Zooming through the air at speeds far faster than sound, their engines generate heat that would soften any ordinary steel.

Furnishing steel makers with alloys essential to the manufacture of special steels is but one of the important jobs of the people of Union Carbide. They also provide the giant carbon and graphite electrodes for the electric arc furnaces which are used to make many of these fine steels.

Special alloy steels to withstand the terrific heat and pressure of the jet powered engines are made by adding such alloying metals as chromium, tungsten and vanadium.

Not only in aviation but in almost every field alloy steels are on the job.

Broadening The Background Knowledge Of Instructors

By SENIOR PROFESSOR EARL W. THOMSON,

Department

The United States Naval Academy has been criticized severely in the past for the large percentage of its own graduates who are on the faculty. The chief criticism has been that many of the officer instructors do not have the necessary background knowledge to teach such basic subjects as mathematics, chemistry, physics, English and history. The criticism cannot be valid in the professional subject matter of seamanship, navigation, ordnance and gunnery, aviation, and much of the curriculum of marine engineering. These are the subjects of the officer's life interest, in which he must maintsun himself proficient in his vocation, and which he practices professionally in his daily work.

What then has been done to meet the criticism, even though its validity is open to question? As an example let us see what is being done in the Department of Electrical Engineering which teaches the subjects of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Electronics. The problem has been attacked in two ways: first, the percentage of graduates of other institutions on the faculty has been increased, through various circumstances and some long-range planning, and secondly, the means of broadening background knowledge have been steadily improved.

In 1940 there were four members of the civilian faculty in the department, in the present academic year there are thirty-one on the teaching faculty, and a Senior Professor. This represents 35% of the departmental faculty, a percentage which it is planned to increase to 50%, so that the faculty in basic sciences will be fifty-fifty, civilians and officers. In addition to the civilians, only two of whom are Naval Academy graduates, there are nineteen reserve officers (of whom six are graduates), five Air Force officers (all non-graduates), two Marine officers (both graduates), one Army officer (an exchange professor from West Point and a graduate of that institution), and thirty regular officers (three of whom are non-graduates). If you are not completely befogged at this time by the statistics of the diversification of the faculty, you will be able to add up that there are fifty-one graduates of other institutions, and thirty-seven graduates of the Naval Academy, the graduates representing only 42%. The "fortuitous" circumstances which have brought about this low percentage are the increase in the civilian faculty, the retention of reserve officers for teaching duty, and the exchange of instructors with the Air Force and the Army. The new civilian members are all experienced teachers, as appointment to the rank of Assistant Professor requires at least a master's degree in the subject to be taught and one year's teaching experience at the college level.

At this committee meeting the lesson analysis sheets are discussed, important points are re-emphasized, difficult problems are worked, committee administrative procedure is outlined—the whole idea being that of instructor-instruction under the leadership of the experienced professor. In the laboratory the instructor works out the experiments completely and fully as if he were a midshipman. When a committee has a number of first-year instructors, an additional period is held weekly, referred to facetiously as "Dumb School" by the instructors who must attend, at which the special points for instruction in the classroom are more slowly digested.

Thirdly, the new instructor soon finds out that the professional teachers are there to help him, and are on tap during all the Within the Department there are four hours of a normal working day.

Before we proceed to the second point, that of securing more background knowledge, it should be emphasized that it is not only the Naval Academy graduates who are in need of, or who benefit by, this planned instructor-instruction. Most of the civilians are shooting toward the star of a doctor's degree, which is presently required for promotion to full Professor, and are thus continuing their graduate instruction. We have at present on the departmental faculty eleven doctor's degrees, eight civilians and three reserve officers. In some of the methods of instructor-instruction you will see that all members of the faculty are on the receiving end.

Outside the Department there are also three main methods of securing more background knowledge. First, the Naval Academy maintains a fund for temporary duty of civilians and officers in attendance at professional meetings. This is administered so that members of these professional societies can attend the meetings at which new research is discussed, new applications of old concepts shown, and at which the science is kept up-to-date in the minds of its followers. The benefit incurred by the individual, the Department, and the Naval Academy, in this attendance at the meetings of the professional societies cannot be measured by the cost to the government. For the civilians this is a rutdestroyer, for the officers a new furrow.

lU ^Hdied Stated Homecoming W e e k e n d , 1 9 5 1 , D r a w s 3 , 0 0 0 Alumni The "Old School on the Severn" was visited by an estimated 3,000 alumni and their families during the annual homecoming weekend, October 5, 6 and 7.

Among the many "old grads" were 134 flag officers, whose stars totaled some 303.

Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King's five stars led an impressive list of seven Admirals, 22 Vice Admirals, 91 Rear Admirals, 11 Commodores and 2 Major Generals ( U S M C ) .

The four-star admirals who attended were: Admirals A. J. Hepburn (Ret.), Qass of 1897; J. O. Richardson (Ret.), Class of '02; J. H. Ingram (Ret.), Class of '07; T. C. Kinkaid (Ret.), Class of '08; L. E. Denfeld (Ret.), Class of '12; L. D. McCormick, Class of '15; and W. M. Fechteler, Class of '16.

Of the Academy's 105 graduating classes, 55 had members at the homecoming. The oldest class represented was 1890, by Mrs. H. J. Ziegemeier, widow of R. Adm. H. J. Ziegemeier. The oldest alumnus to register was R. Adm. Horatio G. Gillmor ( C C ) , Ret., who graduated over 60 years ago, on Jime 5, 1891. Rear Admiral Gillmor, who resides at 1720 N Street, N.W., Washington, D. C , retired from active service on February 1, 1934. The visiting alumni had an extensive program laid out for them over the homecoming weekend.

It was planned to make their visit an interesting one by enabling them to see the many changes of routine, additions to the physical plant, and improvements in teaching and training aids that had taken place since "the good old days" when they were midshipmen.

On Friday, October 5, registration began at the Alumni House, and alumni received tickets for homecoming events, special parking permits and an information packet especially compiled for the homecoming grads. After registration, they were invited to attend the Noon Formation, and those alumni who have midshipmen sons had luncheon in the Mess Hall with them.

Later in the afternoon, Y P boats departed from Phlox Landing to .give alumni tours of the Academy's waterfront. Special guided tours began every quarter hour that afternoon, through the Department of Ordnance and Gunnery in Ward Hall; Department of Seamanship and Navigation in Luce Hall; and the Department of Marine Engineering in Isherwood Hall.

Two soccer games were also scheduled for that afternoon. On Lawrence Field, Navy booted home a victory over Western Maryland, 6 to 4, and down on Hospital Point Field the Plebes took a close 3 to 2 game from Calvert Hall High School.

At 4:45 that afternoon, Adm. Louis Denfeld and V. Adm. Harry W. Hill, Superintendent of the Academy, took the review of the Brigade. That evening there was a reception in Dahlgren Hall, and later a long-to-be-remembered informal dinner in the Mess Hall.

Vice Admiral Harry W . Hill, USN, '11 Superintendent On Saturday, the Academy conducted an open house all morning, and three top sports events took place that day. The Plebe football team beat Columbian Prep of Washington, D.. C , 20 to 6 at 1000; at 1100 Villanova eked out a 25 to 30 crosscountry victory at the Academy golf course. That afternoon the Navy football squad almost overtook a highly favored Princeton team, but came out on the short end of a 24 to 20 score.

