Systems Engineering

BLASTING

Guided missiles experience aids Martin in implementing this airplane design concept Guided missiles were the first aircraft to attain supersonic speeds—the first to acquire fully automatic control—and the first to require the close design integration of components which The Glenn L. Martin Company calls Systems Engineering. Today, with piloted airplanes also passing the sonic barrier and being assigned increasingly difficult missions, it is essential that they, too, be designed as integrated air-borne systems, not merely as flying vehicles whose sole goal is speed.

With a background of demonstrated accomplishments on top level missiles projects, and continuous growth in this field . . . The Glenn L. Martin Company has carried over Systems Engineeing from its missiles experience to its airplane designing. The Martin engineering staff has been shaped and manned to provide proper emphasis on all three of the basic types of functional elements involved in the production of a modem airplane —airframe and power plant—electronic flight and navigational controls—and military armament or passenger facilities.

Sleek, high-speed, powerful— the Mart$tt XB-51 is the Air Force's irst postwar plane specifically designed for supporting our ground forces.

Martin Systems Engineering recognizes that the immediate problem of aeronautical engineering is not to concentrate exclusively on airframe performance, but to integrate the necessary electronic and mechanical systems into the airframe design to produce a truly effective military weapon. And, whether the weapon is a manned airplane or a guided missile, it is imperative that the complete development be so scheduled that the end product represents a completely coordinated system. There is no advantage in having an airframe ready for flight testing while the guidance system, which may necessitate airframe changes, is stUl a gleam in the designer's eye. / That is Martin Systems Engineering.

That is why radar, servo-mechanism, automatic control, automatic computer and antenna experts—as well as aerodynamicists, structural engineers and electrical, hydraulic, armament and power plant installation specialists—are all part of the well-integrated engineering team The Glenn L. Martin Company offers its customers today.

Martin Ads Tell Air Power Story Reaching millions of informed, alert American magazine readers, Martin advertisements like this one highlight air power's important role in our country's preparedness program. And survey after survey has demonstrated that their fiction-style appearance attracts an extremely high readership.

The general public and business circles are reached through the pages of Time, Newsweek and Business Week. The men and women who write and edit the news are kept abreast of latest developments through Editor & Publisher, American Press and Publisher's Auxiliary.

Hasting enemy supply lines and installations to help keep our ground forces rolling—that's one of the roles the new Martin XB-51 is designed to play in America's preparedness program! It's a teamwork bomber—versatile, powerful, super-fast, highly maneuverable, designed to be capable of operating from combat area fields.

Its lines are clean and graceful, yet radically different. A unique power plant arrangement includes two jets mounted on fuselage pylons and a third in the tail. Drastically sweptback wings, a T-shaped tail and tandem landing gear—plus many other features still classified under military security regulations—make it as m o d e m as t o m o r r o w !

yy

Like all Martin developments, the XB-51 is the product of a highly skilled engineering team. Electronic, aerodynamic, metallurgy research, servo-mechanism studies—all play their parts in the technical leadership Martin offers its customers today. All play their parts as Martin extends research frontiers in advanced design aircraft, rocketry, jet propulsion, supersonic missiles and other far-reaching . fields!

AT ™ L WAR COLLEGE EDITOR'S NOTE: The foUowing speech was delivered by Rear Admiral C. W. Fox, SC, USN, Chief of BuSandA, at the Naval War CoUege on 13 .Mareh 1950,

ADMIRAL Beary, members of the FacJ\_ ulty and students of the Naval War College, it is a genuine pleasure to come here and discuss with you the role of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts in a future war. First, it is a privilege which comes all too seldom to visit the Naval War College, even so briefly, and learn at first hand something of the latest curriculum, techniques, and advanced ideas of this the Na^-y's highest educational institution. Second, I always welcome an opportunity to talk to a willing audience about the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts.

BuSandA does have a definite and vital role to play in time of wax, though perhaps this role is not always fully recognized and understood. I hope that in the short time we have here tliat I can contribute something new to this group's knowledge of BuSandA respÂťonsIbiliues and appreciation of BuSandA's part in wartime operations. Since I do not want to drag you through all the harrowing detail I will concentrate on the two broad, basic responsibilities, namely, fiscal, which includes accounting and supply.

prise principally naval supply depots, naval supply centers, and supply departments of other shore activities.

The continental supply centers and depots, in composite, represent the Navy's wholesale and reservoir activities in the material distribution scheme. As wholesale activities, their stocks insure a regular flow to ships and to continental and overseas shore based consumers. As reservoirs, they house strategic stock pile material, mobilization reserves, spare parts for the Reserve Fleet and advance base components. Without them. Navy material mobilization readiness would be based entirely upon the impossible assumption that, in emergency, industry's production and shelf-stock could meet and keep pace with the Navy's expanding requirements.

Missions

Actouniing

The fiscal and accounting responsibilities include payment of personnel, as well as payment of all the Navy's bills, and the maintenance of an accounting system which generates data to meet the needs of Navy management and the requirements of the Bureau of the Bedget and the General Accounting Oflnce. Insofar as disbursing functions are concerned, the Bureau's role is much the same in peace and war, that of insuring availability of sufficient officers trained in disbursing and a system which provides for prompt and regular payment of all personnel and the settlement of bills.

In disbursing, the effect of war is reflected principally in voliune of business.

In the field of accounting, war would likewise bring a tremendous increase in volume, and would also cause a shift in accounting emphasis. Goverrunental accounting, including Navy accounting, has historically concerned itself primarily with what we may term dollar fidelity. Its main purpose has been and is to insure the proper handling of public funds. A second use for accounting is to provide date for management which will reflect the cost and efficiency of operations and thus facilitate more intelligent direction by management.

It is to this second area that accounting emphasis must shift in time of war.

Naturally, in war as in peace accounting must continue to provide a check on the

faithfulness of those who are responsible for spending public funds, but in war accounting has a greater utility. A basic ingredient of success in the total war of modern days is the optimum utilization of our resources.

R. A D M . C. W. FOX, SC, U.S.N. Chief of BuSandA

both manpower and material. Efficient, effective utilization of resources demands more than merely intelligent, capable managers. The managers must also be well informed and accounting, properly directed, can provide much of the information which these managers must have to achieve full utilization of resources. BuSandA's role in a future war must therefore include assuring, under policy guidance of the Navy Comptroller, that the Navy's accounting system is so developed as to provide to the managers of the Navy necessary data promptly and in usable form.

I have dealt first with the Bureau's accounting responsibilities because too often the potentialities, importance and true place of accounting are forgotten. More generally recognized and appreciated are the Bureau's supply responsibilities. Before reviewing these supply responsibilities as related to the Bureau's role in a future war, I ask you first to examine the supply system and facilities which we now have and to consider BuSandA's position in the Navy's material logistic support structure.

Supply

Support

The material supply line which links the commercial plants of the nation to the operating forces of the fleet includes both facilities for the physical handling of material and agencies for controlling and directing the flow of material to and through the physical facilities. The facilities, which physically handle the bulk of the Navy's 1,700,000 items of material an(^ which perform the functions of receipt, storage, issue or shipment, and disposal of material, com-

Within the center-depot system, the facilities are assigned the several types of missions which they are established to perform.

The Naval Supply Depots at Scotia, Mechanicsburg, Clearfield, and Spokane are inland depots which are designed for storage and' distribution to the wholesale and retail activities in the system of the large back-up stocks which are necessary, particularly in wartime operations, and for housing of the reserve type stocks, already mentioned, as well as relatively inactive, insurance-type items.

The Naval Supply Centers at Norfolk and Oakland have for their prime mission furnishing homogeneous support to fleet and advance base units in all categories of material. In addition they serve as wholesale support points for local shore activities.

These composite facilities are the answer to the war-revealed need for a single coordinated supply facility at each task force staging terminal which must be ready to furnish support in all categories of material.

The coastal Naval Supply Depots, located at Newport, Bayonne, San Diego, and Seattle, have missions similar to those of a center except that they do not stock or furnish support in the complete range of material categories. The depot at Great Lakes is operated in support of the training and reserve activities in that area. Four specialized depots, the Naval Clothing Depot, Brooklyn, the Yards and Docks Supply Depot, Davisville, the Advanced Base Depot, Port Hueneme, and the Aviation Supply Depot, Philadelphia, furnish support corresponding to that furnished by other depots except in a single, specialized category of material only.

Retail Supply

Support

The supply departments of continental shore activities such as shipyards and air stations are of course far more numerous than the depots. These departments are primarily for the purpose of providing dayto-day retail supply support to the industrial, training and/or operational programs of their parent activities, though in some cases they provide depot-type support to other nearby activities.

In addition to the continental centers, depots, and supply departments there are

extra-continental activities engaged in similar operations. For example, we have a supply center at Pearl Harbor, depots at Guam, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Argentina, Newfoundland, as well as supply departments at extra-continental air stations, shipyards, and bases.

These, briefly, are the facilities employed in physically handling the material required for support of the Navy. The system used to insure that required materials, in proper quantities and at the right time, flow through these facilities is outlined in the Navy Supply Plan, approved by SecNav on 14 February 1947. {See October 1949 Monthly Newsletter.)

Under the Navy Supply Plan responsibility for material support functions is divided at the bureau level between those functions which stem from the technical aspects of the diff'erent material categories and those functions which are essentially the same for all categories of material.

