THE EYES AND THE EARS OF THE NAVY

RAYTHEON ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT U N every mighty battlewagon of the Navy—in every naval fight—Navy men operate electronic equipment built by the twenty thousand skilled workers of Raytheon.

It is high priority, high precision equipment—designed to withstand the shock of battle. Producing this equipment is the number one and only job at Raytheon —until the last shot is fired.

After the war, Raytheon will help build that better world through new developments in electronics.

Tune in "MEET YOUR NAVY"—on the Blue Network. See your newspaper for time and station.

This famous book has been a standard textbook of the U. S. N a v a l Academy for nearly fifty years.

Now it has been revised a n d brought u p - t o ^ a t e , t o take account of the m a n y advances made ance the beginning of the war.

Chapters have been rearranged in convenient lengths for individual study. There are numerous illustrations, and much descriptive matter on the latest developments in naval constructions and the changes made necessary in navigation and seamanship.

Because of the importance of amphibious operations, a new chapter on landing craft discusses the development of a n entire series of specialized vessels and their use in landing on enemy beaches.

Refueling a t sea, a procedure developed in this war, is explained in the chapter on "Towing and Transfer."

The section on Weather has been entirely rewritten b y Professor Frederick L . Caudle, of Wisconsin S t a t e Teachers College, in accordance with modem practices a n d discoveries. I t is designed primarily for the seaman who must evaluate and take action on the weather report rather than for the meteorologist who prepares it.

The chapters on "Rules of the R o a d " have been rearranged more conveniently. T h e y cover the principles upon which the rules are based, compare the four main systems, and include color plates designed to assist in recognizing approaching vessels.

To r e t a i n t h e t r a d i t i o n a l reference v a l u e of "Knight's Seamanship," factual information and tabular material in the five apjjendices have been checked and brought u p t o date. T h e handy glossary of Naval Terms and Definitions again apfjears near the end of the volume.

By means of a patented balancing channel in the lower valve stem, the Henry Diaphragm Packless Valve caimot stick shut regardless of the pressure differential above or below the valve seat. When using a conventional valve, there is alwa>-s the possibility that a valve installed in reversed position could fail to open if sufficiently high pressures should develop above the seat. The Henry Diaphragm Packless Valve, however, can be relied upon to give positive performance under all conditions of service because it is truly non-directional.

You will also like the Henry feature of having inlet and outlet ports in line on two way and three way valves. This eliminates tube bending and results ia neater lines and lower instsillation costs. During the war Henry Diaphragm Packless Valves have been widely favored by all branches of the armed services.

concerned. Only recently, however, that cloak has been lifted enough to pry loose the artides that are featured in this special issue. In our personal opinion, it has been unfortunate that, whUe the Army Signal Corps has been one of the most pubhcized of military branches, rhe Nav)'s own counterpart has received almost no public recognition — and this despite the fact that the Navy's communication problems are more complex and, on the whole, more newsworthy.

Therefore, we are especially proud to present "Nervous System of a Nav)%" by Rear Admiral Joseph R. Redman, USN. Director of Naval Cocomunications. It gives a comprehensive picture of the scope of the Naval Communications system and contains some startling facts on how the job has grown.

Pay bills, compensation bills, bills providing new rights and privileges for Navy men have up to now been under Congressional consideration for months — and in some cases have been passed—^without fanfare and without the knowledge of those most affected by the legislation.

comment on weather ships. But Tom Bernard, in the article commencing on page 30, shows that it is among the most vital jobs in the Navy as well. The role of these watchdogs of the air and sea lanes has been little publicized up to now, but we think you will agree that they make an interesting yarn. ' T ' H E presence of Capt. Anthony •*• Kimmons ("The Royal Navy at Okinawa") at invasions seems by now to be a matter of course. Besides being among rhe first group to set foot on Normandy, he has been with the British troops that landed in Norway, North Africa, Pantelleria, Sicily and Salerno; with the United States Forces in the landings on Kwajalein; as well as with the British Pacific Fleet off Okinawa.

He also has been on convoys on Malta and Murmansk runs and was in one of the planes which bombed the TiRPlTZ in its hiding place in Alten Fjord. He has seen service with the Fleet Air Arm, in submarines and in surface craft. He returned to service at the outbreak of the present war and is now with Naval Intelligence. In addition to his Naval duties, Kimmons is also a successful playwright and author, probably his best-known play being "While Parents Sleep."

"How in the hell did we miss?" screamed one of the Navy Avenger pilots on the radio.

Two torpedoes had been aimed at a Japanese battleship but the vessel maneuvered frantically when it spotted the two "tin fish" and "combed" them successfully. One passed 20 feet to the port of the enemy warship, the other ran 20 feet to the starboard.

The Avenger pilots, Lt. (jg) Robert F. Voltz, USNR, 7130 Paxton Avenue, Chicago, 111., and Lt. (jg) George W. Gaiennie, USNR, 728 Wilkinson Street, Shreveport, La., were disgusted with their failure to score a hit on the big Jap ship when, suddenly, there occurred one of the most remarkable incidents in the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea off Samar.

As the two pilots turned south over the cruiser which led the enemy formation, their aircrewmen spotted the wakes of the still running torpedoes. They had missed the battleship, but were running straight towards an ATAGO class heavy cruiser. For some reason, the cruiser failed to change course.

Both torpedoes scored direct hits— one amidships, the other near the stern.

Two tremendous explosions followed, the ship heeled ovef and sank.

The two torpedoes which igissed had claimed a prize victim. . "% .-

THE BASIS OF SOVIET STRENGTH,

by

George B. Cressey. Whittlesey House. $3.00.

Resources of land and minerals—and the dynamic character of the Russian people—are the strength of the Soviet Union. Mr. Cressey, in this book on the Soviet, does not bother with opinion or political and economic theory. Instead, he makes a survey of Russia's raw materials, her pioneering agriculture, climate, expanding industry, racial backgrounds and regional charaaeristics.

Within the USSR live one-tenth of the world's people, in a country which makes up one-seventh of the globe. Professor Cressey, as Chairman of the Department of Geology and Geography at Syracuse University, is a well-known authority on Soviet geography. He has made five trips across Siberia, with visits to Arctic and Middle Asia, as well as to Soviet Europe.

Here is a book for the reader who wants to know more about Russia as a country rather than a political entity. If you like readable geography, this is your volume.

by James D. Horan, G. P. Futnam's Sons; $2.50.

ACTION TONIGHT,

From batde reports and from interviews with members of her crew, James Horan has pieced together a full and dramatic account of the destroyer O'BANNON'S remarkable South Pacific record.

In the course of a year, from 7 Oct. 1942 to 7 Oct. 1943, this fighting little ship took part in five major surface engagements, seven bombardments, three dangerous rescue operations, countless patrols, convoys and engagements with Jap planes. These actions are all recounted here, and the author has recaptured the tension and profane desperation of those dark days. Admiral Halsey pays additional tribute to the O ' B A N N O N and her sister destroyers in a foreword: "Out-numbered, out-gunned, . . . they stood toe-to-toe with the best the Japanese Fleet could offer—and never failed to send them scurrying home with their tails between their legs.... They derailed the Tokio Express so often that the Japanese admirals ran out of excuses. N o medals, however high, can reward the gallant men of the tin-can fleet for their brave deeds." {Continued on page 12) JULY, 1945

edited by Gordon Carroll; Duell, Sloan & Pearce; $3.00.

From more than 8,000,000 words filed by some 80 Life, Time, and Fortune correspondents in every theatre of the war.

Editor Carroll has pieced together a consecutive picture of "the biggest and bitterest struggle in history." The andiology covers the period from mid-1941 to mid-1944, and includes reports from London during the blitz, from Manila as rhe Japanese struck, from Bataan before it fell, from Libya as Rommel advanced on Cairo, from battlefields in the Aleutians, Burma, Sicily, Italy, Russia, the South Pacific. A time, place and background setting precedes each article.

Na\'y men will be specially interested in such pieces as Sidney L. James' "Torpedo Squadron 8"; John Field's story of the YORKTOWN, "Life and Death of a Carrier"; John Mersey's reports on the Solomons campaign, and his saga of the USS LCI 226; Robert Sherrod's "Return to Wake Island." This is a hook to own, for here are the stories you meant to save for rereading, or have heard quoted and mean to read some day.

THE

SUPERFORTRESS

IS

BORN,

by

Thomas Collison. Duell, Sloan & Pearce, Inc. $3.00.

This book dramatizes in human terms the conception, designing, engineering and building of the B-29. Mr. Collison is civilian coordinator of the Superfortress in charge of assembling aU information.

This is not only the history of a famous plane, but of the people who built It. It has enough technical information to satisfy the scientific minded—enou^ human interest to furnish good entertainment. Mr. Collison ends his story of the building of the B-29 at Seattle and Wichita (several hundred thousand people worked to build these gigantic airships), with the story of the plane in CBI theatre.

Every state in the Union contributed to the building of the B-29—and it was the first airplane produced in quantity "oflF the drawing board." Before the first plane was built, companies were already tooling for production. America made a gamble on the B-29—and Japan is the only loser.

Inasmuch as the Navy has fought many battles to gain airfield bases for the B-29, the book has timely interest for Naval personnel.

nations have watched the wave of fascism swell in neighboring South America. Author Sharp. Stajf Correspondent on Latin American Affairs for the Chrtst•jii Science Monitor, has first-hand information on South American fascism.

By a paradox, while Brazihans fought against German fascism, they were gagged at home, shot down, thrown in prison if they spoke against Vargas. In the meantime, the U. S. as the "Arsenal of Democracy" sends tanks and warplanes to Vargas because Brazil is one of the United Nations.

In Argentina—in Bolivia—in Paraguay, Mr. Sharp finds other lairs of "jungle thinking.' He writes a note of sober warning: "Confirmed fascists are not changed by a crushing military defeat. Stubborn, unteachable. blinded by illusions, fascists plot again to hurl their mechanized hordes on a world of slumbering freemen."

"South America Uncensored" is an informational volume, with no dull pages.

Every new story of fascism next door to the United States is of vital interest as affecting our peacetime future. In addition to revealing inside political facts, the book gives highhghts of Mr. Sharps seven extended trips in Latin America

since 1937—a total mileage of 110,000 miles by boat, train, plane and bus. We are glad Mr. Sharp escaped the "Argentinian and Brazilian secret police camped on his trail" That escape meant a good story published—and worthwhile reading!

W H O SURVIVED, by Alexander Barmine.

G. P. Putnam's Sons. $3.75.

An autobiography of a man bom in Russia who joined the Red Army in his youth, fought in t h t Revolution, graduated from the General Staff College and rose to die rank of Brigadier General During years of work abroad, as Charge d'Affaires of Soviet Russia in Athens in 1937, he became disillusioned with Communist dictatorship. Many of his friends were killed in the '37 purge.

Rather than return to Russia and a similar fate, he escaped to Paris and eventually came to America with his wife.

Here, Author Barmine served as a private in the United States Army, while his wife took a master's degree in architecture at Columbia University.

Today, from the perspective gained by years. Mr. Barmine tells his story, without bitterness or flourishes of partisan denunciation of the Soviet system.

It is still a thrilling book—adventure, romance and finally escape from a sentence of death. Told by a Russian about Russia, it is rather unique.

MOB 3, by Capt Robert P. Parsons.

Bobbs-Merrill Company. $3.50.

Mob 3 is the familiar name for a na. val mobile hospital, which was ordered to a Polynesian island—the first unit sent out after war was declared. Captain Parsons, in command, tells the stor)' of a year and a half in the South Pacific on a remote island.

His study of the natives—as interesting equals who manage to live full and energetic lives while taking things easily—^his sly jabs at the interplay between diffeient military commands — and his portrayal of life on an island outpost make excellent reading. Other medical officers will be particularly interested in the building of the hospital ashore, but there is plenty of material for general reader interest — including some fascinating conversations between the Mormon Polynesians. Example: Billy: "If you love me so much why do 1 have to fight for the kiss?"

Ati: "That is the way the woman kisses. Fight first and then enjoy the kiss."

Billy: "Don't tell me the lie. I know you do not enjoy the kiss."

Ati: "The kiss makes too much trouble."

Billy: "But the kiss way I can go home happy because it is a happy crazy.

With no kiss it is a mad crazy."

Ati: "Have another cup of chocolate.

That will make you happy and will not make the trouble."

GEORGE B A N C R O F T — B R A H M I N REBEL,

by Russell B. Nye {Alfred A. Knopf —Netv York. $3.50—340 pp.)

To most Navy men George Bancroft is known principally as the founder of the U. S. Naval Academy, and the man after whom Bancroft Hall was named.

Acmally, of course, this was a very small part of a long and extremely active career as is shown by the fact that the author gives only three pages to it out of more than 300 which he devotes to Mr. Bancroft's activities. Serving as Secretary of the Navy was just one point in a career which included being a schoolmaster, critic, politician, a diplomat and, most important of all, the first really important American historian.

Bancroft had all the versatility of a Connecticut Yankee and with it talents which, if they fell short of genius, were nevertheless sufficient to make him one of the outstanding men of his generation. Mr. Nye has written a thoroughly readable account of his subject's life and activities. If it is thorough rather than thrilling, it is because Bancroft himself was an able rather than an exciting man.

His history, the most enduring literary moniunent he left behind, is little read today. Despite this, it is not without its influence upon the contemporary mind.

For he was the first American historian

to go back to original sources and work over a vast untouched field of letters, records, manuscripts and diaries to produce then the most complete account of the American Nation.

T h e thin-skinned, hard-hitting destroyer lives by maneuverability— there's no room for steering machinery failure when torpedo tubes are charged and heavy enemy shells are coming over.

That's why, in many cases, American destroyers are equipped with Lidgerwood steering machinery—steering machinery that can be counted on for reliable, efficient ser\-ice under all conditions.

Lidgerwood steering and deck machinery have a long record of reliability, earned on both naval and merchant vessels.

A task group is detached from the main force to deal with the enemy. Our planes remrn after a successful strike—beamed back to the safety of home decks—even though the carriers are imderway and far from original position Landing operations proceed on the enemy-held beach; and the Task Force Commander has complete and immediate control of air cover, ship-to-shore bombardment and the movements of hundreds of landing craft. Spotting planes direct our fire on specific targets ashore.

On land, the beachmaster reports action to the flag ship and directs waves of landing craft into safe lanes of navigation.

As quickly as he can talk, the orders and reports go out.

To inform families at home of this Pacific action, a War Correspondent sends a story with picmres for the morning newspaper. He may acmally broadcast an on-the-spot report from the front lines, which will be heard by audiences in the United States while the battle is still on.

A mother writes her son: "c/o Fleet Post Office," and in this combat zone, the letter is delivered to the right ship.

Six to ten thousand miles away from his fleet units, the Commander in Chief of the United States Fleet is fully informed of all important developments.

He can hold a conference with CinCPac at Guam. He knows operations throughout the territory, and can coordinate in-

formation for future orders to the various combat units.

When additional supplies, equipment and personnel are needed, orders fan out from Washington and the Navy Department—sending what is required to win, to outlying bases and forward areas.

All this revolution in Naval tactics and strategy—this long-distance planning—is taken for granted today. Yet, all the vast nervous system of the fleet, ashore and afloat, called "Naval Communications" saw its real development during the short span of thirty years.

A global war is now sparked by radio, wire, cable, radiotelegraph, radio telephone, telephoto, mail and telephone.

Without these modern methods of speedy transmission of information, our fleet could not advance so swiftly toward Jap home waters. For, of what use is information, unless it can be relayed quickly to those who must have it in time to make advance plans against the enemy?

