The Pay Bill—^The Appropriations Bill <— Atomic Propaganda —

So You

Want Out! — Insurance Indebtedness — At-Large Appointment

By Fred Lardner

we've been sitting here some WELL, time now trying to lead oflf this column. There is so much action, so many reports . . . and rumor is so heavy in the air you can slice it with a knife.

With regard to the talk about the future of the Navy, you might remember one thing: Congress will decide that. So let's pass up the big issues, and discuss something more personal, the status of various personnel bills introduced earlier this year.

Disability and death benefits for Reserves (S. 213, by Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine): The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved this bill. Some Senators contend there is need for early action on it to make certain that Reserves will take to their scheduled training this summer. According to testimony on the bill, there have been hundreds of accidents, some of them fatal, during training of Reserves in the postwar period. The bill provides that members of Reserve components who suflFer disability or death from injuries occurred while engaged in active-duty training for periods of less than 30 days or in inactive-duty training shall be entided to the same pensions, compensation, retirement pay, and hospital benefits provided members of the Regular Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. This means hospitalization with full pay and allowances, retirement pay or pension if permanently disabled, and a six-months gratuity to dependents in case of death.

No additional benefits for death or disability from illness are provided.

Lump-sum payments to certain Naval and Marine Corps Reserve officers (S. 222, by Senator Smith): This bill has been approved by the Navy Department, and should be enacted. It directs the payment to officers (Reserves) retired pursuant to U. S. C. 34: 855C-1 (relating to Reserves called to active duty for 30 days or more and subsequently disabled) of a lump sum equal to their active-duty pay and allowances for the period beginning when placed on inactive status and ending on the date of retirement. Not applicable to Reserves retired pursuant to operation of U. S. C. 38: 693i, relating

IRMA AND THE H E R M I T

•

The two chief attractions of iRMA AND THE H E R M I T are the tide and the engaging picture (presumably taken within the last five years) of Irma on the off side of the dust-jacket. Irma will be no hermit when a few young Navy stalwarts spot that, even if she is married to an (ugh) army officer.

Anyway, Irma and her little boy Stevie went off to Korea in an army transport to join her husband. Like every American wife, she found life completely different from anything she had ever seen.

Unlike so many other American wives, she possessed the ability to write a pretty darn good account of her unusual experiences. The result is better than average reading and will especially appeal to women, who seem to have an insatiable curiosity about how ordinary living is conducted under extraordinary conditions.

Now as for the men, well, her picture is on the dust-jacket and you don't even have to buy the book to see it!

(Coward-McCann, $ 1.00) The name of R. C. Osborn is not unfamiliar to Navy people—especially those who wear wings. A Lieutenant Commander during the war, Osborn was the creator of "Dilbert" whose classic examples of how not to fly an airplane saved many a pilot's life.

But to get back to the book at hand.

On our cover this month is shown the State House of Maryland, located in the City of Annapolis ivhich is this year celebrating its Tercentenary.

This building is unique in that featured in its construction and surmounting, the brick building has a beautifully designed wooden dome. The corner stone of the building was laid in 1772 and in its old senate chamber, where the Continental Congress held its sessions, George W ashinglon resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the American Army in December, 1783.

OLD HKJPOLIS i6Jf9 -

i9^9

CCTF you have once lived in Annapolis, -*• you are bound to come back again . . ." wrote the Bentztown Bard* in a tribute to this old city by Severnside. How true, indeed, for there is something about the delightful old capital of Maryland—which for a time had the distinction of serving as the capital of our whole country as well—that has a wide and lasting appeal.

In 1649 the city on the Severn had its beginning when a few families of Puritan refugees from Virginia sought an abode in a Catholic colony and promised allegiance to Lord Baltimore.

They called their new home Providence but later the name was changed to Annapolis in honor of Princess Anne, daughter of James II of England. It became the capital of Maryland in 1694 and soon began its rise to fame.

The irregular streets, extending from the circles like spokes from the hub of a wheel, and the narrow alleys prompt many exclamations from the stranger.

Each has a history of its own and the native Annapolitan is ever willing to relate some interesting incident linked with Duke of Gloucester Street, King George Street, Charles Street, or probably Chancery Lane.

During the quarter of a century prior to the American Revolution, Annapolis was often referred to as "The Athens of America" and "The Paris of America" for it had become the political and social, as well as the commercial center of the Colonies. And now, over a long expanse of years, with its rich inheri* Folger McKinsey, author of A Rose of the Old Regime, etc.

tance of an excellent architectural raiment of the Georgian type, it still retains much of the atmosphere of the colonial period.

When the United States Naval School (Academy) was established over a hundred years ago, it had the good fortune of having Annapolis selected for its home. The proud old capital of Maryland had much to offer and, since the Academy's very beginning, midshipmen have had the advantage of living in proximity to an atmosphere of culture, historic background, and desire for the preservation of tradition. Many of those midshipmen and young officers, who had no innate love for such an influence of colonial charm as Annapolis presents, have, in later years, become thoroughly imbued with the fascination of the old city; and many officers have established their permanent residences here. Thus, the historic city on the Severn has become a mecca for admirals, commodores, captains and commanders, as well as officers of lesser rank. And not only naval officers but army officers as well have responded to the call of old Annapolis.

Before World War II and the necessitated curtailment in travel, the capital of Maryland was a goal of pilgrimages from all parts of our country as well as from abroad. Many visitors came to see the old city solely because of its historic background; others came to visit the Naval Academy and soon found much of interest outside the Naval Academy walls. And now, 300 years after a few famdies of Puritans sought an abode on the banks of the Severn, Annapolis still bids you welcome and MA Y,

proclaims with pride the pervading endowment of the very best examples of American Georgian to be found in any group of colonial dwelling houses.

Here are the stately town houses of three of Maryland's signers of the Declaration of Independence: Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase and William Paca. Here, too, are the excellently preserved public buildings frequented by the illustrious Washington, Lafayette, Franklin and others conspicuous for their national services.

Indeed, when leisurely wandering about the old city one may become so fascinated by its colonial charm as to visualize that he is actually living in those dramatic days when Annapolis played so important a role in the making of our nation's history. It is not difficult to envision men in knee breeches and powdered wigs strolling along these very thoroughfares; ladies riding in sedan chairs to an afternoon tea-party or to Sunday morning service at St. Anne's; and officers, ashore from ships at anchor in the Annapolis Roads, being entertained at

the Colonial Government House by Governors Horatio Sharpe or Robert Eden, or, after the Declaration of Independence in 1776, by our State Governors Thomas Johnson or Thomas Sim Lee.

T

HE old brick State House with its tali wooden dome occupies a commanding elevation in the center of the city. Its cornetstone was laid in 1772 by Sir Robert Eden, Maryland's last proprietary governor and the great, great, grandfather of Britain's Anthony Eden whom we all recognize as one of the most prominent statesmen of today. Here is the famous old senate chamber where the Continental Congress held its sessions at the close of the American Revolution, and where General Washington resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the American Army on December 23, 1783. A number of fine historical paintings hang in the wide halls of the State House; and in the office of the governor there are treasured portraits of those associated with the early histoty of the

sented by King William III an early benefactor. Here are many treasured memorials and the encircling churchyard contains the graves of many persons closely identified with the early history of Maryland. A marble slab bears the name of Amos Garrett, the first mayor of Annapolis; another recalls the Honorable Benjamin Tasker who died in 1768 after serving as President of the Governor's Council for thirty-two years; and another recalls the last British Governor of Maryland, Sir Robert Eden.

Reynold's Tavern, now the Annapolis Public Library, adjoins the Farmers' National Bank on Church Circle. This fine colonial house of the early 18th century was a popular rendezvous in its day for the young bloods of Annapolis and surrounding county. Before the present bank building was erected, the old tavern was used as the Farmers' Bank of Maryland.

Business was conducted in what is now the large reading room of the library and the cashier maintained his living quarters on the second floor.

Duke of Gloucester Street still retains the old Assembly Rooms where General Washington is said to have been entertained during some of his many visits to Annapolis. The budding was erected from the proceeds of a lottery drawn for the purjxjse of providing the town a hall for balls, receptions, and other forms of entertainment. Within the next block the stately Ridout House built in 1762 by John Ridout, private secretary to Governor Horatio Sharpe, presents a charming picture of colonial splendor. John Ridout married Mary Ogle, daughter of Governor Samuel Ogle, and this well preserved residence has the distinction of still being occupied by descendants of the original owner.

Not far distant and overlooking Spa Creek is the old Carroll estate. The mansion was built by Charles Carroll, father of the Charles Carroll of Carrollton who was one of Maryland's signers of the Declaration of Independence. The lovely terraced gardens, with their walks and boxwood hedges give a suggestion of those days when Chase, and Paca, and the illustrious Washington tarried there. ' I ^HE Convent of the Sisters of Notre -â&#x20AC;˘- Dame on Shipwright Street was built as the town house of Dr. Upton Scott in 1760 or thereabouts. Dr. Scott's wife, by the way, was a grand-aunt of Francis Scott Key, author of our National Anthem.

The well-proportioned residence, with its fine interior wood carving is another colonial gem preserved for posterity.

T

HREE hundred years ago a small band of Puritan exiles from Virginia sailed up the Severn River, settling on a fertile strip of land called Greenberry's Point—the present site ^-f the Naval Radio Station. Soon they moved across the river to a more favorable spot and the settlement, "Providence," was under way.

But like a whimsical lady, that name was changed five times: from Providence to "Town at Proctor's," "Town Land at Severn," "Arundel Town" and finally, in 1694, to "Annapolis."

From then until shortly after the Revolution, Annapolis was the social and industrial center of North America. Here came such visitors as the Marquis de Lafayette, General Braddock and Count Rochambeau. George Washington slept here—many times.

During this golden age, the port of Annapolis was filled with tall-masted sailing ships from all over the world, with cargoes of silks and spices and treasures from the old world. Here were the English Royal Governors and their titled ladies, wealthy Maryland tobacco merchants and planters and their Virginia friends; here were racehorse touts and French hairdressers—all riding in grand carriages drawn by superb horses.

Then, Annapolis was called the "Athens" and the "Paris" of the Colonies.

But came a day following the Revolution when Baltimore's rapidly increased population and wonderful port saw to the diminishing of Annapolis and, like an aging beauty, the golden glow turned to tinsel and the tinsel into ashes. She was called the "Finished City." ' ^ Not until 1845 did Annapolis again come into her own—due to the founding of the U. S. Naval Academy.

With the ever-growing Academy, from its handful of 50 midshipmen and seven instructors to the present Brigade with a strength of 3300 and over four hundred instructors, a multi-million dollar business has been built up, giving a direct and indirect living to thousands.

Annapolis will never again be called the "Finished City" as long as there is a United States Navy.

The present plans for the Annapolis Tercentenary Celebration are big ones: the official opening on Sunday, 22 May, will bring President Truman before the MAY,

1949

Monday, 23 May, is "Maryland State Day." A Tercentenary Commission luncheon will honor distinguished guests—including, it is hoped, the Governors of the thirteen original Colonies—and on this day the First Day issue Stamp, marking the occasion, will go out over the Nation.

Tuesday, 24th, is "Anne Arundel County Day" with a parade to spotlight the afternoon.

Wednesday, 25 th, "Organizations Day," open house in various clubs, parade in the afternoon.

Thursday, 26th, "Severn and Chesapeake Day"; informal water carnival from the Severn Bridge, up the Severn to the Eastport bridge; water parade with flares, music, fireworks designed with anniversary features. Boats will show the evolution of travel on the Chesapeake Bay, life at the U. S. Naval Academy, and Annapolis as a yachting center. In the afternoon, dunking drills, life saving by

T

HROUGHOUT the celebration, exhibits will be held in the State Armory, the Hall of Records—with the Charter of Annapolis, 1708, among the objects on display—the Naval Academy Museum and Academy Library, Public Library—^formerly the ancient Reynold's Tavern—and Colonial homes opened to visitors.

Among the many objects of interest in the Naval Academy Museum is the first edition of a book written by Captain John Smith of Pocahontas fame—the first white man ever to step foot on "Mary's Land." On display will be many objects pertaining to the first days of the founding of the Naval School, and time will again turn backward to an era when dancing was considered by one Superintendent as an "invention of the devil" and the honor system had not been inaugurated.

