FMF Streamlines for Nuclear Age A nuclear-age reorganization

of the entire combat structure of the Marine Corps, including the 1st Marine Brigade, is now entering its final phase and will be completed by Sept. 30, 1958, Gen. Randolph McC. Pate, Com- mandant of the Marine Corps, announced Saturday.

The streamlining program em- braces all of the Corps' Fleet Ma- rine Force units-three divisions, three aircraft wings, and combat support elements.

Basically, the reorganization in- volves creation of lighter, faster, more mobile combat units organ- ized and equipped to conduct modern amphibious operations, including vertical assault by helicopter, under conditions of either nuclear or non-nuclear war.

Gen. Pate said he had ordered reorganization to be accomplished between April 1 la.')".; Sept. 30 for the 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, N. C.; the 3rd Marine Division, Okinawa; the 2nd Ma- rine Aircraft Wing, Cherry Point, N. C.; the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. Japan; and the let Marine Brigade. Reorganization of the 1st Ma-

rine Division, Camp Pendleton, Calif., and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. El Toro, Calif.. was completed last June 30. Both units have successfully tested their new :hies of organization and equip-

Also being revamped in the current reorganization, Gen. Pate said, Are certain "Force Troops" support- ing units under the command of commanding generals of Fleet Ma- rine Force, Pacific with headquarters in Hawaii, and Fleet Marine Force, Atlantic, with headquarters at Norfolk, Va. The function of Force Troops is to provide additional support to divisions and wings on missions that require it.

The central feature of the re-

organization is the creation of a new, streamlined Marine division having increased shock and firepower, The new division is completely air-transportable. Its assault elements are completely helicopter-transportable. It has greater firepower, yet it has roughly 10 per cent fewer personnel than the old division. It is lighter by virtue of the replace- ment or removal of the heavy support elements from the Divi- sion. Similarly, Force Troops which

have been reorganized to provide the support necessary to both nuclear and non-nuclear warfare.

These are the major changes: (1) The tank battalion, hitherto

organic to the division, has been eliminated and transferred to Force Troops. There are no tanks in the new division.

(2) An anti-tank battalion equipped with the Ontos, a tracked ve- hicle with devastating firepower in six 106mm recollless rifles, has been, added. Each AT Bn. has 45 Ontos vehicles. (Here the Brigade has "B" Co., 3rd AT Bn., w9h 15 Ontos, attached to the 4th Marines).

To Meet in Opener

Tues., Hangar 103 By SGT BILL EASTBURN

Camp Lejeune and San Di- ego's hoop squads are matched in initial action of the 8th An- nual All-Marine Basketball tournament which opens next Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Hangar 103

at Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Sta- tion.

Promising up to five straight nights of high-grade hoop fire- works, the annual All-Marine cage classic is being staged outside the continental United States for the first time in its history.

The hosting Hawaii Marines are slated to sit out the first night of competition but will tangle with the loser of the first game in a second tilt Wednesday, March 12. A

formal drawing here at Camp Smith last Monday determined pairings for the tourney opener.

Involved are the three top cage combos in the Marine Corps. Camp Lejeune will represent the East Coast; San Diego the West Coast; and the Hawaii Marines are Pa- cific Ocean area entries. At press time neither Mainland

squad had arrived in the Islands, but both are expected sometime this weekend.

Camp Lejeune, who last Satur- day copped the East Coast Ma- rine crown with a victory over Quantico, finished a 47-game season slate in an exhibition tilt with the Harlem Globetrotters in Gbettge Field House at Camp Le- jeune.

Editor's Corner

Incentive Legislation The Department of Defense has asked Congress to pass legis-

lation that would mean a raise in pay for everyone in the uni- formed services who has served at least two year on active duty.

There is much more than just a pay rise at stake, though, for the Defense Department's plan amounts to a new way of paying military personnel. There are basic changes in pay practices, changes which should be understood by all servicemen and their families.

The purpose of the proposal are 1) to help the services meet their urgent requirements for top-notch career people in officer, warrant and enlisted ranks, and 2) to reward Ca-

' reer people at all echelons who have initiative and ablity .to qualify for increased responsibilities. It is the Defense Department's objective to insure dedicated

'career personnel that their compensation will be sufficient to enable them to discharge their responsibilities to both their country and their families. The new pay-incentive proposal will attain that objective.

The plan grows out of the Cordiner Committee's recom- mendations for sweeping changes in our military pay structure. The Cordiner Committee, after a year's work that included personal interiews with hundreds of service members, called the present system outdated. The proposal now before Congress would provide higher re-

wards for individual contributions, It would establish two new pay grades for enlisted men and two for officers. It would make possible raises of at least six per cent to seven of every 10 persons in the Armed Forces.

