In a CPX, staff problems actually encountered under combat conditions are simulated on paper by field umpires. Com- manders, staff members and key personnel are then required to evaluate these problems and take appropriate action. The adminis- trative exercise also provides a thorough test of field communications procedures. Monday evening the Brigade's

HIGH REENLISTMENT MARK SET BY 1st MARINE BRIGADE

Disproving the report that reenlistment rates are low service-wide, the 1st Marine Brigade last month outdistanced all previous marks with a phenomenal 77 per cent reenlistment rate for the month of April.

This is the highest monthly percentage achieved since the first air-ground team was activated at K-Bay in 1953. For the past ten months, the Brigade has averaged 59 per cent.

The reenlistment percentage is based on the number of men who reenlist out of those who are eligible for reenlistment.

Since July 1 last year, 1009 Ma- rines, or 59 per cent of all men eligible, have reenlisted. Aside from the sizeable sum of money saved, the Brigade has, in effect, retained in the Marine Corps virtually an entire infantry battalion, already trained

Last month's new high is at- tributed in great part to the 92 per cent rate achieved by the 4th Marines, the Brigade's infantry component. Also, with only four men eligible, the Brigade Artil- lery, 3rd. Bn., 12th Marines, did its share with 100 per cent. All

told, 67 Brigade Marines chose to stay in the Corps in April. The 1st Marine Brigade com-

manding general, Brig. Gen. Avery R. Kies , has commended all units for the splendid record. In a message to his command. he said:

"It is with great pleasure and pride that I have been greeted as

our new commander with a reenlistment rate of 77 per cent for the month of April. This rate which reflects the reenlistment of 67 Marines is by far the highest reenlistment rate achieved by the Brigade or its predecessor, the First Provisional Marine Air- Ground Task Force. I commend' all units for this splendid record and especially convey my deep appreciation to the officers and men of the 4th Marines and the 3rd Bn., 12th Marines, on their outstanding efforts which largely determined the Brigade percent-

Vertical Assault Doctrine Adoption

Creates Changes in FMF Structure Washington-Attacking Leatherneck troops will go airborne in

the changing tactics of atomic warfare according to the Marine Corps. Adopting the doctrine of the vertical assault, the Corps is making sweeping changes in the Fleet Marine Force structure.

one A-bomb could have wiped out 110 light and heavy helicopters. an entire invading force. replaces With all-weather capabilities for the shooting amphibious tractor.

No longer will Marines be required t4 fight foot-by-foot across wide expanses of gently sloping sandy beaches. tactical experts declare .

The 100 mph copter greatly di- minishes the vulnerability of troops attacking from the sea and gives them a tremendous new knockout punch in being able to land behind coastal defended and fortifications.,

Marine infantry divisions will be pared from 20,854 to 18.910 men and all weapons and equipment. which cannot be redesigned for airlift. will be withdrawn from assault ele- ments. Firepower will be increased with more mortars and rocket artillery able to deliver an atomic warhead

Retaining the present, command organization. the three battalions of each of the three regiments will have four companies instead of three. Tanks will be replaced in the division by a battalion of the new Ontos, a fast moving vehicle carrying six 106 mm re- coiless anti-tank guns. Discarding 50 per cent of the

heavy trucks in favor of a 220 per cent hike in the number of jeeps, the dead-weight tonnage of a division's equipment combat - loaded aboard ship will be more than cut in half.

Varied Activities Set for Armed Forces Day The military forces in Hawaii,

ith cooperation and assistance -om civilian leaders in the corn-

-nunity, have a full day of "Power or Peace" activities on Armed

rtes Day. May 18.

And on Sunday. May 19. Terri- nal church-goers will join to- ther in a common prayer for Di- e assistance in keeping our arm-

forces strong. so that their Power for Peace" may continue to eep the country free.

Saturday's festivities will begin at 9 a.m. with a parade along Ala Moana boulevard, which will include men and equipment from each of the services and local organizations, such as, ROTC. the Civil Air Patrol and the Ameri- can Red Cross. Thirteen thou- sand men will march and 18 bands will play.

