong together. Nature separated them ages ago, and much blood has been shed in military and political efforts to re-join them. General Eisenhower's Yanks, in crossing the Strait of Messina, have followed the route of the Romans, of Roger the Norman, and of Garibaldi.

What are the Two Sicilies likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;island and mainland? What are the Yanks finding that is familiar and "just like home," and what is new and foreign?

On the familiar side is the weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; 18

the naturally changeable and unruly weather of the Temperate Zone. Sicily never freezes, but the mountain tops are sometimes covered with snow. Southern Italy, with its jagged spine of mountains reaching 6,400 feet, has a severe winter of sudden extremes, especially in the Apennines and east to the Adriatic.

Although southern Italy and Sicily are largely agricultural, they liave few farmhouses. Farmers live in towns and go daily to fields miles away. This practice causes rural areas to have a deserted aspect strange to Yanks. The desolation of central Sicily is increased by the sulphur mines, which once supplied nearly all the world's sulphur.

A Yank invited into a peasant's home is likely to see a large family living in one or two rooms with its pigs and fowls, and children wearing rock-salt

amulets to ward off the evil eye. A rich Neapolitan or Palermitan might treat him to rich foods and fine wines in the courtyard of a palace-like home. granary of the ancient world, SICILY, and, as the home of Ceres, mythical birthplace of agriculture, is today a combination orchard-garden-vineyard, more fertile than southern Italy. Citrus fruits, grapes and olives are the big crops.

Cereals are raised only in subsistence quantities.

Yanks in Sicily may forget their jeeps long enough to take a ride on the traditional two-wheeled, highly decorated, donkey-pulled cart. On the narrow sides of these carts appears the history of Sicily in original oil paintings. The favorite scenes in these "moving pictures" deal with the days of Norman

occupation, when knighthood was in flower.

Southern Italy has few forests, little dense vegetation. This baldness, which extends even to the mountains, is the reason for the intermittent flooding and drying up of the many short rivers. It also explains why a moderate rainfall produces seas of mud.

Noticeable to the nature-loving Yank is the absence of birds and their singing.

Such forests as exist are quiet in daytime. But at night the cicadas and other insects set up their shrill repetitive drone. Also heard in the night are mandolins and soft singing, or the more boisterous music of the tarentella—national dance of southern Italy—a lover's quarrel and reconciliation set to the dance.

Ageless marionette and Punch-andJudy shows abound in both Sicilies.

Puppet-hero of Naples is Scaramuccia, a quarrelsome, cowardly braggart. Live actors take part in the many town festivals. Backgroimd of most of these celebrations is religious. Delicacies are eaten, wine is drunk, and men and older women dance in the streets. Girls and young married women never dance.

Along the generally rocky coasts are many smaller ports, several resorts— Sorrento, Capri, Amalfi, Mondello—and niunerous fishing villages whose inhabitants live on "frutta di mare"—fruit of the sea.

Caltanissetta, with about 50,000 popularion and Foggia, with 61,000, are the area's largest inland towns.

Sicily is about the size of Vermont.

Italy, south of Rome, is more than three times as large—approximately the area of Maine. Nearly all the interior is occupied by jumbled hills and patternless mountains. Many villages are perched on almost inaccessible slopes and crags.

Some lowland coastal regions are malarial swamps. For cenmries Italy, divided by its geographical barriers, remained split up in small warring states, prey to foreign conquerors.

special Phenomena

Over the Oceans

By Ivan Ray Tannehill A T ANY of the high spots of an ocean •^'•'- voyage—meteors and auroras in the heavens, phosphorescence on the sea, the sight of flying fish and porpoises— have litde direct relation to weather conditions. There are some natural phenomena, however, that a fornmate traveler may encoimter for which he is indebted to the weather alone.

Waterspouts, for example, are not rare. Many observant people who reside on the seacoast have seen one or more. And yet there are some sailors who have never seen one in a lifetime.

When near, the waterspout is an impressive phenomenon, and to some extent dangerous; sailing ships have been dismasted and even a few have been capsized. In one spout which did not touch the vessel (a sailing ship) the crew had a critical experience. A waterspout was observed bearing down upon the ship. As it passed, "a terrific whirlwind took away the fore-topgallant mast, main and mizzen topmasts, and every sdtch of canvas. One man went with the masts, and the master was blown aroimd the poop like a piece of paper, and almost went overboard. Sky and sea seemed one, resembling a smoking furnace."

The waterspout, like the tornado over land, is a violent whirl in an updraught of air.

In reality, the waterspout, or that part which we see, is a cloud. Begiiming "^i->

usually as a vortex at the base of a doud, it pushes downward in the form of a spout looking like the trunk of an elephant. Even before it reaches the sea, the surface of the water is gready agitated below the spout. As the spout elongates it may be straight, slanted or curved. The cascade, or water disturbance at the base, increases in violence and a cone-shaped promberance seems to rise and join with the descending spout. When the moisture in the spout condenses it is visible as a doud; if not, the vertical motion is present anyway, as is evident by the agitadon of the water. In extreme cases, a waterspout may be only a few hundred feet high or it may stretch nearly a mile from doud to sea; the average is 1,000 to 2,000 feet.

What We Have Learned I n t h e i.Bu^^

AB^-^^

Pacific How will we employ this illimitable power?

T

w o years have passed since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor: long, bitter years in which we have had successes, made some mistakes, and profited gready by both. Our war laboratory has been the largest combat area in the world's histor)', the 70,000,000 square nules of Pacific Ocean across which we are today advancing toward the enemy's homeland. What we have done already, and intend to accomplish in the not too distant future, will form the basis of naval science and tactics for the education of Academy classes yet unborn.

Many of our lessons had to be learned the hard way, because we had litde military precedent to help us project a combined air-land-sea campaign on such a scale against a firmly estabHshed opponent. But learn we did; and as we advanced, our equipment improved in quantity and quality. Today we are ready to hurl at the Japanese Empire the greatest array of military power ever assembled. Utilization of these huge forces wiU require the epitome of coordinated effort.

We feel that our experience of the past eighteen months in the South Pacific will contribute to the success of this gigantic undertaking. Our greatest pride lies in the coordination of components of the South Pacific Force: Army, Navy, Marine Corps and New Zealand. We comprise a "one service" team. The results of this combination bespeak the vmity we attained. Working in harmony, we stepped up the tempo of our northward drive, by-passing enemy strong points and building our own bases in places calculated to promulgate our policy of neutralization of Japanese air and sea strength. It was a Pacific version of "divide and conquer," and it worked to our entire satisfaction.

Since the inauguration of the New Georgia campaign, we have fought alongside the forces of the Southwest Pacific Area. I can state unequivocably that full coordination of effort was achieved at that time. It has paid good dividends in victories won.

22

APAN, which already is preparing its key cities for attack and eventual siege, can guess. I can tell you that the wisdom we gained since December 7, 1941, will serve us in good stead. We learned much about carrier operations in the Coral Sea and at Midway. In those days we had a mere handful of combat aircraft carriers. Now we have a whole fleet of them, plus a gratifying margin of smaller escort and auxiliary carriers. These can bring the war pretty dose to home for the enemy.

Then, too, the day must inevitably come when our vasdy augmented batdeship and cruiser forces contact the major portion of the Japanese Heet for the firstâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and lastâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;time.

In the field of long range amphibious operations we have also progressed far.

Bougainville has been termed a perfect example of the teamwork necessary for success in this type of warfare. We lost no ships, and few men, securing a beachhead, which thus effectively denied use of the last of the Solomons to the enemy. By the time he realized his predicament, we had airfields operative and planes ready to carry the fight to his next perimeter of defense.

Always, as these more spectacular operations proceed, the Japanese are losing heavily in a silent war of attrition that goes on ceaselessly and rdendessly from New Britain to his very home waters. No ship of his is safe today.

Our submarines have exacted a toll that is beginning to reflect itself in the enemy's new policy of caution. Soundly whipped in the air, he now doubts his prowess on sea and land. As we gained in confidence, he lost the litde with which he started this war.

The coming months will be epochal ones, full of harsh surprises for our adversary and satisfaction for our own people. W e have the tools and the know-how. We aim to use them.

J

By Admiral William F. Halsey '04 Whatever hesitancy we may have felt as we embarked on the original Guadalcanal campaign has vanished. Confidence is the watchword now. By this, I do not mean over-optimism, but an awareness of our own superiority in men and machinery. We also have the comfortable knowledge that this superiority will increase when the European campaign ends.

WAsHATtheisarmies of the Allies begin to draw doser to it and news dispatches tell of destruction already begun by the German forces within its gates in preparation for its final defense before evacuation, keen speculation and apprehension as to what they will do to "The Eternal City' is felt throughout the world.

Will the retreating Nazis engage in their usual tactics of demolition, and wipe out much of the modern city?

Will the bombing of the Allies, inevitable through the exigencies of the war, bring in new ruins to add to those of ancient Rome? In years to come will the tourist guides announce, "This mass

of rubble was the Colosseum"-—"Those crumbled blocks once formed the sturdy walls of the Castel Sant' Angelo, originally Hadrian's tomb"—"Those slabs and broken columns are what is left of St, Peter's, where was the Circus of Nero, traditional site of the martyrdom of St. Peter."

