THE STRENGTH W E NEED, by George Fielding Eliot (Viking, $3.00) Major Eliot believes that the word "defensive" is obsolete and misleading, because the only security which has any meaning today is "ofiFensive readiness."

He believes that our one real enemy is war itself; that our job is preventive more than anything else; and that the only safe measure of prevention is to keep ourselves so strong that no enemy will consider it worthwhile to attack. What that strength will involve in men, materiel, and disposition of forces, is the main sub-

jea of T H E STRENGTH W E N E E D .

Major Eliot takes account of the new time element injected by the atomic bomb and other new techniques of warfare. He measures our probable foes and our namral allies with particular emphasis on Russia. He is reassuring about our present strength, but goes far beyond most Americans in his estimate of our peace time military requirements.

T H E STRENGTH W E N E E D should be read by a lot of people, including the atomic bomb scientists, the proponents of absolute airpower and the Pacifists. Here is a civilian telling aU Americans that no single weapon is absolute and that victory in war can only be gained by the coordinated and balanced effort of all the military services. As regards the merger issue, Major Eliot has much to say, but the gist can be boiled down to the simple statement that, "The total and global wars of today are just too vast in their demands on knowledge and ability to be mn on the one-man decision basis."

Government Emplbyihent — Disability Pay — Reserve Disability for Service Unification

an QapAioi Jlill

By Fred Lardner

"J:

OINT" and "uniform" are terms used to describe new Army and Navy personnel legislation now in the mill.

Postwar personnel legislation is far from complete, particularly as it concerns Reserve officers and men. President Truman, pursuing his policy of unifying the Army and Navy, has told members of Congress that legislation should provide the same consideration and benefits for the officers and men of each service. In fact, the President vetoed some bills because, he said, they favored the men of one branch.

The Joint Army-Navy Persormel Board has been considering legislation dealing with the following points: Retirement benefits for Reserves; Changes in physical disability retirement laws; Uniform

discharge procedures; Army and Navy reserve officer training corps; Remuneration for cadets and midshipmen; Procurement of enlisted personnel.

Some bills concerning retirement of Reserves were considered in the last Congress. One bill, H. R. 7063, was passed by the House and stymied in the Senate. A similar bill, S. 1974, did not get out of the Senate because certain Senators contended its retirement benefits would constimte a bonus for past services, while such benefits should have the effect of inducing Federal service in the fumre. Another bill, H. R. 4758, was objected to by the Navy Department while under consideration by the House Military Affairs Committee.

H. R. 4758 provided that an officer,

Solid Comfcrt—

warrant officer or enlisted man of the Reserves could retire at 50 years of age or when he has been credited with 15 years of service in either the Army or the Navy, or both. The minimum requirement would be ten years of active non-Federal service in a reserve component plus five years of active Federal service. Periods of sea duty or field training and of service education would count as active Federal service. Retirement pay would be 2J^ percent of annual Federal pay received at the time of discharge or relief times the number of years served not to exceed twenty years of active Federal service.

AU this legislation is being considered by the Joint Army - Navy Personnel Board, and a bill satisfactory to both the Army and the Navy will be submitted to the 80th Congress.

Judging by inquiries reaching SHIPMATE, many officers do not understand other retirement and disability legislation which became law in 1946. We herewith discuss three of these laws.

Phoenix Chair Chairs for the service needn't be stiff and formidable appearing—just because they must conform to specifications that demand heavyduty, long lasting construction.

Phoenix chairs for example meet all Navy requirements . . . but construction innovations, such as steam bending, plus refinements in design provide chairs that not only look more inviting and restful, but are more inviting and restful. So it is that these chairs have been preferred by officers and men on ships and at shore stations all over the world. The next time you need chairs of any kind, for any purpose, you'll probably like to see what Phoenix offers.

Employment

On August 10 President Truman signed a bill authorizing the Veterans Administration to employ retired commissioned or warrant officers without affecting their retired stams. Discussion of this bill might well involve discussion of other Federal Government employment of retired officers.

"The purpose of the proposed measure," wrote General Omar M. Bradley, Veterans Administrator, to the House Military Affairs Committee, "is to enable the Veterans Administration to secure the services of a number of outstanding physicians, executives, a n d hospital managers who have had highly specialized training and experience in the management of hospitals and offices and who are urgently needed in the expanding organization of the Veterans Administration to provide adequate care for World War II veterans. A number of such persons are retired officers of the military or naval forces and it is not possible for the Veterans' Administration to secure the services of certain of such officers under existing laws.

America's Choice for "Best-Tasting" Cereal is Whole-Grain Qnaker Oats!

Quaker Oats is the kind of breakfast that helps make a fellow feel ready to tangle in any real "he-man" action! It's great to know that this nutritional treat is also the favorite breakfast cereal of the nation. Yes, that famous nut-tasty flavor, toasted right in by special process has won all America—more servings of Quaker Oats are consumed than any other cereal.

Brimful of whole-grain benefits needed by everyone for top vitality and strength, a delicious bowlful of Quaker Oats is a wonderful way for active servicemen to start their day.

The new National War College will be an example of closer cooperation between

Services

——a truly senior institution

o f

higher learning

NOVEMBER,

1946

W / ' H A T is the NationalWarCoUege? ^^ What is its purpose? Where is it located, and when will it open? Who is eligible to attend? These are the questions that are being asked with increasing frequency by officers of the Armed Services and of the State Department's Foreign Service.

A new, top-level college, the first of its kind in the entire history of our nation is being organized under the direction of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and with the active aid and cooperation of the State Department. This new college is the outgrowth of the war-time Army and Navy Staff College, for the latter proved beyond doubt the benefit to be gained in truly "joint" education. The National War CoUege will be the "highest level educational institution of the Armed Forces and of the State Department," senior to the Navy War College, the Army Command and General Staff School, and the Army Air Forces School.

Unlike the unilateral and highly channelized courses of instruction that have been typical of the various service schools in the past, this new institution is to foster and to promote the close integration and understanding so necessary between the highest levels of the Armed Forces and of the State Department. It will give future flag and general officers a complete insight into the formulation and application of United States foreign policy and at the same time will give future statesmen an oppormnity to study the military strategy which is such a vital element of national policy.

The curriculum has been carefully organized to include studies on: science and its effect on war; basic factors of national power, national policy and national relations; the interests, objectives and capabilities of the United States and of foreign powers; national and world-wide security and studies of military elements upon which United States' national power depends. Subjects will be presented by lecmres, committee or team studies and by seminars. Students will participate in all discussions freely and at length to a degree unusual in our former schools.

The college is to be a collection of mature individuals who meet for the interchange of ideas and interests within the

framework of the proposed curriculum. ' T ' HE National War College opened on •'- 3 September 1946, and will graduate its first class in June of 1947. It is to be located in Washington, D. C , on the site formerly occupied by the Army War College. Since the Industrial College is to participate in much of the work of the new college, much renovation and reconstruction of the old Army War College building is being done. All possible effort is being made in order to fit the surroundings to the standards required by such a fine instimtion.

The initial smdent body will include 90 students equally divided among the Armed Services, and ten smdents from the Department of State. Entrance requirements have been pubhshed by the services. One of the primary requisites is that smdent candidates must have demonstrated capability for the highest command and staff positions.

The commandant of this new coUege is Vice Admiral Harry W. HiU; USN; deputy commandants, Maj. Gen. A. M. Gruenther, USA, and Brig. Gen. T. H. Landon, USA; Mr. Donald Russell, Assistant Secretary of State, directs his department's participation in the coUege.

The faculty wiU be drawn from the Armed Services, State Department, and prominent civilian educators. Military members have been carefully selected with a view to obtaining outstanding experts in each field. Several of our famous colleges and universities have indicated such interest in the establishment of this coUege that they have volunteered the services of outstanding educators as members and associate members of the faculty. Lecmrers at the coUege wiU be prominent scientists and other civilian specialists of national and international reputation.

The commandant and his assistants who are organizing the new college are unusually enthusiastic. And why not?

They are engaged in a work which was predicted years ago by far-sighted smdents of total war. The three departments are giving unselfish support. The college world is unstinting in its contribution and there is a great deal of competition for smdent nominations.

By Louis H. Bolander More Navy men-of-war were lost without trace in World War H than in anv other war in our history

' T ' H E Navy Department announced â&#x20AC;˘'- just before the end of last year that World War II had added eight vessels to the list of warships of the United States Navy that have vanished without traceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; four surface vessels and four submarines.

