AUGUST,

1952

Homecoming-Alumni Day 1952 For the benefit of our new members, here is a review of plans for Alumni Day and Homecoming Weekend this year.

Alumni Day is, under ordinary circumstances, the Friday closest to 10 October, the date of the founding of the Naval Academy. This year, 10 October falls on a Friday and this is Alumni Day. Homecoming Weekend commences with Alumni Day and closes on Sunday evening. As has been done during the past two years, the Superintendent will again this year on that occasion graciously make available to our alumni the facilities of the Naval Academy. There will be a reception for all hands in the Armory on Friday afternoon followed by the usual excellent dinner in the mess hall. On Saturday Navy plays William and Mary in Thompson Stadium. This is the highlight of the day. In addition to these events, fathers of midshipmen may have luncheon with their sons in the ofess hall on Friday and out of town stags attending the Homecoming may be quartered in Bancroft Hall over the weekend.

There will be conducted tours of the various academic departments for those who haven't been back in a long time and cruises in the harbor and up the river for the nautically inclined.

The Alumni Association and the Academy cooperate in working out the details of the Homecoming with the Association handling most of the paper work, dis-tribution of tickets, housing, collections, etc. Alumni House is the registration point for the occasion and is the central gather^ ing point for those attending.

On about the middle of August, each member of the Association will be sent an application card for tickets to the various events. Business reply envelopes will be sent with the cards and it is hoped that those who plan to attend will return their applications with check to the Alumni Association office prior to 15 September.

Have in mind the tight housing situation and the large number who attend the Homecoming (3,000 last year). Make your plans now to be with us on that occasion and get busy bunting up a place to stay.

Remember, tickets to the football game must be obtained from the Naval Academy Athletic Association direct. The Alumni Association has no football tickets for sale.

If you need help in finding accommodations for your visit, we may be able to place you in one of several private homes which are on our list but it is best for you to make your own arrangements if possible.

See you at Homecoming.

Furthermore, the 2-man crew need never have seen the bomber they destroyed.

Today these all-weather jet interceptors are being delivered to the U.S. Air Force for 24-hour duty guarding U.S. borders and key cities. It gives the Air Force a fast-climbing jet fighter that is almost automatic—forerunner of planes that may actually fly and fight by themselves.

The Starfire's brain center can locate invading bombers on the darkest, stormiest night. Its unique all-rocket armament can destroy the biggest bomber built.

The Starfire is another example of Lockheed design "stretch"—an engineering achievement of creating a more advanced model out of an existing airplane. This speeds development and production, also cuts cost. Forerunner of the Starfire is the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star of Korean fame.

ORNMCE UD GlIilERY "Ash-cans" to A-Bombs

By H. H. Jalbert, '14 Fabulous strides were made in ordnance and gunnery between the days of the ashcans of World War I and the atomic bombs of World War II. Today, the gunservicing machinery and the fire-control instruments of thirty years ago appear so amateurish in design and so crude in fabrication that they could qualify for exhibit in a Rube Goldberg museum of mechanical curiosities. Included in that category might be Fisk's stadimeter and the main-turret shell hoists which were a glorified modification of the old bucket-type undershot water wheel. Those now antiquated bailing-wire lash-ups have been replaced by precision instruments designed by experts, computers with mechanical brains, and electronic genii that seem to operate merely at the push of a button or the turn of a knob. It must be said to the credit of the Department of Ordnance and Gunnery at the Naval Academy that it has kept pace with all these n u m e r o u s changes. Somewhere along the line, the ordnance course at the A c a d e m y h a s been transformed into a practical presentation of gunnery as it is under actual service conditions instead of consisting of a heterogeneous mixture of ballistic jargon that was over the heads of most midshipmen, obtuse empirical formulas that were not understood (and n e v e r properly elucidated), and yards of pullout d e t a i l e d l i n e drawings that turned confusion into chaos.

In 1922 there were a total of thirteen instructors assigned to the Ordnance Department; that compares with twenty-six instructors today. Formerly, all instructors doubled in brass when it came to drill periods. Now, they are divided into two groups—classroom and drill instructors.

Classroom instructors are present at drills but the drills are planned and under the direct supervision of officers who are specialists in each particular field. Drills now have taken on a real practical and professional aspect. They are far more technical and worthwhile than those of thirty years ago when hours were spent tossing S-inch shells into the breech of a loading machine to develop "coordination" AUGUST,

Practically all other activities of this department are conducted in Ward Hall, the most modern addition to the academic buildings at the Academy.

There is a space where training f i l m s m a y b e shown to groups of midshipmen. In addition to the two separate rooms for the first and second class c o m m i t t e e s of instructors, there is a wardroom where the instructors may assemble for conference, preview films, and gather together for a sociable cup of coffee or "a pause that refreshes." Adj oining the wardroom is an air-conditioned library for the use of the instructors.

The library is well stocked with technical books and the current professional periodicals. Between Ward and Dahlgren Halls at the end nearest the bay is Official V. S. Navy. Photo t h e n e w M a r k I Midshipmen at anti-aircraft battery drill.

In addition, there is the small arms training acquired during plebe summer and the general ordnance instruction received during the two practice cruises. Obviously, only the high spots can be covered as is rnanifest by the fact that only one recitation is devoted to armor and penetration while only two recitations are assigned to each of the following: explosives, gun construction and interior ballistics, automatic control equipment, rangefinders, mines, antisubmarine warfare ordnance, aviation ordnance, problem and basic mechanisms, rocket and missile control, and organization and communications. On the other hand, eighteen recitations are assigned to surface fire-control, twenty-four to antiaircraft fire-control, and ten to antisubmarine weapon control. During first class year, forty-two hours of practical work and drills are devoted to fire-control training.

The ground to be covered in the alloted time is extensive but under the circumstances the division of time has been judiciously made.

As now organized and set up, the Department of Ordnance and Gunnery at the Academy deals basically with ultimate military objectives. The mission is to produce junior officers with the necessary gunnery background for further development after joining the forces afloat.

Gunnery experts with practical shipboard experience with the cooperation of associates who were experienced writers compiled the materials. The result is a manual that is written and intended for the instruction of students who are being exposed for the first time to the technicalities and intricacies of naval gunnery. The book is profusely illustrated with cut-away views, schematic drawings, simplified wiring diagrams, and numerous, large-scale halftones of wash-drawings illustrating the vital parts of mines, rockets, torpedoes, bombs, and other naval weapons and ordnance mechanisms. The end of the line result has been a manual that provides midshipmen with an excellent source of the basic and operational knowledge essential to junior officers and furnishes them with the necessary background for further development through practical experience on shipboard after graduation.

also teach them the fundamentals of infantry combat and familiarize them with the automatic rifle and the submachine gun.

As in the past, the academic study of ordnance and ginnery at the Academy is confined to second and first class years.

During the first term of second class year, the classroom assignments cover general ordnance, interior and exterior ballistics.

The second term of that year is devoted to mines, antisubmarine warfare weapons, torpedoes, and aviation ordnance. The general problem of surface and antiaircraft control and the basic systems used to solve these problems are taken up during the first term of first class year. During the second term of first class year, midshipmen study the application of these systems as applied to battery alignment, spotting, and naval gunfire support. In addition, they study specialized types of weapon control which include torpedo, antisubmarine, rocket, and missiles. The course is rounded off with brief discussions on organization, communications, and hints to junior gunnery officers. On the two summer practice cruises which are taken on combatant ships of the fleet, the midshipmen control and fire all calibers of guns in the standard types of target practices.

The Department of Ordnance and Gunnery at the Academy is faced with the same dilemma that confronts all other departments. That is, the problem of compressing into a relatively short course of instruction the vital essence of as broad a subject as naval weapons and their application. The problem is not an easy nor a simple one to solve. Many factors have to be evaluated in its solution and there is the possibility of many errors of judgment. As the course stands today the lesson assignments have been judiciously chosen and the great stress placed on the carefully planned drills which are built around the use of shipboard instruments and equipment go a long way toward giving the students a sound foundation and a practical approach to this allimportant subject of naval training. While the present course is not all-inclusive, it gives the midshipmen an excellent general coverage of the subject with special emphasis on those phases which are of immediate value and importance to young officers who are soon to join the fleet.

that, if you could get it: but then, you couldn't get it.

There is an ancient and creaking elevator which brings you to our floor, or above, but you must walk down. I tried once to ride down in it, when I was ill, but it landed me on the ground floor with such a bump that I thought we were going right on through, so I haven't tried it again.

There is a sign on it anyway, warning you of danger if you take it anywhere but on the ground floor. I don't know why this should be: if it has enough "umph" to bring you up, I should think it would have enough to take you down. But as far as I know, it's the same all over Paris, except in the great hotels and the American Embassy office buildings.

