New Navy Secretary Greets All Personel

One of my first official duties after t aking the oath of office as Secretary of the Navy earlier today (25 January) is the pleasant one of greeting the fine men and women of the service and civilian employees who have made our Navy and Marine Corps the best in the world .

Everywhere on this t r 0 u b led globe you are daily demonstrating that a key part of the free world's strength lies in its sea power.

The presence of our striking flee ts on the high seas, the very existence of our Polaris submarines deployed beneath those waters and the supporting activities afloat and ashore, all combine to guard the freedom of the seas from potential aggressors. In addition to being a ready combat force, you -are good-will ambassadors to the free countries of the world. Your feats of rescue and assistance and humanitarian acts are well known to all.

I look forward with antIcIpation to partIcIpating as part of our strong Navy-Marine Corps team in the events of the future. I am confident that this team will continue to be a major part of our defense structure and that the strength of our effort will always depend upon the spirit, willingness and determina tion of our personnel.

I am sure the entire Navy and Marine Corps join me in congratulating Secretary Franke on the completion of such a successful career and in wishing him every success in the future.

JOHN B. CoNNALLY Secretary of the Navy

Community Council Speaks In this community, just as 10 other com mum ties this size, there

Twelve committees made up of civic-minded citizens are being organized to help you who have problemS'. Their function is to consider p rob lem s brought to their attention before they arc presentcd to the Board in order to obtain full information and make rccommendations for action.

J. H. JENNISON

Tape of Speech Offered for loa n

The newest program to be added to the Speakers' Bu­reau is a one-hour tape re­cording on "W hat \Ve Learned About America From the Communists."

The talk was originally given by a u. S. Army Psychologist, and is based on information gained from Americans returning from Korea where they were prisoners for sev­era l years. Similar presentations have been given as part of the Navy's moral leadership program.

The ta lk covers how the prisoners were treated, methods used in their "brainwashing," and earlier train­ing in lire which led to their be­havior under those conditions.

The program should be of particu­lar inte~ to sehoo18 and 8Crvice clubs, says Mrs. Nova Semeyn, Co­ordinator of the Speakers' Bureau.

The tape, and a recording machine if required, is available for loan from the Presentations 0 f f ice, Pl903. However, members of the Spea ke rs' Burea u and other em­ployees should make reservations well ahead of their scheduled pro­gram as it is expected that the tape will be quite popular and out on loan much of the time.

H e says: "Probably, the prestres· sing forces, which total 134,000 tons, a re greater than have ever befo{"f~ been applied to a single structura l member." By way of comparison, this is nearly three times the stan­dard dis placement of the battleship :Missouri (45.000 tons ).