Every ship and plane has to be provided with adequate, up-to-date communications systems or usefulness against the enemy caiuiot meet the standards of modern warfare. Correspondingly, shore activities supporting the fleet, underwent tremendous expansion. As an example, the number of air stations alone expanded 200% in 1942. Frequently, the activities of each individual air station also multiplied 200 to 300%, while auxiliary fields of air stations sometimes grew to a size requiring the same consideration as the station itself. Additional communications systems were again needed. And after initial installation, these systems must be maintained at

Providing this amount and variety of equipment and the personnel to man it and inspect it has called for dose cooperation with all the Bureaus of the Navy, with civil airlines, industriahsts, government agencies, the Army and our AUies.

The Naval Communications System now has in its service approximately 225.000 officers and enhsted personneL Some 20,000 officers axe technically trained for communications service, and in the neighborhood of 200,000 enlisted personnel are trained speciahsts assigned to duty as radiomen and radio technicians, aviation radiomen and radio technicians.

For the purchase and maintenance of conmiunications equipment, the Navy's budgeted yearly expenditure is 480 milhon dollars, plus more than 16 millitHi doUars for research and development.

In addition to utilization of our own facilities, the Navy rehes heavily upon the extensive systems and services of the commercial communications carriers of the United States. Comparative figures give some idea of the increased load placed upon them in wartime. In 1941, S600.000 was the total cost of leased telephone service, telegrams and cablegrams.

The current year's appropriation is sixteen-and-a-half milhon.

However, let us take a even longer backward look to appreciate more fully how modern methods of communication have reached present development in only three decades.

In the old chpper ship days, a ship at sea was isolated after she sailed beyond visual range of a coast. During war, action began when the enemy ship was sighted over the horizon.

Not until 1902, however, was "wireless telephony' demonstrated aboard a ship in the Potomac River near Washington, D. C , with only short-range success. In 1910, the T I T A N I C disaster focused public attention upon the immediate and important application of wireless to ships at sea.

While the wireless industry was still a baby, the United States Navy conduaed elaborate tests of various systems, which culminated in 1910 in the construction of one of the greatest experiment stations in early radio history at {Continued on page 80)

Rear

Admiral

Joseph R. Redman USN

LL persons connected with Naval A Communications are known for one traitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;their caution, their reluctance to stick their necks out. All of them, that is, except the Director of Naval Communications, Rear Admiral Joseph Reason Redman. He is known as an aggressive and fearless man who is not afraid to stick his neck out. "In fact," says one of his subordinates, "he sticks it out for anything he wants to accomplish, and if it gets whacked down, he just sticks it out again."

The reason is perhaps threefold. First, of course, is Rear Admiral Redman's namre. He is a discerning and dynamic personahty, not content with the stams quo. Second, he knows what he is doing.

He specialized in electrical engineering, which has aided him immensely in the Rear Admiral Joseph Reasor Redman, USN, Director of Naval Communications. technical aspects of communications; and for the past fifteen years, almost all his shore duty has been in Naval Communications. Third, he has seen a great deal of sea duty in a variety of ships.

Consequendy, he is no bureaucrat and is impatient with unnecessary red tape.

Rear Admiral Redman was born in Grass Valley, California, 17 April 1891, and was appointed to the Naval Academy from Nevada in 1910. Graduating in '14, he served in the USS SOUTH DAKOTA and several other ships of the Rear Admiral Redman then went to He then returned to the Navy DepartPacific Fleet until June 1916.

grown more during this war than any other department of a ship. Commumcations have grown in magnimde, in importance, and above all in complexity.

This is due to a variety of factors. First, the emphasis has been increasingly on die operations of huge task forces and fleets as units. The closest kind of co-^ ordination is required between subordinate commands, between ships, and between ships and aircraft. Second, the invention and development of devices such as HFDF, voice radio and other radio equipment has constantly increased the materiel with which the ship's commvmications department is concerned. Third, the mounting of invasions promulgated communication problems and required communication developments beyond anything that had ever been dreamed of in ordinary fleet operations. And there are other factors too—the very size of this war and the vast distances involved —the enormous increase in the number of bases and shore establishments.

In fact, it is not too much to say that the success of a naval operation depends equally as much on the accuracy and speed of communications as on the accuracy and speed of gunfire. Conmiunications are a prime concern of everyone from Admiral Nimitz to the coxswain of the smallest landing craft. And that all men concerned are proficient at their task of transmitting and receiving is shovs'n by the smoothness of present-day amphibious operations—Operations involving the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, aircraft, and ever)' type of surface craft.

All are linked together by a conrinuous communication network involving men in khaki, dungarees, combat dothing, blues, or swimming suits with all types of equipment, all working in perfect understanding and synchronism.

The communicarion organizarion on a large combatant ship involves a number of activities: interior communications on the ship itself, radio communications, visual communications, correspondence, intelligence, combat in{Continued on page 82)

m Mill The Navy has a rehabilitation program for the deafened

By Lillian Porter Say The amount of patient's hearing loss is measured by special electric devices.

Familiarity with the mechanics of a hearing aid helps the patient gain self-confidence and ease.

IS MORE THAN HIS EAil D

ATING from that moment on Saipan when enemy shell fire blew up an ammunition dump beside him, the Marine was deaf.

He could not hear what his friends said to him. He could not hear the sound of machinery, the cry of a child, or the song of a bird. He lived in a soundless void, depressed, alone.

Months later in the United States Naval Hospital at Philadelphia, he was fitted with a hearing aid. He turned a litde switch and the world came back on again.

Tears filled his eyes. "Is all that sound really in the world!" he cried.

Specialists in the aural â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rehabilitation unit of this great Navy hos-

pital were not surprised to see this hasky Marine in tears. They know what it meant to him to re-connect with his world after months of silence. They know that it is an intensely moving experience when a man who has been ueaf hears again. They know, too, that he has but taken his first step in the program designed by the Navy to fit him for the outside world once more, for the inability to hear is just one phase of deafness.

"It is what deafness does to the person that makes the loss of hearing meaningful," said Commander Francis L. Lederer, chief of Ear, Nose and Throat service and of Aural Rehabilitation in the hospital. "The man is more than his ear.

We start the patient as a person. Each

of the specialties forming a part of our clinical organization concerns itself with one facet of the complex problem of not being able to hear or to speak normally."

From the moment the Marine entered the hospital these specialties co-operated to adjust him to his handicap. Complete ear, nose, and throat examinations determined whether further medical treatment was required for him or whether an air conduction or bone conduction hearing aid could be prescribed. He talked to skilled pyscho-social workers who found out about him as a person. He conferred with the vocational and educational service, which is entirely concerned with helping the man to select new work if his {Continued on page 84)

a hair-cut on The Dirty D GETTING is an advenmre to be attempted only by the daring and the rugged.

In the first place, the barber's chair is a canâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just a plain, round galvanized garbage container called throughout the Navy (I've never known why) a "G.I. can." It has a handle projecting upward from the center of the lid. This handle acts as a kind of inverted rudder to brace the sitter against the rolls of the ship, but it does not contribute to his comfort in the long run. W e have wheedled and threatened Clips, the barber, to find another seatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the shipfitter even built him a special stool. But Clips insists a G.I. can's just the right height and has the necessary low center of gravity. So we continue to sit on top the G.I. can to have our hair shorn.

During winter months and foul weather (there's no bad weather in the Navy, you know; it's all foul weather) the barber shop operates in the middle of the forward crew's head. That is Clips' assigned cleaning station anyway, so he figures, logically enough, why clean the head and some other space too? Anyhow the light is good there. It's communal, too, just as a barber shop should be. The client passes the time of day with the men scrubbing their dress blues and white hats, and exchanges pleasantries with those leisurely answering their respective calls of namre. Occasionally the boys over at the wash-bowls even render' '"Vhe Band Played On," in low-down four-part harmony.

o

N sunny days, the barber shop moves to the fantail, which is the

namral center of the ship anyway.

There's usually a harmonica or two working back there, and maybe a gi-tar, and always an animated bull-session about the last liberty in port. So you, the client, can listen drowsily, while you watch the white, foaming wake churn out behind the ship.

This idyllic picmre fades fast in rough weather. Then the G.I. can teeters precariously beneath you. That lid handle feels like a meat cleaver. Clips lurches past you, snipping wildly on the fly. You run a grave risk of emerging with scissors thrust through your cranium, or perhaps minus an ear. If you're in the crew's head, you may be bowled over by the newer hands greengilled tearing in to lose their lunch in the troughs on the outboard side. Sometimes they don't make the troughs. If you're on the fantail, any passing wave may break over the deck, sweeping the G.I. can with it and dashing your brains out against the nearby depth-charge racks.

Added to these namral hazards of a shipboard haircut is the ever-present menace of Clips' D.T.'s. Clips, a wiry little man with light, innocent eyes and a wispy mustache is a funny guy. Sober, he's the meekest, quietest, most respectful seaman on board. On liberty, he's a wild man. He loves whisky. He also drinks gin, brandy, listerine, torpedo alcohol, and lemon extract. After each binge, he sinks into the depths of remorse. He sits and shakes like a whipped puppy. He is unable to barber for days.

Once, after he had pitched a ScoUaySquare liberty in Boston, I asked him to give me a trim.

A wan smile flickered across his ashen lips. "I'm willing to take the chance if you are," he replied, and held out his hands.

They fluttered like wounded sparrows.

They flapped like loose rope-ends in a gale. "Some other day," I answered, and fled.

A timely suggestion, I think, and one which has been echoed by other graduates as well. Hence this report to you on just what has been proposed, and just how the project has progressed. It is your Alumni House, and I'm eager to give you all the information about it that you desire.

The United States Naval Academy is one hundred years old this October.

During that cenmry nearly nineteen thousand graduates have brought fame and glory to the Academy, and the number of living, active alumni is now the largest in history. Yet for all these one hundred years, and up to the present

time, there has been no headquarters, no center for alumni activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;social or business. The Trustees of the Alumni Association, therefore, have desired for a long time to acquire an appropriate Alumni House, which would serve a three-fold purpose. We achieved the first step toward this goal when we acquired Ogle Hall, which I will tell you about in some detail in a moment. When completed. Ogle ,Hall wiU serve the three purposes which the Trustees had in mind.

upholding the traditions and ideals to which the Academy is dedicated. The house itself is ideally suited to this aim, for it is of great historical interest and is one of the finest examples of early Colonial design existing in the country today. Not only will the structure itself serve as a memorial, but it is intended to preserve and display individual or class memorials which may be presented in the future.

Second, the Alumni House will serve as a meeting place and a social center for all graduates. Personally, I have always felt keenly the lack of some {Continued on page 94)

That SHIPMATE has improved is evidenced by the many favorable comments received from the members. The few unfavorable comments concerning SHIPMATE were presented to the Board of Trustees for their consideratioiL An Lntriguingly diversified civihan group has commended SHIPMATE to me.

It includes: Presidents and trustees of colleges, an obstetrician, presidents of banks and industrial corporations, editors, ministers, master of a hunt, domestic servants, a bar tender, a poet, college professors (men and women), and college smdents (mosdy women).

SHIPMATE has been pubhshed at a loss from its first edition in May, 1938, until December, 1944. In the years 1943 and 1944 the loss was substantial: approximately one thousand dollars monthly.

At the October, 1944, meeting of the Tmstees, a committee consisting of Vice Admirals Randall Jacobs (chairman), Wilson Brown and Russell Willson (members), was appointed to consider the proposed extension of the scope and cirailation of SHIPMATE to include the Naval Reserve. The committee submined the following recommendations: First, that the subscription of SHIPMATE be increased to $2.00 per aimvuii or $5.00 for three years.

Second, that the subscription hst be opened to members of the Naval Reserve.

Third, that the contents of the magazine be extended to include feamres of interest to the Naval Reserve.

Fourth, that in extending the scope of the magazine to include feamtes of interest to the Naval Reserve, the policy be clearly established that such change will not alter the present character of the magazine.

This report was approved by the Board of "Trustees at its January, 1945, meeting, pending information from the pubhshers relative to,the possible supply of paper, costs, etc.

THE 0) I'triTlll HILL Reserve to Regular-New

By Fred Lardner

Academies-Retirement

Pay

Post War Fleet-Captured Territories-lOOth Anniversary of Naval Academy - Reimbursement for Losses will soon receive a reC ONGRESS quest from the Navy Department for legislation authorizing the aansfer of large nimibers of Reserve officers to the regular line. The "BuBose" board, headed by Rear Admiral WUham G. DuBose, has made a report on the desirabihty of such legislation to the Secretary of the Navy, and it is being circulated in the Navy Department. Under existing law the only Reserve officers ehgible for ttansfer to the Regular Navy are members of the Naval R. O. T. C. and officers commissioned as aviators from the aviation cadet program.

The Navy Department has mrned thumbs down on H.R. 636, a bill to increase from five to six the number of midshipmen at the Naval Academy allowed for each Representative in Congress.

"If the bill were enacted into law, it would be necessary to expand the facihties at the Naval Academy," said H. Struve Hensel, Aaing Secretary of the Navy at the time, in a report to the House Naval Affairs Committee. "Such expansion may be desirable in the future, but, pending decisions which will be arrived at as a result of smdies presendy being conducted on methods of procurement of officers for the post-war Navy, such expansion at the present tune is not considered desirable."

The Navy Department also advised against enactment of H. R. 2038, a bill to establish a naval academy in the Puget Soimd area of the State of Washington, and H. R. 2475, a bill to establish a U. S. Naval Aviation Academy at Clinton, Oklahoma.

Other bills to establish new academies can expea the same fate. Congressional spokesmen said.

38

The number of officers being commissioned direct from civil hfe is steadUy decreasing. The 1946 Navy Department appropriarion bill, which has passed the House and the Senate and which is now in conference, calls for commissioning of 5,200 civihans, including doctors, civU engineers, and special billets. About 8,500 officers are being commissioned from civU hfe in the fiscal year, ending Jtme 30, 1945.

The last batch of civihans was enroUed in the Naval R O. T. C last November. -On March 1 enhsted personnel from the fleet were enroUed, and the expanded R. O. T. C.—^which may be increased to 24,000 during the emergency and 14,000 in time of peace — wiU be comprised largely of enhsted men.

Retirement Pay Based on Active Duty Pay T T E R E is an important bill for those -'• -•- officers who were retired before World War II and then caUed back to duty. It's S. 993, and it amends section 10 of the Act of Congress approved JiUy 24, 1941, relating to temporary appointment or advancement of certain personnel of the Na\7 and Marine Corps. It provides that the retired pay of officers called back to duty' "shaU. on condition that their performance of d\xvf under such temporary appointments has been satisfaaory, be based on the highest active dut)' pay received whde on active dut)'." Thus, an officer retired as lieutenant and caUed back to Na\7 or Marine Corps sendee and evenmally given a higher rank, would be entided to retired pay based on his pay in that higher rank.

Congress Worried About Post-War Navy Many members of the Capitol Hill Navy . . . which includes, in these days, almost aU members of Congress . . . are worried about the disposition of the war-time Navy. They are fearfiU that something might be done to dispose or decrease the size of this Navy to such an extent that the post-war Navy would be too small Now a bUI—H. R. 3180—has been introduced to insure that the Congress wUl have notice of, and oppormnity to consider, all plans to dispose of naval plants and stations and the more important naval imits, and to give Congress a veto voice in their disxxisition.