Sunday morning reserved sections were provided for the alumni at both the Catholic Mass and the regular 1015 Chapel service.

Most of the alumni found, during their stay, that an ever changing world, and never ending progress in military development has necessitated a lot of changes at the Naval Academy. In the past 106 years, most everything has changed to some degree at the Academy, but perhaps the biggest change has taken place in the number of personnel stationed at the school. In 1850, when the Academy was only five years old, there were only 87 midshipmen, three professors and four officers, but by 1900 there were 265 midshipmen, 12 professors and four officers. In 1925 the Academy had expanded to 1,830 midshipmen, 60 professors and 165 officers, while today with the largest staff and Brigade in its history,

the Academy has 3,800 midshipmen, 191 civilian professors and 403 officers.

DDE's Visit A c a d e m y Three of the Navy's anti-submarine escort destroyers (DDE's), the U S S LLOYD THOMAS, KEPPLER and HARWOOD, formerly

classified as hunter-killer destroyers (DDK's), visited the Naval Academy during the Alumni Weekend, and many of the older grads, who were not familiar with the Navy's postwar developments in fighting ships, went aboard to inspect these vessels.

Midshipmen Officers Announced b y Capt. Pirie A former Navy enlisted man, Midshipman First Class James Alvin Sagerholm of Baltimore, Md., has been appointed to the six-stripe rank of Midshipman Captain. He will serve during the first term of the current academic year (September to December 1951) as commander of the largest brigade of midshipmen in the Academy's history; 3,800 men.

The selection of Midshipman Sagerholm and other midshipmen officers was made by

While at the Naval Academy, the French Cadets were given a tour of the grounds and buildings, after which they witnessed a practice parade on Worden Field. They also reviewed the noon formation and took "March Past" on the steps of Bancroft Hall. French-speaking midshipmen hosts dined with them for the meal in the Mess Hall.

GILMORE PORTRAIT PRESENTED TO NAVAL ACADEMY. . . . A portrait of Cdr. Howard W Gilmore, USN (deceased) of the Class of '26, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor during World War II, was presented by his classmates to the U. S. Naval Academy as part of the alumni weekend program at Annapolis. Shown from left to right with the portrait are V. Adm. Harry W. Hill, USN, the Superintendent of the Naval Academy; Capt. Kenneth Craig, USN, Commanding Officer of the aircraft carrier USS MIDWAY, the Vice President of the Class of '26, who presented the portrait; and Capt. Robert B. Pirie, USN, also of the Class of '26, the Commandant of Midshipmen. The Gilmore portrait was painted by Mrs. Maude Paine Evenson, wife of Capt. M. P. Evenson, '26, who is presently in command of the light aircraft carrier USS CABOT. Commander Gilmore uttered the famous command "Take her down!" after he had been mortally wounded on the deck of his submarine USS GROWLER. His refusal to be carried below gave his men the extra seconds they needed to save the ship and crew by submerging under heavy Japanese fire.

Capt. Robert B. Pirie, Commandant of Midshipmen, and his staff. The midshipmen are selected to serve as "Stripers" on the basis of their individual relative standing in aptitude for the service, leadership, conduct and academics. (One-half of the First Class is eligible for selection as "stripers" for September to December, while the other half of the Senior Class is eligible for selection for the December to March period. The entire First Class is eligible for selection as "stripers" during the final period from March to June.)

Of the 13 senior midshipmen officers (Captain, Commander, and Lieutenant Commander), eight had previously been on active duty in the Armed Forces before entering the Naval Academy. Of the eight, six were former Navy enlisted men, one was a First Lieutenant in the Army, and one a private first class in the Marine Corps.

President of Navy League Visits Academy The National President of the Navy League of the U. S., Mr. Frank A. Hecht, Jr., of Chicago, visited the Academy on Wednesday, September 12.

Mr. Hecht arrived at Annapolis at 1400, was met by Vice Admiral Hill and his Aide, Cdr. William F. Bringle, and escorted on a tour of the Academy's grounds and buildings. Mr. Hecht also viewed a practice parade on Worden Field by the Brigade.

Mr. Hecht has been President of the Navy League since June of 1947. The organization which was started in 1902 instituted "Navy Day." Mr. Hecht has been active in Navy League work for many years. He recently returned from England, where he was guest of the Navy League of Great Britain this past summer.

Service Juniors in New Plebe Class French Cadets Visit Academy An impressive list of 172 members of the new plebe class at the Academy are service "juniors"; sons of active, retired or deceased personnel of the Armed Forces.

These plebes are members of the Class of 1955, who entered the Academy during the past summer and commenced their first academic year on September 6, 1951.

A group of ten Cadets and one officer from L'Ecole Polytechnique, the French Military Academy at Paris, visited the Academy, on September 12.

The visit to Annapolis was one of the many important points on the French Cadets' itinerary, which included trips to the U. S. Military Academy, West Point;

Gen. Jean Joseph Marie Gabriel de Lattre de Tassigny, High Commissioner of French Indo-China and Commander-inChief of French Forces in the Far East, made an official visit to the Naval Academy on September 21.

The five-star general was rendered full military honors, consisting of a 19-gun salute, the "Admiral's March," and a full Marine Guard, upon his arrival at 1145.

General de Lattre visited Bancroft Hall, where he received "March Past" by the Brigade of Midshipmen during the noon formation. At 1215 he made a brief address to the Brigade in the Mess Hall.

General de Lattre and his party were luncheon guests at the quarters of Admiral Hill.

Throughout the afternoon he visited the Departments of Ordnance and Gunnery, and Marine Engineering, the Chapel and Museum, before attending a full dress parade in his honor at 3 :30 p.m., by the midshipmen on Worden Field. During the parade, departure honors were rendered to the French general.

General de Lattre was guest of honor at a reception at the home of Admiral and Mrs. Hill immediately following the dress parade.

The 62-year-old general graduated 1st in his class from the St. Cyr Military Academy in 1908. During World War I he was wounded four times, and finished the war as a Major. He served in Morocco from 1921 to 1927 and was wounded again fighting in the Riff War in 1925. From 1932 to 1935 he served as Lieutenant Colonel on the staff of General Weygand, then Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, and became one of his closest advisors.

During World War II he carried Out several defense campaigns at Rethel and on the Aisne River in 1940, as Commander of the 14th Infantry Division. Recalled by the Vichy Government to France from his position as Commander-in-Chief of Troops in Tunisia in 1942, he was subsequently arrested and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for his attempt to make an independent stand in the foothills of the Pyrenees, when the Germans crossed the Demarcation Line in November of 1942. In September, 1943, he escaped, despite the fact that he was kept under a constant armed guard of 50 men and frequently moved from prison to prison. His son, Bernard, then 15 years old, helped arrange his escape. He became Commander of the First Free French Army at the end of the Italian Campaign, and, as the French repS H I P M A T E

resentative, he witnessed the unconditional surrender of the German Armed Forces in Berlm on May 7, 1945.

In July, 1945, he became Inspector General of the French Army and in November of the same year, in addition, the Chief of General Staff of the French Army (equivalent to U. S. Chief of Staff).

In March, 1947, the Ramadier Government separated the post of Chief of the Army General Staff from that of Inspector General, and General de Lattre remained Inspector General of the Armed Forces, with authority over the Inspectors General of the French Navy and Air Force.

