Top stories of 1970 at White Sands Missi le Range
.
New CG, 25th anniversary
among
by
Ed White
A new commanding general,
military construction contracts
totaling nearly $2.6 million, and
the 25th anniversary of the post
were the top stories as White
sands Missile Range gingerly
stuck its toe into the first year
of the 1970 decade.
Other top stories during 1970
included the first drop test of
the scale model of NASA's proposed Space Orbiter Shuttle craft, and the last Sprint missile firing at the range.
The national range welcomed
many new military and civilian
workers during 1970, and bid
adieu to many others.
As WSMRites brace.for 1971,
they may wish to reflect on
1970. Here are the highlights
of 1970, taken from the pages
of The Missile Ranger :

Reflection, resolve
New Year's Day wasn't always celebrated on January l.
In fact, in some parts of the world, it still isn't. In still
other locales - the Republic of China, for one - it's celebrated twice: on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar
'
and then again on the traditional lunar calendar.
Ancient Egyptians began their New Year in June when
the Nile overflowed its banks. In Iran, it begins with the
vernal equinox, on March 21. Jews start their year with
the autumnal equinox, in late September.
It wasn't until the 1500' s, after the adoption of the
Gregorian calendar, that most nations of Western Civilization began the practice of starting their years on January 1 - although it had been done centuries before by the
Romans, who honored the god J anus on that day. Even
tooay, the name of the first month of the year is derived
from his name.
Janus was the god of beginnings and endings, of doors
and archways and gateways, of entrances and exits. His
most famous shrine was the Ianus Geminus on the north
side of the Roman Forum, a simple rectangular bronze
structur e with double doors at each end through which
the Roman legions passed on their way to, or returning
from, war.
History records that when the Temple of
Janus was open, Rome was at war; when it was closed,
peace was upon the land,
Janus was two-headed; that is, he could look both backward to the past and forward to the future, a most appropriate symbolism for the beginning of the New Year.
For American servicemen and women entering this New
Year 1971, the occasion is most definitely a time both for
r eflection on the past and resolve for the future, Through
our daily efforts, perhaps this year we can accomplish
the goal of peace toward which our Nation has been striving
for many year. Perhaps we can close the gates of Janus'
temple forever. (AFPS Editorial)

'
At this happy time of Chanukah, I wish to extend my best
wishes to those of the Jewish faith. The joy and thanksgiving
of lighting the festival lights in commemoration of the Maccabees' victory over King Antiochus, the tyrant who pillaged
and destroyed the Temple, gives all of us faith in our ability
to overcome despotism and a religious anchor of hope for the
future,

Washington, D. C,
To each of you in the Army Materiel Command I extend best
wishes for a joyous Christmas and a happy holiday season.
This is the time for reflecting on our accomplishments
during the past year and looking forward with r esolution to
the challenges of the future.
1970 has been a year of solid achieve ments by AMC . All
of you, by your dedication and effort, have contributed to the
record we have established. Seemingly your task is endless,
But as you face the challenges of 1971, you may be comfor ted
in the knowledge that, by your efforts , you are assisting our
nation in its endeavor s to pr eserve peace on earth, and to
foster human dignity and fr eedom for all men,
May you and your families find the true spirit and joy of
Christmas, and may your New Year be brightened by the advance of fr eedom and goodwill throughout the world.
HENRY A. MILEY JR.
General, USA

Peace and good will
Once again ••• Christmas!
Once again, •• the joyous season r eminds us to wish our
friends and associates continued happiness and health and
pr osperity.
Perhaps we should voice these thoughts more often•••
Perhaps we s hould!
For all of us need the words that r emind us how fortunate
we are.
At Christmas, however, the words seem mor e appropriate.
Coming as it does at the end of the year , Christmas spurs us
to renew our ener gies forourselvesand forothers, And it gives
us time to reflect on the mistakes as we ll as the achievements
of the year almost gone.
We have many reasons to share pride in our euons, 101 we
have retained our ideals . We have worked, we have served,
we have fulfilled our purpose,
Still, the attainment of each ideal remains far off. Distant,
We remeber, then, ther e is much yet to be done, . much to
accomplish befor e the joys we know can be shared with those
who neither under stand our ways nor benefit fr om the simple
messages of peace and good will.
Some day, some Christmas season, the message will be heard
and understood, Until then, we wor k as best we can to make
Christmas 1970 another beautiful experience in our lives,
May you and all your loved ones share a very happy Christmas
and 1 wonderful New Year.

