For Health, 'Crusade'

Dual Fund Drive Kicks - off Today

Kaneohe Bay's firs fund raising campaign of 1960 kicked-off this morning with both Station and Bri- gade "keymen" laying the ground- work for ultimate 100 per cent unit contributions.

The drive, which combines both the National Health Agencies and Joint Crusade campaigns, begins today and ends Feb. 15.

At separate pre-campaign rallies, NIaj. Leland C. Ritter. Station Drive Coordinator, and Brigade Co- ordinator, Maj. Daniel B. Hunter, outlined the conduct of the 1960 appeal to various department chair- men.

At the Si...tion rally held on Thursday, Maj. Ritter told the de- partment chairmen that one key- man would be assigned for each 25 persons.

Major Hunter, meeting with vari- ous Brigade chairmen yesterday, in- dicated that, for campaign purposes, the 1st Radio Company would be included in the overall Brigade ap- peal.

Both officers stressed the fact that the 1960 appeal could only be successful if the keymen initiated a system of personal contacts, striv- ing for all-out unit contributions.

Island-wise, both Maj's Hunter and Ritter were in attendance at a gigantic kick-off rally at Marine Barracks Theater, Naval Base, Pear! Harbor on Jan. 7.

They, as well as various other 14th Naval District coordinators were briefed by RAdm. Edward A. Solo- mans, 14th Naval District Com- mandant.

The Admiral indicated that the District's National Health Agencies drive would only include the Amer- ican Cancer Society. American Heart Association, and the National Society for Crippled Children. He said that the agencies which have

JETS' PLANNED TRANSPAC HOP

According to a mid-week an- nouncement, eight Kaneohe Day Fury jets were scheduled to begin a trans-Pacific hop to the Naval Air Station, Alameda. Calif., this morning.

The jets, all from MAG-13's two attack squadrons, VMA-212 and 214, were originally scheduled to make the trans-Pac hop on Monday. Erratic head winds fore- cast through Thursday, caused the cancellation until this morn- ing, MAG officials stated. The new schedule called for two

jets from VMA-212 to depart at 7

am. this morning and two more to- morrow morning at the same time. On Sunday morning, two aircraft from VMA-214 will leave and two more of the squadron's planes will wind-up on Monday.

All aircraft are slated to arrive at Alameda at approximately noon (Hawaiian time) on their respective days of departure. In December, four MAO -13 pilots

made history by "trans-Pac-ing" to Alameda - marking the first time that Station aircraft had flown that distance using the "buddy sys- tem" for refueling.

Big Island Camp Closes; '60 Plans Still Indefinite

Kilauea Military camp will be closed from Jan. 12 through Feb. 9.

No LST transportation will be available from now through late April. The vessel is undergoing in- spection and repair.

Military personnel may fly via MATS to Hawaii beginning Feb. 9 but dependents will be re- quired to fly commercial air until the LST is in operation.

No firm tour dates have as yet been established for Kilauea Mili- tary Camp during 1980 pending completion of LST repairs. Persons traveling by air can generally estab- lish tour dates to suit their con- venience.

Editor's Corner

.tetteu 94steiteil ( EDITOR'S ,NOTE - .411 too often it is easy to overlook

an important facet of our daily lives, our relationship with the communities surrounding the Station. Yet we here at Kaneohe Bay are fortunate in sharing an excellent under- standing and working relationship with our civilian neigh- bors as evidenced by the letter below.)

Editor, WINDWARD MARINE MCAS, Navy No. 990 Dear Sir:

A few days before Christmas a young Marine of my command was killed in a traffic accident. He left a widow and three small children with meager financial resources.

In assisting in the settlement of the widow's affairs in order that site might return to her family in the midwest by Christmas, we attempted to sell the wrecked vehicle for her. Unfortunately, the recovery and towing charges. rather extensive in this case since the car had gone over a cliff. equalled the salvage value of the wrecked automobile.