Above all, it would increase the attractiveness of career service, and would keep high-caliber people in uniform.-(APPS) ,r DR. EICHHORN AT ALOHA CHAPEL

Chaplain's Comer By CHAPLAIN D. A. SHARP JR-

Wednesday morning we did not need to picture in our imagination a car stuck in the mud or water soaked. All that was necessary was to look out of the window and see cars trying to plow through water or missing turns because fa- miliar landmarks were hidden by water. Help had to be solicited because the power of the car was not enough to either cause the car to go forward or backward.

Each of us has at one time or another found ourselves in like sit- uations with our fellow min. Human relationships is the area v here we as Christians have a tendency to bog down and then need help.

Like the car in the mud, we "spin our wheels" or like the car in the water, we "stall' and need help. We do not understand "WHY" and consequently we fuss with other members of our family, with other agents in our squad bays. Tempers are not controlled and we become not only unconvincing to others but to ourselves and we get an in- feriority complex. There is just nothing that we can do right, and the Sergeant or the Lieutenant or the Colonel is always "picking on Us."

Each of us needs the help of God and friends in living our daily lives. We cannot live ALONE. Jesus continually emphasized throughout his ministry the need for com- panionship. He lived with men and Hr; loved men. His love is dynamic -creative power plus direction. Real love is wanting the best that God has for the other person and then living so that he finds the best.

So the secret of human relations Is found in the second command- ment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

`Toys for Tots' Fills Stockings For One Million

At least one million underpriv- ileged children had their Christmas stockings filled last year because of "Toys for Tots," Headquarters Ma- rine Corps announced last week.

In a report on the 10th annual toy drive that seeks to collect and distribute toys to less fortunate youngsters, Headquarters said their number one community relations program was another "heart-warm ing success" in more than 225 cities and towns throughout the United States and Hawaii.

"Toys for Tots" is coordinated by Headquarters, Marine Corps, but op- crated by Marine Corps Reserve units with other civic organizntions on a volunteer basis.

Figures from the consolidated report of the Reserve Ground and Air units reveal that 88 per cent of the campaigns in the various communi- ties were rated either "outstanding" or -excellent." As proof of the community acceptance, Headquarters said, approximately five million toys were collected, 75 per cent of which were either new or in good condition.

K-BAY KIBITZER by bradley

A few weeks ago in Honolulu I saw a couple of rather unique signs in a store window, on King Street, I believe.

Both hand-lettered, one read, "We Buy Anything" and the other said "Girls Wanted." Virtually side by side in the same store, the effect was not, I'm sure, what the owner intended.

I see by a recent CHINFO Newsletter that an insurance company's statistics indicate the life expectancy of a career Navy- man is just as good, if not better, than a civilian, despite a con- siderably higher accident rate among servicemen as compared with civilians.

I assume the figures would apply about equally well to Ma- rines; so here they are: you can expect to finish a second 20-year career and still have 13 years left for some other occupation or pastime. After doing 30, figuring retirement at about 50, there are another 22 wears or so left. Retirement at age 65 leaves about a dozen years loi relaxation.

That makes a military carper sound pretty inviting, at least from where I sit. The Navy item ends on this note: "Annual physical examinations, mandatory inoculations, free hospitaliza- tion, and freedom from worry about strikes, lay-offs and lack of regular income are certain to add years to a career Navyman's life." The emphasis on a few of those words is mine.

In this same vein, a couple more thoughts. In my job I come in contact with civilians virtually every day. I work with them and become acquainted with a wide cross-section of the civilian community. One thing I've always believed-I'm really con- s inced now-is that civilian life has about the same number of daily problems and irritations, many of them much like those in the military.

For example, the boss changes and the new one is hard to get along with. Or he has some odd ideas. Or he expects a little more work. Or he feels that a man on the way up should put in more night hours without regard to added compensation. Or he pro- motes somebody over the top of you.

In civilian life, of course, it isn't necessary to wait until the end of enlistment to quit. It's easy to tell the boss off and then try to get another job somewhere. That, I think, is one of the dis- advantages. Instead of learning to take it and still come out on top, it's easy to be a quitter.

Now, when you add in such ingredients as the possibility of sudden lay-off, reduced pay, summary firing, waning business, insufficient money to meet the payroll, unexpected medical expenses (the list is long), service to Uncle Sam weighs pretty favorably in the scales for those who can "cut the mustard." For those who can't, life is always going to be a bed of thorns no matter what type of clothing is hanging on the human frame.

s

If Lt. Col. Nicholson on the News Desk at HQMC keeps the flow going, my column is going to be easy. Last week I used the 4th Marines Creed that he furnished. This week the ISO office received some charred pieces of paper, barely distinguishable as Home Town News Release forms. An accompanying note took notice of the fact that "the PIO at Pensacola is putting out HOT releases on people destined to come to the Brigade."