Under the Surplus Property Act of 1944, Congress virmaUy rehnquished conttol of large seaions of vital Navy units. According to the Naval Affairs Committee, the act "made it possible for the fighting sttength of the post-war Na^7 to be seriously impaired by dispositions concerning which the Congress may know nothing imtil the ship or facUity has passed from the ownership of the United States."

Under Section 8 of the Constimtion, Congress has the function not only of providing but of maintaining a Navy.

H. R. 5180 does not require affirmative aas of Congress for the disposal of naval propert)' by the executive department. It would leave initial decisions in the determination and disposal of surplus property to the executive department. But it enables Congress to halt disposition of vessels and facihties which are not surplus to the defense needs of the United States.

They met their first enemy gunfire there.

And they had their first combat losses there.

WiUie Laun may not remember it because he didn't fly it. After aU the months of service school and gunnery^ and operational flights with the guys, he didn't get to make the first mission. He began to run a fever the day before. By 2(XK), briefing time, he was in sick bay with a diagnosed case of cat fever, whatever diat is. It left his pilot. Ensign Warren Aim, and his radioman, G. A. St. Germaine, without a mrret gunner.

I timidly suggested taking the job. Ensign Aim said if I was damn fool enough to want to go, he would take me.

With its wings folded on deck, it looks

The bomb bay doors in its substanrial beUy are longer than most medium bombers, to accommodate the rin fish it was designed to carry. It can lift more than 2,000 lbs. of bombs from a flight deck, the same bomb load as the fancier B-25"s and B-26s carry from land bases. It can take a great deal of brutal punishment.

Today the air was fuU of TBM's. W e were flying p o n wing on Lieutenant F. B. Mooney, squadron commander from FaU River, Mass., in the lead section.

T

HE U. S. Naval Academy class of 1946, graduating magnificendy and in number unprecedented last June, midst a ttaU of broken Academy records galore, is a class of whom their feUow alumni are proud beyond words to express. AU living Academy graduates are happy to concede that the men of '46 have aheady established what seem now to be unbeatable records. What counts most, however, of aU is that the commissioned hne officers of the Regular Navy acquired 1,040 new Academy-educated Ensigns in one single ceremony in Dahlgren HaU on 6 June when Seaetary of the Na\7 James Forrestal presented the diplomas and commissions and Admiral of the Fleet Ernest J. King administered the oath of aUegiance.

The Qass of '46 has established one record of honor and prestige that never can be broken: no matter what happens in the future, this dass of '46 is not oiUy the largest dass ever graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy but also the largest class to graduate during World War II. The newest Naval Academy dass has another distinaion that is unique to '46: It is the first War Class to be assigned as a complete dass to the sea and air war against Japan.

Aside from the aanscendent records in scholarship, athletics, and hard work during their three years at the Academy (aU of which are hsted herein), the Class of '46 is notable for the number and kind of its Service Juniors. Please take note that '46 is caUing attention to the first "Merchant Marine Junior" ever to graduate from the Naval Academy: John J. Jacobsen, son of Captain Bernt Jacobsen, United States Merdiant Marine.

Before making detaUed mention of the Navy and other juniors in '46, it is to be forever in the Academy and Alumni records that the Qass of 1946 has the honor of graduating on the One Hundreth Anniversary of the founding of the Naval Academy. It is also to be noted in this associated conneaion that "Forty Six" is the ninety-third dass to be formaUy graduated. (Authentic records of your Alumni Association establish the fact that the first formal graduation from the U. S. Naval Academy was that of the Class of 1854. Included in the 93 graduating classes are those of 1861, 1862, 44

Spindrift

By Lee Shores

' T ' H E most electtifying news in years -•- came to old Bancroft HaU in the simple announcement of the reversion to the four-year course. The dass of 1947 is unaffected but 1948 wiU be split roughly in half on a basis of relative academic standing. One happy aspect of the spht is that aU men ever having bUged or been turned back are automaticaUy placed in 48-A. This makes their fumre not quite as dismal as it might have been — but there is a joker present. The bUgers and turnbacks, all buckets and candidates for anchor man, are going to be competing with aU the cutthroats in star-smdded 48-A—not too cheering a prospect. For pleasant as the Academy is for some, five tedious years of boning to keep that knife away from one's neck is a dismal future.

The news, coming as it did right at exam time, caused an excited flurry of slashing among the borderline cases in the hope of coaxing their multiple into the promised land of 48-A. An interesting sidehght on the change is found in the question of second and third class rates. The tentative decision is to make a sharp cleavage between the two classes.

This wiU mean that the new second dass wUl immediately receive aU their old prewar rates of radios, second class ladders, ten minutes extta hberty after hops, and the running of plebes, which latter privUege wUl be denied the third dass.

Anticipating the inevitable friction, the Executive Department has wisely decided to send aU third dass on one cruise and aU second class on the other. With some justification, one new second classman might remark to another, "Youngster year was sure fruit!"

The class of 1949 has been slowly trickling into the Academy looking as typicaUy plebian as ever. Civihans are in the minority, however, for most of the class wiU comprise ex-servicemen and members of the V-12 coUege training units. Many have seen a great deal of action in this war already. In fact, one reserve ensign in the Adantic relinquished his commission to enter the Academy this month.

June Week was as much fun as ever but maried only by the ttaditional foul weather. This time it took the form of 46

cold and rain, and by Sunday five woiUd get you ten that it would snow by the end of the week. It didn't snow but it threatened rain so hard aU week that the sun didn't appear imtU graduation morning.

No foohng!

But the sky reaUy opened up Saturday night of the ring dance, as if cognizant of the solemnity of the occasion, to give the youngsters, their drags, and their rings a r ^ sea-going drench. Quite a few enterprising youngsters commandeered taxis and private automobUes to drive right up into Tecumseh court to disgorge their cargo of piUchrimde before the amazed eyes of the O.D.'s. And speaking of the Ring Dance, it was a ttemendous success. The procedure followed differed somewhat from previous years in that the ring ceremony did not

die outsider anyway) anecdote comes out of June Week which is good enough to pass on. One evening a first dassman was standing in front of the Capitol theater holding hands with his girl when he heard the dippety-dop of someone running towards him. In a few seconds a messenger was tapping him on the shoidder and requesting his name.

"What kind of joke is this?" demanded the incredulous midshipman. "Its not a joke. Sir; you're on report for holding hands" the plebe rephed. As if to corroborate his statement, a big Naval Academy Station Wagon drove into view, bedecked with searchhghts and messengers and carrj'ing the corpiUent corpus of one of the better known O.D.'s. The midshipman returned to the haU eager to uiUoad this sttange tale and make sure that this hadn't aU been a bad dream. To his great disappointment his tale of woe evoked only a ripple of interest and no surprise. It appears that at least five other men in his company alone were naUed for the same offense. It seems that no longer wiU romance flower in old June Week. The temptation to turn in a statement on the frap was sttong indeed. Did not the regulations state exphcidy that midshipmen would not take the arms of yoimg ladies "unless courtesy or safety demands." WeU then, if a young lady grabs a midshipman's arm, then courtesy demands that the midshipman keep it. It's a good theory but it won't work!

Graduation was the largest ever with 1047 men leaving for everything from LCI's to the Repair TaUor Shop in Banaoft HaU. Best thing about it was its brevity because with leave beckoning, few men could sit stiU. Except for the incoming plebes, the haU is completdy deserted, for every upperdassman in the regiment is now tasting the fruits of long overdue freedom.

Upon expiration of leave on JiUy fifth, half of the regiment leaves on a six-week cmise and upon their return the other half shoves off for parts unknown. The midshipman preference is Europe but it is feared that the high command preference wiU be somewhat doser to home —^perhaps about the same destination as take place in the giant replica of the ring last year. but instead the seventh dance was set aside for that purpose.

for small vessels H

ERE at last is a navigation instrument for vessels requiring something better than a magnetic compass . . . vessels where space, weight, and power limitations make it impracticable to use the Gyro-Compass.

Sperry announces the Gyro-Magnetic Compass, designed particularly for small craft: fishing boats, seagoing tugs, towboats, barges, work boats, yachts, and ferries.

The Sperry Gyro-Magnetic Compass is a remotely located magnetic compass from which gyro-stabilized indications are transmitted to conveniently located repeaters.

The magnetic compass unit can be located where magnetic disturbances are at a minimum. This solves many of the serious deviation difficulties inherent in the magnetic compass.

Also, its gyro-stabilized indications

The Gyro-Magnetic Compass can, in addition, be used to control automatic steering.

Subject to government priorities, this equipment will be available commercially toward flie end of the year.

HE Alumni House fund grows. As this is written, 2 July, we have received a total of 541,233.73 in conttibutions. This represents from, or in the name of 2,962 individuals.

Indicative of the esteem in which the Naval Academy is held are conttibutions from persons who not only have never attended USNA, but have never served in the Navy. We are proud of these conttibutions, for we know that such esteem for and faith in the Academy is due to the "officers and gendemen" who have graduated.

One p)articular letter bringing a conttibution from a non-USNA man is worth quoting, for it reflects the very fine appreciation of the Reserve Officer for the Regular Officer or vice-versa, a spirit which wUl pay dividends for the Navy in years to come.

Mr. James C Rea, one of Pittsburgh's and America's outstanding phUanthropists, conttibuted SlOO, and the last paragraph of his ttansmittal letter reads: "If I am presuming wiU you not persuade the trustees to accept it as a token of appreciation from my three officer sons for the courtesy and consideration they have received upon their various ships from the graduate officers of the U. S. Naval Academy. Without exception, aU three boys have expressed their great appreciation to me."

We beheve that aU alumni accept this fine tribute proudly, but humbly, knowing that too high ttibute caimot be paid to the Reserves.

Space does not permit pubhcation of aU the letters, digests of them, nor even of the names of conttibutors, or those for whom conttibutions have been made.

Some of the letters, however, are typical.

Eugene CarroU, from Butte, Montana, who signs himself "one of the few left of '81," writes: "I heartUy endorse the movement to secure an Alumni House, as I realize the advantage in fumre reunions. I recaU many past reunions with great pleasure, and think the choice of a house most exceUent. I remember the old building, which I always thought was the old home of my distinguished distant relative, Chas. CarroU of Carrolton.

"I had very pleasant times in those old

48

Colonial homes in the days of long past where dwelt the CoUege widows of the early '80's. When I reahze that there were only 1550 graduates before me, and see more than that many thousands today, I am not surprised that you are having wholehearted approval of the Alumni, and wish I were able to be present at the dedication.

"I am glad to reahze that my statements after the Pearl Harbor disaster have come true, namely that there are StiU many Farraguts and Dewey's left in the Service."

Paul M. La Bach, '94, who hves at the Jonathan Qub, Los Angeles, suggests we acquire a fire proof vault. Any comments.'* John F. MarshaU, '95, commented: "Tliis old man has had a lot of fim in that old budding with the Porter girls and mumal friends."

The men in the Pacific have taken time out from fighting the Japs to conttibute, and comment. Rear Admiral W. L. Ainsworth, '10, ComDesPac, said he considered "it a privUege to help."

Vice Admiral C. H. "Sock" McMorris, '12, Chief of Staff, CinCPac, reported with his conttibution: "I beheve that this is a fine gesture, and that it wiU serve weU the purpose for which it is intended."

Rear Admiral Paul Hendren, '13, ComServron, SoPac Force, is another from the fighting fronts who has contributed.

Several large conttibutions have come in, donated "in memory" of those who have given their hves in this war.

Earliest graduate in whose name a conttibution has come in, is the late Rear Admiral David B. Harmony, dass of 1854, received from his niece, Georgia Harmony CaldweU Keen and his grand-niece, Sara Longacre Keen Terry.

Latest class to be represented (at this time) is "46, in the form of a conttibution from then Midshipman W. C. WUliams. This was the lowest rank represented. Highest rank represented among the early contributions was fiom Admiral Harr>' E. YarneU, '97.

We mention these ranks and dasses to highlight that die Alumni House fund is coming from aU groups of alumni, old and new, from young "snottj'" and "old salt" alike.

The U. S. Naval Academy and the U. S. Military Academy were jointly awarded the Wingate Trophy, symbolic of the National Collegiate Lacrosse Championship for the 1945 season.

The Navy team, coached by W. H. (Dint)') Moore, was particularly strong defensively, holding their collegiate opponents to 9 goals, 7 of which were scored by Army in the service classic.

The scoring strength of the Army team, coached by Captain Morris Touchtone, is reflected by the 87 goals scored in their five intercollegiate games.

Recently we had the most enjoyable privilege of spending an afternoon and evening with BOB WILLIAMS at Lakehurst. At that time they presented for inspection the newest member of the '36 family, one WILLIAM ALLEN WILLIAMS, who made his appearance in March. He joins with Sue and little Bob to make the Williams family a cozy little quintet. Our congratulations to Frances and Bob on the grand family that they have.

The day was very pleasant, for the juniors as well as for their elders. Both Frances and Bob are looking grand.

Talked over old times as usual but had little dope to swap on '36 as neither of us have had many recent contacts. Bob reports that ALEX TYREE has recently returned from another Pacific patrol on his sub and again has covered himself with glory and is slated for more decorations. Congratulations, Alec.

JOHN C BURRILL. '38, (Lt. Comdr., USN), writes: Your exceUent March issue arrived yesterday, and I fed that I'U be in for some kidding from classmates, if ever see any again, about my serving at a "forward area Pacific" NSD. Although its a bit far, d it, to commute to Georgia or Milwaukee for weekends, the only thing reaUy "forward" about this area is the female population, but, if my sweet and lovely Carolyn ever reads this, I wish to state most emphaticaUy that I am much more of a "red mike" than I ever was in Dahlgren or Carvel Halls.

It IS true that I am the exec and reaUy enjoying the almost forgotten prerogauve of a line officer, such as signing the plan of the day and approving leave requests. W e even have a Saturday morning persoimel inspection and parade here, with specialists and supply corps Ueutenants leading platoons in a maimer reminiscent of Wednesday afternoons on Worden Field, and I find myself praying for rain as of old. FeUow sandblowers of the company which won the colors in spite of me need not be told that the parade is the idea of our very capable SOinQ who beUeves we should play Navy at least one hour weekly.

Way back about New Years I acmaUy saw not one but two dassmates, CHARLIE GEBHARDT and MICHAEL, bodi of whom were drinking in sunshine and other things after long sub cruises. Had difficulty recognizing CharUe because he looked so suave with his cookie duster.

Just got a fine letter from Bruce Hayden (whose record of four years of Uving with me has yet to be bettered by my present wife) in which Bruce revealed that his strenuous efforts to become qualified for sea duty, in spite of his comfortable biUet at Notre Dame, have resulted in his orders to port director duty in the distant Pacific. Bruce and Margie should become parents again in June or July. They already have a cute Uttle two-year-old daughter who looks vet)' much like her proud papa.

Karl Hendrickson, who Uke Bruce couldn't read AELTYPHEALT at twenty feet, is at DavisviUe as a CEC Ueut.

Someone should express the appropriate amazement at Gene Riewe's bulletin to the effect that Ed King weighs about 160 pounds. Surely we supply corps lads feed destroyer skippers better than that, even if they are in '36!

It just doesn't seem possible that we shan't walk into some Officers' Q u b somewhere someday and see 98-povmd Bruce Garrett trying to pick a fight with some 220-pound former halfback. W e sandblowers of Elton Knapp's company used to be right proud of Bruce and Elton with four and three stripes respectively, not to mention Louie DeCamp who also sported thtee about that time.

ULY of 1945 marks the third anniversary of the Searchlight address file.

When we started in 1942 it was impossible to foresee the duration and extent of Searchlight. It has also been impossible to acknowledge individually the thousands of letters we have received giving us the address information we sought. We can however, pass along the many compliments we have received; thank the Service publications for the space they have donated.