When informed of this and the widow's circumstances. Mr. Steffy, of Steffy's Shell Service Station in Kailua. very graciously endorsed to the widow his check for recovery and toning services. This was a particularly generous act on his part because the recovery of the vehicle had required two tow trucks and three men several hours' time on a busy Friday evening. This command and the Marines on the Windward side are

very appreciative of such gesture of consideration and good will on the part of our local civilian neighbors and believe such acts of friendship should not go unnoticed.

Sincerely, /s/ J. S. HUDSON

Colonel, USMC Commanding Officer Service Battalion, 1st Marine Brigade

HAWAII'S TAGS

ARE OPTIONAL

FOR K-BAYITES Kaneohe Bay service personnel

were reminded late last week that, while they do have an option, they will be required to make a decision prior to obtaining 1960 automobile registration in the State of Hawaii

Registrations are now being is- sued at the Honolulu City Treas- urer's Office In City Hall. Dead- line for registration is March 31.

Those military personnel desir- ing to renew their home state plates should contact the Honolulu treas- urer's office to receive a Hawaii permit to drive while waiting for plates from the mainland.

It is necessary to obtain a tax exempt certificate, signed by the commanding .off ice r, verifying legal state of residence before a permit to drive will be issued to personnel using other than Ha- Wait 'rtes.' Motorists operating vehicles with

mainland plates have 30 days fol- lowing expiration of their current plates in which to register their ve- hicles in Hawaii.

Those applying for vehicle reg- istration after the deadline will be assessed a fine of 10 per cent.

Mail applications for registration will be processed throughout the registration period. However, those applying for the first time to reg- ister a vehicle in Hawaii must make application in person.

One city official offered three tips to speed-up registrations: 1)

Search Continues For Wearers Of

'Unsafe' Watches Station officials re-emphasized

their search for wearers of possibly radio-active wristwaches early this week following four "contacts" from Camp Smith's FMFPac.

Of the four persons requesting "watch-checks" at MAG-13's S-3 office, one owned one of the missing, radio-active w a tche s. The time-piece was immediately turned in to Wichman's Jewelers in Waikiki. According to the S-3 office, the

search was originally kicked-off after a discovery that an unknown number of Swiss watches (Rolex GMT "OYSTER"), recently shipped to military exchanges, contained fission products which emit gamma radiation.

To date, three watches have been discovered at Kaneohe Bay.

While it was not known how many of the original batch were radio-actively u n s a f e, officials warned that approximately 600 sold to military personnel are still not accounted for.

A person wearing one of the affected watches may receive from one-half to double the maximum permissable exposure to hands and forearms. Any person owning a watch of

A recent Saturday morning ride found 15 riders making the col- orful trip. Personnel wishing to make this ride are warned that this program is on a "first come, first served" basis; no reservations are taken.

IC-BAY RIDES For those who wish to take short-

er rides, there are on-Station trail rides. Two or more riders are re- quired for these because, in all cases, one of the stable personnel is required to accompany each group of riders as a guide.

The Saturday morning ride is also one of the best bargains a rider can find these days, with a price of $3 per person.

Another good deal offered by

this Special Services facility are chit books which sell for S5. These entitle the holder to 10 one-hour rides plus a half-hour of riding instruction. Military personnel and their de-

pendents, however, may still pay for individual rides at the rate of 50-cents per hour. These patrons are also reminded that the stables offer a one-hour free tide to all personnel on their birthdays.

Aliens Must Report'

At cress, Other lac,

N:r To Jan, 31st Officials of the Immigration and

Naturalization Service reminded 'Kaneohe Bay Marines this week that during the month of January all alien members of the Marine Corps must report their addresses.

The Immigration and Nation- ality Act of 195? provides that every alien who Is in the United States on Jan. 1 must report his address to the Immigration and Naturalization Service during that month.