WASHINGTON (AFPS) - The
individual Services and Defense
agencies will conduct their own
Cost Reduction Programs, according to a memorandum issued by Deputy Secretary of
Defense David Packard.
He said he will cancel pre- ·
sent DoD directives governin
the program and is sue a new
one which will contain only the
minimum guidelines for the Ser·
vices and agencies to follow.
Mr. Packard said it was his
and Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird's "strong desire"
to decentralize the responsibility for program management
to the Ser vices. "Therefore, we
plan that future application of
the Cost Reduction Pr ogram be
conducted by and for the individual Services and operating
agencies in the interest of assisting these organizations to
meet curr ent fiscal year constr aints."

WUSA (GP) - Real life husband and wife, Paul Newman and
Joanne Woodwar d, team up in
a powerful drama of today's
times,
Cast as Rheinhardt,
Newman drinks too much, works
too little, thinks too much, and
stays underground. Miss Woodward plays Geraldine, married
young, widowed, and working as
a waitress and barmaid when
she can, The two outcasts of
society meet in New Orleans
the day after Mardi Gr as. Living tog1}ther, Geraldine thinks
he is something strong, wishes
she has enough power to bring
him back to life. Rheinhar dt

of a politically r eactionary
radio station, "W USA," and
from ther e on it' s a whole new

/.ll age s admitted,
It is a good thing to observe
Christmas Day. The mer e
marking of times and seasons,
when men agree to stop wor k
and make merry together, is
a wise and wholesome custom.
It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over
the individual life. It r em inds
a man to set his own little watch,
now and then, by t he gr eat clock
of humanity which runs on sun
time .
But ther e is a better thing
than the observance of Chr istmas Day, and that is keeping
Christmas.
Are you willing to fo rget
what you have done fo r other
people, and to remember what
other people have done for you;
to ignor e what t he world owes
you, and to think what you owe
the wor ld; to put your rights
in the background, and your
duties in the middle distance,
and your chances to do a little more than you r duty in the
foreground; to see that your
fellow- men are just as real as
you ar e, and try to look behind
their faces to their heart s,
hungry for joy; to own that
probably the only good reason
for your existence is not what
you are going to get out of
life, but what you are going to
give to life; to close your book
of compla:ints against the management of the universe, and
look ar ound you for a place
where you can sow a few seeds
of happiness - are you willing
to do these things even for a
cay?
Then you can keep
Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down
and consider the needs and the
desires of little children; to
r emember the weakness and
loneliness of people who are
gr owing old; to stop asking how
much your friends love you,
and ask yourself whether you
love them enough; to bear in
mind the things that other people have to bear in their hearts;
to try to under stand what those
who live in the same house with
you r eally want, without waiting for them to tell you; to trim
your lamp so that it will give
more light and less smoke, and
to carry it in front so that your
shadow will fall behind you; to
make a gr ave fo r your ugly
thoughts and a gar den for your
kindly feelings, with the gate
open - are you willing to do
these things even for a day?
Then you can keep Christmas,
Are you willing to believe
that love is the str ongest thing
in the world - stronger than
hate,
stronger than evil,
stronge r than death - and that
the blessed life which began in
Bethlehem nineteen hundred