The concierge lives in two tiny rooms on the ground floor with her husband, her daughter, and two small grandsons. The husband and daughter work outside, the mother cares for her grandchildren, and like all concierges in Paris, I'm told, is a spy for the police. She will never trouble you as long as you behave, however. Until recently, I thought it was her job to keep the entrance, stairway and halls clean, but it seems she hasn't enough time. The owner hires another woman to do that, arid she gives it a lick and a promise, from time to time. The concierge delivers your mail, your newspaper, takes messages or packages for you when you're not at home, and tips the delivery boy—this last is necessary in France and Switzerland, and I don't know what other European countries, and keeps the keys to your apartment when you go away. You must not fail to give her a good tip on moving in, and a smaller sum monthly. Both of ours have always been very pleasant and helpful, but if you get in their bad graces you might as well go home.

Paris is, of course, a gorgeously beautiful city, and now in the Spring it carries out all my expectations and is really breathtaking. There is surely nothing cheap about it, however, with two exceptions as far as I know: one being servants and the other antique furniture and bibelots, the last two only cheap in comparison to what you would pay at home for something in the same class. Taxicabs have gone up twice in price in the eight months I've been here, and cost more than they did at home when I left—by home, in this instance, I mean my native city of Baltimore. The metro—subway—is naturally much cheaper,

and there are first and second-class cars, but I've never dared to take it alone.

Roughly the equivalent of 8c will take you, first class, quite a way. Busses cost more, as at home, and you can buy a book of tickets, each ticket being good for three stops, for S6c. The busses are clean and new in comparison with the taxis, most of which I think were here in 1914, when General Joffre needed them for the battle of the Marne. There is a receptacle next to each bus stop from which you draw a number on arrival, as at some of our meat counters, so in rush hours those with the lowest numbers get on first. Gasoline costs twice what it does at home, 60c a gallon, and road maps must be paid for at a high price, instead of being given away by the gas stations, as in the U. S.; but the roads are excellent, better marked than ours, usually tree-lined, without billboards or advertising of any kind. The countryside around Paris is beautiful and full of historic interest, and if your pocketbook is well-lined, you can have luncheon or dinner in the most heavenly inns, seated on a terrace by the Seine or the Marne. French trains seem to me to be very good indeed, with the cost about the same as at home, but travel by air is much more expensive than by train.

One nice thing about being in Paris is that you can get to other places in Europe quickly: but not cheaply, except in comparison to the cost from the U. S. When it comes to our "bonne a tout faire" (maid of all work) I can really become lyrical. We pay her $43.00 a month, which is good pay, furnish her with a room and her food, $1.00 a day to feed her when we're not here, and her bus fare, for she doesn't use our room. After she has been with us for a year, she gets a month's pay at Christmas, this being an established custom in France because of the thirteenth, or Lunar, month. She also gets two weeks' vacation with full pay, during the year, and money for food during that time, as well as the social security payments. This last is French law. She is always willing, smiling, honest, and an excellent cook. She does all the the marketing and marks everything down in a notebook, which I check every day or two. If you don't want a regular servant and you can find one, you can have a "femme de menage" (cleaning woman) come in by the hour.

The last time I needed one, 1 paid about 30 cents an hour, and had all the windows washed in this apartment for $2.60. Capable

and honest servants are becoming more and more difficult to find, however, as at home. I'm told the wages of a couple are $73 to $85 a month, but then you must feed them, house them if they want it, and all the other charges as in detail a propos our maid.

You can buy almost anything in- Paris that you can anywhere, except avocados, philodendron and salted butter; and it may be that I just don't know where to go to find these things. One thing I find very exasperating here is that the shops nearly all close Saturday afternoons, and many of them all day Monday; a majority from 12 to 2 every day, and the food shops from 12 to 5. Others seem to close because it's a beautiful afternoon and they want to go for a walk. The beauty shops are very expensive if you go to one in a good quarter—all prices in Paris seem to depend on that. They are also very efficient, and you can get a massage, a pedicure, anything you want, all in the same place. There are also beauty shops for men and for dogs. Where I go costs nearly $6.00 for a shampoo, wave and manicure, and then you must tip each one separately, including the doorman.

Near my beauty shop is a wonderful outdoor market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I try to go always on one of those days, especially now in the Spring, for the pleasure of seeing the stalls, and hearing the cries of the hawkers. Just now there are strawberries, fraises du bois, or wild strawberries, beautifully arranged on their green leaves; fresh white asparagus, new carrots, all sorts of green salads, beautiful turnips—I never thought before that turnips could be beautiful, but they are and look like flowers—seafoods and meats of every description. The seafoods, called "fruits of the sea" by the French, are fascinating. There are sea-urchins from Marseilles, which look like large chestnut burrs outside, and are like flowers when opened.

There are "coquille St. Jacques," our scallops, only here they are sold in their shells at so much a kilo, including shells, which are lovely, but not that lovely; all sorts of fish including sole which we haven't in our waters. It is delicious, but iells for more than $1.00 a U. S. pound, the exact price depending on the quarter and the day.

There are lobsters and langustas, cray fish, tiny baby shrimps and huge ones, sea spiders from Brittany—I don't know the price of those because I never thought of buying one. I've heard that you can get shad in Paris for a few weeks each Spring, and of course there are always snails, salmon and frog legs. Then there are the cheeses—it's a paradise for cheese-lovers— and cream so thick they sell it by the pound, like butter. I've never seen flowers or fruits in more profusion than here, even in California, and in the markets, now in the Spring, not so terribly expensive. There is a special flower market in front of Notre Dame, which on Sunday mornings is also a bird market. If you feel energetic and rise around 6 A. M. and go to the Halles— central markets where the country people bring their produce at dawn or before—I'm told it's a sight not to be missed, though so far I've missed it. Later on, the best has been sold. If you don't go to these markets, you (or your cook) must go to five or more different shops to get together a good meal. There is the "laiterie" for milk, butter, eggs, cream and cheese; the "boucherie" for meats, the "epicerie" for groceries, the "marchand de vollaile" for poultry and game. He has chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pheasants, quail and other game, and his windows are really fascinating in the Fall.

Of course you must visit the "patisserie," where you can buy rolls—"petit pains"; a fairly thick loaf of bread called a "batard," though why It should be called a bastard I don't know, and neither does anyone I've asked; a longer, thinner one called a "ficelle" (string), or a loaf more like ours called English bread. It is all delicious when fresh, but it won't keep. You see women walking along carrying a loaf of bread almost as long as they are tall, or a boy on a bicycle with one or five under his arm.

They seldom wrap it, even in the middle, for paper is scarce and expensive in France.

The French pound is 500 grams and ours only 454. They sell by grams, pounds and kilograms (a kilogram being a thousand grams). Their money is different from ours—official rate being 350 francs to the dollar—-so it is difficult to work out a price list; prices also depend on the season, the quarter of Paris, and whether the franc is up or down. The following list is made from my observations and calculations, and correct for May 1952, to the best of my ability: Eggs—best quality (winter)—10 to 11 cents per egg.

Eggs—best quality (summer)—5 to 6 cents per egg.

Cheese (Gruyere)—90 cents per U. S. pound.

Bread (batard)—7 cents a loaf.

Stew beef—50 cents per U. S. pound.

Faux fillet—a good cut of beef but not the best—98 cents a U. S. pound.

Raw ham—$1.34 a U. S. poimd.

Veal—$1.12 a U. S. pound.

Artichokes—good and plentiful—between 9 and 10 cents each.

Milk—pasteurized, but without cream— 13 cents a liter (a little more than a quart).

Cream—by the kilo—80 cents a U. S. pound.

Oranges—by the kilo (as are all fruits) —43 cents for more than two pounds.

Wine—good table wine—60 cents a liter and up.

Wine—good vintage wine—$2.00 a liter and up.

Champagne—good—$3.00 a bottle.

Brandy—good—$3.00 a bottle.

Brandy—superb, the like of which is unknown in the U. S.—^$10 a bottle.

Hard liquors—imported, such as whiskeys and gin are more expensive than in the U. S. Rye is obtainable while bourbon is hard to find.

I've found that if you buy clothes from the best "houses"—Jacques Fath, Christian Dior, etc., you pay—well, nobody but the very rich can afford them, and there are relatively few ready made things. Even at those prices you are liable to meet yourself at some party or other, for models are made to be copied. There are two ways, I find, to get around this: the big houses have sales at the end of the season, and they really are sales; or, I have been lucky and found a dressmaker with her own atelier who used to work for Lanvin. I bought the material and she made me a Spring suit, copied from a picture in the American Vogue, and very smart I think, for around $50. Also you can find hats made up, or you can have them made. The AUGUST,

one I ordered to go with my suit was about $15. Cotton is scarce in France and as expensive as silk, which costs about $6.00 a metre, a metre being 3.37 inches longer than a yard. Pure wool, double width, about $12 a metre. Men's readymade clothes are not bad looking, and cost about the same as women's.