In the beginning, some folks thought the Naval School something of a detriment; the salty old sea dogs considered it far too easy; and Annapolis mothers of young ladies kept a wary eye on the naval cadets who made a habit of "frenching out" on the town in search of food and fun.

A big stone windmill, grinding twelve bushels an hour, was the original landmark whereon Fort Severn was built. On 15 August, 1845, Fort Severn was transferred by the War Department to the Navy and on the morning of 10 October Comdr. Franklin Buchanan addressed the fitst group of Midshipmen and instructors. The quarters were a far cry from today's Bancroft Hall, with four stashed to a room and of such construction that one Midshipman Edward Simpson of the Class of 1846 said that the "incoming 7

rain was rather the more objectionable since the one-grate fire was not sufficiendy high to melt the snow." This was in Apollo Row, with others quartered in Rowdy Row, once the post hospital; Brandywine Cottage, once the bake house; and a small building the students called the Gas House.

Just a stone's throw from the Academy, off Horn Point, is the site of the Battle of the Severn, said to be the first naval battle in waters of the United States of America. On the 24th of March, 1654, Governor Stone—the fiirst Royal Governor—arrived by boat with his troops along "about the shutting in of the evening," to attack, the following day. Captain Fuller and his group of 120 Colonists. The attack was due to the colonists' rebellion against Lord Baltimore and his Oath of Fidelity which, if they didn't take, they could have "no land or abiding in the Province."

The charge was fierce and sharp for a time, with the Colonists winning the fray . . . "Governor Stone, Colonel Price, Captain Gerrard and all the rest of the councillors, officers and soldiers of the Lord Baltimore were taken and so were all their vessels, arms, anmiunitions and provision; about fifty men were slain and wounded," so ran an account. "We lost only two in the field; but two died since of their wounds. God did appear wonderful in the field, and in the hearts of the people, all confessing Him to be the only worker of this victory and deliverance."

In an account of Mr. Leonard Strong, one of Captain Fidler's council, at Providence, four of Stone's party were put to death and his own head was in the balance. But, as in the ways of women, Mrs. Stone besought the captain to save her husband, which was done.

The Puritans of Providence thus secured to themselves the goverrunent of the province, detained Stone and his men as prisoners of war, proceeded to the sequestration of their property, whom they termed delinquents. But six years later, his lordship was again restored to fidl enjoyment of his province, "to the content and peace of all parties." Royal Governors from then on held sway until the Revolution.

Since its founding, Annapolis has never been known to falter in the cause or defense of American rights and liberty.

Since the signing of the Treaty of Peace with the marauding Susquehannock Indians under the widespread limbs of the 800-year-old Liberty Tree to the burning of the brig PEGGY STEWART off Windmill Point by her owner Anthony Stewart who preferred to lose the cargo of tea rather than his integrity, Annapolitans have been staunch in the defense of "Mary's Land." In defiance of the Stamp A a , a "considerable number of people, As8

sertors of British American privileges," met at Annapolis to show their "detestation of, and abhorrence to, some late tremendous attacks on liberty, and their dislike to a certain late arrived officer, a native of this province."

The people paraded through the streets of the town, tolling a bell, and burned in effigy the figure of the stamp master who left in haste—preceding tar and feathering—with which the citizens were going to present him for his supjX)rt of the Stamp Act. In 1766, the Sons of Liberty from Baltimore, Kent and Anne Arundel counties, met and made written application to the chief justice of the provincial court, and other officials, to proceed as usual in the execution of their duties—and the Stamp Act virtually became null and void. On the 5 th of April that year, the act was repealed and the citizens spent the afternoon in "congratulation and mirth, and all loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk."

Throughout the eight years of strife, Annapolis men were in the front line and the "Free State" troops were often called the "bayonets of the Revolution." Maryland repeatedly came to Washington's aid with fresh troops—and a plaque now stands in Brooklyn honoring the four hundred Marylanders who sacrificed themselves at Long Island—the men who saved the American Army.

Since its beginning, the Naval Academy has played a great role in the defense of America. It was barely underway when the Mexican War threw all into confusion, with midshipmen detached for ac-

tive dut)'—even the Superintendent, Comdr. Buchanan, left for a post at sea. the coming of the first rumors WofITHsecession at the outbreak of the Civil War, there came a time which parallels the period from 1775 to 1776 when in Annapolis, two parties gradually formed, those who stood for loyalty and those who stood for rebellion. And again there was displayed as nowhere else, a kindly p>ersonal feeling between the two sides which is not often commented upon. The midshipmen had been together too long and had formed too close friendships to allow partisan feeling to overcome personal regard and affection.

On the 24th of April, Captain Blake, the superintendent, prepared to send the midshipmen away on the CONSTITUTION and the Class of 1861 met and smoked together the pipe of peace, and pledged themselves to eternal friendship. When the drums beat for the final formation, all fell in as usual. Then C. P. R. Rodgers, the commandant, ordered the band to play "Hail Columbia" and "The Star Spangled Banner," and addressed the whole body with a fervent plea to stand by the old flag. Then, ceasing, he ordered those who wished to fall out to do so.

The boys from the South and the border states stepped out of their places; personal farewells followed. Those who were to remain went aboard a tug to embark

The Academy grounds were enlarged, new buildings erected and the general outlook broadened. That the Academy was essentially sound, was demonstrated by the conduct of its graduates in the SpanishAmerican War in 1898, the first war where its product was in entire command.

At the beginning of the war, junior officers were too few for the needs of the Navy and the graduating class was sent to the fleet in April. Soon after, the class to graduate in 1899 secured permission to join their comrades and even members of the two lower classes were permitted to see anive duty.

After the battle of Santiago, Rear Admiral Cervera and 78 other officers were brought to Annapolis and quartered on the Academy grounds.

The Naval Academy opened its doors during World Wars I and II (when the course of study was shortened to three years) to officers and midshipmen of the U. S. Naval Reserve who were given short courses in navigation, seamanship, electrical and marine engineering, gunnery and Navy regidations, customs and athletic training. The part Naval Academy graduates have taken in these two wars needs no description—it is a matter of pride to all Americans. In the past three wars, the officers of the High Command have all been Naval Academy graduates . . . Dewey, Sampson, Schley, Sims, Rodman, King, Nimitz, Halsey, Mitscher, McCain, Spruance, Hewitt, Kincaid . . . its graduates have explored the Arctic, rhe Antarctic, and the far-reaching tests of the atom bomb at Bikini.

Fifty-six years elapsed between the inauguration of George Washington as the First President and the founding of the Naval Academy, but since then every president except McKinley has visited here. Kings and queens from foreign countries, ambassadors, secretaries of the Navy, literary and industrial figures, dig-

• • •

nitaries and families from all over the country—all come to the Academy at one time or another to visit a midshipman son, or the Chapel, the Museum or the colorful events of June Week, or athletic contests.

Annapolis has always had more than its share of interesting events, including a number of "firsts" in American history: the first public library—proposed by Governor Nicholson to the house of burgesses in 1697—and of the original books presented by King William III, some 400 are now preserved in the Hall of Records and in the library of St. John's College.

Notice of the first public jail was made in 1696 when an act of assembly passed "for keeping good rules and orders, a Bridewell where all idle and vagrant persons may be taken up and put to work there." Sufficient finances were not available, however, and America's first public jail was built three years later.

The first lottery was drawn in this province on the 21st of September, 1753, for the purchase of a town clock and clearing the dock. The highest prize was 100 pistoles. Here was erected the first theatre building, and the first dramatic criticism was made in the oldest newspaper in America— the Maryland Gazette, still published in Annapolis.

The State House, of which the city is so inordinately proud, is the oldest still in aaive use in the country. In the Old Senate Chamber, General Washington resigned his commission—and this is significant because it established the precedent of the military recognizing the superiority of civil government.

Within the old Chamber the Treaty of Peace was ratified with Great Britain in 1784; two years later the Annapolis Convention paved the way for the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

Four signers of the Declaration made their homes in Annapolis and three of their homes are still in use today. Foremost is Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and

was the boyhood home ANNAPOLIS • of Francis Scott Key who lived with his great aunt in Scott House during his youth, and it was the home of the portrait painter, Charles Willson Peale who followed the profession of a saddler throughout young manhood but who later painted the Father of Our Country some 60 times. He had served under the General at the Battles of Trenton and Princeton and Valley Forge.

The oldest social club in America is outside Annapolis, the South River Club of which the Maryland Gazette as long ago as 1746 spoke of as ancient... "The Gentlemen belonging to the ancient South River Club, to express their loyalty to his majesty on the success of the inimitable Duke of Cumberland's obtaining a complete victory over the Pretender and delivering us from persecution at home . . . have appointed a grand entertainment to be given at their club-house on Thursday next."

Club members still meet several times a year in the tiny aged wooden building where Colonial ancestors ate their oysters with as much gusto as their descendants do today.

The Annapolis Jockey Club was frequently attended by George Washington who carefully set down in his record book his wins and losses at the races. These races seem to have determined the times of his many visits and they were the occasion for most of the social events, the theater, the balls, even the sessions of the provincial court.

The traditions of this Colonial city are kept alive by its people who take great pride in their preservation. They consider the old homes "living" examples of the character of their builders. These houses still have their original silver locks and marble fireplaces in every room, the great end chimneys, the widow's walks {Continued on page 15)

Russian Clergyman Honored By Midshipmen Russian Club

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON

March 24, 1949 Mr. Donald S. Walker, President Naval Academy Alumni Association 200 Madison Avenue New York 16, New York Dear Mr. Walker: .\ iiioÂŤ^t critical professional manpower shortage is facing the Medical Departments of the Armed Forces. The urgency of the need for physicians and dentists can be judged from the fact that by July of this year the Armed Forces will have lost almost one-third of their present staffs of physicians and dentists. The tours of duty of these professional men will expire and normal procurement measures cannot fill the vast number of vacancies that will arise.

By the end of July we will be short about 1,600 physicians and 1,160 dentists. By next December this shortage will grow to 2,200 physicians and 1,400 dentists. This shortage means that the Armed Forces will not have enough professional men to give minimum medical service to the almost 1,700,000 men and women who are serving their country.

Your organization has been asked many times for assistance in special drives and campaigns for the welfare of our country. You have at all times shown whole-hearted cooperation.

We have sought and received support in this campaign from the professional societies from the national to the community level. Deans of medical and dental schools and the heads of hospitals also have been asked to cooperate in this emergency.

The success of this procurement campaign will depend primarily upon public understanding and public support. The people of the United States must be made aware of the seriousness of the problem which faces us. If this shortage is allowed to develop, it could jeopardize our entire national defense program.

The Medical Departments of the Armed Forces and your Government ask your cooperation in averting a situation that could have serious effects on the security of this country. You and your members can help us inform the people of this country of the vital needs of the Medical Departments of the .Armed Forces. You can urge these young men who received their medical and dental educations during the war years, and who have given no service, to volunteer their services to their country now when the need is so great.

It must be made clear that we are not asking for physicians or dentists from areas where a shortage already exists. We are only trying lo replace the physicians and dentists who have completed their obligation and who will be relieved from duty with the Armed Forces and will return to civilian life to practice their professions.

Your cooperation in this campaign can be of inestimable value and will be greatly appreciated by the Medical Departments of the Armed Forces, the young men and women in our Armed Forces and the families of these young people.

Sincerely yours, James Forrestal

SHIPMATE has recently learned that three naval graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at the invitation of Dr. Clark Goodman of the Laboratory for Nuclear Science and Engineering at M.I.T., presented technical papers at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society held at Columbia University the latter part of January, 1949.

The names of the naval officers and the subjects of their talks are: Cdr. John E. Dacey, USN ('38), "Nuclear Shielding Smdies"; Lt. Cdr. Roger W. Paine, Jr., USN ('39), "Determination of Absolute Neutron Intensities"; and Lt. Cdr. Victor Delano, USN ('41), "Shielding Studies in Concrete." Reports of their research will appear in an early issue of the Physical Review.

These officers were elected to membership in the American Physical Society.

They completed their graduate work at M.I.T. in February, 1949, with the degree of Master of Science in Physics, and are now on an extended field trip. Their studies were sponsored by the Bureau of Ordnance and The Naval Postgraduate School.

MIDSHIPMEN'S ACTIVITIES {Compiled by the Third Class Members of the Public Relations Committee.)