Nerv OUS System of a Navy {Cntinued from page 22) Arlington, Virginia. The station was three years in the building. When only one wire was stretched from the tallest mast to the ground, a Naval engineer detected a history-making sound — Morse code signals in a foreign language. Excitement ran high when the origination point was found to be a radio station in the Eiffel Tower, Paris.

"Wireless" became radio—and in 1915, voices were first transmitted by radio telephone from this same Naval station to the Eiffel Tower — and from Arlington to Hawaii.

Prior to 1912, no Communications Division existed in the Navy. The nearest thing to it was a "materials section" in the old Bureau of Engineering, which was mainly concerned with a shore system of communication. Later, a "Naval Radio Service" was born, with Captain (later Admiral) William H. G. BuUaid, USN, as Superintendent. With the out-

break of World War I and the organization of the Naval Communications Service, Captain Bullards repurarion in the electrical and radio field made him the first Director.

"Wireless" reigned at sea in World War I—especially for Germany. As it worked out, this was not particularly formnate for Germany, and the circumstances provided a lesson to be remembered by every other nation.

Britain, first in seapower and owner of the chief cable lines of the world, prompdy cut every cable of possible use to the enemy at the opening of hostilities.

Germany immediarely used "wireless telegraphy," filling the air with dit-dahs as German ships exchanged messages and messaged shore bases in intricate code.

Meanwhile, the British bided their time, permitting Germany full use of the air and maintaining a rigid "wireless silence' in the British Fleet, except in case of emergency. British Intelligence Officers sat with ears glued, listening to every German message. Some time passed before this policy paid off, but the long-awaited chance finally came when a German cruiser went to the bottom in a batde with the Russians. Divers found a set of the latest German codes in the vessels safe, and the famous "Room Forty" went into action decoding all previously received German messages. So skillful did these decoding experts become that even a change in German code took them little time to discover the key.

The Germans remained in blissful ig-

norance of the fact that their present and fumre movements were an open book to British Intelligence. In fact, secrecy was preserved to such an extent th.\t many high-ranking officers of the British Admiralty were ignorant of the existence of "Room Forty" and the source of their information.

The lesson was also clear. Communications in time of war were a two-edged sword!

The United States, during World War I, made notable progress in developing naval communications. In the first six months of American participation, radio communication was established from this continent to our island possessions in the Pacific—from the U. S. to Europe.

T

HE interim of peace separating that war and the present conflict saw radio come into its own throughout the world. Luckily for us, the United States was abreast of communications development in other nations and slightly ahead of the enemy in some respects. Radio and improvements on radio principles are the foremost agencies for naval commvmication today. Radio knows no barrier of land or sea, and the extent of its use is limited only by the number of frequency channels available, and the need for security in a battle zone.

Radio Washington is the key station

of the entire Naval Communications System. Since April 1941, this station has been in a constant and continued state of expansion and modernization. Former manual operations have been replaced with automatic machine transmission to speed up communication between the Navy Department and all naval activities and naval operating forces, ashore and afloat. Today, main circuits between bases and headquarters are controlled by automatic printers, taking the place of slower hand-keying. Punched tape transmitters are set up in tandem. When one message on a circuit is completed, another message automatically begins. The only manual operation necessary is the insertion of the punched tape into the right circuit. Messages are also automatically timed and numbered. Thus, with wire high-speed devices adapted to radio, automatic printers send out messages at a speed of 100 words a minute per printer from Radio Washington.

This station and Navy Department Communications offices also serve as a training place for many officers and enlisted men and women. Radiomen and WAVES radiomen become acquainted here with the various circuits and general procedure used in the semp of a large station.

Naval Communications was the first to suggest the inclusion of WAVES to in-

ASIATIC PETROLEUM CORPORATION

crease the number of trained personnel available for shore-establishment duty.

By the very nature of communications, we believed that women should be an integral part of the Navy, not an auxiliary corps. Naturally, it was necessary that the WAVES be subject to military law and the regulations governing communications security. WAVES now compose 75 per cent of the total personnel in Radio Washington.

Throughout the Naval Communications System, a constant effort is made to reduce the time element in transmission. This is true, not only for interNavy communications, but also for assisting press, radio photo services and magazines to forward general releasable information to those at home. For this purpose, Naval Communications provided special and in many cases, exclusive circuits. The four-channel, multiplex circuit, plus broadcast facilities and radiophoto service from Guam is the most recent example. Guam acts as a relay center, insuring high-speed transmission of press traffic from Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other advance points to the mainland.

Airline traffic and air-sea rescue is streamlined for efficiency by means of modern communications. The Naval Air Transport Service has its own exclusive and positive flight-control network

which enables ground stations to maintain contact with planes in flight at all times, directing and diverting them according to latest weather information. A teletype circuit is devoted entirely to aeronautical operational traffic, and covers Transcontinental, East and West Section flights. For ttans-Adantic flight, there is an Adantic network; and in the Pacific, the Joint Airways Communications System, Pacific takes over control of all aeronautical traffic, both Army and Navy. ' I *riE Frontier Commanders, respon-'- sible for air-sea rescue, also have complete communications facilities at their disposal. Air-Sea rescue offices ashore gather information through direction-finder nets and all land-line activities. Communications channels during actual rescue work are open from rescue craft, rescue planes and the directing shore office—all joined together in a network geared to one immediate purpose, the rescue of men at sea.

With the impetus and urgent character of war, many problems have to be met in Naval Communications. Some of these can be mentioned without violation of security regulations.

In our swollen fleet, communications traffic reached such a volume that there was serious danger of overloading normal channels. To alleviate this danger, grearer use of correspondence, speed letters and maUgrams was encouraged; and in December 1941, the BASEGRAM system of delivery to forces afloat was instimted. The BASEGRAM system is designed for messages whose importance do not warrant loading speedier channels. The message is radioed to a major base, and delivery is made by hand when the ship comes in to pick it up.

Thousands of new recruits in the Navy, new training stations and many advanced bases outside the United States caused pressing problems in mail service.

At the time this country declared war, no provision had been made for satisfactory conditions of secrec)' in forwarding mail to Naval forces outside the continental United States. Families and friends, heeding the plea to "raise morale with mail," were horrified when their letters never reached destination. After a survey, the principal difficulties found were lack of trained postal personnel and lack of coordination with the Navy Department to locate a ship.

A Mail Section was established, and the Disttict Commandants directed to enlarge facilities for handling mail.

Postal Liaison Officers were appointed to supervise operations of Fleet Post Offices and arrange for the transfer of fleet mail from civilian postal authorities to the Navy. A Mail Clerk rating was established for recruits with civilian postal 82

experience, and many civilian postal authorities were commissioned and assigned ro Naval Mail Service. To solve ttansportation difficulties for the flood of overseas mail. Navy V-mail was inaugurated in June of 1942—a system which could StiU be used to a greater extent.

T N addition to the usual mail service, -•• courier service had to be enlarged— to promote secrecy and security, and to service both military and civilian personnel of the Navy, Armed Guard and Merchant Marine in remote areas where regular mail service could not operate.

Another terrific problem in Naval Communications came about through Joint and Combined Fleet Operations.

Intercommunication between British and U. S. vessels required procedure and publications common to both forces. BritishU. S. Radio Call Signs for naval use had to be inttoduced. In addition, British and U. S. publications were interchanged and special combined publications developed.

"The latter were mainly printed in this country, due to the lack of British paper and manpower shortages. A British-U. S. worldwide merchanr ship recognition system was also inttoduced.

with C ^ C U R I T Y toda>% therefore, res^wi vastly increased intxcascu number uuiuuti. of \JI peisoi persons »3 a vasdy —which also increases the chance that one of them will jeopardize the entire system of all naval activities.

To insure ttansmission security, circuit discipline and efficient communications, monitoring stations have been established. Navy radio circuits are monitored in proportion to their activitj- and to the pre%'alence of insecure ttansmission.

These monitoring stations serve also as a pool for ttained personnel later assigned to Communications Security Units. The offices and men in these Security Units serve in sttategic combat centers, furnishing immediate security advice at the scene of action.

In communications, therefore, there can never be a moment of letdown—of resting on laurels. Problems solved one day crop up the next. Vigilance is the watchword until the day of'victory over Japan—and after.

Until that long-worked-for day, billions of words a day continue to be ttansmitted over all types of naval communications equipment.

With the German collapse, this barrage of directing, commanding, oidering words is aimed solely at Japan. As the "nervous sj'srem of the Navy" is readied for signals of continued attack, it is the hope of every man and woman in the Naval Communications System that these speedily ttansmitted words will serve as the voice of doom in the ears of Japan.

Which brings us to the main and everwith-us problem in Naval Communications: Security.

The swingover from peacetime policy on all communications, civilian as well as military, will always cause initial difficulty in time of war. Communications systems in peacetime are developed solely on the plan that people of all nations and races shall come to know each other Communicators Don't Have better. The shift to war changes the picto be C r a z y ture completely. The giving of information to all is hardly the purpose of ( Continued from page 26) wanime communications.

port over the beach areas, controlling naval gunfire, spotting fall of shot, routine reports, coordination and dissemination of information, long range shipto-shore communications, and all the various requirements of controlling a combined land, sea and air operation.

A TTYPICAL message comes in on a -^*- receiver located in the radio shack.

The operator on watch at this receiver copies the message in a "log." However, the signal may also be conneaed from the receiver to one or more remote speakers located elsewhere in the ship.

Thus cognizant officers may listen to voice ttansmission direcdy at these stations and make any necessary replies. If the message is encoded, it is decoded either at the station concerned or in the coding room. Messages sent in Morse code are copied by the operator and delivered to the watch officer for proper handling. The message probably requires decoding and therefore goes to a coding officer or P.O. After decoding, it is delivered by phone, interphone, pneumatic mbe or messenger to the appropriate activity, depending upon its assigned precedence, present importance, and acmal classification within the ship.

The circuit upon which a message is received often determines whether it is tactical, sttategic or administrative in JULY, 1945

character. This in mrn determines location of the equipment and persoimel within the ship and other factors which the communicators must know for proper handling of the messages.

The accurate reception and ttanslation, the prompt delivery to the proper officers and the resulting proper action of the forces concerned are, in the final analysis, dependent on the manner in which the communication personnel perform their duties. The responsibilities of these officers and men are great. They cannot afford to make the slightest mistake in the message at any point in its transit through the communication system.

Visual communications are used to augment radio communications by supplying additional channels, to supply communication facilities under radio silence, and to transmit tactical signals when the time is allowable. Signalmen are excellent lookouts and are frequently the first to make reports of visual sightings. A good signalman must be alert to everything on the water or in the air instinctively, and know the location of all ships in the disposition at all times. A good signal force is a great assistance to the commanding officer in handling the ship.

Messages received or transmitted by visual means are handled within the ship

in the same manner as messages received or transmitted by radio. The communication watch officer bears the same responsibilities for proper reception or transmission, coding or decoding and correct and prompt delivery as he does for all other communications on the ship.

There has been a widespread impression that radio has replaced visual signaling during the war. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for the trend is toward greater dependence on visual communications rather than less. It is true that visual recognition signals are being used to a lesser extent, but with this one exception, visual communications are just as vital as they were before the war. / ^ N E of the important, and sometimes ^ ^ annoying functions, of the communication department on a large ship is the handling of correspondence, registered publications, classified material and the great bulk of messages which are delivered by messenger or through the mails. The Captain's office and the Executive Officer's office are contained within the communication department as well as the communication office. The Captain's office is under the direct supervision of the Ship's Secretary, who is usually a Ship's Clerk, and is under the cognizance of the communication officer.

83

The Captains office handles all correspondence and written maner. dassified and unclassified, except registered publications. This material must be routed internally within the ship in the same manner as a message. The responsibilities of the Ship's Secretan*. in this respecr, are the same as the communication watch officer's concerning messages.

The quantity of written matter received on a ship now acmally staggers the imagination and it must all be read by someone in the communication department and routed to the people who must have the information. This entails a detailed knowledge of the duties of all officers on the ship and a general knowledge of aU subjects, in order that each officer will get the information he needs from the large amount of material received.

The registered publications which a ship must hold are accounted for and kept corrected to date by the communication department. This job has become too large for one officer working full time on it. However, it must be done and done well. When a publication is required for use, it must be up to date and ready. When you are looking down the throat of a Jap gun is no time to look up changes.

The overload on fleet and shore communication facilities has made it necessary to deliver a large number of messages by mail or by messenger from bases. This entails a large number of officer messenger rrips, a lot of clerical work in handling a large volume of ttaffic in port, and a constant headache to communicators in wondering whether they have missed any messages which should have been delivered. There is no way of being sure your ship has received what it should; yet there is no other way of handling routine administrative ttaffic in this war. The net result is more gray hairs for communication officers.

appropriate charts of different tj-pes and scales are mounted on vertical chart boards. All available intelligence is plotted on these charts initially. All information which is obtained from communications is plotted on these charts when received.

The Combat Information Center on a ship is just what the name implies. It is the center where all combat information is collected and evaluated. This obviously involves a great deal of communications. The bulk of the communications in CIC are voice radio circuits which are used for collecting and disseminating tactical information. There are sometimes up to seventeen voice circuits operated in CIC. The placement of CIC in the internal organization of a ship varies widely. For several years it was in the Communication Department on practically all ships. The tendency now is to break CIC away from the Communication Officer. However, it is still an integral part of the communication organization and the usefulness and effectiveness of a CIC on a ship is dependent on its communication efficiency.

Fighter direcrion is an integral pan of the CIC and is solely dependent upon communications. All fighter direction communications are fast voice circuits on which the fighter director talks direcdy to the pilots.

responsible for the maintenance of all communication equipment. The maintenance of equipment under combat conditions is a difficidt problem and is aggravated by the shortage of qualified technicians. Frequendy the radio technicians on a ship work twenty-four hours a day to keep radio ttansmitters, receivers, and remote conttol equipment in satisfactory operation under conditions of gunfire shock.

The accomplishment of efficient and uninterrupted communications is more dependent on materiel upkeep than any other factor. If the equipment works and performs projjerly and someone can talk, communications will be established. This is the prime rule of the communicator.

Therefore, regardless of how much else the Communication Officer may have to do, he must personally insure that his equipment is always kept in the proper condition. This is no small job when there are upwards of fifty radio circuits in operation.

Each individual officer and man in a communication organization has a ttemendous responsibility. A small mistake—by the operator in copying the message, or the sttiker who breaks call signs, or the supervisor or the watch officer in checking the message, or the yeoman in tj'ping the message, or the coding officer in breaking the message, or the person reading rhe message on the interphone for fast deliver)'—an error in any of these steps may spell disaster. There is no latimde for mistakes in communications. A communicator is expected to know all, see all and remember all, and answer all questions instandy. Commanding Officers of ships and forces base their decisions on information they get from communication personneL The communicator may be wrong only once in a thousand times but that is once too often. Hence the old gag that, "you don't have to be crazj' to be a communicator —but it sure helps."

A Man Is More Than His Ear {Continued from page 29) hearing loss has made remrn ro his post war job impossible or with assisting him to obtain benefits to which he is entided if he wants to go back to school again An aural and speech screen showed that the residue of hearing of the Marine was slight. He could not speech (lip) read. His voice sounded flat and harsh.

This screen made it possible for the hospital to develop a course to fit him— "tailor made." "pITTING the Marine with his hearing -*- aid could be compared to correcting

a refraction in vision — fitting the eye glass to the eye in contrast to a man's going to a ten-cent store for a rough fit.

