Holloman Is Declared Permanent Activity

Confirmation of the perman­ency of Holloman Air Force Base has been finally announced through the office of Senator Clinton P. Anderson.

The telegram containing the press release came ... from Claude E. Wood, in Washington, admin­istrative assistant to Senator An­derson.

The telegram read: "Just ad­vised by Air Force that Holloman Air Force Base made permanent installation."

The declaration, it is believed, will establish Holloman activity permanently in the long-range plans of the Air Force, just as Ft. Bliss, a permanent Army install­ation, is included in the continu­ing program of the Army.

The declaration also will give military authorities and Alamo­gordo's civic authorities a basis for long-range planning, and as­surances of economy that could not come without the declaration.

Likewise, commercial expan­sion in Alamogordo and sur­rounding communities w ill be with an assurance of the future that would not otherwise be pos­sible.

Don't Let Up in Your Observance of Security

AN EDITORIAL White Sands Proving Ground and other vital defense in­

stallations have continued to expand and become more im­portant in the nation's defense pattern.

With such expansion the serious need for continued rigid security measures becomes increasingly critical to safeguard America's secrets.

Brig. Gen. G. G. Eddy, Commanding General of WSPG, reiterated this point in a recent conference and has again directed there must be no letup in strict observance of security measures surrounding classified programs on this post.

Reams have been written about security, its importance to the nation's welfare, and means of preventing vital in­formation leaks to a potential enemy. But all too often security is regar ded as something that applies to someone else. "I don 't know any secret information," is the first thought of the care­less worker.

T he E nemy Knows Its Importance

Lack of understanding of the why's of security probab ly cr eates more inform ation leaks than the less-likely possibility of deliberate efforts to r elease unauthorized information.

Such lack of u nderstanding is reflected in most cases by t he defense installation employee whose att itude is "I have no information which, if released, could be considered a threat to national security."

That may be t rue, b ut in many instances the individu al is ignorant of the true importance of a scrap of information h e may possess. Be assured t h e listening enemy who p lans to make use of that information has made himself aware of its importance.

Security laxity works exactly the same as back-fence gos­sip. It grows and grows and grows.

El Paso Scouts Plan Visit of Post Sunday

A contingent of 12 El Paso Boy Scouts wil visit White Sands Proving Ground Sunday after­noon. The boys will be accompan­ied by their scoutmaster, Mr. J. Bernstien.

The troop will receive a con­ducted tour of all unclassified buildings and installations on the post. Maj. E. A. James and Cpl. Charles McGivern will act as guides.

The scouts are members of an Air Explorer Squadron of the Senior Scouts in El Paso.

Post Engineers' Tasks Comparable to Municipal Utility Firm's Operation

The Post Engineer Division of White Sands Proving Ground j provides a variety of services to the pest that may well be com­pared to municipal utility ser­vices of a civilian city.

The twelve shops service hun­dreds of miles of lines for electri­city, water, gas and seweragge; maintenance and repair of build­ings, roads, parking areas and provide fire protection for the post and missile firings. I

The shops maintain and service 78 Army housing units in addition to the barracks and other build­ings in the cantonment area.

With the activation of Oscura 1

Range Camp in 1952 and the entire integrated range, the Post Engineers service more than 908 miles of roads. This is a distance greater than the road milage be­tween El Paso and Los Angeles.

Grew from Desert In 1945, when the post was acti­

vated, there were no roads and no water system. Water had to be hauled, in barrels, from the Cox ran<ih well near the main gate . There were only a few huaments with a tent for a mess hall. The tent was located in the rear of what is now Headquarters Build­ing.

The circle terrace, in front of the Headquarters Building was the site of a temporary power plant and motor pool. Several old CCC type buildings were disman­tled at Sandia Base, N.M. and re­erected at White Sands Proving Ground. These buildings consis­ted of what is today the old head­quarters building, "H" building, Kings Row, Officers Club and the

By itself, it is worthless. But it will not remain by itself. Such remnants of information from varied sources merge like droplets of water. Shortly there is a puddle, then a pool, then a river of information flowing to the listening enemy as a direct result of your carelessness.