Throughout all civilized countries, hope is strong that such a fate may be spared the monuments of ancient and modern Rome. To millions of visitors it has proved an enduring magnet, and year after year, from even the most distant parts of the world, they had come to ramble through the Forum, or to climb the Palatine Hill, where stood the palaces of the Caesars, or ro enter

the Colosseum and in imagination visualize the spectacular combats of the gladiators or contests between men and beasts that once occurred there. And to Rome came smdents of art, architecmre and music, and theologians and archeologists to engage in smdy and research.

The first objective of the majority of visitors on sightseeing bent was the Vatican, greatest palace of art in the world. There, in its various galleries and museums, they would view outstanding works of Michelangelo, Raphael, da Vinci and other painters and sculptors of world renown. Visiting scholars found the Vatican library a rich source of information. The Sistine Chapel, having Michelangelo's stamesque figures of prophets and sibyls on its high vaulted ceiling and the famous "Last Judgment" above the altar, generally marked a high point of interest for Vatican visitors.

A tour through nearby St. Peter'.";, the principal and largest church of the Christian world, also proved a never-to-beforgotten event. The edifice, with its great dome towering 435 feet above the square, is the last resting place of the popes.

Many were the sights which every tourist included in his tour of the Eternal City: The Pantheon, built by Agrippa in 27 B.C., rebuilt by Hadrian in the second cenmry A.D. and containing the tombs of Victor Emmanuel II, first king of United Italy, and others.

MISdELLAlOllS U m . . . . .

by George Sessions Perry; Viking, $2.50.

HACKBERRY CAVALIER,

George Sessions Perry, the Texas writer, rapidly has become known as one of the outstanding correspondents of this war. It was while home from covering two Eu,ropean campaigns that Perry decided to take his likeable character, Edgar, the Cavalier, out of the pages of several magazines where his adventures have been recorded and put them together in book form. The result certaiidy proved to be one of the most delightful books of the season.

The small town of Hackberry in and around which the advenmres described in the book take place, lies in the Texas bottom lands. It is a country of rivers and bayous and the people who live there, though very poor are very content with their lot. "There is a suggestion of Paul Bunyan in most of them. But it is our guess that Edgar is well on his way to becoming an established figure in fiction as the result of George Perry's handling of his eccentric moods. There is enough amusing reading packed into this book to make it an ideal gift for a serviceman and since each chapter is a complete story in itself the book is one of those rare ones that can be picked up, read for a while and left for those occasional moments of leisure one finds aboard ship.

The mood of Hackberry Cavalier is squarely in the great American tradition of the tall story. Perry's earlier book.

Hold Autumn in Your Hand, was more realistic in its treatment; yet through the two books wanders the same thoroughly ingratiating kind of human being.

For anyone who had a remote connection with Tarawa and the battle for its possession the book will constimte an invaluable and lasting history. Included is a detailed list of Tarawa's casualties both killed and wounded. No finer thing could happen to the families of any men lost in that fighting than that they should have this vivid record of the courage of their sons.

Of Robert Sherrod, "Raider" Carlson, in a letter to the Editors of TIME, wrote, "I came to know Mr. Sherrod when we shared the same transport en route to the target area, and gained a respect for his ability to evaluate events. It did not occur to me that he would attempt to land before a reasonable beachhead had been secured. However, 1 met him on the beach during the critical first day, and learned that he, in company with William Hippie of the Associated Press, had accompanied the assault waves of the center battalion ashore. Such devotion to facmal reporting deserves special commendation."

Reg Ingraham, who for some time has covered the Navy for TIME magazine and has participated in several Naval expeditions, knows the Coast Guard from personal acquaintance with its men and its boats. Coast Guard headquarters put every available source of information at his disposal when he undertook the broad task of popularizing its history and bringing it up-to-date. He has done a very capable job and produced a book which will take its place as one of the valuable sources of information concerning America's naval and maritime activities. Ingraham traces the early history of the Coast Guard when it was known as the Revenue Cutter Service down to the latest action which the Coast Guard has participated in this war. His book gives a vivid and moving account of Coast Guardsmen landing on Greenland's icecaps to rescue Army flyers. He details Coast Guard's activity in connection with landings in the Solomons, in Africa, Sicily and Italy. The whole is a collection of first-class writing and the book itself should be in every ship's library in order to give men of the United States Navy a good picture of what their colleagues in the Coast Guard have been doing since America was dragged into this war.

HEROES

O F ANNAPOLIS,

by

Alden

Hatch; Julian Messner, Inc., $2.50.

Alden Hatch is perhaps particularly known for his writing of advenmrous biographies. His "Heroes of Annapolis" acmally constimtes a sort of holiday between his biography of Wendel Willkie as a young man and that of General Eisenhower which he at present is engaged in writing. Hatch went to Annapolis to write this book and had the mn of the Academy from its 94,000volume library to the sacred precincts of Bancroft Hall, and the book is the result of cooperation of every one from Admiral Beardall down to plebes at Crabtown.

Contrary to established practice Mr. Hatch starts off with the adventures of two young sailors during the battle of Bougainville who later received fleet appointments to the Academy. Then he drops back to the beginnings of the school under Lt. David Porter, who taught the first dass of medicine at Tripoli where they were imprisoned after the capmre by the pirates of the frigate Philadelphia. He traces the men who have come out of Annapolis down to the present time by giving detailed attention to men like David Glasgow Farragut and those other outstanding Navy heroes who have surrounded the place with glorious tradition through both wars and years of peace.

In each of the later wars Mr. Hatch has picked up the career of some midshipman who was to gain distinction in later life, shows him in the Academy as it was in his day, and describes his exploits in the crash of ships at sea. He does a nice job of bringing the Annapolis of today into the book and the stories of the young men who have gone straight from the classrooms to gain enduring glories on the sea, in the air, and in the perilous depths of the ocean.

BELL FOR ADANO, by John Hersey; Alfred A. Knopf, $2.50.

This is a novel based on current events by the young war correspondent who wrote Into the Valley, which in itself has proved to be one of the outstanding jobs of reporting in this war to date. Hersey clothes in fiction the story of an ItalianAmerican major who tried to rebuild an occupied town along the lines of his own democratic, American upbringing. He understood the simple people of the town—the fisherman, the officials, the cartmen, and the children who constantly begged for candy—and he knew how much they wanted to carry on the simple customs of their country while enjoying the new freedom the American Army had brought them. The story's action centers around the lack of understanding higher officials had of the -major's effort to re-establish life in the village with the minimum of confusion and shock to the people. Although the author's note in the book denies the similarity of his characters to actual persons one is tempted not to take this denial too seriously. There are striking similarities between, for instance, an American general recently very much in the news and the general in John Hersey's book. It would not be surprising if Hersey admitted at some later date the connection between his fictional and actual persons.

John Hersey is proving himself one of the most capable young writers whose talents this war has uncovered. "A Bell for Adano" will certainly add to the reputation he achieved on his Into the Valley and Men on Bataan.

Spindrift

By Lee Shores

was a time in the historj' of THERE the Naval Academy, they tell us, when the first dass ruled the Regiment with an iron maUed fist—when a Plebe was a Plebe and a Youngster was a Plebe carr)-ing on in a system that had all the marks of a Feudal Estate. The First Class of those days were demi-gods whose Mount Olympus was any terrace, any corridor, any room of Bancroft Hall.

Furthermore, we hear, there has been a gradual metamorphosis, accelerated by the war years, which has found the First

Class losing its tenacious hold on the system and slipping down to a plane dangerously near that occupied by the former Second Class.

But all is not lost. The centennial class of the Academy has taken a series of radical steps that in a few short weeks have lashed the Plebes back into submission and once more reduced Youngster year to an odious stage in the dimb toward First Class rates.

It all began on one of those typical Monday mornings at breakfast formation when the PPO's were rushing about shaking sleepy squad leaders and vainly attempting to extort some sort of report on the stams of the squad members.

Suddenly the Company Commanders boomed out, "First Class will occupy both ends of the mess tables commencing this morning," startling a few 2PO's out of their post-weekend trances and causing a rumble of lamentations in the ranks.

This was only the opening salvo of a campaign whose intensity carries one back to the days of the Terror that left

a r«'o century hangover lurking in Paris.

The Plebes were told that there was no more order = 10-43 of rates to be observed by Fourth Class. From now on Big Brother was in charge. And Big Brother was going to be tough about the whole thing. As usual, the Plebes lost in the transaction, and each Reveille finds some hapless Plebe on some deck standing rigidly at attention in the grey t\^'ilight, fearfully waiting for the tyrant to come out of his cave to administer a verbal lashing for some misstep that the Junior man had taken the day before. At the present rate it won't be many days before we can laugh at the speaker who eternally alludes to "Now, when I was a Midshipman," and have a whole regiment of underdassmen smile to a man with an expression that says, "Oh, for the good old days when a country dub was a country dub."