Specialists consult each other and the Navy's hearing aids are properly fitted by the aid of specially constructed electrical instrumentation. The United States Naval Hospital at Philadelphia is the Navy's only Unit specializing in this work; and it is doubtful if any other agency except the Army can do as perfect a job in fitting hearing aids.

Next, the Marine was assigned to rehabilitation classes. These were defined to him as a sort of '"college"' for the hard of hearing. Acmally, the Marine was assigned to Naval duty, in a course, just like fire<ontrol or radar school, or any other specialized program. He took dasses in speech reading — the Navy's term for "lip reading," in speech, in sound discrimination, and perhaps some others. Two collateral courses were" required of him. One of these was occupational therapy—a course to fill in his time and get him over that "sad sack" feeling. He wove, carved, or did any kind of handicraft he chose. The other was physical exercise prescribed specially for him. Certain ills connected with his ears made it impossible for him to indulge in just any kind of exercise.

The Marine had a leave coming to him.

He was given his ten days at home before

ne entered upon his program of rehabilitation.

There is a well thought out reason behind the Navy's policy of giving a serviceman leave before he enters upon his program of rehabilitation. This leave gives the family as well as the man an opportunity to see how much better he functions after he has gone through his training in rehabilitation and is discharged by the Navy to remrn to civilian life.

A sailor, who was almost totally deafened by the bombardment of his ship, came home on leave. He shouted and roared when he spoke to his wife. She became desperately afraid of him and was convinced that he was mentally deranged. Finally she had him thrown into the civilian jail because he was so noisy and she thought argumentative over the slightest trifle. A Navy officer from the hospital rescued the serviceman and took him back to the Unit. The worker explained to the man's wife that her husband could not hear his tones. He had lost speech control along with his hearing. To the serviceman he said that nothing is so irritating as the loud voice of the deaf and that the Navy was concerned with helping him to overcome it.

In two months' time the seaman had completed his speech training. He was properly fitted with a hearing aid. He

remrned to his home and he and his wife are now living happily together.

Less than one per cent of the deaf who come into the hospital are not benefited by a hearing aid. Total deafness or the inability to react at all to electrically amplified sound is a relatively rare thing. A man can be fitted for a loss if his better ear has a deficit of thirty decibels—this is a loss of hearing to the extent that he could not carry on a normal conversation without asking for words to be repeated in louder tones. Sometimes he is fitted with a hearing aid solely because it makes him more efficient in his vocation. are taught to consider PATIENTS hearing aids as part of their personalities. There is no more reason for individuals being self conscious about wearing aids than about wearing glasses. It is only because the first aids were iuch imperfect things that people discarded them.

Auricular training is concerned with the use of the "mechanical ear" under all conditions. This means that the patient must learn to discriminate fine speech sounds, both in quiet as well as noisy simations as well as to identify the gross sounds in his environment. He must learn to use a telephone effectively while wearing his aid. It is possible to appreciate and to "hear" music again. Practice

also enables a patient to tell from what direction a sound is coming.

Coordinator of non-medical services is Lieutenant Koepp-Baker. In civilian life he was director of speech and hearing in Pennsylvania State College. His broad experience in research in problems of hearing and speech loss give him an approach to patients that is invaluable to the Navy. He explained that deafness may develop mild states of depression and attitudes of suspicion. Quite often a man feels frustrated and alone because of his inability to communicate with his fellows on a language level. He cannot fit into the social structure in which he lives.

To combat these mental attitudes the Navy's first step is to find out what can be done with the residual hearing of the man and to place him in pre-vocational training as long as he is in the hospital.

Always the Navy keeps in mind that it is dealing with the same kind of man that the patient was before his handicap. He has the same basic limitations. He is not more noble because he has a handicap than he was before. All deafened persons cannot become doctors and lawyers.

There are still men who cut wood and draw water. The rehabilitation program does not emphasize the handicap of the handicap. Some are better off than rhey were before because they are stimulated 86

in other directions and find aptitudes for new skills.

The hospital emphasizes to patients that as deaf persons certain professions are closed to them, but others are also open.

A serviceman said to Lieutenant Koepp-Baker, "You know that I can't marry now. I'm deaf."

"It's true that your deafness makes it impossible for you to marry just any woman," said the lieutenant, "but you can marry the woman who loves you and has a right understanding of your deafness— what it means to you and what it will mean to her as your wife."

Thus, step by step, the man is led to think how he can adjust to the society in which he lives—how he can once more earn a living, have a wife and children, and experience a full rounded life.

Often men fail to respond to the rehabilitation program because they are unobjective, depressed, or negative. A member of the Coast Guard, a married man with two children, was injured in an explosion and his hearing was almost destroyed. "I'm all washed up," he said, "I'm out of the running."

Here the discipline that the service instills in a man came to his aid. He was infected by the attitude of those about him. Gradually, ever so imperceptibly, he caught the general attitude of objec-

tive optimism that pervades the Unit, and after he was fitted with a hearing aid, he completely revised his way of behaving and feeling. Today he is discharged from the service. He is out among his fellow men providing a good living for his wife and family as a hotel manager.

V J ^ I T H every hearing loss there is a ' ' » measure of speech loss—a definite speech handicap. Speech and hearing rehabilitation, therefore, cannot be divorced. There are those who suffered from functional speech disorders such as stuttering and poor articulation before they came into the Navy. Then there are a vast number of speech handicaps that are service connected. Injuries to the face, head, and neck leave speech injuries.

After a plastic surgeon has worked on these patients they often have serious speech handicaps which send them to the Philadelphia Naval Hospital.

Prosthetic appliances on the mouth or injuries to the central nervous system make it necessary for patients to have speech training. A sailor now in the hospital suffered serious head injuries in the South Pacific theater of war. He is now partially paralyzed. This paralysis is reflected in his speech. The specialists are working generally to improve his muscular control but more especially to improve his speaking so that he can make

himself understood. It is a slow, patient process but little by little this sailor, who was a carpenter's apprentice before the war, is learning how to speak again.

In the field of speech and hearing reeducation is Lieutenant (jg) Miriam D. Pauls. Before she joined the WAVES she worked with many important schools in speech training throughout the country.

"Speech reading," she defined, "is so much more than watching the lips of a person talking. It is really the art of concentrating on and interpreting a situation. It involves a receptivity on the part of the person reading—a willingness to have a thought brought over. A good speech reader takes in a whole situation.

He watches for visual dues and puts the thing together."

Ability to become a good speech reader has no direct relationship to a man's schooling. There are men in the Unit who have had less than two grades of school. There are two illiterates who are now being taught how to read and write. There are men with their bachelor of arts and master's degrees. Their skill in speech reading varies. Sometimes the college man is way behind the others.

One of the best speech readers discharged from the Unit was a Negro yeoman who knew how to read and write and that was all.

Lieutenant Pauls asked this big, slow Negro how he learned to speech read so easily and quickly.

"Boss," he said, "That's simple. I just figgers out where you's goin' and I beats you there!"

The totally deafened has but one recourse—speech reading. A shot from a Jap sniper's gun went straight through the head of an eighteen-year-old Marine, deafening him for life. Two months is the average time it takes a patient to learn speech reading but this young Marine learned it in much less time. He became one of the most proficient in the Unit in a matter of days. He is going back to complete his high school training and by means of the Navy's program of education, he expects to get a degree in engineering at some university.

"He is one of the smartest lads we have," said Lieutenant Pauls. "He was only fourteen when he joined the Marines. He said that he was just stooping down after throwing a hand grenade at a nest of Japs when a sniper got him.

Fortunately for him, he bent his head in such a manner that the bullet went cleanly through and came out the other side of his head. Beyond a slight stiffness in his neck, he has no other ill effects other than his profound deafness."

C E R V I C E M E N in the Aural Unit ^ come from every walk of life. There are fishermen, carpenters, artists, teach-

ers, singers, and professional men of all types. A war correspondent is studying speech reading after being deafened during a bombardment. A Navy man who was a singer in civilian life is adjusting to singing again for his own pleasure, though he may not be able to sing professionally. The feel of his voice is now a mental thing to him. Hi^ ability to sing again will be dependent on whether or not he has retained a mental picture of how he used to sing and how it sounded, for he has left only about four frequencies in tone. Another patient used to be a sound man for a Hollywood motion picture company. He is making rapid progress in the hospital and is determined to go back to his former work and the studio has agreed to take him back.

Speech reading is taught in s.mall classes. Concentration on a single individual is avoided as much as possible.

Those who have difficulty are helped separately with others who have similar difficulty. They are- constantly changed from one teacher to another to accustom them to different speaking mannerisms of individuals. Occasionally, rank enters in. A captain was given a few beginning lessons by himself before he was put into the regular speech reading classes. The Navy recognized that a sailor might not feel very free in the presence of four stripes. On the other hand, the captain might be embarrassed to have his beginnings observed by the sailor. But as soon as they became accustomed to the work, they sat in classes together.

Since the creation of this Unit in the hospital all cases of deafness in the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corp are handled here. Vice Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, established this Aural Unit solely with the purpose of the rehabilitation of men to duty status or to civilian life with the least possible loss of individual efficiency. Advice of members of the National Defense Research Council was sought and they helped to guide all installation of equipment.

Included on the staff of the Aural Unit are men and women of exceptional experience. Dr. Lederer, chief of the Unit, is on leave from the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois where he is head of the Ear, Nose, and Throat department. He is also author of an important book, "Diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat," now in its fourth edition.

Growth of this Unit where men learn to adjust to their handicap in hearing and speech has been so phenomenal that a large modern building is now being erected on the hospital grounds to house rehabilitation facilities for the hard of hearing alone. This separate Unit will have the very latest in physical facilities for the measurement of the degree of the hearing loss. There will be all sorts of electrical instrumentation and acous-

tically treated rooms will be provided for the speech and hearing re-education department.

Each year since the war began the total number of aural casualties has doubled on each succeeding year. Sixty per cent of the cases now coming into the Philadelphia hospital for rehabilitation in hearing and speech handicaps are directly or indirectly service connected. Since in emergencies there are naturally many slip-ups, men are sometimes inducted into the Navy who have hidden ear diseases that form fertile soil for any trouble that may come to them while they aie in the service. Then there are those who become deaf not through battle action or accident but through acquiring some disease, such as mumps or meningitis, that is the result of grouping together large numbers of men. Head injuries from one source or another and continuous engine noises can cause deafness. Many men on active duty with the fleet or ashore make efforts to cover up their hearing defects.

Sometimes it takes from one to two years to catch up with servicemen suffering deafness from heavy firing. In many cases men do not experience immediately their full hearing loss. Surprise assaults of sound on the ear are more apt to cause deafness than those that can be anticipated in battle action. ' I ^HE civilian's world is also the vet-'- eran's world. For that reason the hospital at Philadelphia is ideally located.

Patients go out into the city when they have liberty. This gives them no opportunity to become reclusive or shy of people. The hospital advises servicemen to be tolerant and understanding of those who have not had their war experience or their training in rehabilitation.

A Marine on liberty from the hospital went to a party wearing his hearing aid in society for the first time. He had quite a pleasant evening until a woman rushed up to him and said, "You poor, dear boy —to be deaf at your age!"

Her sympathy plus the strain he had been feeling all evening was too much for him. He fled back to the hospital.

There he was reminded by a worker that the woman just didn't know any better.

His job was to excuse her—not to be disturbed by her ignorance.

"But everywhere I go," complains the disabled serviceman, "some one stares at me."

"Sure folks stare. And they'll keep right on staring," the doctors answer.

"There's nothing you can do about it. In time you'll even get used to it. Most folks are pretty good people. They don't mean a thing by their staring. They just don't understand."

Sometimes another thought is introduced to the serviceman — the thought that it is barely possible that he mis-in87

terprets the gaze of the civilian. It cculd be that the old lady peering behind her glasses, the gray-haired man with the intent brown eyes, or the girl with the bright red lipstick who peeks at the veteran from behind her magazine as the bus weaves through the traffic is no: seeing his artificial arm, his crutch, or the hearing aid attached to his head. In rheir hearts these who seem to him so curious, so intent on violating his personal dignit}- may be echoing the words of Dr. Lederer, "The man is more than his ear."

Deep down they may be thinking: "Serviceman: it's good to see vou. I'm glad youre home. I only wish that he might have come back, too. I wouldn't have cared how many scars of battle he carried. I would only have been so glad —so humbly glad that he was home again!"

W a r Watch on the Weather {Continued from page 30)

It was as vital that the Nav)' should know about weather fronts, cloud formations and the condition of the seas in these areas as it was that it should be informed of the location of each one of its ships.

Convoys more or less followed the old sea routes. But there were times when storms would blow them off course or when concentrated enemy action in one sector would force them to detour and seek a new and less perilous ocean highway about which no weather facts were available.

HE joint American-British plan for T fighting the Battle of the Atlantic strongly emphasized the need for ac-

curate weather predictions covering not only the sea lanes but the entire ocean.

Counter-action against prowling enemy submarines obviously could not be taken only along regular routes. If the U-boats were to be wiped out or their efforts nullified they had to be hunted under evensquare inile of sea. When the Tenth Fleet began its campaign of extermination it had to have a thorough knowledge of what to expect from the elements in every corner of the Adantic.

Quickly the Navy grabbed whatever it could—^mosdy overage Coast Guard vessels—and sent them out to observ-e conditions in previously unreported areas. Poorly armed and equipped, several of the makeshift weather ships were victims of German torpedoes in the early months of the war. Then, as more combat vessels became available, they were replaced by frigates and other sturdier escort craft.

Under basic U. S. law, the responsibilivj of maintaining the basic network of weather reports for the nation belongs to the Weather Bureau. So when the Coast Guard-marmed PFs first put to sea under the Navy's operational control the men who observed and reported were civilians hurriedly drafted into uniform for one specific job. Although the Navy had long been interested in aerologj' and had employed trained men throughout the naval organization, it had too few men at first to spare for this added program.

Each vessel left port for a fairly extended cruise. It would sail to a previously specified location and remain in But when war came there were mil- that vicinit)- until relieved by another lions of square miles of oceans from weather ship.

hours, and their reports filled in a necessary gap in the overall meteorological pattern of the Pacific for that day and several days to come.

The Uttle ship was a weather station vessel, one of the Navy's small fleet of specially converted frigates and subchasers designed to woo the elements and make them America's Allies in the fight against the Axis. In these days of hitherto unvisualized war in the air, on the sea and on the shores, adverse weather can halt a campaign before it starts or throwits allegiance to the enemy. But not if its idiosyncrasies are known in advance.

ThePFs and PCEs assist in making it possible for each American invasion fleet to steam up to enemy shores in weather of its own choosing.

To explain properly the importance of weather vessels it is necessary to revert to the days of peace when only comparatively small paths of the seven seas were of any value to shipping. Passenger and .cargo vessels as well as Navy ships smck closely to recognized, well-charted sea lanes. Weather information radioed from these ships was more or less along the same route. To provide shipping with adequate knowledge of what might be expected from the elements throughout the voyage, it was necessar)' to fill in the gaps by stationing weather ships and taking advantage of Coast Guard cutters patrolling offshore to fill in the reports for meteorological services on land and the ser\-ices in mrn could broadcast accurate predictions of storms, calms and winds.

88

the reckonings of all ships were compiled on an ocean-wide meteorological pattern which was broadcast in code to all Allied ships, enabling them to chart their courses accordingly.

Knowledge of weather as a strategic weapon soon became of equal importance along with the safety of ships at sea.