The laundries here are terrible—Sabby finally found one to wash his shirts satisfactorily, at 26c per shirt—but they tear our sheets to shreds. The cleaners are good, however, and not too expensive—$2.10 for a lady's suit. The tobacco shops, which also sell matches, are a State monopoly, and only about a year ago did they start again—after the war—selling American cigarettes. Now you can buy several kinds, at SOc a pack. Matches are not free with your package, as at home, but cost two cents a box. French cigarettes are cheaper —the cost from 25-40c a pack.

The French, like the Spanish, evidently, don't like to stay at home—for surely all the places at the sidewalk cafes can't be occupied by foreigners. The are many, many cafes, inside and out, some of them with thrilling histories. They are of varying prices and attractiveness, according to the neighborhood. People are sitting there at 9 A. M. sipping their aperitifs, and that goes on all day. Wines are wonderful and cheap in comparison with the U. S., but restaurants are very expensive, perhaps not more so than those of the same class at home. A good lunch or dinner—they are practically the same in France—in an ordinary restaurant, with fish or soup, a main course with salad and dessert and/or cheese costs 1200 frs. ($3.36) on up. I'm told there are restaurants that cost less, and there must be, but I haven't found them. Your butter is additional, your coffee and tip also, except in some places where the tip is included in the bill, and frequently there is a cover charge. The food is out of this world, only where the French put all they eat I can't understand.

No wonder they need spas—they must spend millions of francs a year for cures.

Some of the theatres here are government subsidized, so the poorer people can see good plays—the Opera, the Theatre Frangais, and the Comedie Frangaise. A seat for a first-run movie costs 8Sc for evening, in some regardless of where you sit. Television is available in France, but

no one we know seems to own a set. We have neither radio nor television in our apartment, and don't miss it. Radio is also State run, here as in Switzerland, and is supported by a yearly' tax on the owner, so there is no advertising; but the programs are limited to certain hours, and there seems to be a great deal of static.

The movies are American, French, English, Italian, German and occasionally even Russian, but the three most usual are French, American and English. American movies are sometimes "original version" (English speaking) sometimes "dubbed" -— French voice speaking in place of the original voice.

As all the world knows, there is no finer ballet, opera, concert music or other entertainment than can be found in Paris. To be successful here or in New York I suppose is the goal of every artist.

There are no more elegant people in the world than high class French people. They have charm, graciousness and culture; but the market people are often rude, though the cab drivers many times nice and funny.

Signs are plastered on many walls — "Americans Go Home." Nice French people say that as fast as the communists put up these signs, the anti-commnnists follow and tear them down. The other day I saw one which said, " P . C. Go Home," and when I asked what " P . C." stood for, was told it meant "Parti Communiste," which did my soul good. Also after one sign "Americans Go Home" was added, "Sponsored by T. W. A." Nevertheless you do often see these things, and it gives you an uncomfortable feeling, as it is intended to do. But Sabby's pay comes from the U. S., so we try to pay it no attention.

It is just part of the "cold war," and doesn't represent the French government, and only a minority of the French people, growing smaller, thank goodness; I do feel, however, that there is a hostility to us, generally, here, not very far beneath the surface, and I wonder why.

There are many sides of Paris of which I haven't spoken—it is a wonder city.

There are students here who live on very little, and certainly many French people have small salaries but they do not have the comforts and conveniences which we in the U. S. have come to consider essential.

Therefore I certainly would not choose Paris if I were a retired officer, trying to live on retired pay.

Fleet Reserve Cruises

Atlantic Fleet Reserve cruises will be available to about 763 officers and 4,484 enlisted men in the Volunteer and Organized Reserve during the months of July, August and September. All cruises will be of approximately two weeks' duration.

Eligible are personnel from the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Naval Districts and the Potomac River Naval Command.

The majority of the cruise ships will sail from Newport, R. I., or from Norfolk, Va. They range in type from destroyer escorts and cargo ships, to battleships and large aircraft carriers.

The first group of ships will depart on the 29th of June. Each Naval District has been assigned specific quotas for each ship taking part in the Navy's training program.

Seminars for Religious

• Leaders

Navy District Chaplains have completed a series of eight Seminars in their respective districts on the subject of what_ the Navy is doing to aid the moral, religious, and educational progress of its young men and women. These seminars were conducted at Navy installations as a result of a plan inaugurated by the Chief of Naval Chaplains in March 1952 and were designed to acquaint religious leaders and educators with the Navy's program of welfare, moral guidance, and character improvement.

Seminars have been held in Boston, Mass., New York City, Norfolk, Va., Asheville, N. C, Pensacola and Jacksonville, Fla., Chicago, 111., and San Diego, Calif.

Over 6500 invitations were sent out by the Commandants of the Districts concerned.

Rear Admiral S. W. Salisbury, Chief of Chaplains, USN, spoke at three of the seminars and emphasized that the moral training that the Armed Forces give to the young American now on duty will determine what future generations of Americans will be like. He also indicated that this training is important because, "more men and women graduate from the Armed Forces each year than from all higher educational institutions in the United States."

Comments from two letters received by a District Commandant following the seminars reveal the general response to this project. From an educator, "The seminar gave convincing evidence that the Navy recognized the crucial difference between the USA and the USSR to lie in attitudes (Continued on page 11)

Congress gave the U. S. Navy their second super-aircraft carrier, and at the same time a big headache in administration of officer personnel. These were the biggest controversial features, from the Navy viewpoint, of the Defense Department appropriations bill for fiscal year 1953.

The House and the Senate passed bills which differed in numerous respects. The House included in its bill a ban on a second

S H I P M A T E

Running Mate Idea Hit

Section 634 of the 1953 appropriations bill is "in direct conflict with Public 'Law 381 in that it imposes percentage limitations on the entire officer structure, line and staff combined, and thus tends to defeat the running-mate principle for the staff corps," Admiral DuBose said.

"The immediate effect of Section 634 will create a widespread uncertainty and distrust of the future," he added. "It will affect Regular and Reserve officers alike, since they are promoted under a common system."

As first approved by the House and the Senate, Section 634 was to become effective during the last quarter of the fiscal year 1953. However, the Defense Department told the conferees that, if they were to insist upon the legislation, it should be made effective beginning 1 July, 1952, the start of the 1953 fiscal year.

Just how Section 634 came to be enacted is something of a mystery. Few observers gave it a chance when it was first introduced. But it passed the House, and finally was accepted by the Senate. Apparently the .\rmy and the Air Force may be less affected by the provision than the Navy.

The Second Aircraft Carrier

The final appropriations bill provides that "obligations may be incurred against funds appropriated hereunder to the extent required during fiscal year 1953 towards the construction of a second carrier of the FORRESTAL class, but this proviso shall not be construed as granting obligating authority for future years unless duly authorized

by Congress."

The Navy gets no extra money for this carrier, but they did not expect any. They will merely divert funds' earmarked for other construction.

"I am extremely thankful that the money for the second carrier of the FORRESTAL

type is in the bill," said Representative Edith Nourse Rogers (Rep., Mass.). "The great importance of carriers has been demonstrated by the bombing of the warehouses at the Yalu River. Most of that was done by planes which took off from carriers."

Many members of the House are not at all enthusiastic about another carrier at this time. Some have suggested that the Navy defer start of construction until the FORRESTAL itself can be tried out.

The keel of the FORRESTAL will be laid July 14. The Navy would be foolish to wait any longer than absolutely necessary to start the second carrier.

V o l u n t a r y Retirement

The ban on voluntary retirements in the House version of the appropriations bill was finally approved by the House-Senate conferees.

The Senate changed this version to permit retirement of officers with thirty years of service, but this provision was eliminated by the conference.

The law permits a number of "outs," however, and there is some doubt about the importance of the provision as a whole.

An officer can retire because of physical disability, achieving the age at which retirement is required by law, and if the Secretary of Defense states that his retirement is "in the best interests of the service, or is required to avoid cases of individual hardship."

Just why Congress should enact a law limiting voluntary retirement, at a time AUGUST,

1 9 5 2

when there is widespread complaint against an alleged excessive number of officers in top grades and in the face of another law (the Davis amendment) seeking to limit the number of officers in top grades, is a mystery. But Congress can be mighty illogical at times.

Tempered Marine Corps Bill

S. 677, the bill to enlarge the Marine Corps, was toned down a little before passage. The law provides for a Marine Corps of not less than three combat divisions and three air wings, with such other land combat, aviation and other services organic thereto. The actual numerical floor of 220,000 regular enlisted personnel, however, was eliminated, as was a requirement for "full strength" for the three divisions and three air wings.

The Marine Corps remains entirely within the Navy Department.

The law authorizes the Commandant of the Marine Corps to meet with the Joint Chiefs of Staff on matters directly concerning the Marine Corps. Final decision in such matters will rest with the Secretary of Defense.