In May, 1949, he was relieved of this duty and designated Commanding General of the Western Union Ground Forces. He was next appointed (December, 1950) to his present position in the Far East, and organized the effective French effort against the Communists in Indo-China, where his son, Lt. Bernard de Lattre was recently killed in action.

Events of interest in Severn River Naval Command R. Adm. Harry A. Baldridge (retired), Director of the Naval Academy Museum, completed 53 years of Naval service on September 13.

A Patent Counsel Office has been established at the U. S. Naval Engineering Experiment Station, for the purpose of providing legal service and advice relating to patent and copyright matters, for the Bureau of Ships' activities in the Severn River Naval Command.

Chief Petty Officer Advancement The advancement to chief petty officer, acting appointment, of 1,560 more first class petty officers who competed successfully in the service-wide examinations for advancement in rating held in February 1951 was recently authorized.

The advancements have been authorized to be effected during the period of October 16 to December 16, 1951.

This makes a total of 3,360 advancements which have been authorized from among the 7,200 successful candidates who participated in the February 1951 examinations. Selection was made strictly according to multiple standing and apportioned equitable to both U S N and USNR personnel.

No additional advancements as a result of the February 1951 examinations are contemplated. The next examination for advancement in rating to chief petty officer is scheduled for January 29, 1952.

•

Reserve Advancement Not To Be Impaired Some enlisted Reservists who pass service-wide competitive examinations may be transferred for separation and release to inactive duty before their advancement in rating is authorized and effected. However, such Reservists" may be advanced if they maintain Naval service as a member of the Naval Reserve.

It is to be noted that an individual's ability in a rate for which he is found qualified is not immediately impaired because of his release to inactive duty or separation from the Naval Service.

The following conditions govern such advancements which are subsequent to the release to inactive duty or enlistment or reenlistment following the separation of Reservists : 1. The individual shall hold membership in the Naval Reserve. This membership shall be of a continuing nature under an unexpired enlistment or extension thereof, or it shall be established through enlistment or re-enlistment in the Naval Reserve within three months of the date of discharge from the Regular Navy or Naval Reserve.

2. Advancements under these conditions must be effected within six months of the date they normally are authorized; otherwise, eligibility based on examination completed in the regular establishment is voided.

3. In the event the candidate for advancement has returned to or acquired membership in an organization for which an allowance or quota has been issued, he may only advance to fill a vacancy therein and not in excess. However, if the necessary vacancy is not immediately available, the individual is offered two options. He may elect to be retained on board until a vacancy does exist or he may be transferred '

OUR ILUMM l i THE

By Cdr. Louis Gulliver, USN, Ret. Blood Donations f o r Our Wounded

A dramatically effective appeal for more "good red blood to give American fighting men in Korea a fighting chance to survive" was broadcast by R. Adm. Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, U S N , just before he hauled down his flag on board the cruiser SAINT PAUL, flagship of Cruiser Division One in Korean waters for the past nine months.

Admiral Hillenkoetter said: "The SAINT PAUL was in Korean waters for nine months. During this period I saw and talked with many of our wounded American boys. In two instances our helicopters rescued aviators who were down in Korean enemy territory.

"These aviators are alive today because of the blood which was ready and waiting for them on board the SAINT PAUL. I ask

you to try to see through my eyes the great need for blood in Korea—for all the boys out there in the Armed Forces. Seeing that need as I have seen it, I feel sure that you will do all you can in the way of your blood donations.

"The gratitude of the man whose life you have thus helped to save is the supreme payment for a deed well done."

Summer Studies for College Enlisted Reservists

Captain Azer was chosen to head up the summer ROC, in view of his permanent assignment as Professor of Naval Science and Tactics at the Illinois Institute of Technology at Chicago.

Smaller " A " Bombs for Carrier Convenience

Adm. Lynde D. McCormick, commanding the Atlantic Fleet, is quoted by the New York Times, September 11.

"Eventually, I think that every carrier will be equipped with atomic bombs. Since their reduction in size, they have become more available for carrier use."

Admiral McCormick, who recently took command of the Atlantic Fleet following service in Washington as Vice Chief of Naval Operations under the late Adm. Forrest Sherman, was in New York in connection with the re-commissioning of the carrier W A S P .

During the coming war games of the Atlantic Fleet, there will be simulated use of the atomic bomb. The games will culminate in landings off Onslo Beach near New River, N. C , stated Admiral McCormick.

strength constitute the most effective overall striking force. He stated: "The lessons learned in Korea proved that the security of the United States and of a free people depends on balanced armed forces. In Korea, the co-operation of the armed forces was so close that the fighters and bombers from Task Force 77's seaborne bases (carriers) often gave close ground support to the Army ground forces in attack positions."

(Admiral Ewen was in command of Task Force 77, a "fast striking carrier group.")

Admiral Ewen expressed the Navy's pride in the establishment of the Naval Air Reserve training program that has paid off so handsomely during the past year— a program that was created in November, 1945. Said Admiral Ewen: "It is one of the most sound programs ever put into concrete effect in the interest of national security. The realistic results speak for themselves.

"Instead of folding up these war-time naval air stations in 1945, we made them available to large numbers of naval aviation reserve officers and men—twenty-two naval air stations in different parts of the country were kept ready."

Not long after the carrier PHILIPPINE SEA arrived home from long combat duty in Korean waters, her officers and crew, headed by Capt. Ira E. Hobbs, put on a ceremony never quite like anything ever before in the Navy—a ceremony bespeaking the chivalry and sentiment of men-ofwarsmen. To express their admiration for the gallantry in adversity of Miss Nina Warren, the crew unanimously voted her "Miss PHILIPPINE SEA for 1951." Miss Warren had been stricken with polio— she had fought back and successfully so.

Her father is Governor Earl Warren of California. Nina is 17.

An extraordinarily important project for the training of young men to be ready to serve immediately in the Navy if called on, was successfully accomplished in September. Officially, the undertaking was called Reserve Officer Candidate Summer School and its locale was on Treasure Island in San Francisco. At the administrative head was Capt. John B. Azer, USN, a Naval Academy graduate of 1930. His assistants numbering 130 Naval Reserve Officers are teachers and scholars chosen especially for this duty from college and university faculties.

Associated with Lieutenant Saunders in jet and rocket propulsion research are six other fellows, named by the Foundation— three are Princeton students and three are in residence at California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena.

An unofficial motto for the ROC (initiated in 1949) is: "Do not start training officers when an emergency occurs—do it now."

The reservists, all enlisted personnel, chosen to take the ROC courses at Treasure Island numbered 1,800. Some 10,000 others who made application for the school could not be accommodated. The successful candidates, representative of a national cross section of college young men, began their study and training around July 1 and continued thereafter for a period of about three months.

The candidate requirements for the ROC were: Must be students at accredited colleges; must be naval reservists (enlisted) with outstanding scholastic records; must be in perfect physical condition; must be mentally alert and ready.

One of the rewards conferred is a commission as Ensign in the U. S. Naval Reserve, following completion of two summer schools and completion of college fouryear course.

carried on all afternoon and evening. A special gangway was rigged for the "Princess" accompanied by her older sisters, Virginia and Dorothy, and she was duly piped on board. Eight sideboys, all the law allowed, were at the side.

After the crowning ceremony, Nina reviewed the Marines, all in full dress, and then she ate in the crew's mess. Her "going away" gift from the officers and men of the carrier was a silver loving cup.

Captain Hobbs told the story as each and every man on board listened and nodded Balanced Forces, A r m y , Navy, A i r Are Best O K : R. Adm.