This calling a spade a spade business has spread with contagious vigor into the ranks to the Tribunal of Bancroft Hall, into the midst of those very real supreme overseers of justice in and around the terraces and corridors. "The D.O.'s, too, have reached deep into bag of tricks dust)' from long stowage on shelves in the D.O. shack where they were filed years ago by the great master of the conduct report, Unde Beanie, when he had cast off his toga to return to the Fleet. Now, once more, the pendulum has swung toward advanced strategy and guile in launching conduct report attacks. Just the other day a team with an ample supply of retrievers— messengers, officially speaking—struck far out in territory previously considered neutral by most first class section leaders. Over by the seaward side of the Gym, where Nav and Seamo sections gaily tripped along conversing about everything from last week's hop to next week's basketball game, where men fell out of ranks by the dozen to drop by the tailor shop for gear, came the blight.

And many were the cries and groans as involunteers swelled the ranks of the cutter crews, the walk-run-drop-crawl course commandos, and other forms of modern punishment squads. But tfiis, too, was just an appetizer, and hard on the heels of the new hunting zone proj-

ects came locker inspections that sent sea boots by the dozen into town and that found men stealtfiily transferring forbidden gear to new secret nooks and crannies of the voluminous spaces of the Hall at all hours of the night. Let Lee Shores emphatically remind all the old grads that the system is not weakening: that the test of years will find no dereliction of duty on the part of the class of 1945 or its overseers.

And as the time of departure grows nigh, the epidemic of graduation fever has trebled in intensity. Each afternoon finds long queues of men in line (those who don't have sporting events scheduled. The Radiator squad was scutded with Yamamoto.) At the various Maryland avenue tailoring establishments.

Some of the gear comes back into the yard and of that a major portion seeps into the official summaries in such terse phrases as: "This midsfiipman had an officer's cap hidden in his steam kit.

This man had a grey shirt stuffed behind the molding of his door."

T

HERE is also the unceasing batde of the colors. One speaker says "Buy a dozen khakis." Another emphatically announces, "Half a dozen greys are a necessity." All of which results in some overstocking and a filling of the coffers by those cautious individuals who adhere strictly to the motto "Be prepared for anything."

And, incidentally, our "final stretch" sense of academic security received quite a jolt when the Academic Board crossed four more names off the dass muster in a post-Christmas inquiry. It appears that good dailies and ample velvet will be exam week "musts" up to the crossing of the last river. And that crossing, at the present rate of knowledge absorption, is going to make the crossing of the Delaware look like a Saturday afternoon knockabout outing.

Our academics these days are tough and higfily professional. Each Depanment is sponsoring its subject as the most necessary component of a good Ensign's foundation and each Department is working on the theory that no one else requires any preparation. We're so busy these days that more often than not the Mate delivers the first dass mail, and our plebes read the letters for us while we pour over late editions of U.S.N.A. best sellers. The drills these days are highly realistic, and Ordnance and Seamo have done a remarkable job in setting up working models of the latest shipboard installations. Of course, the good old Nav P-Work is still running strong and every Saturday finds hundreds of neophyte navigators desperatdy thumbing through coundess H.O.'s seeking always to keep the good ship Soand-So in the ocean and on a chart that

more often than not proves a litde small for plotting some of the fixes. And we are also currently delving in the intricacies of radio with a desperation born of the knowledge that it's tougher than A-C At least the voltages are quite a bit lower and the lab casualties should decline considerablyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this last bit from Sick Bay which has been working overtime on Flight physicals and night vision acuity tests. That night vision machine is one of the new annexes to the swelling scroll of Naval Academy "pride and joys." Thirty minutes of acclimatization are allowed before the eyes try to define the subtle antics of a plane on an ultraobscure radium screen.

Another of the new additions to Academy mechanisms is the glorified slot machine in Smoke Hall which, through an elaborate set of motors, cards, cams, and electrical circuits, tests the Naval Academy mind with technical questions ranging from identification photos of Latvian Navy gunboats to simple basic questions on the technicalities of our own navy. The scoring is mechanical and is as ruthless as the daily red book entries. This is definitely a recognition era in Academy history, and upon graduation we should be able to tell the mark, mod, manufacmrer, gasoline load, and motor characteristics of any plane we spot anywhere on the globe.

Another trend that has wormed its way into the new war-shortened Naval Academy Course is the master pamphlet of drills, exercises and activities of the month. Subdy woven into the intricate phrases and diagrams of these mimeo publications is the famous "word" on everything that is happening every minute of the day. We of the Regiment feel that they are the outgrowth of years of smdy on the communications bulletins and that by translating the information we are gaining valuable dope for future work as rapid fire communicators.

That particularly trying period of athletics just after Reveille has been abolished by the new Commandant to the great joy of all hands. The story goes that the vigor of the morning exercise was a function of the deck upon which it was held. On the terrace decks everyone went all out, but high in the towers of Bancroft at altimdes far too ethereal for even the most athletic D.O. to attempt before breakfast, the routine degenerated to a few casual movements of the fingers and one or two deep breaths.

Thus did another unfair practice go over the side, this one for the second time in history.

Fine Winter Sport Season T

HE Naval Academy approached the end of the winter sport season with an unusual number of undefeated teams and a more than average number of varsity, junior varsity and Plebe victories.

The varsity basketball team has had a good season dropping a heartbreaker to Pennsylvania for its only collegiate loss, and being nosed out by the former college stars and professional players of the North Carohna Pre-Flight quint.

Every other college team was forced to pull down its colors.

Scoring rapidly in the opening seconds of the game the Middle five moved into a 6-0 lead as a result of field goals by guard Adrian, back and center Spook Elliott. Successive shots by team captain Kenny Longnecker, Ernie Litty and Jack McKay pushed the count to 18-8 midway in the first half.

On field goals by Albert Ingerman, Temple guard, the visiting cagers managed to dose much of the gap before the half ended, 22-16 in Navy's favor.

From this point on, the scoring was nip and mck with Navy maintaining a slight advantage through most of the first half—an advantage which never varied from a one to five point lead.

Longnecker, Tar captain, and Navy's center Spook Elliott vied for top-scoring honors. Both accounted for 13 tallies while Blue DevU forward Gordon Carver raised the loser's score with five fidd goals and two foul shots.

With 30 seconds of playing time remaining, the Durham, N. C. squad brought the crowd to its feet as it came within two points of tying the score.

However, defensive work by Longnecker and Adrian Back held the Dukes for the remainder of the test.

Moskowitz, high-scorer for the Staters, retaliated with another field goal for a Peim State advantage of 5-4, but Navy's Mac McKay accounted for a long field shot to give the Middies a lead which was never again challenged.

The Ninany Lions were helpless during the first 12 minutes of the second half as the Tars racked up a 43-14 lead but then McNary worked through the tight Middle defense and pushed the count to 43-16 to break the ice of the last half for Perm State.

Moskowitz, tallying 12 points on six long shots, and Navy's team captain Keimy Longnecker with the same number of markers on six baskets off the backboard, took individual honors.

VILLANOVA

Unleashing a barrage of baskets in the final quarter, Navy's basketball squad scored its seventh straight win of the season by handing Villanova a 35-27 defeat on Feb. 9.

In conquering the Wildcats, the Middies had to come from behind in the final quarter after the visitors had overcome a 10 points lead at the end of the third quarter to lead 27-25.

At the outset the Sailors found no trouble in holding the visitors to a lone point in the first quarter while they went out in front by 13 points.

But the visitors, after netting four field goals in 24 shots in the second quarter, came to life in the third, and in six minutes had taken the lead on Al Postus' pop shot from mid-court.

Ken Longnecker, Middle high scorer with 10 points, put his club back in the lead with an under-the-basket heave and from there on the Middies sailed through to win.

COLUMBIA

Navy's victory-rolling basketball squad overcame an early-game Columbia University lead on Feb. 16 to trounce the Lions, 65-38, and collect their eighth straight win.

Captain Kenny Longnecker forced Columbia to relinquish its slight lead, held for the first ten minutes of the fray, as he dribbled through the Lion's defense and racked up the first of series of fast-action field shots collected by Navy before the middies ended the half with a 27-18 advantage.

With six minutes to go, Penn was in front, 55-51. Navy roared back to tie at 55. With three to go, Don Gleasner dropped in a foul shot and Frank Crossin looped in a high field goal. From there the Quakers utilized everything they had to turn back every Middle threat with fast and smart play, pushing their advantage and rolling to the finish.

The Navy wrestlers kept on their victorious way by taking seven of the eight bouts from die previously undefeated Lehigh University grapplers in a night meet held in the gymnasium on Feb. 5.

The score was 25 to 5 in favor of the Middies.

Mickey MacDonald, the Navy bantam Eastern Intercollegiate champion, took the 121 pound bout by tossing Julien Kennedy in 5 minutes, 24 seconds. Joe Henson, captain of the Navy team and other Eastern Intercollegiate champion won a hard match when he got a fall over Buddie Lindholm in 5 minutes, 39 seconds. Lindholm put up a hard fight but was downed in the second 3-minute period.

The rest of the Navy scoring came from five decisions.

BiU Bernard, Lehigh's 175 pound wrestler, won a hard bout by a faU from Navy's Dan Brimm after 6 minutes, AG seconds. Brimm was injured in the fall and was taken to Misery Hall where he was revived. The two light heavies had wrestled on fairly even terms during the first 3-minute period, but Bernard rolled up a point advantage of 4 to 2 during the second 3-minute period when Brimm started to side and got his fall soon after he got topside to start the third 3-minute period.