The .remains of the five almost totally destroyed forms indicated that they must have concerned helicopter pilots. The forms were dated Feb. 14, Valentine's Day.

On what little remained of the envelope was a standard rubber- stamped announcement "Damaged in Handling in the Postal Service." Included in the remains was a mimeographed note stating that the damage by fire bad occurred in transit at At- lanta, Ga.

I'll say this about the Post Office Department: they're efficient. Even if they can't get it all to you, they'll send what's left with a minimum of delay.

It's time I slipped the word out again that the Informational services Office is casting about for some writers. Polished news reporters are preferred. Since these are few and mighty far between in the Corps, the ISO will attempt to supply the polish if a man's qualifications will make it possible. A man without prior experience who has the interest and a command of the English language usually can become a useful member of the staff in short order.

Staff NCOs need not inquire. All others are requested to drop in to the office in Bldg. 229 or telephone 72535.

A level-headed Navy pilot in an F8U jet with virtually no file] remaining and one chance for safety made a safe landing of about 9:50 Wednesday morning with the help of a team effort at Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps Air Station. Lt. (jg) F. A. Hamilton of VF-154 aboard the USS Hancock took off from

that carrier about 128 miles from Oahu, at approximately 7:30 a.m. in good weather with an overcast. About two hours later he was in Hawaii's heavy weather with no vis- ibility at high altitude and fuel running low.

Marine Reserve Annual Training Set June 14-28

A meeting between 1st Marine Brigade and 15th Infantry Bn., Marine Corps Reserve, representatives was held last Friday for the purpose of planning the Reserve summer training encampment.

This summer the training dates are June 14-28. The battalion will again move to the Windward side of the island with the possible ex- ception of, the first three days when range firing may be conducted at Puuloa.

Host this year will be the 1st Bn., 4th Marines.

Col. John A. White ,Brigade G-3, was senior Brigade representative and chairman at Friday's meeting. Representatives from the Reserve battalion included Col. Lewis M. Nutting, Bn. CO; Lt. Col F. J. Mix, Jr., Inspector-Instructor and Capt. Jack D. Boline, assistant I-I. A station representative as well as a number of Brigade officers joined in the preliminary discussion of summer plans.

An encampment strength of 15 officers and 200 men was announced by Reserve spokesmen as anticipated turnout.

Ballard of MACS-2 Named Honor Marine

Sgt. Dale A. Ballard of MACS-2, MAG-13, received the Marine of the Month award during meritorious mast ceremonies conducted last Thursday, Maj. Ear:e E. Bagnall, squadron commander, made the presentation.

In addition to the award, he received a letter commending him for his outstanding achievement while serving with the unit during the past eieht months.

The letter read in part . .. "Your performance of duty as an aviation ground rada: technician has been exemplary. Your demonstrated knowledge of your field and repeated indications of zeal, initiative, de- votion to duty have been gratifying."

About 90 miles off Oahu he picked up Kaneohe's TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation System which gives bearings and distances by radio to instruments in the cockpit). TSgt. Bose L. Martin, tower operator at Kaneohe, heard the pilot attempt- ing to get together with Barber's Point GCA (Ground Control Ap- proach), but since the pilot didn't know his location, progress was slow.

Taking the initiative, TSgt. Mar- tin came on the frequency, told the pilot to change to another (guard) frequency. Then Martin alerted Triple (radar), the crash boat, crash crew and Marine Helicopter Squad- ron 161.

Almost immediately, 1st Lt. A. W. Phillpott, MACS-2, Marine Air- craft Group 13, picked the aircraft up on his scope and started guiding the pilot in by radio. The Thief River Falls, Minn., pilot was at about 20,000 feet as he neared Oahu. Lt. Hamilton's first glimpse of

Kaneohe Air Station was the 600 feet high Ulupau Head which loomed out of the grey mist. With Kaneohe Tower radioing additional instructions on runway anti arresting gear, the pilot made a fast one- time approach, landed on runway 4 and hooked the arresting gear.

After he was safely aboard, it was discovered that Lt. Hamilton's instrument card had expired last month. Col. Paul J. Fontana, commanding officer, MAG-13, promptly presented the pilot with a new one, commenting, "You just took the test and passed it."

The thoroughly drenched Navy pilot, who was hosted at the Bache- lor Officers Quarters here until he could take off again, was both thankful and high in his praise. He said the personnel at Kaneohe "brought me right in." "They did a mighty fine job."

WARNING IS ISSUED AGAIN ON BLANK AMMO DANGERS

Marine authorities this week again expressed concern over the possibility that children might seriously injure themselves by playing with blank ammunition obtained from training areas.

