WSPG Accident Rate Jumps During August

(By the WSPG Safety Office)

During the first six monfhs of the calendar year J.953, the White Sands Proving Ground overall accident rate with re­gards to personal injuries was about average as compared to other military establishments.

During the month of August, 1953, our accident rate jum­ped to an unfavorable high.

All of the accidents so far experienced this year can be at­tributed to causes which we may easily overcome. The two main causes of accidents are

identification at all times, both on and off the post, was point­ed out this week by Intelli­gence and Security Division af­ter a WSPG soldier received back a billfold either lost or stolen more than three months ago in the vicinity of Dallas.

Sgt. James E. Bush, Inform­ation and Education Specialist, Army Education Center, took his re-enlistment furlough in May. Somewhere in the vicinity of Dallas he missed his billfold containing more than $300 in cash and all necessary znilitary papers, including his medical shot record and military and civilian drivers' licenses.

Mentally kissing his billfold and its contents a regretful farewell, and with visions of numerous repeat shots ahead, he got into the Proving Ground on the strength of his furlough papers and applied for dupli­cate records.

Last week the billfold, con­taining all papers but emptied of the $300, was received at the WSPG Post Office. It had been dropped into a mail box in the Dallas area and was sent on to the Proving Ground after au­thorities learned his name and address through his ID card.

The thief will be very red­faced if he learns that he miss­ed two twenty-dollar bills in a secret compartment of the billfold. The owner, with sev­eral days before payday, says it's like "money from home."

"Spy and Counterspy," a novel of adventure, mystery, murder, intrigue and romance which has White Sands Prov­ing Ground and the WSPG area as its setting, began in The Saturday Evening Post last week (August 22 issue).

The serial was written by Clar­ence Budington Kelland, well known aµthor of Phoenix, Ariz., who visited WSPG last October to gather background material and other information for his new novel. His visit here was author­ized by the Department of De­fense.

Writes Short Stories Mr. Kelland is one of the most

prolific writers for The Satur­day Evening Post and other na­tional magazines. For more than 20 years, he has published two book-length serials in the Post each year. Most have been print­ed in book form after running in the Post, and many have been made into movies.

In addition, Mr. Kelland has wriitten thousands of short stories for the Post, American Magazine, Country Gentleman and other publications. He is the creator of the "Scattergood Baines" series of short stories for the American Magazine and the "Scipio Ma­ther" series for the Country Gen­tleman.

Naflve of Michigan For his novels, such as "Spy and

Counterspy" now running in the Post, Mr. Kelland always selects an actual background. He usually works in actual historical back­ground, and many of his book­length stories are classed as his-

torical novels. A writer for the last 45 years,

Mr. Kelland pointed out during his visit here last October that he strives to inform the reader as well as entertain him.

Born in Portland, Mich., Mr. Kelland moved to Phoenix 20 years ago. The majority of his

Remodeling Started At NCO Mess; Club Closes Indefinitely

The WSPG NCO Open Mess is the scene of buzzing activity this week as workmen from the Post Engineers go about the task of renovating the entire building. The NCO Club will remain closed until the work is completed.

According to M/Sgt. David Johns Jr., Club Manager, every­thing but the food service facili­ties will be affected by the work being done. A new floor is plan­ned and wainscoating will be ap­plied completely around the interior. New light fixtures will be installed and picture windows will take the place of the unsight­ly barracks-type sashes.

The present storage room will receive a thorough "going over" and will be transfored into a highly attractive game room. Rest rooms will be enlarged and new fixtures installed. A dressing room for visiting entertainers is included in the plans, as well as a cloak room for the benefit of members and their guests.

either inattention by the injured employee or hurrying to finish the job at hand.

Seek Expert Advice Few of us have no worries. We

should strive to solve our person­al problems off the job. If the personal problems weigh heavily on your mind, seek the confi­dence of a person who is compe­tent to advise you. Your super­visor, Civil Service counsellor or the legal officer will be glad to assist you in solving personal problems.

New beverage coolers will also

'I···.. be installed at the cost of $2,000.00 to assure a steady supply of cool drinks for everyone.

Once a course of action is de­cided on, the anxiety will fade in­to the background and you will be free to concentrate on the job at hand.

Personal problems often cause inattention to our work, at which time we become vulnerable to making mistakes. A slight mis­take by a skilled worker may mean disaster to himself or fel­low employees. Very few acci­dents- about one out of twenty­are the result of mechanical or structural failure.

Safe Way Is Surest When we get in a hurry we are

p1 one to use "short cuts," and in most cases when personal injury occurs we have failed to use the i:,aiety devices designed and fur­nished for our protection.

An honest desire to meet a deadline or finish the job on time is commendable. When working under pressure or in a hurry we should not neglect our own per­sonal safety. Remember the safe way is the surest, with greatest production.