Champion of unused
sick leave to retire
by
Vern H. Hunt
The "grand champion" of unused sick leave at White Sands
Missile Range will retire at the
end of this month after 26years
of Federal service.
He is James P. Townes, El
Paso, who has not been absent
from his job because of sickness for 17 years.
Mr. Townes has accumulated
2,682 hours of sick leave, which
is the highest of any presentday em p 1o y e at WSMR and
thought to be the most accrued
in the history of the Missile
Range. Full-time Federal employes earn 104 hours a year.
Based on his present salary,
the sick leave total would be
worth $17 ,900 to him if he became sick or disabled and had
to use it. Since it is unlikely
he will use any of it prior to
his retirement date, the 2,682
hours will be credited in computing his retired pay.
The last time he can remember having used any sick
leave was back in 1953, when
he had a dental appointment.
At that time he was employed
as a fiscal accountant with the
Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, in El
Paso.
An Army Air Force veteran
of World War II, Mr. Townes
came to WSMR in October 1955
after 10 years with the Bureau
of Reclamation. He has been
an internal review auditor in the
Comptroller Office during all of
his WSMR service.
Born in Dallas, Mr. Townes
was educated in Austin, Tex.
Before World War II he was a
department manager for the
White House department store
in El Paso.
Following his military service at Big Spring, Tex., he
returned to El Paso and was
employed as an accountant by
the Phelps-Dodge Refining Co.
prior to beginning his government career.
Mr. and Mrs. Townes have
been residents of El Paso since
JAMES P, TOWNES
January 1935, His wife is the
former Helen stokes, a native
of Kansas. They have one son,
James R. Townes, who is pursuing a doctor's degree in electrical engineering at the University of Missouri.
Birth rate up
The 3,319,315 births reported
by the nation's hospitals inl969
is the first year since 1961 that
the number of births in hospitals have shown an increase,
according to the American
Hospital Association,
A year ago the hospitals reported a total of 3,268,431
births.
In 1961 the nation's
hospitals reported 3,908,121
births.

"Dry weather last month was
caused by an upper level air
flow from west to northwest,"
said the meteorologist. "This
type of upper air pattern usually
occurs in the spring and is
characterized by mostly clear
skies, low relative humidities
and brisk surface winds."
The humidity in November
averaged 24 per cent below normal at 31 per cent. The mean
wind speed was 6 3 knots-third
windiest November on record.
The peak wind gust was 53 knots
on the 27th, but the windiest
day was the 30th with a mean

Use non-flamable decorations on the Christmas tree and
throughout the house.
That's the advice from the
American National Red Cross
to householders planningfor the
holiday season.
Some other recommendations
of the Red Cross Safety Services for safe holiday fun:
* If you use a fresh tree,
keep the base of the trunk in
water. lt will remain greener
and more resistant to fire.
* Never use candles as Christmas tree decorations; keep
other candles well 1·.vay from
the tree and warn smokers not
to smoke near it.
* Place your tree away from

Another area in which care
must be exercised is the selection of toys for small children.
* Avoid toys with sharp metal
corners or edges.
* Remember that eyes on a
stuffed animal may fall off into a baby's moutn.
* Paint on toys may contain

The greatest gift
For American servicemen and womencelebratingChristmas 1970, the over-all theme will be the very same one
that was proclaimed on the eve of the birth of Christianity
nearly two millenia ago: "Peace on earth, goodwill toward
men."
No nation on earth strives for peace as ardently as the
United States. Quite literally, the goal of our Nation has
been one based on peace; historically, the practice of
peace has not been easy. Even today, we find ourselves
involved actively in trying to establish and preserve
peace throughout the world.
As for goodwill, most Americans possess it in abundance. Indeed, Americans sometimes seem overendowed not to say that such an over endowment is bad - with charity and goodwill. Further, most of the men and women who
make up the Armed Forces of the United States of America
have also been bountifully endowed with the spirit of
goodwill, and practice it, not just at Christmas time, but
all year round. Hundreds of schools, hospitals, orphan::.ges and the like, built and maintained by the generosity
of American military personnel, attest to their goodwill.
As military representatives of our Nation, they give one
of the greatest gifts of all; they give of themselves,