Alien members of the Marine Corps should go to a United States Post Office or Immigration Office and obtain an alien address report card. fill it in, sign their names and deliver the cards to a postal clerk or immigration employee. The serv- ice man should not mail the card himself.

Kaneohe Bay postal officials assured the WINDWARD MA- RINE this week that a large sup- ply of cards were on hand and any K-Bayite in this status should check with the Post Office for full details. In addition to the service-mem-

ber's address, each alien must re- port his nationality, place and date of entry into the United States, place and date of birth and, most important, his alien registration number. This number appears on his alien registration receipt card. which he is required to have in his possession at all times.

Should an alien lose the card, be can apply for a new one at the nearest Immigration Office. For the benefit of K-Bay Ma- rines who have lost their regis- tration receipt card, the nearest Immigration Office is at 595 Ala Moana Blvd., in Honolulu. Parents or guardians of alien

children under 14 are required to fill out address reports for such children.

In the event an alien willfully or inexcusably fails to report his ad- dress, he can be taken into custody and deported. In addition, a fine and imprisonment may be levied prior to deportation.

NOTIFYING UNSUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE

The Merit Promotion Program places considerable importance upon the proper and timely notification of unsuccessful candidates for pro- motion. At this activity, unsuccess- ful candidates are notified of their non-selection by individual nolk.e. If requested, they are also informed whether they were among those given final consideration for pro- motion.

Although such notification of un-

successful candidates _s required, selecting officials are not required to justify their selection decisions. The act of selection Is a manage- ment prerogative involving the ex- ercise of informed judgment cou- pled with responsibility for the con- sequences and, as such, is obviously not subject to review by subord- inates or other applicants (from OIR Newsletter, November-Decem- ber, 1959).

INCOME TAX BOOKLETS The Industrial Relations Depart-

ment has obtained several copies of the Internal Revenue Service book- let on the preparation of Federal income tax returns. This booklet, entitled "Your Federal Income Tax," contains detailed information on all aspects of Federal income tax. Copies of the booklet may be ob- tained on a loan bas's from IRD.

January each year.

This policy was established to as

sure that equal opportunity for em-

ployment is afforded all qualified

persons, and to prohibit discrimina- tion against any employee or appli- cant for employment because of race, color, religion or national ori- gin. This Policy prohibits the prac- tice of segregation for any reason.

This Policy is an integral part of the merit system, the backbone of Federal Civil Service. As such, it is a matter of interest and import to all employees.

Station Order 12075.1E and NCPI 75 conta.n detailed information on this Policy and the procedures for initiating and processing complaints of discrimination.

CANNONEERS, 2-4 TO SPLIT CG'S CUP By PFC FALL BASKIND

Cannoneers hid 2'4 will share the General's Cup for the latter half of 1959. This decision, anxiously awaited in local intramural circles, was finally disclosed by Special Services late last week.

Washing away the proposed sud- den-death football playoff for the trophy, Brigade Special Services re- por-r1 the tankard would be joint- ly embraced by the two units tied in points for first place-3 12 and 2'4. Each will keep it for three months.

"The Commanding General, act- ing on the advice from the Chief of Staff and the Athletic Council, de- cided the trophy will be awarded jointly to the two first place teams," Special Services said last Friday.

OFFICIALS BAFFLED Two weeks ago local athletic

officials were baffled as 3/12 and 2/4 were locked neck and neck with 151 points in the race for

the cup. ted in the trophy race after At that time Speclif Services results of intramural football

They indicated at that time that' the latter appeared more favorable but said, "The final answer with the General himself."

The 151 points each had scored marked the first time in Station history that two units were tied at the final count,

AWARDED SEMI-ANNUALLY

MORE APPROPRIATE "The final answer" being a

joint award, Special Services suggested the reason why this course was taken rather than the playoff.

"A co-championship was believed more appropriate since football counts for only one part of the trophy. By staging a sudden-death football playoff we would thus be undermining the other half of the award, baseball," they said.