Of particular concern is the Kapaa training area used extensively by the 1st Marine Brigade, Fleet Ma- rine Force, Pacific, for small unit training. This area extends mauka of Kaneohe Bay Drive and encom- passes the ridge area lying between Kawainui swamp and Kaneohe.

While only blank ammunition is used in this area and all personnel are thoroughly indoctrinated in the need for recovering all cartridges, the rapid movement required during training, particularly at night, and the nature of the terrain and vege- tation make it impossible to recover all blank cartridges.

Since tampering with any type of explosive, even blank cartridges, can produce deadly results, all parents are urged to enjoin their children to stay out of the Kapaa and other military training areas.

While it has not yet been possible to fence the training area, con- spicuous signs are being posted at regular intervals around the area.

DPI Deputy Suit

Gives Finance Talk Over 200 persons heard Mr. Rob-

ert Spencer, Deputy Superintendent of the Department of Public In- struction (DPI), tell how the DPI finances its education program. The occasion was the monthly meeting of the Mokapu Elementary School PTA last Thursday in the school auditorium.

Mr. Spencer gave a comprehensive report on how the DPI obtains its funds, expends them and what fi- nancial support is obtained from the Federal government. He also reported on the overall cost per pupil in this area.

Prior to the 8 p.m. meeting, open house was held. The event drew a large number of parents.

The by-laws of the PTA was amended to permit the association to conduct business with a five per cent membership attendance. For- merly, one-fifth of the membership was required to constitute a quorum. Lack of a quorum has hampered the PTA in conducting its business.

Ruth Wilkin's sixth grade room won the banner for the greatest number of parents in attendance at the monthly meeting.

THE INGENUITY of the kJ. S. Leatherneck was again demonstrated Tuesday when a group from "B" Co., 10 Bn., 4th Marines, refused to have a lack of available transportation keep them from getting their job completed in typical Marine fashion.

DoD Says Pay Boost To Improve Services

I/ .VSHINGTON -The new military pay and incentive bill le& " ill produce no miracles, Assistant Secretary of Defense William

Francis Jr. has told Congress, but will provide steady and dramatic improvement in the services. Testifying in support of the pay legislation at the opening hearing of the House Armed Serv- ices Sub=committee, headed by Rep. Paul J. Kilday (3-Texas), the manpower chief said, "Our country to survive needs now, more than ever before in its history, a military force of truly professional sta- ture.

"We do .not presently have such a force," Mr Francis declared.

Figures quoted later revealed that of 2.3 million men in the ranks, only 756,000 are expert-

THE NEW AIRCRAFT arresting gear recently installed at the Kane- ohe Bay end of the main runway received its first test Monday, when an F2H Banshee (top photo), traveling at 60 knots, engaged one of the four cables to be slowed to a stop. The sections of auto tire holding the cables off the surface of the runway were sent flying. Prior to the test by the Banshee, 33 tons of chain were set in place (bottom photo) by airfield crews using heavy equipment. After each use, the chain, which is 500 feet in length on each side of the arresting gear, must be moved back into position. A combination of brawn and equipment is necessary to accomplish the task. The arresting gear is located 1,500 feet in from the K-Bay end of the runway. it was designed by Maj. J. V. Hanes, MCAS assistant S-3, and Mr. Lin Murphy of the Public Works engineering section. The gear is used in the event of power failure on take-off or brake failure on landing.-PHOTOS BY SGT. BRUCE HAMPER.

For that reason, he continued, the proficiency system permits use in two ways: either through quali- fication in a skill of critIcal Im- portance, or demonstration of outstanding effectiweness in any essen- tial service skill.

"It is unique in the fact that it is the only system yet devised that Is capable of adjusting to changing skill requirements without injuring

enced and fully trained. either monetarily or morale-wise "Unless we can offer our most the .ndividual in the declining

able men a chance to move for- skill," Mr. Francis asserted. ward in accordance with demonstrated ability, we are in grave dan- ger" of eventually bogging down the services "with men who do not nave confidence in their ability, do not have ambition or drive and are not the kind of men the modern Armed Forces so urgently require," he explained.

"We expect no miracles" through .. the proposed changes in the military pay structure, Mr. Francis told the legislators, "but we do expect a steady, and ultimately, a dramatic improvement in our order of readiness." The Defense Department consi-

ders the proficiency system to be the most flexible of all the various compensation proposals that have been suggested and believes the plan offers the greatest bene- fits at the least cost, he added.

Mr. Francis said proficiency pay is precisely that-pay for proficiency-and not technician pay, skill pay, specialist pay or any of the other things it has been called. "You might say it is a compro-

mise, but I'm inclined to use the word 'flexible'; flexible m that it can be applied in one way by one service to solve one type of problem, another way by another service to solve its separate problem," Mr. Francis said.

meet specific tactical requirements. This feature, combined with the

capability to fight on either nuclear or non-nuclear battlefields, insures Marine Corps readiness to respond instantly, with appropriate force and weapons, to any national nillitsey requirement-all - out nuclear war, limited war, or small emergencies requiring an immediate show of force.