New Transportation Laws

H.R. 5065, now law, authorizes allowances for officers of the Regular Navy and Marine Corps who were appointed during the period 8 May 1945 and 31 March 1951 for transportation of dependents and effects from home of record to first permanentduty station. Prior to 1 April 1951, the date the Joint Travel Regulations became effective, there was no authority to reimburse Regular officers for expenses so incurred.

This bill would reimburse about 1,564 Navy and Marine Corps officers with a sum estimated at $532,230, plus $14,433 for 71 complainants with cases now in court.

On the subject of transportation, the Defense Department appropriations act.

Section 632, states that no funds shall be available for expense of transportation, packing, crating, storage, etc., of household goods and personal effects in excess of "an average of 5,000 pounds net, such average to be based upon the total number of shipments authorized for permanent change of station during the previous fiscal year but not exceeding 9,000 pounds net in any one shipment."

"An officer of the Regular Navy who was retired on account of physical disability prior to enactment of the Career Compensation Act and who performed active duty subsequent to the enactment of such act, is entitled, upon release from active duty, to credit for his midshipman service in determining the percentage factor to be used in the computation of retired pay.

"Section 516 of the Career Compensation Act, authorizing credit for active service after retirement, is for application only in those cases where it would result in an increase in retired pay so that in a case where an officer would suffer a decrease in retired pay, the officer should continue to draw the retirement pay he was drawing at the time of retirement."

Another educator wrote, "I came away feeling that our Navy is much more than another military organization."

The conference in New York was sponsored by the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Similar jointly sponsored conferences are being planned for metropolitan areas on the west coast later in the year.

S. Naval Academy's Class of 1956, arrived on Monday, June 30, to begin their four-j-ear course of naval and academic training which will lead them to a commission in the Armed Forces.

The Class of 1956 is expected to number approximately 1,100.

For these young men their first day at the Naval Academy passed quickly. They had a full daj', being kept busy registering, receiving their initial issue of uniforms and equipment, getting settled in Bancroft Hall, their new home; stenciling their clothes and completing official forms and other paper work.

The MIDWAY, one of the Navy's largest

carriers, departed from Norfolk, Va., on June 24 to begin its two-week cruise, which will acquaint midshipmen on board with all phases of air operations at sea. On July 3, the MIDWAY dropped anchor at Halifax, Nova Scotia, remaining there until July 7, and returned to Norfolk on July 9. This cruise was commanded by R. Adm. T. H .

The Navy's first "killer" submarine, a destroyer and an attack transport visited the U. S. Naval Academy for the Fourth of July. They arrived Thursday (July 3) and were open to the public during the three-day holiday weekend.

Also at Santee Dock for visiting was the destroyer

honor of the lati R. Adm. Carl Theodore \'ogelgesang, U S N .

She is under the command of Cdr. Raymond A. Hundevadt, USN, who graduated from the Naval Academy in the Class of 1940.

The VOGELGESANG is the flagship of

Cdr. Carlton B. Jones. USN, who is Commander, Destrojer Division 42.

An Amphibious Force attack transport, the U S S ROCKWALL, commanded by Capt

A. H. Taylor, USN, arrived in Annapolis on Thursday, July 3, and remained at the Annapolis Roads anchorage during her three-day visit, holding "open house" throughout the weekend.

On the Fourth of July all activities of the Severn River Naval Command observed holiday routine, and all ships in commission in port donned their traditional "full dress" for the occasion.

At noon on the Fourth, the Naval Academy's Stribling Walk Saluting Battery fired a 21-gun national salute in honor of the 176th Anniversary of American Independence.

3 Academy Professors Receive Promotions In addition, the Naval Academy, as usual,

welcomed visitors to its Museum, Chapel, Crypt of John Paul Jones, the Natatorium, and Macdonough, Bancroft and Memorial Halls, in observance of Independence Day.

and displaces 750 tons, as compared to the standard fleet type submarines which are 311 feet long and displace about 1,500 tons.

The U S S K-1 is under the command of Lt. Cdr. Frank A. Andrews, U S N , who graduated from the Naval Academy with the Class of 1942. She has a crew of 42 enlisted men and five officers, and is equipped with the latest electronics equipment in order to carry out her primary mission.

The K-type submarines were built especially for the task of seeking out and destroying enemy submarines. All submarines can be useful in anti-submarine roles, but the small K-boats are experimental prototypes which specialize in that employment. The hunter-killer submarines do not have names, but are designated K-1, K-2 and K-3.

Three members of the U. S. Naval Academy's civilian faculty received promotions early in July, according to an announcement made by V. Adm. Harry W . Hill, USN, Academy Superintendent.

Professor Reginald Clair Lamb of 149 Monticello Ave., Annapolis, Md., has been promoted to Senior Professor in the Department of Mathematics, while Assistant Professor John W. Popow of the Department of Mathematics and Assistant S H I P M A T E

Professor Harry R. Keller of the Department of Foreign Languages were both promoted to Associate Professor. The advancements were effective as of July 1.

Senior Professor Lamb succeeded Senior Professor James N. Galloway, who retired on July 2, after completing thirtysix years of service with the Academy's faculty.

Born May 16, 1893 at Lafayette, Tenn., Professor Lamb attended the Franklin (Kentucky) High School, and received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Virginia in 1916, and his Master's degree in 1917. While attending the University of Virginia he was elected to the Raven Society and the National Honor Society, Phi Beta Kappa. He remained at Virginia for another year as an instructor in physics. Professor Lamb had a year's fellowship in astronomy at the Leander McCormick Observatory, and a year as professor of physics at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Ga. Appointed instructor at the Naval Academy in July, 1918, he was promoted to Assistant Professor in July, 1921; Associate Professor in July, 1928, and Professor in July, 1937.

NAVY VARSITY OFF TO WORK—The Navy varsity sheU sets out for another day of row^ing.

Navy Crews Make Grand Titles Sweep at Syracuse It was Navy all the way on Lake Onondaga on the raw, blustery afternoon that the Blue and Gold-j erseyed Midshipmen of Annapolis swept the National Intercollegiate varsity, junior varsity, and freshman eight-oar rowing championships. It was a haul imprecedented in the 85-year history of rowing at the Naval Academy, and equalled only by the University of Washington crews of 1936, '37, '48 and '50.

And with the Middies' frosting-on-thecake triumph in the varsity climax, they presented 61-year-old dean of America's rowing coaches. Rusty Callow, with his first championship since 1926, when he was at the University of Washington.

This was Navy's first varsity regatta championship since 1947 and its seventh in history. Trailing the Middle varsity all the way, and by nearly three lengths at the finish, was Princeton, a shade ahead of third-place Cornell.

Wisconsin's defending champions were foui-th, followed by California, Columbia, Washington, Stanford, Penn, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the perfect host, Syracuse, bringing up the rear.

Navy's time of 15 :08.1 in the three-mile feature was about 20 seconds better than the winner's time figured to be. Responsi16

ble, to a large extent, for the excellent time was a brisk southeaster that provided a convenient cross-tailwind, but earlier in the day, had officials wondering if they should not put off the show. The Middies utilized that wind the best, Co.xswain Dave Manring. a newly-commissioned ensign and senior member of the shell, keeping his charges at a steady 28 to 30 strokes-perminute pace. They were using a long sweeping stroke that literally drank up the water while the futile Princetons, Cornells and Wisconsins, with their short, choppy dips, were stroking 32 and 34 per minute and seemingly getting nowhere.

It was the first time this season that Navy had raced at more than two miles in competition. They had previously demonstrated their mastery at the "sprint" distances of from 2,000 meters to two miles by beating six of their rivals in dual and triangular regattas.

The lineup for Navy's history-making varsity crew was: bow, Frank Shakespeare ; No. 2, Bill Fields; No. 3, Jim Dunbar; No. 4, Dick Murphy; No. 5, Bob Detweiler; No. 6, Henry Proctor; No. 7, Wayne Frye; stroke, Ed Stevens; coxswain, Dave Manring.

Those plebe and junior varsity championships were the first for Navy since 1928 and were'scored in somewhat similar fashion, leading from start to finish.

The plebe time for its two-mile race was 10:16.9 and broke the Lake Crouse record of 10:47.0 set by the Cornell varsity five years ago. In fact, only last place Wisconsin, in the seven-team race, failed to surpass the old record. The plebes opened up a two-length lead in the first mile, and watched Cornell, Princeton and Syracuse, battling for second, close the gap to a length with a half mile to go. Urged on by Coxswain John Roberts, the plebes stepped their beat up to 42 strokes a minute and crossed the finish line nearly a length and a half ahead of second-place Cornell.

Trailing, in order, were Princeton, Syracuse, Penn, Columbia, M I T and Wisconsin.

Rowing the plebe shell were: bow, Walter Olsen; No. 2, Dan Ebert; No. 3, Roger Scott; No. 4, Bob Graue; No. 5, Jerry Watson; No. 6, Russ Hensley; No. 7, Jim B landlord; stroke, Roger Coffey; coxswain, John Roberts.