Those functions largely dependent on the nature of the material category, usually termed technical functions, include: determining requirements for and initiating procurement of most major end items of equipment, determining what items are required to support each major equipment, research and development, design, inspection, and maintenance. These technical functions are assigned to the cognizant material bureaus, for example, to BuShips for ships equipment and parts, to BuAer for aircraft equipment and parts.

The other material support functions, much the same for all material categories, include inventory control, cataloging, procurement, storage, transportation, stores accounting, issue, and disposal. These functions, known as supply functions, are the responsibility of BuSandA for all categories of material. Thus at the bureau level, responsibility for a particular material category is divided between technical and supply functions.

rials necessary to support OpNav plans. I have perhaps repeated much you well know in this summary of facilities employed in handling material and of agencies involved under the Navy Supply Plan in controlling and directing the flow of material, but not without purpose. I think it essential that you have these facts in mind as we consider BuSandA's supply role in a future war. flexlt>illty and Dispersion And what changes will a future war bring? I am sure that you and I in separate small groups could sit down and amicably discuss the form a future war might be expected to take and develop assumptions on which to base war plans. I am equally sure that from the separate small groups there would emerge many divergent views, many unreconciled ideas. However, I do believe the separate groups would be substantially in agreement on two elements essential to successful prosecution of any future war. These two elements are flexibility and dispersion; flexibility to permit shifts in striking power with maximum rapidity; dispersion to insure that military support installations afford minimum targets to the enemy. These two factors, flexibility and dispersion, will, I think, have dominant eff'ect on BuSandA's actions in war.

Think now of the effect of dispersion on the facilities and agencies involved in material support which we have just reviewed. Without attempting a detailed analysis it seems inevitable that in a future war the facilities we would use to receive, store, and issue material would be smaller in individual size, more numerous and more widely scattered than in the past.

Moves were made in this general direction during the last war, with the establishment of inland depots at Mechanicsburg, Scotia, Clearfield, and Spokane. Similarly the agencies giving guidance and direction to material support would undoubtedly find themselves many miles farther apart than ever before. Eight of the nine supply demand control points have been established outside of Washington. This indicates the trend toward decentralization of facilities.

Safety, efficiency, and increased usage in certain material categories may well require an increase in the number of control points and relocation of some already in existence.

Decentralized SDCP's As contemplated in the Navy Supply Plan, at the next level under the bureaus are the decentralized supply demand control points each responsible for a specified category of material. There are nine of these supply demand control points and each reports jointly to BuSandA and to Thus it is easy to see that dispersion the material bureau having technical cogni- will demand considerable expansion in the zance over that category of material with number of facilities and agencies of matewhich the supply demand control point is rial support and will concurrently bring concerned. about a scattering of material support acIt is emphasized that these SDCP's are tivities such as we have never seen before. not stocking and warehousing activities, On the other hand, flexibihty, the absothey are material control offices.

persed material support facilities and agencies do operate as one in rendering prompt, effective service to fleet operations. Briefly stated—centralized coordination and decentralized implementation.

Inventory Control Perhaps a few words on inventory control, which you may recall is one of the supply functions for which BuSandA is responsible, will clarify the Bureau's position in this war-time material support structure which has been discussed. Inventory control Navy-wide is exercised principally at the supply demand control points under BuSandA supervision.

To a large extent this inventory control is based on past issues and, with a few exceptions in certain material categories, it is not closely geared to changes in deployment and mission. Effective inventory control for war-use cannot rely solely on past issues, but must be sensitive to changes in deployment and mission. What is needed is a means of converting the operational plans developed by OpNav more directly into itemized lists of material required to support those plans. This can, and I believe will, be done.

It involves keying each item of material to that program which it supports as shown in the basic logostic plan, and requires developing and projecting usage data for each item. Thus a supply demand control point informed as to the extent of the program in which an item is used and aware of the usage of the item could compute gross requirements accurately and reduce this to net requirements merely by subtracting the quantities on hand and on order.

As dispersion increases, so increases the necessity for an inventory control system which ties together the numerous agencies of material support and which insures that the total material support effort stems from a common plan of action. BuSandA, as the agency principally concerned with inventory control, must at all cost develop and maintain such an inventory control system. It must work with OpNav and with the other material bureaus in assuring that operational plans are so stated as to be susceptible to conversion into itemized material requirements, and in assuring that these plans and changes in plans are promptly forwarded to the proper control points and support facilities. It must work with the control points and support facilities to make certain that plans are quickly and accurately converted into the on-site stocks necessary for support of operations.

Even after a fully responsive system is developed under conditions of maximum desirable dispersion of facilities and agencies, BuSandA must continue to serve as the system rnaintenance man, shuttling between the dispersal facilities and agencies, supplying a bit of missing data here, applying an improved procedure there, and furnishing specialized advice yonder. Success in this phase of the supply role will determine in great part the extent to which the Navy achieves an integrated material support structure which is capable of providing to the fleet prompt, effective service with least drain on war-burdened resources, and which contributes in greatest measure to fleet flexibility.

Mobile Support Two other phases of supply responsibility deserve mention in the light of the essential elements of dispersion and flexibility.

They are transportation and the materials packagmg aspects of mobile support. {Continued on page 29)

Jone Week and Graduation, 1950 b y Comdr. Louis J. Gulliver

I

The 1950 June Week Program got under way on Saturday, 27 May with a forenoon dress parade for the parents, drags and friends who were already on hand in numbers and in shiny new automobiles. On that afternoon, the annual baseball game between West Point and the Naval Academy was played coincident with the track and field meet, Cadets versus Midshipmen, while over on the golf course the contesting teams from the two Academies had it out. Sunday was obser\-ed in the Chapel as Baccalaureate Sunday. It was the 110th graduation.

Thereafter daily, forenoon, afternoon, evening until fairly late hours. Gaiety was Queen and the liberty bars for midshipmen were down and stayed down. It was a June Week like all others in time of peace —good all the way and with weather that on the whole was up to par. Graduation Day weather was made in heaven for all.

Something new for June Week was a "Forum for Parents of Midshipmen," which was held in Mahan Hall. General comment on this and the attention accorded it by the press indicated substantial approval of encouraging questions and comment by the parents followed by answers by responsible officers of the Academy.

Mention should especially be made of the ceremony of athletic and extra curricula awards in Thompson Stadium under brilfiant sunny skies, the stands being quite well filled as all hands looked in awe and admiration on the Brigade drawn up on a green .grass field. In a space between the Regiments and abreast the fifty yard line were the recipients of the insigna won. Hatless, white trousers, blue sweaters—in a number approximately three hundred, these extracurricula achievers and athletic winners of letters must have thrilled to the inspiring words of praise accorded them by Vice Admiral Hill, Academy Superintendent. (Note: No one in the Academy rates higher than the Admiral in vocal and heart-warming support of the athletic teams).

Thursday, 1 June was one of those "what is so rare as a day in June" befitting the Color Girl and her transfer of the Brigade Colors to the keeping of the Fourteenth Company, commanded by Midshipman Robert Monroe, top ranking scholar and fellow Knoxville, Tennesseean of Color Girl, Miss Charlotte Boise Anderson. By unanimous agreement from midshipman and spectator, she made the transfer of the Flag with Southern grace and beauty unexcelled.

But after all, there is only one DAY in June Week and that is Graduation Day, the end of the old and the beginning of the new. The exercises in Dahlgren Hall conformed to an unvarying pattern that has survived through the years. A beautiful picture is presented of the Brigade grouped around the seated First Class, all facing the platform for the speakers and others in highest Government responsibility. Vice Admiral Harry W. Hill, presiding over his first graduation as Superintendent, had already made known to the Brigade his proposals to "work very hard and to play very hard" (equally applicable to himself). Surrounding all and filling the balconies were the parents, relatives and friends of the Brigade.

Conforming to custom, all living former Superintendents of the Academy were invited to sit in seats of honor on the platform. One noted the presence of Admiral Samuel Shelburn Robison, Class of 1888;

missioned in the Supply Corps. Five members of 1950 were given diplomas but were not Commissioned due to physical deficiencies. Four others of the Class are citizens of countries in Central and South America and accordingly received only their diplomas.

Approximately one half of the regular navy line ensigns have shaped their course to take naval aviation flight training.

The Graduation Day address was delivered by Louis Johnson, Secretary of Defense. He said the graduates were at the beginning of a career, the nature of which is high-lighted by factors in warfare that point to the new developments inherent in scientific changes of major significance.

The Secretary noted that in times past the Navy had adjusted itself to inventions involving revolutionary changes and he pointed out that the Navy of today and tomorrow is keeping abreast of atomic warfare, jet power and guided missiles.

Included in the distinguished company that had an indirect part in the graduation exercises were Frank C. Pace, Jr., Secretary of the .'\rmy; Francis P. Matthews, Secretary of the Navy; Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, Army; Lt. Gen. Lauris Norstad, Vice Chief of Staff, Air Force; Maj. Gen. Ricky E. Keller, U. S. Marine Corps, who swore in the newly commissioned marine officers and Adm. Thomas C. Kinkaid, Ret.

Vice Admiral Aubrey W. Fitch, Class of 1906, and Rear Admiral John R. Beardall, Class of 1908. A number of Admiral Robison's midshipmen, now in the grade of commander, greeted him warmly at the end of the ceremony.

The Class of 1950 graduated six hundred and ninety-one strong of whom four hundred and twenty-three received commissions as ensigns in the line. Graduates commissioned in the Air Force immediately after the exercises, numbered one hundred and seventy-one. Another fortyeight graduates applied for and were chosen for commissions in the U. S.