Ala Moans Park will serve as a "showcase" for all types of ' military equipment from planes to rifles. A demonstration of modem "firepower" will be given by the 25th Division as they fire all shapes and sizes of weapons into the sea. . This year marks the tenth anniversary of service unification, and static displays of the modern weapons in the arsenals of the services will remain open to the public from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Another attraction for the day

will be a double-header baseball game between service teams in Ho- nolulu stadium, Barber's Point tangles with Hawaii Air Force at 1 p.m. The second game will feature the continued rivalry of SubPao and the Hawaii Marines.

Rolekole Pass, the scenic route between Lus.lualei and Schofield Barracks, will be open to the pub-

lic on Armed Forces Day. This pass is rarely open to non-military persons due to strict security regulations of the adjacent naval ammunition depot. There will be no air show or air-

, craft flyovers this year due to a directive from Washington which cancelled this type of event for economy reasons.

Armed Forces Day celebration on Oahu will some to a close with a Servicemen's dance at the Maluhia Club at Fort DeRussy and parties for civilian guests at officers' clubs on most military reservations. Open houses Ida be held on the

other islands. The Navy is sending ships to Hilo. Hawaii: Kahului, Maui; Kaunakakai, Molokai and

Kauai. Open house will also be held aboard several Naval ships in Honolulu harbor.

Education at Your Finger-Tips COMPILED BY BRIGADE EDUCATION OFFICE

DO YOU WANT TO-do a better job as a Marine or Sailor? To prepare yourself for a particular job when you return to civilian life? To continue your education while in military service? If your answer is YES to any of these questions, then you will want to see your Unit

tEducation Officer right away. about the MCI, MCS or USAFI Pro- grams and what they have to offer. Your Education Officer can help you become enrolled in any of these programs. You will find that a whole parade of educational opportunities marches before your ,:yes. opportunities that are in many ways greater than those available to you as a civilian.

You can take courses in Military Tactics. Business. Military Occupa- tional Specialties (MOS1, Scientific, Technical, _Mechanical, Industrial and Liberal Arts fields, anything from Accounting and Jet Engine Me- chanics to Zoology.

The Marine Corps Institute offers courses in Military Specialties which are directD related to the various MOS's in the Marine Corns permitting each individual to better acquaint himself with his duties and responsibilities and to prepare himself for nromotion tests in his occupational field. In addition the MCI offers several academic courses.

The Marine Corps and Navy are always on the lookout for men who can be promoted to responsible jobs. So. if you keep adding to your educational background by completing courses. you prepare yourself to take advantage of these opportunities in the Service. Also the background. skills, and knowledge that you obtain through educational experience in the Service are valuable assets in civilian life. Thy are looked upon very favorably by promotion boards.

While many have learned the elusive fact that one's education is never completed, others have discovered aptitudes they never dreamed they possessed and have gained by developing these Ipti- tudes through education.

Beyond these rewards of course. are all the other benefits that come with education-a fuller understanding and enjoyment of what is good in life. a greater ability to serve your fellow men and a greater ability to make your valuable contribution to our Nation.

Let's take a closer look at the functions of USAFI. The aim of USAFI is to give you an opportunity to continue your education with the best materials available while you are serving your country. This educational service costs you far less than similar education would cost a civilian. For a $2.00 fee you may enroll in your first USAFI course, and you may continue to take other courses without additional cost if your progress is satisfactory. The records of all USAFI courses and 'ests completed are kept at

USAFI Headquarters, Madison Wisconsin. Upon request, these records are made available to schools and other civilian agencies for accredita- tion.

There are about 250 elementary. high schools, technical, vocational, and college courses that may be taken directly from USAFI. In addition, there are approximately 2.500 course offerings available through USAFI from Extension Divisions of leading colleges and universities under Government Contract. USAFI is under the direct supervision of the Offce of Armed Forces

Information and Education Department of Defense. however. USAFI is ess_ntiallv a civilian type educational organization. The policies and pro- cedu :es under which USAFI operates result from recommendations mule 'o:7tly by civilian educators and military leadet-s working as a Unit on the Armed Forces Education Program Commit0e.