Falls have caused more seriou& personal injuries than any other cause. Improper lifting is a close second.

Must Be Alert Falls due to loose gravelled

surfaces have caused many pain­ful injuries. Due to the natural terrain and existing road sur­faces, we must be alert to this hazard at all times.

Falls from one level to another have caused several severe in­juries.

When lifting any object keep the back as nearly straight as possible, lift the weight with the leg muscles. If the weight is ex­cessive or the object too bulky get the assistance of a fellow em­ployee.

Based on our past experience here at WSPG, an alert person whose mind is occupied with the job at hand, and who takes no short cuts when in a hurry, is likely to enjoy an accident-free experience.

Conway Places Second In Lejeune Rifle Firing

In a recent letter to Capt. John V. Yelverton, M/Sgt. Francis B. Conway Jr., WSPG rifle expert, stated that he placed second on his team in the competition at Camp Lejeune, N. C.

Conway also said that he was doing his best to make the top four on the rifle team to fire in the National Trophy matches. The deadshot sergeant is now com­peting as a member of the Fourth Army rifle team in the National Rifle and Pistol Championships at Camp Perry, Ohio. The matches end Sept. 7.

October Draft 23.000 WASHINGTON (AFPS) - The

Defense Department has request­ed a quota of 23,000 men for in­duction into the Army during the month of October.

This request, the first since the Korean truce, is the same as the quotas set for July through Sep­tember.

"The renovation work and sup­plies will total approximately $7,000.00," Sgt. Johns stated.

He also pointed out that total expenses will be paid from club­accumulated profits. The sergeant emphasized that the project would be at no expense to the government.

There has been no definite date established for the reopening of the popular gathering place, as the work is subject to disruption in view of other projects having higher priority and necessitating prompt attention.

Guided Missiles Open New Field for Soldier

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (ANF)­Mechanically-minded soldiers are turning their talents in new di­rections at the Army's Redstone Arsenal near here.

At the Ordnance Guided Mis­sile School-the Army's newest service school-they are learning the intricate mechanism of guid­ed missiles and the complex sys­tems which launch and guide these weapons to their targets.

The school, organized in March 1952, is preparing men for jobs in missile repair and maintenance in supply, storage and handling of guided missiles.

Instructors for the 20- to 36-week courses are drawn from the Army Ordnance Corps and Signal Corps because of the maze of electronics involved in these modern scientific weapons re­quires the combined talents and know-how of both these technical services.

Acting as technical advisors to the faculty of the school are a few civilian representatives of in­dustries which are engaged in guided missile research and pro­duction.

* * * * * Magazine Writers Plan Articles About WSPG

White Sands Proving Ground is in line for more publicity in national magazines in the near future.

Members of the editorial staffs of two leading weeklies, The Saturday Evening Post and Collier's, visited WSPG last week to gather background material and other information for feature articles in their respective publications.

Milton Lehman, well known article writer from the staff of The Saturday Evening Post, visit-ed WSPG for four days last week.

Employees Interviewed Preparing to writi! a general

article on the Proving Ground as a whole, Mr. Lehman toured the entire post, interviewed scores of military and civilian employees, witnessed a missile firing and flew over the range in an Army L19 plane.

The 36-year-old writer plans to do a factual article giving as com­plete a picture as possible of the work that is being done here. Covering non-classified phases of the post's activities only, he plans to inject much about the in­dividuals themselves who make up the personnel-telling about the work of those with whom he talked during his visit and of others about whom he was told.

The article is expected to run in the SEP in late September or early October.

Visiting GM Bases James Haggerty, staff writer

for Collier's Magazine, visited the post two days last week. He tour­ed various parts of the installa­tion, flew over the range and in­terviewed a number of persons.

Mr. Haggerty is preparing an article on the national guided missile program. He is visiting guided missile bases in all parts of the country, and will include material gathered at WSPG in the article on the overall missile program.

It is not yet known when the Haggerty article will appear in Collier's.

WSPG of 1970 On the fiction side, a story in

a recent issue· of The Saturday Evening Post was written by a WSPG civilian employee, Harry Stein. Entitled, "The Day the Roc­ket Blew Up," young Stein's story gives his conception of the WSPG of around 1970, when he expects guided missiles to be flown by crews in much the same manner as present-day aircraft are pilot­ed.

New Army Dress Blue Uniform Optional --At Your Own Expense

Army enlisted men can get the blues-if they want them, that is.

The Department of the Army recently granted soldiers the authority to wear the new dress blue uniform which is identical to the authorized formal dress for officers with the exception of in­signia. Possession and wear of the uniform is optional and those procuring the garb will do so at their own expense.