From the year 1780, the year before CornwaUis' surrender at Yorktown to the present day, twenty-eight naval craft, varying in size from 19000-ton coUiers to whaleboats have been listed successively as "overdue," "missing," and finaUy "lost." These ships have included almost every type of ship ever in the Navy, except battleships and cruisers, from oldfashioned saiUng frigates, sloops, brigs and schooners, to modern destroyers and submarines. The number of the crewmen lost on most of these ships is known definitely, and from the tonnage and armament of the others the personnel lost can be closely estimated. It can be calculated that in our Navy's long history, at least 2962 officers, men and passengers have disappeared in these twenty-eight "vanished" ships. This number is equal to the combined naval dead in aU the wars in which we have fought prior to World War II. On the basis of information now avaUable to us it seems probable that 13, or nearly half, of these "vanished" ships were lost in the Atlantic, three in the Gulf of Mexico, two in the Caribbean, two in the Java Sea, one in the China Sea and 7 in the Pacific. Induded in the 7 lost in the Pacific are the four submarines lost in the late war, but the Navy Department has given no information as to probable location at the time of their loss.

Of the Navy's surface warships lost without trace in World War II, a few facts are known. The jARVis, a 1500-ton destroyer, buUt in 1937, badly damaged in the Solomons fighting, put into Tulagi Harbor, and then steamed south for an Australian repair base. She was never seen again. Whether she was sunk by enemy action or foundered because of damages earlier sustained, wiU probably never be known. Her date of loss can be placed as late August or early September 1942.

Both the EDSALL and PILLSBURY were

8

1190-ton flush-deck destroyers, completed just after World War I, and sister ships to the destroyers aaded to Great Britain in exchange for Atlantic bases in the aunimn of 1940. They took part in the savage fighting in the Java Sea in late February and early March 1942, desperately attempting to halt the Japanese in their drive southward towards Australia. They both took part in the action in which the heavy cruiser H O U S T O N was sunk. They may have foundered because of damage sustained in this action, or they may have been attacked later by Japanese submarines, surface ships or aircraft. But they were never seen after the Java Sea action. The old gunboat ASHEVILLE was but recendy removed from the Navy's Ust of "vanished" ships after almost four years. This action was taken because of one survivor of the ASHEVILLE who has thus far been traced.

He was Fred Louis Brown, fireman, second class, of Fort Wayne, Indiana. According to Brown's story, the ASHEVILLE was sunk by the Japanese early in the morning of 1 March 1942. Many of her crew were struggling in the water when Vf.'o Nipponese destroyers came alongside. One of them threw a line and rescued Brown, but left the others to drown.

Brown was taken to the Macassar prison camp in Java, where he underwent the usual humiliations and starvation, and died in the spring of 1945. But before his death he related his story to Seaman, Second Class, Joe San Sisk, who relayed his story to his superiors after his release.

The fourth surface ship to be lost in World War II and the only one in the Atlantic, was the ATTICA, a real ship of mystery. Fitted out as a "Q-boat" like the mystery ships of the first World War, and equipped with some highly secret antisubmarine devices, she was sent out into the Atlantic at the high point of the German submarine offensive against AUied shipping. Because of the secret namre of her mission the Navy made no announcement of her loss during the war.

in World War U, only four were sunk without trace, the BULLHEAD, BONEFISH, LAGARTO and SNOOK. N O details

of the last known activities of these submarines have been released by the Navy.

In World War I only one Navy ship vanished, the 19000-ton coUier CYCLOPS, perhaps the most baffling of the Navy's sea mysteries. With a cargo of manganese, 57 passengers, 20 officers and a cjrew of 213 she was due in port on 13 March 1918. On 4 March she put in at Barbados, British West Indies, for bunker coal.

On the next day after she left Barbados she communicated with another ship, reported "fair weather" and mentioned no difficulty or distress of any sort. She was never heard from again. Every effort was made to trace her and much has been written and said about her disappearance.

However, no satisfactory theory or evidence for her loss has ever been advanced.

The German Admiralty after the 1918 Armistice was questioned concerning her, but claimed no knowledge of her fate.

Berween the two World Wars one Navy ship vanished at sea, the fleet mg, CoNESTOGA, with 56 officers and men.

She left Mare Island Navy Yard on 25 March 1921, for Pearl Harbor emoute to Samoa where she was ro resume her duties as station ship. She never reached Pearl Harbor. For seven months Navy ships and aircraft searched for her without success. On 17 May 1921, the steamship SENATOR picked up a lifeboat berv^-een the California Coast and Hawaii, bearing the letter C This letter was removed and sent to the Navy Department.

But the lifeboat was destroyed. It seems likely that the boat belonged to the CoNESTOGA but after the boat's destruction no positive identification could be made.

No Navy ship was lost without trace either in our War with Mexico, the CivU War or in our War with Spain. In the War of 1812 one such ship was lost, the sloop of war W A S P , 18 guns, 140 men, URPRISING it is and a tribute to the commanded by Captain Johnston Blakeefficacy of our naval inteUigence that ley, USN.

MACHINE SHOP the machine ONshopsomewasshipsa duUI knew, and prosaic necessity. It was there simply because there were certain parts of the vessel that would break down, or faU apart, and would have to be fixed.

But not so on The Dirty D! There was no spot on our ship that was cared for with more pride and loving care, no activity that was busier. The work that went on there was inspired rather than routine, and the atmosphere was congenial rather than work-a-day.

It was a kind of social center for the putterers of aU ranks and aU departments.

This was, as I see it, due to three factors. First of aU, the Engineering Officer, under whose general cognizance the shop fell, was proud of how self sufficient his DE was with regard to repairs. He liked to brag that his boys could manufacmre a whole steam valve or burner head from saatch, if necessary — and they probably could have. Secondly, with the men who ran the shop, it was strictly a labor of love. There was Anson, Shipfitter 1/c, who was the kind of namral-born fixer you'd expect to iind in the Seabees — but here he was on shipboard. There was Junt, Metalsmith 2/c, who must have worn a welder's mask in his crib and teethed on a hunk of solder. And there was Roberts, Machinist's Mate 3/c, a youngster who had made his living before the war keeping old cars on the road another year by working 'em over in his father's garage.

The third factor in the prominence of the machine shop was the Captain. He was a gadgeteer who would have made Rube Goldberg take up crocheting. The boys in the shop would be puttering away at some relatively unimportant job like putting the oil centrifuger back into working order before the engineering plant broke down when the Captain would appear in the midst of the machine shop without warning, like Mephistopheles in Faust. And aU work would stop while the Captain took over on the NOVEMBER,

lathe personaUy, to mrn out a new remote-control, automatic, thermostat-operated cigar-butt-extinguisher for his cabin.

The net result of aU these personal factors working together was, as I have hinted, a machine shop that would have made Henry Ford drool with envy. It had extra tools and equipment of aU kinds, from extra welding outfits to a complete electric chipping hammer. It had extra stock galore—sheet steel and bar steel and brass shapes and copper mbing and God Knows What AU—stored from the o\ erheads to the bilges.

I hardly need add that aU this extra gear and supplies was strictly cum-shaw, right down the line. The Yard Birds could get hot coffee and cigarettes (by the carton) and maybe a pound of hardto-get butter on the side, almost any time in the machine shop of The Dirty D. And we went out of port a foot lower in the water than any other DE in the vicinity!

Much of the labor and much of the excess stock acmally went for regular jobs. Anyone who has never served on a war-built DE has no idea how hard it was to keep them all in one piece and steaming without interruption. There were valves that leaked and had to be ground and reworked. There were machine parts that snapped and had to be replaced.

There were innumerable pipes, lines, stanchions, and supports that simply couldn't take the pounding of Atlantic duty and had to be repaired or strengthened. There were hooks to be moved from here to there. There were smds for the guns that had to be changed from that size to this.

NE night we got the report, made O with admirable calmness by the Security Patrol, 'that the ship was coming in rwo in the middle. And sure enough, it was! From the top of the boat deck, a couple of feet down the bulkheads on either side of the ship, a perceptible crack extended. As we watched, it widened and closed, widened and closed, with the straining of the ship. One more job for the repair gang from the machine shop.

99

But such routine tasks occupied only a small portion of the machine shop's time on The D. Our Captain was an innovator. To accommodate extra men in the crew, he added twenty-odd bunks to the crew's quarters — aU installed by the machine shop gang. He added a shelter to the open bridge, so the navigator could work in inclement weather without getting his precious charts wet. He had showers installed in the engine rooms, so the traffic on the regular showers would be relieved. He added removable weUs to the wardroom deck, to hold the chair legs tightly so the chairs wouldn't be hurled all over the compartment in heavy seas.