T

HE Masqueraders of the Naval Academy presented "Arsenic and Old Lace" to the officers, midshipmen, and general public in Mahan Hall during the last week of March and the first of April.

The play was attended by near capacity crowds at each performance and was acknowledged by aU who attended as an excellent reproduction of the famous Broadway show.

The presentation, a hilarious comedy, was produced by Midshipman Richard F. Frost and directed by Midshipman Alfred C. Boughton. Invaluable assistance was afforded by Professors Royal S. Pease and Allen Blow Cook, whose untiring efforts were in a large part responsible for the success of the play.

The cast, composed entirely of midshipmen, mrned in an almost professional job. John Booth and Basil Ladas, as the Brewster aunts, produced flawless female dialogue. Supporting them were Boughton, as Mortimer and his true love, Elaine Harper, in the person of Robert Jones.

Henry Nix portrayed the Insane "Teddy Brewster and kept cast and audience alike wondering at his dissemble of being Teddy Roosevelt. Thomas Hamil, Raymond Madden, and Donald Lind provided a strong foundation in the minor roles, with exceUent aaing.

In the opinion of many who have witnessed numerous Masquerader efforts "Arsenic and Old Lace" was the finest in that organization's history. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;T. A.M.,'51.

Chess Club The chess playing element, which often is the butt of "Spanish Athlete" jokes around Bancroft proved itself mightier than mere words last month by meeting and defeating the Annapolis Chess Club.

The members of the city group are, for the most part, instructors in the Department of Mathematics at the Academy.

Concentrating their strength in the lower boards the midshipmen came out on the long end of an 8V^ to 4V2 score.

50's Lucky Bag With the first class "bag" nearly finished and ready for distribution to the Brigade the second class are moving into the production spotlight. The latest word 13

from the first wing basement is that the printing contract for the Lucky Bag of 1950 has been awarded to Baker, Jones, and Hausauer Company of Buffalo, New York.

For the '49 book, the final proofs are being reviewed and Editor Don Gairing swears that it will be ready on schedule.

The hard-working Business Manager Tom Donoher is daily adding more gray hairs as he finishes up his tour of duty.

If the efforts of these two men are any indication, the "book" ought to be a resounding success.

Hot Leads Each year the Brigade and visitors to the Yard are treated to a variety of gay and unusual electrical displays. During the past few months the famous "BEA'T ARMY" blinker atop the front entrance of Bancroft HaU and the flashy display that dominated the Beat Army Hop caught the most attention from aU hands.

This latter, which depicted a ship sheUing the Army Mule into submission, was a very elaborate affair. These signs, the displays which advertise the Masqueraders Show, special lighting effects, and many

other such presentations are the work of the Midshipmen's Juice Gang. The Juice Gang, 18 men strong, is sponsored by Lt. Comdr. D. S. Bill. Its "head men" are D. Clement, 1/c, and his first assistant, R. W. Ridenour, 1/c. They supply all the special lights that are needed around the •Yard throughout the year. Thanks to some wonderful cooperation and help from Commander Konigsberg the boys have a completely equipped shop in Mahan HaU, where they spend hours dreaming up new and different circuits to light the Academy for special occasions. Needless to say, the Juice Gang does weU in the electronics course. Its ranks are filled by men who, in general, have previous exp>erience in electrical work, through former service as ETM's or RM's or in some cases through college work prior to entry into the Academy. A few men have managed to pick up the work from scratch, since experience is not a requisite for membership in the Gang.

One of their newest endeavors is radio station WRNV. This station is the Brigade's answer to the commercial fads on the local stations. It got so bad that no one ever heard any music. Only tailors' ads or toothpaste ballyhoo. The Juice

Gang got together and devised WRNV. WRNV is a limited area station, which can be heard from receivers located near Academy power supply lines. The programs are not radiated into space, but fed over the AC power system in Bancroft. The result is that it does not interfere at all with commercial activities, but it completely cuts out the commercials which caused so much discomfort in the Brigade. The station comes on at reveille and works through until classes start after breakfast. It resumes activities during recreation hours and signs off for the day at study hour. The mainstay of the programs is recorded music, played continuously without break, but when VIPs come to Bancroft for lectures, the station cuts off its music and makes the speeches available to all radios in the HaU. The station is a real boon to the Brigade and a lot of credit goes to the Juice Gang for its inception. Everyone in Bancroft likes to hear "This is station WRNV, the Midshipmen's own limited area broadcasting station, broadcasting on a frequency of 680 kilocycles, with smdios in Smoke HaU." Life at Navy is definitely better.

The Log The sack will soon be dropped at the Naval Academy office of the Log. Minneapolitan Bob White succeeds John Leyerle of Poughkeepsie, New York, as editor of the Academy magazine. Other changes in executive control extend down the hne.

The annual Femmes Issue received a large response from the feminine fanciers of Navy, and an excellent issue resulted.

With the idea that the fairer sex can liven up issues—Brigade reaction proved it— the Log decided to instimte a search throughout the Brigade for its most attractive drag. Residts will be forthcoming.

An Esquire parody, the Logsquire, marked the epitome of the year's aaivity.

The large June Week issue is in the processing stage.

Advice to the prospective drag at the Academy wiU be modernized with the pubhcation of the ultra Drag's Handbook. The wheres and whyfors of the social hfe at Navy have been thoroughly covered. The new edition is now being printed and wiU be distributed soon.

SOUND OFF 2011 Pillsbury, Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn.

March 6, 1949 Editor, SHIPMATE Annapolis, Maryland Dear Editor: May I add my voice to the recent "I Gave Up the Ship" articles?

It is reaUy difficult to approach this problem fairly and squarely from all angles. But may 1 say that both articles left out a fundamental principle—man only lives once, and he is wise to follow a pursuit in which he will find the most happiness. In other words, to say "one should not resign" or "one should resign" is foolish. Every person is differenr, and must make up his own mind.

It is certainly true that money does not come easily on the "outside." But who would say that money is the most important thing in life? I make a point of this, as 1 feel that the Navy would be much better off to lose the few officers who are unhappy in the Service. They shotdd not be scared out by this talk of the "tough" outside. It really isn't so tough, for miUions seem to get through it all right. I saw officers while I was part of the Navy who had become irritable, impossible to get along with, and it was not hard to guess that they were unhappy in their work. They were "scared" to make the break.

The important thing is that there are reaUy very few officers who seriously dislike the Service. 1 am much happier in civilian life, but 1 can think of only a few of my classmates who would enjoy doing the types of things that I am doing.

I have found my field in business, with a great deal of social work on the side, and would not change for the world. But I know it would not suit many of my classmate friends.

Let's sum it up this way—don't, for your own sake and the Navy's sake, stay in the Service simply because it pays well and because you can be retired. If you are not happy in your work, or at least reasonably contented, then make the break. Don't let yourself become a disappointed, disillusioned, crabby officer.

You may find your field, though you may not make a formne.

On the other hand, if there are only a few things you don't like about the Navy, and the rest is O. K., remember that there will always be plenty of objectionable things wherever you go, as that is life for sure. The good Lord thought it

inadvisable to make a bed of roses anywhere.

Yours very truly, John F. Geisse (Resigned, '42)

710 Wilshire Boulevard Santa Monica, California Dear Editor: SHIPMATE has just published two excellent articles on "1 Gave Up the Ship."

These were the comments of Mr. W. C. Williams and Charles A. Meeker on the advisability of leaving the naval service for civilian life. This letter is written because I believe that there is still more to say and because it would seem to be a good time to have it out. Let us get all of the facts together.

The two authors noted have dwelt principally upon the hardships of civiUan life and the difficulties of finding sufficiently remunerative work. There are two other important points that I wish to make. These are psychological rather than material and are: 1. There must be certain degrees of dissatisfaction with and/or unsuitabUity for the navy which make it wise for a man to terminate his service.

2. Life is worth living to the utmost and a man should do that thing in which he can place his love and enthusiasm, with due regard to his duty to country and family.

It would seem that these points are both valid and obvious. My desire is to caU them to your attention and even to accent them. It is certainly not just to the navy nor to one's self to live a life where one's prime object is to "keep his finger on his number." There are too many such people, both in and out of the service. Enthusiasm for one's work is especially necessary in the service where one must inspire others in his charge.

Likewise, one owes it to himself and his associates to draw something from his work besides a salary. Life can be beautiful. In fact, it should. So when we make out our ledger sheet with its credits and debits—its pros and its cons—let us not forget to add in with the doUars the satisfactions that come from congenial work, whether in or out of the service.

Let's live our lives! America stiU offers great opportunity to aU—everywhere.

Under the program nearly 10,000 men and women wiU be commissioned in the Staff Corps and for special service in the General Line; also, an unlimited number wUl be commissioned for limited service in the General Line.

A $600 a-year, fuU four-year tuition scholarship is being offered by the trustees of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to the son of an officer, warrant officer, petty officer or non-commissioned officer on the active or retired list of the Navy and Marine Corps, or to the sons of deceased personnel of the above categories.

The smdent selected wiU be awarded free mition amounting to $600 a year and will enter the Troy, N. Y., Instimte in September 1949 to take one of the twelve undergraduate courses that lead to a Bachelor's degree.

Application forms may be obtained from the Dependents Service Branch, Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington 25, D C. # # * Daughters of Naval officers, who are graduates of the Naval Academy and on active duty, are being offered two partial scholarships, each providing $800 per year, by the trustees of the Ogontz School, Montgomery County, Pa. The scholarships are for the two year course beginning this September in the Ogontz Junior CoUege and are not restricted as to place of residence. The fuU charge for board and mition amounts to $2,000 annually, plus fees or any special courses. Applicants, in order to receive

the scholarships, must be high school graduates.

Parents desiring to have their daughters considered for this scholarship must apply to the Commandant of the Eleventh Naval District, San Diego, Calif., or to the Superintendent of the Naval Academy, Aimapolis, Md., prior to 30 April. * * * Public school and civUian agency guidance counselors are now receiving a new occupation information tool from the Bureau of Naval Personnel in the form of the "United States Navy Occupational Handbook."

The publication gives the major types of information needed to describe the 62 vocations for which the Navy furnishes training. It is in keeping with the Navy's policy that "Good Recruiting is Good Guidance," which encourages young people to stay in high school, graduate and go on to coUege if they can.

Each description gives a definition of the job, duties and responsibUities of it, where employed, the path of advancement, related Naval and civilian occupations, and the emergency service rating which woidd be in use during a war. * * * Don't bet against anyone who is saying that Naval officers may salute while uncovered.

Under new Navy Department regidations Naval Officers now may return a salute when they are not wearing a hat.

Old regidations forbid saluting while uncovered, but the 1948 Navy Regidations just put into effect state that persons uncovered may return a salute when failure to do so would cause embarrassment; however, in any other case persons are forbidden to salute whUe uncovered.

Main utilization of this regulation wiU be in dealings of Naval officers and members of the Army and Air Force, both services being required, in certain cases, to salute even though uncovered. * * * A 40-weeks course in guided missiles at Fort Bliss, Texas, is being offered qualified regidar Navy Line officers, including aviators, and Civil Engineering Officers. Classes convene in August and November.

To be eligible officers must be in the grades of lieutenant, lieutenant commander, or commander and have an engineering degree, or its equivalent, and a working knowledge of college physics and integral and differential calculus. In addition, it is desired that applicants have a background in radar, radio, electricity or advanced mathematics.

Applications must reach the Bureau of Naval Personnel (Attn: Pers 311E2) prior to 15 May 1949, and must be accompanied with a signed agreement not to resign during the course and to serve two years in the Naval service after the completion of the curriculum.

Officers seleaed wiU be issued permanent duty orders for the period of the course. * * * Plans for the AU-Navy footbaU and baseball championships in 1949 have been announced.

The basebaU AU-Navy finals wiU be held the week of 11 September with the aaivity represented by the championship team of the Pacific Area serving as host.

In footbaU, inasmuch as the 1948 tide tUt was held on the East Coast, this year's match goes to the Pacific and the Western Sea Frontier Command has been designated as host aaivity. The contest will be played 10 December. * * * The world's largest commercial type airplane in regular service, the Navy's Constimtion, wUl leave San Francisco on 2 May, for a 10,000-mile, six-weeks tour of 18 cities, flying as far east as Buffalo, N.Y. Chief objeaive of the tour wiU be to introduce the nation to the latest in military transports and to acquaint young men and women with career possibilities in the U. S. Navy and the Naval Reserve, and the oppormnities for first-class flight training under the Navy's aviation programs.

