Many old-time naval officers, some of whom began their careers in the days of wooden ships, returned last month to their old "school on the Severn," the historic U. S. Naval Academy, to mingle with their successors of the atomic age during the Academy's annual Homecoming celebration, the 107th anniversary of the Academy's founding.

Over 2,100 alumni and their families had registered in advance and at least 500 more showed up to equal the figures of those attending last year's Homecoming.

This reunion, like last year's, was a starspangled weekend, as 141 flag officers were among those on hand. Of the 141 flag officers registered, two were Fleet (five star) Admirals; eight four-star Admirals; 21 Vice .\dmirals (three stars) ; 95 Rear Admirals (two s t a r s ) ; 13 Commodores; one Major General and one Brigadier General of the Marine Corps.

141 Flag Officers Among Returning Alumni

The fleet admirals attending were William D. Leahy, Class of 1897, who was the wartime Chief of Staff to the late President Roosevelt; and William F. Halsey, Class of 1904, famed World War H Third Fleet Commander.

The four-star admirals included William H. Standley, Class of 1895, former U. S. Ambassador to Russia; Arthur J. Hepburn, Class of 1897; Henry K. Hewitt, Class of 1907; Thomas C. Kinkaid, Class of 1908; Harry W. Hill, Class of 1911, former Superintendent of the Naval Academy (19S0-S2); Louis E. Denfeld, former Chief of Naval Operations, and DeWitt C. Ramsey, former Commander-in-Chief, Pacific and U. S. Pacific Fleet, both of the Class of 1912; and Russell S. Berkey of the Class of 1916.

1912 NAVAL ACADEMY ALUMNUS "SIGNS LOG ' FOR HOMECOMING....

Col. Raymond G. Payne, USA (Ret.), signs the register for the U. S. Naval Academy's annual Alumni Homecoming. Looking on are Mrs. Payne and Miss Phebe Jordan, one of the four members of the Alumni Association's clerical staff who "logged in" Academy alumni. Colonel Payne, a member of USNA, Class of 1912, met widi many of his former classmates, including Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, USN (Ret.), former Chief of Naval Operations.

School moved to California last winter. A total of 55 new classrooms has been added. The biggest addition is the new extension to the mess hall, which can now provide for as many as 5,000 midshipmen at one sitting.

The highlight of the Homecoming Weekend was when Navy's undefeated football team defeated William and Mary 14-0 in Thompson Stadium. Adding a nautical flavor to the Homecoming were the visits of the escort anti-submarine destroyers USS

EASTON

and

BEALE;

the

sub-

marine USS DIABLO, landing ship USS LSM-297 and the small seaplane tender U S S SHELIKOF. These ships were open to the general public during the weekend, and gave many of the retired alumni, who are out of touch with the Navy's post-war developments, the opportunity to inspect (Official U. S. Navy Photo) various types of modern fighting ships.

3540 Davis St., N.W., Washington, D. C., who graduated over 70 years ago wdth the Class of 1882. He retired from active duty in 1921.

Of the Academy's 101 graduating classes, 56 had members registered for the Homecoming. The oldest represented was the Class of 1882, which graduated only 37 years after the Academy's founding.

The "old grads" had an extensive program in store for them during their threeday weekend. It was planned by the Academy's Welcoming Committee under Capt.

John F. Davidson, Head of the Department of English, History and Government, to make the visit of the alumni an interesting one by enabling them to see the many changes of routine, additions to the physical plant and improvements in teaching and training aids which have taken place since they were midshipmen.

The Naval Academy isn't what it used to be and probably never was just what most of the alumni remember it to have been. In the past 100 years things really have changed at the "Naval School" on the Sevem. For example, in 1850, when the Academy was five years old, there were only 87 midshipmen, three professors and 42 officers; in 1925 the Academy expanded to 1,830 midshipmen, 60 professors and 165 officers; and today, with the second largest Brigade of Midshipmen in the Academy's history, the "Old School" has 3,735 midshipmen, 195 civilian professors and 394 officers.

Even the "old grads" who came back for last year's Homecoming found many changes have taken place in the past 12 months. In the past year many new projects have been completed. During the summer m6nths the Academy had a "facelifting." Many of the academic buildings have undergone modernization and improvements. The Supply and Public Works Offices in the Photo Lab and Training Aids Library have moved to Halligan Hall, which was vacated when the Postgraduate

By M. T. Gibson, 1930 I have enjoyed the articles in your magazine very much, and while the stay that I enjoyed on the Severn was short for me to have become a naval expert, I am very well impressed with the technical articles, even though most are over my head.

If you are sincere in wishing to lighten the atmosphere with a little news of life in Brazil, that is one thing that I really feel qualified to talk about and I may find myself talking too much.

.\dmiral Gearing may have found a good way to "Escape from Inflation" in Madrid, but that is not the experience that I have had here. The mere fact that the reduction of purchasing power of the Cruzeiro has managed to outrun the salary that . is willing to allow for the little work that I do for them has not killed my interest in the country or in the people who make this their home.

The advice that I would give to a young

man coming to Brazil for an extended visit, or possibly to establish himself here permanently, would vary considerably, depending upon the part of the country to which he would come, and also upon the kind of life that he would expect to lead, as Brazil has such a complex economy, extending from the north of the equator to temperate zones in the south, that almost anything can be found.

The cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are in an aggressive stage of commercial and industrial development, full of beautiful highways, modernistic buildings, fast elevators, and fish-tail Cadillacs, but these modern facilities rub shoulders with some poverty-stricken areas. There is a general shortage of all imported items due to lack of sufficient foreign exchange to take care of all of the needs of the country. In spite of this shortage, new buildings are going up at all sides, factories are opening for the manufacture of everything imaginable. Inflation is stronger in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro than most

places in the world, and probably equal to any place, unless it might be Venezuela at the moment. A few blocks from the Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro you will run into the "favelas," whidi are kerozene tin and palmleaf huts on the side of the hills, where "macumba," and other forms of voodooisms are practiced by the blacks and mulattoes The agricultural development in the states of Sao Paulo and Parana is making great strides, and only in recent years have the land owners become conscious of soil conservation, fertilization and crop rotation, so that the agricultural production is increasing substantially, although increased purchasing power of tlie people and higher standards of living make the economy of the country one of "shortage," with complex municipal, state, and federal governmental controls and restrictions, which are designed to assure more equitable distribution of the available materials.

tributes some to the wealth of the country in the export trade, although coffee continues to be the backbone of this trade.

The livestock production of the country is insufficient to meet the basic consumer demands for meat and for some years exports have been prohibited, prices have been controlled, and movement of meat products closely supervised by the government.

The northern part of the.state of Parana is opening up extensively with mechanical equipment for land clearing and the coffee production there is fantastic in relation to the production on the old established fazendas in the state of Sao Paulo. There are many aggressive small cities blooming in the middle of the forests in that state, but railroad transportation is inadequate, roads are in very poor state of conservation, specially during the rainy season, so that the movement of the finished product is a serious problem.

There is a complete lack of a unified system for financing the producers all over the country, with the result that much of the production and all of the commerce are in the hands of the middle-men, which is reflected in long margins for the intermediary.

The people of Brazil are very similar to the people in the States in that they are made up of practically every nationality in the world, although the country is basically Portuguese. The different nationalities have not been assimilated to the same extent as they are in the States, with the result that there are definite areas which will be predominantly German, others

where they are practically all Italian, etc.

Until the time of the last war, there were many families of several generations born in the country, whose knowledge of the Portuguese language was very limited, and their knowledge of the country, outside of their little community, practically nil.

Rio Grande do Sul is essentially an agricultural and livestock state, settled by Portuguese and Spaniards in the livestock areas, and by Germans and Italians in the agricultural areas. This state has not been affected to the same extent as Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro by the aggressive industrial and commercial development, and the tempo is much more like rural life in the States than will be found in the other states.

The northern part of the country is divided into two general areas, one: the dry northeastern section, which is sparsely populated, except along the coast, and which operates on a deficit economy, producing some cotton, salt, carnauba, and cocoa. Beyond the hump you come into the rich valley of the Amazonas, which has rubber and lots of water, and pests, with a very limited economic development.

While it is a land to stimulate the imagination, our children may live to see development in that area.

The three large interior states of Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, and Goias are being opened up slowly for cattle raising and agriculture, but transportation is such a deterring factor that at the present time they are more an investment for the future; similar to the western part of the States in the early part of the last century, although the potentialities there are great.

and anyone with a pioneer spirit willing to submit to certain hardships and inconveniences can do very well.

The average American arriving in Brazil for a commercial or industrial firm will land either in Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, where he will find the industrial and commercial hustle of Chicago and Pittsburgh, interwoven with the social and cultural atmosphere of France and Italy. The mixture of the two makes a very complex society.

Sao Paulo is the city to which most of the commercial and industrial firms send their employees as it is the center of that phase of the life of the country, so I shall start by covering it first.