But it was in his own cabin that he really outdid himself. He rigged up a remote receiver and speaker at his door so he could answer visitors' questions without stirring from his sack. He had the machine shop mrn out a glass-wool insulated steel butter-box. Yes, a thermos-like affair meant to hold a quarterpound of butter and keep it cool and hard so the Captain could have midnight snacks in his cabin or take his own butter when he made jaunts into the butterless world ashore! But the prize of all was the Captain's floating sack. Intensely and painfuUy susceptible to seasickness, he decided one day that the answer would be a bed on gimbles. So he designed such a monstrosity, and had the machine shop gang build and install it—a bunk suspended from a network of chains so that it moved only slightly despite the most violet gyrations of The D. All the mobility of a hammock, plus the comfort Ol mattress and springs.

One particular vagary of the Captain's, however, caused the machine shop gang more trouble than the whole main propulsion plant together. That was his motor scooter. He had had his heart set on one from the time he first saw them putputting around the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

And he finally bought one out of the Welfare and Recreation Fund. It always puzzled us a little (as it later puzzled a Board of Inquiry — but that's another story) how the purchase of the scooter (Continued on page 14)

through die wardrooms ITofhastheechoed Fleet for years—^but we still like the old tale of the Commander, Special Service Squadron, who was so particular about his eight suits of Phihppine Drill whites that nobody but his special dusky laujidress in Panama was permitted to wash them.

Toward the end of one of his periodical good-wiU cruises up the coast of Central America, the Adiniral caUed in his Flag Lieutenant.

"MacGiUicuddy," he said. "This is my last suit of whites I'm wearing now. Send word to Panama to have my laundress ready to pick 'em aU up when we get iiL I'll have to have them cleaned up pronto."

The mighty communications system struggled a few hours with the problem, and when next MacGiUicuddy was called in, the Admiral was in the throes of a monimiental rage.

"Great Guns and Little Fishes, you dumb profanity profanity!" thundered the Great Man. "Look at that profanity profanity dispatch you just released!"

Picking up the crumpled dispatch blank from the deck, MacGiUicuddy read: "COMFIFTEEN FROM COMSPERON X ETA SIXTEEN HUNDRED TODAY X PLEASE HAVE ADMIRALS WOMAN ON DOCK" MacGiUicuddy was a Good Flag Lieutenant. Gently absorbing the Admiral's wrath, he finaUy made good his escape from the cabin, murmuring encouraging words about "fixing everything up."

The ponderous wheels of progress again roUed in the Communications Department. The final scene between the Admiral and MacGiUicuddy, however, is far too painful to record here. But on a little farm in Southern CaUfornia lives a retired Lieutenant, eking out his retired pay by raising avocados and eggplants.

And, neatly framed (though slightly crumpled, and badly faded by the years), on the wall of MacGiUicuddy's living room, is a mute testimony to the abrupt termination of his naval career. It reads: "COMnFTEEN FROM COMSPERON X REFER MY LAST MESSAGE X PLEASE INSERT WASHER BETWEEN ADMIRAL AND WOMAN." —D. S. Edwards, Jr..

The Sturgeon, one of the first subs to get into acrion in Japanese waters, was suddenly attacked one night by an aimed enemy merchantman for whidi the sub had surfaced to invesrigate.

The aim of the Jap gunners, fortunately, was poor. One sheU went completdy overhead while another missed the conning tower as the sub made a hasty descent.

"Oh no," said the first gob. "In the Army the enemy shoots at you, but in the Navy they just shoots at your ship."

But Lt. X, counsel for Lt. Comdr. B, was alert.

He immediately demanded that the president of the court of inquiry relinquish, temporarUy, his position on the board and take the stand as a wimess. This coidd not be refused. Comdr.

'Yes, I am."

"Have you ever taken your ship into Cattaro Bay?"

"Yes, I have, several times."

"Did you bring her out?"

"Yes." "Did you take a pilot?"

—Capt. Richard S. Field, USN-ret.

During die early days of World War II, Admiral Sir Alexander Cunningham was surveying the anchorage from his flagship in Alexandria one beautiful morning, when a shiny new destroyer entered the harbor at breakneck speed.

Making an "Admiral's Sweep" around the assembled fleet, she rendered smart honors to the flagship, and then made a beautiful landing on the quarterdeck of the ship she was suppossed to moor alongside. Boats were splintered, fenders carried away, metal screeched, boatswains' mates cussed, and a thorough mess resulted.

In the midst of the excitement, the young skipper of the destroyer—tearing his hair out by the handful, received the foUowing:— "MSG CAPTAIN X GOOD X CUNNINGHAM" That was the payoff. The bewildered skipper dashed below—caUed away his gig, and put on his Number One whites.

for a trip to the flagship, to explain how litde things like that can happen to the smartest ship.

Just as he was about to shove off, a signalman arrived at the gangway with another message from the Flag. FuUy expecting the Axe, the harried officer read:— "MSG CAPTAIN X REFER MY LAST MSG X PLEASE INSERT AFTER GOOD COMMA QUOTE GOD UNQUOTE X CUNNINGHAM" ' Nobody has located the skipper since.

—0. S. Edwards, Cdr., USN. His name was Elmer, and he was skipper of one of the old flush deck four stackers on the Asiatic Station in the early 1920's when the destroyer squadron was new to the Station. Command was also new to Elmer. But let's not go into that, now. It wiU become apparent as we go along. He was a thorough-going ladies' man—fairly taU, thin and dark and he wore the inevitable bun-duster on his upper lip. He possessed that was caUed a remarkably fine tenor voice and he was a willing victim whenever any of the ladies' organizations wanted a litde vocal solace at their gatherings.

rarest occasions and when there seemed no means of escaping it. But, as far as the squadron, and his own ship, were concerned his only real fault lay in the fact that, although he had worked hard at it, he had never learned to become a regular guyNow Ekner had noticed that, on the infrequent occasions when he had caUed on his classmates commanding other desttoyers, he had usuaUy been offered a dram or two of spirits in the quiet sancmary of the skipper's cabin, and it began to bother him a htde that he was not himself equipped to return the compliment. He began to think that perhaps he was talked about by the rest of the Captains for this omission of proper hospitality. So he finaUy bought a quart of Scotch and furtively brought it aboard late at night in a shoe box. The next question was where to stow the stuff so that there was no likelihood of its being found by the cabin boy. His glance finally feU on his golf sticks, and he immediately decided that it was a perfect hiding place. He removed the quart from its box and lowered it gendy into the golf bag. Being now in a posirion to pour when he next had a trusted visitor aboard, he prompdy dismissed the whole matter from his mind.

Several days later, whde drinking a short lemonade at the Nineteenth Hole foUowing a round over what passed for a golf course in the Manila of those days, he happened to see some other officers admiring a set of dubs which had been rendered seagoing by the addition of a bit of the boatswain's art in the form of mrks heads at the top and bottom of the handle leathers. Iliis, namraUy, appealed immensely to Elmer's esthetic sense. Of course it woiUd have been much better if the idea could have originated with him. But after aU, this was an idea which a man needn't be ashamed to copy.

So, no sooner did he get aboard than he sent post haste for his leading boatswain's mate, explained carefuUy what he was expected to do and gave him the bag fuU of clubs.

Some half hour later, a belated thought gained access to Elmer's mind.

Whar about that quart of liquor? How could it be retrieved quietly at this stage? He rang for a messenger to go for the boatswain's mate, and immediately gave up this idea. If he had already found the liquor, the story would soon be aU over the ship, and if Elmer tried to retrieve it, he would be known as the owner without any doubt. Otherwise,— weU, maybe some gremlin put it there.

He finally decided that the best course of action would be no action at all. He began to wish that he hadn't expressed himself so strongly on the subject of Hquor abord ship when he gave a private lecmre to his officers after relieving his predecessor.

12

A few days later the boatswain's mate came to the cabin with his handiwork.

Elmer conttoUed his emotions as best he could and tried to be calm and leisurely as he examined the mrks heads and complimented the boatswain's mate on his craft. But as soon as he was left alone, he plunged his haand eagerly into die bag,—Ah! It was stiU there! He drew ir out. The botde was empt)', the cork had been replaced and there was a nicely executed turks head around the neck!