Cannoneers and 2 4 became knot-

notch 10 points for the winner, none for the loser.

The majority of 3/12's points were scored as the result of an unbeaten 18-0) football record while the bulk of 2/4's total came in the wake of an impressive baseball season 19-31.

POINT BREAKDOWN Actual point breakdown is as fol-

lows: 3 12-60 points for football, 40 for baseball, 51 for rifle and piste'; 2'4-40 points for football. 70 for baseball, 41 for rifle and pis- tol.

Although they compete in the various Brigade-Station leagues, Pearl Harbor and Camp Smith are not in line for the trophy. By the same token, wins posted over

these units by local squads do not count. This accounts for 3/12's 60 points for football even though they had eight wins. The same applies to 2/4's 70 points for nine baseball victories.

WHO GETS IT FIRST? The question now is: Who will

get to keep the cup the first three months?

Latest reports indicate it is still being considered and probably won't be revealed until the an- nual athletic banquet on Jan. 28

at which time the trophy is tra- ditionally presented. On the other hand, reliable

sources say that 2/4 may get it first since they are slated to move into the field sometime next month.

Illoving Screen Legal

NEW INTRAMURAL RULES POINTED OUT BY REFEREE

A moving screen will he legal this season, a basketball official told a meeting of intramural cage coaches Monday.

Outlining new rules and re-emphasizing old ones, referee Bob Blaylock said a hall carrier will he permitted to have a moving block set up for him. And, he ',added, if the block comes in con- tact with a defensive man, the man defending will be charged with the foul

This rule is exactly opposite to what had been in effect until now. Before. If a man setting a screen for the ball carrier came in contact with a defender. he would be charged with a personal tad. Speaking before the annual pre-

season intramural basketball coaches meeting in the office of the Special Services Officer, Blay- lock further pointed out a new five- second forecourt rule.

The new regulation provides lths't if a team is leading and are in their own forecourt they must get rid of the ball in less than five seconds - if a defender comes within six feet of the ball carrier.

An the other hand, if he keeps the ball more than five seconds aft- er the defender moves into the six- foot radius, a jump ball will be called.

Other rides cited by Blaylock include:

11 Double fouls. Both offenders will he charged with a personal foul and a jump ball will be called. 2) Three-second bucket rule. If

a man is driving with the ball to- ward the basket the three-second rule is not applicable. Also. attack-

ing players must keep both feet outside line or ball will be awarded to defending team.

31 One-and-one rule. If a team has six fouls in either half, the seventh will call for one-and-one free throws. That is, if the shooter makes his first toss he gets a sec- ond bonus throw. In closing Blaylock called for

greater support from coaches in controlling unruly players.

CAN SERVICE BATTALION REPEAT.' As the line of serious, athletic young men streamed out the

Special Services Officer's door following the pre-season intra- mural basketball coaches meeting last Monday. we spotted Fred Hirschfield. Service Battalion's eager, new cage mentor.

"How're the champs shaping up this year. coach?" we asked. Without batting an eyelash. he bluntly said: -We're better

off heightwise. We've got more speed. And we've got a lot more optimism."

That is Hirschfield's capsule stimulation of the Supportmen quintet on the eve of the 1960 intramural hoop campaign.

It is his own analysis of the results I on paper 1 of weeks of fervent. almost desparate moves to rebuild a team which barely succeeded in snatching the title last year.

Before delving into Hirscbfield's comments a bit of back- ground should be supplied.

BEAT 3/4 IN SUDDEN DEATH PLAYOFF Service Battalion moved to the cage crown last March by

edging 3/4 in a sudden-death playoff 68.65. Third Battalion had held the loop lead until mid-February. with the Supportmen hotly breathing down its neck.

The lead seesawed hack and forth until the final two days with two upsets forcing the playoff. Al ith only two games left in the regular slate, 3/4 took sole possession of first place as underdog MCAS toppled Service Battalion 50-47. Then 2/4 rocked 3/4 to the tune of 56-54 to force the tie.