The uniform consists of a dark blue coat and sky blue trousers. Trouser stripes are of gold braid while service stripes and chev­rons are of gold colored nylon or rayon. White gloves and a dark blue cap will be worn with it. Also worn in conjunction with the uniform are a white shirt, black necktie, black shoes and black socks.

Individuals may wear this mili­tary "soup and fish" when at­tending state functions, both home and abroad, when military pesonnel of other nations may be present in dress uniforms, and on other occasions when common usage and good judgment indi­cate.

Regulations governing design and wear of the blue dress uni­form as well as those of the blue mess and eve!Ung dress for male officers, will be published next month.

BE CAREFUL-THAT TYPEWRITER MIGHT BURST INTO FLAME

Don't smoke around your type­writer-it might blow up in your face.

You say, "Why, I've been do­ing it for years and it hasn't blown up yet!" Maybe you've just been lucky. Or maybe you've had sense enough to be extra careful.

Anyway, information contain­ed in a recent safety bulletin in­dicates that smoking around typewriter keyboards can be very dangerous. This is especially true if your typewriter is a Reming­ton, Model 17.

Those machines are equipped with h ighly flammable key tops. If one of the keys is ignited by a dropped match or cigarette ash, it will flash and ignite the others in much the same manner as ni­trate base movie film.

The resulting fire could be serious. It could set fire to cloth­ing or cause flesh burns, in addi­tion to being a building fire hazard.

Nearly all typewriters have flammable keys. Some may flare up more easily than others, like the Remington Model 17. But extreme caution should be ex­ercised in using flame or tobacco products near any typewriter.

EDITORIALS 'Live and Let Live' Is Army's

Slogan for Labor Day Weekend Army installations, including WSPG, are expected to in­

tensify their efforts to reduce the number of accidents involv­ing all personnel of the installations-military, civilian and dependents-over the coming Labor Day week-end.

The holiday period will be a big test of the Army's drive to reduce the number of accidents involving military personnel in privately owned cars on holiday week-ends. With thou­sands on leave or having a long week-end, the slogan for the day will be: "Live and Let Live."

Eliot V. Parker, United States Army Safety Director, points out that two years ago the Army was receiying con­siderable criticism due to the great number of accidents on the highways involving its personnel. He says that today the cooperation of the vast majority of servicemen is payin~ big dividends in helping to control and reduce the largest smgle cause of injury and death in the country.

Mr. Parker adds: "There has been a marked improvement in the last year,

and the excellent progress during the first six months of 1953 continued effective over the Fourth of July holiday.

"But the real test will be during the Labor Day week-end, which can make or break the Army's reoord for the year. We beg, implore and beseech each individual, military or civi~an, and his or her dependents, to TAKE IT EASY on the high­ways. Enjoy not only the week-end but the months to come."

Accidents Work Overtime During Pleasure Travel; Slow Down and Come Home Alive

Pleasure time is no time for accidents and sudden death, but un­fortunately that is when the grim specter works overtime.

On the average week-end about 290 persons are killed and more than 13,600 injured. In a year's time, week-end and holiday casualties climb to the numbing total of 15,000 dead and 750,000 injured, or about 41 per cent of all lives lost annually in traffic accidents.

With a week-end or holiday coming up, families and vacation parties swarm the roads to places of recreation, traffic is congested and driving strain increased- and then the fatal count begins.

Million of good, bad and indifferent drivers speeding, cutting in, weaving, ignoring the rules of courtesy, challenging traffic controls, provide the lethal ingredients for crashing and killing. Add to this the potion of the drinking driver and the mixture is deadly.

When you plan week-end driving be doubly cautious. Try to avoid peak hours of travel and congested routes. Start early, return before ur after the rush. Watch your driving, keep your temper, don't contest the right-of-away--and watch the other driver!

Lives are in your hands. Slow down-take a little longer and bring your family home alive. (Reprinted from The Sod Buster, Sa..: vanna Ordnance Depot).

Congratulations to the softball team, not only for winning the trophy, but for playing their hearts out all summer. That sweat and hustle of those hot practice sessions finally "paid off."

You didn't see these names in the lineup of the last game against Det. 1, but S<:hubert, Sul­livan, Turner, Marginsky Alf, Dillenbeck and Casson did as much to win the trophy as the rest of the team. This group gave the team the depth that helped put them on top.

Anything I mention about the "big nine" is history by this time. "Big Mamu" Matteson, Reese, Fetters, O'Husky, Liss, Ertle, Ball, Zeno and McCarthy are the ones who proved that the under­dog can and often does win. The whole company is proud of the team. Our feeling is expressed in the smile of "old slave driv~r" Dreiling. He's as proud as a pea­cock about "his boys," and has a right to be.

