A DATE TO REMEMBER

March, 1967

* * LIBRAVETS* *

In the spring of 1945, while the city of Tokyo was still puttingout the fires set a few days earlier by incendiary-carrying B-29Superforts, a cold, grey "Ides of March" dawned on loaded B-24heavy bombers of the Italy-based 15th Air Force.

Throughout the night mainte- Today's 15th AF is still writ-nance men had been grooming ing history, too. It's a new kindthe giant "Liberators" for a maxeffort. Detailed briefings weregiven flight crews. This was tobe a raid for the history books— the 15th Air Force was aboutto fly its longest mission of thewar.

The distance: 2000 miles.Flying time: about 13 hours.The target: a complex of syn-thetic oil refineries at Ruhland,Germany.

Today, as the 22nd anniver-sary of the attack draws near, alook at the history books revealsit was emminently successful.Our own losses were heavy butthe enemy was dealt a tellingblow, one from which he wasnever to recover. For all practi-cal purposes, Ruhland went outof business on March 15, 1945.

Nuclear weapons have madehigh explosives "old hat" today.Just one of the Strategic AirCommand's B-52 jet bombers,for example, could very effec-tively duplicate the efforts of theentire armada that swept overRuhland.

As for the equipment itself,the B-24, a behemoth by WorldWar II standards, would fitt omfortiiJ> si tbc shadow of a

The Liberator's maximumrange of 2000 miles is a meredrop in the bucket when com-pared to the globe-spanning abil-ities of today's bombers, whilethe speed of eight-engine B-52Stratofortresses is more thanthree times that of the twin-tail-ed darling of the AAFE.

Compare the World War IIstrategic bomber to the SAC'sinter-continental ballistic missilesand the B-24 takes on all theaspects of a Flying Jenny.

But this time of year a fewAir Force old timers who madethat Ruhland mission may pauseto reflect; a few may reach backinto their memories and hearagain the roar of propellers, thethump of flak tearing througha fuselage; a few may even feelthe dull ache of old wounds.

That same 15th Air Force, bythe way, is still doing business.Nowadays, as the largest ofSAC's numbered air forces, theoutfit is headquartered at MarchAir Force Base in Riverside,California.

What Should You Do IF...Your Car Stalls on the Freeway?

1. Get off the freeway and onto the shoulder of theroad as far as possible before your car comes to a halt.

2. If the shoulder is narrow, get everyone out of thecar and safely away from the immediate area.

3. Show a distress signal. In the daytime, raise yourhood. At night, place a red flare 300 feet behind your carand another one near the car.

If you have no flares, station someone with a flag orflashlight several hundred feet behind the car and keepyour parking lights on. If nothing else, attach a whitehandkerchief to the car radio antenna.

Remember, whether it is night or day, whether on thefreeway, in city traffic or on a country road, there is alwaysdanger someone may crash into a stalled vehicle.

So, take necessary precautions. You will save needlessaccident and injury.

New Tax Adjustment Act'May Reduce Withholding

A new withholding tax form recently released by the InternalRevenue Service may permit some employees to reduce theamount of Federal income taxes withheld from their pay checks.

The new form - Schedule A held by allowing the taxpayer(Form W-4) — is part of the"Tax Adjustment Act" signedinto law by President Johnsonlast year. One of the majorchanges under this law is theintroduction in 1967 of a gradu-ated withholding tax on wages.

Pete Laue, seniorengineer, describes the newsystem as a refinement of thesuccessful Shop Order Status(SOS) control system which hasbeen providing complete dailyproduction reports of in-processfabrication and assembly ordersfor the past four years.

Utilizing a battery of 19 high-ly accurate Transactors, theSOS system has transmittedmore than one million individualmessages to Data Processingsince its inception in 1962.

The results have enabled C.R. "Charlie" Cole, productioncontrol manager to maintain anaccurate picture of 100,000 shoporders in that time.

Loan Business Good"But the demand for loans

was on the upswing and werealized we were in an advan-tageous income position neverpreviously experienced," he said."So, we arranged short termloans from the bank and othercredit unions in order to con-tinue doing business."

Guarino Faces 1st YearAs Softball Manager

Softball season is on the way and the Precisioneers are pre-paring to meet it head-on. Paul Lough, forced to limit his partici-pation this year due to other commitments, has turned the man-agerial reins over to John Guarino, hard-hitting third basemanfrom the '66 squad.

The new skipper is anticipating some spirited competition forstarting berths on this year's team and has declared all positions"wide open."