THE u n

Pay Raise Voluntary Retirement Release of Reservists Survivor Benefits

an Ga^uioi JliU

Marine Corps Bill Stalled Other Legislation 1952 Appropriations

By Fred Lardner, '22

Here is the latest action and surmise on various legislative activities of importance to naval officers: 1. Pay increases of 10 percent are in prospect. As of mid-October, however, a military pay raise bill had not been introduced and there is some doubt that Congress will pass such a bill this year.

2. Commissioned officers of the Regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force will not be permitted to retire voluntarily except for physical disability, age or "hardship."

3. Inactive or volunteer Reserve officers called to service after 26 June 1950 will not be required by legislation to be released in large numbers soon.

4. The legislative situation surrounding the subject of survivors' benefits has proven so confusing that the House Armed Services Committee has decided to study the subject further before considering specific legislation.

5. There is little or no chance of Congressional approval this year of legislation to enlarge the Marine Corps.

P a y Raise

In the matter of military pay, the big question now is whether Congress will have time or take time to approve an increase.

Various members of Congress have been working for a military pay raise, but the subject has been kicked around in executive offices for almost six months.

Congress plans to adjourn by early November. A military pay raise bill could be pushed through, but it would be comparatively easy to block hurried consideration of such a bill.

The Department of Defense forwarded a bill to Congress on October 5, calling for a 10 percent increase in basic pay and food and quarters allowance for all members of the uniformed services.

Since 1 October, 1949, when the Career Compensation Act became law, the overall cost of living has increased about 9.5 percent.

"The proposed pay increase is designed to offset this increase in the cost of living and to bring military pay more in line with recent pay increases granted to other government employees and civilian industrial workers," the department said., "It is also designed to offset, to some degree, the extra costs to military personnel concomitant with changes in station, assignments to duty locations where housing costs are prohibitive, and the necessity in many cases for maintaining two homes, as well as other expenses to which service personnel alone are subjected."

The bill would limit any increase under the 10 percent formula to $800. The adjustment would be retroactive to 1 July 1951.

NOVEMBER,

1 9 5 1

Flight Pay

The raise would apply across the board, to officers and enlisted men of the Regular and Reserve forces, both active and retired. It would apply to midshipmen and cadets, and personnel of the Coast Guard, the Geodetic Survey and the Public Health Service would participate.

The bill would cost about $800,000,000 annually.

Voluntary

Retirement

The Defense Department appropriations bill for fiscal year 1952, H.R. 5054, as approved by conferees of the Senate and the House Armed Service Committees, contains this provision: "Provided, that no part of such sum shall be used to pay the retired or retirement pay of any commissioned member of the Regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Air Force who is retired voluntarily after the date of enactment of this act, unless such member was retired because of (1) being unfit to perform the duties of his office, rank, grade, or rating by reason of a physical disability incurred in line of duty, or (2) achieving the age at which retirement is required by law, or (3) whose application is approved in writing by the Secretary of Defense stating that retirement is in the best interest of the service and is required to avoid cases of individual hardship."

The bill had been amended on the House floor to withhold retirement pay to members of the Regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force retired for reasons other than those of physical disability and age. This provision was deleted by the Senate.

In protesting against the House amendment, the Defense Department said: "The laws providing for involuntary retirement of officers for age, length of service or failure to qualify for promotion were designed to permit a flow of promotion of qualified officers through the various grades with a view of having officers reach higher grades, especially the general and flag officer grades, at a vigorous age. This is not possible without a reasonable amount of forced attrition, even during a period of national emergency. It is also generally desirable to permit the voluntary retirement of personnel with more than 30 years' service in order to maintain a healthy attrition and flow of promotions."

finally to require the separation from the services only of enlisted men in these branches.

The Defense Department appropriations bill was amended to contain the following language: "No part of any appropriation contained in this Act shall be expended for the pay or allowances, accruing after 30 November 1951 of any enlisted member of the Inactive or Volunteer Reserve who served on active duty for a period of 12 months or more in any branch of the Armed Forces during the period beginning 7 December 1941 and ending 2 September 1945, if such member shall have served on active duty for a period of 16 months or more after 20 June 1950, unless such member shall have voluntarily consented to remain on active duty."

In testifying on this subject, a Defense Department spokesman said there vvere some 280,000 reservists in this classification, and S8,0()O of these were officers.

The amendment differs from the original proposal in another way; it specifies service of 16 months since 26 June 1950 instead of the original 12 months.

A Navy Department witness had testified that the original provision would have required the release in November of 1,400 men and 24,000 enlisted men above releases then planned, and the release of 1,600 trained Marine Corps officers.

The final agreement eliminates the principal hazard of the program, the early release of thousands of officers. The release of enlisted Reserves can be effected with less apprehension. In fact, the Army plans to release by December 20 100,000 Reservists assigned to active duty involuntarily from the ranks of inactive and volunteer Survivor

Benefits

Because of the number of laws bearing on survivor benefits, and the inequities resulting from some of them, the House Armed Services Committee has withdrawn consideration of H.R. 5169, the Uniformed Services Survivors' Benefit Act of 1951.

A new bill will be introduced in the near future.

H.R. 5169 replaced H.R. 1029 as the primary bill on this subject. The bill was approved by the Retired Officers AssociaCongress was influenced to take this ac- tion, the Fleet Reserve, the services, and tion by reports of the retirement of high- other organizations.

This law must be changed or, 11

no matter what kind of service law is enacted, other service people will have lesser benefits than the above-mentioned reserves.

Marine Corps Bill Stalled

There is little or no chance for passage of a bill to increase the size of the Marine Corps to 400,000 men.

The House Armed Services Committee approved the bill with an overwhelming vote. The House Rules Committee, however, has refused to clear the bill for consideration on the House floor.

Administration spokesmen testified against the bill, and the House Rules Committee obviously favors the Administration view.

It is possible that committee members believe the House might approve the bill, and therefore wish to keep it away from the House floor.

Other Legislation

Promotion of Naval Officers. There is considerable support in the Senate for a new bill, S. 2134, which would require promotion to the rank of captain under various circumstances.

For instance, section (a) requires the President to promote to captain any officer of the Regular Navy, active or retired, who was graduated from the Naval Academy prior to 30 June 1924; holds the permanent rank of commander; was promoted to the temporary grade of commander prior to 1 September 1942; completed 27 years of continuous active commissioned service without once having had an unsatisfactory fitness report or disciplinary action taken against him; holds one or more wartime awards; and has been recommended for promotion to captain by one or more flag officers.

Section (b) requires promotion to captain of any officer of the Regular Navy, active or retired, holding the permanent rank of commander, who (1) failed of promotion between 1 January 1942 and 7 August 1947; (2) has appealed his case to the Board for Correction of Naval Records; and (3) has been recommended by that Board for promotion to captain.

ment of flight pay to personnel whose actual assigned duties do not involve operational or training flight."

The Navy recently reduced its flying proficiency requirement from 100 hours to 80 hours annually. The Navy has about 15,000 flying personnel and the Marine Corps has 3,250 personnel who qualify for flight pay.

The Navy and the Marine Corps argued that any reasonable program enabling officers assigned to desk jobs to maintain flying proficiency serves the national defense, for it enables them to shift to active duty without taking the three-month refresher course.