USAFI offers a number of types of tests. and testing services which may help you to obtain credit for your knowledge and experience, and which may assist you in furthering your education. The types of tests available from USAFI are:

End of Course Tests Tests of General Education Development (GED), Clllege Level Tests of General Education Development (GED (,High School

Level Subject Examinations USAFI Achievement Tests II (for grades 4, 5. and 6) USAFI Achievement Tests III for grades 7. 8. and 9)

You ma take any of the above tests flee of charge, and need not be enrolled in a ISAFI course in order to be eligible for testing. It is recommended. however, that you apply for tests for which you have had training or experience.

K-BAY KIBITZER by Bradley

There was an accident here at K-Bay Saturday that should serve as

a bit of a warning to those adventurers who tend to ignore signs or

take an obvious risk. Regardless of all of the details, four Marines were

on Ulupau Head while off duty. One slipped and fell off a cliff into

the ocean. The fall was nearly 150 feet. The man's body has never

been recovered. It's certain that with a little more care, caution or common sense

this wouldn't have happened. The chain of circumstances didn't get much better for a couple of

hours after the accident, either. One man dove in after his buddy. He

risked his life. The other two men apparently attempted to assist,

futilely, rather than immediately call for aid. Valuable time was lost.

Here's another lesson for anybody caught in similar circumstanes. The reason I bring this up is that we all tend to get careless at times

-or take unnecessary risks. An incident like this, unfortunate as it is

should at least serve as a forceful warning to others. From a moment's thoughtlessness, many lose; a man his life. a wife

her husband, a father and mother their son, the Corps a trained Ma- rine. Perhaps the most important point is that nobody gained. No

cause was served; no enemy slain; no objective taken. So from this

trag:- examnle I le to think that at least somebody may have bene-

*itted to the exte of learning a lesson that might save another life.

While I haven't seen i4 yet, I understand that the giant May issue

of Leatherneck Magazine has a fine story about the Brigade air-grou team and that it is virtually the feature story. The Leatherneck 'seam

of MSgt. Wells and TSgt. Suhosky was here in February gathering the material.

A ago Sunday the Honolulu Advertis-r gave he 1st Marine B-:,,de a +-...rrif:c two-page spread in the Sunday supplement, Hawaii Weekly. Even had a color picture cn the cover, in case you didn't see t.

The June issue of OFF DUTY is scheduled to feature the Brigade- Air Station with what is expected to be about a I ,500-word ;tory. This

publication is issued semi-annually and is distributed free to all quarters on the i ;land and to passengers coming to the :stands o^ MSTS

I heard this week that some thorough burglars stole six cases of whiskey from a Boston restaurant-and a bartender's guidebook on

how to mix cocktails.

Barring unfcrseen incident, the first Pali Puka should be opened officially tomorrow, with due ceremony. This wio be a tremendou.:, boo, to everybody on this side of the Kooiaus eve, at this early stage c: developm'ant when traffic going to Honolulu will use the tunnels and traffic coming to the Windward side will travel the old road.

But this will certainly be a big hero and should tend to interest more

oeeple in this side of the island. When al! of the tunnels and approach oad; are completed a trip to the big city should be a cinch.

If you think the job of pushing the tunnel bores through the moun-

tain and of bui:ding the approach road out over space is quite an

accomplishment, think what construction of the old road must have

been in its day_

By the way, if you want to see the opening ceremonies, :.uch as the

.-ibb.3n-cutt;ng and the "Pageant of Pali Progress" in transportation. giva some thought to pooling transportation. There will be parking areas but there certainly won't be any space to spare.

K-Bay Commissary Windward Side

To Limit Service Annual Training

During Site Shift set for Reserves

The Marine Corps Resene 15th

Patrons of the K-Bay commissary should prepare themselves for a temporary disruption in services during the move of the commissary from Bldg. 461, near the golf course, to the new site. Bldg. 374. near Crescent Circle, it was announced last week.

The commissary is scheduled to reopen on the new site Saturday, June 1, at 9 am.

The schedule of closure for the commissary is as follows: Frozen food sales from May 21 through 31: Produce. dairy goods and chil- led meat from May 24 through 31; the entire store from May 26 through 31.

When the store reopens, it will have moved into much more spacious quarters offering a minimum of congestion. Shoppers will not meet with the congestion near the check- out counters. as new conveyor-belt type units are being installed.