That boatsw'ain's mate doubdess has the honor of being the only bluejacket in the Navy who managed to acquire a quiet brannigan aboard ship, in perfect safety, and stticdy at the expense of the Old Man. Wm. H. Galbraith, Capt. USN-Ret. It was a quiet smnmer Sunday afternoon several years ago, and as a young lieutenant, I had the day's duty in the Submarine S-22. The submarine was alongside the quay waU in PhUadelphia Navy Yard and was open to visitors. Relaxed in a deck chair, I was enjoying comparative peace when my reverie was interrupted by a quesrion: "Young man, if this is a submarine, how does it happen that you have aU those holes in the deck?" I looked up at the inquirer, a weU dressed lady long passed middle age, and jumped to my feet. In my most polite manner, I carefuUy explained that the submarine had a watertight pressure huU on which was buUt a non-watenight superstrucmre to give it a deck and a ship shape. The holes were for lightening the strucmre and also to aUow water to drain off. She seemed so interested that I offered to take her through the ship. We went into each compartment and she asked many pertinent questions until I finaUy escorted her over the after gangway. She thanked me for my counesy and then, as she was about to leave, shook her finger at me and said in a very confidential tone, "Young man, you can't fool me. That boat doesn't reaUy go under water,—not with aU those holes in the deck!" / . C. Lester, Captain USN.

One of our submarines attacked a Jap formation and then had to submerge and take refuge from a heavy depth bomb attack. Things inside the sub looked and sounded pretty bad with loud explosions going off aU around. As they got closer and more serious the captain began to feel grim but he noticed a mess attendant laughing with abandon. "What the heU's the matter with you?" the skipper said.

The Negro boy replied with a chuckle.

ANY a story has been told in NaM val Aviarion about many a DUbert—the pilot who just naturaUy did everything wrong. His type of anrics are weU iUusttated in this story about a certain TBF pUot who was ttaining at ± e Marine Corps Air Station in Santa, Barbara, Calif.

This pUot was the leader of a 12-plane flight of torpedo planes on a night practice mission. After completing three hours in drills he turned his flight toward home, circled the field and asked permission to land. Permission was granted and he made his approach through the darkness to the runway where a signal officer was ready to wave him onto the runway.

So intent was the pUot upon his approach that he forgot to put down his wheels. The signal officer quickly discovered this and waved him off by shooting a Very pistol into the air. As he took the waveoff, the pdot opened up on the microphone, "Don't forget to put yoiur wheels down," he instructed his ffight.

"Ever}'one check and doublecheck his wheels."

Then as each of the flight's 11 planes swung in to land he'd remind them again.

"Put your wheels down," he'd shout over the radio. "Be sure they're down." Then —prize DUbert to the end—he foUowed the flight's last plane into the cirde and came in to land—with his own wheels StiU up.

"Under the provisions of the proposed biU, any retired officer could accept employment in the Veterans Administration and receive his retired pay and the pay of his civilian position, except as provided by section 212 of the act of June 30, 1932, as amended, without affecting his stams as a retired officer."

The laws affecting employment of retired officers in civilian positions of the Government are section 2 of the Act of July 31, 1894; secrion 6 of the Act of May 10, 1916; and section 212 of die Act of June 30. 1932. Secrion 2 of the Act of July 31,1894, reads: "No person who holds an office the salan' or annual compensation attached to which amounts to the sum of $2.500 shall be appointed to or hold any other office to which compensation is attached unless specially authorized thereto by law; but this shaU not apply to retired officers of the Army, Na\7, Marine Corps or Coast Guard whenever the President shaU appoint them to office by and with

the consent of the Senate. Retired enlisted men of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard retired for any cause and retired officers who have been retired for injuries received in batde or for injuries or incapacity incurred in line of duty shaU not, within the meaning of this section, be construed to hold or to have held an office during such retirement."

Secrion 6 of the Act of May 10, 1916, reads: "Unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, no money appropriated by any A a shall be avadable for payment to any person receiving more than one salary when the combined amount of said salaries exceeds the sum of $2,000 per annum. Section 58 of this tide shaU not apply to retired officers or enlisted men Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, or of the Organized MUitia and Naval Militia in the several States, Territories and the Disttict of Columbia."

Seaion 212 of the Act of June 30, 1932, reads: "(a) After June 30, 1932, no person holding a civilian office or position, appointive or eleaive, under the United States Government or the municipal government of the Disttict of Columbia or under any corporation, the majority of the stock of which is owned by the United States, shaU be entided, during the period of such incumbency, to retired pay from the United States for or on account of services as a commissioned officer in any of the services mentioned in tide 37, at a rate in excess of an amount which when combined with the annual rate of compensation from such civilian office or position, makes the total rate from both sources more than $3,000; and when the retired pay amounts to or exceeds the rate of $3,000 per annum, such person shaU be entitled to the pay of the civilian office or position of the retired pay, whichever he may elect. "(b) This section shaU not apply to any person, whose retired pay, plus civihan pay, amounts to less than $3,000: Provided, That this section shall not apply to regular or emergency commissioned officers retired for disability incurred in combat with an enemy of the United States or for disabilities resulting from an explosion of an instrumentality of war in line of duty during an enlistment or employment as provided in Veterans Regulation Numbered 1 ( a ) , part I, paragraph I." The proposed legislation (the August 10, 1946, law), said General Bradley, will remove the restriction on appointment to positions in the Veterans Administration as to certain retired officers not exempt from the provisions of section 2 of'the Act of July 31, 1894, but the provisions of section 212 of the Act of June 30, 1932, would apply to perNOVEMBER,

sons not exempt therefrom, appointed as a result of the proposed legislation, so as to prohibit receipt of a combined amount of retired pay and civilian pay in excess of a rate of $3,000 per year, while permitting such persons to receive either the full amount of their retired pay or the full amount of their civilian pay if the retired pay amounts to or exceeds the rate of $3,000 per year.

"It wiU be noted," said General Bradley, "that under the Act of July 31, 1894, certain officers retired for disability are exempt from the restrictions therein contained. The considerations which justify exemption in the case of those retired for disability would appear to justify the proposed legislation to exempt other retired officers."

Inquiries by your correspondent regarding this Veterans' Administration program in one case brought no response and in others varying responses. It seemed as though VA officials were not desirous of publicizing the fact that retired officers can now be employed. That is why we went to the Capitol and had informed persons dig up the law on all Government employment.

Now, theoreticaUy at least, retired officers can request consideration for any number of Veterans' Administration jobs.

The VA has 1500 job classifications, induding many professions. Information on available jobs can be obtained by writing Washington or contacting officials of a VA field office.

W e are advised, however, that urdess a retired officer can obtain a job paying pretty good money, say from $5,000 to $10,000, he can get more money, including his retirement pay, in private employment. If he does accept a Government job, he can be assured of a continuance of fuU officer retirement pay when he quits it.

Disability Pay On August 8 President Truman signed H. R. 3908 (now Public Law 659), a biU providing increased pensions to members of the Regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard who become disabled by reason of their service therein during other than a period of war. This law increases peacetime disability payments from 75 per cent to 90 per cent of payments for wartime disability. Before these payments were increased to 75 percent of wartime disability payments, they were 40 per cent of such payments.

The increase was approved by Congress to help compensate for increases in the cost of living and to make mihtary service more attractive. The Army and the Veterans' Administration protested the increase; later the Army changed its mind and favored it. The Navy said it was a matter for Congress to decide.

retired for disability during peacetime.

There is nothing in the law or reports on the bill to show that it could not be applied to the case of an officer. But in the great majority of cases of peacetime disability of officers, the officers draw more money through retirement pay.

Here is what John C. Williamson, assistant legislative representative of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, said of the bid: "Congress must gear its efforts to making service life as a career a proper incentive to the youth of the Nation. One of the methods is increased pay, another is improving the court-martial system, a third, an analysis of the many unjustified distinctions between enlisted men and officers. With these must necessarily be considered a revision of the peacetime disability compensation rates."

Mr. Williamson discusses the case of a chief petty officer who after 13 years in the Navy was discharged with a ten per cent disability.

"Had he been an ensign or a warrant officer," Williamson said, "he would have been retired on three-fourths of his pay and he would receive that amount for the remainder of his life. But this chief petty officer now receives $11.50 per month."

Mr. WiUiamson spoke of a blind ensign receiving three-fourths of his pay.

But this bill provides for disability payments in case of blindness larger than the ensign would receive.

Paragraph II (1) of the law reads: "If the disabled person has suffered loss of use of both hands, or both feet, or of one hand and one foot, or is blind in both eyes, with 5/200 visual acuity or less, or is permanently bedridden or so helpless as to be in need of regular aid and attendance, the monthly pension shall be $180."

Paragraph II (m) reads: "If the disabled person has suffered the loss of use of two extremities at a level, or with complications, preventing namral elbow or knee action with prosthesis in place, or has suffered blindness in both eyes, rendering him so helpless as to be in need of regular aid and attendance, the monthly pension shaU be $211.50." The anatomical loss of both eyes pays $238.50. Total deafness and total blindness pay $270.