The junior varsity, undefeated in six races, had it a bit easier in their three-mile race. Stroking at a steady 30 beat the Jayvees opened a one-length lead over Washington at the first mile. Cornell took over second place at the mile and a half mark, but trailed Navy by two lengths.

Washington returned to second place after two miles and stayed there. The Middies, still at 30 strokes per minute, boosted their SHIPMATE

advantage to three lengths by the time they crossed the finish line in 15 :37.3.

Behind Navy and Washington came California, Penn, Cornell, Princeton, Columbia and Syracuse.

In the Navy Jayvee shell were: bow, Bill Quimby; No. 2, Wilson Reid; No. 3, Al Villaret; No. 4, Max Matteson; No. 5, Mauro Maltagliati; No. 6, Ed Worth; No. 7, Bill Thurman; stroke, Charles White; coxswain, Robert Jones.

Navy Crew Wins Olympic Finals by Three Lengths Navy ruled the waves on Lake Quinsigamond at Worcester, Mass. In an unprecedented show of strength by one school, the oarsmen of the Naval Academy stroked their way to victory in two of the seven major races on Lake Quinsigamond, and landed 15 men, not counting their coach.

Rusty Callow, on the United States Olympic rowing squad of 36.

Their unbeaten and apparently unbeatable eight-oar shell climaxed the glorious day for the Navy by sweeping home a three-length victor over Princeton, Washington University and California.

Only 45 minutes before, the Navy four without coxswain cruised home two lengths in front of Detroit Boat Club, Princeton University and Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia in that order to win a trip to Helsinki.

Navy's domination of the final Olympic tryouts could hardly have been more complete. Yet it almost was. The Navy pairs with cox missed landing on the team, too, by a matter of two feet. That was the margin by which Navy lost to a Stanford team which came from third place in the last 250 meters to snatch the victory. The race was so close that Olympic officials declined to announce the winner for 10 minutes while a photograph was being developed.

Another Navy crew, the four-with-coxswain, also took a second place, a length and a half behind the victorious University of Washington. Two Middies off this shell, Ed Worth and Bill Thurman, were named as alternates to the varsity eight and will accompany the team to Helsinki.

The victory by the eight-oar crew was probably the most gratifying of all the Navy victories. It was certainly the most decisive. The Middies' time of 5 :S7.7 was a record for the Lake Quinsigamond course and was only one second off the Olympic record, set by the University of California at London in 1948. Racing conAUGUST<

ditions were ideal, no wind, a sunny sky and the temperature about 85 degrees.

Unbeaten and never behind in nine previous races, the Middies had been seriously challenged for the first time this season in the semi-finals when they barely squeaked out a three-foot win over California. The Middies' pride was hurt and they showed their stuff.

They were off their marks first with California alongside and Princeton and Washington astern. At the first quarter.

Navy pulled ahead of California by a quarter-length and was rowing at 31 strokes per minute. At the half Navy had increased its beat to 33 with Washington moving into second place by a length and California falling back.

At the three-quarter mark, Navy upped it to 36 and was getting a remarkably good three-foot glide with every stroke. Washington was falling back and it was already apparent that this was to be Navy's day again.

Cox Dave Manring wasn't taking any chances. He whipped his stroke, Ed Stevens, up to 38 and the Middies churned home a victor by three lengths over Princeton, which came on to nip Washington for second place. California, which had rowed its big race in the semi-finals, was a distant last.

The Navy eight which goes to the Olympics consists of coxswain, Dave Manring; stroke, Ed Stevens; No. 7, Wayne Frye; No. 6, Henry Proctor; No. 5, Bob Detweiler ; No. 4, Dick Murphy; No. 3, Jim Dunbar; No. 2, Bill Fields; bow, Frank Shakespeare.

Among the alternates on the Olympic eight will be Middies Ed Worth and Bill Thurman.

The Navy four-without-coxswain who join them in the Olympics are stroke, Jim Welsh; No. 3, Dempster Jackson; No. 2, Jack Davis; bow, Kelly McMillan.

The Navy four, as well as the two alternates on the Olympic eight, were on the junior varsity eight which sailed through an undefeated season, climaxed by a triumph in the intercollegiate championship regatta in Syracuse.

Navy broke from the starting stake boats in third position behind Vesper and Detroit, but with a beat of 33, the Middle four took the lead at the first quarter. They kept it at 33 until there was only a quarter of the race left. Then they stepped it up to 36 and crossed the finish line comfortably ahead of Detroit Boat Club. Navy's time was 6:34.1 to Detroit's 6:39.9. •

Royono Wins Race To Bermuda The U. S. Naval Academy yawl, ROYONO, won the 675-mile Newport-toBermuda race. The yacht set the pace in 97 hours, 1 6 ^ minutes, finishing far ahead of all other contestants.

Her skipper was Lt. Frank Siatkowski, USN. Others in the crew included an Army major, an Air Force lieutenant, a Navy commander, nine ensigns and two civilians.

This was the fourth Bermuda race for the ROYONO.

Two Members of First Submarine's Crew Recall Life Aboard USS Holland Fifty-two years ago the first submarine built for the U. S. Navy was accepted and placed in commission. The two surviving members of her crew today marked the anniversary by comparing reminiscences of their duty aboard the old U S S HOLLAND, Submarine No. 1.

The two old-timers, Lt. Richard O. Williams, U S N (Ret.) and Chief Gunner's Mate Harry Wahab, USN (Ret.), both live in Annapolis. Chief Wahab, 79, hoisted the HOLLAND'S flag when she was commissioned in Newport, R. I., in 1900. Lieutenant Williams, 73, joined the ship in September, 1901, as a Chief Electrician and was attached to her for three years.

Both were volunteers, as were the two officers and five chief petty officers who comprised her crew, for duty aboard the HOLLAND was considered "hazardous."

The HOLLAND was small, only 53 feet long and 9 feet broad amidships. She was powered by a 2-cylinder 120 h.p. Otto gas engine, built in Germany in 1890, which drove her single screw at a top speed of 9 knots on the surface. She had no bow planes, no periscope, no deck guns, and only a single compartment which did not provide living or messing facilities for the crew. Her first skipper was Lt. Cdr. Harry H. Caldwell, USN, who was later succeeded by Lt. Cdr. Arthur MacArthur, USN, elder brother of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur.

The HOLLAND had a single bow torpedo tube, which fired a 3.S5-meter Mark I torpedo of 12-inch diameter. Chief Wahab has the distinction of haviijg fired the first torpedo ever fired from a U. S. submarine, when the ship was operating in Narragansett Bay in 1900. He now resides at 77 Prince George St., Annapolis.

Lieutenant Williams, who lives at 85 Market Street, Annapolis, recalls that the HOLLAND'S longest cruise was a 2j^-day run from Newport to Annapolis. This was quite an inconvenience to the crew, who had to subsist on basket lunches and sleep on newspapers or gunney sacks on the crowded battery deck. When not underway, the crew hved aboard the small gunboat SANDOVAL, a former Spanish ship captured by Admiral Dewey at Manila, which served as a tender to the HOLLAND in port.

The HOLLAND spent her winters at the Naval Academy, taking groups of four midshipmen at a time out for practice dives on Chesapeake Bay. Among the midshipmen thus trained were Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, later Commander-inChief of the Pacific Fleet during World War II and the Navy's senior submariner; Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King, wartime Chief of Naval Operations and Commander-inChief; and Fleet Adm. William F. Halsey, of Third Fleet fame. On a visit to Annapolis several years ago, Admiral Nimitz looked up the HOLLAND'S two crew members and compared memories of those midshipman cruises with them.

Each summer the HOLLAND would return to Newport for exercises with the Great White Fleet. On one occasion, President Theodore Roosevelt, then vacationing at his summer home on Long Island, ordered her to pick him up at Oyster Bay. The HOLLAND took him out for a practice dive, the only time a President of the United States has ever gone down in a (Continued on page 41) 17

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

About Membership in the Association It has recently been brought to our attention that there is a mistaken impression in the minds of some of our eligible non-members that an initiation fee is assessed to all new members of the Assodatioo unless back dues covering the past several years—or since graduation from the Academy, in the case of recent classes—are paid to date.

This impression is causing a number of prospects to refrain from becoming members of the Association and it is u p to you who are members and w h o are familiar with the facts to set these prospective members straight in this regard.

As far as our records show and certainly since the application of our present annual dues, there has been no provision for the assessment of any initiation fee to our members. Any eligible alumnus becomes a member in good standing immediately upon the payment of dues for the current year. There are n o further changes, duns for contributions and no solidtatioo for additional funds.

The dues year runs from 1 July to 30 June. The annual assessment is $5.00.

Shipmate is sent without further cost to each of our members monthly, but there is an additional charge of $1.50 for our annual REGISTER of Alumni.