Robert Hicks, 136 pounder for Lehigh, who had never wrestled in a varsity match before, substituted for M. L. Morrison who is ill with the grippe.

He put up a game fight against Ray Oliver, of Navy, losing by decision, but getting a big hand from the crowd.

Justice vs. Revenge I F A man commits murder and is tried, found guilty and put to death, that is not revenge; it is very severe punishment, but it is just punishment!

Punishment, to be just, must be based on the enormity of the crime committed. After victory let us keep this thought in mind and devote all of our thoughts and efforts to justiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; justice to all countries and all peoples v^^ho have undergone such inhuman treatment and terrible suffering as a result of the Axis Povs^ers' disregard of moral, civil and international laws and decent human relations.

Post-war justice will rnean restoring devastated lands and buildings, refurnishing homes, rehabilitating individuals and families, providing permanent care for civilians and members of the armed forces who have been permanently disabled.

To bring true justice to all these countries and peoples will mean very severe penalties to all who have participated in an organized effort to destroy the kind of civilization we are fighting to preserve, and will require of the Axis Powers the physical effort and financial expenditure necessary to bring justice to all who have suffered as a result of their policies.

PENNSYLVANLA AND

PRINCETON

The Navy swimming team spent the week-end of Feb. 11 and 12 away from the Naval Academy. They stopped in Philadelphia the night of Feb. 11 and won a 62 to 13 victory over the University of Pennsylvania.

The following day they tackled the Princeton natators in the "Tiger lair and won an Eastern Intercollegiate meet, 39 to 36.

The Navy's 400 yard relay team, made up of John Corse, Jim Green, Harlie Mize and Dave Maiming took their event by four feet over Princeton to defeat the Tigers. When they entered the pool, Princeton was leading 36 to 32.

The Middle 300 yard medley relay team, consisting of Brock Mott, Jack Manherz and Manning, also turned in a victory.

Henry Mayo of Navy took the fancy diving and Bob Cowell, Navy, won the 150 yard back sttoke.

BAINBRIDGE

Navy's natators, despite a galaxy of swimming stars from the Bainbridge Naval Training Station, managed to take the spotlight from the Conmiodores on Feb. 19, winning eight of ten events in a non-scoring informal meet.

The Middle squad jumped into the lead in the opening event, the 300-yard medley relay, as Tars Bob Cowell, Jack Manherz and Dave Manning swept through the water to a new Academy record of 2:59-3, thus shortening the time for this relay from 3:00.2, set by the University of North Carolina several weeks ago.

Adolph Keifer, world's backstroke champion and Chief Specialist in charge with Chuck Wallin of the U. S. Navy's aquatic warfare program at Bainbridge, nearly broke his own 150-yard backstroke record of 1:30.4 established at Honolulu in May, 1941. Keifer, with apparent ease, paced the coiuse in the Academy pool in 1:31.3.

Keifer also led the field in the 440yard free style and collected number one position in his part of the 300-yard medley relay, though his teammates. Bill Krauss and Dick Hussey, were unable to sustain the pace.

Midway in the meet, Navy's Hank Mayo and Fred Kelly and Bainbridge's Ned Diefendorf and Dick Burgess put on a high-board diving exhibition.

Diefendorf is a former Intercollegiate diving champion from the University of Michigan and Burgess is the New Eng38

Murray Kirschenbaimi of the Commodores and Metropolitan A. A. U. breast stroke champion was unable to meet the speed set by Navy's Manherz in the 200-yard breast stroke in the first of two heats for this event.

Walter Barry, captain of the Navy cross country team and National A-A.U. mile champion last year, finished 30 yards behind Julian McKenzie of North Carolina, who set a new meet record for the mile run. McKenzie turned in a mark of 4:25.; which broke the previous record of 4:27.7 set by Creamer, of Navy, in 1943.

The boxers, both young and old, had an appreciative audience.

Scoring four points on foul shots in a five minute overtime period, the Curtis Bay Coast Guard basketball squad eked out a 47-43 victory over the Navy Junior varsity quintet on Feb. 2.

The game's official time length ended in a 43-43 deadlock after Cutter forward Hal Kaufman had made a foul shot good with 15 seconds of playing time remaining and Middle jayvee guard Hirk Camp came right back and tied up the fray with another foul shot.

Successful foul shots proved the difference between victory and defeat for the Coast Guard five as they racked up 21 out of 27 attempts. Navy outscored the Cutters on field goals, accounting for a total of 18 against Curtis Bay's 13.

Cutter guard Irv Schneider tallied six foul shots out of six attempts and Kaufman took high-scoring honors for the Coast Guard with a total of nine points.

Navy's jayvee basketball squad, using three teams, had litde trouble Feb. 11 in downing the Koppers Company five from Baltimore, 69 to 23.

The Middies took a comfortable lead in the first five minutes of play, and by half time had rolled up a 29-15 advantage.

Dick Elsworth and Dick Middleton paced the Middies with 12 and 13, respectively, for their team's third win of the season.

Edgar Hubbard, Koppers forward, accounted for 12 points.

Taking It on the Chin spike Webb's boxers put on an excellent show in all its splendor Saturday night, February 12. Instead of the old traditional intercollegiate bouts that have entertained so many Academy sports fans over a long period of years, the intramural bouts (or Company Sports, as we know them) held the spot light. To color it up a bit, five Navy junior fights in the 50 to 80 lb. class were included. The little lads, some of whom were but six years of age, put on exciting encounters, keeping officers, guests and the Regiment of Midshipmen in an uproar.

177, Navy Yard, Mare Island, Cahf., sends in the following incident which need not be pointed out as an embarassing moment: When I was a cadet at the Naval Academy, Lieutenant John B was an able instructor in the non-military Department of English. He was somewhat under petticoat control.

One day the officer who conducted battalion drills was ill and Lieutenant B found himself substimted on short notice.

The battalion was formed on the parade ground in front of the "New (Quarters" of those days and facing a row of officers' apartment buildings in one of which Lieutenant B was domiciled.

The adjutant was presenting the battalion to him and he was about to draw his sword and take command when a window was thrown up behind him and an imperative female voice called out: "You John B ! Don't you dare drill those boys in that old blouse.

Come in at once and put on your new one."

LOGAN CRESAP, '05, (Comdr., USN-Ret.), President of the New York Naval Academy Association, 71 Broadway, New York 6, N . Y., Telephone BOwling Green 9-6800, sends along the following: "For the records of our class the following named members assembled at the Luncheon Club of Wall Street at 40 Wall Street, at 12:30 P.M. on Monday, January 31, 1944 to celebrate the thirtyninth anniversary of our graduation from the Academy.

"R. E. Ingersoll, A. K. Atkins, C H. Shaw, M. Campbell, H. E. Shoemaker, G. O. Carter, E. Farwell, R. B. Strassburger, J. -T. G. Stapler, S. Gordon, D. I. Sdfridge, H. F. Glover, A. C Stott, H. F. Leary, R. P. R. Neilson, L. Cresap.

"We celebrated the day this year on January 31st because January 30tii was a Sunday.

"It will be observed that several members of the dass came from considerable distances to attend this meeting, for instance Selfridge and Strassburger came up from Philadelphia, Atkins came down from Hartford, and Ingersoll from his headquarters. Nagle and Culbertson had expected to be present, but at the last minute phoned and said that they were unable to come.

"Today's meeting is the tenth consecutive meeting that those of us who live in or near New York have held on the anniversary of our graduation. The first meeting was held in 1935, and all of our meetings have taken place at the same place! Attendance has been as follows: "1935—12 members; 1936—8 members; 1937—Record lost; 1938—10 members; 1939—10 members; 1940— 16 members; 1941—17 members; 1942 —13 members; 1943—15 members; 1944—16 members.

"When one considers that our dass started out with 150 men and graduated 114, the above record takes on added interest. In former years, Washington was the place where the maximum number of members lived at any one time, but I venmre to say that New York now occupies that position.

"We had a very delightful luncheon and the party broke up at about 2:15 P. M. with a firm determination that we would get together this time next year if we possibly could."

This was the first gathering of the dass in this area in many years and gave an opportunity for a grand gab fest with some old-timers who have not met for years. Shute from Philadelphia, Foster from New London, Rogers from Davisville, R. I. and Keene from Glastpnbury, Conn, comprised the out of town group.

A delicious luncheon was served and the commodious accommodations offered by the Yale Q u b added to the enjoyment of all hands.

Archie Tumbull, busy at an Atlantic port, composed the following ode in honor of the occasion, a composition which aroused nostalgic memories in the minds of those present and which will no doubt strike a responsive chord in the hearts of others who may read it here.

Letters were read from many classmates who could not come but who sent their regrets and best wishes to all those present. The meeting broke up about 1500 and all hands voted the aimual luncheon a great idea and pledged their presence at the next one."

AVE HAIL NINETEEN-SIX! ON SUCH A DAY It bums me up to be away; To have to give this Show a miss; And so I send these lines by CHRIS! Just think! The years are forty-two Since we were plebes all wet and new; Trying to learn, from day to day.