The new arrival will be greatly impressed at first with the new and large modern office and apartment buildings, the wide streets and avenues with all the trees and flowers, even in the business districts.

The number of buildings in the process of construction always amazes me, as everywhere that you turn the air seems full of the wooden shell that protects (?) the pedestrian from falling brick and mortar, as soon as the reinforced concrete framework has been completed.

In spite of the amount of construction in the past ten years, the new arrival is to find that he is lucky to get a room in a good hotel unless he had a reservation in advance.

Once past the alfandega (customs) the guest is subjected to no other inconveniences of police or immigration authorities that are of any consequence, and (Continued on page 21)

MM mmm But West Point Leads With Three Nominees And One President

By Cdr. Louis Gulliver, USN (Ret.) Naval Academy alumni have a record of two tries and two misses in the race for nomination for President of the United States. .A.dm. George Dewey, United States Naval Academy graduate, 1858, seemed at first to have the nomination sewed up in 1899 when he came home to a hero's welcome following his victory over the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay. Then, sixteen years later, John W. Weeks, who graduated in the Class of 1881, ran second in the balloting against the successful nominee, Charles Evans Hughes, former Governor of New York.

In the case of Admiral Dewey, he withdrew from the race before the delegates met in the Democratic convention—doubtless a wise decision. The Admiral had little more to commend him to the delegates than the fact that as a hard-hitting fleet commander, he had led his ships to the first fleet victory in the history of the U. S. Navy.

In contrast, John W. Weeks was better qualified for the Presidency than was Governor Hughes, a stem and austere prosecutor, who won the nomination with votes to spare. John Weeks served in the House of Representatives in the 59th through the 62nd Congress and after that was United States Senator from Massachusetts. A man of character, brains and drive, his preconvention record was equal to the best.

He was in fact better experienced in politics and business than was his rival. Governor Hughes.

Admiral Dewey, whether by design or for other reasons, deferred his arrival in New York from Manila until September 1899 (one year and five months after his victory). Immediately the cry went up from all and stmdry everywhere: "Dewey for President."

Significantly, this "cry" came not from political leaders, either Republican or Democratic. They decided to sit tight and see. In the Republican party, the Admiral from Republican Vermont, could not hope to defeat incumbent President William McKinley for renomination. Contemporaneous newspaper records made no mention of Democratic leaders rushing to ride the Dewey bandwagon.

Nevertheless, public support for "Dewey for President" held firm even as late as three months before the delegates convened for naming their choice and Dewey persisted in refusing to change his stand: "I am not a candidate. It is useless to argue" —this as late as January, 1899.

Soon thereafter, the Dewey skyrocket showed indications of coming down. The Outlook, a well-accepted magazine, then stated: "The candidacy of Commodore Dewey in its present form will not be taken seriously." Not long after this. Admiral NOVEMBER,

1952

Dewey capitulated to an interviewer of the then powerful New York World and it was seen that the sea hero's case was almost hopeless.

Dewey stated as follows to the World: "1 must definitely define my position. When I arrived in New York from Manila last September, I said then that nothing could induce me to be a candidate for the Presidency. Since then, I have had the leisure and inclination to study it and have reached a different conclusion, inasmuch as so many assurances have come to me from my countrymen that I would be the acceptable candidate. If the American people want me for the high office of President, I will be only too willing to serve them in the highest position in the Nation. Who would refuse?"

Then the great Dewey of the fleet spoke the tragic words: "Since I have studied the matter, I am convinced that the office of President is not such a difficult one— the President's duty being mainly to execute the laws. If I should be chosen to the exalted office of President I would execute all orders faithfully as given me by my superiors (Congress)."

When the interviewer pressed him to state his political platform, the commodore replied: "I think I have said enough at this time—possibly too much."

Other newspapers later quoted Dewey thus: "It is easy enough to be President.

All you have to do is obey orders from Congress. I have been obeying orders all my life."

Previously, the solid magazine Review of Reviews had stated: "If the presidential election had been last year, no one would have dared run against Commodore Dewey.

But now enthusiasm for a hero has cooled.

The voters are not now in a mood to elect a hero, regardless of politics. Ecstatic hero worship is not continuous. Not even Washington or Lincoln were idols more than a few days."

Senator Bacon said: "While Dewey was a hero, he was a dangerous presidential possibility, but since he became a human being he has lost his hold on hero worshippers."

Soon the newspapers became harsh. The Minneapolis Journal stated: "Man Overboard." Another newspaper had a headline: "Political Leaders Laugh at Dewey. Entire Capital Laughs at Former Hero."

The St. Paul Pioneer Press published a cartoon showing Dewey discarding his civilian clothes for his naval uniform and the words: "Most everyone thinks this suit looks best on me."

When Admiral Dewey died in 1917, the Army and Navy Journal's obituary said in part: "Admiral Dewey had been widely

mentioned for the Democratic presidential nomination for 1900 but this waned after the stir caused by the transfer of the house given him by the American people and he never afterward became a political figure.

The action also prevented completion of the plan to perpetuate in New York the Dewey Arch for which $200,000 had been publicly subscribed." For the record it should be noted that on the Dewey Arch were to be inscribed these gallant words: "To the glory of the American Navy and in greeting to our Admiral Dewey, victor in the battle of Manila Bay, a grateful City relying on their valor has built this arch."

It should be explained that Admiral Dewey had been a widower during twentyeight years preceding his arrival in New York in 1899. In November of that year he married the widow of Gen. W. B. Hazen, U. S. Army. In this connection, the Army and Navy Journal stated: "Dewey deeded over to her the house given to him by the American people. This caused unfavorable comment and while criticism was at its height, Dewey and his wife left the $50,000 house and went to live in her former home."

The pre-convention campaign for the Republican nomination in 1916 had none of the hero worship that marked the venture of George Dewey into national politics. John W. Weeks was duly placed in nomination and thereafter he got the votes of 105 delegates, hailing from twenty-five states. Governor Hughes, however, had the required backing and was nominated safely. In the presidential election, he was acclaimed the winner over Woodrow Wilson, until the next day, when the count showed that Hughes had been nosed out in California. It was that close.

Yet the opinion persisted that John Weeks, who was urbane and smiling while Hughes was solemn and unbending, might well have won California and the election.

Weeks had all that was needful to be a worthwhile President.

It is often overlooked that one West Pointer, long forgotten in politics, was the candidate of the Democratic party in the election of 1864. He was Gen. George B. McClellan, a bitter personal as well as a political rival of Lincoln.

Before the election, Lincoln wrote, "It seems exceedingly probable that this administration will not be re-elected." The electorate decided otherwise. Possibly many voters took no stock in McClellan's characterization of the President: "President Lincoln is nothing more than a well-meaning baboon. He is the original gorilla.

What a specimen to be at the head of our affairs now!"

No West Pointer has ever been more in error.

Actives Versus Reserves Matters of Pay Special Pays Tax Exempt Retired Pay?

Promotion—Davis Amendment Rider To Be Amended With Careers at Stalce

By Fred Lardner, '22 The approach of each new Congress emphasizes the problems confronting officers, active and retired. A review of what a previous Congress has done strengthens our conviction that enactment of legislation dealing with officer personnel is largely a matter of luck. In the years since the end of World War II, Congress has had to deal with a hurly-burly of legislation, big bills and bills not so big, first in preparation for peace and then again in preparation for war. Most bills of lesser importance have required pushing to be enacted into law. But there is a limit to the pushing which can be done in favor of legislation beneficial to officer personnel of the armed services or to all personnel.

Officers on active duty have no one to speak for them, except the Defense Department. Unfortunately, the pressure and publicity developed in favor of some of the proposed benefits to personnel initiated by this department or the person or persons presenting such benefits have rubbed key members of Congress the wrong way.

Currently there are legislative problems concerning promotion and pay facing active duty officers. Can they do anything, personally, about them? The law states that active duty officers can not lobby. A lobbyist has been defined, broadly and inaccurately (in our opinion), as a person who appears before Congress openly or uses influence behind the scenes in favor of or against any legislation.

Recently we have received letters from readers asking if there is anything that service wives and friends can do in behalf of officers. We do not think there is any legal bar to such activity, but we do not know for sure. In the next issue we will report more fully on it, as well as on the possible effect of the national election on service personnel legislation.

Actives Versus Reserves

There seems to be a little competition— probably a very little, comparatively—between active duty and retired officers for favorable Congressional consideration of their various problems.

Perhaps this development was inevitable.

A senator whom we know fairly well complained to us that there is too much service personnel legislation, that Congressional consideration of it has detracted from what he said was more important legislation.

More than a few members of Congress may share that view. If this is the case, it is no wonder that so few service personnel bills are enacted.

Let's illustrate the competition mentioned above. Actually, of course, active duty officers can't compete with anyone for Congressional attention. But . . . well, 8

Cadet-Midshipman Service

a young officer, a lieutenant, is talking to a retired officer.

"You fellows should be more interested in situations affecting us," says the older man.