Although you unwittingly and dangerously contributed to his knowledge of classified material, you are lulled into a false sense of innocence of a security violation as a result of ignorance of the true value of the meager information you possessed.

The simple rule, then, is if you discuss your work, the post or its mission, or other information concerning this installa­tion, be sure the person receiving such information is author­ized to have it.

There are other ways of violating security regulations and each of them stems directly from carelessness and thought­lessness. Open files, unlocked safes and forgotten papers, photographs and drawings-each contributes to a greater security risk.

Be security-conscious at all times. The tiny scrap of in­formation you prevent from falling into unauthorized hands may be the vital link in an otherwise unbroken chain of in­formation permitting a potential enemy an insight into America's defense plans.

Keep that link missing.

TIPS ON THE TONGUE (While on the subject of security, here's a timely poem of

origin unknown, but which certainly applies to security in every way. We don't know what the writer had in mind when he compiled these proverbs, but he unknowingly created a poem of importance to every worker at White Sands Proving Ground and those at every similar defense post in the nation.)

Wise men throughout the centuries have dwelt on the importance of controlling the tongue, and the havoc wrought by undisciplined speech. The "Joseph­inum" offers some variations on the theme in the form of verse:

"The boneless tongue so small and weak can crush and kill,'' declares the Greek.

"The tongue destroys a greater horde,'' the Turk asserts, "than does the sword."

The Persian proverb wisely saith: "A lengthy tongue, an early death."

Or sometimes takes this form instead: "Don't let your tongue cut off your head."

"The tongue can speak a word whose speed," says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed."

While Arab sages this impart: "The tongue's great store­house is the heart."

From Hebrew wit this maxim sprung: "Though feet should slip, ne'er let the tongue."

The sacred writer crowns the whole: "Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul."

If You Follow Safety Rules in Hunting, You'll Be Back Alive If Not Successful

Here are some safety rules to observe when you enter hunting areas with firearms this season. Although these rules apply strict­ly to the use of weapons, two other safety rules are musts for the hunting season, too.

They are: Drive carefully to

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111n111

and from the hunting area, and be careful with fire in the tinder­dry forest areas. When you ar­rive at the hunting grounds, fol­low these ten safety points, and you'll return safe if not success­ful. Good hunting!

1. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. This is the first rule of fire­arm safety. 2. Guns carried into camp or

otherwise not in use must always be unloaded.

3. Always be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstruc­tions and that you are supplied with the proper ammunition to fit the weapon you are carrying.

..4. Always carry your gun so you are able to control the

to vehicles following or being met; everyone likes a good guess­ing game.

3. Always pass a car in the "No passing zone;" you will be an in­dividual in your decision and therefore save more time.

4. An extra five or ten miles added to the post speed limit while driving will not be noticed; it will show the MPs that you are a man with pep and daring.

5. Red always attracts, whether worn by a woman or a truck; get close to vehicles displaying red flags and symbols for it breaks the monotony of the explosive vehicle operator's job to be sur­prised once in a whole.

6. Never report an accident or personal injury to the proper au­thorities; everyone loves a mys­tery and the authorities are only human.

7. Drive recklessly, jockey in traffic and pass vehicles slowed down for gate clearance; your serpentine driving will lend an artistic pattern to the routine driving on the post.

8. Never look to the right or left when crossing a railroad track; your wife or husband will enjoy spending your life insurance premium, maybe with another mate.

9. Always park within five feet of a fire plug; in case of fire you won't have so far to go for water.

10. Drive confidently without knowledge or study of WSPG Motor Vehicle Operator's rules and regulations; leave the study to other drivers on the Proving Ground-they will know enough to give you the right of way.

aim of the muzzle, even if you stumble. Keep your wea­pon on 'safe" until you are ready to shoot. 5. Be sure of your target before

you pull the trigger. Know the identifying features of the game you plan to shoot.

6. Never point a gun at any­thing you don't mean to shoot and kill. Horseplay with fire­arms in a hunting camp is murder. ' 7. Unattended guns should be

stored with ammunition separ­ately. Be sure to keep both out of reach of children.

8. Never climb a tree, crawl through a fence or jump a ditch with a loaded gun, and don't ever pull a gun through a fence with the muzzle pointed :toward you.