Bills for dues for the current year are mailed on 1 July of each year to all members whose membership has not been renewed as of that date and a second and "final bill" is mailed to all delinquents on 15 September. Although the membership expiration date is 30 June, Shipmate is sent to all members of the preceding year through the September number in order that the subscription of procrastinators will be unbroken.

We are not only free of indebtedness but have established a trust fund in which are deposited the $100.00 membership fees of our life members (of which we now have 54), we have a substantial and growing bank balance and publish a complete report of the annual audit of o u r books after approval by our Board at its October meeting. Alumni House is self supporting and carries its proportional share of the administrative expenses of the Association.

Please do your part in giving these facts the widest possible dissemination.

We want a growing membership; the financial consideration is secondary but we do feel that every alumnus of the Naval Academy should be a continuing member of our Association.

DICK W U E S T writes that on the 43rd anniversary of 1909's graduation, he was again graduated from the Teachers College at Temple University, receiving a Master of Education degree. Dick taught there for about five years and became curious to learn what a teacher should know. He enrolled in the Teachers College and in two years had accumulated enough credits to qualif3^ him for the degree. He successfully passed the comprehensive examination and his thesis was accepted. He majored in "Secondary Education" and his minor was "Group Dj-namics." Dick said he enjoj-ed the work and found it very stimulating. Needless to say, he was "number one" chronologically; at 66 years of age he had a pretty good lead. Dick says that he does not expect to do anj' more teaching nor to engage in any gainful occupation. He and his wife plan to migrate to San Diego, in the near future, and to establish their permanent home there.

News of a happiei* vein was received in a recent announcement from "Doc" English to the effect that Robert Allen J. English, Jr., arrived in the English menage on 22 February, 1952. Congratulations Marie and Raj !

Miss Jane M. Stevens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry F. Stevens, was married on Sunday, 29 June, 1952 to Mr. Willard S. Chilcott of Pasadena, Calif. The ceremony took place at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Arlington, Va. The charming couple departed for California, enroute to duty at St. Louis, Mo., where the groom (Ens. U S N R ) has been assigned to duty.

Charlie Ashley is chesty, having just returned to Bethesda from Ft. Wayne, Ind., where he made the acquaintance of his first grandson, Robert Linsey Ashley (son of L t Linsey Ashley, USN, U S N A 1945).

The youngster was born 23 January, 1952.

Charlie is back to have more work done on his back and claims that he is going to have a gadget looking like a T V antenna perched on his head which will be wired to nadir points. To quote you, Charlie, "Don't lose your sense of humor!"

The Class of 1922 had a "Poor Man's Reunion" in the Los Angeles area on Saturday, May 24. The following members of the class were present: J. Y. Dannenberg, Capt. USN, Naval Station, Long Beach, Calif. H. D. Smith, Lt. Cdr. U S N , Ret. Maurice V. Pew, insurance executive.

A. W. Buffington, insurance executive. Miller Redfield, financial expert. W . B. Terrell, Lt. USN, Ret. and W. Glenn Jones, Cdr. USN, Ret. A very nice two-day fishing trip and outing with an overnight stop in Cataiina was enjoyed by all hands.

We regret that we could not get back to Annapolis for the scheduled reunion, but we did enjoy our own get-together.

The regular Class Luncheon of the Class of 1922 was held at the Pentagon on Tuesday, July 1, 1952, and the following were present: Raymond D. Lewis, Bill Price, Edwin P. Archibald, Jerry Stacey, Frank Akers, L. D. Whitgrove, Oliver Walker, Al Malstrom, O. A. Kneeland, Howard B. Hutchinson, Bradford Bartlett, Mike Flood, Marshall Marston, H. D.

The following officers have been elected to serve for two (2) years from 1 July, 1952: President, John B. Pearson, Jr.; vicepresident, William B. Ammon; secretary, Claude H. Bennett, Jr.; treasurer, J. Pierre Bernard; trustees (3), Gordon W. Daisley, Kenneth D. Ringle, Peter Haas.

The Claude Bennetts' oldest son, Peter, has entered the Academy with the Class of 1956. Jim, their second son, will matriculate at Princeton in September.

Excerpts from Thug's letter—"I hav.. had very little contact with any of my classmates since I bilged out of the Academy in February, 1923.

"I doubt that very many of my old classmates will remember me. I originally entered the Academy with the Class of 1922. I was turned back into the class of 1923 at the end of my youngster year because of failing grades in math. I was finally bilged out in the middle of my 1st classman year.

"I was known as 'Thug' Morgan and wrestled in the 145 lb. class. I also did some inter-class boxing. Aside from these activities and an ability to acquire demerits faster than any one else, I did not stand out as an individual.

"I graduated from Muskingum College and for many years have been teaching school in Ohio. In April of '52 I was very ill with some sort of a nervous disorder.

After recovering I thought that a change in environment would be beneficial and applied for a job as instructor with the Air Force under Civil Service.

Jaudon, Kalish, Lamberth, Lillard, Meints, Minter, O. L. Norman, Potter, Roane, Robillard, Robinson, Sinclair, Sisson, H . P. Smith, Southerland, L. H. Thomas, Stanley Williams, R. E. Wilson, Yeomans, and Worthington. This evening meeting has become so well established that it is routine for some. Perhaps many of us will keep it in mind for May, 1953, and make it our 29-}'ear reunion!

Time marches on—and with it another "first" for the Class of 1924. Ira H. N U N N , R. Adm. U S N , has been made Judge Advocate General of the Navy! All hands congratulate Ira—we're proud of him— but some of us also prefer to think Ira is awfully young for that job, rather than think for one moment that we are "getting up there" in time, or years.

Have any of you seen Tom BALL lately? We recently had news that Tom is at the Naval Hospital at Los Angeles, and that he is feeling quite well again. In fact he would like to see more visitors, and we hope all classmates in the area will try to look him up. He having been more or less on the "sidelines" these past 25 years, his life is surely an example of patience and courage for us all.

Mr. and Mrs. Hanson W . B A L D W I N have announced the .marriage of their daughter, Miss Barbara Bruce Baldwin, on Friday, June 13, at St. Matthew's P. E. Church in Bedford, New York, to Mr. Mark Winslow Potter, of Ossining, N. Y. Herman K R A F T will soon be leaving the New York area for a new assignment with BuShips in Washington. Yes, he sold that nice house in Montclair.

We leam that Ralph M I L L S has tired of life in these United States and is going into early Greek culture; at least he has been assigned to the Naval Mission to Greece.

Say, let's stand up, brace up, out of respect to our classmate who is going to Greece — after all, Ralph Mills is our anchor man. As such he shares honors with Armand MORGAN, who stood at the other end of the line. W e can't recall how well established Armand was for his No. 1 spot in the middle of first class year (competition was tough, of course), but we are dead sure that Ralph could not begin to coimt on the honor of being anchor man right up to the day our last marks were posted! Some of Ralph's competitors who almost edged him "up" to less significant standing were E. M. Murphy, J. F . McDonough (deceased), T. C. Linthicum, Art Wood and Jack Engeman. ("Say, Jack, how did you get so savvy in those last few months?")

Well, we know that Ralph has had an interesting career, begirming with prep school where we recall he did a long tour.

We remember, too, how some extra-special medicos on a preliminary exam told Ralph he did not have a chance of passing the physical exams, for entrance to U S N A .

These advices he disregarded, however, and came in with the crowd in June, 1920 and rapidly "took hold" because of his intense interest in a naval career. Later it seemed advisable for him to take advantage of a business opportunity that came his way (as we recall it, not very much was being promised in the Navy of the twenties 1), and so he resigned from active service, keeping up his commission in the Reserve.

When he returned to active service for World W a r II, he did so well and enjoyed it so much that he shifted back to U S N .

And now look at him: going to Greece!

There are not too many on active duty who have had that civilian business exAUGUST,

perience sandwiched in their naval careers —and there is only one anchor man 1 Good sailing, Ralph I Good luck—and try to send all of us post-cards from Alexandroupolis!

Here's another one who got some free publicity lately, but from the New York Herald-Tribune, if you please. Al KROOK, who was (naturally) photographed from coast to coast two years ago when he was honored by the presidency of Stone & Webster of Canada, had his picture published in the Tribune over a name other than his own on Wednesday, June 18. Just a newspaper error, we understand, but Al says he will not sue this timel

Three Twenty-Fighter roommates held a family reunion in Washington on June 29. Mclntyre Leary, now of Shreveport, La., Pete Anderson on duty in Washington, and Jimmy James on duty in Philadelphia met with their respective wives and four of the total of seven children for a brief but delightful reunion celebration.

Strangely, all but one of the offsprings of this sterling Twenty-Fighter trio are girls.

The sole male offspring, Dick James, was celebrating his last full day of freedom before being sworn in as a plebe with the Class of 1956 the following day.