Christmas message
Secretary of Defense
Christmas, the most sacred holiday of the Christian world,
brings to us all a message of peace and joy, a deepened spirit
of brotherhood among men, and countless opportunities to show
greater compassion for others.
I am pleased to extend my warmest wishes to all servicemen
and women and your families. Many of you are far from home
and loved ones. Your courageous performance in battle and in
the face of hardship has earned a full measure of gratitude
from our Nation. Your duty allows no recess from responsibility. Your contributions provide the security which makes it
possible for your fellow citizens at home to enjoy the serenity
of this holiday season.
The great spiritual promise of Christ's birth has echoed
down through the centuries and it still expresses mankind's
fondest hopes for Peace on Earth and Good Will to all peoples.
These are the hopes that guide our Nation as we pursue the
President's oft-stated objective of moving toward a generation
of peace,
May you and your families enjoy the blessings of Christmas
and a New Year enriched with happiness and prosperity.
Melvin R, Laird
Secretary of Defense
Select safe toys
to avoid tragedy
For a child, Christmas is a
time of toys a.nd happiness.
But an ill-chosen toy may cause
injury or possibly death instead of the squeals of joy intended.
"Parents should use extreme
care in selecting toys for their
children," says Robert Oswald,
director of American Red Cross
Safety Programs. "Although
most toys are considered safe,
there are still a good manyon
the market havingfeatures considered below minimum safety
standards or that could made
them potentially dangerous,''
he explained.
American toy manufacturers,
says the Red Cross safety director, are generally very concerned and have been very cooperative in correcting potentially dangerous playthings.
"But, there are some toys on
the market which are not considered minimally safe," Oswald states.
One of the most important
things to inspect on a b / is
its construction.
Kids give
toys a rough workout. Actually,
child toy accident,; are not so
much the result of poor design,
workmanship or materials as
they are of misuse, So a toy
must be durable to stand up to
this treatment,
Plastic that shatters, metal
with sharp ed g~!S and wood that
splinters or has unsanded edges
are dangerous. A toy shouldbe
put together so a child cannot
yank off a wheel or break it
open to leave exposed sharp
edges or small parts that could
be swallowed.
Many electric toys are now
available. Electricity is dangerous to adults .iri:J doubly so
to children who have no ideas
of its properties. New electric
toys usually have no shock hazard or current leakage. But
play stoves, irons, and metal
moulding and wood burning devices do get hot. A child must
be taught to respect them.
Like regular household a..~· ·
pliances, these electrically-operated toys do get old and worn,
and the insulation can fall.

The Treasury Department has
announced that it is ad0pting
virtually unchanged a regulation originally proposed in August to give combat zone tax
benefits to additional military
personnel.
The new rule extends combat
zone tax benefits to military
personnel serving outside Vietnam who ( 1) provide direct
support for military operations
in that country and (2) qualify
for " hostile fire pay."
Treasury's tax changes will
benefit military personnel who
took part in the Cambodian operation and who qualified for
hostile fire pay there, those
who receive hostile nre pay
while serving in Laos or Cambodia, and aircr ew members
who qualify for such pay because of flights fr om Okinawa,
Thailand, or other areas outside Vietnam, or from ships
outside of the designated combat zone,
Under the amended regulations, these members of the
Armed Forces will receive the
same income tax ex clusion
given to personnel in a designated combat zone. The pay
of enlisted men and warrant
officers will be exempt from
Federal income tax, and the
first $500 per month of a commissioned officer ' s pay will be
exempt.
Military personnel who have
qualified in the past for hostile
fire pay while supporting oper ations in Vietnam from areas
outside the designated combat
zone generally will be able to
claim refunds of income taxes
paid dur ing theseperiods. Generally, the earliest period for
which a refund may be claimed
is 1967. Refund claims should
be sent to the Internal Revenue
Service Center for the ar ea in
which the taxpayer permanently resides.
The tax changes also provide
certain benefits for the estate
of an officer or enlisted man
killed while consider ed to be
serving in the Vietnamese combat zone. These include ex-
emption from estate taxation in
most cases, and, subject to the
statute of limitations, refunds
of any income taxes he paid
since first entering a combat
zone.
Under the amended rules,
combat zone tax benefits will
no longer be granted to milltary personnel who pass over
or through a combat zone while
making a trip between two
points which lie outside the
combat zone, or who are in the
zone solely for their own personal convenience. In addition,
a member of the Armed Forces
who voluntarily enters a combat zone while on leave generally will not be eligible for combat zone tax benefits.

For the first time in its 168year history, the U.s. Military
Academy has a cadet strength
of more than 4,000, This year's
plebe class (Class of 1974) numbers 1, 277, while the other three
classes have a total of 2, 789.
The Academy will reach a
total strength of more than 4,400
by 1972, the authorized maximum set by Congress for each
of the three major service
academies.
Fifty-three plebes are from
minority groups, including 39
Negroes. The Academy minority enrollment now totals 103,
including 89 Negroes.
Seven foreign cadets are enrolled in the Class of 1974,
They come from Panama, Uruguay, Philippines, Guatemala,
Bolivia, Guyana and the Republic of Vietnam, bringing the
total of foreign cadets to 27.
Growth at West Point is not,
however, limited to enrollment.
Over the years, physical expansion has been a continuous process. The most recent program, started in 1965, has resulted ina new gymnasium addition with an olympic-sizedpool,
new barracks with a 2,800-man
capacity and new offices and
classrooms.