In answer to the question as to why the Navy has the plane, its history shows that early in the war it was seen that there was a vital need for large air-transports.

At that time, the White House designated the Navy to be responsible for the designing, construction and testing of the Constimtion. This has taken five years, and at present the Navy is responsible for evaluating the plane's peacetime and wartime logistics role, at the conclusion of which the plane wiU be made available to the National MUitary Establishment.

The Constimtion is commanded by Commander William M. Collins, Jr., USN, who was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1934. * * # Winners In First All-Service Photography Contest Announced Lt. Col. Richard W. Wallace, SouthMAY,

Navy on Capitol Hill (Continued from page 2) tude has been that an officer should not have to worry too much during his active career about what wiU happen to him and his famUy when he is retired.

Some of the best testimony, from the Naval officer's viewpoint, was presented

by Vice Admiral H. G. Hamlet, former commandant of the Coast Guard and now president of the Retired Officers' Association. Admiral Hamlet contended there are no "hidden benefits" in service pay. The average officer's family, he said, encounters heavier costs of living than the famUy of the average professional man or business executive.

The Appropriations Bill It seems ro this correspondent that the Air Force with its tremendous publicity campaign is winning its fight to gain strength for itself and weaken Naval Aviation. You may have read magazine articles lamenting the fact that the number of planes operated by the Navy is about equal to the number operated by the Air Force. They must have had some effea, for, as the military budget shapes up now, the Air Force will be able to pm:chase three times as many new planes as the Navy in the fiscal year beginning 1

July.

President Truman in his budget request aUotted a total of $14,765,000,000 for the armed services. The Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended an overaU military appropriation of $17,439,000,000. Representative Carl Vinson, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has been campaigning for a budget of $16,364,600,000, $1,599,000,000 more than the Presidential budget, which after aU is merely the Budget Bureau's budget.

The President authorized 843 new Navy planes and 1,669 new Air Force planes. Vinson would add 518 additional new Navy planes to the President's

estimate, and 702 new Air Force planes.

The House Appropriations Committee has suggested an increase of more than $1,000,000,000 in the mUitary budget, from $14,765,000,000 to $15,909,116,800. Almost aU this increase, however, was earmarked for the Air Force, for the purchase of 2,550 new planes.

"In 1950," said Representative Vinson, talking of his campaign, "the Navy wiU need about 1,700 aircraft to keep up with attrition and obsolescence in that year.

This would cost about $1,300,000,000.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff recommendation was for less than this—$1,030,000,000, permitting the procurement of 1,361 aircraft. Now we come to the President's budget for ordy 843 aircraft in 1950. This is almost exactly half as many as are needed to maintain a modern naval air arm in 1950."

As approved by the House Appropriations Committee, the 1950 appropriations bUl gives the Air Force $6,216,709,000, as compared to the President's $5,428,887,000; the Army $4,481,834,200, a decrease from the President's $4,695,875,700; and the Navy $5,018,873,600, a decrease from the President's $5,138,352,000.

Since the committee did not authorize any new Navy planes other than the 843 approved by the President, the Navy wiU have to reduce its operating aircraft from 8,183 to 7,765, a reduction of 418 planes. Nine air stations wiU have to be inactivated, and three others placed on a maintenance basis.

Secretary SuUivan testified that the President's budget requires a manpower reduction of 29,500 officers and enlisted men of the Navy and Marine Corps, the inaaivation of three attack carriers, nine light cruisers, and three antiaircraft cruisers, making a total of 72 vessels to be inaaivated, and reducing the aaive fleet from 755 vessels to 731. The committee eliminated funds to modernize two Essex-type carriers, leaving the Navy with the prospea of a shortage of planes to handle the newest planes.

SPECIAL FINANCING SERVICE

Atomic

Propaganda

Reader's Digest has been publishing articles by William Bradford Huie who has, the Digest says, "for years been the close confidant of several of the ablest U. S. Air Force generals." Mr. Huie argues for air-atomic power, and decries the theory of balanced power.

But, he says sadly, the air officers "can not speak freely, as can their opposite numbers in the Army and Navy, who are, of course, satisfied with the present arrangement. Prisoners of the official party line, our air officers are actually under strict censorship in aU their public statements."

WeU, now, who has been making aU that noise about air power during the past year or so?

Most of the complaints against official muzzling of service authorities, as we remember them, have concerned the muzzling of Naval officers. Only recendy we heard Representative Edith Nourse Rogers say over the radio that she would continue her efforts to permit the Navy to teU its story.

Here in part is what David Lawrence has to say on the subjea. Mr. Lawrence in our opinion is the most able commentator in Washington, particularly on economic affairs, and if his advice were foUowed, there would be less spending for political purposes.

"A propaganda is being carried on by zealous enthusiasts of air power which is giving miUions of people the impression that airplanes, flying from the United States as a base and carrying the atomic bomb, wiU win the next war in a matter of weeks. AcmaUy, no one high up in the armed services or in any branch of it believes any such thing.

"The big point about the atomic bomb problem is that it costs a good deal of money to make them and that for a long whUe they will not be so plentiful that squadrons of planes can take off from America, aU loaded with atomic bombs, and fly to Europe followed by another

"Some differences of opinion stiU exist as to whether the Navy should carry on any long-range bombing from the decks of aircraft carriers or whether this method of attack shaU be abandoned altogether because the Air Force says it is unnecessary.

Insurance Indebtedness Two bills concerning money borrowed on veterans' government life insurance have been introduced. H. R. 3687, by Representative Sidney Camp of Georgia, would amend section 304 of the World War Veterans Act to provide interest of 4 per cent a year on loans for reinstatement of lapsed or canceled yearly renewable term insurance. The present rate is 5 per cent. Under this biU, any person who has, under the requirements of section 304 and as a condition to the reinstatement of such insurance or to the continuation in force of such insurance in either its original form or any form to which it may have been reconverted, paid as interest on unpaid premiums any sum in excess of simple interest at the rate of 4 per cent per year, shall be entitled to have refunded the amount of interest so paid in excess of simple interest at 4 per cent.

H. R. 3690, by Representative Aime Forand of Rhode Island, would cancel all interest on indebtedness resulting from unpaid premiums on lapsed or canceled life insurance, provided such debts are paid within two years or the veteran's policy mamres within that time.

These bills were introduced in late March, and have been referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

No action as yet.

At-Large

Appointments

Representative Harry Towe of New Jersey, an old Navy hand, believes that members of Congress should be permitted appointments to Annapolis and West Point from among young men living outside their own districts or states whenever candidates from within their districts or states fail to qualify. That failure, however, has to come late, after 4 February in the year of appointment for the Naval Academy and after 15 January in the year of appointment to West Point. Towe has introduced a biU, H. R. 3758, which would authorize such nonresident appointments. It has been referred to the Committee on Armed Services. No action yet.

Miscellaneous Cargo (Continued from page 3) A L L SORTS AND KINDS by Christopher

LaFarge (Coward-McCann, $3.00) Christopher LaFarge, perhaps best known for his Book-of-the-Month selection "The Sudden Guest" is in reality more of a verse and short story writer than novelist. Of some fifty short stories published since 1936, thirty have already been coUected in book form (The Wilsons, East by Southwest) and A L L SORTS AND KINDS is made up of an additional seventeen.

This latest volume represents neither the best nor the worst of LaFarge. He has been catholic in selection, and included are stories readily appreciated by teen-agers as well as those which the author freely admits are difficult of understanding by all but the well-mamred.

What makes his book unique is his preface and his comment following each story. As such, it wiU be of far more than average interest to the would-be writer, for LaFarge attempts to pass along some of the secrets of the trade, and these are precious to budding authors.

In the preface he discusses what he considers to be the major problems encountered in creative writing, such as construction, characterization, sustaining of interest and the humorous versus the serious subject. Again, in his comment following each of his short stories, he delivers his own estimate of the tale as iveU as a relevant history of its creation.

The reader may or may not agree with this self criticism, but he cannot fail to add to his own store of knowledge thereby.

by Sherman Kent (Princeton University Press, $3.00)

STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE

Mr. Kent suffers from a common literary fault—he can't use a simple word when he can find a complex one to take its place. When he writes of a subject so new that even he has to coin his own expression for it—strategic intelligence —and employs his abstractionisms to explain it, the reader is left dizzily hanging on the ropes.

Strategic intelligence is, according to the author, high-level foreign positive intelligence. Similarly, the speculativeevaluative form (another author term) is now commonly known as estimates, strategic estimates, evaluations, staff intelligence, capabilities intelligence, and so on. Similar definitions of terms invented by the author are scattered through the book.

There are two hundred some pages in this treatise which may turn out to be a milestone in the advancement of intelligence as a science, but it is a safe bet that like the original Einstein theory, only a dozen others in the world outside of the author will be able to appreciate it. If it has one-tenth the value of that theory it is a shame Mr. Kent couldn't find better ways of expressing himself; if it has none of the value, a lot of people will automaticaUy be thankfully spared needless mental gymnastics and a guilty compulsion to enroll at the nearest evening school.

The Bordley House, just off State Circle and the Shaw House with its unique lines, share with the Anthony Stewart House on Hanover Street and the quaint Sands House on lower Prince George Street much of our early history in its making.

Few cities in the United States have as large a storehouse of historical interest, or an atmosphere so infused with the fine traditions of the past, as Aimapolis — the historic city on the Severn and the home of the United States Naval Academy. Not mere sites where famous incidents took place, but the very streets, residences, and public buildings are retained in their original setting.

And in. addition to so rare a setting, Annapolis abounds in still another priceless legacy of the past. Courtesy, gentUity, and hospitality—three endowments so enterrwined and so inseparable — have been preserved and handed down from generation to generation.

V2 unit Other pure mathematics . Vj unit* U. S. History 1 unit Physics 1 unit Optional credits GVj units

# A fuU high school course in English, consisting of not less than three fuU years' work, is required; a maximum of three imits is aUowed regardless of whether three, three and one-half or four years have been devoted to this subject. * At least one and one-half years of Algebra are required; two years are advisable and preferable; if only one and one-half years of Algebra are offered, the certificate must present an additional half-year of pure mathematics, such as Solid Geometry.

The optional credits may be offered from any of the high school and coUege courses coming tmder the general headings of history, languages, mathematics science, phUosophy, etc. Subjects such as peimianship, stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping, Bible, free-hand drawing, music, agriculmre, etc., are not acceptable.

If the courses are avaUable and individual candidates have not progressed too far with their high school work by the time they decide to try for admission to the Naval Academy, it is recommended that they include a year of Chemistry, a year or more of any of the modern foreign languages, and a year or two of mechanical drawing in their optional courses.

The substantiating examination is based upon approximately two years of high school Algebra, one year of Plane Geometry, one-half year of Plane Trigonometry and approximately the full standard high school course in English.

(B) For admission by coUege certificate method and without mental examination other than U. S. Naval Academy Aptimde Test.

The candidate must present a secondary school certificate meeting the requirements stated in (A) above and an acceptable year of college work completed in an accredited junior coUege, college, technological school or university.

The subjects smdied in college must include at least six semester hours of college English and/or History (preferably English), six semester hours of pure mathematics (seleaed from College Algebra.

Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Calculus, etc.) and sufficient other accepta22

ble coUege courses to establish a total of at least twenty-four semester hours for the fuU year's work. It is expected that the candidate will undertake a normal year's work in coUege which usuaUy comprises from thirty to thirty-six semester hours of credit, and the Naval Academy looks with disfavor upon an arrangement designed to do nothing more than meet the minimum requirement of twentyfotu: semester hours. The freshmen schedule in an engineering or scientific college course wUl usually embrace the subjects of greater value to anyone contemplating admission to the Naval Academy.

However, as long as the Naval Academy subject requirements are met, no restriction is applicable on the selection of college courses.

(C) Regular entrance examination method of qualifying.

The fuU entrance examination is required in the cases of those who are unable to qualify by either of the certificate methods or who for other reasons may elect this method of qualifying. The examination is based upon and anticipates smdy of the foUowing subjects:â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FuU high school course in English.

Two years of Algebra.

One year of Plane Geometry.

One-half year of Plane Trigonometry.

One year of U. S. History.

One year of Physics.