MCAS Bulletin 10116 asks patrons to extend their indulgence and cooperation" while the move is effected. The bulletin also suggests that customers purchase additional food supplies which will be required to carry their families through the temporary shutdown.

Originally scheduled to re-open May 15, the delay is due to late delivery of new equipment

Infantry Bn. will conduct annua! cfield training from June 15 through '29 at the Kaneohe Marine Corns Air Station, Bellows Field. and Wai- kane. During this period, the bat-

! talion will be supported by person- ,

nel and equipment of the 1st Mariae Brigade, FMF.

The annual training will be conducted in two phases. The first phase opens June 15 with marks- manship training at K-Bay and field firing of all weapons organic to the battalion at Waikane. Bel- lows Field will be the site of training in phase two which begins June 21. Small unit maneuvers will be conducted. culminating -9 an amphibious landing to close the two-week tour. Training at Bellows Field is slatec'

to include the employment of helicopters. as well as LVT's.

About 50 Marine Reservists %Yil .

undergo intensive training in bask military subjects. These men ar classified as recruits. They are personnel who haven't been in the Re- serve long enough to complete basi instruction at weekly drills.

The annual field training is expected to draw about 15 officers an 250 enlisted men.

And Functions of HQMC Detail Branch BY MSGT. ROY G. CARBINE

"We try our best to serve you, or we have failed our mission."

So averred Lt. Col. Andrew M. Zimmer, from Detail Branch, Per-

sonnel Dept., Marine Corps Headquarters, Washington, during a

series of briefings of Brigade and Station Staff NCOs lest Thursday and Friday.

Lt. Col. Zimmer lectured at four different two-hour periods in whit

Lt. Col. Zimmer said that "in the last analysis, it is the Staff NCO who issues the orders And

sees that the job is done," and emphasized the importance of Staff NCO leadership in the Ma- rine Corps. In this vein, he ex- olained that the Marine Corps was the only one of the Armed Forces that had an enlisted man serving in the personnel planning division at the Washington level. Outlining the efforts of the En-

listed Detail branch to effect. by name assignment. the largest number of transfers according to the desires of Staff NCOs, as indicated on fitness reports. Lt. Col. Zimmer hu- morously depreciated the "dart board" theory which he said is heir' by many.

writing letters. through channels, regarding future duty assignments. Assignments are made almost ex- clusively from desires expressed on fitness reports.

Regarding so-called "twilight cruises." it is the desire of HQMC to accommodate senior NCOs on the eve of their transfer to the Fleet Reserve or retirement. But service needs must again be considered first, Lt. Col. Zimmer.explained. General interpretation of a twilight cruise. he said. was a

First TurboCatapult Developed ftlfAany Sen 'icemen 14th Marine Atomic Exercise Brigade To Launch High-Speed Aircraft

A revolutionary new method of launching high speed aircraft from short airfields was announced last week by the Navy. The new method was introduced at All American Engineering Company's test facilities in Georgetown, Del., where piston engine and jet aircraft have been launched from the world's first turbine powered catapult. The system has been developed primarily for use by Marine aviation in the early stages of amphibious operations.

In a series of tests before U. S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics ob- servers, Navy aircraft, boosted by the turbo-catapult have been launched into the air in less than one-fifth of their normal take-off runs.

Powered by six jet engines, the '

turbo-catapult develops 60,000 horsepower but can be dismantled The development of the turbo- with comparative ease and trans- catapult was the result of the five ported by air to fields where it is years' research work conducted by needed. !All American, under contract to the

First pilot to be launched from the turbo-cat was Joseph Bark- ley, an AAE test pilot. flying an AD-4NA.

BI-directional In design, the six jet engines are arranged in a circle with the exhaust gases flowing into central launching turbines that drive a drum cable system mounted on the same drive shaft. With the jet engines set at predetermined RPM the flow gate is actuated, diverting the mass flow of power exhaust gases into one of the launching turbines which supplies power to the aircraft thrqugh the drum cable system. This makes it pos- sible for the aircraft to attain flying speed long before it could be reached utilizing its own power solely. The drum cable system drives a

WASHINGTON - Some 20,000 servicemen have failed to cancel premium waivers on permanent. plan GI insurance, according to the Defense Department. Although motet of these policyholders in the Armed Forces now have premium allotments, the waiver must be ter- minated to be eligible for the higher payments of the new Sur- vivor Benefits Act.