The largest payment is $270.

It is possible for young officers, if badly disabled, to get more remuneration from this law than from retirement benefits.

Reserve Disability Law

On August 7 President Truman signed a billâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;H. R. 7039, now Public Law 641 â&#x20AC;&#x201D;extending the disability benefits of section 304 of the Naval Reserve Act so as to cover persons engaged in Naval ReW e have had inquiries as to whether serve training during the period before or not this law applies to regular officers the formal termination of the present war.

Prior to enactment of this law, there was a gap in the laws providing for compensarion of members of the Naval Reserve for physical injury or death arising out of the performance of duty. The result was that in times of war, members of the Naval Reserve ordered to dutyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;acrive, ttaining or otherwiseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for 30 days or less, were not enrided to any compensation for injury. There were a number of cases of service<onneaed deaths or injuries among naval aviators which feU into this category.

Tlie Naval Reserve A a of 1938 provides that Reserves who suffer disabiUty or who die in line of duty are enrided to benefits presaibed by law for civd employees of the United States. The A a of August 27, 1940, provides for pensions, compensation, retiremenr pay and hospital benefits for officers of the Navy and Marine Corps caUed to duty^ for periods in excess of thirty days. This new law provides the same benefits for officers caUed to duty for periods of 30 days or less, and subsequendy disabled or kiUed. Service Unification Obviously fearing that the new Congress might not be very receprive to plans for service unification. President Truman and Senator Elbert Thomas (Demoaat, Utah) and chairman of the old Senate Military Affairs Committee, are trj-ing to accompUsh as much unification as possible by other means. Senator Thomas has urged the President to create the proposed "Coundl of National Defense" and a proposed "National Securit)' Resources Board" by executive order, which organizations were proposed in the original legislation on the subject.

Senator Thomas recendy chaUenged the authority of the Senate Naval Affairs Commirtee even to consider such legislatioa The Naval Affairs Committee, the Utah Senator said, has no righr to consider mihtary policy.

"The Naval Affairs Committee has no jurisdiction over military poUcy," Senaror Thomas said. "It is stticdy a committee to handle matters concerning only the miming of the Navy Department."

He belitded suggestions that the Naval Affairs Committee stymied the biU in July and August, claiming that he "took" the biU to the committee as a courtesy and at the time it was too late, anyway, for Senate action. He said he would reinttoduce the biU during the firsr week of the new Congress, and that it would not be necessary for his Military Affairs Committee to hold further hearings.

If the Senator does that, he wiU be trying to puU a fast one. The 80th Congress wiU be entirely new, and any bills inttoduced must be considered as new, since bills which did not get out of the old Congress are very, very dead. New biUs must be referred to committees. And the 14

Senate Military Affairs Committee wiU be new. The law enaaed during the last session to reorganize Congress provides that the Mihtary Affairs Committee shaU be composed of members of the Naval and Military Affairs Committees. And there is litde likelihood of Senator Thomas heading this new committee. In fact. Senator Walsh (Demoaat, Massachusetts) is in line for the chairmanship under seniority rules, and if he is reeleaed to Congress has the best chance of becoming chairman.

Vanished Ships

or shoal were ever found. Possibly some of the adventure story writers came near the truth. Perhaps, some, at least, of die LEVANT'S survivors did Hve out their Hves on some unchaned Pacific islet as the B O U N T Y mutineers spent their days on Pitcairn Island.

For 49 years not anodier ship vanished from our Navy. Then on 26 November 1909, two whaleboats from the USS MARIETTA, manned by five men each were permitted to engage in a race. During their absence the wind shifted and blew quite a gale. When at dark they did not return the MARIETTA put to sea in search for them. One boat was found to have landed 12 mUes south of Point Limon on the Centtal American coast.

She was then standing for the Spanish Main. The ADONIS was carrying as passengers from Rio Janeiro two American naval officers, who had been taken prisoner at Valparaiso, Chile, when their ship, the USS ESSEX, was capmred there by the Brirish.

These officers were Master's Mate James Lyman and Lieutenant Stephen Decatur McKnight. These rwo men ttansferred themselves and their belongings to the W A S P and the two ships went their separate ways. N o Hving person, as far as is certainly known, ever saw or heard of the W A S P after her parring with the

search from Poinr Limon to Colon but no signs of the missing men were ever fc-und. Some time later some fishermen at Cristobal found a whaleboat in perfect order with the oars in place. It was thought possible that this could have been the missing boat. But a year later the CompttoUer decided that there was no absolute proof that the men were dead. They might have been rescued or they might have joined some band of revolurionists in Centtal America.

tales of adventure have been MANY written around the loss of the sloop of war LEVANT buUt in New York in 1837 and not to be confused with the LEVANT capmred by the CONSTITUTION

in the War of 1812 and subsequendy recaptured. The LEVANT is known intimately to lovers of good Hterature the world over as the ship on which Edward Everett Hale placed his unhappy hero, PhiHp Nolan, in his heart-warming tale, "The Man Without a Country." The LEVANT left HUo, bound for Panama, 18 September I860, never again to be heard of. When she was reported "overdue" the USS W Y O M I N G and SARANAC were sent in search of her bur found no ttace of her. On 30 June 1861, Congress declared the ship and her a e w to be lost.

Early Pacific voyagers had ar different times reported the existence of an uncharted island on the route that the LEVANT'S skipper. Commander Hunt, indicated he would use. As late as 1904,44 years after her disappearance the Navy sent the USS TACOMA in search of this doubtful island and any ttace of the LEVANT'S crew. But no signs of even a reef

could be justified out of the aew's Welfare and Reaeation Fund, when the scooter was used stticdy for the welfare and reaeation of the Captain alone. But it was. And when the machine was finally ddivered on board, the Captain made it the exdusive responsibUity of the machine shop gang.

"I want that scooter kept in A-1 shape at aU times," said the Captain. "Lash it down securely at sea, and turn the motor over regularly to keep it from freezing up. Keep any dents sttaightened out, and keep it painted. And above all, I want that scooter to hit the dock the moment the brow goes over."

And as he walked away, he turned around and added: "If at any time that scooter is late getting over, or doesn't start when it gets there, the Engineering Officer and the machine shop gang can forget about seeing any liberty in that port."

Q

ELL, from that day forward, that fool scooter took more time than the turbines. Anson and Junt and Roberts were always tinkering away at it when we were at sea. And coming into port, the same three had to change into the uniform of the day—the only members of the black gang who did so, naturaUy—and form a kind of special Spedal Sea Detad to wresde with the scooter.

Once the infernal machine was on the dock, they would wait anxiously until the Captain had left the ship, sttaddled his monsttosity, and stamped down on the starter. If die motor sputtered into Hfe immediatdy, they breathed a sigh of relief. If it didn't, they galvanized into instantaneous action, rushing over the side with wrenches and screwdrivers in hand, protesting that "it worked just an hour ago, Cap'n."

The worst headache of aU was getting the scooter ashore when we anchored out, instead of tying up alongside a dock. But get it ashore, they had to! So the procedure was as foUows: The First Division, a gang of deck apes, woidd swing the boat out as part of their special sea detaU. hs soon as the ship was about anchored, they would lower it away, into the water.

MeanwhUe, the machine shop gang had wheeled their charge out onto the weather deck. Using the same tackle, the First Division would hoist and swing over the scooter, and lower it into the waiting boat—a dangerous and deUcate job, since the scooter weighed several hundred pounds and The D. was generaUy roUing somewhat. FinaUy, along with the Guard MaU P.O. and the MaU Orderly, a detail of machine shop men and deck apes rode over in the boat on its first ttip, to get the scooter from the boat to the dock, where it awaited the Captain's pleasure.

the same setting—the London of the 1870's—to teU a tale of the underworld.

Here you wiU meet Lettie Heape, a girl of superior inteUigence and latent beauty, who learned the sordid lessons which enabled her to influence the lives of men.

And Doc Limey, the writer of "red-hot novelettes." Then there are Ernest Boidton and Frederick WiUiam Park, the two young men with a liking for theatticals and an ability to play female parts with zest and talent.

Mr. Sadleir has written an absorbing and starding novel about the lesserknown facet of Victorian London.