These are the mandatory subjects in an acceptable high school certificate and the English and Mathematics portions of this examination are identical to the substantiating examination. The U. S. Naval Academy Aptitude Test is also required with both the substantiating and regular entrance examinations. ( D ) General administrative points in connection with the certificate methods of qualifying.

Graduation from a fully accredited secondary school is required for admission by either of the certificate methods. AU credits offered for admission by either of the certificate methods must be completed in regular classes in accredited

schools. Any school which is fuUy accredited by its own State Board of Education or by any of the various regional accrediting associations, or by coUeges and universities of recognized standing, wiU be accredited by the Naval Academy.

CoUege certificate candidates who do not have the necessary fifteen units of secondary school credit may make up their deficiencies by presenting acceptable college work in the lacking high school subjea or subjects. CoUege credit which is used for the purpose of making up secondary school deficiencies must, however, be in excess of the minimimi requirements for an acceptable coUege certificate.

For example, if the required one-half unit in Plane Trigonometry is not offered in the high school certificate, this subject may be offered in the coUege certfficate and in this event at least nine semester hours of coUege Mathematics wiU be necessary. CoUege work may also be offered to offset high school deficiencies in the cases of those attempting to qualify by the certificate-substantiating examination method.

A coUege certificate candidate who has a deficiency of only one unit of optional credit in his high school certificate may be accepted despite this deficiency provided his certificates otherwise meet requirements for acceptance.

In general, the Naval Academy considers three semester hours of coUege credit as equivalent to one-half unit of high school credit.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS Due to the breadth and technical phraseology of the physical requirements it is advisable to refer to the "Regulations Governing the Admission of Candidates into the U. S. Naval Academy as Midshipmen." Preliminary examinations at Naval Hospitals and certain other Naval Activities may be arranged upon presentation of a letter from a Member of Congress requesting that the examination be given or upon presentation of an authorization issued by the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department, Washington, D. C.

UNITED STATES MVAL ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Alumni ISews On the Bidletin Board at the Alumni House—

By Oretha Swartz

A Salute to the City of Annapolis 'X'HREE hundred years ago, the City of Annapolis was founded and in May of this year many groups and organizations from the State of Maryland and from the Country at large, will join its citizens in celebrating the Tercentenary of that historic occasion.

The Naval Academy Alumni Association joins these groups in general and the United States Naval Academy in particular in extending to His Honor the Mayor and to the Officials of the City Government and its citizens our sincere and deep appreciation of the things which the city has meant and does mean to alumni of the Naval Academy and our warmest good wishes for the continued prosperity and well being of the community in the years ahead.

If evidence is required of the spot of affection which the city holds in the hearts of her adopted sons, one has only to tally up the comparatively large number of officers who, with their families, after years of roaming our Country and the world, have chosen Annapolis as the place in which to establish their homes. Then again, alumni returning for Class Reunions or casual visits, set aside at least a portion of their time for a visit to old haunts, familiar places, or simply to roam the streets and again enjoy the charming atmosphere of this friendly city which they know so well.

Careful and planned preservation of the lovely homes and priceless relics of the early days of the history of the city have retained to Annapolis through the centuries, the charm which her founders built into her. To we Naval Academy Alumni she is much like a happy ship which has been our home and in which, on departure, we have left a part of ourselves, always in the hope of returning. She has weathered the years in a manner which shows that she was well found and we take pride and pleasure in awarding to the City of Annapolis, our hearty "Well Done."

ON THE

BULLETIN ^ ^ AlUMII HOUSE BOARD ttT WILL pay more for the ability to handle JL. people than for any other ability under the sun," John D. Rockefeller, Sr. is credited with saying . . . and since such best sellers as "How to Win Friends and Influence People" was written along this line, a great number of persons are thinking twice about how to handle people wisely and well—preferably without their knowing it.

The ability to get along with folks and understand them is highlighting the program followed out by the Naval Academy Foreign Languages Club, with each section of the club meeting every two weeks throughout the academic year and every five weeks at afterdinner speaking.

Not so many years ago, the most important phase of a naval officer's career was how to run a ship. This importance is not lessened by 1949's yardstick—but it is shared by the necessity of getting along with one's neighbor and the ability of conversing with him in his own tongue. There is the realization that an American naval officer today is an American ambassador who must be able to understand the social customs and history and traditions of foreign countries—when these foreign countries are so easily accessible to visit by ship and plane.

There" are five Foreign Language Clubs, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Russian. The latter has the most members, 175. In all, one-fifth of the entire Brigade has membership in the clubs, with the German Club ranking second in size with 130 members. The clubs are strictly extra-curricular.

All informal meetings are held in the Club Room located in the basement of Bancroft Hall, and the boys consider it the best and most comfortable of all the club rooms of any activity, due to its pale green walls and interesting picmres, its divans and chairs that a man can sit in with comfort, the library of books and newspapers written in all languages . . . the Readers Digest alone is in Spanish, French and Portuguese. . . . The phonograph has recordings in all tongues and the recording equipment allows the midshipmen to make their own recordings and hear how they sound.

The pictures on the wall include the charter of the United Nations, with signatures of all participating members, and the Danish ship DANMARK, which was presented by the midshipmen on the Danish practice cruise in 1946. And there's the flag presented by Capt.

Alvara Guitian, Naval Attache of the Spanish Embassy.

COMETIMES, particularly when one ^ has lived with a fickle woman for a few years, he is able to forecast coming events. After two years of active, intimate association with our Alumni one is bound to become familiar with our purists . . . our gripers . . . and above all the huge majority who not only "\tx. George do it" but steadfastly refuse to even take the trouble of finding out what George is doing.

Now mark my words . . . next year there is going to be a reborn theme song â&#x20AC;&#x201D;"The Annapolis gang is running the Alumni Association and I'll have none of it." If that is so there is no one to blame but yourselves. Actually this will not be catastrophic. The Annapolis Chapter is our most active and cooperative.

They have taken over the management of the local affairs of Alumni House and relieved the outlying membership of practically all expense in that department.

Yet by virtue of their very interest they (commendably) nominated 8 of the total of 17 nominees from whom the four

26

three-year term Natiorial Trustees are to be selected. The law of averages plus the stature of some of their nominees would indicate at least half of the new Board Members will be from Annapolis.

Get me right. 1 have no brief and only praise for the unstinting way Annapolis has supported our Alumni House. Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and Kenosha could have nominated the same number.

All it took was twenty-five National Association member signatures to nominate a huge slate from each Local Association.

There is nothing wrong with having the Board all from Annapolis . . . the only thing it might possibly affect is the national scope of the Board's thinking.

Voting closes 15 May. You have missed the Nominating boat but get aboard the Voting boat. There are five thousand paid up members entitled to vote. Send in your ballot now . . . it's on the last page of this issue . . . but if you still let "George do it" I hope the incoming President has a supply of this page reprinted to send out when the minority wolves start baying about January 1950!

HAT'S going on in Bancroft? WeU, the usual things that come up in May. Cruise, leave, graduation, and spring fever all are taking their place. The curise this year ÂŤ'iU be in two parts, the first half visiting Portsmouth, England and the second half Cherbourg, France. Before the final word was released the itinerary ran the gaundet from Rio de Janeiro to Attu and back, aboard everything from the CORAL SEA to a VMS out of New London. The scuttlebutt flew, but everyone was pleased with the final results.

The only complaint will probably be from the Class of '53, which will have to live all their Plebe Summer in company with about half of each of the upper classes.

With the coming of warm weather (and of course the rains) there also advents upon the scene the YP drill. They are usually well received by the firstclass but now and again something pops up to make them not so desirable. Among the things that make the drills a litde worrysome are weather, flag bags and officer instructors. Mostly it is the officer instruaors, who seem always demanding that their charges learn something during the periods on the Bay. One particular officer, whom we shall refer to as Mr. Bloop, is especially well known for his educational leanings on YP's.

On a certain drill recently the small aaft were practicing formation maneuvers, columns, line of bearing, and so on. The drill had been rather quiet and had not called for any quick aaion on the part of the midshipman OOD so Mr. Bloop, desiring to put his neophite to the supreme test, strolled quietly to the stern of the vessel and stood admiring the wake for several minutes. Suddenly he turned to one of the supernumeraries waiting nearby and said "Go forward and tell the officer of the deck that I have just fallen overboard." The astonished midshipman did as he was bidden.

"Hey, Joe, Mr. Bloop just feU overboard!"

Silence followed. Again the messenger called out, louder than before, "Hey Joe, Mr. Bloop just fell overboard!" Still there was a profound silence, broken only by the hum of the engines below decks. The third report nearly blasted the OOD off the deck. He turned calmly and looked the reporting classmate carefully from head to toe. Then, in his best quarterdeck manner he spoke, "Quartermaster, log that!" A rocket rose from the,stern when the answer was relayed to Mr. Bloop, the watch was relieved and YP drill continued, with a chastised first classman, formerly OOD, stationed on the 'midships pelorus, taking bearings in the not too pleasant wind that whistled around his shivering form.

Operation Camid (Modified), the modified meaning that the operation is a semi-weekly affair in which midshipmen and cadets from

the MiUtary Academy exchange rooms and duties for a week-end. Every other week-end a group of second and first class from Nav)' board a bus and head for West Point, while, at the other end of the trail, a similar group of Cadets head for Annapolis. The visits have been educational to aU concerned and most of those on the tours have enjoyed the new friends and ideas which they acquire. One rather unformnate secondclass Cadet, however, spent his week-end at Navy with a rather rosy hue on his face. It aU happened this way.

At West Point, reveille is somewhat different than it is in Bancroft HaU. It consists of a series of caUs and a formation outside, ten minutes after first caU, rain or shine, cold or hot. The Cadet in question was not briefed properly by his midshipinan host on his arrival in Annapolis. Furthermore, since his host's wife was not absent, the Cadet had to sleep alone in a room which had been vacated by two midshipmen who were visiting at West Point. On his first morning in Bancroft the Cadet, prompdy at 0625, ten minutes after reveille, started a litde belatedly to first formation. In the process he ran down two Plebes and a Youngster who had ventured into the corridor. He arrived breathlessly on the front terrace, expecting to be reported late to formation. Much to his discomfon he was greeted only by the vast expanse of brick and numerous hoots of derision from his more formnate mates in the rooms above, who had been properly informed as to our routine. Perhaps he is still blushing. His host is!

It has been said many times that midshipmen at the Naval Academy are the cream of the nation's youth and that they are mentally superior to their civilian counterparts. That may weU be true. We like to believe that it is, because we enjoy the inflation of ego that goes with being the aeam of something. However, there are times when the myth of superintelligence runs a bit thin in the seat, so to speak. For instance, take the incident of the seconddass Nav drill. At the end of this particular period the instructor chose to give his pupils a short drill in flag hoist signals. The second class, in faa all classes, have been well instruaed in flags and their uses, so that it was namral to expect that die class should understand some of the flags at least.

The instructor ran up a series of direareading hoists, while the class recorded the meaning of each in mrn. At the end of the period the papers were coUeaed and the midshipmen filed out of the room. The instruaor sat down and began checking the work. All went well until, on the third paper he found this meaning: "Is your crew at chow?" Looking back to his gouge of hoists he found this series of flags had been shown. "Interog-

SMITH writes from his present mailing address, American Airlines, Inc., Mills Field, South San Francisco, Calif.: "Having completed American Airlines pilot training and transition program and closed up the flying patch at Ardmore, Oklahoma, I am once again flying my own airplane. After three years of telling someone else how to do itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; is it ever a relief? Now flying Frisco to Tulsa, and Frisco to El Paso. Just found a house, and when the dust clears away will be settled at 59 Darcey Ave., San Mateo, Calif. Fireside 5-1716 (I think) and ready to enjoy California weather, if and when it ever stops raining."

The recent canvass of the Class to learn the number of 'Twenty-eight grandchildren on deck, reveals that we now have two grandfathers. Roy Reynolds was the first to achieve this dubious honor. On July 23, 1948, a granddaughter, Terry Jan Knox, was born to belabor him in a few years. To Bob Archer goes the distinction of being the grandfather of the first potential 'Twenty-eight representative in the Class of 1966.

To Miss Terry Knox a proud salute from the Class. To Master Robert Gerald Chamberlain, born 7 September, 1948, also a proud salute, and in a short while a memento to place on this desk in Bancroft Hall when he joins up in 1966 or thereabouts.