John Dreiling pulled this team up by the shoe laces and pushed it to ultimate victory. He has been cursed more during practice ses­sions than all the umpires dur­ing the games. Both Dreiling and Sgt. Alex Brown have gone all the way to inject the team with that winning spirit.

The team asked this humble reporter to voice their thanks for all that "canned orange juice" donated before, during and after many of the games. Finally from the ardent jaws of the 138th a substantial cheer of "Long live the mobile PX beer truck" still echoes across the boondocks.

* Another highlight in the phy­

sical culture of the 138th was the dramatic result obtained from the Saturday PT test. By compiling the individual scores Lt. Ahl has deduced that the 138th is now "in shape." Lt. Ahl was heard to chuckle as he looked over his cal­culations, "Gadzooks! What a bunch of beach bullies! I can re­member when these men were 97 pound weaklings."

* Botanists and nature boys, at-

tention. Corne to the 138th and thrill to the thorny beauty of our cactus (or should I say cacti) col­lection. We of the 138th don't try to fight the desert and grow grass. We join it and cultivate cactus. What other type of flora could survive in this enchanting environrnen t.

Speaking of survival, a mom­ent's silence for those unsung heroes who survived the White Sands Campaign and are now taking that long journey 'back to the States." To you Frank Kron, Nick Maine, Scotty Sko­zolek, John Bottellio, Ray Goed­de Carmen Recchia, Harvey B;uerle, Wally Brown and Jim Goede, we clink our cans and shout "Stout Fellows" and the best of luck to you out in that cruel civilian world.

* The latest and up to now the

greatest invention employed by our orderly room staff is the loca­tor chart (M4). Sgt. Fetters found inspiration for this unique "Rube Goldberg" in an old Cav­alry Tech Manuel entitled, "How to get more miles per bale out of your hay burner." TM 16-3409. By use of this locator chart the "whips" in the orderly room can determine who's who in the 138th

Veterans of the pre-war Old Army who served in Hawaii will probably wax nostalgic when they see Columbia Picture's screening of From Here To Eter­nity.

The exterior shots for the pic­ture were filmed at Schofield Barracks, with the familiar qua­drangles and Waianae Mountains in the background. Even the uni­forms are pre-war, including the old type stripes, campaign hats and blue fatigues.

All you vets of the Pineapple Army should list this picture as a must.

U.S. Navy's Viking Project Officer Explores Upper Air !~rle Navy's "Viking" rocket is

a1i upper altitude research vehicle (note, not missile).

It carries scientific instru­ments which send back, or bring back, the information about con­ditions 'out there" that is so ne­cessary for the future develop­ment of rockets of any type. The "Viking" holds the altitude re­cord for single' stage rockets­about 135 miles.

Lieutenant Joseph C. Pitts is the officer in charge of the Vik­ing Project. At the age of 27, he has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Naval Science from Georgia Tech, another B. S. in Electrical Engineering from Massachussetts Institute of Techonogy, has man­aged to squeeze in three and one­half years of sea duty. Lt. Pitts sailed on the USS Wisconsin (BB-64) in the Atlantic, the USS Oakland (CLAA-95) in the Pa­cific, and the US C. R. Ware (DD-865) in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. He attended the Army's Guided Missile School, at Ft Bliss before coming to the Naval Facility at White Sands Proving Ground.

Besides being Viking Project Officer, the Lieutenant has other duties. He is a member of the Audit and Inventory Board, the Shore S t a t i o n Development Board, the Recreation Council and the Work Measurement Co­ordinating Board. He is Naval Research Laboratory Project Of­ficer, and National Bureau of Standards Project Officer.

Army Still Has Use For Planes, Pilots

There's still an A in the United States Army that stands for Aviation. ·

Combat in World War II and in the Korean conflict proved the tremendous value of the use of small aircraft by the Army. Today many irreplacable military functions are performed by Army propeller-driven craft and helicopters.

Plans have been used to determine the exact positions of adjoining units, to examine nat-...... ·------------­ural obstacles and to locate the didate School or the Basic Offi­emplacements of the enemy cers' Course. No prior flight ex­forces. To accomplish these ob- perience is necessary. Training is jectives aircraft are assigned to accompiisnea in a nine-month the Infantry, Artillery, Armor, course of instruction conducted Corps of Engineers, Signal Corps at Gary Air Force Base, San Mar­andhTransportation Corps, as well cos, Texas, and at the Army Avi-as t e Medical Service Corps. ation School, Fort Sill, Okla.

Fire Direction The value of using aircraft for

Artillery fire direction has as­sumed tactical importance. An­other example of the use of planes to guide ground activity became apparent during the Ko­rean action. That is, a preponder­ance of observed Artillery fire was directed by observers flying in the small L-5's and L-19's.

Upon graduation the Army avi-ator receives his wings. This sym­bol of flight is one of gallant Army aviation traditions of the past, but also a symbol that will give direction to the Army of the future.