The question now is: How strong are the Supportmen this season? Are they powerful enough (as their coach professes1 to bounce back to the championship?

Perhaps Hirschfield is optimistic but on close examination there is quite a bit of evidence backing him up.

JUMP SHOZ.FRANK IS BACK Still present. ready for his second season, is

young Frank Gallager who certainly is a solid ci.tonter to start with.

61" jump shot artist, Frank is the only' returnee from last year's squad. If he can come through as he did last season I his 21 noints sparked the playoff win 1 Hirschfield has got a fine start.

Gallager Banked around Gallager are such hopeful,. as 6'4" center Willie Small. 5'11" guard Ed Heekin, 6'2" for- ward Rich Holman. 511" forward John Hull. 511" guard Dan Dougherty and 6'6" center Willie Hayes.

HIGH HOPES FOR NERCOMERS With these newcomers are hopes that: Small will blossom

into a high-scoring center; Heekin will recapture playmaking prowess which led him to cage fame at Denison (Ohio) U.; hopes that Holman will add point power under the boards; Hull will provide much-needed hustle and drive: and hopes that lanky Willie Hayes will learn to use his height to advantage.

These. of course. are hopes that only time will realize. At least the evidence does bear out Hirschfield's claims. The

Supportmen rio appear better off heightwise and reports indicate they have more speed. No one argues about the optimism.

An interesting question.

Sports Editorial

What is Little League Baseball? Last week it was learned that K-Bay Marines had graciously eon-

mted to sponsor the Kaneohe Little League Baseball program. They did so by promising to donate $2,400 after Little-Leaguers had been told they could no longer be underwritten by Special Services.

Now the question is: What is Little League Baseball? Little League Baseball is many things to many people. To the boy,

it is baseball adapted to his mental and physical capacities. To the adult, the neighborhood and the comunity, it is baseball with a pur- poseful character, encompassing the broad concepts of the American way of life.

Without motive and principle, Little League would be just another baseball program. From the outset, Little League has preserved an ideal that recognizes baseball under proper leadership as a character- building influence in the American boy. Complete understanding and le firm application of these principles are the essential element that make boys' baseball, Little League.

The program was designed for boys 12 years of age and under. It is regulation baseball tailored to meet the physical limitations of the age bracket. Notable exceptions to regulation baseball are the reduced size of the playing field, fewer Innings per game, and some standards of playing equipment.

In Little League, each boy learns some of the lessons of fair play, of discipline, of teamwork. He finds that the other boys, regardless of race, creed or color strive for the same common goals and this kind of thinking spreads from the boys to their families and thus to the communities.

Von Dyle, Tom Doyle and Larry Hunt, the Marines were runners- up In the 200-yard freestyle re- lay, the 200-yard butterfly and the 200-yard medley. A new Hawaii record was set

when the Hickam girls eight -and- under team of Debbie Barrett, Brenda Barrier, Jackie Hohrnan and Kittle Wahl swam the 100-yard freestyle relay in 1:14.1, tweaking the old mark of 1:15.7 set by the Barber's Point Swan Club last year.

The meet was directed by Lt. Col. Wesley C. Norco, who leaves next week for the mainland. Strong winds and heavy rains

failed to dampen the spirits of the some 600 entrants. Trial heats and finals were run off on Saturday, a change from original plans which called for finals on Sunday.

COMPOSER MERLE TRAVIS To Appear At 'E' Club Sunday

nday Night

Folk - Singer Merle Travis To Appear at

One of the top folk singers in the country will make a Kaneohe Bay appearance Sunday when Merle Travis, veteran Capitol recording star and composer, arrives for a one-night-stand at the "E" Club.

Travis, who wrote such favor- ites as "16 Tons," "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke," "Na Vacancy" and "Di- vorce Me C.O.D.," will headline a two-hour show which also in- cludes the Tilton Sisters, popular !ma! singers. The extravaganza gets underway at 8 p.m.