The first order of business was an expression of congramlations to our Marine colonelsto-be.

The proposed constitution was presented.

There was general agreement that, in order to get any business done, the governing body would all have to be in one place. The provision requiring the selection of councilors from those on duty or employed in the Washington area was accepted as best, because, like it or not, the chances of having duty in the Washington area are practically 100%, and in that case everybody will have a chance to be on the council if desired. The only thing in the proposed constitution to which the group offered objection was the proposal by the working committee that all regular officers in the class year group be invited to become regular members of the association. Since the organization is an alumni group, the proposed constitution will be altered to offer asstxiate memberships to all regular officers of the class year group.

Dear Admiral, Well, my roving days are over temporarily as the third class in Naval InteUigence shifts from the amphibious phase to the foreign language phase. From February to the 4th of AprU, we wandered more or less systematically from New London to Key West via Norfolk, Washington, New York, and the magic island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Our status changed from smdent, to observer, to watch officer, and back again during the weeks we were on the move. However, we are now settiing down to from four to eighteen months of language instruction and Washington will be our permanent home during that time if all goes well.

My nomadic travels gave me a chance to look into all phases of the Navy and in almost every instance, I found members of the Class of '42 right in the thick of things. WiU try to catch all the names as I go, but if I miss any, I beg forgiveness in advance.

The invasion of Vieques was a tremendous success and under the guidance of Ed Spruance ('37) several of us managed to take over the one village of any importance almost singlehanded for a 24 hour period. In evidence at the various bars were Werthmuller, Workman, and Tower from '42. Having survived that we beat a hasty retreat to Norfolk and on to Key West to look in on the President.

Key West is a haven for members of the Class of '42. Fortunately for me, a very oppormne party brought most of the Qass together under one roof and thanks to Bob Harwood, we had a table where most of the gang and their wives congregated at one time or another. Among those present were BiU Underwood (Exec. WiTEK — DD848 — whose wife and two chUdren are at 135 Schennecossett Parkway, New London, Conn.), Frank Berry (N.O.U., Key West), Johnny Wallace and his wife Atmette (SerAsDevDet — 62 Rest Beach, KW. — one daughter, Marjorie Ann, age 2 ) , BiU Hurst (CO WiLKE—EDE800), Don and Marj' Henning (Exec. AUW School—Qtr. FD, Naval Station, KW.—two chUdren, Mary Celeste, 3, and Paul, IV^), A. B. and Irene McGowan (SerAsDevDet—1307 Wliitehead, KW—two chUdren, A. B., Jr., 31/2, Mancy Irene, 1 Vi), Bob and "Puds" Harwood (Staff, CSS4—1605 Flagler—two children, Mary, 5, Hope, 3 ) , George and Beryle Folta (MEDREGAL—SS480—1120 Seminary Street), and Bud and Annabelle Workman, Tower, Roy and Jeannette WerthmuUer, Ray Miller, and the Days from the Intelligence gang. Big Jack McTighe ('43) and his wife Betty were also there. Jack is with SerAsDevDet and lives at 804 South Street, KW. Frank Berry and BiU Hurst are the only bachelors down there, and Dick and Annabelle Corkran are also in Key West (42 Rest Beach) but didn't make the party. Dick is Project Coordinator at SerAsDevDet. All in all it was a grand evening for '42.

From Key West, I went on to New York for some field work and mrned up two ex42'ers, one ex-40, and one ex-46, among many old friends in and around the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Phil Wienick and a date were in for dinner and dancing one evening (Phil is a sales engineer with General Cable Corp., 205 East 42nd Street), and I ran into Bruce Robb at the Thursday night meeting of the Submarine Reserve Group. Bruce is single

and since he got out of the Navy on Valentine's Day, 1947 has been working with Clark, Dodge and Company at 61 Wall Street. An old shipmate of mine on STERLET, Walt Strang, "46, and I got together for dinner one night. Walt is working with his father in the moving business and expects to be married to a Brooklyn girl in late May. Probably the biggest surprise I've experienced in my travels, however, occurred at the Sperry plant at Lake Success. During one of my visits there I suddenly chanced on G. A. Buchanan, Jr., '40. Buck comes from down in my end of Pennsylvania, but I haven't seen him since '40 graduated, although his experiences with the Japs and Sperry have long since been a matter of record. However, he is just about to convert his knowledge of gunnery and gyroscopes, etc. into a medical career. Buck married a doctor and this summer expects to move to Salt Lake City, Utah, to take up the smdy of medicine and to set up a practice some fine day.

Got back to Washington in time to walk in on the tail-end of the now monthly meeting of the West Point and Annapolis Classes of 1942 at the Naval Gun Factory. These events wUl be held at the Gun Factory, at the ArmyNavy Town Qub, or at the Pentagon on the first Wednesday noon of each month. Harry Allendorfer wUl give anyone who is interested aU necessary information if they will caU him at the NGF. Forty-two members of the Annapolis aggregation and 17 Pointers attended the AprU get-together. Among those attending were R. C. Knight, W. S. Brown, P. B. Smith, F. S. Knight, Duncan, Reed, Osborn, Sims, Maurer, Morgan, Griffith, Warner, Quinn, Robie, Moore, Obey, Rusch, Brandon, Underwood, Binion, Atkinson, Pellett, Nye, Shremp, Mullen, Hoefer, Momsen, des Granges, Schnepp, Day, Tichenor, Doyle, Conger, W. S. Davis, Garvin, Bergin, Neff, LoweU, AUendorfer, and Meier of Navy; and Plott, Rew, Low, Munns, Urrutia, Bonasso, Clay, Rehkoff, White, Hanst, Koisch, Watson, Gates, MUes, Field, Zimmermann, and Gurnert of the Army and Air Force. Allendorfer was spokesman for the Navy, and Plott for the Point. Andy Low gave some of the latest rumors from usually reliable but undisclosed sources about the paybill and Gurnert was appointed coordinator for the Pointers. His phone is ext. 75923 (Pentagon). This looks like the coming thing in unified services and although some of the Pointers rank from Captain to Lt. Colonel and represent all branches of the Army and Air Force all rank and rivalry is forgotten for revelry on the first Wednesday of each month. If any of you are in or near Washington, won't you join us?

While at the luncheon, I learned that Art and Caroline Warner had greeted their third chUd, Daniel Harris Warner, on 21 March, and that Tony Garland's wife was recuperating in the hospital at Bethesda from a recent illness.

Received an announcement of the birth of a daughter to J. E. Shields ex-'44 and his wife, Betty, in Pittsburgh, Pa., on 1 February. The gal is Diana Marie by name.

The post office box yielded a fail harvest of mail this month and although much of it consisted of completed questionnaires, I shall run over as much as time permits. My Russian is the controlling factor these days and not my interest in the class, believe me!

Since the end of the late war there have

MAY,

1949

fortunately only been a few times that I have received the sad news of the passing of another classmate. Now that we are at peace once more, such announcements when they do come seem to be all the more tragic. I know that the Class will join me in extencUng all sympathies to Virginia Davis Hall, whose husband, Lt. Cdr. Albert B. Hall, Jr., was listed as missing on 4 November 1948. But let me quote from Mrs. Hall's letter.

"This is to advise the Class that Lt, Comdr, Albert B. Hall, Jr., is listed as 'missing' since the disappearance 4 November 1948 of the navy P2V-2 bomber on which he was co-pilot in the vicinity of Vancouver Island, Canada.

"Also to advise of the arrival 28 December 1948 of our fourth child, a daughter, Anne Davis Hall. We have three boys, Albert Brown Hall, III, Peter Ruggles Hall, and Bruce Phillip HaU. "Comdr. HaU was stationed at Ault Field, Whidbey Island, Wash., at the time of the disappearance as gunnery officer of a medium patrol squadron. Our permanent address is 3812 Hanover Street, Dallas 5, Texas."

Those of us in the fourth Batt and others of the Class who knew "AB" well remember him as a quiet, cheerful, straightforward shipmate and we know that at our next great reunion somewhere in the fumre he will be there again to join our ranks.

From far off Honolulu comes a letter from John Marocchi. He is on the Staff, CincPacFlt, and reports that Bud Lee has now joined up along with Bob McWethy who arrived some two months ago as Admiral Ramsay's Flag Lt. Bud and John are living on a beach some 25 miles northwest of Pearl and thoroughly enjoying the winter and coming of spring. Incidentally, John sends his best to aU the gang here and I for one envy him his duty. Maybe he will need a relief about the time I finish my present tour of duty. He and Bud were both former smdents in the Intelligence School.

Jerry Scott and George McFetridge both have hit me for the same thing from opposite ends of the east coast. While I'm not in the housing business I have made a practice of repeating the news I can glean from letters received and see no harm in mentioning that George and wife will need a house in July when he comes up from Pensacola for the 4th Intelligence Class, and that Jerry, his wife, and two "well-behaved" children will need a house adjacent to BvtAer in September.

If anyone can help, please let me know at Vlaor 7938 after five at night. Jerry needs a furnished place and sets the usual naval officer's ceiling on rent, etc. He will finish at Rensselaer in June and take his place with the jet experts in the Bureau for a while, and is looking forward to joining our monthly gatherings then.

Had a note from Bee Weems written en route to his new job at the Empire Test Pilot School in merrie England. His new address will be: CINCELM Staff, Navy 100, FPO, NY, until at least Christmas '49. Bee enclosed a letter from Francis Riley's parents bringing our records up to date. Francis was lost on ALBACORE in December 1944. His mother and father are now residing at 1216 Avon Street, La Crosse, Wisconsin. This information is invaluable to those of us who are concerned with the Class records and I would like to once again remind those of you who can help to pass along any information whatsoever that you may have concerning the

whereabouts of the family and relatives of any of our deceased classmates. Since Bee will be in England, I suggest that any future communiques be addressed to the Post Office Box in Washington.

R. B. Varley writes from ROCHESTER (CA124) where he is Gunnery Officer.

While he is at sea, his wife, Isabella, is living at Edgewater, Maryland, and her phone is AnnapoUs 5423. They have two childien, Richard Byron, HI, 3, and Debra Belle, born 5 September 1948. Dick passes along the word that Jug Whitney (AW) is still with ComONE ND, but is expeaing orders soon.

Have received more data on Tully, Binion, Reed, Hoefer, Brandon, and Morgan from Washington, Rickabaugh in San Francisco, Culjat in Miami, Vose in Norfolk, and Tom Williams in Jacksonville. Also Tom Turner on BUMBPER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SS333 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Honolulu. WiU try to pick up the details on them next month so bear with me.

Incidentally, Harry Allendorfer now has a mimeographed list of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc., of the members of '42 who have been attending the class luncheons and they will be available to those who might want them.

Until next month then, Sincerely, "HAP" R. S. DAY

Employment Outlook

WASHIIIiTOll NOTES

By Ralph A. Sentman, '25 (One Man's Opinion)

EMPLOYMENT

Summer Schools

Home Loans Decline

Those veterans who are planning to attend summer school courses should start now to check their eligibility certificates and make sure that they are qualified for the courses they are selecting from the G. I. Bill of Rights standpoint. It may take several weeks to obtain the required information; consequently, a delay in this action could prove costly.

The Veterans Administration statistics now show that the G. I. home loans are declining.

More than 1,400,000 have obtained G.I. home loans totaling more than eight billion dollars.

The statistics indicate that about 350,000 veterans obtained G. I. home loan financing in 1948, as compared with 540,000 in 1947 and 410,000 in 1946, In 1948 the average home bought by veterans carried a price tag of $8,300, a figure $1,000 higher than the 1947 average.

Business Loans Increase The Veterans Administration has expressed the belief that in the near fumre more and more veterans should find it feasible to use their guaranteed benefits for business venmres. They would not set forth a reason.

However, it is obvious, from an employment standpoint, that when a man finds the going tough as an employee, one of his first thoughts is to establish his own business. This thinking has, over the years, been repeated. However, history indicates the decisions to establish a private business have in many cases been made unwisely. The lack of sufficient capital and the lack of know-how have time and again been the ruination of the small businessman. Veterans should be warned to have plenty of both before entering this new field.