Our Alumni College Administrators In mid-March, representatives of most of the Naval Reserve Training Corps colleges and universities numbering fifty-two foregathered at the Naval Academy for their annual discussions pertaining to the administration of curricula and training of NROTC midshipmen.

The senior alumnus on hand was Rear Adm. Norman E. Smith, (CEC) USN-Ret., '06. He is President of the University of South Carolina, at Colombia.

Other alumni in like category were Capt. T. DeWitt Carr, '16, who is serving as Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas.

Capt. Forrest U. Lake, Class of 1912, was on hand to represent Tulane University, New Orleans. Capt. Lake retired in 1940.

These active duty officers serving as professors of Naval science and tactics were present at the conference: Capt. Wm. F. Royall, '27, Iowa State University; Capt.

John B. Azer, '30, University of Illinois; Capt. Lewis M. Markham, jr., '25, Alabama Polytechnic; Col. James P. Riseley, '22, Princeton University; Capt. Edward R. Durgin, '22, Brown University.

These officers associated with the BuPers terminus of the NROTC were present and taking part: Vice Adm. John W. Roper, '19; Capt. Alexander C. Veasey, '27; George C. Towner, '24; Herbert P. Rice, '25; Cdr. Luther C. Heinz, '33; and Jacob A. Lark, '32.

Capt. Wm. G. Cooper, '26, Secretary of the Academic Board, did all the work of preparation and served to coordinate the visiting educators and naval oflncer personnel.—L. J. G.

Jhs lAmbbd Si^tlsA Midshipmen to Participate in Air Cruises Midshipmen of the Second Class will participate for the second year in a series of continental Air Cruises as a part of their summer training and indoctrination program.

These cruises have been planned to give the Midshipmen a broad insight and wide understanding of the uses and potentialities of Naval aviation. The Air Cruises will be integrated with a two-day indoctrinational period in an aircraft carrier and two weeks of Naval aviation familiarization at the Naval .\cademy. The air cruise flights will be conducted in combinations of two types of Naval aircraft—the Martin MARS and the Douglas SKYMASTER.

The first Air Cruise departed the Naval Academy on Saturday, June 3 and covered a period of sixteen days. Two groups of approximately one hundred midshipmen each will visit several Naval Air Stations and at least one Air Force Base on each air cruise.

The first cruise will visit the following stations: Group I—Patuxent River, Maryland; Olathe, Kansas; Hamilton Air Force Base, California; Los Alamitos, California; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Jacksonville, Florida; and Group II—Patuxent River, Maryland; Miami, Florida; Pensacola, Florida; Eglin Air Force Base, Florida; Corpus Christi, Texas; March Air Force Base, California; and Glenview, Illinois.

All units of the force arrived at Guantanamo on July 1. After a 10-day period of gunnery exercises and intensive training, the force will depart for Norfolk, debarking the midshipmen on July 14.

The 740 Naval Academy midshipmen, including 190 first classmen (seniors) and 550 third classmen (sophomores) embarked for the cruise at Annapolis, Maryland, on June 3. The task force, then proceeded to Norfolk where the NROTC midshipmen embarked aboard the ships on June 4.

Following the colleges and universities, with numbers of NROTC seniors and sophomores assigned to the first cruise: Mississippi, 4 3 ; Brown, 54; North Carolina, 60; Rice, 44; Vanderbilt, 47; Duke, 44; Kansas, 49; Notre Dame, 67; Texas, 47; Villanova, 47; Alabama Polytechnic Institute, 47; Columbia, 50; Cornell, 2; Missouri, 1; South Carolina, 39; Yale, 49.

During the cruise the midshipmen will be given "on the job" training. The future Naval officers will stand shipboard watches as they become qualified, and participate in training exercises with the ship's regular coirfplements. The training syllabus, including drills in tactical maneuvers, gunnery, antisubmarine warfare, air defense, and fueling at sea, is designed to cover all phases of the operation of a Naval surface force. Fleet submarines and aircraft will be deployed from East Coast bases to participate in the task force's maneuvers.

Destroyers accompanying the MISSOURI on the first cruise will be the BROWNSON, ROBERT H . MCCARD, SAMUEL B . ROBERTS, and CHARLES H . ROAN, comprising De-

stroyer Division

101, and the BARTON,

SoLEY, JOHN R . PIERCE, and STRONG, com-

prising Destroyer Division 201.

Destroyer Division 101, under command of Captain Fritz Gleim, Jr., USN, of Silver Spring, Maryland, will visit Providence.

Destroyer Division 201, under command of Captain William Kirten, Jr., USN, of Riverside, Connecticut, will visit Portland.

During the second midshipmen's cruise, the MISSOURI and eight destroyers will visit Halifax, Nova Scotia, from July 29 to August 2. The period of this visit coincides with the local observance of "Fleet Week.'* The ships will visit New York City from August 9-14. Approximately the same number of Naval Academy midshipmen and NROTC midshipmen from 15 other colleges and universities will be embarked on the second cruise.

The Enterprise Bell Inspiration and a fighting spirit are essential attributes to the man who aspirel to and obtains greatness, and this is tho conviction of no better authority than Vice Admiral Harry M. Hill, USN, Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, whose own brilliant naval record reflects those characteristics to the highest degree.

As head of an institution that must impart those qualities to our future naval officers. Admiral Hill understands the SHIPMATE

value that legend and tradition can play in the moulding of these values into the character of the Naval Academy midshipmen.

Seeking a modern example of fighting spirit, to serve as an inspiration to the midshipmen. Admiral Hill looked back to the men and machines of the last war. He found it in the legend of the Enterprise, the aircraft carrier whose exploits compare with that of any ship in naval history. Immediate steps were taken to acquire the "Big E's" bell and it was delivered and presented to the Naval .Academy to take a place beside Lawrence's flag and the many other immortal emblems of our Navy's history, as an epitome of fighting spirit.

The Enterprise Bell's predecessor at the Academy is the Japanese Bell which was given to Commodore Perry by the Regent of the Loo Choo. It was presented to the Naval Academy by Commodore Perry's widow in 1859 and hangs in an "orientalesque frame" near the end of Lovers' Lane.

Through the years it has become a tradition that the old bell would be rung only on the occasion of a Navy win over Army in football. The entire nation looks upon the Na\->- football team as exemplifying the spirit and "will to win" of the naval service. It was only fitting, therefore, that the ringing of the bell should proclaim that Navy's fighting spirit has brought her victory over her traditional foe.

Upon assuming the post as Superintendent of the Naval .Academy, Admiral Hill decided that a new precedent in tradition should be inaugurated. A veteran of our amphibious operations against Japan, he commanded attack forces in the successful invasion and occupation of eight of the major stepping-stones from Tarawa to Tokyo, and has been awarded the Distinguished Ser\-ice Medal three times for outstanding gallantry and leadership in the ser\-ice of his country. Admiral Hill knows the value of fighting spirit.

At a stirring rally held at the beginning of the last June Week festivities. Admiral Hill announced that the Enterprise Bell would be rung on every occasion when Na\y defeated Army by a majority in .seasonal sports contests. The next day the two academies met in five different contests—^baseball, track, lacrosse, golf and tennis.

The Enterprise Bell was not rung, but its spirit was keenly felt. Spurred by the promise of the bell heralding a majority of victories over the Cadets, the golf and tennis teams swept to convincing victories.

The underdog baseball team fought bitterly for 15 innings before going down to defeat in the longest game ever played between the two service academies. The lacrosse team carried their contest into two extra periods before bowing to an equally inspired Army team.

There is no doubt that the Enterprise Bell will fulfill its purpose and that the future will find it resounding the fighting spirit of the "Big E" and the Navy teams that have "beaten the hell" out of Army.

Thirty-first Annual Poppy Anchor Ceremony Held The 31st Annual Poppy Ceremony, which was inaugurated in 1919 by the late Miss Moina Michael, the Poppy Lady of Athens, Georgia, and since 1930 perpetuated by the U. S. Naval Academy, was conducted on Memorial Day at 12:00 Noon, off Greenbury Point, simultaneously with the Unknown Soldier ceremonies held in Arlington, Va. The American Legion Auxiliary Department of Georgia, sponsored the launching JULY,

1950

of a huge poppy anchor in the waters of Chesapeake Bay, in honor of those men who have lost their lives at sea.

Every year since 1919, and until her passing in 1944, Miss Michael, inspired by an incident involving an aged Mother whose son was lost at sea, fashioned with her own hands, a huge poppy anchor to be launched in memory of all men who have gone down at sea.

Originally, the anchor was launched with naval ceremonies at Savannah, Georgia, but in 1930 the United States Naval Academy has conducted the tribute as a twin ceremony to the ceremonies conducted in Arlington National Cemetery at the tomb of the Unknown soldier.

Participating in the ceremonies were: Brigadier General Robert H. Harper, U. S. Air Force Reserve, who is a member of the Committee on Armed Services in the House of Representatives; Mrs. George Carpenter of Milledgeville, Georgia, Poppy Anchor Chairman; Mrs. Guy O. Stone, Department of Georgia President; Mrs. Joseph Ferri, President of the Department of Maryland Auxiliary and Mrs. Harlan Johnson, Secretary of the Department of Maryland Auxiliary. Mr. Guy O. Stone and Judge George Carpenter also \fere: present.