Dependent Travel to Japan

The dependents of IS enlisted men and one officer were included in the first group of dependents that was scheduled to leave the United States in November to join servicemen stationed in Japan.

The 16 were part of the approximately 250 dependents scheduled to embark on a Military Sea Transportation Service transport in the first group to sail from Seattle, Wash., under the resumed travel program.

Travel of dependents was suspended originally because of extraordinary demands made by the Korean operation on shipping, supply and other facilities. Expansion of these facilities has been made to such an extent that it is now considered feasible to lift the suspension and resume dependent travel.

Selection of dependents authorized to travel was made in accordance with provisions of entry established by Commanderin-Chief, Far East Command, and the priority lists based upon length of separation of the principal from his family, in accordance with criteria applied uniformly to civilian and to military personnel of the Army, Air Force, and Navy authorized by law and regulation to occupy public quarters.

Leading the priority list for all services were the dependents of a Navy Chief Engineman, John T. Winkler, USN. His wife and their four-year-old son were the first to be selected for travel to Japan.

The youngest Navy child scheduled to go to Japan was Sheilagh Driscoll, 18month-old daughter of Chief Aviation Storekeeper and Mrs. Walter J. Driscoll, USN. A total of 41 Navy dependents were scheduled to make the journey. That included 16 wives and 25 children.

The Bureau of Naval Personnel has announced the cancellation of orders recently issued to R. Adms. George A. Holderness, Jr., USN, and Wesley M. Hague, USN. Under new change of duty orders. Rear Admiral Holderness was detached from duty as Commanding Officer and Director, David W. Taylor Model Basin, Carderock, Md., and reported for duty to the Chief of the Bureau of Ships, Navy Department.

Rear Admiral Holderness wfes originally slated for duty as Chief of the Office of Industrial Relations, Navy Department.

Rear Admiral Hague, originally ordered to duty with the Chief of the Bureau of Ships, Navy Department, continued his present duties as Chief of the Office of Industrial Relations, Navy Department.

The Bureau of Naval Personnel has issued change of duty orders to R. Adm. Lorenzo S. Sabin, Jr., USN, and R. Adm. Ralph E. Wilson, USN. In October, Rear Admiral Sabin was detached from duty as Deputy Commander, Military Sea Transportation Service, Washington, D. C, and from additional duty as Inspector General, Military Sea Transportation Service, and reported for duty in a sea command.

Rear Admiral Wilson was detached from duty as Chief of Staff and Aide, Commander, Military Sea Transportation Service, Washington, D.

For the fourth consecutive year the Secretary of the Navy has awarded the Navy's Certificate for Achievement in Safety to the Bureau of Ships.

In a ceremony held in Secretary Dan Kimball's office on 28 September the award was personally presented to Adm. Homer N. Wailin, Chief of the Bureau. The award was made in recognition of the low accident frequency rate in naval shipyards in 1950.

The certificate reads as follows: 195i2 Appropriations "The Secretary of the Navy hereby awards this certificate of Achievement in The House-Senate conferees on the DeSafety to the Bureau of Ships for having fense Department appropriations bill for maintained an outstanding safety program the fiscal year 1952 have finally arrived at for the year 1950.

Capt. Jack Sidney Dorsey, USN, and Mrs. Dorsey of Annapolis announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Liela Dorsey, to Ens. Wm. Summers Thompson, USN, '51.

A winter wedding is planned.

GOINGS ON

A blueprint on what to do and where to go might be gleaned from the trip of Mrs. Stephen M. Archer who toured Europe this summer while her husband was on duty in that area. Captain Archer, USN, recently had a tour of duty in Annapolis and is now in the Mine Warfare Section at the Pentagon.

First off, a Renault was bought in Paris, then stops on the French Riviera where the captain's ship was anchored, a dinner by the Mayor and Prefect, an air flight by Mrs. Archer to Malta, a party given by the Consul General at Palermo.

Then a night boat to Naples and on to the Isle of Capri (over-rated and too commercial) with visits at Sorrento and Pompeii. A return trip to Rome and a party given by Brig. Gen. J. Harmony, USN, and Mrs. Harmony whose nephew, Midn.

Lee Harmony, is a plebe at the Naval Academy. Then on to Venice, a sightsee in Genoa with its 500th anniversary of Columbus' birth. The captain was detached from his ship, so a ferry across the English channel to London where they visited Miss Mary Alice Larson, daughter of the late Col. E. E. "Swede" Larson, USMC, where she is attached to the American Embassy. Home today for the Archers is Arlington, Va. . . .

BY LEE SHORES *******4***********************9***^

"Sir, there are thirty days until the Army game and fifty-one days until Christmas leave." Yes, things are beginning to look up. Some of the most sour individuals have been seen venturing a smile before 1600. Two of the highlights of anyone's year at Navy are within the foreseeable future. The Brigade Activities Committee has started to draw up their secret plans for "Tecumseh's" warpaint, and plebes are losing sleep over the Army poster that will be displayed on their doors. Last year the ancient Indian climbed down from his pedestal and scalped, in effigy, an unwary Cadet who happened by. It isn't known whether he will again display his ability to walk at night, but all hands hope he can once again help to send an Army team back to Woo-Poo empty handed.

Last summer, during the ashore phase of Camid, the Second Class started the ball rolling in the right direction by taking three out of four from the Cadets in a preseason Army Weekend. Navy took home trophies for volleyball, baseball and touch football. Army ran off with the softball game and trophy. We hope this foreshadows a similar success on 1 December.

The Hop Committee and the BAC, in conjunction with some very nice people from Philly, have set the stage for the fourth annual Brigade Cotillion. This affair is one of the really fine ways to spend the time between the early hours of the evening and the time that last train pulls out of the B&O Station. The idea is simple ; the young lovelies are local talent and the Brigade provides the manpower. A very workable arrangement.

Slowly and hesitantly ole Mother Bancroft is having her face lifted. The two new barber shops in the first and second wings are air conditioned and the older ones are being rebuilt with air cooling equipment as part of the new installation.

During the warm early part of September the new shops were filled with studious mids with little or no interest in a haircut.

It was just nice and cool down there.

Maybe the day when all hands can study in air cooled comfort is not too far off.

be called the 18, is put through its very smooth paces by co-leaders Larry lannotti and Les Hewitt. During the intermission a cheerleader or a football player has been introduced to the Brigade with leading questions regarding Podunk, hobby and favorite joke.

Many are the pastimes that are used to while away the long winter afternoons.

Some men collect stamps, others are model builders, extra-curriculars occupy many, and once in a while more unique diversions pop up. There was once a first classman who had a small zoo in his room.

On top of his locker a goldfish swam endlessly around in a bowl with seaweed and gravel. On his closet shelf, a little mouse that had been captured in the passageway spun a wheel for exercise. He kept this menagerie for months and took the inmates with him when he graduated.

Another tale along this line concerns a practical jokester and a hamster. This funnyman bought one of these prolific rodents and placed it in a room just after the formation bell for evening meal. At one bell he raced back to the scene of his crime to await the results. The recipients of the gift, however, were not too amused.