NAVAL ENGINEERING STATION

EXPERIMENT

Comdr. Tom R. Johnson, CEC-USN, recently reported for duty as Public Works Officer — the first such officer since it was founded forty years ago. A graduate of the University of Arizona, he holds degrees in civil engineering, taking post-graduate work in Sanitation and Hydraulics at Cornell University. He formerly was Public Works Officer at the Naval Station in Tacoma, Washington, and has had similar duty at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, and the Naval Operating Base at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

A special course in Instrumentation has been started at the Station for its employees, which will continue until early in June.

Chief Instructor is Mr. Richard C. Bardett, of the Mechanical Laboratory.

Leave Policies Two major changes have been announced by the Veterans Administration in its leave policies affecting veterans training under the G. I. Bill in job training establishments and in schools below the college level. The changes are: 1. Allowing these veterans to apply for 15 days' leave at the end of their period of enrollment, in addition to whatever leave they might have been authorized while in training.

2. Placing full responsibility for granting leaves of absence taken during training— within a limit of 30 days a year—upon schools below college level and job training establishments. This responsibility does not extend to the 15 days given at the end of an enrollment period.

A veteran may obtain leave at the completion of his period of enrollment only if he has enough remaining entitlement to education and training to cover it.

determine the thermal conductivity of pipe covering and block type insulation has been instaUed in the Chemical Laboratory, which was designed by Edward M. Merrmann and Robert B. Plate under the supervision of Walter P. Sinclair, engineers of the Station. The control board is the first of its kind in this field.

Representing the Station at the recent dedication of the million dollar White Oak, Md. X-Ray laboratory of the U. S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory were Lt. Comdr, John B. Ritch, Mr. Henry Siegal and Mr. Rudolph W. Miller, of the welding laboratory, Mr. Lawrence Thompson and Mr. Morris Liebberman of the Metals Laboratory, Mr. David M. Zall and Mr, Cyril J. Stockhausen of the Chemical laboratory and Miss Besse B. Day, Station statistician.

Mr. Bela Ronay, Superintendent of the Welding Laboratory, recently attended a joint conference between the American Welding Society Committee on Metalizing and members of the Canadian National Committee on Standards, held in the offices of the American Welding Society in New York City.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has just prepared and issued an Occupational Outlook Handbook. The report covers 288 occupations by which Americans earn their living. It states that many of the jobs which interest young people—such as airplane pilot, airline hostess, newspaper reporter, radio announcer, FBI agent, personnel worker and Diesel mechanic —will be relatively hard to find during the next several years.

The outlook, on the other hand, will be brighter for an endless variety of other occupations—ranging from physician, teacher and librarian to stenographer, autombile mechanic and foundry worker.

The employment outlook as a whole is growing tighter. The un-skilled and semiskilled men and women will, in aU probability, find the going increasingly rugged during the coming months. There are, however, many fine job openings for highly skilled managers, experienced industrialists and scientists. It stiU appears that there has been a temporary recession which could be called a leveling off period.

Re-employment Rights The Bureau of Veterans Re-employment Rights has made a statement clarifying the differences between the State National Guards under the control of the several states, whose members do not have re-employment rights under Federal stamtes. There is, however, a National Guard of the United States which is a part of the Army of the United States. Its members, if otherwise qualified under the provisions of the Selected Service Act of 1948, have re-employment rights. It was further emphasized that although members of the National Guard of the United States are eligible for re-employment rights under the new draft act, they must enter upon active duty for training and service to qualify for such rights.

Shorts tours of duty entered upon solely for the purpose of training, which are a large part of National Guard activities, do not qualify Guardsmen for re-employment rights.

NAVY

WIVES

Last January, wives of students at the Naval Postgraduate School got together and formed a new club, the purpose of which was to further friendships among PG wives here in Annapolis. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Herman S. Spanagel, the club was formulated and at the initial meeting of the "Naval Postgraduate School Women's Club," a fashion show was held which, of course, pleased the hearts if not the purses of all hands.

The April meeting was highlighted by a food demonstration by the Gas and Electric Company. Meetings are held once a month, on the second Wednesday, at 8 P. M. in the PG School Auditorium.

Officers are: President, Mrs. R. W. Arndt; vice president, Mrs. J. R. Tucker; recording secretary, Mrs. W. M. Harnish; corresponding secretary, Mrs. G. F. Bunn; treasurer, Mrs. C. G. Griffin. Directors are Mrs. J. H. King and Mrs. A. W. Spiegel. Committee chairmen are Mrs. R. B. Varner, program; Mrs. C. H. Parmelee, membership, and Mrs. W. P. Etter, housing.

LEONARDO DA VINCI APPLIES FOR A JOB Fortune Magazine carries an ad of the Alexander Hamilton Institute.

It is headed by lines reading: "Leonardo da Vinci Writes a Letter of Application— and Gets the Job!" "His technique is Still Effective Four Hundred Years Later."

The interesting text of this advertisement reads: "Leonardo da Vinci, perhaps the most versatile man who ever lived, once wrote to the Duke of Milan seeking employment.

"He cited his ability to construct bridges, cannon, mortars, subterranean passages, armored wagons, catapults, mangonels, trabocchi— '—and if any of the aforesaid things should seem impossible or impractical, I offer myself as ready to make trial of them in your park or in whatever place shall please Your Excellency, to whom I recommend myself, etc' "Naturally, da Vinci got the job; the man who has the best qualifications always does.

"In business and industry, the more fundamental and comprehensive your knowledge, the better are your chances of forging ahead . . ."

The Annapolis Chapter Housing Committee

By L. F . Brown,

Chairman

W h e n the Annapolis Chapter was formed we felt that we were in a beautiful position to carry out a number of projects which would give us a raison d'etre and would give an answer to the active duty Officers oft repeated question "what good does it do me to belong to the U. S. N . A. Alumni Association.'"

One of these projects was the local housing problem. The incoming Officer finds himself up against a mean job of finding a place that fits his family and his pocketbook. The outgoing Officer has already gone through this headache and, since he is leaving a place that suits him, can help the new Officer by "passing it on. " Some of the work contemplated was already being done by the administrative offices in the Command, but their respective interests were only in favor of their own groups. Similarly, today, various groups or associations are adopting a "housing" plan with a similar objective.

As a side remark, our own idea regarding these diversified housing committees or what have you, is that they should all be centralized into one and those working for these specialized groups should become helpers or liaison with the central housing committee. It is not the intent of this article to argue the why's and wherefore's, but we do feel— 1. That this is a proper project for the Alumni Association Chapter.

2. That it is best equipped for this work and, 3. That a single group centralizi.ag the information will simplify the problem both for the house searcher and the house owner (particularly if the latter is a n o n - N a v y ) .

In any event, the Commirtee proceeded to draw up a plan which was published to all

interested parties (whether members or not) and read as follows: "PURPOSE—To provide a central point for information on residence facilities available now, or later to become available, for the benefit of members of the U.S.N.A. Alumni Association, the Branch Association and those eligible to join the Annapolis Chapter as members or associate members. " I N F O R M A T I O N — T o request all sources (see below) to forward to the Housing Committee information on possible housing facilities. The committee will endeavor to fill out and complete such information. Incoming members and associate members to be informed of such possibilities, as may be suitable, and upon request.

"COSTS—Cost of stationery, postage and mimeographing or printing to be paid by the Chapter—no other costs authorized without special action of the Council. " C H A R G E S — N o charges or fees to be made either to the member or associate member receiving the benefit of the service or to the owner (or agent) handling the facility.

However, it is understood that, if any special service, not described herein or contemplated hereunder, is requested and performed, the Committee will be reimbursed for actual expense incurred in performing such special service.

"SOURCES—The Committee will solicit information from the following sources: ( a ) Members and Associate Members and those eligible thereto; ( b ) Post Graduate School Administrative Office; (c) Naval Academy; ( d ) Real Estate offices in Annapolis; ( e ) Anne' Arundel Co. Chamber of Commerce; (f) Local Banks; ( g ) Private owners of property.

"RESPONSIBILITY — The Annapolis Chapter or its Housing Committee individually or jointly, will not accept responsibility for 1. renting or buying the property for

those eligible to this service nor 2. obtaining tenants or buyers for owners, agents or landlords who own the facilities. Every effort will be made to put each in touch with the proper interested party."

Two forms were then drawn up to obtain the required information. One form was a "Request for Housing Information" which permitted those eligible to set down their needs with information the landlord would want.

The other was the form entitled "Information on Housing Availability" which permitted the landlord to describe his property with information the tenant would want to know. ( N o t e : If any other Chapters desire copies of these forms we will be glad to supply t h e m ) .

W e made a third form to be filled out and signed by a member of the Committee, introducing or certifying the prospective tenant to the landlord, but this has not been used due to the mutual knowledge of the two in Annapolis. It might be useful in larger communities. .

HOW

DOES IT

WORK

Annapolis is a tough "housing" town.

Response from the house owners f nd agents has been good and their comments most flattering.

Response from the house searcher has been terrific, considering the "off season" in which we have operated.

Results at this writing are hard to estimate.

W e know we have helped a number of landlords to find tenants. Neither the one nor the other remember to tell us when this happens. W e do know the service is very valuable ( C o n t i n u e d on next

to our incoming members or eligibles, but we do feel it can be improved BY ( a ) All allied groups cooperating ( b ) All individuals of our "eligibles," whether they themselves need a house or not, seeing to it that any place they even hear of, gets listed. ( c ) Landlords notifying us when their place is rented. ( d ) Tenants notifying us when they take a place.

There are some misapprehensions on the part of many which may be of interest.

O n e is that this is a "Labor of Love." W e have no expense account, and no paid employees. Frequently we are asked to "submit to us such places as you have which ."

Our "submitter" is definitely broken down.

W e try to write answers to people out of town but are unable to do the detailed selling.

People call in and tell us that they have a place for rent or sale and want us to make out the information sheet. This we have not the force to do, and recendy we have been mailing the form to them. Similarly, we cannot make out forms for prospective tenants.

A source of difficulty is the failure to completely fill out the forms. Our operation is essentially one of permitting the prospeaive rentor to choose interesting tenants and the rentee to choose interesting places. The more complete the information, the simpler the choice is on both sides.

It would help considerably if some of the auxiliary groups would volunteer assistance in coordinating the service.

WHAT

WE

HAVE

As of this writing we have listed following:

the

For Sale in Annapolis: One "income" house centrally located— suitable for a retired couple or widow for room renting purposes.

Two in town and three edge-of-town homes.

Harundale—Eleven homes.

Various Suburban (within 6 miles of Annapolis). Thirteen homes. ( N o t e : these vary in price from S8,000 to 520,000.)

For

Rent—Apartments:

Annapolis—5.

Eastport—2.

Edge-of-town—2.

For Rent—Houses: AnnapoUs—6.

N e a r — 6 miles—15.

Harundale—4.

T o attempt to describe these places in detail would take several i>ages. They have one, two or three bedrooms and vary in rent from S75 to S125—some furnished, some unfurnished, and the only satisfactory method to make a choice is to go through the information sheet.

T h e office is at 31 Maryland Avenue, and every effort is made to help those coming to Annapolis.

After half a year of experience, we are convinced that this service alone would answer that question in the first paragraph.

On the Bulletin Board (Continued from page 44) The Naval Academy W o m e n ' s Club sponsored a very fashionable fashion show the first Tuesday in April, put on by Jelleff's, Inc. of Washington, D . C. Professional models from that store showed gowns for all occasions— from the tomboy in blue denims to cotton bathing suits, old-fashioned calico evening dresses to take one to a square dance, to the ever-popular Navy blue.

Mrs. Virgil N . Robinson played Chopin's Opus 3 1 , E flat Minor, and accompanying the showing was Mrs. Albert D. Epley at the piano.

Mrs. Rollo N . Norgaard presided at the meeting, and during the afternoon a check covering proceeds from the play, "The Torchbearers," which the club sponsored last fall, was presented to Carl N , Fuller, president of the Annapolis Chamber of Commerce and Capt. E. R. Morrissey, executive secretary. T h e check will be given to the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund.

A nominating committee was appointed, with Mrs. Myron W . Hutchinson, Mrs. Charles W . Travis, Mrs. J. W . Bays and Mrs. Carter L. Wilson serving.

The last meeting of the year wUl be on 3 May, when group activities will be in charge of the program.

speed. " N o w what can a poor man do with an answer like that?