Upon graduation, each cadet
receives a bachelor of science
degree. Approximately 80 per
cent of the graduates are
assigned by Department of the
Army to many of the nation's
finest universities, at some
time during their career, to
pursue graduate degrees at the
master's or doctoral level.
Nominations for cadetships
are allocated by law generally
to members of Congress and
to the secretary of the Army
for service-connected categories. Cadetships are awarded
on a competitive basis to the
most qualified young men among
those receiving nominations,
Usually a 10-1 ratio of nominees
to cadetships is considered fair
competition.
In the Congressional category, the vic;e-president, senators, representatives and U, S,
territorial governors are allocated specific cadetships, Each
senator and representative, for
example, is allowed five cadetships to which he may nominate
men from within his congressional jurisdiction as vacancies
become available.
Nominations available
through the secretary of the
Army include categories alloted to enlisted members of
the Regular Army, enlisted
members of the Army Reserve,
sons of career military personnel, sons of deceased or totally
disabled veterans, honor graduates of certain military and naval schools, andsonsofpersons
awarded the Medal of Honor.
Men may apply to more than
one applicable source for a
nomination •
Nominees who are members
of the Regular Army and other
men on active duty must attend the U.S. Military Acadl'!my
Preparatory School at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, before entering
West Point.
For information on admission

Three-man track team
prepS for· competition
by
Tom Merryman
The WSMR Track team
started practicing earlier tJrls
week for the upcoming Fourth
U.s. Army Track Meet at Ft,
Hood, Tex., in May 1971.
Presently the track team consists of only three members all distance runners, However,
track coach Jesus Montes is
hoping a few more prospective
candidates will show up before
serious training begins in
January,
At 33 SSG Jesu s Montes,
assistant mess sergeant, is the
oldest member of the track
team - but he is also the most
e:xpe riencect.
Ever since high school in
Tucson, Ariz., SSG Montes has
been interested in track and
field competition. It was during high school that Mo!ltes
took to distance races,
As the good-natured sergeant
himself says, "If there's any
race of 3,000 meters or more,
I'll compete," And he has done
just that,
In 1958 he participated in
"Com Z" military competition
in Chinon, France, and finished
first in the 10,000-meter race,
third at 5,000 meters and fourth
in the 3,000-meter steeplechase,
In 1959 he competed in the
USA-EUROPEAN military meet
at Nurnburg, Germany, There
he finished second at 10,000
meters and fifth at the 5,000meter run,
The year 1960 was one of the
sergeant's banner years. In
the 24th Infantry Division Track
competition in Augsburg, Germany, Montes finished first in
the 10,000 meters, first in the
5,000 meters and first in the
3,000 meters.
SSG Montes has represented
White Sands in Fourth U.S.
Army competition three times.
At Ft, Hood in 1967 the sergeant placed fourth in both the
10,000 and 5,000 meter competition.
In 1968 at Ft, Bliss he finished third in the 10,000 meter
competition and fourth in the
5,000 meter competition.

ABERDEEN PROVING
GROUND, Md. - At the U. S,
Army Test and Evaluation Command (USA TE COM) Headquarters, Aberdeen Proving Ground,
there is a th re e - man team
which annually travels 25,000
miles or more in order to reach
an audience estimated at over
500,000 persons.
'
These are the men who provide liaison and support for the
Exhibit Program of the U. s.
Army Materiel Command (AMC)
and USATECOM, Comprising
this trio are Rus sell T. Aaronson, chi e f of the unit, and
William H. Bullock, both of
Aberdeen, and Charles J. Mitchell of Havre de Grace.
They are concerned with no
less than 15 major displays
r anging from very small visual
pane 1 s to elaborate 40-foot
exhibits, embr a cing a wide
variety of audio-visual devices,
including automated slide shows
used in conjunction with synchronized tape r ecordings.
Versatility is the Exhibit
Team's watchword. Not only
must the men know how to load
the equipment for transporting
without damage, they must also
have the capability for setting
up the displays at a variety of
locations and under all types of
conditions.
The team must be able to
maintain and r epair each component and allied equipment - a
requirement which entails a
thorough knowledge of electronics, optical projector s, carpentry and general mechanics,