In addition to being a top singer, actor and composer, Travis is cred- ited with originating the unique "thumb and fingers" style VI guitar playing. The method is so univer- sally associated with him that it has been given a generally accepted title among musicians-the "Travis Style."

Travis' accomplishments in the folk field have been recognized by

Views, Designs and Policies Stated by Gen. D. M. Shoup

ern Pacific are properly there, and properly without dependents. I am even more firmly convinced that a tour of 15 months is too long. I am going to take every *teflon open to me to reduce the length of this tour and still main- tain 'our posture of determined readiness." Gen. Shoup spoke out against

continuing changes in non-combat type uniforms. "In general," he said, "I feel that a clean, neat, well- fated uniform with the Marllie Corps emblem is tops. There is no need for gimmicks and gadgets."

He emphasized, however, that de- velopment of improved combat clothing and equipment will con- tinue to be given "high priority action."

Calling for closer integration of staff functions at Headquarters Ma- rine Corps, the Commandant noted that during his last tour of duty at Headquarters, "we had seven dis- tinct personnel departments and a few fuzzy ones."

"Today," he went on to say, "I conclude that we have somewhere between one and one-half to two and one-half. Soon, I expect to have but one."

SPECIAL SERVICES 1

Gen. Shoup said he believes we now have "the best special services program in the history of the MI- rine Corps." He cited one "incon- sistency," however.

"It has been difficult for me to reconcile the fact," he said. "that we may at some posts and sta- tions spend several thousand dol- lars on a few men for a big time athletic team, with questionable spectator interest, and at the same station there are few places where a man can write a letter or read without leaving his home barracks or squadroom. He should not hare to sit on the edge of his bunk with improper lighting. Let's all take a resounding whack at improving this inadequacy."

MANPOWER Referring to the FY 1961 budget

estimate of funds to support a 175.- 000 -man Marine Corps, the Corn-

4 policy statement, the new Com- mandant called for:

Increased decentralization of authority to field commanders and less interference with staff officers in carrying out their assigned tasks.

GEN. DAVID M. SHOUP

Increased emphasis on indi- vidual Marine and small unit train- ing.

Upgrading of commanding gen- eral billets at MCSC, Albany, Ga., and MCSC, Barstow, Calif.. from brigadier general to major general.'.

Elimination of "inconsistencies" in personnel management policies dealing with professional and phys- ical examination of officers and NCO's.

More equitable distribution of manpower by exercising firmer HQMC control over personnel as- signment to individual commands, with less deferences to the de- sires and requests of individual commands and more emphasis on local training programs.

Continuing emphasis on strong Marine Corps Reserve.

Provision and maintenance of adequate, safe, and suitalile housing for Marine and essential civilian personnel at Marine Corps installations.

Continuing review of the com- position, equipping, and organiza- tion of the FMF, security forces. and the training base to insure op- timum readiness for today's com- bat missions and those of the fu- ture.

Establishment at all levels of command of "Inspector General" type inspections.

Gen. Shoup opened his Jan. 14

talk with this statement: "A few days ago, by taking the

oath of office. I accepted the chal- lenge inherent in the title of '22nd Commandant of the United States Marine Corps.' I personally assume every responsibility connect ed therewith. I am mindful of this great burden and I know that I cannot properly discharge these re- sponsibilities alone. I am indeed grateful for the highly professional character of our Marine Corps. It is upon this staff and my field commanders that I shall lean most heavily in the future to insure that the policies of my administration are intelligently implemented, ef- fectively executed, and consistently maintained in force."

The Commandant ended his talk with these words:

"It is good to feel the grips of

the plow in my hands. I have every confidence that wYsh both the reg- ular establishment and the reserve forces in direct support, the furrow will be straight and true and the years ahead for the Marine Corps will be ones of progress and accom- plishment."