Intrigued is the word. They just went along quietly and kept the beast. By June Week they were quite attached to the little rodent that had learned to cope with room inspectors and had become used to being cooped up most of the time. One rule was that the door must never be open while the hamster was on the deck. The day after graduation, in the excitement, the door was left open for a few seconds and the hamster raced out into the passageway and hit for tall timber. He was stopped enroute by a well-aimed seabag, wielded by one of the new youngsters who thought he was rendering a public service by dealing a mouse the coup de grace. When the awful import of his rash act dawned on him he was close to tears. Some say the owners were seen to weep. The wages of sin . . . or something.

reason for the order was not immediately apparent. Soon after, however, the great annual hunt for term paper topics got underway and these extra chairs are now piled high with obscure reference books on such vital topics as the Naval Administration of Haiti; the effect of meteorology on famous battles; comprehensive ratings of 100 football teams and similar matter.

Some of the First Classmen who have trouble writing a one-page letter home, requesting a few bills to get them over a particularly lumpy weekend, are oiling typewriters and sharpening pencils for the big plunge. Never underestimate the power of the Bull Department!

Heavy hangs over my head a Nav P-work, and tomorrow is not too far away. Be back next month.

OUR ALUMNI IN THE NEWS (Continued from page 10) The cruiser MANCHESTER has an Hon-

orary Commanding Officer aside from her Captain, Laurence H. Frost, U S N . This unique award was made to Miss Marion Davies who is referred to in the Los Angeles Examiner as the "beautiful film star." A formal citation attesting the honor was read by Captain Frost at a buffet dinner-dance in the Beverly Hills home of Miss Davies. The Examiner adds that the party was given "by the lovely hostess to honor the officers and wives and sweethearts of this great ship, called the "fightingest heavy unit in the Korean conflict."

Miss Davies was at the pier when the MANCHESTER arrived in Los Angeles harbor in June on returning from ten months in Korean waters.

The newspaper account continues: "Miss Davies was tremendously surprised when the new skipper of the MANCHESTER, Cap-

tain Frost, made the announcement. He told the guests that the men of the MANCHESTER were deeply grateful to Miss Davies for her interest in their homecoming."

Then Captain Frost handed Miss Davies the cap of a Navy captain and read the citation:

"To all sailors and Marines, wherever ye may be and to all pollywogs, shellbacks, mermaids, sea serpents, landlubbers and other denizens of the deep and dwellers above the seas: Greetings.

NAVY ATHLETICS Despite the fact Coach Eddie Erdelatz and his grid Middies have not yet registered in the win column. Navy has piled up enough yardage in both starts to cinch the average ball game, and big Bob Zastrow, the Academy's All-American quarterback candidate, has accounted for the major portion of the total output.

In 45 plays in which he has figured directly, the Algoma, Wise, husky has advanced the ball 313 yards—244 passing and another 69 on the ground. His eight tries at the ball carrying duty have netted him an 8.6-yard average per carry, while in the aerial department he has connected on 16 of 27 attempts which has accounted for his passing gain.

No. 2 man in total offense for the Navy has been fullback Fred Franco whose 35 carries have gained a total of 169 yards and a 4.7 average.

The story of the Middies' failure to come out on top against their two opponents despite the wide statistical advantage can be found in the "fumbles lost" and "yards penalized" columns where they also held the lead.

In just eight quarters of play Navy's ball carriers have fumbled the pigskin 10 times, seven of which have been covered by the opposition. As for the loss of ground by penalties, the Midshipmen have been set back on 16 different occasions for a total of 150 yards.

In the opener Navy tied Yale 7-7 and dropped a 24-20 thriller to Princeton.

Most spectacular of Navy's accomplishments so far this season have been the two long touchdown gallops scored in last Saturday's 24-20 loss to Princeton's Tigers.

Brady, the only man in the Middie starting backfield who did not letter last fall, ripped off a 58-yard touchdown rim which was quickly followed by a 40-yard scoring jaunt by Zastrow. Brady's dash was just nine yards shy of his total output for the entire 1950 season.

SMITH

(Capt. USN-Ret., Class of 1895) 12 OCTOBER 1874â&#x20AC;&#x201D;3 MARCH

1951

Naval Cadet S. F. Smith graduated from the Naval Academy in 1895 with distinction, and was selected by the Chief Constructor of the Navy for the two-year graduate course in Naval Architecture at the Ecole d'Application du Genie Maritime in Paris. The endorsements on his orders indicated that first-class transportation. New York to Paris, was furnished by Pay Director L. G. Billings at a cost of $115 and that Naval Cadet Smith reported to Lt. Cdr. R. P. Rogers, Naval Attache, Paris, on the Fourth of July.

Smith obtained the diploma of this famous school of design in July 1897 and was immediately commissioned an Assistant Naval Constructor, Construction Corps, U. S. Navy, and ordered to the Philadelphia Navy Yard for duty.

Thereafter, until 1917, his duties were those of an officer of the Construction Corps at various naval stations and private shipyards having to do with shipbuilding, ship repair, and maintenance. At various times he served at the Navy yards at New York, Bremerton, and Norfolk, and was superintending constructor for naval shipbuilding at private shipyards at Elizabeth, N. J., Sparrows Point, Md., and at Newport News, Va. In 1904-6, he was head of the Department of Construction and Repair at the Navy Yard, Cavite, P. I., and from 1906-13 20

served in the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department.

With the onset of World War I, he joined the staff of Admiral Sims in London as Construction Officer. For this duty Naval Constructor Smith was a most happy choice to deal with British, French, and Italian shipyards and naval organizations. A great assemblage of U. S. naval vessels operating in the Atlantic and Mediterranean had to be maintained and repaired far from their home ports.

Besides recognized professional eminence as a naval architect. Smith brought to diplomatic-technical problems understanding of foreign practices and facilities. Smith's natural persuasiveness was reinforced by his perfect facility in French, not only the French of the drawing room but also that of the sailor and shipbuilder. After the war, the French government named him to the Legion of Honor with the rank of Officer.

It will be recalled that Smith was born in England where his father had been American consul and he had many family and social connections there. This circumstance made him persona grata at the Admiralty and, no doubt, gave him a sensitive ear in negotiations for priorities, facilities, emergency repairs, and the hundreds of demands our vessels made on already overtaxed British dockyards.

After the Armistice in November 1918 an Inter-allied Naval Armistice Commission was formed to proceed immediately to German naval bases to inventory ships, submarines, and aircraft, and to take measures to prevent a last-gasp sortie or other gesture before their delivery to the Allies for ultimate disposal.

To this Commission of admirals. Smith was detailed as construction expert by Admiral Sims. Smith was assisted by three officers of the Construction Corps, McBride for ships. Land for submarines, and Hunsaker for aircraft.

The Commission, embarked in H.M.S. HERCULES and four British destroyers, proceeded through the North Sea and Heligoland Bight mine fields with a German officer pilot to Wilhelmshofen, Cuxhaven, Kiel and other naval centers. Smith organized inspecting parties to locate and check the condition of all German warships and aircraft, including Seppelins, with a view to their delivery into Allied hands when so ordered.

In this work. Smith planned the inspections to focus on essentials and, as a consequence, what at first seemed to be an interminable job was completed in a few weeks.

In July of 1919, Smith returned to the Bureau of Construction and Repair in Washington where he administered shipbuilding contracts for the Chief of Bureau, Rear Admiral David W. Taylor. Smith's outstanding reputation for good judgment and fairness led to his additional duty as a member of the Naval Examining Board

and as Senior Member of a Selection Board.

He retired at his own request in October 1922 after thirty-one years' service with the rank of Captain, Construction Corps.