In this war there have been many classic examples of the emplojment of weather to assist or cover an operatiorL The Germans waited until dirty weather blanketed the English Channel before sending their pocket battleships, SCHARNHORST and G N E I S E N A U . up to the North Sea from Brest under the very guns of British coastal batteries and aircraft. The German High Command had been assured that the protection would last until the ships could escape. When the Allies massed for the invasion of Normandy the expected weather conditions were a most important consideration.

Without accurate forecasts of impending weather, few of our Pacific landings could have been made. The station vessels had much to do with the predictions of the AUied meteorologists.

Weather, its vagaries and developments, brought about the employment of these vessels on far-flung sea fronts.

Their value has increased enormously with the grow-th of the fleet and with each new naval or mUitan" operation.

Although their primarj- duties are still devoted to the elements, they comprise an interlocking network w-hich other mUitary and naval services were quick to recognize as a potentiaUy important Unk in trans-oceanic air transport. " D EALIZING the value of having ships -•-*- stationed at fairly specific locations across a long stretch of water, the Navy eventuaUy assigned coUateral duties to the weather vessels. Under a plan worked out by the Air-Sea Rescue Service they now act as plane guard vessels, avaUable in their patrol areas to pick up crews which ditch, or to direct other air or surface craft to the spot to handle the rescue. In this respect they are much more valuable than other merchant ships or war vessels. Unencumbered by radio silence they can immediately flash a signal giving the location of the plane in distress.

With the increasing amount of transoceanic air travel for transporting men and supplies to and from the battle fronts, the station vessels have also assumed the job of navigational aids for

friendly aircraft. Planes off course or in trouble can radio to the ships for navigational fixes and can visually sight on them with a fair certainty of ascertaining their approximate position.

That these new precautions have produced tangible results is evident in reports flowing into Air-Sea Rescue commands throughout the world. Recently a giant PB2Y3 was spanning the skyways between Alameda and Oahu. Suddenly, hundreds of miles from any point of land, two of its engines cut out. Below, the seas were rough and the black night made a possible forced landing even more perilous. The Coronado's radioman contacted a Pacific Coast control station. The station flashed a message to a frigate stationed in the vicinity of the troubled craft. The three-way communication continued until the heavy plane, guided by direct signals from the weather vessel, landed in the sea only a few hundred yards away. Boat crews quickly removed the crew, passengers and important cargo from the floundering flying boat, rescuing all but five bags of mail. The plane later broke up and sank under pounding swells.

In carrying out their primary job of observing the weather, the station vessels employ personnel, equipment and methJULY, 1945

ods similar to other meteorological stations throughout the world. To cover thorughly their assigned areas the shipbard aerologists must make a minimum of 12 observations daily in three specific categories: surface, upper winds and radio soundings. In addition to their regular reports they must immediately radio to their base any abrupt or specific changes in the weather in their vicinity.

Surface reports are the least complex to obtain but a minimum of eight of them must be made daily. Data obtained includes temperamre, wind direction and force, cloud forms, ceiling, visibility, state of sea, sea temperature and ocean swell.

Upper wind speeds and direction are obtained through the use of a heliumfilled balloon released from the deck of a weather ship and observed in ascension through the telescope of a theodolite.

Upward speed of the balloon is predetermined by the amount of helium with which it is inflated. By sighting through the theodolite the aerographer can determine azimuth and elevation angle and then by the application of basic geometry compute the wind velocity in several upper strata.

The method, however, provides only two details of the many needed for a

complete report. Aerographers also use a small transmitting radio attached to a larger balloon which ascends as high as ten miles and sends to a special receiver a report on weather on high.

Activated by an aneroid barometer, the transmitter conveys impulses to the receiver in frequencies which vary according to the humidity and temperamre. The receiving set automatically records these impulses on a graph which, when measured and analyzed, give the humidity, temperamre pressure and wind speed for the stratum in which the balloon is then located.

As the importance of weather mounted increasingly in the plans of admirals and generals for fumre campaigns, the demands of all services increased for more accurate forecasting. From time to time, military units unfamiliar with the ways of the sea, asked the Navy to provide weather predictions for certain advanced areas and specific purposes. "Any old ship will do," the spokesmen declared.

N

AVAL officers—aerology experts in particular — disagreed. Although the older Coast Guard vessels which first went on patrol sent in weather reports they were insufficiently equipped to do 89

their job properly. Besides, for lack of armament, they made choice "sitting duck" targets for enemy submarines.

The need for better ships was obvious and the Navy set about to obtain them.

Standard 1,015-ton frigates built by Maritime Commission order were converted in shipyards under direction of the Bureau of Ships acting on proposals outlined by Operations Aerological oflficers. The frigate was an excellent choice.

Armed with three 3-inch, 50-caliber guns, twin-mount 40 millimeter and single 20-millimeter cannon they could put up a hot defense in a surface battle.

In case enemy submarines thought them likely victims they could fight back with sound detectors, depth charge racks and K-guns.

Conversion to weather ships necessitated a few changes in armament but still left the frigate a potent foe with which to deal. The after three-inch gun and one of a cluster of three 20 millimeters were removed. In their place the after deck house was extended and a shelter erected above and forward of it.

In these two new sections the nerve centers of the weather ship was established.

We WadUuf, WUMI — " T H E HOSTESSES"—

Many of us are accustomed to entertaining and feel fairly competent at the job of being a hostess, but we can step back and bow to the three ladies who act as hostesses for the regiment of Midshipmen. Imagine every weekend, and particularly June Week being prepared to receive the guests of 3600 young men.

The background of this stupendous job dates to 1938, when the then Commandant of Midshipmen, Milo Dramel, approved and assisted the addition of a Canteen to the lower deck of Bancroft Hall, the Midshipmen's dormitory. Some place for midshipmen to entertain their families and dates had long been needed.

Prior to the installation of this canteen the only visiting facilities had been the rotunda of Bancroft and a small waiting room. So in 1938 the midshipmen themselves, under the leadership of the MidIn the shelter are inflated the balloons shipmen's Welfare Committee obtained which are so important in weather obthe funds and equipment for the Canservation.

a chaperon in tow, but nevertheless mothers or headmistresses of schools do like to know where their girls are putting up. So for the guidance of midshipmen when obtaining rooms, there is an approved list of rooms and accommodations where the lady of the house presides with a full understanding of the rules and restrictions incumbent on the midshipmen. These lodgings are inspected and approved by the hostesses, thus when they receive letters from anxious mothers, they can answer with assurance.

The Canteen itself would seem to be a full time job for any hostess, her hours are in the afternoon from 2 to 6 P.M. on Saturdays and Sundays. Informality and recreation with the fewest possible rules and restrictions guide the hostess. She sits somewhere in the room, alternating her time between meeting the girls as the midshipmen introduce them, and the informal dancing in Smoke Hall, if it's Sunday afternoon.

The midshipmen are very proud of the "Steerage" and the responsibility of its decorum and informal recreation rests largely on them. Best indication of its popularity are the statistics.

Average weekend sales at the Steerage Fountain approximate $350.00, with sundaes in the lead in popularity at about 600 sold. Next come sodas 200, milkshakes 300, cones 100, coca colas 400, etc. The midshipmen make their purchases by the use of coupon books on sale at the midshipmen's store or at the fountain itself on weekends. Self service is the rule.

Fortunately for the hostesses they do not have the burden of ordering or struggling with the rationing, perhaps that's why the job is a pleasant one. A spilled soda or an overturned drink on a drag's dress may call for advice and assistance from the hostess on duty, otherwise she is free to enjoy her afternoon and a soda or two herself.

The hostesses are informed well in advance of the scheduled events for each month and can make their plans accordingly. On Sunday afternoon there is always dancing in Smoke Hall, and visiting in "Memorial Hall," huge lounge with a beautiful parquet floor and long French windows that overlook the athletic fields and mouth of the Severn River. At the dances, no stags or others than the actual guests of midshipmen are present, and Mrs. Marshall says that she usually takes her knitting although how she finds time to knit even one row be-

tween the introductions and conversations is beyond comprehension.

For the more formal affairs the hostesses are called for and escorted home by the midshipman officer of the watch, or some member of the dance committee, who also acts during the evening as courier if she has a message or request.

Jitterbugging has always been frowned upon at die Academy dances even in its heyday, and now rhumba and congas are much more frequent. Even though the hostess stays until the last girl leaves the building, with the restrictions on the time the boys must return to quarters, all dances clear with no lingering so the hostess can figure her schedule and time very nicely.

June Week is, of course the climax of the year and the hostesses would, if requested, give advice and assistance on wedding plans. The most pressing question, Mrs. Marshall remembers was about the cost of wedding rings. This was so frequent and critical that figures on this item and the cost of bouquets for the bridal party were obtained from Annapolis jewelers and florists, and Mrs. Marshall was able to answer the questions as fast as they came.

Talking of weddings led to talk of the girls who come to Annapolis as drags.

It would seem that the hostesses would be in a constant whirl of questions about lost possessions, tickets or money, but quite the contrary is true. The young ladies are very self possessed, take care of themselves and their belongings competently and justify the confidence of parents and dates that the hostesses will enjoy the guests.

My Life on the Dirty D (Continued from page 31) be months between ports. And even then you can't depend on the next port having a barber. So Clips is not a convenience, but a necessity. There are some 220 heads of hair to cut on the D, and JULY, 1945

to meet Navy standards they should be trimmed every two weeks. At an average of 20 minutes per trim, that figures out to be a solid five hours of haircutting, day in and day out, including Sundays—in addition to Clips' regular shipboard duties. You can see how a few hangovers could make the work pile up.

For his labor, Clips gets 25c a haircut, which he is allowed to pocket. Out of this he has to buy his own tools and supplies. He still makes plenty of whisky money.

Clips loves to swim. A few drinks and this love becomes an obsession. There was, for instance, the time the D was in Casablanca. I was officer-of-the-deck.

Clips hove on board at the dying gasp of liberty, crocked, as they say, to the giUs. He has a tendency to lithp when drunk.

"Mithter Pearthon," he blubbered, "ith a beau'ful night and you're a good fella and I requeth permithion to go thwimming."

"Not on your life," I told him, "You get below and mrn in."

"Mithter Pearthon," he persisted, "if you don't give me permithion I'm going thwimming any^zy." Then entreating, "Pleathe, Mithter Pearthon, I love to thwim."

"No! I repeated. To his friends, "Take him below."

A few minutes later, a blood-curdling whoop rent the peaceful night. A pale apparition flashed by me and sped on down the deck. It was Clips, clad only in skiwy-shorts, hell-bent for swimming.

"Take over!" I shouted to the PettyOfficer-of-the-Watch, and lit out after Clips. He circled No. 3 gun mount and loped up the port main deck, I hot on his heels. "Thwimming party!" he called joyfully as he ran, ""Thwimming party!"

But as he rounded No. 1 gun up on the forecastle, he bumped smack into the startled bow sentry. I was ten steps behind, and we had him.

I ordered him taken below a second time and kept there. Clips, however, had other ideas. He submitted to being led

below contritely enough, and even pretended to mm into his bunk and go quietly to sleep. But a half-hour later he had made his second get-away. One of the men who had brought him back to the ship was the first to miss him. He came speeding up to the quarterdeck to report it.

Again I mrned the gangway over to the P.O.-of-the-Watch to set out with Clips' buddy to stalk the would-be swimmer down. We cautiously approached the fantail calling, "Clips! Clips, where are you?" as to a runaway pet. from the other side of SUDDENLY, the deck came the familiar shout, "Thwimming party!" followed by a splash.

By the time I reached the port rail and shined my flashlight into the water, there was nothing to be seen except ever-widening, circular ripples. I threw a life-ring at the spot from which they emanated, and played the beam of light over the waters. I peered into the darkness for some sign—a bobbing head, a clutching hand. None appeared.

Oh my God! I thought, the poor drunken slob has hit his head, or passed out under there. "Swimmers!" I cried aloud. "We've got to rouse out swimmers!"

"I'm a thwimmer!" piped a voice from the shadows. It was Clips, all but choked with suppressed giggles.

What heavy object he had thrown into the water I never knew, but I did make sure he would make no further trouble that night. I handcufferd him to the bunk myself.

Clips was restricted a while for his fun, of course, but he didn't learn. The very next time he remrned from liberty, he really went swimming.

That was in New London, Connecticut. The Dirty D had tied up alongside another ship at the State Pier. To reach the pier from the D you had to cross the intervening ship. Came four p.m. and the liberty party shoved off. Clips was among them. And as he left, he firmly 91

®

and consciously memorized the path back to the ship—a shrewd practice for any sailor whose memory tends to blank out after a few beers.

The catch in this case was that the D moved to the other side of the pier about six o'clock.

Much, much later. Clips returned. He was coming in on a wing and a prayer.

He staggered up the dock. He careened over the gangway of the sfiip he knew he had to cross. He teetered through an amidships passageway. And he walked smack off the port side into the water!

Clips is restricted more or less regularly. But he has ways of getting out.

He says he has to go into town and get his dippers sharpened. Since — God knows—his clippers always need sharpening, this is always a good one. Clips rolls back hours later with sharp clippers and a breath that blisters the paintwork he had to go over ONEandtimebuyhea said new razor. All might

But just to keep up appearances the barkeep always asked, "What'U it be?" just as if he could whip up a cognac alexander or a creme de mendie frappe.

Our ships barber reminds me sometimes of that Steinbeck bartender. Regardless of the circumstances, his chairside manner is impeccable. His customers may sit on an old garbage can to be worked on.

It is a completely different type of naval war to that to which we have been used, but briUiant organization and improvisation has done the trick.

N

OW, as I said, I left the British Pacific fleet in the middle of one of its many rounds in this great fight to a finish, but this was rather a special round for two reasons. Firstly, it coiricided with the news of the crumbling of Germany, and that laying down of arms in Europe made a strange accompaniment to the sounds of battle out here, strange because it was accepted so quietly. Admittedly the simation did not aUow for any display of rejoicing, but even so, as the good news came through in driblets from the wireless office and spread like

This was a special round also because up until now our British task force in the ring had been jabbing only with its left, its naval aircraft. Time after time torpedo bombers and fighters had been off on strikes bombing and strafing Jap airdromes and instaUations, but its right, its guns, have been mainly on the defensive against enemy aircraft. In this round, however, our task force seized an opening, and the Japs for the first time felt what the combined punch of the batdeships' fourteen inch broadside and the cruisers' six inch, really meant. As the guns roared out and the Jap felt the fuU weight of our sheUs, he on his side made as much use as possible of a form of wing craft which we find it difficult to understand, the suicide bomber.

Now I have watched Hun dive bombers come screaming down at our shipg and have frankly admired their gurs. I have watched buzz bombs spluttering towards our cities and have despised the use of such diabolical weapons, biit when the 'Kamakazi' come out of the skies it is neither one thing or the other. It is something strange and unnamral, something quite beyond our comprehension.

What is going on in their minds as they start that last final dive with their feet padlocked to the rudder bars? Are they drunk with sake? Are they doped or are they just fanaticaUy obsessed? I do not know, but I do know that each tir^"- r '?t I watched that final dive, watched the tracer racing up to meet him I felt instinctively that here was something inhuman coming at me, a robot bomb with a strange ability to twist and mrn.

I happened to catch a very close sight of a suicide the other day. The flak hit him and he started to flame about 500 feet off, but he came drunkenly towards • us. Nothing but a direct hit from a big enough shell to blow the aircraft to smithereens could stop that downward plunge, and as it crashed across the flying deck only a few yards away from me, it came as quite a surprise when I caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure in what looked like green tights hunched up over the controls. As it cartwheeled over the side and blew up, a lot of pieces were thrown back on to the flight deck—bits of joss, a lucky bracelet, a broken stamette with the head missing, and orher proofs of flesh and blood. It sounds odd saying it now, but at the time their very 93

existence in that aircraft came as quite a shock.