PFC James Toms
HQ CONARC, Ft. Monroe, Va,
-Frontier townsfolk, weatherbeaten cowboy s and simple
ordinary white men called them
by all sorts of names - Moacs,
Brunettes and Africans included, None of the titles carried
respectful overtones.
In fact, it took their fearsome
opponents, the American Indians, to give the fighting men
of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry
a nickname they could be duly
proud of: Buffalo Soldiers.
Between 1870 and 1896 these
black frontier fighters won 14
Congressional Medals of Honor,
and their service in controlling
rampaging Indians on the Great
Plains was as invaluable as it
was unpraised.
Unlike the black patriots of
Civil War fame, men of the
Ninth and Tenth did not march
into battle with drums rolling,
bugles blowing and flags flying.
They patrolled a st ran g c,
desolate country occupied by
hostile red men whose manner
of warfare was always unorthodox. The ambush and the sneak
attack became an everyday incident; but they learned to ride in
the shadows of hills and rocks
and with the ease with which
most men cross a quiet street.
The fighting was fierce and
battles sometimes lasted for
days. Never did they end while
either side had live bodies or
gunpowder with which to launch
another attack,
out his responsibility like a
veteran.
Displaying energy and skill,
he rallied his men, then led the
civilians to safety behind a big
rock. Afterward, he directed a
charge against the enemy on one
side of the canyon,
Then, in advance of his men,
Woods fought his way to a high
ridge and conducted a one-man
war on the Indians. When a
small force of Apaches tried to
attack Woods from the side, he
held his ground even though
wounded in the arm, The retaliation was so devastating that
the warriors left their positions,
mounted horses and rode away.
The fight was over. Six men
were dead, and others, including
Sergeant Woods, were wounded,
One of the white cowboys saved
by the valiant Negro sergeant
said later: "That Sergeant
Woods is an s.o.b, to fight. I had
no idea a darky would fight that
way. If it had not been for him
none of us would have come out
of that canyon,"
About 10 months following the
daring skirmish in Gaballan
Canyon, Chief Nana surrendered, In one of the last campaigns to deter the old warrior's
activities, Sergeant Woods had
earned the Medal of Honor for
conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity.

To each member of the United States Army, I send season's
greetings. Wherever you may be, your mission is in keeping
with the spirit of this holy time.
As modern shepherds of the free world, in far off places you
are defending those who are deprived of "Peace on Earth" and
are working with them to build nations where brotherhood
justice and self-determination will prevail. At home you ar~
reinforcing the preservation of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
For each of you there is a special significance in the spirit
of giving that is traditionally associated with this festive season because you are giving unselfishly of yourselves in the
task of securing freedom for all men everywhere. You are
strengthening conditions in the world so that the spirit of the
Prince of Peace may prosper.
Your attention to duty regardless of personal hardships,
discomforts and inconveniences is a source of personal pride
and a tangible reassurance to all people everywhere who share
our hopes for world stability and a secure peace through mutual
understanding and cooperative effort.
As the year 1970 draws to a close, I take this opportunity to
express my deep personal appreciation for your many splendid
accomplishments and to ask your continued assistance and loyal
support in the missions we will share in the year ahead.
I pray that you and your loved ones will have a joyous holiday
and a New Year that will bring a full measure of success,
happiness and self-fulfillment.

the other side of the world, however, it means more fighting and more fallen comrades. It is for these valiant,
fighting men that we should pause for a second thought,
remembering their dedication and perseverance for the
cause of freedom for all men on earth.
Amidst the merry making of the season, and with these
thoughts uppermost in mind, we should take a moment to
rededicate ourselves to the cause for which we serve.
Let us firmly resolve ourselves to the cause for which we
serve. Let us firmly resolve to make the New Year more
productive and to intensify our efforts towards the mission
and goal of peace and freedom for all mankind.
To all members of the U. s. Army Test and Evaluation
Command I extend my best, personal wishes for a Blessed
and Merry Christmas and a Happy and Rewarding New
Year.