After much effort to find someone who would carry the tremendous burden, it has finally been decided to proceed with the fourth Twenty-Eighter with Vic Cole as editor-in-chief. Because of the late start which has been made, it is probable that the Tiventy-Eightcr will not be ready for distribution until late summer of next year.

Reports continue to pour in complimenting the Annapolis gang on the "bang up" job done on the 20th Reunion. Everyone reports a terrific time. So, at the risk of being repetitious I want to pass again the many votes of appreciation to Jim and Peggy Collett, Bruce and Sue McCandless, Pinky and Jerye Pinkston, Modoc and Louise Sunderland, Marguerite Carpenter, and Helen deZayas. .Again our thanks to Mrs. Crawford, and the staff of the Alumni House who so ably organized the luncheon phase of the reunion. A thousand and one "WELL D O N E ' S " to you all!

The monthly luncheon was attended by the smallest number to date—ten. Frank Brumby dropped in to check up on arrangements and pass a few minutes but was unable to stay for the meal. Those of the diminishing faithful who were present were: Shell Brown, Frank Acker, Willeye Bull, T. J. Colley, Tallulah Wilson, Jerry Miller, Moe Archer, Cy Perkins, John Spangler and W. C. Johnson.

John Spangler reported on the financial status of the Reunion. It was adequately financed with sufficient funds remaining to pay for a copy of the group picture to send each classmate attending with possibly some left over for the local chapter fund.

There were comments from several, all highly complimentary on the Reunion, and a discussion of our next one. Ideas varied from Jack Homer's enthusiastic demand for the next one to be a "week" in length (not unequivocably endorsed by his good wife) to three, two, and one day affairs.

The idea was also offered of having the next one in the fall, say in conjunction with Alumni Day or some other home football game. Comments and ideas from any and all will be appreciated.

It was announced that Bill Zink was recently in an automobile accident and was seriously injured. However, he is mending and now is in the Naval Hospital at Bethesda. Dick Williams, after doing a terrific job minesweeping in Korea, also has been hospitalized. Dick is at the Naval Hospital, San Diego at present, and according to all reports is improving in good order. We all wish you both a speedy recovery, Bill and Dick.

John Spangler indicated he would be willing to discuss the advantages of belonging to the Alumni Association at a future luncheon. More should belong. It costs but S5.00 a year and this includes a year's subscription to Shipmate. There is much an active Alumni Association can do for us all. If not a member, send your dues in now to the U S N A Alumni Association, Alimini House, Annapolis, Md. June, end of the fiscal year, is a bad month, which accounts in part for the low attendance, but many fail to plan for the AUGUST,

1952

second Wednesday of each month. Remember the Washington Chapter luncheon and plan to and do attend.

Your secretary would like to compile a complete address file of everyone who was ever in the Class of 1932. We hope to be able to give wider and more advance notice of the ne.xt Reunion, but it will be impossible without addresses. Send in your addresses and the address of anyone you may know who is now out of the service and who might not see this.

On the 21st of June members of '36 in the Washington area assembled with their wives at the Army-Navy Country Club for the annual dinner dance—almost a tradition by now. Highlights were the meetings of several classmates who had not seen each other since graduation, the breathless arrival of Norm Gillette who broke away from dinner with a high government official to attend, and the late and dramatic appearance of Don Dockum— gallant and suave as always. The party was also enlivened by the nearby gettogether of the Class of '35 which offered a chance to see old friends in that class.

This makes the third child for Cdr. and Mrs. Gregg—Loula Louis, born at Bethesda; Joe, born at the Naval Hospital, Charleston, S. C , and Billy, the newest arrival, also bom at Bethesda.

Commander Gregg gives his present address as 911 Belle View Blvd., Alexandria, Va. and will be glad to hear from or see any of '37 anytime.

The Washington group of 1937 U S N A has increased its interest in the monthly luncheons and the attendance has risen in the last year from meetings on the order of 10 to 15 present to a recent average of over 20 for each luncheon.

Of course, there being 47 of the class either resident or on duty in the Washington area may have something to do with the attendance.

The meeting on May 9th was attended

by John Morse, Dick Colbert, States Mead —down from New York. His firm is doing consulting business with the government.

Frank Rydeen, J. C. Kelly, Squire Pridmore, Bill Gregg, John Johnston, Bill Eddy, Johnny Nielson, Beagle Smith, Lou Rupp—this is probably Lou's last luncheon meeting with us. He leaves within the month for England taking all of his five children with him. Russ Wallace, Skeet Gardes—Skeet is just up on a visit to the department from the Norfolk area. He is on duty at the Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Va. Jim Cresap, Jim Scales—Jim is back again in Washington for the Clayton Mfg. Co. Jim is really a resident of Pasadena, Calif, and doesn't like being away from home. Sid Bottomley, Henry Sipple, Fil Gilkeson Tom Cunningham, Ted Gibson, Jack Wadleigh, Jack Gibson, Rex Wheeler, Jack Obermeyer, Walt Phaler, Hubie Reece, Tommy Pearsall—^brought his brother as a guest.

1937 held its ISth reunion on 6 June, 1952 at the Army-Navy Club cocktails and buffet. Fifty-seven invitations were sent with more than one half being able to attend. June week festivities at Annapolis prevented Bush Bringle and Jesse Robinson from joining us. Of the group in the Norfolk area only Joe and Nancy Dodson were able to make the trip. Joe had some business that day in Washington and was able to stay over. Waffles and Becky Ingling made it up from Quantico.

I understand that Waffles when lecturing to the Marines has a banner with the naval insignia which he unfurls from his speaker's rostrum.

The Washington residents filled the number to the 61 that attended.

George works for Sperry, says he spends as much time here as in Long Island.

Bess and Jack Slaughter, Jo and Ed Spruance, Rose and Tommy Pearsall, Ray and Jack Wadleigh, Joan Thomas—will be joining Ned in the Newport, R. I. area in the next month or so where he has a destroyer.

Eleanor and Rex Wheeler, Jean and Red Woodard, Cynthia and Squire Pridmore, Lois and Hubie Reece, Frank Worth—is leaving Washington shortly to join his father's contracting business in North Carolina.

At our 13 June meeting Bill Gregg was passing out the cigars for his son William Gregg, Jr., a new arrival in the family.

Twenty of us were there so Bill will probably be out of cigars for a while.

There's not much news of a general nature to pass on this month so I'll be off for a few days leave in Tennessee. It'll take at least a week to get rid of writer's cramp after writing the last two columns!

A meeting of the Class Foundation was held on 28 June at Alumni House and Ben Martin informs me that they have written up a "blurb" concerning the Foundation which you will have received before you read this. A strong and active class is dependent upon the interest everyone has in it. We are a big class and even though we are spread fairly thin we are capable of big things if we stick together.

The campaign for new Alumni Association members is gaining momentum. Urge everybody you see to join now and get Shipmate.

I have all sorts of plans to keep the column big but I'd like for more than 15% of the class to see it. H E L P ! !

I've arranged the dope by Companies again this issue, as you can see, and indicated where certain people have special designations, such as CEC—Civil Engineer Corps; ED—Engineering Duty; and SD— Special Duty. If I've made any errors let me know. Any letters or postcards will be appreciated!

submarine. The President noted, on that occasion, that the HOLLAND'S crew looked particularly ragged, their dungarees literally rotting away. The captain explained this as a normal result of the heavy fumes that pervaded the tiny shipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;acid fumes that would ruin a pair of dungarees in short order. When told that the crew received no extra pay for their rugged duty.

President Roosevelt said he'd "take care of it," and within a few weeks a bill was passed by Congress granting them a $5 pay increase per month !'

Crew members aboard this unique craft were subjected to whatever hydrostatic pressure the craft was running under, while submerged. To govern this pressure, a free valve abaft the conning tower B. S. MORGAN, JR., (Lt. U S A F ) re- remained open constantly to allow the air quests that his address be changed to to escape into the sea. The crew could look 3499th M. T. Sq.

fumes the crew had to breathe while at sea.

Her deepest dive, as Lieutenant Williams remembers, was about 60 feet in Chesapeake Bay, just south of Kent Island. On several occasions she remained submerged overnight, while doctors studied the physical reactions of those aboard.

Her main battery, 15x6x3 feet in size, had a rated capacity of 50 horsepower for 6 hours, or ISO h.p. for 2 hours. When submerged, her engines drove her at a top speed of about 5 knots.

Compared with the large, fast fleet-type snorkel-equipped submarines of today's Navy, the HOLLAND must be considered almost primitive. She carried four air flasks, which supplied the necessary oxygen. Her single hatch was scarcely large enough for a man to squeeze throughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in fact one Congressman, who visited the submarine at Annapolis, was unable to get down the hatch to inspect the boat's interior. The tiny conning tower, equipped with three-inch slits through which the captain could see while running with decks awash, extended almost knee-high from the deck. Smoking below deck was forbidden, because of the heavy gasoline and acid fumes. The boat's angle of ascent or descent was limited to 20 degrees, beyond which the battery acid would spill out.