As a bonus for incentive, pilots teceive additional flight duty pay.

Additional information on ap­plications and training is avail­able Irom Maj. R. T. Blair, Avia­tion Division, Fourth Army, Fort Sam Houston, Tex.; Capt. Joseph W. Bowler, Medical Field Service School, Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Tex.; and Fourth Army Flight Section, Brooks Air Force Base, Tex.

IRed+Cross J News & Notes

By John P. Sydor

As a result of the cessation of hostilities in Korea and the low­ered requirements for blood deri­va tives, the American Red Cross is closing'; on August 31, fifteen of its defense blood collection cen­ters, and also is terminating con­tracts with seventeen cooperating community blood banks which have served as collection centers for the National Blood program.

In making this announcement the ODM pointed out that the re­mammg defense requirements would need to be met by the 45 Red Cross regional blood centers (WSPG and Las Cruces are in the Tucson regional blood center) and the approximately 1,500 co­operating chapters who will con­tinue defense collections.

•••••• The basic Red Cross civilian

blood program in those areas served by our regional centers is in no way affected by the changes announced by the ODM. Further, the need for blood in the areas curently served by the com­munity and hospital blood banks will remain at a high level. It is recognized that with advances in medicine and surgery and in the science of the uses of blood that there is an ever-increasing need for whole blood to save human lives.

In addition, according to medi­cal authorities, we are only in the first stage of new and important uses for blood derivatives. The end of the shooting in Korea has reduced the quantity of blood re­quired for the armed forces, but it does not in any way lessen the great need for this precious fluid for other useful purposes.

•••••• The remaining requirements

for defense bloods will be met by Red Cross regional centers, (Tucson regional blood center will continue with collection of blood), who will adjust defense lblood production consistent with reduced requirements.

Over 140,000 missions were flown in the Korean war. Aiding the Artillery in blasting enemy fortifications was not the only use of Army aircraft. In addition, there were Administrative flights that carried vital supplies and also acted as military couriers as well as a rapid means of trans­porting important personages to and from the fighting fronts. Army airplanes also made front line reconnaissance flights col­lecting information and taking vital photographs, increasing the knowledge of ground force com­manders and thereby enabling more secure troop movement. Evacuation flights were also im­portant actions of Army aviators.

Helicopters were able to go places that even the jeep with all its ruggedness could not go. The helicopter was seldom stop­ped.

Evacuation was not the only purpose of these "Egg Beaters." They supplied the front lines with whole blood, plasma and medical supplies. The speed and versa­tility by which its missions were accomplished were factors in sav­ing the lives of many soldiers.

Rockets Beat Ft. Sam, Lose to Ft. Sill • 1n 4th Army Tourney Perkins Fields, Hits WSPG To Win; Hits Scarce in Loss

The White Sands baseball entry in the 4th Army tourna­ment at San Antonio surprised the majority of the critics in getting through four days of tourney play without a loss. Of course, they only pLllyed one game; and that was a 10 to 8 victory-over the host team, Ft. Sam Houston Rangers.

Playing the feature contest of a four game opening slate, the Rockets wasted no time in vaulting to an early lead. Bill Sullivan's 1st inning single to~ center brought in the first two they held the Cannoneers' scor­runs.

White Sands picked up another in the 3rd, but this lead was lost when Ft. Sam came to life in the 4th and 5th frames to score a to­tal of six runs.

The White Sands Rockets found the slants of Sandia hurler Jack Nichols too tough for them as they bowed be­fore the Sandia nine, 4 to 1. Once again the Rockets failed to muster that old time power at the plate. Outside of infielder Billy Perkins' double to left driv­ing in the only run, White Sands could not capitalize on their six hits and sixe walks.

QUANTICO, Va. (AFPS)­Quantico Marines came up a surprise speedball art ist to p quelch their West Coast r ival San Diego MCRD team in three straight games in the East-West playoffs for the Corps champion­ship.

Roger Osenbaugh came in to save the first game in the ninth inning and give Quantico an 8-7 win. He came back in the final game of the 3-out-of-5 series for a five-hit 5-2 victory. Quantico outsluged the Depot team 9-4 in the second game.

In winning, Quantico inherited most privileges for the All-Serv­ice Baseball Tournament, Sept. 18-19, when the champs of the Army, Navy and Air Force will tangle with Quantico for to a­tional service team honors.

The better pitching perform­ance was by Rocket hurler Frank Metully as he allowed five hits and one earned run. In just about his best mound job of the season, Metuly pitched himself out of several scrapes where Sandia had men posted on 2nd and 3rd bases with one out and failed to score.