T T is a strange sort of war out here. It •^ is a war which has to be won as quickly as possible, and, as I looked back at this British task force, when flying away from them, there could have been no finer or more stirring expression of our determination to see it through with our American allies to the bitter end.

"There were His Majesty's Ships, great and smaU, searching for the enemy. I could see their guns' crews, at action stations and aircraft streaming off the flying decks for another raid on Jap bases. And between decks on those ships, although, of course, I could not see rhem, there were thousands of other men just as important. Any boxer wiU tell you that a knockout punch is not only carried in the arms: it starts in the muscles in the back of the legs. Those thousands of men down below are those muscles, stripped to the waist in the sweltering heat of the boiler and engine rooms, they are the ones who carry the ships forward and give the impems for the lefts and rights of the aircraft and guns. Together, they make up the great team. For weeks on end the men of the British Pacific Fleet never see harbor. For them there are few

distractions, and there is little to break the monotony except the dirill of batde same constant throb of the engines, the and the mails.

U

NFORTUNATELY, the same con-' ditions for growth that have so over-crowded the Association's present quarters make it impossible for the Academy to give us any more space within the grounds. W e simply must have many times the amount of office space we now have, or be choked with our own growth—like a mighty oak trying to grow in a flower pot. j

Yes, the Alumni House wiU be a solurion for each of these three basic needs —and for the accomplishment of these purposes I think the $10.00 minimum contribution that is asked of every alumni is a modest sum indeed.

This amount was arrived at only after careful computation of our minimum financial requirements, as foUows: The property', consisting of two stracmres. Ogle HaU itself and a small brick dweUing, together with their grounds, had to be purchased. The total /cost was §47,500, of which amount $22,500 was paid in cash and the remainder sadsfied by mortgage. This mortgage remains an obligation of the Association to the amount of $25,000.

Although Ogle HaU was in a good state of preservation considering it was built 206 years ago, certain renovating and restorative measures had to be taken. Plans for these were drawn up by Lieutenant Commander Delos H. Smith, (CEC), USNR, an authority on Colonial architecmre. Additional funds were necessary to furnish and equip the HaU as a suitable social and business center. It was decided aU architecmral details and furnishings should be colonial reproductions in keeping with the Hall's dignified historical background, their cost was raised still further. The estimated cost of performing this work on an adequate but conservative scale is $70,000.

Now let me tell you in a little more detail what we obtained for our original purchase price, and how the additional funds are being spent in improving the property.

Ogle Hall is ideally simated at 247 King George Street, adjacent to the Naval Academy. Known familiarly to many alumni as the Porter House or the Cusachs house, it is one of America's historic landmarks. The first map of the City of Annapolis, drawn in 1695, a full 150 years before the founding of the Naval Academy, described the site of the present building. The house itself JULY, 1945

was completed in 1739, a spacious brick residence that still stands substantiaUy as it was erected at that time. A Dr. William Stevenson commenced the building, and his widow carried the work to completion. Within a few years it was one of the most famous homes in Maryland.

Then, in 1747, Samuel Ogle leased the property and made it his residence as the Colonial Governor of Maryland. After his death, it was purchased by his family, and the following entry appears under the date of October 1773 in the diary of none other than General George Washington: "Still in Annapolis, — dining with Mr. Ogle." The Mr. Ogle of whom he spoke was Benjamin, who foUowed in his illustrious father's footsteps and later became Governor of Maryland.

It is interesting to note that Ogle Hall was singled out to be saved from confiscation by the Colonial Government when all British property was being seized.

In 1815 the home was purchased by James Steele, a Maryland gentleman of prominence, and it was as his guest that General Lafayette once remarked that the drawing room was the most beautiful room in America.

Somewhat later the house was occupied by Thomas J. Pratt, stiU another Governor of Maryland in the house's long list of notable owners. Then, in 1867, the property came into the possession of the Porter family—so prominent in the history of our Navy. For many years thereafter it was a meeting place for the ranking officers of the Navy and Army, including Admiral David Dixon Porter, Superintendent of the Naval Academy. In 1923, ownership of the property passed to the daughters of CommcKlore and Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Marguerite Mason Porter Cusachs and Mrs. Rosalie Porter Van Ness, who have retained a life estate in the smaU brick dwelling on the grounds.

In short, haUowed as it is by Washington, Lafayette, Governors of the State, diplomats, and the Navy's great.

Ogle HaU is probably the most worthy imaginable building to become the Alumni House of the United States Naval Academy.

T

heating function wiU not be apparent to the touch. Warm water wiU be circulated through this mbing, resulting in a uniform heat throughout the house without unsightly radiators. It was possible to use the boiler that was already in Ogle Hall, but a new circulating pump had to be instaUed. Another major item was the replacement of all windows, necessary because the old frames and sills were cracked, warped or rotten. It has been necessary to replace mouldings and other trim throughout the house, and I have personaUy taken care to see that they are accurate copies. To make maximum use of basement space, it was necessary to do considerable additional excavating; the ceUar under the house, like many of that period, was in places scarcely deep enough to allow a man to stand upright.

Also, it was unfinished, which necessitated re-bricking. Re-bricking was required, in addition, in many places in the walls and fireplaces. The fireplaces are one of the most interesting feamres of the old mansion. There is one in every room, and all of them acmally work.

In several spots it was necessary to reinforce the original strucmre with steel beams. None of these wiU show, however, when work has been completed, and we have been careful not to alter the floors themselves. They are of wide boards, all fitted together with wooden dowels, showing that they are the original floors of the Colonial period.

The completed Alumni House will be arranged as foUows: The doorway wiU lead into a spacious entrance haU for the convenience of guests in removing wraps. This, in mrn, leads into a central hallway from which stairways go to the other floors. Off this central haU on one side is the Memorial Room which we hope wiU evenmally be of more historical, lasting interest than any other room in the house. Adjoining it is an office for the Secretary of the Association — with room enough, for a change, for the Association's caUers to be comfortable while they are conducting their business.

On the other side of the central hallway is the Lounge Room. This is the old drawing room — the one which Lafayette said was the most beautiful room in America.

The second floor will be given over largely to offices and file rooms of the Alumni Association. There wiU be a room for the Association itself, another for SHIPMATE, and still another for the Alumni Foundation. There is, in addition, a large room which can be used as an additional lounge or game room.

HE work of restoring and rehabilitating the house has been under way since March and is making admirable progress, especially, considering the problems of wartime building. One of the first major alterations to be undertaken was to install radiant heating throughout, removing the steam-heat radiators which had been instaUed in the 19th cenmry and which were not in The feamre of the basement will be keeping with the Colonial architecmre.

A full mile of copper mbing has been a large Tap Room, with space, of installed in the ceilings, where it will be course, for back-bar stowage, etc. Adinvisible and from which position its joining is a poker room and a sandwich 95

kitchen. The Tap Room has a separate entrance from the outside.

The property surrounding the Alumni House will be beautifully landscaped, and wiU have a garden with furnishings for outdoor entertaining. The yard already contains some of the most magnificent trees in Aimapolis which add to the beauty of the sening.

T T is safe to say that the Alumni •*• House wiU be a memorial of which every graduate can be proud. It is a much-needed project which is reaching complerion in a finer form than any of us expected a few years ago. The fact remains, however, that ue do not yet have sufficient funds to complete the restoration and furnishing of the house in the style it so richly deser^'es. Elsewhere in this issue you wUl find a list of those who have supported the Alumni House with contributions. I urge every graduate to put his name on the list with a check for at least $10.00 to assist us in completing this memorial and social center which each of you wdl use and enjoy.

The only comfortable thought I could take from the whole imcomfortable simation was that they were stiU shooting where we d been, not where we were going.

We were down low over the Wan by this rime. Ensign Alms wing guns began to jar the plane and his brass went dribbling in the slipstteam past the turret. H e said later that hed opened up on a sampan in the harbor and what looked like a pagoda on a spit of land.

I could see that what looked like an island from the air was reaUy a camouflaged ship, a net thrown over its superstructure with ttees and foUage entwined there. A TBM was down at deck leveL Sttafing heU out of the side plates widi its .50 caliber turret gim.

Tlie real satisfaction came from looking bade Dust-brown smoke covered the area, red with flame at the boreom.

Several magnificent pillars of smoke and flame went up high above us, mushrooming out at the top. Stiggie was dancing with esdtement down in the bdge.

H e d had his eyes glued to a window there and had watched almost aU our twdve hundred-pounders walk through a long warehouse. The bamUke budding just disappeared. The soundest wallop of the day went to Ensign LeRov Dowden of Longview. Texas. His bombs apjjarendy scored a direa hit on an ammunition dump that went up in his face.

Concussion caved in the quarter-inch turtet plexiglass like an empty egg sheU and showered the pieces on the guimer.

V. E Schroeder, AMM3 c. of Dysart, la^ It bounced D. E. Sheffer, ARM3/c of Cuba City, Wis., two feet in the air and popped open his chute. But the plane stayed in conttoL We were heading out to sea now to join up. I wondered afterward how Ensign Aim ever found his friends in that ttaffic tangle. A Ughthouse went by down below. Somebody had brought back one bomb and taken a aack at the white stone Ughthouse. He didn't even come dose. The splash heaved up the ocean at least 1(X) yards from the target.

Aim caUed up to ask about ENSIGN flak. I ttied to be calm and objective but it StiU seemed pretty hea\T to me. He said he'd seen only a few red snowballs coming up at him as we went down. Stiggie handed up his water canteen to help me wash down part of a crumbUng chocolate bar. Seldom has food tasted as good. We came out over the task force. We had to circle there for three-quarters of an hour before they'd let us land. Then we sat down

easdy on the flight deck. A plane inspector came ninning alongside as we taxied up forÂŤ'ard.

"Looks like something hit you," he said as we climbed out. He pointed to an 8-inch sUt in the fuselage skin near Stiggies side window. It looked as though somebody had sveung an axe at us.

"Maybe somebody did shoot at us," Ensign Aim said.

Thev were certainly shooting that afternoon. A flight took off a few houn after us for practicaUy the same run on the same target. One of our TBM's was hir as it pulled out of its dive.

It went out over the bay smoking.

Some of the men on the strike thought thev saw a parachute flair out behind the stticken plane. That might have been the radioman down in the bdge. He was known as a careful man, who rode with his chute in place most of the time and seldom went into a dive without holding his hand on the emergency release handle of the escape hatch. "The plane went into the bay and watching comrades saw a smaU explosion as ir hit the water. .

Irishman, tried and man "most likely" to be a good officer true from Pittsburgh, and Albion Walwould be Ben Martin, Regimental Com- ton, Jr. Earl Thompson, Academy Track and mander in the final cadet-officer assignment, varsity end on the footbaU team, Field Coach, has told this writer of his point winning high jumper on the field ineffable pride in his '46 men who with

P

their team mates set up track records and individual records in contests that mark the Team as in National first place. Hal Hamberg, captain and javelin, was a fine leader and says Tommy Thompson, "a swell kid."

Of the '46 men, the outstanding sprinter was Johnny Van Velzer.

"Earl Thompson advises this writer: Minot Simons graduates. He was a member of the winning mile relay meet and a fine quarter miler. John Caskey turns in his track suit for a uniform—John won the 880-yard championship. Another loss when '46 graduates is W. Vincent Barry, one of the best runners the Academy has had in years. Barry was captain of his cross country team, youngster year, was a consistent winner, was third in the IntercoUegiates. Last faU, as a first classman he won it and he also won the Indoor Intercollegiate mile championship and placed second outdoors.

"Henry Smith has done well in cross country and this is true of Bob Banks though he has not run this Spring due solely to "Academics." Ben Martin has won points for the Team consistently in the high jump and the broad jump.

He was high point scorer in his plebe year and runner up since then. He has also scored in the discus. His three N stars in track prove him to be a mighty

"Bert Atkinson graduates and thus goes a fine potential high jumper. Gone too are pole vaulters CharUe RiehL Frank Curren, and Bob Brady. Also graduating is Frank KeUey, good javelin thrower."

T AST but not least is Hal Hamberg, ^-' the javelin throwing, broad jumping Captain of the team. In spite of injuries he always has been in there slinging that spear, likewise taking his cracks at the broad jump. He placed in the broad jump in the Army meet for stiU another N star. Great Uttle athlete, fine captain, none bener liked. (It is nice to know that Earl's ttack athletes have won from Army in 1943, 44, and "45. AU told Earl has beaten Army seven times and lost six. Best ever.)

The basebaU team was a better team for having "forty sixers" as foUows: Capt.

Art Jacdbus, outfielder. Dale MueUer, winner of most games in the box, Vic Finos, regular catcher, and Conway Taylor, pitcher. This writer was present at the West Point-Navy game and can assure aU hands that it was a better game and a doser contest than indicated by the score (7-2). Army's footbaU stars Glen Davis, aided by big Ed Rafalko and Bob St. Onge with star pitcher Dick Kinney, won that baU game.

Because "46 has graduated, the Academy lacrosse team is "'out' fourteen of its nineteen letter men. Some of the lacrosse men were fine competitors in other sports: Thus Charles Guy, lacrosse captain, was an exceUent footbaU end, Adrian Black and Ernest Litty were regular guards in basketball, Dave Barksdale, great footbaU quarterback and wonderful tackier. Other lacrosse graduates: X. C. Ward, H. M. StUes, G. W. Mayo, F. B. Koch, J. W. Haupt, W. S. Graham, N. A. Gunderson, W. N. Culp, and J. J. Albright, 'Jr. And now for the 46 men in Comdr.

Buck Walsh's crew (Buck is USNA, '23). Buck has told this writer: "Our "46 crew is the best since 1938. The boys won at Boston from M.I.T. and Harvard.

Lost to Columbia on the Severn but made a magnificent come-back at Ithaca, winning from CorneU, Columbia, and M.I.T.. racing in heats. This crew is Eastern IntercoUegiate champions." OK Buck, fine for you but far finer for these "46 men: Bob Kennedy, Captain. BUl Franc}-. good smdent and good looking and fine t>erson; W. W. Vander WoUc, Jr.. Larry Quigley, Jr., F. A.

In tennis, these graduates in '46 won their letters for winning ten matches, losing one: Capt. H. Edwards, Jr., R. E. Qawford, R. A. Davis, B. W . Hooks, and N. B. Norris, Jr. In golf; Six men of '46 hdped to tie .,\rmy and other\*'ise be undefeated: Capt. D. H. Rankin, S. W. Rowen, and D. M. WaUfer.

Before leaving the athletes for a full due, there seems justification for inclusion here: Vincent Walter Barry proved himself to be one of the outstanding athletes in "1946."" Six times diis erstwhile Midshipman ran against West Point and five times Barry and mates were out in front. He has five N stars.

He never lost a race to a West Pointer in dual ttack. At the West Point meet in May, he estabhshed a new Service meer record in the rmle. Says Earl Thompson, Midshipman Track Coach: "Walt Barry is one of the very greatest nmners the Naxy has ever had. He was ' I 'HIS writer has observed the fencers Captain of Cross Country in his youngâ&#x20AC;˘*â&#x20AC;˘ and can thus report that the men of ster year."

"One, Suh." '"Shove out." "'Permission to ask a question Suh." "'Go ahead."

"How many words do you think there are. Suh?" '"Two, of course."