9. Never shoot toward a flat, hard surface cc the surface of water. Ricochets are as deadly ai;: a direct hit.

10. Avoid use of intoxicants prior to or during shooting. Alcohol doesn't mix any bet­ter with gunpowder than it does with gasoline. If you do get your deer this

year, when you strap him on the hood of your car for all to see, make sure that you, too, can see-­the road ahead.

One last word. If you get lost, try firing three successive shots from your rifle when you believe someone is within hearing dis­tance. Above all, Don't get in a panic. As soon as you're missed someone will be looking for you.

Yuletide Holiday Leave ~chedule For Military Announced by Army

$100,000 SCHOLARSHIP

WASHING TON (AFPS) - Ac­cording to an Air Force official, Lt. Noh Kuen Suk, the North Korean pilot who delivered his MIG to American forces, is plan­All training, except basic train-~-----------~­

ing, at Army installations in the United States will be suspended during the holiday period from 8: 00 a. m. Dec. 21, 1953, to 8: 00 a. m., Jan. 4, 1954, the Department of the Army announced today.

Basic training must be continu­ed to enable the Army to meet its commitments, it was stated.

During this holiday period, leave will be granted to the maximum possible number of eligible military p e r s o n n e 1. Normally, about half of the eli­gible personnel will be able to take leave over Christmas and the remaindei over New Year's Day.

Basic Continues

Because of existing require­ments for an uninterrupted flow of trained replacements to over­seas commands, any suspension of basic training during the holi­day period is not feasible, the Army said.

However, commanders are au­thorized to readjust their basic training schedules to permit short leaves for trainees otherwise not eligible, providing such action does not extend the basic training cycle as presently scheduled.

In line with this policy, where necessary, leave in advance of accrued leave credits may be granted. Similarly, commanders may accelerate schedules in those cases where trainee groups are nearing completion of training cycles. This would permit the personnel concerned to commence their two-week mid or post basic training leave before Christmas

ar New Year's Day, as the case ning to enter college in the U.S. may be. The $100,000 reward will be set

WASHINGTON (AF P S)-Pa­tients in Army hospitals won't have to wonder what the ward­boy's name is an ym ore.

The Army Medical Service is making the wearing of identi­fication b adges compulsory . From now on military and civi­lian personnel attending pa· tients in Army hosp itals will wear the dark russet leather ID badges.

SEOUL (ANF) - Twenty-eight American soldier s st ationed near here are pioneering a new f ield for the Army.

They are member s of the 150th Transportation Car go Helicopter Field Ma intenance Detachment, on e of the f irst un its of its k in d in th e Army .

Although the unit is less than a year old, it has man-sized re­sponsibilities. Charged with re­pa iring and main taining helicop­ters for the Sixth Transpor t ation Helicop ter Com pany, it is respon­sible for more than $4,000,000 worth of equipment-21 H-19 Helicop ters and two H-13's.

Thoroughly t r ained in heli­copter main tenance, the soldier­mech an ics do every kind of "chopper" fixing-from major in­stallation of assemblies on the 'copters to painting 25-foot rotor blades.

Post Signal. Scoop

By Olive S. While

There's nothing like being away for a few days for produc­ing news. We found Mrs. Doppler departed from the switchboard and Mrs. Kendall has taken her place. Mrs. Collins is back on the job, looking well and rested and giving the switchboard room its usual air of permanence.

Post Signal personnel was posed a real problem last Wed­nesday. A skunk. in the course of his nightly prowling. unwise­ly slipped into an open man­hole. After considerable bud· dling, various suggestions and no volunteers, the fire depart­ment was called on to bring up a hose with a nice. power­ful stream of water. This kepi ihe woodski:tty so busy he for­got :to express displeasure in the usual manner and, when floated. perforce. to the top, a quick dispatch was accomplish­ed. Versatile people, the Post Signal outfit.

It was a real lift to Administra­tive moral to see Mrs. Glenda Norsworthy at a desk, relieving the too-long strain of tripled work in that section. With her husband, she lives in Mesilla Park.