Perkins Hils 3 Run Homer A few fieldmg gems, particu­

larly m the infield, provided the impetus for the late mrung rallies wrucn saw the Rockets come 1rom benmd twice to record the nme hit victory.

'l'ra11mg 6 to 3 in the 5th inning. the .ltocKets capita11zed on four walks and several pass balls in settmg up their five run rally.

umue1aer Jim Jones led off the bottom of the 5t..l with a walk. Then two more successive passes to Hudak and Lathuras loaded the bases. Jones then scampered home on a pass ball and a walk to Shaw, the fourth straight of the innmg, again filled the sacks.

After ~impson's long fly to cen­ter scored Hudak, Billy Perkins then parked a curve bail over the right field wall driving in three more markers as the sandmen took an 8 to 6 lead.

'Ule Rangers again came back to tie it up in the top of the 8th frame. In the bottom half, Bill Sullivan once more lowered the boom by driving across the final and winning runs for the Rockets.

Fi. Sill-12. WSPG-1 Advancement into the winners'

bracket netted the Rockets a d,ay off. The following day's washoµt due to rain just prolonged the agony as the Ft. Sill C'annoneers outclassed the Rockets 12 to 1 in their second game. But for a few tough breaks, the Rockets might have been slaughtered. At least

Starting pitcher Dick Bergquist was more or less the victim of •errible fielding support; quite an about face in view of their ex­cellent defensive play against Ft. .::>am Houston. The ball just seem­ed to turn to butter, particularly in the seven run 1st inning when the Rockets committed four of their seven errors. TOURNAMENT BOX SCORES:

Martin Engel, New York Pio­neer Club, topped British and American AAU records with a 188-Ft., 9-in. hammer throw in London this month as tracksters of the U. S. touring delegation captured a total of 10 firsts in the 15-event affair.

In the main showpiece Wes Santee, USMCR, University of Kansas, ran second to Britisher Gordon Pirie, with 4: 06.8, in the mile run.

Ex-Air Force Sgt. Mal Whit­field took the 880-yd. run in 1:51.8. Ronald Sobel, U.S. Army, placed fifth in the broad jump and was the only American serv­iceman to score.

Santee, who bettered the Am­erican record for the 1,500-meter run in Goteburg, Sweden, July 23, with 3: 44.2, suffered his sec­ond defeat on the European tour.

TOURNAMENT STATISTICS

Despite finishing sixth in a field of the ten top teams of the 4th Army area, the White Sands Rockets were pitifully weak at the plate as evidenced by their .209 team batting average.

Only Perkins, Adams and Simpson upheld their end in the hitting department as nearly half of the squad failed to hit safely during the three games.

A key infield miscue opened the gates to a heartbreaking 6th inning. Sandia breathed a sigh of relief in getting all of their four runs in that inning right on a sil­ver platter. A double play muff ruined Metully's bid for a shut­out victory as Sandia Base, baf­fled once before in a like manner during a four inning relief stint, could do nothing against Metul­ly's knuckle balling slants in col­lecting but five well scattered hits.

This loss to Sandia eliminated the Rockets from the tournament with a record of one win and two losses in competition with the ten top teams of the 4th Army area. THE BOX SCORE:

Safety-Paze (Editor's note: The following

driver's tips have been reprint­ed from the Fort Jackson Jour­nal.)

••• What do you do if your car

starts to skid? If oncoming lights blind you? If you have a blow­out? If your car catches fire? Here are some tips that may save your life in an emergency:

For a skid, turn your wheels slightly in the SAME direction the rear end of your car is skid­ding. This should straighten you out. Too great a turn throws you into an opposite skid.

Maintain an even speed and keep your car in gear; shift smoothly into second to allow your car to act as a brake. DON'T jam on the brakes.

••• Blinding headlights can mean

trouble. Don't look directly at them. Instead keep your eyes fo­cused on the curb or edge of the road. Reduce speed immediately. Flick your lights a few times to signal an oncoming driver to dim his lights.

If the other driver does not comply, don't shine your brights in his eyes 't'o get even." If you blind him, he may run into you.

••• For a blowout, first get your

car under control. Grip the steer­ing wheel hard, and keep the car going as straight as possible. Keep your foot on the gas and speed up slightly. Then gently apply brakes. .....

For a car fire, first shut off the ignition. This keeps the fan from feding air to the fire, and pre­vents gas from entering the en­gine. Also it stops the fire which might possibly start in the igni­tion system.

Then get everyone out of the car. If possible, call the fire de­partment. Use a fire extinguisher if you have one-or whatever is available. Water, sand, dirt, or a blanket wil help. Keep your back to the wind.

Fight fire closest to the gas tank first, but get away-fast-if flames are around the tank. ....

Knowing what to do when there is trouble may mean the difference between a safe driver and a hospitalized driver.