This waiver, through which the "pure risk" portion of the premium on permanent plan insurance has been refunded annually, must be cancelled voluntarily by the individual on VA Form 9-5782. Under the act, Public Law 881,

if a serviceman dies after April 30. 1957, while he has any GI life insurance in force on waiver, no dependency and indemnity compensation will be paid to his sur- vivors.

A recent survey of government insurance accounts re- veals that approximately 25 per cent of the permanent plan policyholders have not notified the Veterans Administration to ter- minate their waiver. While establishment of an al-

lotment cancels this waiver on term insurance, this does not hold true on a permanent plan policy.

These programs and projects, to be conducted by scientific and technical personnel of the Armed Services and their labora- tories, have been planned and co- ordinated under the technical guid- ance and supervision of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project.

The 1.7. S. Army, in addition to participating with the Special Wea- pons Project in the military effects experiment. will conduct a series of atomic weapons training exercises and troop tests involving about 2.100 troops.

The Department of the Navy will test the effects of weapons upon various types of equipment, and the Marine Corps will conduct a combined air-ground exercise as part of the Desert Rock training program. About 2.500 Marines will take

part as a helicopter-borne battalion landing team engages in a furthar test and evaluation of the Corps' established doctrine of "vertical envelopment." Brig. Gen. Harvey C Tschirgi commands the 4th Ma- rine Corps Provisional Atomic Ex- ercise Brigade which will conduct the exercise.

SecDef Gives Stand

On Pay Proposal WASHINGTON - Secretary of

Defense Charles E. Wilson says he does not intend to throw the Cordiner Committee recommendations "overboard."

Despite the fact that proposed pay legislation based on the study has failed to clear the Bureau of the Budget. he said he is trying to "understand the temper" of what can be done during this session of Congress.

Mr. Wilson conceded to news- men at his latest press conference that he is not as optimistic about getting a pay bill enacted this year as he had been previously.

Windward Scouts Hold Camporee Here The Kaneohe Marine Corps Air

Station became the scene of scouting activity for the second weekend in a row with the ar- rival last Friday of 350 Boy Scouts and adult leaders.

Eighteen Scout troops from Windward Oahu took part in an encampment situated in the Ft. Hase recreation area near Kailua Bay. Their camp was christened "Camp Cram" in honor of Col. Jack R. Cram, CO, MCAS. Hosting the camporee was Troop 225 which is sponsored by Fleet Reserve As- sociation. Branch 174, located at K-Bay.

Friday night, the Windward Scouts formally opened the camporee with a large bonfire and music played by the 1st Marine Brigade .)rum and Bugle Corps. Following the music and ceremonies, the Scouts participated in skits and stunts.

Undaunted by an early morning chill. the Boy Scouts went swim-

ming shortly after dawn Saturday morning. The remainder of the morning from 8 a.m. to noon. the boys demonstrated their camping skills on the "Adventure Trails", a series of field problems in Scouting and camperaft.

The "Adventure Trails" consisted of eight stations. At each of these stations the Scouts were tested in their skill and ability to handle

emergency first aid. use of a com- pass, life saving. and trail blazing.

Scouts receiving "proficient" scores for camp inspections and "Adventure Trails" will be eligible to attend the Aloha Council Cam- porall being held at Schofield Bar- racks in July.

A spokesman for the Windward district said there was close to one hundred per cent participation in

tire Cordiner proposal to revamp the military pay structure could not be implemented without "seem- ingly" giving everyone in the service a wage increase. which would be considered inflationary.

The Director of the Budget made no recommendations in turning down the new pay legislation, he said.

Varsity Swimmers Cop AAU Swim Title MERMEN SCORE 99 POINTS, SET 7 RECORDS; Baseball Team Tops SubPac FIRST ISLE SERVICE TEAM TO WIN CROWN

To Gain Tie For 1st Place By CPL. BILL EASTBURN

The Marines toppled SubPac from the unbeaten ranks in Hawaii Major baseball play Wednesday and moved into a first place deadlock in HMBL league standings as they waxed the Raiders 7-2 at Rise ley Field here. The Leatherneck victory shaved SubPac's Inter-Service league margin to three games. It was the third loss of the season for the Raiders, and for winning hurler Jack Vail, the victory was sweet home run scored Dick Brady who vengence. It was on the same field earlier in the season that Vail lost to the Raiders by an 18-1 tally.