The typical Marine aircraft wing consists of 8,000 to 10,000 Marines who operate about 400 aircraft of all types, including helicopters, jet fighters, assault transports. attack bombers, and all-weather fighters.

In combat operations, Matine divisions and aircraft wings nor- mally are integrated in closely- knit air-ground teams in which wing support includes helicopter lift, close air support, and air defense for the amphibious assault. The modern Marine Corps doc-

trine for amphibious operations envisions deep penetration of enemy territory by helicopter-borne assault forces, followed by rapid, coordinated, support operations across the beaches.

The new doctrine emphasizes speed, mobility, flexibility, wide dis- persal of units, seizure and control of key terrain features, and fluid tactical maneuvering by small units as opposed to the linear tactics of World War II.

Mokapu Peninsula

Hit by Heavy Storm The heaviest torrential rain to

deluge Oahu in recent years dump- ed 11.6 inches of rain on Mokapu peninsula in a 24 hour period Wednesday, a Station aerology spokesman reported.

Rain, in such quantity, disrupted school classes, caused tardiness of personnel in getting to work, and wreaked havoc with automobile traffic.

All the lowland of Mokapu reported flooding conditions. Eight MABS-13 volunteers manned two heavy duty pumps to halt two foot-deep and still rising water from entering the home of MSgt. G. B. Huneycutt of Quarters 554, Crescent Circle.

The transportatiop dispatcher indicated that many K-Bay motor- ists were having their problems too. Excessive speed through water of undetermined depth was dousing engines, causing cars to stall. Low slung autos were stalling out in flooded areas when the water came above the level of the exhaust pipe.

Raincoats and ponchos were out in force with personnel scurrying through tthe driving rain, some barefooted and others charging through with little thought to wet- ting their footwear.

Mokapu school secured its classes by noon.

Reports of humorous incidents filtered in to the Informational Services office. A hardy Marine was reported splashing around in the water near MAG-13 headquarters with fins and face mask. The chaplain's office said that a man had poled a boat from the hobby shop to the Special Services building.

And so the rain-soaked day went. Weather forecasters indicated that relief was in sight today. At press time Wednesday, everyone hoped that their forecast would prove correct.

STREET SKIN DIVING is a bit startling but in keeping with the record downpour that flooded MCAS, Kaneohe, Wednesday. Playfully romp- ing in foot-deep water near the Station pl.,,to lab is Sgt. Bill West of Hq&HqSq.

ALL -MARINE HOOP TILTS SLATED HERE

Continued from P-1 secutive season as their pilot, the Lejeune cagers are tall, talented ,nd have formidable scoring power.

San Diego, the defending All- Marine champs, boast an even more powerful crew than last season when they snatched the title away from Quantico in an upset finish at Point Loma high school in San Diego. The Devildog victory ended a six-year reign of basketball supremacy by the Quantico quintet. Like Maj. Spencer, the Camp Le-

jeune mentor, and Maj. Ira Nor- folk, coach of the Hawaii Marines, MSgt. J. H. (Cheesey) Neil is back for his second consecutive season at the helm of the San Diego hoop- sters.

Undefeated through 32 straight games this season, Neil's San Diego Devildogs dropped their first tilt to Topp Manufacturing of Los An- geles in the Southwestern Invita- tional Tournament at Las Vegas, Feb. 8. The Devildogs bowed out after holding the Topp team to a stalemate which lasted more than three hours, including five over- time periods.

The Devildogs polished off their 43-game schedule last Tuesday in a tilt with the Camp Pendleton Leathernecks.

Maj. Ira Norfolk's Hawaii Ma- rines returned from the Hilo Shrine tourney last weekend with their second consecutive trophy in that event and their third championship crown of the current season. The others, won within the past ten days, are: the Hawaiian Senior hoop title and the Pacific Ocean Area Marine championship. While their 32-game season

schedule was completed Feb. 21, the Hawaii cagers have won five post season tilts to give them a 35-4 record to date. This includes exhibition wins over the University of Utah and University of Hawaii.

On the basis of their individual performance this season, there is relatively little difference in the potential of the three clubs. San Diego and Camp Lejeune have con- siderable height advantage in the forecourt while the Hawaii cagers have the weight of experience in their favor.

In addition to the coveted All- Marine Basketball championship, the three clubs will be competing for a chance to represent the Corps in National AAU playoffs later this month at Denver, Colo.

A post-game banquet and trophy presentation is slated Monday evening, March 17, in Waikiki for players of all three teams, their guests and members of the press.