The second World War was the cause of his recall to active duty in the office of the Secretary of the Navy, to deal with the flood of inventions and suggestions from an aroused public and Congress. It cannot be forgotten that initially the submarine war in the Atlantic was apparently being lost, as well as the naval war in the Pacific. In the OflSce of the Coordinator of Research and Development, Smith organized a small staff of experts to examine conscientiously every suggestion, to give the proponent a personal hearing, and to see to it that this screening process caught the values without destroying the confidence of the patriotic citizen.

Again Smith's outstanding professional competence and good judgment served his country well. This duty completed, he was for the last time relieved of active duty on November 13, 1945.

I have just come back from a one week visit to my son and his family at Santa Monica. I flew both ways, American Airline, and, boy, if they ever have a woman in one of those planes who is as smart looking as the stewardesses I hope she will be traveling with me. I found my daughterin-law, Anne, who has been a polio patient for more than two years, getting along fine.

She and her husband are both cheerful and show signs of being happy. It has been a long grind for them but patience and good will and guts seem to be winning for them.

My dear old friends, Scott and Gladys McCaughey, live at Long Beach and with a rented Chevrolet I was able to get to their house without trouble. Scott drove me to see Eddie Lapham. He and Mrs. Lapham have one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It is about the hilltop, 1644 Casale Rd., Pacific Palisades. The house is superb, inside and out, and the grounds which Eddie and Mrs. Lapham personally garden remind me of the gardens around the Reina Cristina at Algeciras when they were at their best, forty years ago. Now I am back home and, although I have given away my football tickets for the Princeton game, I think I will go to Annapolis October 6th to see Admiral and Mrs. Hill whose company is always pleasant.

I,

who's whuppin' who?

hese days, when you read the papers, it seems as though Labor has a neversay-die strangle hold on Business. And Business has a vise-like grip on Labor.

And over in the corner, Government is getting into the act to make things as complicated as possible for the other contesting parties.

Aren't we supposed to be fighting something else? Something called the World-Wide Communist Revolution?

When Labor is recalcitrant, vindictive and argumentative, nobody wins.

When Business is adamant, the spirit of fair play vanishes and nobody wins.

When Government passes restrictive legislation, over-spends, over-complicates, and generally intrudes, nobody wins, (Except, of course, something called the WorldWide Communist Revolution.)

What's happened to the good old American custom of working together to get things done?

It will take all of us, all working together to o v e r c o m e : (a) inflation, (b) the spread of Communism.

We all agree, don't we, that these problems are paramount. Let's go, then!

A little bickering is a healthy thing!

But Donnybrooks are a luxury we can't afford. Let's stop carping about the wrongs of Free Enterprise and be proud of the rights about it.

For it may truthfully be said that our Free Enterprise system today is the hope of the world. It is the bulwark of our own productive, stimulating economic system.

But sure as tomorrow, it won't workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless we get together and make it work.

J O S E P H H. GARVIN, (Capt. U S N ) has been ordered to duty as Chief Inspector, Paafic Reserve Fleet. Previously, Captain Garvin was in operations and planning officer in that fleet.

Announcement has been made by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Carl Hauser of the marriage of their daughter, Lois Marie, to Mr. J O H N R. R H A M S T I N E , JR., at South Orange, N. J., 8 September.

In Chicago, the September meeting of our Alumni Association there was addressed by our own H A P GOODALL. Everyone knows that Hap has a lot on which to base an interesting talk, since he spent 32 months in a Jap P O W camp.

Our group in Chicago also took an active part in the festivities held there in connection with the Navy-Northwestern football game. L E W I S H E R R I N G T O N is currently in command of the Chicago Assn.

We regret not having details concerning activities on this occasion; the plans called for Mr. and Mrs. K E N R A N D O L P H acting as host and hostess for our class get-together in Chicago. Among those on duty in the Chicago area are C H E S E V A N S , H.A.P GOODALL, W H I T E Y R I C H A R D S and JIM R I C K E T T S . Other classmates in the area are L O U I S ALLEN, F R A N K A N D R E W S , LOUIS B A S T I E N , P A U L BRYANT, F E R D I E DARTSCH, J I M M I E DEYO, BOB KEYER, LEWIS HERRINGTON, DICK P E N N Y , K E N R A N D O L P H and REP REPLOGLE. More big news from Chicago: Sue Jordan Herrington was bom there on October 2, 1951, the first child of Mr. and Mrs. L E W I S B. H E R R I N G T O N . We've heard of some new grandchildren in the class, but this is the first direct off-spring in the class in a long time. Our Class Secretary is sending class congratulations to the Herringtons; and he would also like to know if there are any other 1951 births to record for the Class of 1924.

We hear that C H A R L I E B E A T T Y is still managing the utility service in the Leadville, Colorado area, where snow fell in the high peaks many weeks ago. Charlie is one who planned to be at the Northwestern game October 20.

Did you see S K E E E R D M A N N on television September 24? He appeared, handsome and photogenic, on the popular Horace Heidt amateur program-â&#x20AC;&#x201D;as a judge, not a contestant.

ED K E A R N S was recently in New York tracking down scarce materials which are essential to his proceeding on an important Navy contract in the Philadelphia area.

Ed is an electrical contractor there.

Speaking of Skee Erdmann, did you happen to know him in Annapolis as a Candidate for admission to U S N A ? Those were the days of real sport, and there were some things done that were hard to take as "sport"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;or would be so today. There was plenty of "give and take" between the various clans, and the rooms of associates.

BOYD W I L S O N likes to tell of the retaliation he and some others took on Skee, when they removed from the Erdmann room every piece of furniture, all personal belongings including books, and hid them away. W e are rambling now in our memories of an imforgettable part of Annapolis life. Surely there never was a character quite like the Annapolis "Candidate" of 1919-1920. All our readers are invited to recall and send in their favorite anecdote from "Candidate Days."

Lockheed's P2V Neptune setting new records 32

More than six years after the first model was delivered to the U.S. Navy, Lockheed P2V Neptune Patrol Bombers are still setting new records.

Navy Squadron 931, flying nine P2V's on a secret Pacific mission, recently racked up 1306.9 flight hours in a single monthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nearly 400 hours more than the previous record for a multi-engined squadron. An average availability of 76.5% was maintained during one month.

Such a performance record is characteristic of the P2V. So well has this twin-engined bomber proved itself that the Navy continues to order it in large numbers. The current backlog will require more than two years to fill.

The P2V still holds the world's nonstop distance record of 11,236 miles.

The secretary writes: "A class cocktail and buffet dinner party was held at the Blue Room of the Naval Gun Factory the evening of 14 September.

Those who made the party were: Carlton Adams, Punk Bardwell, Aubrey Bourgeois, J. B. Bowen, Al Boyd, Ray Conner, John Dimmick, Ed Dorner, Mush Dornin, Willie Doyle, Bill Ellis, Bill Centner, Wally Greene, Joe Hartman, Dick Herms, Mike Hunt, Connie Konigsberg, Jack Lee, Nick Lidstone, Charlie Mauro, McLeod, Frank Miller, Bill Nelson, Ross Newman, Joe O'Handley, Mell Peterson, Ray Pilcher, Eddie Price, Lynn Quiggle, Joe Ruddy, Joe Robbins, Oakleigh Robinson, Fish Salmon, George Seay, Joe Snyder, Art Spring, Van Metre, Wadsworth, Dave Whelchel, Wings Wingard.