Sgt. Vedros, who has been in charge of ComCenter, was dis­charged this last week, and left joyfully for home in Alabama. Cpl. Field carries on in his place, or will when he comes down to earth again-he has acquired a new Buick.

Sgt. Sumrall continues to make himself invaluable. Old files have been sorted, dead material clear­ed out. Bills were all typed for telephones and the work orders continue to flow to installers without delay. If he never did another thing, we'd be eternally grateful for what has already been accomplished.

Overheard: 1st G. I." You say an MP picked him up?" 2nd G. I.: "I sure did,'' 1st G. I. "Was he wearing a bras­siere?" 2nd G. I. loudly, over shrieks of laughter, "I would­n't know!" We decided, after partial recovery, that the w o r d s h o u l d have been "brassard."

NAVY In place of writing the usual

column this week I am going to give a rundown on a subject that 1s cf interest to all : "Huntin' n' Fishin." In fact if I am urged I l1ight do a weekly report on nunting and fishing for the Navy. .. . .

D EE R HUNTING- At noon Sat­urday, Nov. 7, the New Mexico Jeer hunting seasons opens and ,his season should mark a new '1igh in deer kills for local Nim­:ods.

Wit h the opening of the north part of the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, heretofore closed for the last seven years, will offer the best stocked hunting area in the state. The Provost Marshal advises that state game wardens have declared the area over­~tocked; that deer are dying of Jld age and t hat the range i being over-grazed.

Rt·member you must have your New Mexico hunting license marked with the Provost Marsh­al's signature of approval to hunt in the area. Also be sure to check ,n at the designated checking sta­tions as shown in the WIND & SAND of October 22.

At this date hunting is at the peak of the season from Nov. 7 to Nov. 18; ducks and geese from Oct. 31st (noon) to Dec. 29th; and quail to be announced in Decem­ber.

Don't forget to get your Migra­tory Bird Hunting Stamp if you intend to hunt ducks or geese. They can be purchased for $2.00 at the WSPG Post Office .

• • • FISHING-Bass fishing is ex­

cellent at Caballo, both above and below the dam, and at Elephant Bu tte. It is very poor at Perche Dam as the water is too low. I say excellent but I want to add that you have to work hard for them. Live bait fishing is slow because of shad minnows. Spin­casting with Godart spinners and Abu spinners are most effective with a thin strip of pork rind. In fact any good action spinner with a pork rind trailing is a bass getter. They take to it like a sol­dier to the Kinsey Report! At this time of the season bass are feed­ing in shallow water, 2 to 4 feet in depth during the morning and in the deep holes in the after­noon. Cast your lure cross stream and make a slow return with plenty of action in the rod move­ment.

Plug casters will find the Ha­waiian Wiggler and the Bomba about the best in these waters. Fly fishing is good with surface bugs and Colorado spinners.

Top honors for this year's trout fishing goes to Lt. Rezner. He caught the largest trout that I have seen caught in the state this year-close to Alto, N.M. on a Flatbush.

The Navy Public Information Officer will send into the Fleet Home Town Release Bureau all pictures of Navy Personnel with deer kills that are turned into him. It will be necessary that you have a good picture, two prints and the negative. Let's tell t he folks back home about your kill.

By Pfc. Henry Muszynski

Det. 3 has been saddened by the news that it will soon lose its C. 0., 1st Lt. Richard H. Clark. Lt. Clark has received orders to attend Spartan School at Tulsa. Det. 3 has been blessed .with ex­.:ellent C.O.'s and Lt. Clark has most certainly not been the ex­ception. Lt. Clark will be sorely missed not only as C. 0. but also as a splendid maintenance officer, excellent pilot, and a gentleman. Though Det. 3 is losing a fine of­ficer in Lt. Clark we are gaining an equally fine officer in the per­son of Capt. John H. Gray who will replace Lt. Clark as Com­manding Officer.

Comes fall and a young man's fancy turns to school. Pvts. Kelly and Kaiser will attend the civilian air frame school at Spartan, Okla. PFC. Don Davis will endeavor to learn the functions of a helicop­ter at Ft. Sill, Okla.