"You may be right, sir," the young man replies. "But right now I'm not thinking of what might happen to me when I retire.

I'm wondering if I can stick it out. You fellows were retired as Admirals, Captains, or, at the least, Commanders. I may be a Lieutenant ten years."

We dislike to mention the threat of the Davis amendment, Section 634, of the Defense Department's 1953 appropriations bill.

But, unless or until the law is changed, the threat is there, even though it may have been exaggerated in Congressional hearings.

A retired officer of sixty, say, is talking to an active duty officer in his early fifties.

"But I have ten years to go," says the active duty officer, "and problems of my own."

"But, you says the retired officer, "you'll be retired some day."

Let's stick together, fellows. You're all in the same boat.

Matters of Pay

The new Congress will receive a request from the Defense Department for another increase in armed service pay. The following statement by Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Personnel, explains the situation.

"Last year the Department of Defense, with the concurrence of the Bureau of the Budget and the approval of the President," Mrs. Rosenberg said, "proposed to the Congress a ten-percent across-the-board increase in the pay allowances of members of the Armed Forces to compensate them for the increase in the cost of living since 1949.

"In 1949 the scales of military pay and allowances were established by the Congress, based upon the report of a civilian commission of independent experts headed ' by Mr. Charles R. Hook. The Commission reported, after a long and exhaustive study of all aspects of the problem. Its recommended pay scales were based upon the cost of living current in 1949. The actual pay scales established by the Congress in 1949 were slightly less than those recommended by the Hook Commission.

"One of the principal recommendations of the Commission was that the pay and allowance of members of the Armed Forces should be adjusted to reflect any changes in the cost of living after 1949. It was this generally approved recommendation that

prompted the Defense Department to propose a ten-percent across-the-board increase last year.

"The increase granted by the Congress this past May averaged less than six percent and thus our men and women in uniform were unable to meet the rising cost of living. Further, this cost has continued upward and is now almost three percent higher than last year, making the total rise since 1949 over 12 percent.

"Unless the cost of living sharply and substantially declines before January 1, 1953, the Defense Department plans to propose to the President an adjustment in service pay and allowances early in the next Congress to reflect the difference in the amount that the cost of living has increased since 1949 over and above the pay adjustment granted last year."

Special Pays

A new civilian commission has begun a study of incentive-hazardous duty and special pays, including combat pay, flight pay, overseas allowances and pay for physicians and dentists.

This is the first time this subject has been assigned to a civilian commission.

Members of the commission a r e : Lewis L. Strauss, of Rockefeller Brothers, chairman; Don G. Mitchell, president of Sylvania Products; Harold Moulton, former president of Brookings Institution; John Thomas Cahill, member of the New York law firm of Cahill, Gordon, Zachry and Reindel; and Joseph Campbell, vice president of Columbia University.

The commission was established by Secretary of Defense Robert A. Lovett at the request of Senator Richard Russell (Dem., Ga.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

A permanent staff headed by R. Adm. J. L. Womble, USN, will assist the commission.

Tax Exempt Retired Pay?

The Retired Officers' Association has asked Congress for a law exempting all the compensation of retired members of the armed services from taxation.

The Congressional Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation asked the Association for recommendations regarding improvement of internal revenue taxes and administration.

"Under existing law," the Association replied, "retirement pay of officers, rendered inactive by reason of physical disability, received under laws in effect prior to the Career Compensation Act of 1949 (2)7 u s e 231 et seq.) is excluded from gross income for income tax purposes unSHIPMATE

der Section 22 (b) (5) of the Internal Revenue Code. All or a portion of such retirement pay, received under the provisions of the Career Compensation Act of 1949, is excluded from gross income for income tax purposes, depending on the degree of physical disability established as provided in that Act. "There is, however, no provision under present law for the exclusion from taxation of any portion of the retirement pay of retired personnel, retired for reasons other than physical disability.

"Under existing law, some pensions and annuities are not taxed as income to the recipients. This is true of annuities received under the Railroad Retirement Act and under the Social Security Act. Veterans' pensions are excluded by statute (49 Stat, at Large 607). Portions of the payments received by annuitants imder the Civil Service Retirement Act, and of certain other annuities, are not taxed under the so-called 3 percent rule.

"Most of the retired personnel of the uniformed services have no income other than their retirement pay for their economic existence. This is especially true of the aged and infirm members of this group.

The plight of this fixed income group has become intolerable in view of the 91 percent increase in the cost of living since 1940 (Consumers' Price Index, Bureau of Labor Statistics, August IS, 1952).

"The retirement pay of retired personnel of the imiformed services is comparable to the annuities of annuitants under the Civil Service Retirement Act. While the latter is based on a contributory retirement system and the former is not, the active duty pay scales of the imiformed services have been mcdntained at levels which took this circumstance into consideration. This fact has long been established and was recognized in the recommendations of the Hook Commission and in the legislation which became the Career Compensation Act of 1949, enacted by the 81st Congress on the basis of the Commission's report.

"The Retired Officers' Association recommends that any extension of additional tax exclusions, applicable to pensions and annuities, be applied equally and include provision for the exclusion of retirement pay of retired members of the uniformed services from gross income for income tax purposes."

Promotion—Davis Amendment

Apparently the big current worry of Regular Navy officers, particularly the younger officers, is the Davis amendment to the 1953 Defense Department appropriations bill, Section 634 of the bill. "This provides specific limits for the number of officers in each grade. Its announced purpose was to curtail promotions to higher grades.

A reader writes: "After reading your latest column in Shipmate, I was slightly dazed and thoroughly disgusted. How did it happen? It seems almost unconstitutional that a rider on the appropriations bill can almost completely nullify another law of almost five years' standing. It certainly was the worst blow to my morale that I have ever experienced.

"We have in this department four regular espoused career men—2 LTs and 2 LTJGs. The JGs are both Academy 48A (myself included). The 2 LTs just recently made LT, and we had hoped to make it this coming June. Section 634 at one stroke has made all four of us potential ex-career NOVEMBER,

men. Who wants to be a LT for the next 10 to 20 years?

"It certainly seems like false economy to jeopardize the healthy morale of our Officer Corps. What did Congress hope to accomplish? The Officer Personnel Act took years of careful investigation and planning before it was presented and passed as law, yet an ill-conceived, and it seems prejudicial, rider with probably only one man's short-sighted thinking nullifies the former."

This correspondent asks three questions: (1) Can you explain a little more how this will affect the new LTs? How many will be reverted and when? What will be the Bureau's policy toward future proposed promotions? Will they proceed with present policies assuming that there will be no repetition of Section 634 for fiscal year 1954?

the amendment. The bill became law largely by accident. The House approved it without a complete understanding of its effect. The House disapproved a second super-carrier. The Senate banned the Davis rider and approved a second super-carrier.

There were other differences between the House and the Senate versions of the 1953 appropriations bill. In trying to compromise these differences in a hurry. Senate conferees were forced to accept the Davis amendment in return for House approval of a second big aircraft carrier.

Academy's First Class Lecture Series The first three in a series of ten lectures devoted to world affairs for the Naval Academy's 933 first class midshipmen were held during the end of September.

The former Ambassador to Russia, Adm. Alan G. Kirk, USN (Ret.), who is presently the Director of the Psychological Strategy Board, opened this series with a lecture on "Russia" at 8 p.m., Tuesday, September 23, in Mahan Hall.

New York University Professor James Bumham's lecture on "What Is Communism?" was held September 26; while the third of this series, "The Russian Threat in the Aliddle East," by Mr. Edwin M. Wright of the State Department was presented on September 30.

This annual series of special lectures on world problems was instituted two years ago as a supplement to the Naval Academy's formal course work in international affairs. The purpose of the series is to provide the midshipmen of the graduating class with a fuller appreciation of the vital issues of our times in the field of international affairs, to define these issues sharply, to point up the interests and dominant thinking of the nations with which we must reckon, and to clarify the immediate and long-range policy of the United States and its role of leadership for peace in the world.

The emphasis of the current series of lectures is on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its policies, and their implications for the United States. It is the considered opinion of the Superintendent that "we should endeavor to give our future officers as full an understanding as possible of these matters."

M I L itOJOENY Vice Adiniral C. Turner Joy, USN, '16 Superintendent then proceeded to the nevirly enlarged mess hall, as luncheon guests of the 3700-man Brigade of Midshipmen.

Following luncheon the group was divided into two parties, each of which toured various academic buildings and the Chapel and Crypt of John Paul Jones and at 3 :30 p.m. reviewed the dress parade at Worden Field. Their ladies were also guests of the Superintendent at this parade, the fourth since the current academic year began.

A reception in the Superintendent's quarters was given for the attaches and their ladies from 4:30 to 5 :30 p.m.

Accompanying the group were R. Adm. Richard F. Stout, USN, and Capt. Floyd F. Ferris, USN. Both are representatives of the Chief of Naval Operations.

Foreign military and naval attaches have visited the Naval Academy as a group for

many years. Last year 61 made the visit on October 31.