The ropes of the U.S.N.A. Then, with Jawn Sumpter and his friends.

We made those hitches, knots and bends.

Or, feeling sure that we had beat 'em.

Fell in besides the old Antietam.

We messed our Whites with inky stencil; Went on our heads upon a pencil; In Reinhardt's Blues thought we were IT "Oh, Mr. Benson—vat a fidt!"

We tried to find a tendency On the second floor of Annex B; Or marched, in shirt-tail dress-parade On the night McNair threw that grenade.

Then hit the Tree for this and that.

Praying Tecumseh to keep us sat.

And counted "days" until we knew Exacdy when the cruise was due.

And old Corbesier—remember.-* "Now — for the May-fel of Septemberrrr!"

Getting us set for anything From Tommy Hart and Ernie King Or "Buck," that fashion-plate to see MARCH,

1944

(With die lordly rank of a full J.G.) Ordering "Unlimber!" just once more.

"Coil down those drag-ropes. Three and Four!"

At last we got that Youngster rate.

When there's nothing more to be asked of fate.

N o more to cut each corner square And to hug the wall upon every stair!

Then we rushed from drill to the old Main Gate, Just to keep a twenty-minute date With the Only Girl. Would we know her again?

On the Skinny Steps or on Lovers' Lane.

Next day, perhaps by a narrow squeak.

Climbed the futteck-shrouds on the Chesapeake, With a sharp eye down on the weather helm.

To keep us clear of that "Old Salt' Gehn!

At Class Meetings! How we yapped and yammered Until Rose Grady's shoe-brush hammered And Rosie cried, from his leathern throat.

Above the tumult: "Tisavote!"

And the hops to which some kindly pals Would drag all John Henry's extra gals; While each in mrn had to take his trick For a shipmate who had been sold a "brick."

While he gazed at a much more alluring Miss Brought up from the South by Bob Cabiniss.

Each losing his heart to a fluttered fan As only a half-baked Middy can.

Into Second Class, where you couldn't bluff, (When Cluvie was doing his Carmen stuff) When we found it so hard to make that jump From the ratchet-bar to the suctionpump!

All those Army games, with paraded bands When, out on the field or up in the stands We were all of us out to win or go bust And all too often had to bite the dust.

That night when the O.C. thought us in bed, But most of us planted a dummy instead; And, from G. Alexander to P. L. Wilson, We all frenched out to the Prince of Pilsen!

And those other nights spent, not in boning hard But in praying for luck on the draw of one card.

Oh, Lord! To sit in, only once again.

With C. McWhorter and J. S. McCain!

So on to First Class, at the top of the heap.

With those stripes and buzzards so hard to keep.

But with lots of Rates, and a gangway free— Oh, Boy, what a thing that was to be!

A hundred memories grave and gay.

Must come crowding back to our hearts to-day; Recalling, as though with a wizard's touch.

All those litde things that once meant so much.

Well—the years have passed, from those days of old Now, some of us stand here neck-high in gold; While some, perhaps in search for millions.

Have drifted away to be civilians.

Still, many of these will have found a way To get back into the fold to-day.

All of them ready to place a bet That there's lots of life in the old dog yet!

To name them all would take too much time And probably carry away this rhyme.

Well—one more thought which will always bind us— "Three cheers for those we leave behind us!"

Then lift your glasses far overhead; STAND UP! And we'll drink to "Our honored dead!"

Now—once again let us fill the cup TO NINETEEN-SIX! And THAT'S BOTTOMS U P ! ! ! ! ! !

FIRE POWER! The pattern of warfare in the Pacific is one of physical toil and hazard, calling for conspicuous gallantry on the part of our armed forces.

It is a dirty war, as d i r t y as the tactics of a cruel and tricky enemy. The incident illustrated above is typical of the stubborn terrain our troops must traverse on the long road to Tokyo.

Our fighters are firing one of the most devastating weapons in history's most destructive war, an 81 mm mortar which hurls its mighty charge great distances with deadly accuracy.

This powerful mortar is one of the production miracles of American industry, created by home front worker-fighters including patriotic employees of The F . L. Jacobs Co. who made the fuse to fire this tornado of destruction. It is our proud achievement to manufacture many major ordnance weapons or parts essential to the war effort. This war-working industry has a partnership with fighters wherever they maybe, pledging the increasing production of powerful weapons to wage a just war and win a peace secure.

"I Q O y We of '27 at Aimapolis have ' '•^' accepted Joe Danhoff's challenging suggestion to hold a meeting on the 27th of each month.

An informal get-together during the noon hour will be held at Carvel Hall on the 27th of each month. N o arrangements, no costs (except for your own lunch), no bother. 'Out of Towners' welcome, just show up at Carvel on the 27 th, buy yourself a beer or a lunch and meet some of the gang that's there.

In those months in which the 27th falls on Satiu-day or Sunday, a Saturday Night Dutch "Treat get-together with our wives along is planned at the North Severn Club Dance.

On January 27th McCaim, Fred Berry, WiUis Kern, and Harry England met at Carvel for lunch.

On February 26 Bob Quackenbush, McCann, Harry Ward, John Ewing, Vance Hull and Harry England and their wives enjoyed a Dinner Dance at North Severn Qub. It is hoped that wherever '27 may be, whether there are two or twenty-seven, that they get together. Let SHIPMATE hear from you so that the meeting places all over the world can be given pubUcity so that newcomers may drop in.

EARL K. "SWEDE" VAN SWEARINGEN, '27, (Comdr., U S N ) , at sea, writes: "At present I'm busy trying to whip a bunch of college boys into naval officers—the ISARD is rather new—and though willing it is difficult to cram a five or ten year education in Naval matters into the same number of months.

We hit the highspots and the kids do amazingly well.

"We did have Lt. Col. H . D . (Snowy) Hansen as our visitor recendy. He came aboard on an inspection trip of the various Marine Aviation Quartermaster units. He spent the better part of one day in our QM activities while I played host to a Lt. Comdr. Chapman and a Lt. Bracey who are out here from the ASO in PhUly. My boss, Lt. Comdr.

C M. Boundy (SC), USNR, is at present on a trip to Washington. Our Colonel gave a small cocktail party the other day for Hansen, and it was there that I found he was out of '27, and it was the first time that I have ever been able to get anyone to admit that '27 was hard on the plebes in '30. He admitted that the plebes in the 4th Batt had a fairly easy time, and "Snow7' almost waxed sympathetic when I mentioned a few of the First Qassmen in the 4th Batt, and particularly the 8th Company. But, once again I was very conscious of my advancing years as I looked at the stripe and a half on my sleeve, and the Colonel's silver oak leaf!! Oh well, I guess I am doing my 'doot)'.' "'Lt. Comdr.

A short note from Hugh "Hugo" Maples, a few days ago, informed us that Hugh is at U. S. Naval Chemical Warfare Unit, Dugway Proving Grounds, Tooele, Utah, taking a short course preparatory to taking over a new job with a unit out in the Pacific.

Hugh just completed duty over in England.

Am expecting to enjoy a visit with him about February 1st.

At the same time 1 hope to see Johnny Roenigk and 'Al' Benedict, who indicated they would stop by on their way 'out there.'

C. B. Paine is in San Francisco for a short visit becoming re-acquainted with wife and boasting of a new baby. Budwell is navigator of a baby flattop, converted from a C-3.

You wear the Cluff Life Jacket and you know it has met all the rigid Navy specifications. Still, there is something in them that even the thorough-going Navy can't put down on paper.

We have litde to offer this time but still will attempt at least to say 'hello.'

We trust that all you '36ers and all you alumni, too, had the pleasiure of reading about the exploits of our own "Gus' Hutchins in the December SHIPMATE. For those of you that don't have a Lucky Bag handy, we want to call your attention to the fact that judging from 'Scrappy' Crawford's biography of his "wife," it's quite reasonable that 'Hutch' should have been in the center of such a batde.

To quote "Scrappy,' "You can search far before you will find a man with more determination and grit than "Hutch." Handicapped by his size and injuries he persisted in seeking that award coveted by all Navy football men, an N*, only to have a shotdder or knee pulled just prior to the annual mssle.

After seeing a man have a lacrosse stick broken over his gonk, he decided that lacrosse was his sport. Hence he played his first game as a yovmgster and made the first string Ham and Eggers as a second classman. Desiring closer contact with King Neptune than he was getting as one of Unde Sam's Naval Cadets, he became one of the co-owners of the thirty foot palatial job SMALL FRY. In these four years "Hutch' has proved himself more than a wife."

As far as we know, no acknowledgement has been made in these columns, on any of SHIPMATE'S Rolls of Honor or in the Altmini Registers that "Gus' ever remrned to active duty. We're glad that you called the oversight to our attention, 'Gus' particularly in the bangup way in which you did it. Our hats are off to you, the most famous member of a great class.

We were glad to hear from Jack Shepard, Randy Meade and Bill Near again. Glad diat you got all the red tape cut. Randy and that the new member of the '36 family is getting acquainted.

Our congramlations to J. O. Phillips and his bride, the latest addition to our family. We are all wishing you much happiness.

A recent mail brought the good news that a new '33 junior was launched on Sunday, January 16 in the person of 5Vk pound, blue-eyed, black haired Donald Elliot White, Jr. The proud parents are Dan and Virginia White.