"We need infielders, outfielders, pitchers, catchers and specta-tors," Guarino said.

While welcoming back veterans Bob Perry, Paul Lough, PeteDeJoung, Tom Smith and Ed Lyneis, the new manager is en-couraging new prospects to try out for the team,

Spring practice will begin sometime during the last week ofFebruary with regular league play, covering a tentative 15-gameschedule, slated to get under way in April. All league games willbe played under the auspices of the Burbank Industrial Men'sSoftball League.

Sorely missed again this year will be Jim Young, clutch-hit-slick-fielding shortshop of seasons past. Jim is spending most ofthis season in action of a somewhat larger scale . . . with thiArmy in Viet Nam. We're all waiting for Jim to slide in "sa:home."

Four Librascopers won prizesduring the festivities.

Jerome J. Mundy, Bldg. 5,took home the top prize, a stereoAM/FM radio. Richard Schlei-cher, Bldg. 3, won a Samsonite3-suiter; Herb Acker, Bldg. 17,electric ice-crusher, and LauraCovert, guest of Bob Pelletier,Bldg. 1, won a hot tray.

More than a thousand cheer-ing youngsters attended the Pre-cisioneers Children's ChristmasParty, held the day after thedance at Herbert Hoover HighSchool auditorium in Glendale.

The program began sharplyat 10 a.m. with a series of car-toon films. Live entertainmentconsisted of tumbling and ani-mal acts, with Librascope's ownAl Fonseca playing Christmas

Carols and accompanying theacts on the Hammond organ.

Santa was there, too, handingout candy canes and talking tothe children. At the close of theparty, each child received a giftfrom the Precisioneers.

It was a fun-filled two days,according to employees attend-ing, and the Precisioneers chair-men — Donna Williams, Dinner-Dance Chairman, and Jack Nai-moli, Children's Party Chairman— should take a well-deservedbow.

Precisioneers Hoopsters Breeze Toward Title,Practice ID' on Host of Dazed Cage Foes

Librascope's Precisioneers arecarrying on their own brand of"Zero Defects" crusade on thecourts of Burbank IndustrialBasketball League.

Boasting a record of 9 winsand one loss (6-1 in leagueplay), the Librascope cagers arethreatening to turn the race forthe title into a rout. The closestchallenger is Menasco, one gameback.

"This is one of the finestteams we've fielded in years,"said Dick Kennerknecht, teammanager. "With just six moregames to play, enthusiasm isstill running high and the otherteams are going to have tohustle if they want to catch us."

Opponents DazedIn the wake of their highly

successful season, the Precision-eers have left a host of dazedfoes. After an undefeated 3-game practice round the localcagers opened league action bydumping the Burbank Police,64-25. Then, Electronic Special-ty went down to defeat, 42-29,followed by Hydro-Aire, 60-24;Hughes Market, 39-23; Pennoy-er Dodge, 48-38, and the Bur-bank Firemen, 52-28.

The team suffered its first de-feat of the year Feb. 15, bowingto Menasco, 52-43.

'Can't Let Down'"The Menasco game proved

that we'll have to watch our stepfrom here on in," Kennerknechtsaid. "Up to now we've been

breezing along smoothly but wecan't afford to let down if weintend to win the champion-ship."

There is a good chance theLibrascope team will be pickedto represent the Burbank Indus-trial League in an upcomingA.I.R.C. inter-league tourna-ment, he said.

Need Spectators"It would help to have a few

spectators to cheer us on," Ken-nerknecht added.

Bob Swanson BowlsPerfect '300' Game

Bob Swanson of Systems Di-vision Subassembly, a bowler ofsome renown, started the NewYear off with a bang, Jan. 8,when he became the first keglerin the 18-year history of JewelCity Bowl (Glendale) to roll aperfect 300 game in leagueplay.

For his sterling effort, Swan-son received a $100 U. S. Sav-ings Bond and a three-foottrophy from Jewel City Bowl.He also was to receive a newbowling bag and a pair of bowl-ing shoes from a local bowler'ssupply store. The ABC will pre-sent him with a Hamilton watch,valued at $500.

How does it feel to bowl 300?"Fine," says Swanson, "but

I've done it before."His first perfect game was in

1959, but it was in a non-leaguegame so it didn't win any prizes.The 1967 effort, however, wasdifferent.

"This time it was a leaguegame. This time it paid off," hesaid.

The interest rate on U. S.Savings Bonds has been in-creased to 4.15 percent. Thematurity period of Series EBonds under the new terms isnow only 7 years.