Five midshipmen from the Naval Academy, headed by Midshipman Guy C. Cheatham, represented the Naval Academy at the ceremonies. Midshipmen Walter C. Stevens, Jr., Edgar K. Wood, Jr., Clayton P. Mays and James B. Walker, Jr., were the other members of the midshipman group.

The group departed from the Naval Academy aboard a Navy YP boat and proceeded to the point in Chesapeake Bay where the anchor was dropped. The ceremonies took place at noon as the first gun of a 21-minute-gun salute was fired. The program included a prayer by Chaplain Iley of the Naval Academy, a few words

by Mrs. Carpenter, and brief remarks by Midshipman Cheatham on behalf of the Brigade. The Ceremonies were concluded by the sound of "Taps" by a bugler from the Naval Academy band as the poppy anchor floated off across the water.

"Buck" Walsh Hospitalized Commander Charles S. (Buck) Walsh, head coach of Navy's crew since 1931, who has been hospitalized at Bethesda Naval Hospital for the past several weeks, will be unable to resume his coaching duties because of serious illness.

Walsh has been identified with Navy's crew since his midshipman days when he first rowed for Navy as a second classman in 1922. Graduated from the Academy in 1923, Buck rowed in the officers' shell in the 1924 Olympics and has been coaching at the Naval Academy ever since. He was assistant coach from 1924 until 1931 when he took over as head coach.

A man who once dreamed of being a regular tackle on an Annapolis football team and wound up at the No. 7 oar on the 1923 varsity crew. Buck Walsh missed earning a football letter because of a succession of injuries. He then turned to rowing, saw the blisters on his hands become callouses, pulled on an oar when he was so tired that he felt like jumping overboard, and eventually found that he loved the sport Which became his profession and won him fame as one of the greatest coaches in shell racing history.

Since 1932 the Far West has dominated intercollegiate rowing in America. During this period, the Universities of Cahfornia and Washington, between them, have captured eight of the ten races held at Poughkeepsie. The only outsider to break the West Coast monopoly has been Walsh's Navy crews who have won the Hudson River classic three times—in 1925, 1938 and 1947.

Probably Walsh's greatest moment occurred during the Poughkeepsie Regatta of 1938. Several days before the race he fell down a landing and fractured his back.

The varsity boatmen were not told about the accident until a few hours before the race. Arrangements were made for Walsh to watch the race from a movable bed, pushed to a vantage point where he could see the river.

When the crew members heard the news of his injury and were told he would be watching the race from the river bank they also knew that he would be listening to the race over a portable radio. Navy won the 1938 race for Buck. The sailors also cracked the existing four-mile record by rowing the distance in 18 minutes, 19 seconds. Walsh maintains that crew was the greatest he ever developed.

Coach Walsh will be sorely missed at the Academy. Loved and respected by every man who ever rowed a shell under his direction, he is also highly respected by rival coaches of the shell racing fraternity, who recognize him as one of the best developers of rowing talent in the country. Cdr. Walsh has also been one of the Academy's ablest instructors in the Department of Seamanship and Navigation throughout his career here.

Naval Academy Participates in Newport-Bermuda Ocean Race Six yachts of the U. S. Naval Academy Sailing Squadron participated in the 1950 Newport to Bermuda Ocean Race, which began Sunday afternoon, June 18, with approximately 63 entries competing over the 635 mile course.

The six Naval Academy craft were under the overall command of Captain C. L. Freeman, USN, embarked on the non-contesting auxiliary schooner Freedom. Competing under the Naval Academy banner were the Royono, an auxiliary yawl, the Vamarie, a staysail ketch, the Highland Light, an auxiliary cutter, and the two yawls. Intrepid and Restless.

Royono, latest addition to the Academy's 16-boat fleet of crack saihng craft, has made an enviable record in Ocean and Great Lakes competition. She was sailed

by Lieutenant Frank Siatkowski, USN. The Highland Light, commanded by Commander K. E. Read, USNR, was willed to the Naval Academy by the late Dudley Francis Wolfe who was killed in 1939 while scaling in the Karakoram Hyalayas, also possesses a distinguished record in sailing competition. Highland Light broke the course record in the 1932 race to Bermuda, completing the run in 71 hours and 35 minutes with an average of eight and threefourth knots. In 1937 the Highland Light finished first in the New London-Gibson Island Race and has twice won the CYBRA High-Point Trophy awarded to the cruising yacht winning the highest number of points for the season in Chesapeake Bay races.

Vamarie, which was commanded by Associate Professor A. R. Hefler, USNA, was built and launched in Bremen, Germany, in 1933 and brougiht to the United States {Continued on page 29)

BUREAU V ORDNANCE The ramjet, often called the "flying stovepipe," is initially boosted by a rocket or catapult, then, as the missile or aircraft to which the jet is attached gains momentum, air is forced into the engine, heated to a high temperature in the combustion chamber and exhausted to the rear. The changing impulse produced by the escaping hot gases thrust the missile through the air at velocities ranging from 800 to 1500 miles an hour.

The new high-altitude test chamber, which is under the engineering and technical supervision of the Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, has been established for the purpose of laboratory testing large ramjet engines under conditions which accurately simulate supersonic speeds at high altitudes. While the data obtained do not completely eliminate the necessity for freeflight testing of the ramjet, laboratory testing considerably reduces the number of flight tests required.

The test chamber is ten feet in diameter, one hundred and twenty-five feet in length with a thirty-foot side door through which ramjet engines are set up for testing. A high pressure air supply together with a vacuum system enables engineers to conduct tests of ramjets under conditions closely approximating that of a missile in flight. The steam consumed in operating the facility is comparable to that required to generate electrical power for a city with a population of 100,000.

The Ordnance Aerophysics Laboratory at Daingerfield is the tool of a unique research and development team of fourteen industrial organizations and eight universities associated with the Navy on the guided missile program known as BUMBLEBEE. Each member holds a prime contract directly with the Navy Bureau of Ordnance, with the Applied Physics Laboratory, The Johns Hopkins University serving as coordinating center for mass attacks on pressing military research problems. The laboratory tests conducted in the high altitude ramjet facility at Daingerfield, together with wind-tunnel and flig'ht simulator tests of models, permits engineers in the nation's guided missile program to study the characteristics of design, as well as the development of missiles with a remarkable reduction in time, expense and number of actual flight tests required.

The Navy Department recently announced the completion at Daingerfield, Texas of a high-altitude test chamber which is another link in the chain of ordnance facilities devoted to the development and testing of guided missiles. The commissioning of the test chamber at the Ordnance Aerophysics Laboratory, Daingerfield is a milestone in the missile research program in that, for the first time an economical and effective means of testing large-scale ramjet engines at simulated altitudes up to 80,000 feet above the earth has been made available to the Navy, other services, research organizations and private industry.

A LARGE-SCALE RAMJET ENGINE being lowered Into the new high-altitude test chamber at the Ordnance Aerophysics Laboratory, Daingerfield, Texas.

or less in diameter, have been successfully tested for the past two years in a highaltitude test chamber at the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University, Navy facilities have heretofore been incapable of testing large ramjet engines at simulated altitudes above 20,000 feet.

Development of the ramjet in the United States began during the latter part of World War II to fill the need for a propulsion unit for a supersonic anti-aircraft missile capable of combatting the Japanese Kamikazi. Guided missiles to be effective against modern high speed aircraft, must be propelled at speeds greater than that of sound, yet as the speed of sound is approached, the compressibility of air creates a barrier that is difficult for an airplane or missile with the conventional power plant to penetrate. The ramjet engine with high power output and relatively light weight characteristics, is an effective means of overcoming the sonic barrier which, until onlv recently, seemed insurmountable.

Half-year Dues Established It is well known to everyone who has actively participated in the Association's campaign to increase our membership, that the point of greatest resistance is reached when tackling a prospect after several months of the current dues year have elapsed. All hands seem reluctant to pay a full year's dues for a half year membership. The promise is made that they will join up at the beginning of the new year then promptly forgotten, resulting in the loss of a member.

Now something has been done about this undesirable situation. At its meeting in May, the Board voted unanimously to establish a half-year membership at half the regular annual dues, for those who join the Association after 1 January of any year. This should cinch the argument from the solicitor's point of view and should be reflected in a marked increase in our membership.

We are just commencing a new dues year. In 1948-49 we had 4900 members; in 1949-50 our membership increased to 5500; this year we have set as a minimum, 6000 members and the sky's the limit. Our membership campaign can now be conducted as an all year activity and it should be made the business of each of us to get at least one new member of the Association within the next twelve months.

Retired Officers' Bills Forced Attrition Reserves in Foreign Jobs Disability and Death Benefits Leave Credit Bills Recently Enacted Transportation No Secretary for Marines House Approves Modern Navy Uniform Vets' Benefits New Academy Provisions

By Fred Lardner / ^ O N G R E S S expects to get away from ^ Washington comparatively early this summer. Senator Lucas of Illinois, majority leader, has mentioned 31 July as the date for adjournment. This year's election campaign will be a tough one, and the easiest way for a politician to sell a voter is to talk to him in his home town. Some members of Congress have noted with concern the fate of Senator Chan Gurney (Rep., South Dakota). As minority leader of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a ranking member of the Appropriations Committee, Gurney remained in Washington until a short time before the primary elections in his state. But Representative Francis Case (Rep., S. D.), campaigning for Gurney's seat, went home early and got busy. And Case was elected the Senatorial candidate.

Much legislation of direct interest to naval officers is pending in various stages.