In dropping their third tilt of the season, all of which came at the hands of Hal Glasgow's Leatherneck nine, the Raider's dream of but two losses went by the boards. In a pre-season burst of optimism, Jocko Little, the SubPac manager, predicted that his club wodild lose only two con- tests during the 72-game schedule.

Home runs by Hal Norton and Ed Olsen sparked a barrage of 10 hits off two SupPac moundsmen. Bud Meecham, the Raider starter, was trapped for eight hits in the first five frames, while Tom Jung- man, the reliefer, was nicked for two bingles.

Norton's homer came in the first inning with bases empty and Olsen slammed a soaring 400-footer squarely over the scoreboard in deep center for a two-run tally in the fifth with Jack Keller aboard. Al Bullock and George Uremo-

vich each collected a double. while Norton swept game batting honors with a brace of doubles plus his circuit clout. One of Norton's two- baggers came in the third and the second bounded out of the park to score Jack Vail in the sixth.

Though plagued by a rash of boils. Vail whiffed 10 Sub Pac batters while sprinkling six hits to fashion his triumph. The big port- sider showed blazing speed in putting the Raiders down while giving up three walks. Vail. who leads the league in

strikeouts, was never in trouble after the second stanza. Seven Raider tallies died on base with a runner left in every 'frame except the second and sixth.

Improving his control with each inning. Vail stumped the Raiders with an occasional "submarine" delivery which seemed to origi- nate someplace near first base. SubPac's two runs came in the

second stanza on Al Nagel's homer over the left field wall. Nagel's

led off the inning with a single to short right field and made first base on Charlie Smith's bobble of a bad hop.

The win over SubPac was the fourth this week for the Marines. Last Sunday they slaughtered the Asahis at Honolulu Stadium and Tuesday they beat Pearl Harbor Navy at Ward Field 8-2. While results were not available

at press time, the Leathernecks were scheduled for a return tilt with Navy at Ward Field last night.

Marine Track Team Wins At Schofield

By PFC. CHARLES KANE The Hawaii Marines track team scored a total of 641/2 points to

win the team title in the Schofield Invitational Meet held at Stoneham Field, Schofield Barracks last Friday night. The host 25th Division was second with 591/2 points, Hickam AFB third with 381/, followed by the University of Hawaii with 18 and the Honolulu Spikesters with 5 points.

In all. six records were broken and one established during the hotly contested meet.

Marine competitors placed in but two of the 17 ?vents on the arogram. scoring four firsts and six second place finishes. Curtis Jones of the Marines set a

new record in the 100 yd. dash when he came from "nowhere" in the ast 20 yards to win by inches in 9.3 sec. He later ran a virtual dead heat with Stan Smalley of the 25th in the 220 yd. dash but the eyelash de- cision went to Smalley. The time was a fast 21.5. Robert ifartin was third in the 100 and fourth in the 220 yd. dash.

George Ray, Leatherneck coach. established a record in the two mile run with a 20 yard victory. setting a new mark of 10:09 sec. This was the first running of the event in the Schofield :meet. Vince Jaswinski won the javelin

with a throw of 186'8" with team - mate Frank Wolcott in second place

Gary for the 43'14".

Willie Brown ran second to - dier Perry Harper's record smash- ing effort in the 440. "Boxed in" for most of the race, Willie cut Harper's lead in half whea he finally cut loose, but he couldn't quite catch up. Brown also gar- nered second in the hop, step and jump with an effort of 41'9", two inches short of the winning dis- tance. lie also tied for third in the high jump with teammate George Wall and later anchored .he Ma-

Wheeler won the Marines with a

shot put heave of

vines' second place mile relay team. Ralph Abrego aided the cause

when he leaped 5'10" to tie for second place in the high jump, scorirw some valuable points by dcing .;o

Harold Henry. a converted miler. rai third for the Marines in the 880 yd event and was no more than a yard behind the winner at the finish.