It seems incredible that the aerial torpedoes which tore her port side from end to end did not destroy everything and everyone aboard. However, after the OKLAHOMA was righted, following one of the most difficult salvage operations in history, dishes and other equipment of the officers wardroom pantry were found unbroken within a short distance from die spot where one of the aerial torpedoes struck.

The Museum has just received from Rear Admiral William K Furlong, USN, Commandant of the Navy Yard in charge of the salvage operations at Peari Harbor, several pieces of silver used in the wardroom, two of them practically undamaged. A silver vegetable dish and sugar bowl, twisted completely out of shape, graphically show the effect of the terrific explosion. These are now on display in the "Lest We Forget" section of the Museum.

[Editor's Note: The following is presented because this may be the line of reasoning the Allies will have to combat at the peace table or any other discussions at the close of the Japanese war.} One of the most remarkable documents of the war with Japan has just been placed on display in the Museum.

It was written during the last days of Iwo Jima by Rear Admiral R. Ichimaru, of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and was found on the body of a dead Jap soldier after the fall of the island. Addressed to President Roosevelt, it attempts to justify the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, to explain the Imperial Doctrine of the Nippon-jin, and to prophesy the fate of the Western World.

It IS obviously the work of a man who did not expect long to live, and, while the reasoning is specious and trend of thought is sometimes interrupted for philosophical asides, it is an interesting JULY, 1945

revelation of an Oriental mind confronted with defeat and possible annihilation. The body of Admiral Ichimaru has not yet been found, according to reports from the headquarters of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, USN, who forwarded rhe document. It was loaned to the Museum by Captain George W. Campbell, USN, Deputy Director of the Office of Public Information.

With the principal document, which is in Japanese characters, was enclosed a beautifully-penned English translation, made by some member of the Japanese Admiral's staff. It is given here, in full, for the first time: "Rear Admiral R. Ichimaru of the Japanese Navy sends this note to Roosevelt. I have one word to give you upon the termination of this batde.

"Approximately a century has elapsed since Nippon, afrer Commodore Perry's entry to Shimoda, became widely affiliated with the coimtries of the world.

During this period of intercourse Nippon has met with many national crises as well as the undesired Sino-Japanese War, Russo-Japanese War, the World War, the Manchurian Incident, and the China Incident. Nippon is now, unfortunately, in a state of open conflict with your country. Judging Nippon from just this side of the screen you may slander our nation as a yellow peril, or a blood thirsty nation, or maybe a protoplasm of military clique.

"Though you may use the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor as your primary material for propaganda, I believe you, of all persons, know best that you left Nippon no other method in order to save herself from self-destruction.

"His Imperial Highness, as clearly shown in the "Rescript of the Founder of the Empire,' "Yoseu' (Justice), â&#x20AC;˘Choki' (Sagacity) and 'Sekkei' (Benevolence), contained in the above three fold doctrine, rules in the realization of 'Hakko-ichiu' (the universe under His Sacred Rule) in His Gracious mind.

"The realization of which means the habitation of their respective fadierlands under their own customs and traditions, thus insuring the everlasting peace of the

world.

"Emperor Meiji's 'The four Seas of the world, that are united in brotherhood, will know no high waves nor wind' (composed during the Russo-Japanese war) won the appraisal of your uncle, Theodore Roosevelt, as you yourself know.

"We, the Nippon-jin, though may follow all lines of trade, it is through our each walk of life that we support the Imperial doctrine. We, the soldiers, of the Imperial Fighting Force take up arms to further the above stated "doctrine."

"Though we, at rhe time, are externally taken by your air raids and shelling, backed by your material superiority, spiritually we are burning with delight and enjoying the peace of mind.

"This peacefulness of mind, the common universal stigma of the Nippon-jin, burning with fervour in the upholding of the Imperial Doctrine may be impossible for you and Churchill to understand. I here-upon, pitying your spiritual feebleness, pen a word or two.

"Judging from your actions, white races, especially you Anglo-Saxons, at the sacrifice of the coloured races are monopolizing the fruits of the world.

"In order to attain this end, countless machinations were used to cajole the yellow races, and to finally deprive them of any strength. Nippon, in retaliation to your imperiahsm, tried to free the oriental nations from your dogged opposition.

You now consider your once friendly Nippon an harmful existence to your luscious plan, a bunch of barbarians that must be exterminated. The completion of this Greater East Asia War will bring about the birth of the East Asia Co-Prosperity Area, this in turn will, in the near future, result in the everlasting peace of the world, if, of course, is not hampered upon by your unending imperialism.

"Why is it that you, an already flouishing nation, nip in bud the movement for the freedom of the suppressed nations of the East. It is no other than to remrn to the East that which belongs to the East. "'It is beyond our contemplation when we try ro understand your stinted narrowness. The existence of the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere does not in anyway encroach upon your safety as a nation, on the contrary, will act as a pillar of world peace insuring the happiness of the world. His Imperial Majesty's true aim is no other than the attainment of this everlasting peace. ""Smdying the condition of the neverending racial struggle, resulting from mumal misunderstanding of the European countries, it is not difficult to feel the need of the everlasting universal peace.

"Present Hitler's crusade of His Fatherland' is brought about by no other than the smpidity of holding only Ger105

many, the loser of the World War, solely responsible for the 1914-1918 calamity and the deprivation of Germany's reestablishment Tt is beyond my imagination of how you can slander Hitler's program and at the same time cooperate with Stalin's Soviet Russia' which has as its principle aim the socialization' of the world at large.

"If only the brute force decides the ruler of the world, fighring will everlastingly be repeated, and never will die world know peace nor happiness.

XTpon the attaiimient of your barbaric world monopoly never forget to retain in your mind the failure of your predecessor. President Wilson, at his heights."

Flag Captured

by

Boarders

In the historic action of June 4, 1944, when a U. S. Navy task force group attacked, boarded and captured the German submarine U-505, the Nazi fliag and flagstaff were secured by Captain Daniel V. Gallery, USN, commanding officer of the USS GUADALCA>fAL, escort carrier with the task force. Admiral Jonas H. Ingram, USN, Commander i n Chief, Atlantic Fleet, ordered the flag sent to die Naval Academy Museum, to join enemy batde flags of all the wars in which the U. S. Navy has taken part.

The flag of the U-505 is particularly significant because it is the first taken by a U. S. Navy boarding party from a foreign enemy craft since 1815.

T H E ALL^MNI FOLTSTJATION

The Aims and Purposes of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Foundation as stated in the Certificate of Incorporation are: "To encourage the cultivation and smdy of Military and Navy Science, to assist worthy young men in their preparation for admission to the United States Naval Academy, the United States Military Academy, or academies, schools, colleges, or universities offering courses in Naval or Military Science and operated in whole or in part by. or under the direction of, the United States of America; to acquire, erect, equip and maintain a hall or other buildings for the preservation and exhibition of historical documents, books, jmintings. prints, war materiel, and other objects, and for the administration of the affairs of the Corporation; to erect and maintain historic monuments and memorials in honor of those who have died or shall die in the defense of our country or who have brought or shall bring fame and glory to its armed forces; "To receive real or personal propeny by gift, devise, bequest or otherwise, and to maintain a fund or funds and apply the income and principal thereof to the promotion of the objects of the Corporation; and to make awards, grants, scholarships and create endowments for the purpose of promoting and carrying out any of the objects and purposes of the Corporation."

This project moved with smbborn slowness, due to delays in the preparation of complicated and important matters such as: 1. The preparation of the Certificate of Incorporation.

2. The preparation of the By-Laws.

3. Obtaining approval of the Certificate of Incorporation by the State Tax Commission of Maryland.

4. Obtaining a Federal income tax ruling. A letter received from the Treasury Department of the United States reads in part: "This office has ruled on your proposed Certificate of Incorporation and held that if you are established

and operated strictly in accordance with die purposes set forth in your proposed Certificate of Incorporation, you would be exempt from Federal income tax under the provision of Section 101(6) of the Internal Revenue Code."

The Trustees and the Association are indebted to W. S. Moorhead, Esquire, of Pittsburgh, experienced in foundation maners, who so generously gave his services in reviewing the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws as a contribution to the Foundation.

The Foundation has received cash gifts totalling $10,685.35 to date, and other gifts are pending.

There are now rwo organizations— the Alumni Association and the Alumni Foundation. Contributions to the Foimdation are deductible in computing Federal income tax—not to exceed 15''? of the net income. Throughout the years the FcHindation wUl endeavor to buUd up the endowment with contributions from members, non-members, and their families.

4. Due to the War, some of the Trustees were unable to attend any meetings, but nevertheless there were many evidences of their interest—such as one from Fleet Admiral Nimitz, who remrned the minutes, approved, with the comment— "Sorry not to have been present, but was busy elsewhere with the Japs." The attendance of Trustees on duty in the vicinity of Washington was surprisingly good. Admirals D. F. SeUers, W. H. Standley, and H. E. YarneU; Vice Admirals Wilson Brown, RusseU WiUson, and Randall Jacobs; Rear Admiral Bryson Bruce, Captain M. D. Gilmore, Commander W. W. Honaker, Mr. John Waldhauer and Vice President George B. Junkin have given generously of their time and ability in regular attendance of the Trustee meetings. There are no trustees' fees or travel aUowances.

5. The number of votes cast in the 1944 election for Officers and Tmstees was far in excess of any other year. Accordingly, it would appear that the more far-flung and hazardous the activities of the Navy are, the more interest graduates have in their Association.

6. In order to encourage West Coast Trustees to attend at least one meeting a year, I suggest that, after the War, the Association authorize a traveling aUowance (cost of transportation oidy) for Trustees whose traveling expenses exceed $50.00 per meeting.

In making the last landfall of my twoyear cruise as President of the Association, I have this to say: The Officers and Trustees are grateful to Rear Admiral J. R. Beardall, Superintendent of the United' States Naval Academy, for his cooperation in our aims and purposes; to him and Mrs. BeardaU, and Captain Charles O. Humphreys of the Athletic Association, for their, many courtesies to us when meetings were held at the Naval Academy.

At times the Trustee meetings were stormy—an excelletit portent—for continuous fair weather makes for careless seamen.

Prior to June 7, 1907, my fondest, but not too confident hope, was that I should one day be graduated from the Academy, and since June 7, 1907, and as long as I shall live, the realization of that hope will be my proudest boast. Nor could I wish for a greater honor than to have been President of the Naval Academy Alumni Association.

Successors who are progressive never need the advice of their predecessors as to fumre policies. But should my successor desire explanations or information in regard to past policies, I shall be pleased to be of service.

SAN FRANCISCO Our 6 June dinner proved a fine one in so far as the program was concerned as Rear Adm. Harold C. Train, USN, had obtained for us as our Guest Speaker, President Isaiah Bowman of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. The food was par exceUence.

Our attendance, however, was not quite up to that of our May dinner, but we were highly pleased to have with us again Rear Adm. R. P. McCuUough, USN-Ret., '04. Admiral McCuUough has but recendy returned from several years' duty in Washington, D. C We were somewhat disappointed at the faUing oflF in attendance on the part of the senior officers on duty in this area, and particularly at the enforced absence of Rear Adm. Edgar L. Woods (MC>, USN; Admiral Woods unfor-

tunately was indisposed on account of illness, and we joined in extending to him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Rear Adm. Harold C. Train, USN, introduced our Guest Speaker, Dr. Isaiah Bowman, and confined his remarks strictly to an introductiori as both he and Dr. Bowman are members of the American Delegation to the UNCIO and were scheduled for a conference following our dinner. Admiral Train advises that this present conference, UNCIO, is the eighth of somewhat similar international conferences that he has been fortunate to attend, and we believe that the Navy is equally fortunate in having an officer of Admiral Train's quaUty available for this type of international organization work. It may seem somewhat far afield from the ordinary routine work of a naval officer, but it is one of the many aspeas of service in the Navy that makes such duty most interesting.

Dr. Bowman based his talk on his background of many unusual experiences as an explorer and geographer and too, as a member of a number of commissions, including those of the territorial boundaries at the Peace Conference in Paris in 1919. As Dr. Bowman is serving as an adviser to the American Delegation at the San Francisco UNCIO meetings, he was careful to avoid any mention of concrete problems involved in the present conference. However, he did give a splendid picture of some of the discussions with Clemenceau at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and too, he indicated the great difficulty in arriving at satisfactory conclusions when the interests of so many nations are involved and

the intricacies of so many languages make satisfactory terminology difficult. Dr. Bowman, laughingly, remarked that his grandfather was a minister and that, in consequence, he found himself at times prone to resort to preaching, particularly if he had an attentive audience.

However, the chairman, in thanking Dr. Bowman for this talk, remarked that in no way had we found his observations encroaching into the field of a sermon. It was a very valuable and enjoyable talk.

Again, we were pleased at having with us a number of good friends from civilian life, and these are noted as foUows: D. Porter Dunlap (Bank of America); Sherwood Hall (Brother of Jimmy, 1907); Gordon W. Hay (with Ned Marbourg, 1917); Dr. Philip H. Pierson (Stanford); Dr. J. J. Sale (formerly Lt (MC), USN, 1917); L. E. Silveira (guest of Eugene Burton, 1928).

Also, we were very glad to have with us some representatives of the Army, and these were: Brigadier General R. A. WyUie, USA-Ret., (guest of Admiral Huntington); Colonel H. H. Galliett, USA, (Commanding Officer of the Presidio, San Francisco); Captain L. F. Jurgemeyer, USA. The Supply Corps was well represented at this dinner but we missed Captain Bull, Captain Helm and Captain Schumann, (SC), who had been with us at former dinners.

Those present at this dinner were: Captain W. J. Hine, (SC); Captain G. P. Smallman, (SC); Commander M. E. Heslip, (SC); Lieutenant W. S. Clark, (SC); Lieutenant W. M.

And, finally, while the attendance of our regular members was gratifying, we would enjoy seeing the number praaically doubled.

These "get-togethers" are most enjoyable and successful, and those of us who attend regularly believe that these dinners serve as a splendid medium not only for renewing our many service friendships but also for making good friends for the service among the civilians in these bay cities.

MMEDIATELY after Pearl Harbor, the airline's gave up half their planes to a hard-pressed Uncle Sam. Then, as the tempo of war picked up and the nation demanded speed and more speed, the men and women who fly our sky routes turned in one of the greatest jobs in transportation history.

Working against terrific handicaps in shortage of equipment, the airlines carried more and more and more. Passengers and freight increased. The load ratio went from 59% in 1941 to an "impossible" 90% in 1944. Planes put in more and more hours per day . . . until many were flying eighteen out of twenty-four, and only perpetual overhaul kept them going.

Through three long, tough years, maintenance crews fought the battle of the monkey wrench to keep America's precious, time-saving handful of commercial ships in the air and on schedule. Month in and month out pilots flew them sweet and careful . . . nursed them for speed . . . hung up new safety records . . . delivered vital goods and people to keep the war eflFort running at an ever faster pace.

Today, with relief in sight, the airlines are pointing the way for postwar America and the wrorld.

Against high wartime operating costs, they recently announced rate cuts. Airline route mileage in U. S. is at an all-time high of 62,937 miles. Freight carried is nearly four times the prewar load. Total passenger miles last year were nearly a billion higher.

If air transport can do such a tremendous job in the face of warborn shortages of personnel and equipment, what will it do in peace! With a great body of schooled pilots and mechanics to draw upon and available equipment of a quality, carrying capacity and operating efliciency that were scarcely dreamed of in the prewar days, the sky's literally the limit!

It will be a privilege for us to join forces with this industry in building the coming Age of the Air! Look to Jack & Heintz for better things for flying!