Brazilian Minister Of Marine Tours Naval Academy The Naval Academy was host to V. Adm. Renato A. Guillobel, Brazilian Minister of Marine, and six ranking Brazilian naval officers who arrived here Wednesday, October 8, for an official tour of the Academy.

Naval Academy Museum Receives Historic Relics A Revolutionary W a r flintlock swivel gun, a 99-year-old copy of Naval Academy regulations, a historical naval scrapbook and log, and a miniature Napoleonic coach were among the many valuable relics and mementoes which have recently been presented to the Museum of the U. S. Naval Academy.

The small flintlock swivel gun with shoulder rest was donated by the Maryland Academy of Sciences in Baltimore through its Director, Mr. Thomas King. This early American gun, which has been added to the Museum's collection of Revolutionary War arms, was taken from one of Commo. Joshua Barney's barges that were abandoned at Pig Point on the Patuxent River when the crews were forced to leave and march to the defense of Washington, D. C. "Revised Regulations of the Naval Academy 1853," which is in excellent condition considering its age and the oldest copy of Naval Academy Regulations in the Museum's possession, was donated by Col. William W. Belcher, U S N (Ret.), of 1420 26th St., W., Bradenton, Fla. Mrs. John B. Sebree of La Jolla, Calif., presented the scrapbook and log kept by her father-in-law, R. Adm. Uriel Sebree, USN, from 1907 to 1910.

"This scrapbook and log," according to Captain Wade DeWeese, U S N (Ret.), Director of the Naval Academy Museum, "is a gold mine for the historian or student of naval history." Captain DeWeese added that he had never seen a more complete scrapbook or one so meticulously kept.

During the period covered by the log and scrapbook. Rear Admiral Sebree was in command of the Armored Cruiser Squadron, the Special Service Squadron and the U. S. Pacific Fleet.

The miniature Napoleonic coach was loaned by its builder, Lt. Eugene F. Dmuchowski, U S N . The design is made from two famous coaches used by the Emperor Napoleon, one at his coronation, the other NOVEMBER,

Cuban Officers Study U. S. Naval Academy Teaching Methods Capt. Guillermo Driggs Guerra, Director of the Cuban Naval Academy, and two members of his staff visited Annapolis for one week to familiarize themselves with the U. S. Naval Academy curriculum and training methods.

Captain Driggs was accompanied by Lt. Cdr. J. M. Goicoohea, Executive Officer of the Cuban Academy, and Lt. M. R. Gonzales Casano, one of its professors.

Of primary interest to the Cuban officers was the great variety of training aids used in teaching U. S. midshipmen. The U. S. Naval Academy makes extensive use of cutaways and scale working models of machinery, electronic devices and ordnance, in addition to charts, motion pictures and projection slides. While here, the Cubans had the opportunity to witness the production and utilization of those devices.

During the first four days of their visit, they were introduced to the various academic departments: Marine Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Ordnance and Gunnery, Seamanship and Navigation, Aviation, Mathematics, English, History and Government, and Foreign Languages.

Finishing the week's study. Captain Driggs and the two members of his staff were presented with mementoes of their visit on September 16. Midn. Cdr. M. Staser Holcomb made a short speech in fluent Spanish and presented Captain Driggs with a mahogany-framed aerial view of the U. S. Academy, a Navy pennant, and a scrapbook. Held in the office of Capt.

Charles A. Buchanan, USN, Commandant of Midshipmen, the brief ceremony concluded with a parting address by Captain Driggs, in which he expressed his appreciation to the Brigade of Midshipmen. A small silver plaque, mounted on the frame of the picture, bore the legend: "Presented to the Cuban Naval Academy by the Brigade of Midshipmen, United States Naval Academy, 1952."

This year, the fiftieth anniversary of Cuban independence, marks the 35th year of the Cuban naval school and the tenth year it has graduated midshipmen. Midn.

John A. Torroella, a citizen of Cuba undergoing training at Annapolis, acted as host to the visiting officers.

NROTC Competition Scbeduied The seventh nation-wide competitive examination for its college training program, the Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps, has been scheduled for December 13, 1952. It has been emphasized that this date is final and examinations would not be given at any other time regardless of circumstances.

Successful candidates will be given a four-year college education with govemment assistance and will be commissioned as officers of the Navy or Marine Corps upon graduation.

Applications for the examination are available to high school seniors or graduates within age requirements. The applications may be obtained at high schools, colleges, offices of Naval Officer Procurement, and Navy Recruiting Stations throughout the country. Completed applications must reach the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, N . J., by November 22, 1952.

The program is open to male citizens of the United States between the ages of 17 and 21, and quotas have been assigned to each state and territory on the basis of its high school population.

Those who are successful in passing the aptitude test will be interviewed and given physical examinations. Then, if they are found in all respects qualified, their names will be submitted to state and territorial selection committees composed of prominent citizens and Naval Officers.

The Navy expects to enter about 2,000 students into the program commencing with the fall term of college, 1953. Those selected by the competitive examinations will be assigned to the 52 N R O T C units which are located in various universities and colleges throughout the U . S. If accepted by the college, the candidates will be appointed midshipmen, USNR, and will have their tuition, books and normal fees paid for by the government. In addition, they will receive pay at the rate of $600 a year for the four-year period and will be provided the required uniforms.

A student may, if he so desires, accept employment not conflicting with his NROTC and academic activities. Such employment may in some cases be desirable in order to defray the expenses of quarters, subsistence, and for necessary clothing, since the uniforms supplied may be worn only on cfuises, during drill periods, or while engaged in other naval activities.

MISCELLANEOUS Survivors' Claims

Members of the naval forces or their survivors may now submit claims for loss of the member's personal effects under one of the provisions of the Military Personnel Claims Act of 1945 as recently amended by the 82nd Congress.

The law now permits consideration of new claims and the reconsideration of claims previously submitted but not approved, where the loss of property was incident to the Navy man's service and death on or after December 7, 1939.

The Korean Service Medal will not be available for issue until after the cessation of hostilities in the Korean area, it has been announced.

The medal will be awarded for duty performed in Korea, or the waters adjacent to Korea, between June 27, 1950 and a terminal date to be fixed at a later date.

Lovett in command, and recently arrived from the Pacific, switched her crew to the carrier SHANGRI-LA, Capt. Samuel G. Mitchell, whereupon the men of the S H A N GRI-LA moved over to the ANTIETAM.

This being done, Captain Mitchell got the ANTIETAM underway for the New York

commanded by her new Captain Mitchell, made plans for departure for the West Coast.

One primary purpose for the crew exchange—to avoid the expense of transportation of the two crews cross continent.

The SHANGRI-LA personnel, Boston based for the most part, would rate transportation to the Pacific coast under ordinary procedure. Likewise, the people in the A N TIETAM would be entitled to travel expense from California to New York. Estimated total—$1,500,000.

Captain Lovett will take the SHANGRILA to Bremerton Naval Shipyard and on completion of the voyage will take command of the carrier ESSEX—thus setting a record of commanding three carriers within a month.

MSTS Announces Its New Rates M S T S has recently published its new passenger rates for "space available" travel on its vessels. The new rates for retired officers and their dependents or active duty officers not on orders and their dependents are as follows: from East Coast ports to Europe $50, to the Caribbean $25, to the Mediterranean $50; from West Coast ports to Alaska $20, to Hawaii $25, to Central and South Pacific points $45, and to the Far East $60. Children five years and under will be carried without charge.

MSTS has also established fixed tariffs for the transportation of private automobiles of retired officers who travel on "space available" basis. The new fixed rates are rather steep and apply whether the "space available" for the automobile is used on the same ship as the retired officer travels or at any other time.

The new vehicle transportation rates are based on "measurement tons." Under this method, the average automobile is rated at about 14 tons. Based on this formula, typical tariffs for shipping private automobiles of retired officers a r e : from New York to Southampton or Bremerhaven, $248.50; from New York to the Mediterranean, $280; from San Francisco to Alaska, $210; from San Francisco to Hawaii, $135; from San Francisco to Japan, $293; from San Francisco to other points in the Pacific, $330. In addition there is a charge of ^ 9 per vehicle to cover port handling charges.

All these "space available" charges— passenger, personal vehicle, and handling— must be paid prior to departure at the port of embarkation.

One fine day last spring, I was sitting in the hole pondering the fact that although my slide rule was exactly like the one my wife owned, his always tumed up the answers in the appendix while mine always tumed up a dud, when the door opened and a pair of civilians strode into our cubicle. Since civilians on the second deck are about as rare as kindhearted ODs, we both stood up, resisting the urge to sound off. One stood just inside the door and looked the room over with a dissatisfied frown, while the other strode to the window and idly started chipping paint off with his fingernails. Being in charge of the room, I decided that it was time to do something. Littering the deck was too much. "What," said I, "do you think you're doing?"

"Ah," countered the bucket, using the one French phrase he could pronounce, and a very Gallic shrug, "C'est la vie!"