Presumption of service-connec­tion for dental conditions which appear within a year after dis­charge or separation from service has been eliminated and new eligibility resuirements for out­patient dental care for veterans have been set up under Public Law 149, 83rd Congress, Veterans Administration announced.

It may seem a trifle odd to write a column on boating in the arid region of ''The Land of En­chantment." However, the fact remains that many persons at WSPG and in adjoining commun­ities are avid boating fans. Ele­phant Butte, Caballo and Percha dams to mention a few spots, of­fer almost unlimited opportuni­ties or the "water-bugs" to put their small craft through their paces.

Boating is one of the most en­joyable outdoor sports we have. It also has led to many tragedies which should never have occur­red. Carelessness on the water is inexcusable. Many lives have ·been lost because people either forgot, or ignored, that valuable item commonly known as a life preserver.

Boat cushions are also handy

The Army helped build the first roads and canals in the United States. Army engineers and cavalrymen played a major role in surveying and building the route of the Union Pacific, the first railroad in the world to span a continent and join two oceans.

as adequate life preservers in event of mishap. Craft owners should regard them as a definite "must" and keep them in the boat at all times when on the water (either life preserver or cushion).

Panic also accounts for many lost lives. Practically all wooden boats will float even when filled with water. Many have gone to a watery grave due to ignorance of this fact or blind panic which prompts them to attempt swim­ming to shore.

Even the smallest craft is cap­able of keepillg two or three per­sons afloat if accidentally capsiz­ed. Naturally it will not do so if the occupants remain "on board." When it is apparent that the boat is definitely sinking, it is the smart thing for the occupants to go overboard and cling to the sides of the skiff. This method is not infallible in all cases, but it is successful in the majority of ac­cidents with wooden craft.

NAVY I was sitting around the back

end of the Navy Club one evening last week, smoking and admiring the sunset. Along came "Guns" Gunner, thirsty as usual. He had water. I had the same as before.

We watched the sunset for a while longer. He looked troubled, and I could tell that he had some­thing on his mind, so I just wait­ed until he felt like talking.

"Mac," said he, finally, "this Navy is changing. There was a time when a K-9 was appre­ciated."

"What happened?" I asked him. "You were pretty happy the last time I saw you. No more free loading at the Navy Club?" . "It isn't that," said Guns, "it's J1:1st that people don't pay atten­tion when I try to tell them any­thing. They forget that all good K-9s have a sixth sense, what humans call 'premonition' and don't believe in, usually. '

"You weren't here at the time but I suppose you have heard about the oil stove explosion in the Navy barracks--the wooden ba~racks they had before they built the building that they are in now?"

I admitted that I hadn't. "Well," he went on, "they had these oil stoves, and used to light them in the evenings when it started to get chilly. This one evening that I am telling you about, I got that peculiar feeling that something was going to happen. It always pays to follow up on my hunches, so I checked around and discover­ed a slow leak in the stove, just enough oil coming down to make "' dangerous vapor condition. I al­•• wst had a fit when I saw that they were going to light it any­way, but they paid no attention. The stove door blew off, and one man got burned. Afterwards they knew that I was right, trying to warn them, but afierwards is too late."

"Do you have these 'premoni­tions' very often?" I asked.

"I do, and I almost wish that I didn't if they aren't going to listen to me," he said, bitterly. "For instance, this very sad mo­torcycle accident that we just had. For months I tried to tell you people about that, and you all thought that I just didn't like the noise. As a matter of fact, I don't like motorcycles - noisy, smelly, dangerous things--but it wasn't that. I just knew. And every time I saw that motorcycle I sounded off, if you remember."

I reminded Guns that he hadn't said anything definite about an accident.

"Nobody can tell the future ex­actly," he said. "All I can do is pass a warning. But dogs can see things that people can't. I am still going to keep up my campaign against motorcycles. Scooters, too -if anything goes wrong with either one, the driver has no pro­tection around him. Instead of denting a fender he dents a knee cap, or worse.

"And jeeps-I'm beginning to take a dim view of them. They tip over too easily. Instead of sit­ting in them, you are sitting on them, and the more passengers you have, the more top-heavy they get. Whenever I ride in a jeep I keep a pretty close watch on the driver. Give me a recon­aissance car. Theer you've got protection, softer cushions, better visibility. I can spot a rabbit twice as far from one of them as I can from a jeep."

"How are you fixed for pre­monitions lately?" I asked

"T1'Slt's what is bothering me. I've got one, but I haven't been able to identify it. Seems like it may have some connection with Highway 80, which a three lane deal, and very dangerous. But who it'll be, I don't know, yet.