It's their first. Dan, as far as we know is still working for Sperry at Hoboken.

The work is still going along fine and you fellows who have anything to do with Hellcats, Avengers, and Corsairs will probably be interested to know that we just completed our best month to date in the manufacmre of parts for these jobs. We'll keep them coming, better and more of 'em. You can register any squawks with me. Address is still the same: Upper Ferry Road, Rt. 1, Ewingville, Trenton, New Jersey.

FOR THE DEAR OLD CLASS OF '36 B Y CHARLES J. ELLIS, '36 (Lt., USNR) A rather belated summary of the events concerning the marriage of my roommate—one Randy Meade. The announcement has already been made that he married an English gal in Brazil.

That smnned me no end and I quietly kept my mouth shut. Marrying a foreigner, in a foreign country with none of '36 on hand to witness it is strictly illegal. Randy was so informed but claims legality—it's a long story so here it is. We are smck with Audrey now as part of '36 so you may as well get the details.

By the grapevine I finally discovered that Randy, after looking over the crop.

Mineola, N . Y .

decided to make the move with a gal that none of us knew anything about.

Realizing the highly irregular semp and to try and convince us he has three weddings. Apparently these English gals have heard so much about divorces over here that they take no chances. First there was a civil ceremony for the benefit of the Brazilians, this was apparently very mild and was put on for the benefit of the natives in case they ever travelled in the jungles and needed protection.

Seeing as how Audrey was under the flag that the sun never sets on they had to call in a representative of the Archbishop of Canterbury and get the thing done up with robes and wigs and all that smff. But poor Randy wasn't married yet and so that his children could proudly claim the title of posterity and pay taxes in the U. S. he had it all done over again by a special envoy of the State Department sent down by FDR. Anyway they now claim to be Mr. and Mrs. However I hear they went on at least one honeymoon in between a couple of those ceremonies—Hmmm —don't know whether that's legal or not.

Shortly thereafter Randy advises he's bringing Audrey up here to exhibit to '36 and get a first (or fourth) endorsement. God forbid—shades of first class cruise. An English gal—right in our midst. 1 trembled with fear. I remembered a couple of bricks in London and Edinburgh and couldn't imagine such a thing. Randy—a good rebel, always picking the cream of Southern Belles for his drags now doing a thing like this.

Then I heard he had jungle fever. Obviously loco and the poor guy had been

EDMUND "MART' J. HOFFMAN, '36, (Lt. Comdr., USN), from the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia sends this along: ""A bit of news of '36—just a bit, however, because they are so thin that a good grapevine does not even exist.

Saw Ed King several weeks during the past six months—he is exec of a new D. D.—Also Gus Hutchins is skipper of an old one.

"Mitch had not seen his kid brother John Jenks MitcheU, in two years. Now was his chance. John Jenks, 21 years old and not long out of Annapolis, had been an ensign on the W A S P and was now in a New Hebrides hospital awaiting transportation South. ""When we got to the Quonset hut where John Jenks was, we found the boy lying quietly under a ferocious beard, his leg stretched out in one of those grisly chromium and plaster and sand-bagged contraptions. ""John Jenks could barely mrn his head, but he saw Mitch. "Why you old no-good son of a gun,' he said. " "You gob-eared so-and-so,' Mitch replied, and the two shook hands in a way fonder than kissing, each very close to tears. When Mitch asked what had happened, the boy said: " "There was a loud, unruly noise.

Something like a railroad train going up a flight of iron stairs. Then it was 10 days later and I wanted a cigarette.

That's the whole story.' ""But it wasn't and shipmates in nearby beds began to fill in events. "" "As a matter of fact,' John Jenks put in, 'this ward has been like a fraternity house on the morning after, each man telling what he did while under the influenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the influence being high explosives.'

"The first torpedo hit the W A S P right under the feet of Ensign MitcheU, whose gun station was on a thin-skinned deck directly over a 1000 pound bomb. The torpedo, bomb, gun and crew aU went up together. "" "I started fpr the pearly gates,' said

He said it very seriously. Then he grinned. "I thereupon landed on the bridge smack at the feet of my superiors in a posmre unbecoming a junior officer —flat on my back.'

'A companion volunteered that the bridge was 60 feet away, and 30 feet higher than the ensign's gun station.

"When John Jenks landed he was considerably more dead than alive. The chances are a doctor would have passed him up as a bad risk. But there was no doctor on the bridge, so Lt. Courtney Shands and Comdr. J. Beakley strapped the boy to a raft and lowered it to the calm sea.

Plastic hands were made for him. The tendons were tied to cords in the artificial hands. Now he can write, make a fist, pick up a cup and drink, do other things.

I have seen men who have lost both legs get fitted with artificial legs and walk after a litde practice. They have been given legs that have a pendulum in the thigh that unlatches and latches a lock in the knee at a jerk of the thigh to permit the wearer to stand erect or walk ofiF. They are legs that rock at the ankle and bend at the toes for namralness.

There have been men whose faces had been mangled. By the skill of the plastic surgeon, new faces have been molded for them that in some cases have only small scars to recall the wound.

There have been other men who have had running sores that would not heal— the eflFects of shattered bones—but treatment with penicillin, that new drug made from mold, has healed the wound.

W^e W^aiting W^ives —Custom, R e g u l a t i o n a n d Courtesy— This month, in looking about for something to keep this page in step, 1 found that BuPerseis responsible for a good many things. Among others, the military salute, and they write the regulations for it.

Most of us have heard it whispered about that a man in uniform is not supposed to be so burdened with packages as to be unable to salute, should the occasion arise. This is no idle rumor, there are many reasons why you should carry the baby and two suitcases, if necessary.

Historically, these reasons go back to Roman times or earlier, and with many modifications come right up to present day regulations laid down by the Bureau of Personnel. In ancient times two men approaching each other raised right hands, palm outward to signify friendship, and no concealed weapons.

From here, it was but a step to knighthood and the visored helmet which covered the face. Raising the visor denoted friendly intentions. It was the duty of the junior knight to salute first in this way, although how the matter of seniority was determined if the other knight was completely done up in his tin when first sighted, is undecided In any case the salute was undoubtedly a gesmre of uncovering, and from the earliest days the junior uncovered first. Gradually the business of removing the cap was shortened into a salute.

Even so, this took a good many years to accomplish, because in many matters of naval procedure the American Navy followed British customs, and for over a hundred years the British varied and changed their orders between removing the cap entirely, touching the cap or saluting. There was no uniformity in either Navy in this matter until, a woman took a hand. Queen Victoria settled the matter for once and for all by issuing royal decree, and after reviewing in a rainstorm men who were undercovered, that the hand salute would suffice.

other when meeting. Always the junior salutes first, therefore the ranking admiral in our Navy rates a salute from over two million men and women serving under his command, but meeting a British Admiral of the Fleet or a Russian Marshal he salutes first. Both positions outrank any in our military system.

Interesting aside to the above is the rule that in peace time seniors should be saluted if recognized while wearing civilian clothes, in wartime officers wearing civilian clothes may be doing so because there is official reason for not having their identity known, so discrimination should be exercised.

—Sunk—

As a digression from the usual description of campaign ribbons, there is the story of the thousands of medals found in the hold of a sunken Italian freighter, by divers. These had apparently been struck by the German and Italian goverimients to celebrate the triumphant march of their legions into Alexandria.

On one face of the medal Italian and German soldiers were shown pulling the teeth of a crocodile, which represented the Nile country. Only tragic part of the loss of these medals was that the governIn most cases officers know the rela- ments concerned had thoughtfully protive seniority of those they may meet, but vided a common safety pin with each there are situations ashore where it is medal, and these were sunk too. Thouimpossible, and as the book says, they sands of safety pins, wasted that way! can't go around asking each other their date of rank, so the procedure is to follow the rule for flag officers; Should they be of the same rank or grade, but seniority unknown, shall mumally salute without delay. Line officers take preceThe dence, and staff officers salute first.

With the introduction of the Women's Reserve into the Navy, the rules remained the same, although it is customary for the officer to salute first, when encountering a woman officer of the Incorporated same rank unless she is a staff officer, because he is a gentleman; he MAY salute first even though she is staff, for the same reason.

L. A. BENSON CO.,

There is little difference between the customs of the Army and Navy about saluting, but there are several small points. For instance Navy personnel never salute when uncovered. Army do.

Naval custom permits saluting with the left hand when the right cannot readily be used. Army custom holds to the right hand only. The use of the word of greeting such as good morning, or good evening, when saluting is a Navy custom.

When Army and Navy meet on shore the Navy salutes first, on ship the Army. This last is an exchange of courtesy, not a regulation.

There are hundreds more regulations and reasons about this method of greetAll the whys and the wherefores, the ing, and even the ladies have not been whens and the hows are too numerous to forgotten, because it is customary "to cover, but as we observe saluting daily salute a lady acquaintance when meeting on the streets, we can understand some upon the street as a form of greeting, and when departing from her company on of the intricacies. the street."

In the Navy, and its true of every miliSome might think, with the hurry of tary service in the world everyone salutes, and these services salute each wartime, that observance of so many cusMARCH,

toms might be a little too precise and unnecessary, but it is a fact that, and especially in wartime, civilians watch the men in uniform and look for the salute.