The rest of the assemblage roared, and the young lady stormed out the door, hurling a few obviously vituperous phrases over her shoulder at the completely snowed mid.

Each night, those of us who write letters know, a plebe comes around to all the rooms on the deck, picks up the mail and sends it down the chute to the zero deck.

To keep the process moving, the plebe with the duty is not required to sound off as he enters each room. In fact, generally he will bust in, scoop up all the mail in sight, and bust out.

So it came to pass that one night last spring as the duty plebe was making his appointed rounds he popped into a First Class room, and scooping up every envelope in sight, was gone. Sometime the next morning the three First Classmen in • the room were about to turn in their aptitude estimates on the underclasses when, after a complete search of everything in the room with a cover, the light slowly dawned. It didn't take too much trouble to retrieve them from the postmaster. . . .

Just because two guys happen to live together isn't any reason to assume they are friends. In fact some fine friendships have been broken up that way. There were, for excimple, once two mids who lived together. As things would turn out, one liked music; the other didn't like to have the radio on ten minutes a day. The one would work out occasionally; the other never, and complained about sweat gear hanging in the closet. Well, you get the idea. One thing this second fella was hot on, though, was the reg book. He had it cold, so one day when his wife was A B O O W and a frap for an improperly stowed locked showed up, number two merely signed it.

Then his habits changed. The radio played all the time until his wife was wishing it would be off once for a change. He took to working out regularly. But he never spoke a word to his wife. When spoken to he merely left the room without an answer. After about a week of this, number one began to w^eaken. It finally became too much for him and one night after lights out number one said quietly, "Look. I'm sorry about that frap, but your locker was sloppy."

Without a trace of emotion number two sat up and replied quietly, "You're on report. Talking after taps!" Sic semper tyrannis. . . .

We who stand on the side terrace for meal formations often feel a little left out.

The tourists all stand out front and ogle the boys, even most of the girls are out there and the drum and bugle corps supplies music for their enjoyment. Imagine then our surprise, as we started off to dinner one night, to hear a drum bravely beating time for us. We had arrived. True, it was only a small drum, but it was a drum.

A week passed and we were getting more or less used to it when, will wonders never cease, at noon meal one afternoon we perceived a subtle change in the makeup of the Third Wing Terrace Drum Corps.

Three fifes, or flutes, or something, had been added. Anyway, it is all very military and musical. Maybe now we'll even be able to attract a few flute lovers from the crowd out front and have our own f a n s . . . .

BULLETIN BOARD SOUNDINGS

Annapolis has been up on its tin ear, this past month, what with Alumni Weekend, the kidnapping of Bill XII—credited to the University of Maryland—and the appearance on the State House grounds of Senator Richard M. Nixon, Republican vicepresidential candidate, who made a very creditable address.

Concerning Homecoming, it would be easier to write a man-bites-dog story and say who did N O T have houseguests, but that wouldn't be any fun. Practically all quarters in the Yard as well as homes of retired personnel in the community were stuffed to the rafters with classmates and long-time friends, and we talked with one Porter Road hostess who had the goodly sum of 23 guests.

On top of all this, it's on the record that the Navy wives at North Sevem hit the ceiling, so to say, over the rent increase in the enlisted men's quarters . . . formed a committee and took their case to the Department of Defense. The rent boosts were from $53 to $58 on a one-bedroom apartment, and from $59.50 to $65 on a twobedroom home.

The raises nullified the benefits of the servicemen's salary increase of last June, so the wives said.

Getting back to the weekend, a steady drizzle preceded and lasted almost entirely throughout Homecoming, but no one's spirits were particularly dampened . . . least of all that fine old gentleman, R. Adm. Wilham B. Fletcher, U S N ( R e t ) , of Momingside Drive, New York City, who was the oldest alumnus to return for the occasion. His class is 1882.

Admiral Fletcher was accompanied by a son, R. Adm. William B. Fletcher, Jr., USN (Ret.), of Chevy Chase. It's quite a Navy family, the Fletchers. A grandson, Lt. John Asserson Fletcher, 2nd, U S N , named after a Navy uncle, is in flight training at Pensacola. His father was the late Cdr. Paul Williams Fletcher, U S N .

Johnny, a recent bridegroom, was captain of Navy's wrestling team a few years back, and in 1948 and 1952 was a member of the U. S. Oljrmpic wrestling teams.

Once safely moved into the home of final selection, life is fine for papa, but the day has just begun for mother, as she must learn that the super-market idea has not taken here yet, and she will be given the name of a fine grocer who has everything she needs, except that she does not know yet how to gear her needs to the available items. All of the national brands of breakfast foods, coffee, tea, canned vegetables, juices, etc. are not the same, and the rice and beans are in big sacks. The flour is mixed with a 10% substitute that makes it dark and non-glutenous. The store is very similar to the ones our fathers tell about in the old days of the open cracker barrel. If the item wanted is not available today, it will be ordered for tomorrow, and surprisingly enough it arrives in due course.

most of the details will be handled by a customs or police broker, who can handle all details except the finger prints and payment of fees. Nowhere in the world can the ink be so gooey and hard to clean off as in the police station where the water is cold and hard, the air hot and humid, and the soap non-existent.

He also gives you a good shine as you stand in the shade and breathe nice fresh air.

The hotels are clean and bright with plenty of air and light in the rooms, the beds are inclined to be hard, but that is an advantage in the heat after your back has learned to accept it. The service is good and the help can speak enough English to attend your wants with a minimum of mistakes, but the person who expects quick service may find that in spite of our fame as the hustling, bustling city of Latin America, the help in the hotels are not in conformity with this practice. Prices in the hotels are not cheap, but are not exorbitant in relation to the rest of the world and you get your money's worth by the small services and pleasant attitude that accompany all activities for the appreciative client. The prices of food in the restaurants are high by all standards outside of the States and quality for quality even then, but it is not impossible to eat well and the best proof of that is to compare the belt measurement of most of us now with the same measurement when we arrived here.

The common saying here is that people work in Sao Paulo and play in Rio. We seem to be proud of that. Everything here is done in a rush.

Then you become one of the experts who await the transfer or promotion of one of your friends so you can have his home. Rents are high now and seem to be going higher, so that the man on salary can just about pay the rent with the paycheck if he is lucky. At the black rate of CR$30,00 to the dollar, the fair-togood houses cost US$300 to US$400 monthly, and the renter has the privilege of painting and repairing, etc. Some of the oldtimers still have homes at very modest rates, as there is an official freeze on rents in effect for several years, but few of the landlords have been so ingenuous as to think that this applied to them as individuals.

The milk jmd bread arrive at the door in a mule cart with anything from one to ten aggressive salesmen competing for the business. The social event of the day is the visit to the street market for fruits and vegetables, etc. There is one in some nearby district every day and it is a marvel to see several blocks closed to traffic for a morning to have stalls set up in the street with everything imaginable on sale. It is closely regulated and controlled with the stall owner in his place daily to sell his stock of bananas, toothpicks, carrots, and washtubs. The householder who happens to draw a street with a "feira" will have his sleep broken at about four with the arrival of the carts and trucks to set up'Shop, but the business will be over before noon and by 1:00 p.m. the street is cleaned up and the show moves into retirement for the afternoon and opens in some other district tomorrow morning.

The British weekly magazine Illustrated has made a recent survey of the cost of food, taxes, and rents for a typical middle class family in France, and the items of food included were used as the basis for a similar survey for Sao Paulo, with the interesting result that the French family spent the equivalent of US$1,200 per year, while the same family in Sao Paulo would have had to pay US$4,350. The diet of the two peoples is similar and the substitutions necessary were to figure "charque," i.e., salted dried beef, in place of horse meat, and beer in place of cider.

The largest difference was in rent and taxes, but in spite of being in an agricultural country, the food budget here was 30 percent higher. The spread gets wider when one starts considering those things not normally found in a cost of living index and which today are considered semiluxury items, such as clothes, household appliances, electrical equipment, autos, etc.

NAVY GRID TEAM GETS ITS BEST START SINCE 1945 SEASON Midshipmen Win First Three Starts; Tough Games Ahead Navy's football team has been retitled this year by the sports writers of the nation. The name "Erdelatz's Brazen Brats" is due to the team's utter disrespect for such early season opponents as Yale, Cornell, and William and Mary.

Riding a two-game winning streak from last year, the squad drubbed Yale in Baltimore by a score of 31-0. This crucial first game saw the N'avy defensive unit established as the first in the nation, with a total yield by rushing of six yards, and a total yardage gained of 102 yards. Operating out of the single wing and box formations, the offensive team showed much power and scoring ability.

behind. Columbia promises to be no pushover. The Army-Navy game this year is shaping up as one of the highlights of the season. Both Army and Navy have proved stronger than pre-season forecasts. Army showed its power 11 October by grinding dovim Dartmouth 37-7.