"You know, your recreation and entertainment people can help out and let me sleep better at night. If there are enough inter­esting things going on at this sta­tion, there won't be so many people wanting to go roaring down to Juarez at ninety miles an hour."

considerable excitement this week during the "big move" from N-27 to N-28. I never realized we had so many SUPERMEN in the division. (At least everyone has been groaning about their back aching.)

One could readily recognize the "old-timers." They were excel­lent in giving instructions, but kept at a safe distance. The Wire and Control Sections are now combined in N-27.

Cottler are getting to be real fishermen. Ernie seems to have a knack for catching trout under the size limit. (We understand he had to pry the hook from the mouth of his last catch.) And Dudley's line is continually foul­ed up. (Either in a tree or on bot­tom.)

They even chose a lovely, rainy weekend. What their wives must go through! ! ! !

Nettie and Johnny Foresman are spending a short vacation in Oklahoma this week. As the old saying goes, "You can take a gal out of Oklahoma, but you can't take the Oakie out of a gal."

Henry Forest informed me that he has finally outwitted Helen Tucker. He hides his lunch be­fore she has a chance to see it. It seems Helen's lunch usually disappears around 10:001 ! ! I

Farewell Message· From Gen. Collins

The following message has been received at WSPG from Gen. J . Lawton Collins, retir­ing Chief of Staff:

"To the men and women of the Army:

"I cannot complete my tour as as Chief of Staff without paying heartfelt tribute to you, the men and women of the Army, military and civilian alike, for your loyalty, sacrifice and constant devotion to duty.

"During the past four years your splendid achievements have enabled the Army to meet unprecedented responsibilities in a superb way. Fighting a war in peacetime on a battlefield more than 5,000 miles from home while at the same time building our strength to deter new aggressions elsewhere or to repel them if necessary, re­quired unprecedented effort.

"Korea has already become one of the finest chapters in our military history. Beginning that day three years ago at the little village of Osan, where American soldiers stood fast against odds as great as 30 to 1, the story of fighting in Ko­rea was a story of daily hard­ship, determination and valor. The Eighty Army, reorganized and rotated three times in the face of the enemy, will live in history as the first United Nations fighting force and as

one of the invincible armies of all time. All this would have been impossible without the magnificent response not only of our Regular Army but of our National Guard and Organized Reserves who have added new brilliance to their citizen-sol­dier tradition.

"In Europe and in scattered distant outposts, you have been helping our partners man the defenses of the free w orld against the possible new threat of militant, imperialistic com­munism. Here at home, you have utilized our Nation 's tre­mendous industrial capadty and scientific genius to make you the best fed, best clothed, best equipped soldier in the world today, and also to mul­tiply your firepower and mobi­lity for the possible battlefields of tomorrow.

"To every man and woman, wherever you are, I wan t you to know that I have been proud to serve with you in our great Army. And I am sure you join with me in paying homage to those of our fellow soldiers who have made t he supreme sacri­fice in action in Korea. They embody the spirit and p atrio­tism by which the Army has always defended our nation, expressed in the words 'Du ty, Honor, Country.'

(Signed) "J. Lawton Collins"

Korean Truce Only First Step~ Secy. Stevens Says

The end of the fighting in Korea is only the first big s t ep in the establishment of peace there, Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens said in a message to all troops received a t WSPG last week.

Many grave and complicated problems remain to be set­tled, the Army Secretary added. This will take time-how much time no one can say with certainty.

He continued: w--------------"The Korean truce raises an

immediate and natural question for most soldiers: How will the truce affect me? You will be reading, discussing and thinking about this question. While doing so it will be important to keep in mind the following central facts.

"1. Establishment of peace and security in Korea will include re­pairing the havoc of three years of war, and the maintenance of sufiicient military strength to deter any renewal of communist aggr ession in that area. United

18-Month Minimum Is Set for ZI Tours Of RA Enlisted Men

WASHINGTON (AFPS) ­A new plan to stabilize the tours of duty for Army enlist­ed personnel returning to the continental U. S. from over-

States and other United Nations seas service has been an­Forces in Korea will therefore continue, for an indefinite period, to perform vitally important du­ties relating to the truce agree­ments and to other United Na­tions responsibilities.

"2. Our t raining establishments in the United States must con­tinue to produce a steady and a dequate flow of trained replace­m ents for soldiers completing their tours of duty in Korea and elsewhere. Only in this way can the Army achieve equitable dis­tribution of oversea and domestic tours of duty and still perform its many throughout the world.

"3. Although we hope and pray that further hostilities in Korea will not occur, Korea remains one of the critical areas of world ten­sion. As in all such areas, the ef­f ectiveness of our troops in help­ing to keep the peace will depend primar ily upon their soldierly qualities, individual and collec­tive. For this r eason, regardless of the varying non-combat duties to which they may be assigned, a ll troops in Korea and elsewhere must continue to maintain the highest standards of combat r eadiness.''