Apparently Congress hasn't been sold on many bills. Congress can act quickly when it believes a bill is a "must." H. R. 7635, providing graduation leave for West Point cadets and Naval Academy midshipmen, was introduced March 9, and was law about the end of May. The Washington column for this month is devoted largely to the status of pending bills, on the assumption that readers may want to do something to hurry them along. Some of these bills are of vital interest to many naval officers, judging from correspondence and activity concerning them since early 1949.

Retired Officers' Bills H. R. 5350 and S. 2145: This bill provides for an equitable adjustment of retired pay for officers whose retired pay is based on that of ranks lower than those in which they performed satisfactory service on active duty during the recent war and emergency period prior to 30 June, 1946. The legislation is expected to take care of four classifications of officers in this general category. It was recommended by the Navy Department and not opposed by the Budget Bureau. The legislation was introduced in July of 1949, but so far there hasn't been even committee action on it.

S. 2903: Provides that each officer of the Regular Navy retired on or before 7 December, 1941, who served on active duty in retired grade for 6 months or longer between 7 December, 1941, and 2 September, 1945, and who became eligible for promotion but was relieved from active duty under circumstances which would not have precluded that promotion, be advanced one grade on the retired list and receive pay of that hig'her grade. Navy Department recently reported adversely on this bill.

S. 2677 and H. R. 6186: Would credit Reserve officers with retirement and longev-

10

ity pay for time served as midshipmen at the Naval Academy prior to 1913. Delayed pending completion of study by Civilian Components Policy Board on overall problems of Reserve legislation. This board was named by the Secretary of Defense.

In this category, also, is S. 3327, by Senator Taft, providing credit for service prior to 24 August, 1912, at both West Point and Annapolis.

It is possible that a number of bills concerning Reserves are being delayed because of this study.

H. R. 8438: Provides for payment to certain retired members of Naval and Marine Corps Reserves of a lump sum equal to their retirement pay for the period during which they remained in an inactive status without pay. This bill, introduced 9 May, 1950, replaces H. R. 2831. No. action.

H. R. 7761 and S. 3498: Provides that each Regular and Reserve officer of any armed service component, retired and recalled to active duty after 7 December, 1941, shall as of the date of relief from such active duty not later than 1 January, 1957, be advanced on the retired list to the highest grade attained, not above major general. No increase in retired pay, however, would result solely from the advancement in retired rank. New bill.

Forced Attrition S. 2335: This bill, approved by the Senate and reported in late May by the House Armed Services Committee, would establish the same method of forced elimination of flag officers in the Navy and Marine Corps as is now in use in the lower grades.

The bill would eliminate the present "plucking" process. The Navy will be confronted with the necessity of "plucking" in the next several years, while the Marine Corps has already been forced to convene plucking boards. Such procedure means that annually all general officers are subjected to the plucking process, and have no feeling of security or freedom from worry while in flag rank. Under this new plan, admirals and generals will be selected, after prescribed periods or service, for retention on the active list. Failure to be so selected for retention results in retirement.

S. 2335 also authorizes the Marine Corps to have four additional major generals, while not increasing the total number of general officers. More available vacancies in the ranks above brigadier general are needed, sponsors of the bill said.

The Senate Armed Services Committee has noted the fact that the Navy has no selection for promotion from one-star rank to two-star rank in their flag grades. It has requested the Department of Defense to

provide such promotion.

Reserves in Foreign Jobs If Congress will only hurry and declare that Naval Reserve officers in an inactive status are not officers or employees of the United States, a number of Reserve officers could obtain employment in foreign companies controlled largely or indirectly by foreign governments. At present a Naval Reserve is considered as holding "a position of trust and responsibility under the United States." Reserves of the Army and Air Force are not so considered, and they have been in a position to grab off some of these foreign jobs, some of which are with air lines.

H. R. 6077 is a bill which would clarify the Constitution to permit naval Reserves to accept such jobs without first being discharged from the Navy. It has passed the House and as of May was in the hands of Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon, a oneman subcommittee named to consider it for the Senate.

Disability and Death Benefits Public Law 108, enacted in June 1949, provides that members of the Reserve components of the armed forces who suffer disability or death from injuries received while engaged in active-duty training for periods of less' than 30 days or while engaged in inactive^duty training, are entitled to the same pensions, retirement pay, and hospital benefits as are provided for Regulars. Since that time, various other bills concerning disability and death benefits have been introduced.

S. 3072 and H. R. 7752: These bills provide that such benefits shall apply while a Reserve is engaged in authorized travel to and from such service, as well as during it. The Comptroller General has objected to the idea of extending these benefits to cover travel.

S. 3145: This bill, by Senator Martin of Pennsylvania, would extend provisions of Public Law 108 retroactively to 7 December, 1941, instead of 14 August, 1945. This would of course greatly extend the scope of the law. Yet the Comptroller General has offered no objection to S. 3145. No committee action on it as yet.

H. R. 7098: New bill, providing for lump-sum payments in certain cases to survivors of U. S. Military Academy and Coast Guard Academy cadets and Naval Academy midshipmen.

H. R. 7290, H. R. 7348, and H. R. 7752, introduced this year, seek to extend the scope of such benefits for Reserves in various ways.

H. R. 7354, another new bill, would proSHIPMATE

vide allowance of death pension for survivors of World War I and World War I I veterans when death is denied service connection.

H. R. 8504: Authorizes payment of death gratuity for the death of a member of the armed forces, including Reserves, in active or training service.

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Leave Credit H. R. 5529 would authorize the allowance of leave credit to Regulars and Reser\'es of the armed services who were denied such credit as a result of changes in their status between 8 September, 1939, and 9 August, 1946.

During the past war it was found that many officers retired because of inability to perform all active duties required of them, could perform certain duties. Such officers were retained on active duty following their retirement.

"Quite a few of the officers so retained," said John T. Koehler, while Acting Secretary of the Navy in July of 1949, "had accumulated leave through active service prior to retirement, but were deprived of such leave because of a ruling of the Comptroller General. The ruling stated that officers who were retired and retained on active duty were not entitled, under leave laws then in effect, to take or be granted leave which had accumulated prior to their retirement. This situation has been corrected insofar as officers retired after 9 August, 1946, are concerned, since the Armed Forces Leave .\ct of 1946 provides that officers retired after the date of enactment of that statute if contained on active duty may carry over to the period of service after retirement the leave which they accrued during service prior to retirement.

"Another category of officers deprived of accumulated leave solely because of change iii status were those officers of the Naval and Marine Corps Reserve who transferred to the Regular Navy and Marine Corps under the provisions of statutes other than those of the act of 18 April, 1946."

This act provides that Reserves who become Regulars are entitled to accrued leave. Reserves who became Regulars prior to 18 April, 1946, were deprived of accrued leave by the Comptroller General.

This bill would cost the Army and Air Force $1,400,000 and the Navy and Marine Corps $1,200,000. It is a just and fair bill. But there has been no action on it.

Bills Recently Enacted Public Law 501 (H. R. 6825): Extends time limitation for submitting recommendations for decorations and awards based on acts performed during World War I I .

Public Law 521 (H. R. 6171): Authorizes commissioned officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to administer certain oaths.

Public Law 485 (H. R. 5921): Terminates lump-sum benefits provided by 49 Stat. 1524 and 56 Stat. 738, to certain officers of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force for service performed after 24 June, 1948.

Public Law 479 (H. R. 3205): Provides a 1-year extension of the time for making application for terminal-leave pay, and iixes 30 June, 1951, as the termination date. Public Law 314, enacted in October 1949, authorizes terminal leave pay for certain officers of the Navy and Marine Corps.

IIDMIII HOUSE By Oretha Swartz.

Y|/"HILE the Naval Academy was be" ginning its June Week on Saturday, 27 May, graduation exercises of the U. S. Naval Postgraduate School were being held that morning in Mahan Hall with Vice Admiral J. W. Roper, Chief of Naval Personnel, delivering the commencement address.

Rear Admiral H. A. Spanagel, Superintendent of the School, made the awards of Masters of Science Degrees to those officers who fulfilled the requirements for advanced degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Dean Roy S. Glasgow presented the Bachelor of Science degrees in Aeronautical Engineering, Science, as well as the above mentioned fields, with Capt.

H. T. Walsh presenting the graduation certificates to the senior member of groups receiving certificates. In all, 176 officers of the Armed Forces received degrees, including 138 Naval Officers, eight Marine officers and two from the Coast Guard.

Receiving certificates were a group of 21 officers of Applied Communications. In addition, seven officers from our Latin American neighbor countries received the BS degree in Electrical Engineering.

The occasion was noteworthy for two reasons: It was the fortieth anniversary of graduation of student officers from the School and the initial occasion of awarding accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in designated fields of engineering to those who qualified.

Among the distinguished guests attending were Vice Admiral Immanuel Molger of the Chilean Embassy, Rear Admiral A. M. Pride, Chief, Bureau of Aeronautics, Rear Admiral A. T. Church, USN (Ret.) and Capt. Eduardo Berald, Uruguayan Naval Attache.

Receiving MS degrees were Lt. Frank W. Anders, Lt. Comdr. Daniel Arundell, USN; Major Frank Gordon Casserly, USMC; Lt. Comdr. Philip P. Cole, USN; Lt. Comdr. James Arthur Cooper; Lt. Comdr.

ON THE RECORD

It's off to Newport, R. I., for the Naval Academy's public relations officer who has been in that office since July, 1946. As Walter Winchell recently mentioned in his syndicated column, the public relations man was not a gentleman—^but a lady, Lt. Marie Kelleher, who reports for duty on 9 July as Waves Officer, Indoctrination Unit, General Line School.