Probably the most underrated member of Det. 3 is Pfc. Ralph Greco. Among the duties per­formed by Ralph are performing maintenance inspections, mail clerk, and errand boy for the sup­ply room, orderly rooms, etc. In recognition of such unheralded deeds Ralph I hereby present you with the "Purple Shaft."

Pfc. Don Davis has been wear­ing a sport shirt that is just about as loud as the post siren.

Pvt. Ted Krein has taken leave to get married in Dakota. What some people won't do to get out of K.P.?????

Pfc. Bob Hayes claims there are three species of sex, male, female, and Californians. Which are you Robert?????

To Lt. John L. Green goes this month's "Junior Spaceman's Med­al" for compiling the most flying time in October.

M/Sgt. Vass was seen sitting in the orderly room wearing · a uniform befittftig a "Rooshan Sol­jer." Please Sarge, can I read Pravda when you're thru, huh???

A. B . Cox ranch. He is the only Navy man I know of that receiv­ed an antelope permit.

ADM William H. Blandy, USN, ( Ret.) , has been named to head the new Naval Reserve Evalua­tion Board. The board will meet early in November for the pur­pose of examining the Naval Re­serve "as it relates to the needs of the Navy and ... the national defense."

• • • In announcing the appolntment,

Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson emphasized the import­ance of obtaining a maximum re­turn for each dollar used by the Naval Reserve. The mission of the board is n ot administrative, the Secretary added, but rather is analytical. Its objective is to de­termine the overall effectiveness of the Reserve policy.

• • • Small business concerns handled

nearly 56 percent of the Army's procurement dollar during fiscal year '53. Secretary of the Army, Robert T. Stevens said that 36.5 percent of the dollar value of all prime contracts and an estimated additional 19 percent in the form of first tier subcontracts went to firms employing fewer than 500 persons. In dollars the 55.5 per­cent amounts to $3,923,484,000.

• • • Selected to be the new Chief

of the Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks and to head the Navy Civil Engineer Corps is RADM John R. Perry, USN. Admiral Perry, credited with the creation of the Seabees during WW1I. will suc­ceed RADM Joseph Jelley, USN, who is taking over the post of Director of Construction, Depart­ment of Defense.

Steno for FDL Planning. Capt. Brechwald and Mr. Billups should gladly welcome another TEXAN!!!!

• • • Gust Johnson was "took".

Three boys entered his room bearing a notebook for sale. After listening to a long, convincing sales talk, Gust softened and pur­chased the notebook for fifty cents. Then the master salesman turned to his friend and said, "I knew 1 could sell Gust a fifteen cent notebook for fifty cents!" Needless to say, the three profi­teers lost no time in moving out!

the Ordnance Corps skyrocketed from 97 officers and 1,241 men to 4,527 officers and 25,054 enlisted men.

Tasks Divided

Ordnance increased from 420 to about 26,000. Enlisted personnel skyrocketed from about 4,500 to 24,720.

On June 2, 1942, Lt. Gen. Levin H. Campbell Jr., succeeded Gen. Wesson as Chief of Ordnance. Under his guidance, Ordnance procured over $34,000,000,000 in materiel. It operated 43 storage depots and countless manufactur­ing plants. Special training schools at Aberdeen Proving Grounds; Santa Anita Race Track in California, the Mississippi Ord­nance plant and others trained personnel in the maintenance of ordnance material.

In World War II, Ordnance of­ficer personnel suffered the fol­lowing casulties: 53 killed in action, 98 wounded and 73 miss­ing or captured. Total 224. Enlist­ed personnel had 477 killed in action, 1,332 wounded and 1,260 captured or missing in action.

One of the most important acti­vities of the Ordnance Corps in peace is the development of new and improved materiel. The White Sands Proving Ground, one of the newest activities of Ord­nance, exemplifies this in the re­search field of guided missiles and rockets.

"All I want to say is this. Me, I'm a veteran. You, you're mainly a time server. Now there's noth­ing bad about that if you don't forget that you're also serving your country. The Navy's got a saying that it's the first line of defense of these United States.

The gunner had something there.

I looked at him and he looked back at me, straight in the eye. There wasn't anything doggishly appealing about that look.