TITUS G R O A N ,

TITUS G R O A N is a strange Jabber-

wockian fantasy that is more an endeavor to fit poetry into a prose medium than anything else. The strong appeal to emotion and endeavor to establish a consistent, dominant mood is evidenced through the frequent repetition of words heavy in connotation. Surprisingly enough, a story manages to survive these encumbrances; a story that wiU be read more to find out what happens next than for any appreciation of motive. Briefly, it concerns the activities of the inhabitants of Gormenghast, a sprawled heap of ruined masonry somewhere in England at an even more indefinite time.

Here in a world set off by itself, the Earl of Gormenghast, his family and their household retainers hold forth. Outside the walls live the despairing villagers, their very souls in bondage to the decaying house of Gormenghast.

TITUS G R O A N probably contains more descriptive adjectives than any other work comparable in length. The reader who is wiUing to wade through these in an attempt to see what makes a strange assortment of characters tick will find his efforts well rewarded for a time.

ALUMNI HOUSE NEWS

OITED STATES MM ACADEMY AlUMII ASSOCIATIOI

New Executive Director Appointed The seven-year service of Harry R. England, of Annapolis, as secretarytreasurer and executive director of the U. S. Naval Academy Alumni Association is scheduled to terminate with the end of the year.

This was revealed by announcement of the appointment by the board of trustees of the 60-year-old Alumni Association of Navy Capt. C. E. Coney, now on active duty in Washington, to replace Mr. England next January 1. The action was taken at a regular meeting of the trustees held at the Army and Na\'y Club in Washington.

Mr. England, a graduate of the Naval Academy class of 1927, was caUed to direa the work of the Academy Alumni Association in 1939.

Comdr. Edwin F. Cochran, USN (ret.), then secretary-treasurer for the Alumni, was called to active duty in the Navy, and Mr. England, whose partial deafness caused him to be rejeaed from re-entering the Navy after war was declared, was requested by the trustees to remain as the association's execurive director.

Under his guidance, the Alumni publication. SHIPMATE, became a monthly favorite of naval officers on duty all over the world.

Mr. England also directed the campaign which brought to fruition a long-time dream of Naval Alumni; the establishment in Annapolis of an Alumni House.

Another of the activities of the Association under Mr. England's direction was the creation, starting last year, of an Educational Foundation, whose purposes include "the education of worthv vo'ine rren in the art of Naval and Military science."

Despite the tremendous burden of increased records and publications during the war years, and the expansion of the association from a basement office in the Naval Museum building to its own home, a recent article in SHIPMATE shows the net worth of the association now exceeds SlOOOCO. Captain Conev will retire from the Navy on December 1.

Mr. Enpl?nd said the action of Tmstees c?me as a total surprise to him. and his fumre plans are unknown.

TF for no other reason, the class of '48A •*• will be long remembered by the executive department as having turned in the most unusual fraps in a long time. Lee doesn't profess to know the reason for the recent epidemic of these bizarre reports. Maybe being a bunch of savvies, the first class devoted their evening study hours to meditating on how to enliven the form 1. Or, maybe the boys of the big "A" have grown just a bit weary of the customary "I Piddle Diddles" and "bedding not properly turned back's." At any rate, the bulletin boards are providing more than their share of good reading material. Witness the following.

"Unmilitary Conduct. This midshipman has repeatedly made cat calls and other disparaging noises whenever the reporting midshipman has left the mess hall. It is obvious from these noises that the offending midshipman is taking this means for showing his dislike for the reporting midshipman."

Even BiU the goat who is usually content just to sit and munch on the brickwork in the fourth wing court has caused dissention. The following was turned in on a plebe by, of all people, a second dassman.

"Improper Conduct. This midshipman was observed feeding Bill X, the Naval Academy mascot, graph paper, by means of a string hung from this midshipman's vnndow in the fourth wing of Bancroft Hall."

We have to go back to summer cruise for this one. It was turned in on a pair of youngsters.

"Improper conduct. On the last day of cruise on board the U.S.S. Washington, several 1/c midshipmen, including myself, were sitting in the after navigation workroom. Some were reading, some playing bridge. Midshipman * * * was a member of a group engaged in hosing and scrubbing down the main deck immediately outside the navigation workroom. Without warning, Midshipman * * * diverted a stream of water into the workroom for a period of 10 to IS seconds. A chrono-meter on one of the tables was open but undamaged; several decks of cards were ruined. When questioned about his conduct, Midshipman * * * declared that the affair was a joke on the first class which he thought was appropriate on the last day of cruise."

The second frap followed the first on the same form 2.

"Improper Conduct.

Midshipman aided Midshipman * * * *.

When the first class who had been in the navigation workroom got out on deck to find out who was responsible for the incident, Midshipman

turned the hose on them and forced them to take cover."

This is a bit anti-climacric, but it suffices to report that both conduct reports were cancelled by a batt officer who perhaps remembered events of his last day of youngster cruise.

Just when you think the ultimate in plebe yarns has been spun, along comes another one which surpasses anything that has been related. Our tale deals with a plebe mate who entered the fourth class just prior to its accession into the Brigade. He had never stood a watch during Plebe summer and a few weeks after the commencement of ac-year he stood his first tour of duty as a mate. Astoundingly enough all went off in 4.0 fashion until about 2230 when the occupants of the first deck were blown out of their sacks by a lusty, "The watch has been piped down on the first deck."

After everyone had been thoroughly awakened, the mate was informed in none too gende a manner that the passing of the word was quite unnecessary.

Speaking of the Brigade in a state of somnolence, reminds Lee of what transpired this very morning. The AMCMO swears it was a case of gremlins, but at any rate the bells sounded at 0400. Outside it was black as an Ohdee's heart. Maybe a few of the boys thought it was strange, but most midshipmen have been around the banks of the Severn far too long to question anything that bears the taint of officiality. Doors were thrown open while men, half consdous, waited to report to the reveille inspeaor. After a few moments transpired and no inspector made the rounds, most of the brigade finally woke up to the fact that it was early, even for midshipmen.

One plebe, though, lounged in his doorway for twenty-five minutes, until he dedded maybe he just thought he had heard a bell.

It seems a first dassman met a perfect 4.0 drag in New York while on cruise this summer. Desiring to see her again, he carried on a steady correspondence and met her after the Duke game. The old saw about "Familiarity breeds contempt" was completely out of line on this particular occasion, and the lad thought he had the ideal semp for a topnotch dragging season.

That is, it looked like a perfect arrangement until the end of the week when he received a rather rude awakening. It came in the form of a short note warning said first classman to stop seeing the girl. "If he persisted in dating her, the matter would be promptly referred to his commanding officer."

The letter bore the signature of her "Husband."

There is no specific regulation which deals with the punishment assigned those midshipmen who persist in galavanting around Tecumseh Court with other men's wives, but nevertheless the midshipman had no desire to

become a part of Mary Hayworth's files. He tried in every way to contact the girl and cancel their next date, but was unable to do so.

Came the weekend and though he momentarily expected to become the target of some frenzied husband's .32, the son of the Severn mustered enough courage to tell the girl what had transpired. She denied all and surmised that someone was just playing a practical joke.

Lee's next anecdote also has for its setting Lil Ole New York. A first and second classman were taking in the sights. The pride of •48A was new to the big dty and the second classman being a habitue of the metropolis, had taken the former in tow and was pointing out some of the wonders of the world's largest village.

Despite repeated warnings from his guide not to display his ignorance of metropolitan affairs, the first dassman continued to perform like the proverbial bumpkin on a spree, by gawking at the Fifth Avenue double decker busses whizzing by, and staring wide-eyed at the towering buildings. The second dassman was becoming no end embarrassed by antics of his companion and finally was unable to stand the amused expressions of the passers-by.

He ambled out into the middle of the street and attempted to hail a taxi.

The rains came and the taxis went. The second dassman returned to his buddy on the curb where he found him engaged in a conversation with a typical mid-town bum.

The uninitiated "A" man mrned to his pal and questioned innocently, "Hey Dave, what do I do now?" Dave stifled a grin, and remrned to the task of hailing a taxi. When he again turned around a moment later to see how the sorely pressed first classman was getting along, he was amazed to note that a large throng had •gathered around the midshipman and the bum. For the next ten minutes, the pride of Bancroft entertained even this blase group of New Yorkers by screaming at the bewildered street arab that ". . . he had a lot of guts asking HIM for two bits." While the pan-handler stood transfixed, goggle-eyed, mouth open in utter amazement, the first classman raved on about a midshipman's meager pay, the rising costs of living in Bancroft Hall, all the pay raise boosts that never induded him. Yes, he had his nerve to ask a navy man for a quarter when he probably hauled in more in a single week of mooching than a midshipman made i.T an entire month.