The Hawaii Marines Swim Team amassed a total of 99 points and

broke seven of their own records to become the first Armed Force' s candidate to win the Senior Men's championship of the annual Hawaiian AAU Indoor Swimming and Diving Meet.

The Leathernecks' 28 point victory over the favored Hawaii Swim Club ended HSC's six year domi- nation of the local classic which was held this year at the University of Hawaii's pool last Friday and Saturday nights.

Lee Holmes. Bob Kenny, and swimmer-coach Ivar Svenson _scored 16, 15, and 10 points, re- spectively, to lead the Marines over the eight team field, which was studded with such stars as Olympic performers Wally Naka- moto and George Onekea. Second place HSC with 71 points

was followed by the U of H. 35

points; Palama Swim Club. 24

points; Punahou. 12 points; Hilo Swim Club. 6 pOints; Hickam AFB. 4 points; and the Army's 25th Di- vision with one point.

In the trials. Tuesday and Wed- nesday. Marine mermen placed men for 31 places in 12 of the 14

men's senior events establishing five new Hawaii Marine records the process.

Clarence Holt initiated the on- slaught on the record book by churning to a new mark of 5:18.2 in the 440 yard freestyle. In the 440 yard freestyle relay. Clarence Holt, Bob Axt, Lee Holmes and John Manion teamed up to record a time of 3:50.8 to break the old standard by over two seconds. In a thrilling heat of the 100 yard breaststroke Allan Wakinekona and Bob Kenny raced to a first place tie, establishing a record of 1:10.6 in this event. Swimmer- coach Ivar Svenson posted a time of 2:51.5 in the 220 yard butterfly. and the 400 yard medley relay team of Kenny. Holmes. Manion and Bill Austin was timed in 4:.0 to complete the Ma- rines' trial record performances. Not being satisfied with their

efforts in the trials. the Leather- necks came back on Friday and Saturday nights to establish three more marks.

In the 100 yard breaststroke Wai- 1-inekona and Kenny locked in another tight duel with Wakinekona finishing a stroke ahead of his teammate with a new time of 1.09.5. However. Kenny retaliated by breaking his old mark in the 400 yard individual medley by a full 24 seconds with a record shatter- ing 5:26.0 performance. Lee Holmes followed suit by posting a time of 1:03.8 in the 100 yard butterfly to break Kenny's old standard of 1:06.3 which was set earlier thl.: year.

Almost overlooked. due to the furor caused by their teammates' record breaking feats. were the deeds of such stellar Marine Per- formers as "Skeets" Shimizu. Reg Ridgely, Ted Bodnar, Chuck Dreyer and Jim Healy. Reg Ridge- ly and Jim Healy finished second and third behind Olympic :Aar Wally Nakamoto in the three me- ter event. Another Olympic star. George Onekea, copped she '

yard freestyle to over-shadow the fine pErformances of Shimizu and Dreyer who finished second and fifth. repectively in the same event. Ivar Svenson accepted the prized

championship trophy on behalf of the Hawaii Marines and his happY team responded by Eicher= o time-honored tradition and depos.- ed the fully clothed coach into tl..e

pool.

Little League

Dragons Snap Giants' Win Streak; Trail League Leaders by 2 Games

G-ay Hutchinson pitched and batted the 4th Marines Dragons to an upset victory over the undefeated 1st Marine Brigade Giants last .eek to highlight MCAS Little League activity. Hutchinson's fine per - 'ormance occurred in the second game of a twin-bill last Saturday.

In the most exciting Little League contest thus far this season Gray gave up only three hits and belted a home run in the Dragons' big fourth inning with one teammate aboard to knock aft Giants from the undefeated ranks. Losing pitcher Gafua Fia gave up only four hits but one of them was Hutchin- son's big homer.

Other results of the week's league action are as follows:

Thursday, May 2

Dragons 4-Skyraiders 0

Winning hurler Rod Nicola pitched shut-out ball and also kne-uel in two Dragon runs by virtue of a triple with two mates on base to lead the Dragons to their seventh league victory. Ni- cols struck out eight and gave up only three hits in fashioning his ""inning effort. Jot- Go(pdre.an led the winners with two hits in four trips. Losing pitcher Randy Jou- bert led 'Raider hitting by belt- ing out two of the Skyraiders three hits.