New Title for MRI WASHINGTON, D.C. - Starting

March 1, 1958, all Marine Machine Records Installations will be re- designated as Data Processing In- stallations, Headquarters Marine Corps announced last week.

"Data Processing." a term which is rapidly being accepted throughout business and industry, indicates the nature of the work now per- formed by MRI units. Considering the scope of the data handling field, the term "Machine Records" is often misleading.

Facilities used for the operation of either or both electric any 'lee - tronic data processing equipment will generally be known as "Data Processing Installations," with the word "section," "division," "platoon," etc., substituted for the word installation as appropriate, to fit the basic organization of which the installation is a part.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL AND RATINGS

-A performance appraisal is any evaluation of performance, whether expressed or not. Unexpressed ap- praisala or employee performance are being made constantly by supervisors; and unexpressed apprais- als of the effectiveness of organiza- tions are constantly being made by management officials."

DISCUSSIONS OF PERFORM- ANCE-To improve employee per formance, strengthen supervisor- employee relationships, and to keep employees informed regarding their work, current performance should be discussed with them on a con- tinuing basis. In discussing performance, they should be told frankly and honestly how their work meets, exceeds, or fails to meet requirements. Where merit exists, it should be recognized. If needed, they should be given reasonable help to improve.

In discussing performance, the supervisor should remember that any person wants to know the specific facts or incidents upon which the appraisal is based. He should, therefore, be prepared to give information before he starts the discussion.

PERFORMANCE RATING FAC- TORS-The following is intended as a guide for supervisors and a re- fresher summary for all hands: 1. QUALITY OF WORK relates to:

(a) Accuracy and thoroughness of work; (b) Neatness, presentabil- ity and acceptability of work result; (c) Demonstrated skill; (d) Soundness of judgments and de- cisions; (e) Avoidance and reduction of waste; (f) Degree of con- formance to prescribed quality standards; (g) General effectiveness of effort in a qualitative sense.

2. QUANTITY OF WORK relates to: (a) Amount of acceptable work produced; (b) Application to duty; (c) Meeting or establish- ing realistic deadlines; (d) Pro- gress toward meeting objectives toward satisfying the demands for action; (e) Timeliness of work; (f) Economical production; (g) General effectiveness in a quan- titative sense.

3. ADAPTABILITY relates to: (a)

Cooperation; (b) Reliability; (c) Attitudes; (d) Initiative and re- sourcefulness; (e) Ability to learn; (f) Versatility; (g) Leader_ ship ability (when required); (h) Attention to conservation; (1) Ob- servance of rules (j) General ad- justments to conditions of work.

OPERATION DOLLAR STRETCH New military requirements have

set a stiff pace for economy in other Navy and Marine Corps operations. To maintain the Navy at maximum fighting efficiency requires a con- tinuing effort on the part of all hands to scale down unessential op- erating costs.

The bureaus and offices of the 'Navy Department have launched

OPERATION DOLLAR STRETCH, an intensified six-month campaign to generate and disseminate as many !specific ideas for cost reduction as possible which can be considered

hand adopted "now" by bureaus and offices of the Department, field activities, and forces afloat.

Adopted beneficial suggestions and superior achievements of employees under the Navy Incentive Awards Program may be included in the material which is forwarded to the Department Committee for consideration under the Campaign. Contributions may be processed through both channels at the same time.

Detailed instructions for participating in the Campaign are expected soon. In the meantime, contributions received under the Navy In- centive Awards Program will be re- viewed by the local committee for possible Navy-wide dissemination and forwarding to the OPERATION DOLLAR STRETCH COMMITTEE, c/o Navy Management Office.

KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT Jobs expected by act)'n of the

Civil Service Conmission are placed in Schedule` A, B, or C of the civil service rules after a study of all pertinent facts.

Schedule A is for positions for which it is not practicable to hold any examinations. There are about 237,000 jobs in this schedule. Posi- tions in foreign countries make up the bulk of Schedule A jobs. It also includes positions such as chaplains and professional and technical ex- perts for temporary consultation purposes.

Schedule B is for positions for which competitive examinations are impracticable, but for which !IOU-

competitive examinations are given. There are about 4,800 positions in Schedule B.

Schedule C is for positions whose occupants serve in a policy-deter- mining capacity to the politically appointed heads of agencies or in a confidential capacity to them or their key officials. Schedule C jobs are those which can be expected to change with each change in administration. No examination is given for these jobs. Approximately 1,200

positions are in this schedule. A large percentage of the excepted

positions are under separate merit systems of agencies excepted from the regular civil service. For example, about 17,500 jobs in the Foreign Service of the State Department, 22,000 in the Department of Medi- cine and Surgery of the Veterans Administration, 14,000 in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 15,600

in the Tennessee Valley Authority are covered by merit systems in those agencies.