The crowd ate it up. However, they really went wild when the pay off was attained. A roar was heard all over lower Manhattan as the bum reached in his pocket, pulled out a half-dollar and thrust it into the first classman's hand, muttering apologetically, "Here youse are pal. You sure need this worse than me."

Back to the plebes for a quickie. It happened with the advent of ac-year. A rather pathetic looking individual wandered down to a batt office and when queried as to what his littie heart desired he answered that he would like to know where he could "Draw a first classman."

Lee couldn't conclude a column without a word about the Ghost. He hasn't been getting the notoriety he received when he first put in his appearance, if one is able to use "appearance." This doesn't mean that he has slacked off any. It's probably just a case of the midshipmen getting used to him. Although Lee is forced to admit that he doubts

"SHORESIDE BREEZES" hy PAUL R. SCHRATZ Things have been relatively quiet around here lately. Between informal gatherings and jaunts for football games, there haven't been many oppormnities to arrange any real "organized athletics". W e return to the social swim at 2030 on 9 November, however, when the Annap"lis and Washington contingent combine efforts at a get-together at the Naval G u n Factory Officers' Club. Ebby BELL and Bob STARTZELL are making the arrangements, and if any of ycu on the outside can make it, come and you're more than welcome.

The questionnaires for the class booklet are ready for mailing and should be received just about the time this article makes your doorstep. Vic B O A T W R I G H T has been broached to take ever as editor, and present indications are that the job will be his. I make this statement reservedly, however, 'cause "Boats" acquired a brand new bride last month, and any commitments he may have made are probably subject to revision without reference to his publishers.

"Boats" was married 29 September in San Francisco, by the wav, with Foo ' V A N N O Y , Ira H A R D M A N , Gene H E N R Y , and Buddy

M O O R E as ushers. H e hasn't put out much dope on the bride, but the Boatwrights are getting a special invitation to the coming party, at which time he is expected to tell all.

Van U T G O F F and Miss M'iriam SCOTT of Washington, D . C , announced plans on 14 October 1946 for a forthcoming wedding. The ceremony will take place in late November—• and it will then be about time for the class statistician to extend his right hand and count the remaining bachelors among us.

Bill SEED dropped in for a day last month.

Bill is now a filthy capitalist in Wichita, Kansas, and has cordially extended the welcome mat to any of us passing through.

Jiggs LARGESS spent a few days of his leave in town refreshing old acquaintances, and Frank RADEL dropped in en route to shore duty out in the Islands.

R i p K L I N E , aide to Admiral Towers, was in town on business, and Frank RALSTON, Raspy R A W S O N , Bob T R U A X , and Jack Y O U N G reported in for duty.

MacGregor KILPATRICK is going before the Retiring Board next month after a long fight to get his tummy back in shape.

And that about winds me up for this month.

D o n ' t forget the class social with the wives and sweethearts (if they're on speaking terms) at the Gun Factory, 2030 on 9 November, or the next luncheon at 1200 on 13 November at the Country Club.

W i t h the Army footballers winning all their games and the Navy eleven building character, attention has been pretty well centered on following the fortunes of the teams these days to the exclusion of most other pursuits.

W e in Washington, however, found time to put together a social evening at the Hamilton Hotel on Saturday, 9 November, with a good percentage of the Annapolis and Washington constituents in attendence. For the majority of us, it was probably the first return to the scene of the roaring pre-Christmas brawls which were part and parcel of the extra-curricular Nav Acad education of many of us. Though thoughts probably wandered to the "good old days" of the past, the parry itself was a model for sociability and congeniality. The entertainment committee, aided by the Bobby GILLETTEs and Neal A L M G R E N s deserve a lot of praise for engineering the mechanics of the decorations and incidentals.

In the opinion of all present, it was an extremely pleasant evening. The high spot of the party, of course, was the drawing for the "Pot o' (iold" door prize. Because of the Presi-

Class of 1970 potentials have been admitted to the homes of the Fred CLARKES on the West Coast, the MCALLISTERS in Annapolis and the FAHYS in Washington during the past month. ( W h a t ! N o girls?)

N e w arrivals in D . C. for duty are Mike J O H N S O N , Dick PHILLIPS, Tom WESCHLER, T o m R U D D E N , Gene FAIRFAX and Charley CASSEL. And closing for this month, the entire 150 of us present in Washington and Annapolis extend to the rest of the class our most sincere wishes for the happiest holiday season we've had for many years, and even brighter wishes for the future.

Letter to the Class of 1941 Dear Classmates: I would like to place before you a report concerning the status of "CLASSMATE 1941".

First, many thanks to those members of the class who sent in their questionnaires—and especially to those who took the time to send me a letter about the magazines. I appreciated them all and they were a big help in trying to formulate some plans for the future.

I am now located in Washington (Intelligence P.G. School). My address is: 3903 Jocelyn St., N.W., Washington, D.C. Joe Taussig is also here now going to Law P.G. School. His new address is: Apt 115, 4801 Connecticut Ave., N.W., 'Washington, D. C. I called Joe tonight and he gave me these figures on the finances of your class magazine: (as of November 20, 1946)

leOO 20th s t r e e t , X . W . Washingtoai 9, D . C.

(3) There probably would be less money contributed next year.

Despite the above, I still feel that a periodic keeping in touch with your classmates by some means or other has merit. I am therefore going ahead with a project to put out "CLASSMATE '41" every five years. Meanwhile, let's try to keep on with Sandy Landreth's idea of periodic "ALFORTY-ONE's". Sandy is back from Bikini now and his new address is: NROTC Unit University of Nebraska, or 2811 S. 24th St., Lincoln Nebraska. Even if the class should desire a yearly continuation of the magazine, I'm afraid that I would be unable to help this year (those of you who have SURVIVING MEMBERS OF CLASS 354 smdied at P. G. School know what I mean).

COST OF "CLASSMATE ' 4 1 " $691.25 Those of you who contributed for next year CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED . . .$321.00 may get your money back by writing to Joe, or we will apply it to the 1951 issue.

NUMBER OF CLASSMATES WHO CONTRIBUTED 157 I would next like to give you a report on (Some sent in more than $2) the question of a Class Memorial for those DEFICIT $370.25 classmates killed in the past war. Here again, (paid out of Class Funds) there were not enough quesdonnaires received NUMBER OF CLASSMATES WHO to get a majority opinion. But even among DID NOT CONTRIBUTE 197 those received, there was no definite majority of ideas. Surprisingly enough, there are a lot Although almost all of the questionnaires of classmates that feel thaat any type of mereceived (some 160) indicated endorsement morial is a shallow expression and therefore of the idea of continuing on with yearly pub- advocate none. The best suggestion we have lication of "CLASSMATE '41", the overall is to install a simple drinking fountain somelack of questionnaires and the above figures where on the Academy grounds with an apshow: propriate plaque mounted on it. Since those (1) There is not enough general interest classmates now stationed at Annapolis are in in the class in keeping on with the magazine a better position to carry the ball, I would suggest they form a committee to look into this yearly.

him his cut of the dough that he received when he sold E)ake's addresses to the boys on his ship.

DEL VECCHIO—Last May when I was visiting Benny at Catlin, I saw a huge nose come out of a room dosely followed by "Banana" Tony. Both Benny and Tony were trying to find jobs to take up their spare time, and I had to drive them all over Honolulu looking for a place that turned out to be something like Skunk Works where they were advertising for inside men. Tony remrned to the DULUTH and expects to return from China soon.

DOWNEN—^Bobby is reported by a marine lieutenant in Yokosuka to be a dvilian. How about a confirmation, Roundy? What are you doing?

ENGEL—Yours truly just returned from Bikini after a not so nice three months. The bomb blasts were very impressive to see, but it was hot and there wasn't much for liberty.

The CONYNGHAM was the only surface combatant target ship to steam back, and it is srill radioactive, so we are very unwelcome here. We are hoping to go on to Frisco, but no dope yet. With the newcomer expected within ten days, I'm not very happy here. I've come to the condusion that sea duty is for single men.

FARLEY—After the operation up in Greenland, the MIDWAY went to Cuba. Bob just missed Hebe in good old Trinidad. Bob is now at Troy, N. Y. in PG Civil Engineering. (See you there next alnav).

FISHER—Jimmy has joined the ranks. It is reported that he got a 15 day leave when the PERKINS hit Dago. He spent 5 days unmarried and 10 daze married. Naturally, he

married Virginia, the cute little one that he raved about for two years. StiU in Dago.

GAWF—^Jay writes about fabulous parties, dances, and stuff down South American way.

The Litde Rock has been all along the east coast of SA, around the born, up the west coast to Panama, and back to Philly in April.