Speaking of gouges recalls a tale that went the rounds last year about this time, and, though it may be a little old, it still is good enough to bring a chuckle and will bear retelling here. A certain Steam Prof (those wonderful things still remain) was noted for his hard grading habits. Perfect papers just didn't happen in his class, no matter how hard or how long his charges labored over their books the night before recitation. As a result, being assigned to his section was an ordeal that every "star m a n " dreaded worse than death. One day, in the number one section, where stars are a dime a dozen, the tyrant gave a difficult quiz. W h e n the section reported the next day every one present expected to be bilged on the previous day's work. They were surprised to hear the insttuaor remark that somebody had finally gotten the word on the lesson and had received a mark of 3.7 on the quiz the day before. "There is only one thing wrong with the paper," the instructor concluded. "The man who got 3.7 forgot to put his last name on it. Will the midshipman whose first name is "George' please raise his hand?" N o one moved. Investigation revealed that there was no George in the classroom, nor had there been the previous day. The seaion leader came to the rescue. "May I see it, sir," he asked. H e took the paper from the prof and examined it carefully. "I have it, sir. That's not George. It's Gouge." Apparenrly the prof had graded himself down on penmanship.

Hard, but fair!

To close this writing there's another note on graduation. The latest deal for graduates of the Academy seems to be the U. S. Air Force, since pilots in that organization have an extta source of income. W h e n they are on liberty or leave and short of money, they can easily double as Greyhound bus drivers, without having to change uniforms! Doormen in bridge coats, bell-hops in Marine Blues, and now busdriver blue. Never a dull life at Navy!

LOCAL

ASSOCIATIONS

B.4LTIMORE Our meeting and dinner on March l6th was indeed a most enjoyable and worthwhile gathering. Through the efforts of J. J. Levasseur we were able to receive as a speaker, Mr. J. M. Pearce, who is with the Glenn L. Martin Company. Mr. Pearce gave an informal and enlightening talk on the field of Guided Missiles, in which he is an expert. Films showing the rocket firing tests being carried on in the west were shown. Some interesting points about the development and early progress of the all important VT fuse were also given, with a film to illustrate.

were made with him for a joint meeting in May, which should insure a large turnout from both chapters.

Our oldest living graduate, Henry Asa Allen, Class of 1887, who was a Colonel in the A.E.F., was prevented from being present because of illness. The Colonel has long been one of the most interested members of our group and following the unanimous vote of all those present the Secretary was instturted to write and advise him that he had been a Life Member of the Chicago Chapter without further payment of dues, and that his membership number would appropriately be # 8 7 .

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Colonel!

Chapter was held at the Hotel Alms. For the benefit of some of the members who missed the first showing we again presented the movie "Life at the Naval Academy." As usual it brought forth many comments. The words "Country Club" were prevalent while more articulate members were heard to remark "Now when 1 was at the Academy—." However all hands thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and it brought back many fond memories.

It was decided to hold our annual "Unification" dinner in AprU and everyone was urged to invite all their Armed Forces friends, past or present.

The meeting also served as an "aloha" to Dick Dressling, our genial and well liked local officer in charge of Naval Officer Procurement. Dick is being transferred to St. Louis and will be sorely missed. However our loss is St, Louis' gain so on the overall basis things come out pretty even.

COLORADO The March meeting of the Colorado Chapter was held as usual on the evening of the 22nd of the month. This meeting was an informal dinner-dance affair held at the Denver Naval Officers' Club Rooms in the Park Lane Hotel. While the meeting was small all hands were high in their praise of the occasion. (A word to the wise. You will note that this is the second meeting in succession to which our better-halves have been invited— did I say invited?) We do enjoy having them with us—and don't they dress up the affair!

KANSAS

CITY

PHILADELPHIA

The last meeting of the Kansas City branch of the Association was a luncheon at the University Club on 28 February.

The meeting was highlighted by a talk by Captain Homer A. Beal, Medical Corps, USNR, who described his recent cruise on the USS MISSOURI.

At the meeting it was unanimously decided to establish an annual award by the Kansas City branch to the outstanding graduate of the NROTC at the University of Kansas.

The U. S. Naval Academy Association U. S. Naval Academy Annapolis, Maryland

Alumni

Dear Sirs: The Kansas City Branch of the Naval Academy^ Alumni Association has informed me that they will make an annual award to an outstanding Midshipman at the NROTC Unit at the University of Kansas. The award will be a gold engraved wrist watch and certificate of merit to the Midshipman who through his demonstrated qualities of leadership contributes most to the advancement and prestige of the NROTC Unit during the academic year. The Midshipman recipient of the award will be selected by the Professor of Naval Science upon the advice of the officers of this staff. The award will be made at ceremonies during the final Dress Parade in May each year.

Captain R. W. Holt, USNR, '12, Vice President of the MercantUe Home Bank and Trust Company in Kansas City, and past President of the Kansas City Branch, proposed this award. Mr. Henry T. Brian, '25, Personnel Director for General Motors Corporation in Kansas City, and President of the Kansas City Branch, submitted the proposal to the members at the last monthly meeting. The motion was unanimously passed.

This was a splendid gesture by the Kansas City Branch. It again shows that the spirit of fellowship at the monthly meetings of the predominantly civilian groups is transcended by an overall interest in the Navy.

The Philadelphia Association held its regular monthly meeting at an uptown location, Michaud's Restaurant, 1522 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Friday, March 25. Having no planned speaker or other entertainment, this meeting was devoted to local Association business. This included discussions around the success of our "Hard Times" party, proposed National Association move for unrestricted membership, and the National Association slate for the coming election.

The consensus of opinion in the Philadelphia Association seems to be that bigger and better parties are in the offing following the success of our "Hard Times" party in February. It is hoped that this success will also make possible meetings during the summer months.

The unanimous feeling on the part of those in attendance was decidedly in opposition to the proposed unlimited admission of membership to the National Association along the lines of the present discussion by the officers and direaors. Scott Lamb was instructed by this unanimous vote to present Philadelphia's views at the next directors' meeting scheduled for May. The National Association slate for officers and directors was discussed. It was noted that at the end of the present term there would be one active officer on the Board, although fiftytwo per cent of the National Association is made up of active Naval Officers. For this reason it was felt that any support we could give to the active duty group would be a step toward representation for the active duty officers. As Kenny Craig, '26, and Howard Caldwell. '27, are the only two active officers on the ballot, their support were stressed.

As Bill Duncan has volunteered and arranged for our April sneaker, we were most happy to note that Eddie Ewen would be in attendance. Our scheduled meeting of the 15th was changed to the 22nd of Aoril to avoid having our meeting on Good Friday.

We are looking forward to a large mrnout for this special guest.

Those in attendance at our March meeting were: Albert M. Cohen, '07, Randall Jacobs, '07, M. L. Brown, '11, P. C. Mayfield, '11, J. H. Hoffman. '13, T. M. Searles, '13, Wm. K. Beard, '14, J. E. Boak, '14, T. W. Sterling, '14, John Stites Ray, '15, .T. R. SuUivan, '18, J. Ross Allen, '19, Edwin Friedhan, '19, Scott G. Lamb, '19, Harris C. Aller, '20, John P. Graff, '20, C. Wm. Duncan, '21, E. C. Kline, '21, J. A. Ten Brook, '22, A. L. Tyler, '22, A. J. Fleming, Jr., '24, F. J. Ilsemann. '24, J. D. LazeU, '24, Samuel Sanders, Jr., '24, E. K. Cornelius, '27, John A.

SAN

FRANCISCO

Our regular monthly stag dinner meeting was held at the Officers' Club, U. S. Naval Station, Treasure Island, on 6 April 1949. Ned Marbourg, 1917, President, presided.

The attendance was 85, composed of 26 guests and 59 alumni. The oldest grad present was L. S. Shipley, 1899. He is also the oldest CO of submarines in the U. S. Navy. He hails from Lamar, Missouri, from which town our Guest Speaker also hails. Years ago. Captain Shapley had a little fox terrier and the dog wore a blanket with the wording "Record dive 142 feet." Our speaker said that as a boy he never was able to figure out whether the dog made the jump from a height of 142 feet or whether the horizontal distance covered was 142 feet. Captain Shapley tells us it was the PORPOISE which made the record dive to 142 feet depth in 1906.

We were especially happy to welcome R. Adm. Lynde D. McCormick, USN, 1915, Commandant Twelfth Naval District, to our group for his first meeting.

Another new arrival whom we were pleased to have attending for his first time was Al G. Mumma (Capt. USN), 1926, prominent in naval engineering, who has just reported for duty at San Francisco Naval Shipyard.

Another whom we were delighted to see was Myron J. Walker, 1915, from Iowa City, Iowa, who is now visiting in the Bay Area.

Among the guests present were the following: Lloyd M. Mustin, 1932, (Comdr., USN, attached to USS KEPPLER now at San Francisco Naval Shipyard), and Lt. Comdr. Andrew Richards, USN,—the former is the son, the latter the aide, and both were guests of Vice Admiral George D. Murray, USN, 1911, Commander, Western Sea Frontier; Marvin Walton, 3 years a Marine and recently graduated from Yale,—son and guest of A. S. Walton, '13; and Samuel Sokooin, U. S. Consul, Retired, whose 35 years in the consular service was spent largely in China, and Henry Schultz, Retired, Vice-President and Director of Standard Vacuum Oil Co.,—guests of John Falge, '12, Attending for the last time was our very good friend L. B. Shone, (Capt. MC. USN), Harvard 1923, guest of Eddie Duncan, '23.

We have been most happy to have Captain Shone as a regular attender. He said he liked the pleasant Navy associations and friendly atmosphere. We reciprocate these kindly feelings. Our best wishes PO to Bert Shone for a happy and successful tour of duty at Pearl Harbor, where he will be 14th Naval District Medical Officer.

The President read a letter from G. Laurence Schetky, 1919, saying that he was being retired on 1 April and moving East. He stated that he had enjoyed very much being a member of the San Francisco Branch and sent best wishes to the Association. Our best wishes go to him for a happy life at Newport, R. I., where he and his family will settle.

President Marbourg expressed the feeling of many alumni when he stated that the underlying purpose of The National Alumni Association is commonly understood to be to bring men who have attended the Naval Academy into close relationship and to weld them together with solidarity into a closely knit organization for the common good.

A feeling prevails that this underlying purpose is being weakened, rather than strengthened, by granting associate membership to persons who have never attended the Naval Academy. Recendy, at an election held by the San Francisco Branch, there were 100 written ballots cast and the vote ran 4 to 1 to exclude persons who have not attended the Naval Academy from associate membership in the National Association. At present, there are understood to be only 34 such associate members—8 of them approved for associate membership by the Board of Trustees on 21 May '48, and 26 approved on 29 Oct '48. Some want action now before there is further dilution of the membership.

Because of recurring opposition to such associate membership, a petition to the Board of Trustees was circulated at this meeting and signed by 46 alumni, requesting the Board at their meeting scheduled to be held in Annapolis on 20 May '49, to repeal Section 2 of Article 1 of the By-Laws, which authorizes persons who have not attended the Naval Academy to become associate members of the National Association.

Radar...speeds runs...makes navigation safer on Orient trips...

SAYS PACIFIC

Waptain \V. E. Stratton of the S.S. America Transport of Pacific Transport Lines finds Sperry Radar a valuable safety measure in the Orient while threading his way through fleets of unlighted junks . . . entering fogbound, unmarked ports . . . or navigating t h r o u g h passages where war-interrupted lighthouse services operate erratically.

Near Hong Kong, . . . S p e r r y R a d a r detected at night a fleet of unlighted j u n k s keeping station on a single lighted junk. "Without radar," says C a p t a i n Stratton, " o n l y that one lighted junk would have been sighted."

In the Pliilippines . . . Sperry Radar has frequently helped the America Transport to make night passages which except for radar would have been out of the question because of the many

For these and other vessels combining long crossings with stops at various ports . . . Sperry Radar affords a constant check on distances off shore and of all above-water hazards in darkness, fog, rain or snow... effectively shortens distances between ports of call . . . saves time and fuel on every trip.

For further assurance of schedule reliability, America Transport's equipment includes the Sperry Gyro-Pilot ("Metal Mike") and the Sperry GyroCompass. They form with Sperry Radar a trustworthy trio under all conditions.

T h e America Transport and her sister vessels of Pacific T r a n s p o r t Lines are heavy modern freighters designed for speed and fast cargo handling in the Transpacific service.