Saturday. May 4

Skyraiders 7-flyers 2

In this tilt, seven Flyer errors proved to be the deciding factor. Losing pitcher Larry Cushman gave up only five hits but his team- rrates failed to provide him with

fensive support. Winning hurler Tolia S o l i t a

reea.sured out just three hits and s'rack out seven 'Raider batsmen. Bill Titterud of the Flyers banged out two hits in as many attempts,

while five Skyraiders got one apiece.

Only luck and skillful steering nrevented major damage to her hull. As it is. some patching will be required and the rudder. propeller group may need replacing.

Fortunately, too. Special Services is beneficiary on a life and injury insurance policy for "Aku," so re-. nair work should be completed in time to take advantage of the better diving conditions of late spring

Two radically new items of skin diving equipment are now on th- market and samples are being tested by the Aku-Marines. One is ar inexpensive underwater communi- cation device called an "Aqua - 'hone" which sells for somethin;.; ender S5 at most retail outlets. Per-

manently attached to a SCUBA mouthpiece, the phone permits modified conversation for distances up to 7 feet and shouts up to 50 feet. While these distances are not considered great on land. they repre- sent a great increase over normal underwater hearing ranges.

A new SCUBA regulator, smaller and fewer parts, is also on the market. Called the "Fro," it sells for just about half the price of most regulators. yet is rated to perform as reliably as larger, more bulks models. The reduction in size would in itself be a real advantage to div- ers who are troubled with the large regulator restricting movement of the head.

See by Rod and Gun columns f7:

other station newspapers that, with spring upon us. fishermen on the Mainland are all charged to wet a

line. Makes one consider our year- round deep sea and fresh water fisn- ing here in the Islands in comnari- son. Don't guess there's anywhere Marine can be stationed that offer the variety of not only fishing. but hunting. also, that Hawaii does.

With this fact in mind, the Kane- ohe Rod and Gun Club has dis- patched a letter to all other state- side clubs outlining the hunting and fishing possibilities here and recommending Marines being transferred to the Islands make sure they bring their guns and fishing gear with them.

The news will come as a pleasant surprise to many hunters and fishermen who have no comprehension of the field. sea, and stream opportunities available here.

Naval Institute

Notes Anriversary;

Invites Members Upon the occasion of the 83rd

anniversary of the U.S. Naval In- stitute, the Board of Control (com- posed of Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers) would like to reaffirm its personal conviction of the '_mportance of the Institute to the sea-going services and to the country at large, according to a memorandum from Institute Vice President Rear Adm. W. R.. Smell - burg Da.

Since its founding in 1873 by an outstanding group of officers, the Institute has provided a forum and sounding board for thoughts of its members and leading military writers in the world. It has kept the general public informed of what the Navy, M -'ne Corps, and Coast Mard are doing and thinking. It is increasingly expanding its mission of collecting and dis- seminating professional. literary, and scientific knowledge to the seagoing services.

In recent years the membership of the Institute has increased at a remarkable rate. From around 21.000 members in 1952, the total membership reached a figure of about 40.000 by the end of 1956. This would seem to reflect a grow- ing interest in the value of the In- stitute and its monthly magazine the U. S. Naval Institute PRO- Caata.)INGS.

From a recent survey taken on various ships and stations it was determined that most of the enlisted men did not realize that they were eligible for associate membership in the Institute. Many of them expressed a keen desire to become members. Adm. Smedburg said.

Accordingly. the Board of Con- trol of the U. 8. Naval Institute would like to invite the attention of all enlisted men of the U. S. Navy. Marine Corps. and Coast Guard to the fact that they may become associate members in their own professional society.

Annual dues for membership in the U. S. Naval Institute are about S3.00'which include. at no additional charge. a year's subscription to the monthly magazine. U. S. Naval Institute PROCEEDINGS.

rents and parents-in-law who ac-

tually do not reside with members of the Armed Forces have been

declared eligible for medical at-

tention at service hospitals. Prior to a recent interpretation

phasizes. however, that these de-

pendents do not qualify for treat- ment in civilian hospitals or 1:19