"Right you are and I'm sorry if I forgot it. Now how about that hamburger? Rare, I presume?"

"Naturally."

During the war years from 1812 to .1814, great difficulties were encountered in supply of ord­nance, since several corps and branches were involved in the ordnance picture. To eliminate this, the Ordnance Corps was given the task of procurement of all ordnance, providing armor­ers for units, and the important function of management of ar­senals and depots. Ordnance was also charged with the task of standardization of material. It was at this point that the Ord­nance Corps was beginning to firm up as a distinct organization.

One of the most difficult prob­lems of this period was the pro­curement system. To correct this, Ordnance established the decen­tralized Ordnance districts to ef­fect procurement of needed ord­nance materiel.

The Springfield Ar m or y had been established in 1794 by Gen. George Washington to carry out the mission of development of small arms weapons.

The site originally was selected because of its location. The Con­necticut River provided water, power and sea accessibility, and it was easily reached by land.

Historic Sile Another arsenal was establish­

ed in 1796 at Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. Pres. Washington also selected this site for its en­ormous supply of water power. This was the site of the famous John Brown raids of 1859.

Other arsenals and armories purchased or built during the period from 1813 to 1819 were: Rome, NY; Alleghany, and Pitts­burg, Pa.; Watervliet, NY; Bel­lona and Richmond, Va.; Frank­ford, and Philadelphia, Pa.; Pi­kesville, Md. ; Washington, Wash­ington, D. C.; Watertown, Water­town, Mass.; Augusta, Augusta, Ga.; Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge, La.

However as an economy mea­sure in 1821, Ordnance and Artil­lery branches were merged. This wcading last ed until 1832 when the Corps was restored to its ori­ginal status of a separate entity. The Corps under Colonel George Bamford was comprised of 13 of­ficers and 250 enlisted personnel. Total inventory during this pe­riod was approximate ly $9,500,-000 worth of material in all de­pots and arsenals.

New Innovations It was during the period from

1832 to 1861 that new design and manufacturing methods were ad­vanced.

In the year 1854, under the l eadership of Col Henry K. Craig, Chief of Ordnance, the first appli­cation of the use of chamber pres­sure to force a projectile through a erooved barrel (lands and grooves) of smaller diameter than the projectile. This was the start of the principle used today in small arms weapons to effect greater accuracy in flight of the projectile. This single shot mus­ket was developed at the Spring­field Armory. This weapon and a pistol carbine developed by Ord­nance no doubt gave the Union Army a distinct advantage in the war between the States. In 1858, the total inventory of Or d n an c e was approximately $21,600,000.

During the Civil War, the rank of the chief of Ordnance was raised to that of Brigadier Gen­eral. The first in that grade was

Maj. Gen. William Crozier was Chief of Ordnance during most of the war. He was also the first chief of Ordnance to attain the rank of Maj. Gen. as voted by Congress in 1917.

Immobility Seen One lesson learned during that

war was the immobility of most heavy ordnance. Immediately fol­lowing the Armistice, the Ord­nance Corps set about a program to improve materiel and the sys­tem of procurement. Although ordnance districts were discon­tinued, they were re-cfCtivated in the early twenties with the sole object to survey industry and its potential in the event of another conflagration.

At the start of World War IT, Ordnance, under the leadership of Maj. Gen. Charles H. Wesson, had two years grace before we were drawn into the conflict. During this period, Lend lease and other foreign assistance pro­grams afforded Ordnance an opportunity to get machinery rolling for supply and manufac­ture of materiel. It was in 1942 when the responsibility of supply and maintenance of all motor ve­hicles was transferred to the Ordnance Corps.

His racing career started in New Orleans in 1918. He won national fame in 1920 by riding Gallant Fox to triumphs in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Outside of winning three derbies, the grand­daddy of them all has booted home 964 winners. Say, who are these lads Arcaro, Guerin and At­kinson?

Det. 2 Tops 169th, 13-6 Getting Jrd League Win

An aerial minded Det. 2 outfit split a double header with

the 169th Sig. Co. last week, winning the football game-but lusing the slugfest that followed.