When told of the U S S PICKEREL'S recent surfacing at a record angle of 48 degrees.

Lieutenant Williams said, "I don't see how they did it."

In addition to her single torpedo tube, HOLLAND carried two pneumatic "dynamite guns," fixed at an angle of 30 degrees at bow and stern, flush with the deck. The guns were fired by air pressure alone, or by powder and air pressure. She carried three torpedoes.

The HOLLAND was the Navy's first serious experiment with a submersible, and the world's first motor-driven submarine. Her crew were the guinea pigs for the experiment. They proved that men could live under the trying conditions existing in such a craft; that a torpedo could be fired accurately under water, while the submarine remained almost invisible; and that the submarine had a great potential as either an ofi'ensive or a defensive weapon. At the time she was built by the Electric Boat Company at Bayonne, N. J., naval strategy viewed the submarine principally as a defensive element, and it was planned to station submarines at all major seaports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts for coast defense. Her true offensive potentialities were not realized until the Germans began their submarine operations in World War I. The HOLLAND was almost a toy, compared to the guppy subs of today and the atomic subs of tomorrow, but she was a true pioneer, and led the way for later developments in undersea warfare. Many of the principles utilized in her construction and propulsion are present in our modern submersibles.

Lt. Cdr. (later Rear Admiral) W. W. Kimball, commanding the torpedo fleet at Key West in 1898, said to the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs: "Give me six HOLLAND submarine boats, the officers and crews to be selected by me, and I will pledge my life to stand off the entire British Flying Squadron ten miles from Sandy Hook, without any aid from our fleet."

The HOLLAND is no more, but her successors are today among our most effective naval weapons. The men of the "Silent Service" carry on the proud traditions of courage and devotion to duty established by the volunteers who manned the U S S HOLLAND, our first submarine.

Greater Pittsburgh Airport, president of the Pittsburgh Aero Club, and a founder of Capital Airlines. He presented us with a verj- lively and timely account of the recent opening of the Greatest .\irport in the U. S. A. It was noted that the hotel, theater, restaurant and other ser%-ices are the verj- latest and most convenient for anjacti\-ity of its kind. The runways are designed for B-36 landings and take oflfs and currently two squadrons of lighter planes are based there. The commercial airplane usage is averaged at one everj- eight minutes for a 24-hour sequence, i l r . Ball has extended a most cordial invitation to the Alumni Chapter to hold a meeting at the Airport next fall—this is under consideration for the regular October meeting (Ladies' night also?).

The regular business was considered after Mr. Ball excused himself to attend another appointment.

A committee of Barrett, ' 2 1 ; Kelley, '38 ; Shields, '44, will investigate and report on the plans for an October meeting at the airport.

The September meeting will be on Friday, 19 September, at the Sheraton Hotel with .-Archibald, '22, in charge of arrangements.

The Amendments and Revisions to the By-Laws for the Pittsburgh Chapter were rejected en toto by the Chapter.

The Treasurer reported that he is mailing notices of dues to all members of the Chapter. (Nine only are full}' pai(J for 1952, and thirt>--five'fully paid for 1951).

He reported also that the last Christmas part}- for the Midshipmen cost the Chapter S402.19—in this connection, the following is quoted from C. E. Coney, National Secretary : "You are absolutely correct in that the party for the midshipmen which is given each year by the Pittsburgh Chapter has become traditional for I know- that the midshipmen themselves certainlj' anticipate with great pleasure their leave period in Pittsburgh when this party takes place.

More power to you and to the members of the Pittsburgh Chapter for your ventures in putting this on and I hope that you will be able to continue this good work for the -Association."

The meeting adjourned at about 11 P. M. Special.Notice—USNA Alumni Cresswell S. Shoemaker, '24, has just returned to the city after an extended severe illness. He is still unable to move about (or out of his home) but spirits are fine and full of hope for the future. Don Kelley and I figured you might like to drop in on him, if convenient—address, 6821 Edgerton Ave., Pittsburgh; phone, Emerson 1-1571.

SAN DIEGO V. Adm. Harold M. (Beauty) Martin, Commander Aircraft Pacific Fleet, who recently returned from a year as Commander Seventh Fleet in Asiatic waters, gave his personal story of naval operations in the Korean war to the members and guests of the San Diego Chapter at the June meeting at the Naval Station. The attendance of 102 included active, resers'e, retired, and former officers of all ranks representing many Naval Academy classes.

After the address many members asked questions and .Admiral Martin, who is of the Class of '19, answered very clearly and capably. This event marked the conclu-sion of a notable series of meetings wherein the top Xa\'y and Marine leaders in Korea 44

have addressed the local chapter. The speakers have included R. .\dm. James K. Doyle, on amphibious landings, V. Adm. Arthur D. Struble, on Seventh Fleet operations, and Maj. (jen. Ohver P. Smith, on the retreat from the Chosin Reser\-oir.

Adm. Jonas H. Ingram, President, presided. A showing of hands indicated that the chapter includes a large number who are members of the national association and subscribe to Shipmate. Admiral Ingram annoimced that he will give up the gavel as President in the fall.

SAN FRANCISCO The San Francisco branch of the Naval .\cademy Alumni Association held its June meeting at the Commissioned Officers' Mess, Treasure Island, Calif. E. P. Burton, '28, presided in the absence of our president, G. C. Miller, '21.

It was announced that the new officers for the coming year will be seated at the July meeting. .\mong the thirty-four members and guests present was Dick White, a former San Francisco prep football and basketball star, who is a new member of the Class of '56 at the Academ}'. We expect to hear more of Dick in the coming years.

Our guest speaker was Mr. W. C. Twitchell, chief project engineer for the Radiation Laboratorj' at the University of California. He traced the development of the Cyclotron, and its growth into the Bevratron, illustrating the need for such a tinit and promising the development of even higher capacitj- machines for the future. Mr. Twitchell then hit upon a subject of great interest to his audience, that of the business end of this immense project. All raw products and fabricated items are based on competitive bids. They even maintain their own shops, keeping them at all times on a commercial basis, in line with outside shops. All in all, it was a most comprehensive review on how this great industrial undertaking is working towards our future demands, whether they be needed for war and peace.

SEATTLE The regular and final meeting of the 1951-52 season of the Naval Academy Alumni .Association was held at the Commissioned Officers' Mess, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, on Thursday, June 5. Since this was a social meeting, the minutes of the previous meeting were not read and no business was carried on.

Seattle members, their wives and guests enjoyed the trip from" the Seattle side in barges provided by .Adm. Allen E. Smith and Capt. Owen Humphries. Guests were greeted upon arrival by .Adm. H. E. Haven, Commander, Naval Base, Bremerton, and Captain Humphries. Following a cocktail hour, a delicious buffet dinner was sened. President Hubert M. McLellan spoke a few words expressing thanks from

the Seattle Branch to Captain Humphries and the Bremerton group for a most etijoyable and successful affair.

Games were held and the evening concluded with a return boat trip to Seattle.

Social Security Entitlements of Retired Officers of Armed Forces About 1950. the Congress granted a constructive monthly $160.00 toward Social Security to officers and men of the armed forces for World War service.

However, data from Career Compensation Act and from Social Security interpretations seem to make this grant a\'ailable to Ensigns and Lieutenants ( j g ) , but only after 14 years' service.

Lieutenants, but only after 22 years' service.

Lieutenant Commanders and Commanders, but only after 28 years' service.

Captains and all Admirals, but only after 30 years' service.

If World W a r II service contributes to longe\-it}- for maximum pay on the retired list then Social Security benefits are not granted.

Those retired Rear Admirals who are entitled to and receive Social Security benefits, later will be allowed burial expenses and their sur\-ivors certain allowances.

But, applicants for their Social Security numbers, the resulting benefits and payments viust apply in person. Every day's delay involves the forfeiture of benefits, which can be dated back for only six months from the date of application.

Ruggedness comes straight off a drawing board, as the engineers at Aeroproducts will tell you.

A'eroprop Ruggedness Starts with

For an idea, drawn in all its details, was the beginning of a great new Aeroprop—the first propeller to successfully handle the enormous power of turbo-prop engines. Yes, from this drawing, from this design, came the ruggedness of the dual-rotation Aeroprop for planes of near-sonic speed.

But the design produced much more than ruggedness. It produced the reliability and precise control which resulted in having the Aeroprop specified for the U. S. Navy's XP5Y, R3Y, A2D, and the A2J. This great turbine propeller is reversible—cuts landing runs safely and smoothly. Electronic governing and synchronizing circuits control turbine speeds automatically. And Aeroprop's self-contained hydraulic system makes installation and maintenance a simple matter.

Aeroproducts engineers who are among America's foremost propeller experts—are available to you for constiltation on any propeller apphcation in the subsonic, transonic, or supersonic ranges. Your inquiries will receive prompt attention.