The Adams encountered such a storm on their drive up from Norfolk that Carlton's clothes were soaked in the trunk compartment. (Mighty poor watertight integrity, I would say.) It looked as though they wouldn't â&#x20AC;˘ make the party until Mush Dornin's wife came to the rescue and ironed enough water out of Carlton's clothes so he could wear them.

Other out of town attendees were Charlie Mauro from Dahlgren, the Bowens from Patuxent, the Dimmicks, Greenes, Pilchers, and Prices from Quantico.

Everyone apparently enjoyed the party.

At least George Seay and I think so, since we were the working committee.

A class luncheon was held on 27 September at the Naval Gun Factory. Although this was rather close to the cocktail party, it was well attended Jack Moreno came all the way from the West Coast. Among the locals present were: Brady, Lee, Seay, Salmon, Boyd, Dornin, Dorner, Yokes, Robbins, Halstead, Roby, Lidstone, Wadsworth, O'Handley, Alexander, Gluntz, Hahn, Hartman, Herms, McCullough, Bill Sanders, Brook, Woods, Lloyd, Mott, Whelchel, Newman, Ruddy, Don Weller, Peterson, Fry, Moffett, Newsome, Sanchez, Craighill.

In the discussion at the table we found the Class of 1930 is still making progress in the production of descendants. Don Krick has a new arrival. It was supposed to be a boy, but instead there are now four girls in the Krick family. Foxy Newsome and myself are legitimate grandfathers. By legitimate, we mean that no advantages were taken by accepting ready made families.

C-E Vertical Superheaters improve boiler performance and reduce maintenance costs Sfag doesn't accumulate as rapidly on vertical s u r f a c e s . T h e v e r t i c a l a r r a n g e m e n t of t h e superheater elements tends to discourage slag deposits that retard heat transfer a n d reduce overall boiler efficiency.

Supports in the high temperature zones are eliminated. Heavy, bulky supports of temperature resistant alloy located in t h e high temperature gas zone have caused maintenance difficulties on some designs. T h e y are not necessary with C-E Vertical Superheaters. Most of the weight of the Superheater elements is c a r r i e d on t h e h e a d e r s , w a t e r c o o l e d lugs on the elements being used primarily for positioning.

Slag deposits are more easily r e m o v e d . A n y

slag formation in the front boiler bank or in the superheater can readily be removed because the tubes that m a k e u p these surfaced are arranged in line and parallel to each other.

Moreover, the C-E Vertical Superheater permits advantageous arrangements of the soot blowers, making possible effective and prompt removal of deposits before t h e y can build up to the extent where boiler operation is adversely affected.

First in d e v e l o p m e n t — ^ A e n Dr. DuMont started his research in 193L the cathode ray tube was a laboratory curiosity. It was his development of this tube that made electronic television commercially practical.

as pioneer

DUMONT A great a n d exciting thing happened in 1931. A m a n who believed that electronics should be seen, not just h e a r d , began to p u t the " v i s i o n " into television. Dr. Allen B. D u M o n t took a laboratory curiosity called a cathode ray tube, a n d he took it seriously. F r o m it, he developed the television picture tube.

Later, the D u M o n t Laboratories developed m a n y different types of cathode ray tubes for wonderful new uses: R a d a r , L o r a n for guiding ships and planes in all weather, devices that could "paint p i c t u r e s " of light and sound waves, look inside a metal bar, analyze a h u m a n heartbeat, or perform countless other miracles to aid industry, science, medicine . . . a n d national defense.

But the Electronic Age is scarcely b o m . Still greater developments will come in the next twenty years to help m a k e America brighter, happier, more secure.

A great m a n y of them will again come from the D u M o n t Laboratories a n d factories . . . for in electronics, D u M o n t has the habit of being first with the finest.

First with the finest in Electronics

First in telecasting—Du Mont operates the first television network. Its key station, WABD, New York, was the first fuUy equipped, high-powered station on the air, and was first with daytime programming.

First with h o m e receivers—i)u Mont built the first commercial home receivers in 1939. After the war, in 1946, DuMont was first on the market with a line of fine receivers; first with the 20-inch and 30-inch tubes—the world's largest.

First in precision electronics—Z>u Mont is the world's foremost maker of scientific precision instruments utilizing the electronic cathode ray tube.

First in station e q u i p m e n t — Du .Mont is a leading maker of high-fidelity, precision broadcasting equipment, and has planned, designed, and built many of the country's leading television stations.

The committee did a fine job preparing for it, and we all had one of the better evenings.

At the monthly luncheon at the Club, on 3 October, we had the largest turnout in years. It seems about everybody took advantage of fine weather to get away from it all for a few hours. Guests attending included T O M W A L K E R from VX-S, Moffatt Field; JIM RAMAGE from Sandia; CHUCK LEIGH, just reported in town for some language instruction prior to a tour in the mission in Peru; A N D Y DREA, P O S E Y H O O P E R and T O M M U R P H Y reporting in to BuShips; W A L T M c G U I N N E S S , reporting in to J A G ; F R E D TUCKER, reporting in, and B U T C H COULTER, up from Annapolis for the day. Honest, there were a million guys we haven't seen for years. Butch brought the report that BLACKIE BLACKBURN just became the proud father of twins two weeks ago, for which you owe me a stogie, Blackie. Butch also reports that monthly class luncheons are held in Annapolis on the first Friday of each month, which you guys in the District might like to take advantage of if a quiet day comes along.

The Annapolis crowd is busy now with plans for a big Alumni reunion the weekend of the Princeton football game.

H A R R Y "Dog" F O R B E S and J I M W A L LACE are planning a day at the Club after the game, but the dope on that will have to wait until next month.

The final news from Washington this month concerns departures from our midst.

BOB and Mickey CLARK are leaving for a rather unusual tour of sea duty in Newport, R. I., on a destroyer staff—unusual because it includes fine quarters; and F R E D and Betty CLARK are leaving for the West Coast, out home in Long Beach, where Fred will take command of the U S S BOYD.

ANNAPOLIS The Annapolis Chapter foregathered at Alumni House for the first meeting following the summer recess, on Wednesday, September 12, in response to the "call to arms" sent out by President Jack S. Dorsey (Captain USN, USNA, 1930) to all members and associate members to come and bring their guests, including ladies.

The largest crowd in many months turned out and listened to an interesting summary of varsity football for the new season and a word portrait of every man on the squad —all by Head Football Coach Eddie Erdelatz.

Summarizing the forecasts and opinions now prevailing. Coach Erdelatz expressed belief that while his players as a group lack some of the strength of the 1950 squad, they are an improved crew as regards knowledge of the game and especially of the coaching methods made effective when Mr. Erdelatz took over last year. There was an interesting question and answer period at the end.

Then, fine coffee and excellent doughnuts in abundance for all. It proved to be an excellent meeting, snappily conducted

by President Dorsey.

eroproducts dual rotating propeller converts power of the T40 into maximum thrust Aeroprops efficiently harness the tremendous power of the Allison T40 engine in the U. S. Navy's A2D Skyshark. The result.'' Flashing, near-sonic speed plus range, climb and performance possible to date only with this great turbo-prop power and Aeroprop combination.

Years of research went into this amazing engine and propeller combination. Yes, years of research by some of the finest aeronautical engineers in the country—the men at Aeroproducts and Allison in cooperation with the Navy, which provided our Navy with a new and vastly more destructive weapon.

As a result, Aeroproducts is now preparing to deliver on the first production order existing for Turbine propellers.