The other varsity teams of the Academy were off to a slow start this season. The Academy harriers lost their two meets to strong Yale and Villanova cross-country teams. Cooke and Hurt were "Navy's leaders in the 29-26 and 34-21 defeats, respectively. Against the Academy's state rivals, Maryland, the team showed better form by winning a close race 27-28.

The soccer team also lost its first two.

Yale won over the Mids 5-1. Cornell rode over Navy 5-0. Springing back into line, the losses were partly redeemed by an un-

expected win over a strong team 5-1.

At Ithaca, against the "Big Red" of Cornell, the Midshipmen again tumed in a startling success. Steve Eisenhauer, Navy guard, led the strong Navy defense in reaffirming their number one defensive spot in the nation by holding the Cornell squad to two yards rushing. Eisenhauer was selected by the Associated Press as the "Lineman of the Week." Ned Snyder, Navy's placeldcking specialist, scored his second field goal of the season and put the Midshipmen ahead 10-0 early in the first quarter. Ranked 17th in the nation by the A.P., the Navy outlook was the best it had been since 1945.

The Homecoming game in Thompson Stadium at Annapolis saw the Academy eleven coming out on the top end of a 14-0 score against the William and Mary Indians. Against a team which outweighed the Midshipmen 10 pounds per man, the Navy squad played excellent ball. Bob Cameron, little hampered by the soaked field, took to the air for 147 yards, his favorite receiver being Dean Smith, the Navy scatback who turned in an excellent performance all afternoon. Penalties of 90 yards held down the Navy offense, but once more the defensive unit held a bigger team, showing much power in a goal-line stand inside the Navy 7-yard line.

The first phase of the season is over and the team now faces some of the more formidable schools in the hationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Maryland, Perm, Notre Dame, and Duke in that order.

^4e A/au^ an Gcufxiioi tJ^iU (Continued from page 9) purpose of establishing their basic pay, they may credit their inactive service as well.

Under present laws, some thirty-seven types of service are credited for pay purposes to various classifications of military personnel. All types of regular and reserve service are included for credit for pay purposes, except that some officers may not credit their service as cadets and midshipmen. Officers, who entered the Army as cadets prior to August 24, 1912, now credit their service as cadets. Officers who entered the Navy as midshipmen prior to March 4, 1913, now credit their service as midshipmen, and officers who entered the Coast Guard as cadets prior to March 4, 1913, likewise now credit their service as cadets.

Notwithstanding all this, those officers who entered upon their military careers as cadets and midshipmen subsequent to these dates are not entitled to the same credit.

The manner in which this situation has come about should be understood and, once understood, the assertion of traditional American fairness will remove the gross discrimination which now exists.

The Army Appropriation Act of August 24, 1912 (37 Stat. 594) terminated credit to officers, who entered the service subsequent to that date, for their service as Army cadets, but preserved credit for such service to those who entered the service as cadets, prior to that date. The Act of March 4, 1913 (17 Stat. 194) had the same effect, as to the crediting of services as midshipmen in the Navy to officers.

24

This was also made to apply in the same manner to the crediting of service to officers who have performed service as cadets in the Coast Guard.

Since 1912 credit for pay purposes has been extended to all types of active and inactive military service for both officers and enlisted men. In addition credit has been extended to various types of officer personnel for constructive service. Thus, to some—namely, to officers who entered the military services, subsequent to the dates given in the preceding paragraph— their military service as cadets and midshipmen has not been credited while credit has been extended to all other types of active and inactive military service.

The Career Compensation Act of 1949, while preserving, by a saving clause, credit for cadet and midshipman service to those who were then entitled to such credit, as explained above, was held by a decision of the Comptroller General to have failed to carry the credit into the computation of retired pay for longevity purposes under the new law. But, the 82nd Congress in the legislation to increase the pay and allowances of the uniformed services (Public Law 346—82nd Congress) re-established this credit for them and thus reestablished the discrimination against those who have not been entitled to the same credit.

Another interesting comparison should be made between cadets and midshipmen and aviation cadets, appointed under the Act of April 15, 1935 (49 Stat. 156), as amended. While the service of the former

is not credited with longevity purposes (except as explained above) the Comptroller General has held that the service of the aviation cadets may be credited for longevity pay purposes (Comp. Gen. B-98502, May 22, 1952).

The Comptroller General has likewise held that service as a cadet and as a midshipman may be credited by an enlisted man for longevity pay purposes (Comp.

Gen. B-107106, April 21, 1952).

And the discrimination does not stop there. All service as a cadet and as a midshipman may be credited by civilian employees of the government and for the computation of the retired pay of those retired under the Civil Service Retirement Act; it may be credited as employment by the Federal Government.

Here we have a curious situation indeed I The service performed by cadets and midshipmen is as military in character as any other type of military service. During this service they are in training to become military officers. Yet their service receives full credit for longevity pay purposes to those who serve the government in every capacity except in the very capacity for which the training service is performed. Compare this with the fact that the apprentice training period of enlisted personnel is fully credited to enlisted men and to officers who have performed it. The time spent in the training school of the F B I is credited for the computation of the pay of FBI personnel and for their retirement. And finally, the time spent in training as cadets and midshipmen is fully credited to employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Just how discriminatory can we become?

Your correspondent has been informed that the proposal to establish credit for cadet and midshipman service has the unanimous approval of all departments of the government having cognizance of the personnel who would be affected by such action (Army, Navy, Air Froce and Treasury). Far from being dormant, this matter is now under active consideration and study. It merely requires executive recommendation to the Congress for action where simple justice, based upon a clear understanding of the problem, can have but one result which is much needed in the interest of morale.

While there is universal awareness within the cognizant agencies of the Executive branch of the Government of the necessity for action to credit cadet and midshipman service to all on an equal basis, many in the Congress are not familiar with the facts. Members of Congress should know and will wish to know the facts, for they are the last to wish perpetuation of injustice.

Pictures Donated To Alumni House A set of four artistically-framed color prints have recently been donated to the Naval Academy Alumni Association by Claude C. Vickrey, Class of 1915. These pictures depict four different scenes of the Brigade of Midshipmen on dress parade.

The originals were painted for Commander Vickrey by Prince Windish-Graetz. The prints which were donated to the Association are accurate silk-screen color reproductions and are hung on the walls of one of the rooms of Alumni House. On page 36 of this issue there can be found black and white illustrations of these four pictures.

UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Life Membership b y Deferred Payment At its meeting on 9 October, the Board of the Association, by unanimous vote, approved a plan by which Life Membership in the Alumni Association is placed within easy reach of all of our alumni.

This plan, which is now effective, provides for the payment by a prospective Life Member of the sum of $25.00 per year for five years. Of this amount, $5.00 pays the current annual dues while $20.00 is reserved as an installment payment on a Life Membership. After the lapse of five years, the reserve wrill amount to the Life Membership fee of $100.00 and a Life Member's card is issued.

As has been previously explained, all Life Membership fees are kept in an account completely apart from the operating funds of the Association. They are invested in income-producing securities on the advice of our Investment Committee and only the income may be used by the Association. Upon the death of a Life Member, his membership fee is withdrawn from the Life Membership account and is then placed in the general operating fund.

This is a splendid opportunity for our alumni to become Life Members of the Association with small annual outlay and it is expected that many, especially the members of comparatively junior classes, will take advantage of this offer.

It is our sad duty to record the death of Adm. J O N A S H. INGRAM (Ret.), whose brilliant and dynamic naval and civilian career came to a sudden end in San Diego on September 10. Jonas departed this world as he had lived—with his boots on. It was his wish to be active to the end. He was.

His last job—with the Reynolds Metal Company—was, as he told this writer, "the best job I ever had in or out of the Navy."

It is to be noted—every job Jonas had was "the best ever." Such was the duty he did last summer as Head of the Summer Schools at his alma mater, Culver Military Academy. "It will be a kick for me to run up my four-starred flag over the school," he wrote.

Jonas Ingram was the oldest and the best all-around athlete of the three Ingram brothers; wonderfully devoted to each other they were too. Jonas was a star in football, line smasher; in the crew; on the track. He would have played on the varsity baseball team if the game could have been staged in his only off-season— in mid-winter. On graduation, he made the NEBRASKA ship's team, playing first base like Hal Chase and hitting like Joe DiMaggio.

First and foremost, Jonas was a naval officer. He fell heir to the command of the fleet flagship PENNSYLVANIA (Adm. Veazie Pratt), when in the rank of commander.

As such he clicked in fleet maneuvers.

Jonas had a terrific ability to meet all kinds and classes—from Brazilian big shots to workmen in aircraft plants, on their own terms, and win out handsomely. He would have been equally good if his lot had been cast in diplomacy.

Jonas graduated in the third (and last) section, Class of 1907. His career, filled with honors and achievements, shows what drive he possessed and how he made all his passes click.