Lt. Kelleher has been the only commissioned Waves Officer on duty at the Severn River Naval Command. Reporting for duty in May 1943, she was then on duty as the Engineering Experiment Station as a chemist, and there she remained until '46 when she became assistant public relations officer at the Academy. In June 1948 she became head of the department.

Lt. Kelleher is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts where she specialized in chemistry. After receiving her commission at the indoctrination school, Mount Holyoke College, she reported for duty in Feb., 1943, in the Department of Bureau of Ships, Washington, D. C. A group of midshipmen participated in the unveiling ceremonies of a statue of Brigham Young at Statuary Hall, U. S. Capitol last month, with Midn. Darrell S. Chapman of Magna, Utah, and Midn.

James B. Irwin of San Jose, Calif., the State and National color bearers for the ceremony.

Other midshipmen attending were Jay R. Buys of Eureka, Utah; Robert B. Eddington, Springville, Utah; John C. Ellison, Layton, Utah; Ernest R. Center, Jr., Pittsburgh, Pa.; Peter H. Kruzi, Smith-

GOINGS O N

Now that June Week and its innumerable visitors is a thing of the past, Annapolis IS settling down to a bit of quietness, with small parties highlighting the social interest, and Navy couples off to the far corners the focus of considerable entertaining.

The retirement of Rear Admiral Herman A. Spanagel as superintendent of the Naval Postgraduate School was the occasion of the cocktail and smorgasbord party held in the Officers' Club last month, with the Admiral and Mrs. Spanagel honored from the hours of six to eight. Over 100 guests attended, and hosts were the members of the staff and faculty of the school, and their wives.

Admiral Spanagel received a scroll signed by all hands, and his wife received a leather guest book signed by all the Staff Wives Club members, of which she is honorary president.

For those members not present, the books will be mailed to their present address.

Copies of the book may still be procured, by sending eight dollars to J. A. Hartman, 8502—48th Ave., College Park, Maryland.

All members of the class should bow low, and utter deep and sincere thanks to Chris Engleman, business manager, Charlie Brook, editor, Ken Gentry, biographier, Charlie McCombs, photographs, and Herb Marable for art work in producing such an excellent book. Likewise, hats off to all members of their committees who assisted them in their work. Also, Ed Dorner, the former secretary deserves our deep appreciation for the time and effort he spent in locating so many members of the class who had apparently disappeared without a trace.

Report of Class 1930 20th Anniversary Reunion Party held at the Officers' Mess, U. S. Naval Air Station, Alameda, California, on Saturday Evening, 3 June 1950.

The members of the Class of 1930, who are located in the viciiuty of San Francisco, held their 20th Anniversary Class Reunion at the Naval Air Station, Alameda, California, on Saturday Evening, 3 June 1950.

The party was planned by Abe Lincoln and Harry Verhoye to supplement the grand reunion, which was held by the class at the Naval Academy, Annapolis on the weekend of the 27th May 1950.

In all, we had 25 classmates and their wives and/or girl friends attending. The party was preceded by cocktails and wound up with a birthday cake burning 20 candles. Everyone present assisted in blowing out the candles and Ruth Fromhold, the charming wife of Wally Fromhold, cut the cake with his saber. Harry Verhoye acted as Master of Ceremonies and Abe Lincoln was the Toastmaster.

Messages of greetings from the Washington Class Group and the San Diego Class Group were received. Howls of approval greeted the message from Ozzie Colglough, who sent us a telegram. The final greeting read was from Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.

The gathering, in view of the success of this present party, decided to arrange for an annual repetition. A standing committee was voted on and Bill Stewart was ele.cted president and Robbie Robinson was chosen

as secretary. They will follow on with the plans for future get-togethers.

As a final touch, Abe Lincoln produced the surprise package in the form of the 20-year book, "The Hour Glass," which he distributed to everyone present.

After dinner, the party continued until the management turned out the lights. The entire affair was a complete success and the only remarks made were those questioning why it had not been done before: The following is a list of those who attended: WilUam Y.

REPORT OF TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY PARTY CLASS '30 SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA

A total of 22 members of the Class of '30 gathered at the Officers' Club, Naval Station, San Diego, at the appropriate hour of 1930 on 3 June to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the graduation of the Class from the Naval Academy.

George Palmer, Captain, U. S. Navy, acted as master of ceremonies and opened the meeting with a few well-chosen remarks plus the reading of congratulatory letters from Admiral Nimitz, other dignatories, and from the assembled membership at the Annapolis Reunion. Subsequently Nick Lidstone, Bert Hindrelet and Mike Sass took over in the matter providing entertainment of a personal nature for the assembled groups. Comparative photos of those present were flashed on the screen showing how they looked on graduation, present appearance and estimated appearance twenty years from present date. Short stories and anecdotes by members of the group followed with a musical interlude

by Hindrelet on the stomach Steinway and mass singing following.

All members of the Class were introduced and made appropriate remarks. All the wives were introduced and Lael Ruff represented the feminine contingent in presenting well-received short sketches. Bill Lowry • brought the entertainment to a close with a well-chosen story.

The main meeting broke up at about 2230 whereupon all hands retired to the main dining room where dancing was indulged in by those not too aged and decrepit to enjoy themselves further. The party was voted a huge success, in fact it was agreed that it was the best of the four parties held within the last 5 months.

A list of those in attendance follows: Mrs. H. W. Bauer, Lee D. and Mrs. Boyle, C. E. and Mrs. Earl, William C. and Mrs. Ennis, Mrs. Victor S. GauUn, Wm. Ellis and Mrs. Centner, Mrs. Nathan B.

I. J. SCHWARTZ, (Cdr. USN) changes his address to 85-01 Myrtle Ave., Glendale 27, N. Y. On 13 May, at the officers club Newport, R. I., the Class of '32 gathered for a final cocktail and dinner-dance before breaking up to the four corners of the earth. Many were present, and many unable to come because of previous committments. Among the "old guard" were Boots and Buck James, Eloise and Al Major, Jane and Sam Moncure, Kit and Dick Gregory, Gail and Bob Walker, Jean and Lou Tshirigi, Mabel and Hal Knoertzer, Virginia and Dick Craighill, Virginia and Lou Bryan, Babs and Bill Short, Jeane and Petey Quirk, Jean and Wynn Bailey, Jeanne and Sam McCornock and Bud Innis. Surprise and most welcome guests were Jean and Horace Rounds, who were able to slip down from Boston way, where Horace is running a successful business— proving that we can make a living on the "outside" if necessary.

In the area, but absent for various reasons were Dutch Close, War College; George Synon (USCG) War College; Lloyd Mustin, Staff ComDesLant; Porter Lewis, X O Yellowstone; Dick Franklin, N.-^S Quonset; Charley Parks, civilian; Ted Hodgkins, Civilian; Izzy Schwartz, Brooklyn; Joe Thompson, civilian; Rufe Soule, civilian; Red Stoner, staff subslant; Growler Grouleff, Columbia NROTC, and Tom Langen, just arrived to take over X O on one of the tenders in Newport area.

As is usual this time of year, most of the talk, after the first round of drinks and greetings, centered on new duties and stations. The James' are heading for Fleet Air WingsLant; Eloise and Al Major are looking forward to XO at Moffet Field and Sam and Jane Moncure are Honolulu bound for duty with the Underway Training Unit there. Dick Gregory is going in for more higher education by moving from the War College to the Industrial College for the Armed Forces, while Bob Walker is listed for the logistics section of CincLant Staff. Bud Innis is sea-ward bound for duty as X O of a carrier, while Hal Knoertzer is moving to Norfolk area on the staff of Servon. Dick Craighill is slated for Bupers—and an interesting sounding job. Lou Bryan is going to the catching end of education by shifting from Head of the Naval Academy Prep School to a student at the War College. Bill Short and Sam McCornock continue on the staff of the General Line School, and Petey Quirk stays on for a while at the Torpedo station. Wynn Bailey, after three years on Deslant staff, is headed for welcome shore duty at Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Va. Lloyd Mustin is staying on Deslant staff and is

24

looking for a house for his family. Incidentally, Lloyd is the first '32 (we believe) to have a son graduate from high school— young Henry Mustin has just finished school on the west coast. Dick FrankUn, after outguessing the weather in Newport for some three years (and believe me that's some job) is heading for duty in Washington area. Dimie Dimitrijevic is staying on the staff at the War College, as is Lou Tschirigi—the SOP in '32. Lou, as most of you realize, has been a full Colonel, USMC, for some time now.

During the past year '32 has been one of the most active classes in the Newport area. Monthly luncheons, run by Dick Craighill, brought all local groups, and whatever visiting firemen happened to be around, together; while the series of class dinner-dances helped liven the routine of studies and duties that took up most of our time. It's been fun—and—Aloha.

The Washington Chapter of the Class of 1932 had a turnout of 22 for its May meeting, held at the Gun Factory on the 10th.

The Council completed action at that meeting on the reinvestment of class funds.

It directed that $4,800 be deposited in an optional share account with the Home Building Association of Washington, D. C. The remainder of the funds in amount $145.46 is deposited in a savings account with the American Security and Trust Company of Washington, D. C." Van Evera, John R., (Cdr. U S N ) .

Everybody's conduct was splendid if not exemplary, that is, so the braggards said on Monday morning next.

Guy Morrow and his committee were the

major-domos of the affair and did such a swell job that there is serious thought of making them permanent.