GRAPPLERS WIN SIX TITLES TO TAKE OAIW OPEN CROWN

Titles fell decisively and consistently into the grasp of Leatherneck wrestlers in the Oahu Open AAU tournament held last Sunday at the Central YMCA as 2nd Lt. Bert Corr's bruisers took six of eight open crowns to garner the team win. It was the first appearance of the whole Hawaii Marine team this season.

Pfc. Gilbert Sanchez got the Ma- rines off to a flying start when he won the first title to be contested, at 1141/2 pounds. The former Wyom- ing State champion won over M. Wakabayashi of the Central YMCA.

The. Marine coach, 2nd Lt. Bert Corr took first in the 125% pound match. Lt. Corr, All Marine champion last year in the same weight class, took the title from F. Nagao of the Church College. Twin brother of the coach, 2nd Lt.

Ed Corr won the 1361/2 pound title, defeating Pfc. Rosalio Garcia, also of the Marines.

Defending Open Champion in the 1471/2 pound class was Cpl. Paul Bravo of the Marines. He was successful in the defense of his title, prevailing over L. Mapu of Church College. Bravo is a two-time state champion in Nebraska.

Going for the Marines in the 174 pound tussle, labeled a "real tough one" by Coach Corr, Cpl.

Earle Perillo soundly drubbed six opponents to gain his win. Peri llo was an All-Marine champion at 1601/2 pounds last season.

Pfc. C. A. Belmont took the Ma- rines' last title of the match when he won over L. Carter of the Cen- tral YMCA at 191 pounds.

Cpl. Bill Frank was runner-up in the heavyweight division to H. Wil- son of the Central YMCA. Wilson is a former AAU National Champion and Olympic trials runnerup. Frank was leading him till the veteran flipped him for a pin. Frank had gained points earlier in the match when he scored a take-down on Wil- son.

Another runner-up for the Ma- rines was Cpl. John Libby in the 160,2 pound class. This brought the Leathernecks' total for the eight events to six wins and two second places.

Cagers Trounce Navy Stars To Win Hilo Shrine Tourney

The Hawaii Marine basketball team won its third title of the season last Saturday night at Hilo on the Big Island when they defeated an augmented ServPac squad 85-74 for their third straight title conquest and the Hilo Shrine Crown.

It is the second straight year the Leathernecks have won the title.

Earlier this season the Marines clinched the Hawaiian Senior In- vitational Title and the Pacific Ocean Area Title.

Beating Keaukaha by an 86-56

count in their first game the Ma- rines looked to be in championship form. 2nd Lt. Bob Reese led them to a 19-9 lead after the game was tied at six-up in the first period.

The Sputniks, took the floor at this point and the gap was closed to 27-22 before Cpl. Jack Mitchell took command and sparked the second stringers to a 53-37 half time advantage.

Maj. Norfolk played his first string for the third period and the Sputniks for the fourth, to roll easily to the win.

Mitchell was high for the 'Necks with 23 points followed by Reese with 14, 2nd Lt. John Fannon and Pfc. George Wall with 11

second tilt, against the Balfour Jewelers, the Marines could do no wrong as everyone hit consistently to sweep to a 30-10 advantage mid- way in the first half.

Balfour warmed up slightly in the second half but 2nd Lt. John Fannon hit for 15 of the Marines' 22 polits early in the period to put the game out of reach for the charging civilians.

Fannon led the Marines' scoring with 22 counters. 1st Lt. Ted Hen- derson and 2nd Lt. Bob Reese each swished for 13, Cp1. Jack Mitchell garnered 12 and 1st Lt. Frank Ju-

Arch-rivals for Island fistic supremacy during the past few years, the Leathernecks from K-Bay and the soldiers of Schofield Barracks renewed hostilities in ten action-packed bouts here et Dailey Field on Feb. 27, with the Hawaii Inter-Service Boxing Championship Crown at stake. Splitting ten bouts evenly when the Marines roared from behind to take the last two, the teams were named co-champions to share Vie 1958 title. Blood flowed freely during the fiercely fought encounters as op ponents gave their all an, just a little bit more as their respective outfits' reputations were at stake.

Army coach Jimmy Mintz started things off with a trick maneuver when he made a last minute switch of fighters and pitted Paulino Vil- laneuva, Division Bantam Champ, agaist slender Pfc. Tony Miral of the Marines in th.e flyweight bout.

Miral couldn't seem to solve the southpaw slinging of Villaneuva who scored well in two furious exchanges at ring center. The Marine pled from the nose in the second round and was knocked down three times in the third from three consecutive left hooks. Villaneuva was awarded the unanimous decision.