Ten classmates were pallbearers for Jonas at his Arlington interment. Surviving Admiral Ingram are his wife, Jean Ingram; their son, Wm. T. Ingram, 2nd, USNA, '38; and Mary Ingram Hays, wife of Col. Lawrence C. Hays, USMC. Louis Gulliver

Research Rides a Rocket The Naval Research Laboratory's Viking rocket research at White Sands Proving Grounds, N. M., hunts facts, figures and formulas in the upper atmosphere.

URTLING far into the blue, Naval Research Laboratory rockets ask questions of the earth's upper atmosphere . . . flash back the answers needed to guide the designers of tomorrow's piloted and pilotless superaltitude systems for peace or war. W h a t are the pressures and temperatures of the earth's atmospheric layers . . . the high-altitude changes in t h a earth's magnetic field affecting navigational instruments . . . the alterations in radio waves caused by the ionosphere . . . the effects of sun spots on communications equipment out beyond the filtering effects of the earth's heavy atmosphere?

H

Martin Viking rockets play a major role in this highaltitude flight research program. Last summer, the Viking cracked the world's altitude record for singlestage rockets . . . nosing 136 miles into the heavens at a top speed of 4100 m.p.h. Now, an even more powerful Viking is being readied for launching. T h e Martin Company is proud to be a partner with the Naval R e search Laboratory in these vital activities . . . helping to prove that America's most valuable secret weapon is its scientific leadership!

"The Southern California group of the class, from Santa Barbara to San Diego, tumed out en masse to greet Harry and Margaret Hill on 18 September. The gettogether and dinner were held in the Radio Room in Allen Center and are reputed to have been a grand success, with Howard Kingman welcoming the guests of honor and Harry responding.

The U. S. Naval Academy Alumni Assoc, Inc. 247 King George Street, Annapolis, Maryland.

GENTLEMEN:

I have completed my examination of the Balance Sheet of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., as of 30 June 1952 and the Profit and Loss Statement for the year ended that date and submit herewith my report which includes applicable exhibits, schedules and comments.

I reviewed the system of internal control and accounting procedures of the Association, and without making a detailed audit of the transactions, have examined or tested accounting records of the Association by methods and to the extent I deemed

30

.

appropriate. My examination was made in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards, applicable in the circumstances and including all procedures which I considered necessary. All items in the Balance Sheet have been enumerated and commented upon in the audit report which is a part of this general report. There are, however, certain recommendations and explanations which I am setting forth herewith in order to invite your attention to them.

(1) Mortgage Payable—Equitable Life Assurance Society, $49,057.52.

It is respectfully suggested that some consideration be given towards prepaying a portion of this mortgage, inasmuch as cash on hand appears to be in excess of normal needs for the Association.

(2) Reserve for Life Membership $5,400.00.

The sum of $5,400.00 has been deducted from the unrestrictS H I P M A T E

Securitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;D. M. Garrison Fund.

Your attention is invited to the fact that the D. M. Garrison Fund owns 86 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey. These shares were purchased for $1,962.74. Their market value as of 30 June 1952 was $6,966,00, or a book profit of $5,003.26.

This item is being brought to your attention simply because there has been such a marked increase in the value of the shares. No suggestion is being made here as to any action which might be made with them.

The net profit as mentioned above shows a marked improvement in the operation of the Association for this fiscal year.

Thus the trend in increased earnings which was noticeable in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1952. It is believed that this situation will continue to improve from year to year.

In my opinion, the accompanying Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement present fairly the position of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association, Inc., at 30 June 1952 and the result of its operation for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1952 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

From the above comparative condensed balance sheets It will be noted that the Association made considerable progress in the fiscal year ending June 20, 1952. The actual profit of the Association in the amount of $14,889.19 represents an increase in the amount of 88,901.32 from the prior year.

It will be noted that both the Register and Shipmate have shown greatly increased profit from prior years, due in most part to the more advantageous system of advertising commissions now being paid for advertising in this publication.

The increase in net worth as shown above in the amount of $79.94 is due to the fact that the settlement of the lawsuit against the Association required $15,009.25. With the lawsuit now out of the way, the Association should be able to increase its capital position substantially in future years.

Changing the map of the world —with RCA Shoran A . SHIP SANK in these remote straits — because a chart was wrong. But that won't fool navigators any more. Modern aerial survey . . . using RCA Shoran and photography together... recorded the true shoreline (the Unes in white). Now, the charts are right!

Surpassing any optical survey system now in use, this radar "yardstick" can map land-and-water areas never explored by man—and do it at flying speeds as high as 600 mph. Accuracy is better than 50 feet in 100 miles or more. Here's how it's done.

Two widely separated SHORAN stations on the ground (or aboard ship) form the base of a triangle.

The plane becomes the apex. Pulsed radar signals from the SHORAN are received by each ground station and retransmitted back to the pilot. On a radar screen the pilot sees one "pip" for each station signal. He caUbrates the "pips" and gets his fix. Cameras used with the Shoran equipment simultaneously photograph the calibrations—and the ground along his course. Result: a highly accurate and permanent record of every square foot he covers.

Just another application of RCA Shoran—added to its use in locating oil wells, plotting microwave radio relay and pipeline routes, detecting mine fields, and precision bombing.

SHIPMATE

FRANCISCO. W e all wish Micky a speedy recovery and wish both Micky and Sue lots of luck.

BILL ZINK, who was injured in an automobile accident last May, is now up and about and back to duty for which we are all grateful. Scuttlebutt has it that DICK W I L L I A M S is also coming along and probably will get back to active duty soon. We hope it is the straight dope.

Your secretary has received some addresses but requires many more. Send them in. And remember, the easiest way to keep up with the class doings is to take Shipmate and the Shipmate subscription goes with your yearly dues to the Naval Academy Alumni Association, only $5.00.

The gals are also working on the gatherings of the distaff side of '32. On Thursday, September 18, several of the wives met at Billy Leeds' home for a dessert luncheon to discuss plans for the quarterly luncheon to be held by the 1932 wives during the coming year. Those present and working on the arrangements were Billy Leeds, Nellie Zink, Frances Iimis.

Mary Jane Grider, Frances Jaap and Margaret Archer.

The first wives' luncheon was held October 1, 1952, at the Army-Navy Country Club at 12:30 p.m. The whole idea is to review friendships from last spring and from previous duties, and to welcome to the Washington area the newcomers whose husbands have recently reported in the area for duty.

The wives plan to have four luncheons this year. Information on subsequent meetings will be put out well in advance, so everyone can attend. Contact any of the gals mentioned above for details of future plans.

A note from H A R R Y H U M M E R brings his address to us as 44 West Royal Forest Boulevard, Coltmibus 14, Ohio. He plans to attend the Alumni Homecoming October 11, so we will all look forward to seeing him then. Thanks for the note, Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we hope we get more of the same from the rest of you guys.

The planned wives' luncheon went off as scheduled. According to the following report it was a most colorful and congenial affair.

The class wives had their first fall limcheon Wednesday, October 1, at the ArmyNavy Country Club. There were twentysix present. The committee making preparations for the luncheon were Billy Leeds, Frances Jaap, Frances Innis, Mary Jane Grider, Nellie Zink and Margaret Archer.

The decorations were of the fall motif and beautifully done by Frances Innes and Frances Jaap. Those that could not come to the luncheon missed a grand time as several were present that have not been in this area previously and the chatter renewing friendships flew unceasingly. Those present were Nellie Zink, Ann White, Mary Small, Helen Stoner, Louise Slayden, Betty Lee Pressey, Gladys Seeley, Edna Nisewaner, Ruth Myers, Sara Ann Munger, Barbara Maulsby, Betsy Matter, Emmy Marshall, Lucille Lewis, Linnie Lanman, Mary Kim, Frances Jaap, Frances Innis, Mary Jane Grider, Cynthia Dennett, Dot Brown, Ann Born, Isophene Blaisdell, Polly Bailey, Margaret Archer and Catherine Adams.

Billy Leeds, chairman of the group, could not be present as she was scheduled for Bethesda. We all wish her a quick and satisfactory recovery. The next luncheon will be announced later as to time and place, however it is to be the first week in December, so all those that could not NOVEMBER,

1952

make this luncheon plan on being present in December. Due to our beaux not having the class roster up to date it appeared that a few names were not accounted for that should have been notified of the luncheon. We hope to have that rectified in December, but it would help to assure us getting the word to all if those who recently arrived would notify Nellie Zink by telephone, GEorgia 6218, what your address and telephone number is.

Emmy Marshall's present address is c/o Capt. N. E. Smith, 5054 29th St., N. Arlington, Va. Emmy is, at present, planning on remaining in the Washington area. Welcome to our group, Emmy. We hope to see a lot of you.

New fleet-type sub—Official U. S. Navy Ptioto

At its great Groton, ConneCTicut yards, Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation is engaged in developing and producing undersea craft of new and revolutionary types.

Work is proceeding on the world's first atomic-powered submarine—representing a new era in propulsion. Delivery has recently been completed on a number of new fleet-type submarines for the U. S. Navy. Snorkels, radar and sonar of the latest design give these big, streamlined craft vastly increased operational effectiveness.