Det. 2, in building up a 13-0 half time lead, capitalized on

their aerial supremacy to score twice in the second period. Their first score resulted from a pass by Charlie Staats to Mike Kepchar. Kepchar then outran the secondary for 47 yards and a touchdown. Staats' pass to Carl Asp in the enzone

Carl Asp's touchdown grab in the enzone provided the margin of victory as Det. 2 downed the Officers Club, 16-13.

As darkness descended, excite­ment mounted to fever pitch when Det. 2 was on the verge of overcoming a 13-6 deficit with but minutes to go.

Det. 2 struck first in the early minutes of the first quarter. After taking possession of the ball deep in Officer territory, Charley Staats for Det. 2 then capitalized on his speed to score the TD on an end run.

Garcia Scores TD Following Rudy Garcia's inter­

ception, a revitalized 169th of­fense machine rolled toward pay dirt. Garcia again took the lime­light with a fine grab of Bobby Burkett's pass, racing the addi­tional yardage for the TD. They missed the extra point and trailed at this point, 13-6.

Action in the fourth quarter see-sawed back and forth with neither club able to score. Kep­char's catch of another Staats aerial set up Det. 2's only scoring opportunity in that period. Garcia then pounced on a Det. 2 fumble, but moments later, Det. 2 regained possession of the ball via Asp's interception of a 169th pass.

Football -'otecast By Roy Albertson

We came out of last week's football frays practically un­damaged. The Missouri win over Indiana and the Army-Tulane scoreless tie were the only errors in our predictions, giving us an average for the week of .867 cor­rect predictions.

This week's slate of games is filled with toss-ups, even for the veteran forecasters. So let's start with the worst of them.

NIMROD Gt

REEL By EMH

Now is the time to zero in the trusty "shootin' arn" before tak­ing off for the mountains and/ or the tall timber. Many a nimrod has learned to h is sorrow that his musket just didn't shoot like it did the year before when bring­ing his sights to bear on what should have been an easy target.

Ordinarily, guns equipped with iron sights are not so apt to get out of adjustment as the rifle which is furnished with a scope. It pays, however, to check either type before taking off afield. Iron front sights will bend and rear sights can suffer damage to micrometer adjustments. Scopes, we know, are as a rule delicate and sensitive instruments and common sense dictates constant checking of adjustments. Don't lose your buck by over or un­der shooting or windage error.

t t Pursuit of the "quackers" got

under way last Saturday, but it is still a little early to forecast what kind of a season it will be. The writer is not too familiar with duck hunting in the "Land of Enchantment," but local enthusi­asts seem to favor areas around Belen and Maxwell in the north­ern part of the state. However, gentle reader, do not take our word for this, as the source may not have been impeachable. Not that the local citizens do not know their areas, but it is possible that the ducks have changed their minds as to choice spots.

Driving on benders Is hard on your fenders.

This lead was short lived, how­ever, as the ever dangerous half­back, Ralph Gay, sparked the Of­ficers to a quick touchdown. Gay made a nice over the shoulder catch of Ernest Fricke's long pass from the 50 yard line and then raced the additional yardage for the tying score. A repeat per­formance by Fricke and Gay ac­counted for the extra point as the Officers took a 7 -6 lead.

This completed the first quarter scoring, but in the second period, the Shavetails went over for an­other touchdown. Once again in­strumental in the touchdown drive, Gay accounted for the score by passing to Jack Cross in the

This stalemate continued until the final whistle, guaranteeing Det. 2 the much needed victory to keep them in the running for the league leadership.

The aftermath resulted in a "rhubarb." But as neither team could be awarded a decision un­der the rules of the National Boxing Association only the re­sults of the football game were to be recorded in the league

Have Huge Task In the eight years of its exis­

tance, the Post Engineer Divi­·sion's responsibilities have sky­rocketed to the maintenance of 551 buildings. To carry out this task, Post Engineer employs 136 repair and utility civilians. In addition, a number of military personnel of the Corps of Engin­eers and Ordnance Corps are utilized.

The division is devided into six branches for efficiency of oper­ation: Administrative and Man­agement Branch; B u i 1 dings, Roads and Grounds; Electrical Utilities Branch; Mechanical and Sanitary Utilities Branch; Engin­eering Services Branch and the Engineer troop supply and field maintenance section. This branch deals directly with troops, issuing supplies and performing varied services including the mainten­ance of heavy equipment.