Army took a two to nothing lead when Claudio Trujillo took a very close dec'cion from tricky Pfc. Walter Ntkama of the Marines in a 119 pound contest. Naka ma couldn't be hit for the first two rounds as he boxed well but had trouble with his footing on the slippery canvas of the ring. He tired in the third round and Tru- jillo scored a lot of hard, clean shots as he pressed for the decision. It was close and the soldier got the nod on agg-essiveness.

:Featherweight Cpl. Carmen Scia- labba scored the Marines' first victory of the night when he won a decision over Harry Fellez of the Wolf- hounds. The Marine used a left jab to perfection. Pellet relied mostly on counter-punching in the second round as Scialabba's superior boxing skill began to show as he scored with both hands. The third round saw the Marine stalking his adver- sary to get the better of several stiff exchanges and cop the decision.

Sgt. Luis Molina wasted no time in evening the count for the 'Ngcks when he scored a KO win over Chauncey Pridgett of the Army in a lightweight test at 1:35 of the first round. Pridgett was taller and had the longer reach, scoring well in the early seconds of the bout. Molina suddenly bulled in on the soldier to score three straight punches climaxed by a left hook to the temple which iced Pridgett.

In the outstanding fight on the card, Sgt. Rocky Santiago of the Marines lowered the boom on Al- fred Driscoll of the Army to stun and stagger him, but the tough soldier just wouldn't go down. Both battlers scored at will throughout the bout with no at-

tempt being made by either to defend. Santiago took the decision and won a trophy as the outstanding fighter of the night. In the welterweight bout, Rich-

ard Turner scored a unanimous decision over Cpl. Eddie Woods of the Marines and looked like a real pro doing it. Woods is a talented boxer but just couldn't cope with the light_ ning wizardry of his ring-wise opponent.

David Baker of the Army pursued a bewildered Cpl. Donalu Gordon around the ring like a steamroller, throwing clean, hard shots to the Marine's head all the time. Gordon tried to make a fight of it but could- n't do any appreciable damage to Baker's advance, Gordon was ex- amined by the doctor between the second and third rounds and the fight was stopped because of a cut eye. Baker was awarded the TKO win.

Marine middleweight Pfc. Jesse r,todrigues evaded Andy Heiltnan's haymakers for the better part of two rounds with some fancy foot- work. Toward the end of the second he ran into an overhand right and took the mandatory eight

termined title bid that would not be denied, the Leathernecks throt- tled the Packers team 85-74 before some 3,000 fans in the Hilo Civic Auditorium.

Frequent early fouls were assessed key men in the Marines' machine and Maj. Norfolk was forced to juggle his talent to avoid losing players via the five foul route.

The fiery coach did this in such a manner that not a single Marine hoopster left the tray before everything was under control. The Marines jumped off to an

early lead to 10-2 when the Navy couldn't hit. Swopes and company warmed to their task rapidly however and the Hawaii Senior InVitational League individual scoring champion tied the score at 21-'111 with a pair of free throws.

Nine fouls had been assessed the Marines at this point with two in- dividuals having committed three infractions.

Bob Blake of the Navy hit from the side to put his team ahead for the first time in the contest. The 'Necks tied it up twice after that before Jorgenson and Swopes hit consecutively to balloon to a six point spread which was their high point.

The Marines fought back stub- bornly and just before the buzzer ending the half, 2nd Lt. Jack Fannon eased in three free throws

the Marines slugged it out with Cleo Banner of the Army for three rounds. Johnson scored the harder blows with left uppercuts and com- binations to take a unanimous decision and :eave it up to Percy Price in the heavyweight bout.

Little Willie Jones of the Army put up a good but losing battle against Price as he just didn't have the equipment to go with the Ma- rine belter. Price took the unanimous decision to give the Marines a tie for the title.

Next goal for the team is the All- Marine Crown which will be up for grabs at Quantico, Va. starting on March 25.

Regardless of the fact that the number "13" has a stigma attached to it, last Saturday afternoon 13 AKU members completed their two- mile swim.

Those who qualified in this stage of becoming a full-fledged AKU member were: Kristin and "Rusty" Blalack, Sgts. R. H. Mayerzak, P. C. Marciel, N. H. Senter and G. K. Vinuya, Opts. J. Davis. R. Hayton and R. Meszaros and Pies. D. Egg- ers, C. Luton, D. Nash and C Sai- mopulos.

While the waters on this side of Oahu were riled up due to disturb- ances caused by the recent rains and ground swells, and still quite murky for skin-divers, SSgt. C. Parfumorse led a group of AKUs into the sea and captured 10 lobsters.

All AKU members are requested NOT to skin-dive in the area between runway 18 and Penguin Point due to the test-firing of aircraft guns in that area.

SSgt. L. E. Walker, phone 72815, will be the AKU boat captain for tomorrow and Cpl. Pietila, 72982, for Sunday.