NAVY GOLF TEAM CAPTURES EASTERN COLLEGIATE CROWN The Navy golf team, coached by Bob Wilhams, captured the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Championship this season by defeating Yale, 5 to 2, in the semi-final match and then handing Dartmouth a lacing by that same 5 to 2 score in the final round to clinch the 1950 hnks title.

The Midshipmen had gained the Eastern finals by defeating Virginia, Pennsylvania and Georgetown in the elimination round.

By ousting Yale in the morning match 13 May at Princeton, N. J., Navy gained revenge for last year's defeat by the Elis in the finals. Both teams had practically the same hneups as played in the 1949 championship match.

Si Hart, the Academy's no. 1 man, lost out when he three-putted on the seventeenth, but Captain Lee Baggett of the Midshipmen evened the count at oneall by dropping a 40-foot put on the seventeenth to even his match and then went on to par the final hole for a one-up victory.

John Inman lost to Yale's Roden, 3and-2; but Al Williams won the longest match of the day by defeating Brown of the Elis on the 22nd hole, one-up. Dennis Sullivan, Dick Fontaine and Dick Wiseman all won their matches to set up the winning margin.

The afternoon match against Dartmouth represented the third trip to the finals for Baggett, Sullivan Wiseman and Hart without a victory. So it was a determined Navy team that dropped the Indians for the tide.

Williams won the no. 1 match from Dartmouth's Carey, and Sullivan, making the greatest comeback of the day, overcame a three-hole advantage to top Eichler and send Navy ahead 2 to 0.

Fontaine and Inman dropped their matches, but Baggett, Wiseman and Hart scored victories over their opponents from Dartmouth and Navy had won the championship, 5 to 2.

NAVY'S 1950 GOLF TEAM won the Eastern Intercollegiate links title this season. Members of the squad are (left to r i g h t ) , front row: Dick Fontaine, John Inman, Lee Baggette ( C a p t . ) , Jim Strohm and Si Hart. Back row: Comdr. C. P.

Ryan Receives Thompson Trophy; Hawkins Gets NAAA Award Vice Admiral Harry W. Hill, USN, Superintendent of the Naval Academy, has announced that Lieutenant Wilham F. Hawkins, USMC, of Richmond, Va., and Ensign Phillip J. Ryan, USN, of Goodhue, Minn., received the Naval Academy Ath-,, letic Association award and Thompson Trophy Cup, respecdvely, for 1949-50.

The Athletic Association award is presented at the end of each academic year "to the Midshipman who is considered to have personally excelled in general athletics." This year's award will be a watch.

Binoculars and swords have been presented to past winners.

The Thompson Trophy Cup is awarded and captain of the Navy team in 1949, to the Midshipman who has "done most capped his collegiate gridiron career with during the year for the promotion of ath- an outstanding performance in the annual letics at the Naval Academy."

GOLF, TENNIS TEAMS TOP A R M Y ; CADETS W I N THREE EVENTS

Army has now won nine victories in the series while the Midshipmen have recorded 12 triumphs..

Thompson Stadium at Annapolis was the scene of this year's Army-Navy track meet and the visitors from West Point registered their fourth straight win over Navy, 86/2 to 44J/2. The Midshipmen had visions of pulling an upset in this one, but the Cadets' power came through with nine firsts and a share of another for their score.

It was the fifteenth victory in the series for Army. Navy has won nine times. The series was started in 1923.

Navy defeated Army in two spring sports this year but fell to the Cadets in the other three contests played Saturday, 27 May. The Midshipmen were triumphant in golf and tennis, but dropped decisions to the West Pointers in baseball, track and lacrosse.

Al WiUiams, Dennis Sulhvan, Dick Fontaine, Dick Wiseman and Si Hart defeated their .\rmy opponents in convincing fashion to run up a 5 to 2 win over the Pointers. It was the Midshipmen's eleventh victory over Army without a loss since the series was initiated in 1939. There has been one tie match, but the Cadets have never won.

The Navy tennis team poured it on as they drubbed the Army netmen by a wide 8 to 1 margin. The Annapohs court squad won all but the no. 1 doubles match in pinning up the one-sided victory. The series, which was begun in 1923, stands now at six wins for Navy and eight wins for the Army.

Perhaps the most thrilling event of the day was unfolded before 3,500 spectators at Lawrence Field where Army took a 7 to 5 decision on a two-run error in the fifteenth inning when two Navy infielders ran together trying to field a pop fly.

The fighting Midshipmen had come from behind to tie the score at 3-all in the ninth iiming, and again in the eleventh and fourteenth frames. Going into the fifteenth deadlocked at 5 to 5, Army filled the bases with two men out and Arnold Galiffa lifted a pop fly to the infield. Third-baseman Bob Zastrow and second-baseman Roger Buck both went after the fly but collided back of the pitcher's mound as the ball fell safely to earth. Two runs scored on the play and Buck was charged with the error.

Bill Hawkins, with his left arm in a cast as a result of a fracture received earlier in the season, hurled the first nine innings giving up nine hits. He was relieved in the tenth by Josh Dorsey who, in turn, was followed by Don Forbes. The latter was credited with the loss.

Army's win snapped the Navy streak at four, and the Cadets now have won 24 games as to 19 for the Midshipmen.

In another overtime contest the West Pointers defeated Navy's lacrosse team by 11 to 8. The score was tied at 8-all at the end of the regulation playing time and Army gained three more goals in the double overtime for the winning margin. Navy's Lawrence Treadwell was high scorer for the day, however, vdth four goals to his credit.

SHIPMATE

VERSATILITY FOR strategic airlift requires "around-the-clock" movement of critical cargo and personnel in large quantities to a given area. Full utilization of planes and space, plus the capacity to load and unload with timetable regularity—these are the essentials for success in such operations.

The Fairchild C-119 is designed to meet the rigorous demands of strategic airlift missions.

Capable of carrying a 9 ton pay-load for 2000 miles, its huge fuselage handles bulk items with ease. Rapid loading and unloading of cargo is

readily accomplished through the huge rear loading doors and the truck-bed height of the squared fuselage—features designed to do the job.

Built to perform multiple assignments, C-119's can deliver mobile hospitals, aircraft engines and spare parts, machine shops and maintenance personnel—a vast variety of strategic items—when and where they're needed.

Little wonder the C-119, another Fairchild "first" in air transportability, sets the standard for VERSATILITY in modern aircraft design.

DETROIT An unusually active joint meeting with the West Point Society of Michigan was held at the Brodhead Naval Armory on May 11. There may be a lot of hullabaloo about the Army and Navy not being able to see eye to eye with each other, but this get-together proved the critics wrong. Unification was never better!

A series of excellent movies showing life at West Point were shown prior to dinner.

This coupled with a few short ones got the evening off to a bright start. Following dinner, short informal talks were given by the oldest and youngest graduates from both academies, as well as by ranking members of each association. The tenor of most of the talks emphasized the importance of a working unification of the Services, adequate mobilization and an intensive fight against the "isms" that are trying to undermine the American system of government.

For quite some time following these speakers, other members were prompted to interject their thoughts on the vital points covered. Further discussions brought out nearly complete agreement on how graduates could help bring these about.

May 19th marked the opening activities of Armed Forces Day with a luncheon attended by Detroit's various representatives of civil and military groups at the BookCadillac Hotel. Highlight of the luncheon was an eye-opening speech by General Hoyt Vandenberg, who stressed our air defense weaknesses. Alumni attending included: J. J. Brennan, Homer Clark, H. V. Clark, F. R.

President, Kansas City Branch U. S. Naval Academy Alumni Association Kansas City, Missouri Dear Jo Zach: Please extend to the members of the Kansas City Branch of the U. S. Naval Academy .\lumni Association our appreciation of their splendid gesture in awarding a gold watch to the outstanding graduate of the NROTC Unit at the University of Kansas for the year 1950.

This annual award has a most profound effect on the spirit and morale of the Midshipmen of this N R O T C Unit. They feel deeply the interest that a group of .Annapolis graduates desire to take in the Midshipmen of a civilian institution. Your presence along with Pat Humphrey in the reviewing party at the Honors Parade on Armed Forces Day, when the actual presentation of the watch was made by Chancellor Malott of the University, added to the satisfaction of the Midshipmen.

As you know. Midshipman Richard A. Traskowsky of Woodbine, Kansas won the award this year. He will graduate from the School of Business of this University on June 5, 1950 and will be commissioned an Ensign, U. S. Navy that day. He has been on the University Honor Roll during his entire four years here. He won admission into Phi Betta Kappa. He is a leader.

We here on the N R O T C Staff are confident that the Kansas City Branch gift has been bestowed upon a young man of great promise.

Sincerely, W.

R.

LOS M4GELES For our June meeting we are accepting the gracious invitation of Captain Michael H. Kernodle, USN, Commanding Officer NAS Alamitos, to hold our dinner at the Officers' Club of his station. Joining us at dinner as guests of the Club will be 124 midshipmen who will be at that time temporarily attached to the air station on their way to join ships of the Pacific Fleet for their first class cruise.

As those who were present at last month's meeting already know. Major General Worton, USMC (Ret.), will be our speaker of the evening.