Building these super subs is only one of General Dynamics' activities in strengthening hemispheric defenses. At Canadair Limited, a subsidiary of the Corporation, jet and other military planes are built for the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Air Force.

Kelley, John Johnston, Jack Wadleigh, Herbie Hartmann, Hubie Reece, Squire Pridmore, Beagle Smith, Jack Slaughter, Tom Cunningham, Rex Wheeler, Jim Scales, Dick Savage, Sid Bottomley, and Frank Eddy all were present. This visit of Jim Scales to the Washington area may be the last for a while. He has joined us two or three times previously but this time on his visit to Washington he brought Mary and the two children. Rex and Eleanor Wheeler gave a party for the class while Jim and Mary were in Washington.

and tears" are as necessary now in the cause of peace as they were in the cause of war.

But with faith, freedom and "manly exertion" on the part of all citizens, the nation can again move forward to her great destiny, and help achieve the lasting peace to which all the world's people aspire.

Visitors in town last month included BILL ALFORD from Albuquerque and, at the luncheon. Sloppy MAC D A N I E L S from Norfolk; DICK LONG, who recently transferred from cattle raising in Oklahoma to selling tractors in Brazil; J E R R Y BRAUN, from some place which in my notes looks like I wrote after three oldfashioneds, which couldn't be 'cause I was drinking martinis, and finally STAN KERK E R I N G from Annapolis. Stan brought news of the Class of '39 party during Homecoming Weekend, October 10-11, which is scheduled for Saturday night after the football game. The scene is the basement of the North Sevem Club and, since it starts off so close to the wine cellar, I suspect it will be the beginning of a spectacular evening.

My final item for the month is a round of applause for Mrs. Ray Laird who recently won the 1952 women's service golf championship on the Country Club course.

And I should close with an anecdote but the only one at hand, dear reader, does not fit this month.

See you all at the next luncheon.

I've received so many letters since the October issue that I won't try to acknowledge them since the dope appears elsewhere in the column. I appreciate very much the praise given me for my efforts 49

but hasten to assure you that we'll all have to work at it if we are to get '46 on top and keep her there. We're on our way toward that goal already and people are beginning to sit up and take notice of our class. One reason for this is our Foimdation, which is the envy of many people I've talked to who are very, very much senior to 1946. Don't let yourself be the victims of loose talk about the Foundation I Get the facts and pass them along.

I must apologize to some people who had to wait a month or so after joining the Association before they got their first copy of Shipmate. This was due to the sudden influx of new members at the very busiest time of year at Alumni House. To remedy this, I am mailing Shipmate immediately to new members until operations at Alumni House are back to normal. I might add that I would not have been aware of this situation if "Chris" CHRIST I A N S O N hadn't written me his complaint. So if you have any gripes just drop me a card and they'll get my personal attention. (By now I have done everything with Shipmate except print it!) In case you've wondered what I get paid for (some people have asked), I am Communication Officer on V. Adm. Joy's Staff and custodian of all R P S publications in the SRNC (among other things).

N E W S FROM M O N T E R E Y Monterey is back in the race again and Patsy Skidmore has volunteered to be my Monterey correspondent for the next six months. Shame on Albuquerque and other groups for not doing the same thing. Here is Patsy's dope just as she wrote it.

A happy Sunday found Marge and Pat Cartmell having their daughter, Peggy Lynn, christened at the P.G. School Chapel with Bernie and L. L. Junod in the area for the occasion as Peggy L3Tm's sponsors.

Also present as witnesses were Doris and Fred lacobelli.

The date September 11, 1952, found the wives of the Class of 1946 at the lounge in the P.G. School. The occasion a luncheon with bingo following. The hostesses for the luncheon were: Mrs. J. J. Carl, as chairman; Mrs. J. W. Foust and Mrs. R. S. Hutches were the bingo sponsors with many prizes donated by the local Monterey, Seaside, Pacific Grove and Carmel merchants. Among the prize winners were Mrs. W. E. Simpson, Mrs. R. E. Weidner, Mrs. F. lacobelli, Mrs. E. O. Skidmore, Mrs. E. C. Jordan, Mrs. T. C. Lonnquest, Jr., Mrs. R. Williamson, II, Mrs. D. D. Blair, Mrs. A. E. Rose, Jr., and Mrs. R. B. Weaver. Some thirty-six attended the gala afternoon.

Since our officers of the wives club of the Class of 1946 hold office for only three months, September 23, 1952, was another election day. A coffee was in order for the affair with Mrs. R. C. Duncan as chairman ; Mrs. W. E. Simpson and Mrs. W. H. Schmidt acting as hostesses. A short business meeting took place before the election of new officers. Business for that day consisted of a charity drive to help the war orphans of Korea have a very happy Christmas. Since the coming holidays hold a great deal in store for all of us many plans were submitted as to how the class would celebrate together. Two ideas were presented, one being a class party during the mid-term when the husbands, after vigorous days of nothing but books and more books, could get together with their classmates and renew a few old sea stories; the other being a Christmas party for all who will be in the area over the holidays.

The following officers were elected for the next three months: Entertaiimient Chairman, Mrs. E. C. Jordan; Hostess Chairman; Mrs. J. P . Cartmell; Funds Chairman, Mrs. J. W. Foust; and Publicity Chairman, Mrs. R. S. Hutches.

Also discussed and decided upon at the meeting was a volunteer corresponding secretary to do nothing but to keep the fire lit to write news of classmates and their families in this area and to send on to Daisy Wilhoit at Annapolis in time to meet his deadline for Shipmate. Yours truly being that volunteer, Mrs. E. O. Skidmore.

Among the forty members attending this coffee also was a guest, Lt. Morgan L. Davison's mother. His parents motored to California from Indianapolis to spend their vacation with Anne and Dave, Judy, Mike and Paul (their three children). Dave's brother, Harvey, flew out one week later to spend his vacation, too, with the families and to motor back with his parents.

Thursday, September 25, 1952, was our regular monthly wives' bridge and canasta meeting. The hostesses were Mrs. A. C. Rose, Mrs. A. R. Bennett and Mrs. A. A. Lemeshewsky. Mrs. J. W. Foust won first in bridge and Mrs. W. H. Schmidt was high in canasta. There were eight tables of bridge and one table of canasta.

At the present time, the Colonel is attached to this command, and gave the membership an up-to-date account of the structure of the group. Most of their difficulty is supplementing the radar defense network with trained ground observers.

He emphasized the importance of this latter link in the defense network, particularly for sighting and identifying low flying aircraft.

What's Happened to Old Academ/ Songs?

The Homecoming Dinner in the Academy mess hall was a gay, festive gathering. Old grads were on the crest of the wave and many felt no pain. At this point, some experienced the perfectly normal urge—under such circumstances—to express their exhilaration in song. On the back of the bill-of-fare, or menu, or (to expatriates) carte du jour or lista de plates had providently been printed the words of those staunch standbys. Anchors Aweigh, Navy Blue and Gold, Army Mule, There's an Aggregation, etc.

Professor Gets Valuable Data in Austrian Monastery But Is Locked Up With Papers

BRAZIL'S MINISTER OF MARINE VIEWS WAR MEMORIAL A T ANNAPOLIS. . . . V. Adm. Renato Almeida Guillobel, Secretary of the Brazilian Navy (in civilian clothes), examines a bronze plaque dedicated to former U. S. Naval Academy midshipmen killed in action in all wars.

With him is Capt. Charles A. Buchanan, USN, Commandant of Midshipmen. Admiral Guillobel visited Annapolis with four Brazilian naval officers on October 8, to tour the grounds and inspect academic departments.

A Fulbright scholarship has paid off richly in scholarly information for a Pitt history professor who has spent most of the past year burrowing through ancient manuscripts in Austria.

Dr. George B. Fowler, who teaches history of the Middle Ages and the Near East, has just returned from his year of research, more convinced than ever that the Middle Ages are far from dead as a subject for serious study.

"The trip was much more productive than I dared hope," he explained. "But thanks to the help of my Austrian colleagues, I came back with some material that has been hidden for centuries—and some material which has never been studied before."

IT W A S COLD RESEARCH

"That was fine—but it was terribly cold, in spite of the heavy coat I'd taken along.

I had to stamp my feet to keep the circulation going."

Although the voluntary incarceration was supposed to last only until the middle of the afternoon, it was almost 6 p.m. before his "captors" had returned. "By that time I was so engrossed in my work that I hadn't noticed the time."

In most of his stops Dr. Fowler was able to make microfilm copies of manuscripts he wanted, and was able to check and double-check his previous list of sources. "I wrote a book on Engelbert in 1947," he confided. "I wish now that I'd made the trip first."

BOTH contain only those proven ingredients that make Chesterfield the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents (to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy—nothing else.

KING-SIZE

GAI

BOTH are exactly the same in all respects. There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger—contains considerably more of the same tobaccos—enough more to give you a 2 1 % longer smoke, yet costs very little more.