Note to boys in section 4-1: Quote: Old Bucket Gawf is Mk 1 computer operator and can synchronize elevation and rate control in semi-automatic—blindfolded and with one hand ried behind my back. Unquote. He fell madly in love with a Brazilian gal, beauriful and fabulously rich. She couldn't speak a word of Enghsh, and he felt foohsh wooing her with a copy of 'Tormgese Made Easy" in one hand. How about the other hand? Fred Meihe, known as the "Gasbag Pilot," is also aboard the LrnxE ROCK. GLENNON—Al is still at New London from all 1 can gather. He is in the same situarion as Sex with hopes of 18 months' duty there. Believe he is on the BOBBLER (SS344).

HALLER—(Writ by Jamie) Jackson is now Pearl based on the USS BESUGO (SS321) after what he described as a month of paradise on Guam, rest ramp, bonded liquor, steaks, frozen strawberries, nurses, and the rest of the usual submarine Cumshaw. Here, he and another officer share a sedan (USN welfare) and dozens of passionate glas. One named Harriette whose family own vast pineapple ranches on Maue has been parriailarly struck by our boy. Jack, but she's left for College in Boston now. (Note to boys in Boston) Jack says he's pleased to find that she won't wither of loneliness on the mainland; seems she's engaged to a Yale man.

HANKS—Rapid is in Pedro now still on the ST. PAUL. Rumor has ir that he is again in possession of his ring. Apparendy Red changed her mind, or else he did. How about it Bob? HEBERLING—^Daddy Hebe reports (via my wife) birth on 13 August of an 8 lb. 4 oz. boy, Paul Vincent. FARGO is far away in the Mediterranean at the moment. How about dope Hebe? Congratulations to both Don and Phyhss. That is the second baby reported.

Let's have more.

HENCHCLIFF—Detached from Saufley in March and then reported to the DMS DOYLE in Frisco was tied up alongside Bassett's ENDICOTT. In June Hinch says that West Coast duty is tough. Fiis spare time has been taken up with negotiating for a new car, working out at die Y (YMCA or YWCA?), week end trips to Russian River Carmel, and Palo Alto.

Says Sam has lost all his old zip and has developed a mania for eggs and oysters. (You poor guys there ashore, I feel for you.)

HOWARD—Another good man walked the last mile. Red was married to Joan Beecher Crawford on 20 JiUy in Massachusetts. Ain't it grand? Red is on the BOARFISH (SS) and is expected here within a week. lACOBELLI—Now on the DMS HOBSON towing targets in the Adantic. Kakos says for all ships to shoot straight because laco still might owe him some money.

JAMESON—^Jamie is here in Pearl on the way back to states. He left the CHICAGO in Yokosuka and is traveling via air and Hospitals. I guess the doctors want to look at that kidney some more. Figures on going to Frisco and then to Bethesda, Md. Address all letters to his home at 4644 Central Ave., Indianapolis.

JOHNSON—Another new married man.

Sorry, haven't got the lucky girl name handy.

The ranks of you bachelors are thiiming fast Don't know where Doc is, but someone will run into him somewhere. I'll ask everyone to look at the face of everyone seen hanging over a bar. That'll find him. Come to diink of it, his wife might have changed all of that now.

KILLEFER—Killer is still in New London, and is another who has walked the big mile.

He married Cotmie Dean on 1 June at West Chester, Pa. He is on the SPKEFISH (SS404) expecting 18 months' duty at New London or thereabouts.

KENNEDY—Ed got ComSeven orders and ended up on LSM 376, picking it up at Jinsen, Korea. Ed is very unhappy with the present state of his affairs out there and would like to get back to unde sugar as would the rest of us.

KNIGHT—Number one Papa—baby Susan born on 21 March at the Academy for 15 bucks. Cheap, N'est<e i>as? Dick is still on the LSM(R) 510 living in Norfolk. The ships are just setting around with nothing to do.

Tough on married men.

LOPER—Last July's letter from Jack said he was at the Navy Hospital on Guam expecting to return to the States any day for further treatment of his gall bladder or something. When 1 went through the same place in September, he was still there victim of red tape and snafu, but he hopes to get across soon. When stateside, his address will be 2158 McKenzie Ave. No., Long Beach, Calif. Lope is still happy over the general's daughter, Dorothy.

LYON—Leo is now at Gunnery School in Washington although still attached to the ZELLARS.

M A C ' W H O R T E R — I f he follows the course of the other decommed carrier boys, he will be on some sort of landing craft in China or Japan. God help him.

PALETTI—^Art is a sub man no more. Tlie greenness that got him down on the Yippies kept him up on subs. Now on shore duty in PhiUy Navy Yard.

PEARSON—Buzzo is helping die AM379 out in its officer shortage these days. Reported in Japan last spring, but is not there now.

Would guess he is on the West Coast by now.

RHOADS—Dusty is reported at Key West or S Thomas, VI, maybe commuting berween.

Still bitter about wimmin. Ship is SABLEFISH (SS303).

SAUNDERS—Ted has joined Farley at RPI in civil engineering PG. He should be married by now, but definite confirmation is lacking.

SCOTT—Left him to carry the flag for the fourth on my departure. He is still in Japan as chief Engineer of the THOMAS while Melba is back in Kansas. Dick, Dan Walker and other forgonen con men spend most of their time on an anti-smuggling patrol between Korea and Japan. They make hberty in Sasebo once every couple of weeks. Dick is one of six officers on his 2200.

SECCOMBE—Haller reports Sex and wife due for at least 18 months in New London, getting in lots of homework for those dolphins.

SIMPSON—Willy Mole is stiU in Dago on the WANTUCK. Looks like an indefinite stay.

hood of 15.00. Whether to collect $5.00 in addirion to the four bits already kicked in by some, and to charge 15.50 to the others, or whether the $5.00 and $4.50 amount should prevail is yet to be settled. Give it some thought, and the simation will probably be settled on November 20th.

The cocktail party was discussed—most of the members had hoped to put it over by this time—but difficulties in the way prevented this. The desire expressed by the majority present at the last meeting was to hold the affair during the playing of the Army-Navy game. Members and their guests will be served lunch, followed by cocktails. There will be a couple of radio speakers strategically arranged so we can all hear the game. The cost will be proportioned according to the number of persons attending, and each member will be assessed in arithmetical progression, with the number of persons attending at his invitation being the variable figure, the cost per person remaining constant.

It will be necessary to collect some advance cash, so each member will be asked, at a later date, to state whether or not he will be present, and if present, the number of guests, and to purchase luncheon tickets for the number of places for which he is responsible. The Cleveland Athletic Club will be the location (it is hoped that we can set up a bar in the lunch room).

A resolution was passed granting the treasurer authority to send flowers to sick members as occasion might arise. This was done due to the length of time between meerings which would tend to defeat the purpose if we had to wait for a vote of approval for such action.

The last "Secretary's Notes" went to press before we had a chance ro add the names of our new members taken in during the September meeting. We take this occasion to welcome Mr. G. A. Mattucd (24) and Mr. A. S. Morton (39). At our meeting of October l6th we added a new shipmate, Mr. F. M. Falge (24).

Mr. Falge tells us that some of the west coast Alumni Assn's. are very active—we hope the Cleveland group will be just as active as any of them. Perhaps Falge can give us some progressive ideas.

Ray W. Mayhew ( 3 6 ) , Cdr. USNR, hopes to join us at some future date. Right now he teaches at Case Wednesday afternoons, and that makes it impossible to get to our luncheons.

There are a few names added to the list to CLEVELAND whom letters have been written, but to date The sad information that Mr. G. H. Shel- no replies have been received.

ISEW YORK At the October luncheon of the Naval Academy Association of New York the speaker was Rear Admiral John E. Gingrich, USN, who talked on the Naval Reserve and also gave us a most interesting account of the typhoon in which he lost the bow of his cruiser the USS PITTSBURGH.

Planning

W E have heard a great deal in recent years of a "planned economy." Definitions of the term vary according to the degree of "planning" advocated by each proponent.

No theories or systems for the production and distribution of the necessities and the luxuries of life—no plans of any kind—are any better than the judgment and integrity of the planners and the people -who execute the plans.

The first requisite to a well-ordered community is the wellordered individual—the individual who has properly planned his own life and in so doing has earned the right to help make plans for others.

It is not hard to achieve a planned life. The pattern for it is found in the Ten Commandments, summarized by the Golden Rule, and no better pattern ever has been devised.

A life so patterned is never dull or routine. It is a thrilling adventure, each day bringing new rewards, both spiritual and material.