Consciously or unconsciously they realize that these salutes, properly understood, properly given, and properly returned, signify a strength of organization working for a common purpose.

A bomb bursts 14 yards away. The air comes rushing. You feel as if two great clamps have fastened on your body and they squeeze tighter and tighter until it feels as if every bone in your body was being crushed. Blood squirts from your nose. Then darkness. You have fainted.

That happened in the summer of 1942. Now, in January, 1944, you are home, apparently settling down at last, nine months after discharge. You had had malaria in Guadalcanal before that bomb gave you an internal injury from concussion. You spent months in hospitals all the way to America.

After that air raid, you had a tough time sleeping. Any time a plane went over, you jumped out of bed. You got back to a hospital in California, and even there you leaped when planes went over. But slowly you came out of it under the good treatment.

You got home in April last year . . . three bucks in your pocket... $112 back pay coming. What you wanted most was a swell suit of civvies and a car.

So you took a job assembling axles in a war plant. But riveters worked dose by and the noise jangled your nerves. You kept at it because they paid SI.20 an hour and you'd bought that suit and got a car and still owed on it.

After a while, it was too much. So you shifted to driving a taxi. But your passengers were too talkative. They got on your nerves. Then you shifted to driving a truck. And just about that time, your malaria came back. For the next two months you were in the veterans hospital at Milwaukee. While there, you learn that you are entitled to vocational training and that brings back memories of your old ambition to be a toolmaker—to make something with your hands. You sign up, and now, at 19, you are at a big plant taking an apprentice course. You are getting 43^ an hour and the Veterans' Administration is paying you $80 a month additional.

mountain-tumbled battleground of interior Italy is the new coastal front opened up south of Rome.

Broad, flat plains spread from the banks of Rome's Tiber River southeastward as far as the port of Terracina.

Allied-captured Nettuno, 30 miles south of Rome, is about halfway along the 70mile shoreline. From Nettuno to the nearest point on the mountain battle line that cuts across the Italian peninsula to the south, the airline distance is nearly 60 miles. Half of the hop is across the plains, the rest over surrounding mountains.

Roughly rectangular, with sweeping scalloped shores, Rome's coastal lowlands include an area of some 600 square miles between the sea and the mountains. Its terrain is especially favorable for tank operations. With the exception of some straggling mountain spurs, occasional streams, marshes, and wooded sections, there are few natural obstacles to bar the progress of the inland-driving Yank, British, and French forces.

class road and a Drancn railway run side by side to meet highways and rails bound for the "Eternal City" from the north. Another parallel road-and-rail set pushes inland from Nettuno to connect with communications approaching Rome from the south. Still another railway roughly rims the mountainenclosed plain from its starting point at Terracina; and from the same port a section of the famous Appian Way strikes out in a 65-mile dash for Rome through the once fever-plagued Pontine Marshes.

The Pontine region, in the southern half of the coastal plains, was for centuries one of the most unhealthful spots in the world.

"One does not live, one dies" was the shepherd's legendary reply when a visitor asked how he lived there.

From ancient times, popes and kings sought to redeem this malarial marshland by drainage and other construction projects. In 1926 the Italian Government began reclamation work on a large scale. With the help of the Rockefeller Foundation, the malarial scourge was tamed, as bogs and lakes were gradually cleared of the stagnant, mosquito-breeding water.

Old Roman canals, which at one time

had made parts of this area livable and productive, were recut, and new ones were dug. New roads were built. Colonists were moved in' from the heavily populated provinces of northern and central Italy.

Special Phenomena Over the Oceans (Continued from page 21) beautiful eflfect of blue or gray, alternating with reddish, bands. When the sun is above the horizon and partially obscured by clouds, the rays may be seen extending downward to the horizon.

Crepuscular rays present some strikingly beautiful effects at sunrise and sunset from the ship at sea.

Green flash is a phenomenon of sunset or sunrise which may be especially well observed at sea, where the horizon is well defined. As the sun is sinking, so that only a narrow bit of the upper edge is visible and just about to disappear, its color changes to brilliant green, blending into blue. The green and blue rays are bent a little farther downward than the red and yellow rays and so are separated, as by a prism, the green and blue rays disappearing last.

At sunrise the process is reversed and the green and blue rays come first.

Rainbou.

Everyone is familiar with the rainbow; it is especially beautiful at sea. The rainbow may have primary and secondary bows and in some cases there may be supernumerary bows.

Rainbows are produced by a complicated process of refraction, reflection and interference of light on passing through raindrops. The observer, facing the rainbow, has the sun at his back and a sheet of falling rain in the foreground.

T

HE radius of the primary is about 42°, hence the sun must be less than 42 ° above the horizon. The secondary bow has a radius of about 50°.

Between the primary and secondary the sky appears darker than in the space inside the primary bow. The primary bow has red outside while the secondary has red inside.

Rainbows formed by the moon are faint but sometimes are clearly observed near the time of full moon.

At sea, bows may be seen in the spray of ocean waves, or indeed, in any place where water drops are thrown into the sunlight. A rainbow, colorless or nearly so, is formed in fog; it is called a fogbow.

warmer, followed by cooler, winds, and alternating periods of rainy and clearing weather, often has a clearly defined shift line where the wind changes suddenly to a westerly direaion with a sharp drop in temperatiure. Sometimes the wind shifts with a sudden shower and a squall. This marks the arrival of the "cold front," where cold air is underruiming and replacing the warm air; sometimes a roll cloud forms along the front. Owing to perspective the roll cloud appears to be shaped, as some sailors say, like a cigar. This phenomenon is not usually visible in the city or in hilly country but at sea the long roll of doud, tapering to a point far away toward the horizon, is a sight to remember.

As the cold front and roll doud draws near, the wind may come out suddenly in a hard squall; a decided change in temperature is sure to follow.

When a cold wind blows out over a warm water surface, like the Gulf Stream, fog forms in wreaths resembling smoke.

St. Elmo's Fire or Corposants. Perhaps no description of weather at sea would be complete without some reference to the "fires of St. Elmo," also called "corposants."

This phenomenon is

simply a brush discharge of electricity from elevated objects, such as the masts and yardarms of ships, steeples, and lightning rods of chinrches and other buildings, usually observed in stormy weather. It is by no means confined to the sea; in fact, it is more common on mountain tops.

On sailing ships, especially, it is sometimes a weird and starding display, hence it has been most generally described in the accounts of navigators before the days of steamships.

The wireless aerial, masts, trucks, jackstays, and aerial insulators are mentioned in the accounts from steamships as the points where the displays are seen.

All the high projecting points become tipped with the glow or flames of electrical discharges, usually accompanied by a crackling or hissing sound.

The hat and fingers of the observer may glow with the discharge but he suffers no inconvenience except a slight tingling sensation. One observer on a steamship reported: "During this time the vessel presented a remarkable appearance. On the truck of the foremast there was a flame about a foot and a half high and a foot across and, from the truck to about thirty feet down the mast, balls of fire, half an inch

The difi^erences of electrical potential between the atmosphere and objects on the surface of the earth are the causes of electrical discharges which are probably going on all of the time, usually with very slight intensity, but in stormy weather differences of potential are such that the discharges from elevated objects may become greatly exaggerated.

On a celebrated occasion the Prince of Wales (later King Edward) experienced the phenomenon of St. Elmo's fire on the summit of the Puy-de-Dome (France) on June 25, 1888. He took off his hat and his hair stood on end.

When he lifted his arms above his head an electrical discharge took place through his finger-tips.

The phenomenon of corposants has been recognized from antiquity. Caesar's soldiers were terrified when they saw flames dart from the tips of their pikes and swords. "In the month of February about the second watch of the night, a thick cloud suddenly arose followed by a shower of hail. The same night the points of the spears belonging to the Fifth Legion seemed to take fire."— Caesar's Commentaries.

With dazzling motorcycle speed he has throttled the lamentations with a pumpless solution.

MARYL.4ISD BRAIKCH The Stafford Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland was the scene of a delightful "get-together" of the Maryland Branch on Saturday, February 19, when a large group of Alumni, wives, sweethearts and guests assembled promptly at 8:30 P.M., to forget for a few hours their daily tasks and aaivities. The reason? Bearing in mind the enjoj'able time at the last party no one wished to miss the February affair Quite a choice bar was set up in the ballroom and, to the strains of Rivers Chambers Orchestra, many performed the light fantastic toe while others played Bingo . . . and some indulged in both diversions.

All Alumni in Baltimore or vicinity or passing through are heartily invited to attend our meetingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a good time awaits everyone.

For further information concerning the Maryland Branch please communicate with W. Beverly Bristor, '27, Secretary, Aintree and Hastings Road, Towson, Maryland.

YORK BRANCH

The Association's Monthly Luncheon was held Wednesday, February 9, at the Midday Qub, N. Y. C. There was an attendance of 124 members and guests. Captain Leland P. Lovette, '18, USN, Direaor of Public Relations, U. S. Navy Department was our speaker He gave us a most interesting story of his recent visit to theatres of operations in Europe and the Mediterranean. Announcement was made that in lieu of the Monthly Luncheon in March, The Annual Dinner would be held on Friday, March 10th in the Balsildon Room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The eleaion of officers whose terms expire at this time will be held. Captain Logan Cresap, '05, Comdr.