It is the responsibility of the heavy equipment repair shops to keep heavy earth moving trac­tocs and other vehicular tractors in repair. The shops are capable of performing complete rebuild and repair of these vehicles.

The Corps of Engineers was in­stituted by the Continental Con­gress on June 16, 1775 as "a chief Engineer for the Army in a separ·ate department and two assistants under him". On March 11, 1799, Congress resolved that the Engineers should be formed into a Corps and called the "Corps of Engineers".

In 17 83 the the Corps was dis­solved. However on May 9, 1794, Congress authorized a Corps of Artillerists and Engineers as part of the then existing Corps of Ar­tillery. On March 16, 1802, Pres­ident Jefferson organized the Corps, as we know it today, and "stationed it at West Point in the State of New York and shall constitute a military academy."

Eliie Organization The first enlisted men of the

Corps were authorized in Feb. 1803 but until 1846 the organiza­tion was generally all officers.

During the Civil War, the Corps which consisted of 105 officers and 750 enlisted personnel built 77 forts for defense of Washing­ton, D.C., and a 2200 foot ponton bridge across the James River.

The special buck or doe hunt is not to be confused with another special hunt announced earlier which will open certain portions of the White Sands Proving Ground range.

Hunters are reminded that if a kill is made in the regular deer season in November, they will not be considered for a permit in the special buck-doe hunt in Decem­ber. Only one of the 650 permits granted during the special hunt is earmarked for WSPG. Of the total, 150 are set aside for the Organ area, and the balance of 500 will be issued for hunters in the San Andres area. No check point for the special hunt has yet been established.

Check points and full regula­tions for the regular deer hunt in which certain portions of the proving grounds area are open, have been fully published in the Oct. 22 issue of Wind and Sand, and are available at the office of the provost marsnal.

The latter hunt will be from Nov. 7-18, and permits must be obtained at WSPG to hunt on the range. Permits for the WSPG hunt are obtainable at the of!ice of the Provost Marshal on the base.

Gen. Ford Bids· Ordnance Farewell .u.C:r' AR1 MENT OF THE ARMY

Of1ice of :the Chief of Ordnance

Washington 25. D. C. 20 October 1953

TO ALL ORDNANCE CORPS PERSONNEL:

As I end my :tour of duty as Chief of Ordnance and retire from the Army, I am aware of the s:trong bond that has de­veloped between us because of our experiences together. The recollection of these times, in which we have struggled to ac­complish the :tasks ass~ned to us. shall remain one of my treasured memories.

I do no:t for one moment for­get that for every achievement w.:ih which :the Ordnance Corps is crediied, ihe greatest share of that credit belongs to you men and women in our many Ordnance Installations earnest­ly going about your everyday jobs. And I am convinced that, collectively. your contributions will make an impressive chap­ter in history.

I am grateful to all of you for your loyalty and devotion which has made this record possible. Because the tremen­dous increase in the Ordnance workload involved the hiring of many new employees, we faced the Korean crisis as a rather unseasoned team. It is reassuring to observe that by your diligence and application to duty you have learned the kind of :teamwoTk that should enable you to cope successfully with any eventuality.

You must always realize that our operations must be con­ducted efficiently and econo­mically. You must bear in mind also that every bit of waste and inefficientcy which you permit reduces accordingly the effec­tiveness of your support to the men on :the firing-lines.

Whatever the future holds, I hope you will continue with only one thought uppermost in your minds - :to supply the world's \,est ordnance to the world~s finest soldiers.

My best wishes will be with you in every future undertak­ing. May you continue :to give the kind of support and coop­era:tion to every Ordnance ef­fort :that has made it so much easier for me to discharge my own responsibilities.

And I am convinced that, collec­tively, your contributions will make an impressive chapter in history."

As the 19th Chief of Ordnance in the 141 year history of the Corps, Gen. F ord has had the re­sponsibility of virtually reestab­lishing a whole new arms and ammunition industry because of the rapid and large scale demob­ilization at the close of World War II.