Major General William A. Worton was bom in Boston in 1897. He was educated at English public schools, Boston Latin School, and Boston University. In 1917, he was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant, U. S. Marine Corps and began a distinguished career of 32 years of military service. A real "Old China Hand," he spent thirteen years in China, during which time he graduated from the State Department's Language School and served for four years as Language Officer at the American Embassy in Peiping. For the last two years of the war. General Worton was Chief of Staff, 5th Marine Division—a division with an outstanding combat record, culminating with the capture of Iwo Jima. His decorations include the Legion of Honor, Bronze Star, French Legion of Honor, Chinese Cloud and Banner, and a special decoration from the Secretary of the Navy for his leadership of the advance into North China after the Japanese surrender.

General Worton was appointed Chief of Police of Los Angeles on 30 June, 1949 to serve for a period of 120 days. That appointment has been extended three times, and at present runs to 30 June, 1950. Dur-

JULY, 1950

ing his period of office. General Worton has done an outstanding job of reorganizing and strengthening the police departme;nt and of restoring pubhc confidence in the department and its officers.

We have both a distinguished speaker and a rare opportunity to meet some representatives of the present generation of midshipmen. Come, and bring a guest. Return your reservation card NOW. • • • LAST MEETING Eighty-seven members and guests turned out for the May meeting at the Pasadena Athletic Club. Classes represented ranged from '98, in the person of General Fred Bradman, Sr., to '47, in the persons of C. G. McPortland and the ubiquitous Thomas L. Hartigan, but as usual, '21 lead the procession, with eleven members on hand. .-As a matter of fact, the three classes of '20, '21, and '22, had more representatives than all the twenty classes from '27 through '47.

That generally seems to be the case, and a quick glance at the roster shows that although those three classes have a lot of members in the area, their good attendance factor can't be explained on the basis of mere numbers. We suspect that the real reason is that these worthy gentlemen have attained that privileged age where their wives will let them out of the house nights, but are still young enough to have the strength to get out. Or is it that they've reached the point where there's nothing to keep them home? That they've lost interest in television, bridge, and other indoor sports ?

Whatever their reasons for attending, everyone who showed up at the Pasadena meeting heard a really fine talk by Mr. Reagan Stunkel, Vice-President of HydroAire, Inc. Mr. Stunkel said his talk was merely one small business man's opinion on the state of the nation, but he gave a reasoned and clear analysis of the situation as it now stands. Since this bulletin is really non-political, we can't repeat Mr. Stunkel's remarks in any detail. Suffice to say that the gentleman has a low regard for a fiscal policy that spends more money supporting the price of peanuts that it allocates to the Navy's guided missile program.

As an incidental note, youth is still youth.

After leaving Bovard Auditorium, we were walking behind a group of undergraduates.

One of them asked another what he thought of Captain Morison's talk. "Aw, just a recruiting speech," was the answer, "I wonder how much Culver paid him?"

U.S.N.A.A. AWARDS You are again reminded that the annual award of the U.S.N.A.A., Los Angeles Chapter was given at the Final Dress Parade and Review at USC on the 20th and will be presented at UCLA on the 23rd.

President Teague, of course, is doing the honors as the representative of the Chapter. The trophy will remain this year at USC. The winning student of each university will have as a permanent prize a Benrus watch presented through the courtesy of R. H. Zahn, '27, who represents the Benrus Watch.

MIAMI The Gulfstream Branch held an outdoor steak dinner on Tuesday, 2 May, at the home of A. Judson Hill, '27. A number of local alumni and their wives attended.

After grilled steaks over charcoal, huge Idaho potatoes cooked in boiling resin and a delicious tossed green salad, the group listened to the Pepper-Smathers election returns, talked "Navy" or went swimming in the moon-lit pool.

The next meeting will be afloat. President Alex M. Balfe, '30, is taking the group for a moonlight cruise with buffet supper on his boat.

NEW YORK

The Naval Academy Association of New York, Inc. held its monthly luncheon at The Lawyer's Club, 115 Broadway on Tuesday the 16th of May at 12:30 P.M. Our Guest Speaker was H. Gerrish Smith USNA 1891, Chairman of the Board of Shipbuilder's Council of America.

Mr. Smith's topic was "The Present Status of the Shipbuilding Industry in the U. S." It was quite obvious from the labor index statistics quoted by Mr. Smith that the industry is in a very poor position— NAVAL HISTORIAN the outlook for the next two years shows We went out to USC a couple of weeks very little prospect of any gain.

PHILADELPHIA A very enjoyable dinner-dance attended by the West-Point Society of Philadelphia and the U. S. Naval Academy Alumni Association of Philadelphia was held at the Commissioned Officers' Mess at the Naval Base on Friday evening 13 May. Through the courtesy of Rear Admiral Schuirmann, Commandant Fourth Naval District, an orchestra of the Naval Base Band furnished the music. There were 140 of the two local Alumni Associations and their ladies in attendance, and all enjoyed the party very much indeed as it really was a most enjoyable affair.

ST. LOUIS Commander Petter G. Pettersen, District Marine Inspection Officer, Second Coast Guard District, addressed the local chapter at the May meeting.

The meeting, as usual, was held in the Propeller Club of Mark Twain Hotel.

Commander Pettersen related some of his experiences during his years of inspecting ships. He told of the many ways ship owners can be saved large sums of money by careful action of inspectors.

A native of Norway, Pettersen came to this country before World War I. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin.

He, at one time, ojierated his own steamship company on the Great Lakes.

Attending the meeting at which President Wilham P. Kellogg presided, were: F. M. Rain, N. J. Gundlock, C. F. Stone, J. W. Quilhan, Admiral Perkins, U.S.C.G.; R. J. Dressling, R. W. Murch, L. E. Kuhnmuench, M. K. Peyton and W. M. Holland.

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco Branch of the Naval Academy Alumni Association held their regular monthly meeting on 7 June, at the Commissioned Officers' Mess, U. S. Naval Station, Treasure Island. H. N. Lyon, '25 presided.

Clyde King, '22, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, presented that committee's selection of nominees for office in the coming year as follows: For president, Lt. Col. H. N. Lyon, USMCR, Class of 1925; For vice-pres., Capt. G. G. Miller, USN (Ret.) Class of 1922; For sec-treas., Lt. R. W. Clark, USNR, Class of 1944.

The nominees, as presented, were elected in a unanimous vote.

Mr. Ted Huggins, with the Public Relations Dept. of Standard Oil of California, was guest speaker. Mr. Huggins, having just returned from an extensive tour of Western Europe, was well qualified for the subject. Western Europe—May 1950—Via Business Periscope. Vicarious travel such as this guided by Mr. Huggins may be preferable to actual personal travel. At least it was far more humorous and much less expensive than to make such a trip oneself. Either the trip was a continuing comedy or Mr. Huggins has a delightful presentation on an interesting subject.

The following Alumni attended: Roland Riggs, '04; E. L. Patch, ' 1 1 ; R. G. Payne, '12; Ned Marbourg, '17; D. Browne, '17; Bill Morcott, '17; L. P. Sargent, '17; G. W. Mead, '20; F. A.

Joe Danhoff reminded the members of the National Association to send in their ballots for national officers prior to 11 May, 1950. He then called for nominations for the trustee to be elected from our local branch. Frank Strohecker was the only nominee and was elected by a unanimous rising vote, in recognition of his past work on behalf of the Alumni Association.

Tommy Thompson then introduced the speaker of the evening: Comd. R. J. Schoettler, USNR, who gave a very interesting talk on Navy activities in China during World War II. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

whj an oath ?

iiiiy not malie it a i/ow ?

Today many people—in positions of responsible leadership—a few who mav he Communists or fello^^•-travelers—have protested vigorously against taking an oath to the effect that they do not believe in or advocate the overthrow, hy violence, of the Government of the United States.

These dissenters claim that such an oath abridges the right to think as they please, that it amounts to thought control imposed bv government or other authority—or that it is unfair to require it of one group of citizens and not of another.

Some are quite flagrantly enemies of the country, trying to hide behind the Constitution that they seek to destroy.

In principle, the oath was established to help rout the Communists out of the national woodwork. And it is succeeding fairly well indeed. But why stop at an oath?

Wliy not make it a vow? Why, indeed, limit it to school teachers or atomic scientists or oflicials of certain unions or any other category of citizens? Wliy not start with "A" in the alphabet and go right through to "Z"? Start with the tots in the kindergarten and go up the line to their oldest living relatives.

And let's not do it by legislative fiat, but by appealing to the soul and the conscience of ever\-one in the whole nation everywhere.

Has something been lost in America? Is it tbe bright star of belief that led men to conquer oceans and forests, to build a new civilization of free men? That belief was no

casual acceptance of freedom—but a fever, a burning desire for it. It was an unspoken partnership with God to make man again free, erect—an individual made to His likeness.

The venal, the lustful, the treacherous and perfidious among us have, for a while, crept into positions of influence. They are being discovered and routed out. But we can best be rid of them by a mass dedication to the principles of honesty, integrity, unselfishness, and concern for our fellowmen. It was these tenets as expressed in our own Bill of Rights upon which this nation has grown prosperous—spiritually, socially, economically,. Why not then, a vow . . . a vow of faithfulness to this country, a vow to defend and support it against every attempt at strangulation—from within as well as from without? Why not a vow to listen with sharp objectivity to orators who trade on human frailty—who promise a paradise and would deliver it drenched with the blood of those opposing them? Why not a vow to regard another man's rights as sacred as one's own?

While we may have to continue to require oaths in order to trap and prosecute our most virulent enemies, a personal vow by every citizen to protect our land from fools and traitors will do America far more good. is this w o r t h v o w i n g t o k e e p ?