USN (Ret) has been nominated to succeed himself as President and Lt. Comdr. Lee Calvert, '14, USN ( R e t ) has been nominated to succeed Mr. N . O. Wynkoop, '16, as Vice President. For further information concerning the New York Branch please communicate with Lt. Comdr. William B. Jupp, '13, USN, (Ret.), Secretary, 26 Broadway, N. Y. C.

SAN FRANCISCO BRANCH SAN FRANCISCO DINNER In attendance, our February dinner was the largest to date; the number approximated 110, a great many of whom are quite well known in theii particular fields of activity.

We enjoyed having with us for this dinner the following members of the Fourth Air Force: Major General William E. Lynd (AC), U. S. Army, Commanding General, his Chief of Staff, Brigadier General E. C. Kiel (AC), U. S. Army; Brigadier General Connell (AC), U. S. Army and Captain E. G. Morrison (AC), U. S. Army, Aide to General Lynd.

At former dinners, through the courtesy of the Fourth Air Force, we have been favored with

MARCH,

1944

some most enjoyable talks by Air Officers, who have seen combat service, and in consequence, we were doubly glad to have General Lynd and his associates with us on this occasion.

On the other hand, there was a decided degree of disappointment at the absence of Vice Admiral Greenslade, Vice Admiral Bagley, Rear Admiral Osterhaus, Rear Admiral Wright, Rear Admiral Woods (MC) and Major General Marston, USMC. The farewell party to Admiral Greenslade on the relinquishment of his command of the 12th Naval District and of the Western Frontier, precluded their being with us and we missed them all very much indeed.

Among our other distinguished guests were Owen Lattimore, head of the Office of War Infotmation in this area; Erich Baume, Foreign Editor of the Truth newspapers of Austtalia and New Zealand entoute to Sidney; Templeton Crocker, American Red Cross; D. Porter Duniap, Bank of America; Robert Dwan, KGO Broadcasting Station; Hugh McErlean, British Vice Consul; Lt. Comdr. M. S. Wytema, Royal Netherlands Navy; Harold Turnblad, Associated Press; Ward Cleaveland of Time-Life-Fortune; and John H. Anderton, Marineship Corporation.

Among our Navy crowd, we were very happy indeed to have with us Captain Harvey Delano (1906), and" his son, Viaor Delano (1941), Commander F. T. Williamson (1931) and Captain H. E. Odell (MC).

USN. For the events of the evening our program was divided into three parts.

First, Capt. John E. Anderton, U. S. Army, gave us a brief but "straight from the shoulder" talk on the operations in New Guinea; Capt. Anderton but recently returned to the United States from Australia after twelve months' combat service in New Guinea and is now enroute back into the Pacific. He concluded his talk with a snappy little comment on the candidacy of General MacArthur for the presidency. Capt. Anderton advised that many people have asked him what General MacArthur says on this question and Capt.

Anderton's answer is to the effea that his last conversation with General MacArthur was very brief and definitely to the point. Shortly before leaving Australia, Capt. Anderton was in Brisbane and as he passed the entrance to the hotel in the early morning hours, General MacArthur blithely stepped out of the door and into his machine at the curb. As General MacArthur passed him, Capt. Anderton saluted and said, "Good morning. General."

General MacArthur in return saluted Capt.

Anderton and said, "Good morning. Captain."

The conversation then concluded and so Capt.

Anderton cannot say for sure whether or not.

General MacArthur is a candidate.

Next, in advance of the event of the evening "With The Marines at Tarawa" we were greatly indebted to Ward Cleaveland of TimeLife-Fortune for bringing with him the March of Time sound film, "And Then Japan." It was a summation of newsreel shots of things Japanese and concluded with a timely animated map of the Pacific showing by moving streams of atrows the three approaches through the Pacific to the heatt of the Japanese empire.

Finally, Capt. Notman H. White, Jr., USMCR, gave a brief talk on the story of this great war film "With The Matines At Tatawa" and introduced the guest speaker.

Marine Corps Correspondent Sergeant Ben Roscoe. The films shown were advance copies of the complete film that is now in the process of being edited and coordinated both for sound and for color. The pirtures themselves, tell a true and vivid story of the battle of Tarawa and with the splendid explanatory talk

by Sergeant Roscoe, we voted a great and unanimous appreciation both to General Marston and to the U. S. Marine Corps for the privilege of seeing these advance picmres.

Our April dinner promises to be a most interesting program. British Consul General Godfrey A. Fisher, has scheduled Lt. Barklie Lakin, DSO, DSC, and DAR Royal Navy to tell us of submarine operations off Murmansk and in the Mediterranean. Lt. Lakin holds the Distinguished Service Older, the Distinguished Service Cross and Bar and the United States Legion of Merit, the latter awarded for his work in the invasion of Sicily.

With a rising vote of thanks to our guest speakers of the evening the dinner and meeting adjourned.

Our San Francisco dinner meetings are held on the first Wednesday evening of every month; for information, please communicate with Haller Belt (1908), Room 1001, 593 Market Street, San Francisco, (GArfield 0695).

WASHINGTON, D. C. BRANCH The February meeting of the Naval Academy Alumni Association of Washington, D. C , was held on Thursday evening, February 17, 1944, at 8:30 P.M., at the Officers' Club, 1400 New Hampshire Avenue, N. W., Washington, D. C. Admiral Gillmor presided. A. E. Tarantino was appointed temporary Secretary and a nominating committee consisting of George Powell, Chairman; Harry H. Dreany, A. S. Wilgus, E. P. Dorner, H. C. Merwin, and W. F. Bullis, as well as a committee on committees consisting of H. C. Metwin, Chairman; G. D. O'Brien and E. B. Gibson, Jr., were eleaed.

After the meeting. Commander H. H. Dreany, USNR, Class of 1932, who is now the Assistant Commandant of the U. S. Maritime Service, the organization that trains thousands of merchant seamen and has made it possible for merchant vessels to deliver the goods, as well as save lives, talked on the vast government training program involved. The talk was supplemented by a movie which first illustrated the experiences too frequently encounteted at sea by our merchant vessels and one which illustrated to what extent and how the U. S. Maritime Service was training the great numbei of men necessary to man the merchant ships of our Viaory Fleet.

The following members were present: O. K. Baker, G. R. Balthis, W. F. Boyer, F. D. Bradley, W. F. Bullis, E. P. Dorner, H. H. Dreany, B. C. Duncan, E. B. Gibson, Jr., Admiral Gillmor, E. R.

On the Beam RANK SINCLAIR, a member of the Milwaukee Journal F staff, and author of the "Wounded Will Not Be Forgotten" in this issue, is easily one of the outstanding authorities on existing and pending measures for relief of war wounded. Representing a great newspaper, Sinclair has traveled all over the countr)', interviewing men charged with the responsibility of repairing broken men and has perhaps a wider knowledge of the subject than any other writer in America. A series of artides which he wrote on Army and Navy rehabilitation plans ran for several months in the Journal and were later reprinted in pamphlet form. Army and Navy ofiicials felt he had done such an outstanding job that SHIPMATE asked him to condense his knowledge of the subject into the article which appears in this issue. * * * * * the publication this month of "Special Phenomena WITH Over The Oceans" from Mr. Ivan Ray Taimehill's new book "Weather Around The World," SHIPMATE reluctandy brings to a close this series of interesting articles based on Mr. Taimehill's vast knowledge of weather in all of its vagaries. The author is a member of the United States Weather Bureau and at the present time is head of a section furnishing vital weather information to the armed forces. * * * * * CHIPMATE is especially grateful to Admiral Halsey for *^ his kindness in sending the special message to members of the Association, which is reprinted in this issue. * * * * *

T

HE work of Vernon Howe Bailey is well known to most Naval officers since he has carried out many assignments for the Navy Department under a special contract. We are indebted to the editors of THINK, organ of the International Business Machines Corporation, for permission to reprint the short article and the sketches on "Rome, The Eternal City," which appears in this issue. * * * * *

T

HE April issue of SHIPMATE will be devoted to current aviation activities of the United States Navy. A special article on how carriers operate as part of the fleet including a detailed picmre of carrier based planes and their functions

by Lieutenant George Polk, USNR, will be the feamred article in this issue.

Heroes and Bond Sales

T

HE thundering salvos of modern battlewagons and escorting warships are highlights of but a part of today's action at sea, although the most dramatic part. There are, however, a nimaber of other aspects of life aboard ship during action at sea or the interludes between contacts with the enemy that are of particular interest.

Fleet reports indicate that one of the most successfid developments during these interludes are War Bond allotment campaigns carried on by ship's complement, with the frequent result of 100 per cent participation by the complement.

The story of the destroyer BUCHANAN points up this trend. During a recent interval between actions, with the gun batteries still warm, the BUCHANAN'S officers and crew signed up for more than 90 per cent participation in an allotment campaign, and this instance has been repeated frequently on other ships. As of 24 February, more than 1,280,00() allotments had been registered by personnel of the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, with the tide rising to flood proportions.