- Verbatim transcripts of adverse action hearings will be
required in all cases and will
be made available to the
employe. At present, either a
summary or a transcrivt of Stich
proceedings may be prepared.
- When an employe alleges
discrimination in connection
with an adverse action appeal,
the allegation will be directly
referred to the EEO Officer for
investigation,
The EEO investigation file
will then be included in the
adverse action appeal file, and
the discrimination issue will
become part of the adverse
action appeal. However, if such
an allegation is first presented after a hearing is in progress, the examiner will suspend the hearing and refer the
allegation for investigation only
if the employe can show good
reason for not presenting the
allegation when the appeal was
filed. This improvement, while
protecting
the
employer's
rights and at the same time
minimizing delays, will solve
the problem of concurrent processing of a discrimination
issue and adverse action appeal.

WASHINGTOJS (ANF)
Effective Jan. 1, 1971, a fede1·a1 law passed in 1968 establishes four Monday holidays.
Commi>moration of Washington's Birthday has been shifted from Feb. 22 to the third
Mo'lday in February; Memorial
Day from May 30 to the last
Monday in May; and Veterans
Day from Not. 11 to the fourth
Morl'lay in October. Columbus
Day has been made a national
holiday for the first time, and
its date has changed from Oct.
12 to the second Mo1day in
October,
These shifts mean there will
be at least five three-day weekends every year. The fifth is
Labor Day, which traditionally
falls on the first Monday in
September.
Legally, the new holiday law
J applies only to eaiployes of the
District of Columbia government, and Federal employes,
wherever they are. However,
35 states have adopted holiday
schedules that conform to the
Fedaral lineup. Surveys show
~ that 10 other states are going

for Korean orphans
To many, Christmas is a time

to many others Christmas ;s a
time of hoping.
For the 125 children at the
Sang Ro·~k Orphanage in Yong

always been a main part of
Christmas.
The orphanage, which is operated by Mrs, Kim In Hee,
receives little aid from tlw
South Korean governme11t. Essentially, the orphan<tge is dependent on monetary support
from sympathetic U, S, soldiers
stationed there.
One of the many U .s. soldiers

Korea is staff Se rgean~ St'\ r w

But SSG Roufa didn't lose his
generosity towards the Korean
orphans when he crossed the
Pacific, Since returning to the
"states" about six months ago,
he has remained in contactwith
Mrs. Kim and has recently established a routing system
whereby goods can be shipped
to the Korean orphanage.
Eventually, SSG Roufa hopes
to change the orphanage from J.
house which provides food and
shelter to a home which can
also provide training and
schooling,
To do this, a larger plot of
land witl1 mo1"? l1cilities and a
larger technical staff will be
needed. This will, hopefully,
come in the future. The immediate aim of the orphanage
is to ensure that the children
will be fed and clothed and
somewhat trained for the future.
The orphanage is in need of
many items such as books, typewriters, sewing machines and
o(
even clothing, Also needed are
carpenter's tools and mechanic
sets. These items will be used
both for maintenance of the
existing facilities :i.nd the training of the children.
Means are now available for
the shipment of such goods, and

PROMOTION
OPPORTUNITIES
I'd like to pass along a few
interesting job opportunities.
Men in grades E-6 and above
can qualify for a warrant officer appointment as a field
artillery radar technician (MOS
211A) by completing the 24week weapons support radar
maintenance course at Ft. Sill,
Okla.
Prerequisites can be
found in DA Pamphlet 350-10.
We often use this column to
inform you how you can change
your career field, or your location. Today, we thought we
would direct our comments to
the men and women who are
happy - both in their jobs and
in their location.
If you are one of those in
this category, it is possible to
reenlist and receive a guarantee
that your initial assignment will
be to your present duty assignment, or to any vacancy for
which you are qualified, without changing your station.
One of the most appealing
aspects of this option is that
it is open to all enlisted men
and women regardless of grade,
time in service, present component, or whether or not your
MOS is on the current surplus
list. Your reenlistment term
can run from 3 to 6 years. In
order to reenlist under this
option, you must be a member of the permanent party here
at White Sands Missile Range.

wASlilNGTON -Don't be surprised if you hear some of the
civilians and their military
supervisors at Army Material
Command say: "Let's do it by
the numbers."
They're not thinking of joining an infantry outfit and jogging through basic training,
They're thinking of drills,
lathes, mills, borers and punches. And they're thinking of
numbers. Numbers in the shape
of holes punched in a tape, A
tape that will boss a machine
tool around without a machinist
to steer it.
In the jargon of AMC (and
of private industry) this method
of automated manufacturing is
known as "numerical control"
(NC). It's a fairly new language
and technique that permits communications between man and
machine.
Numerical control is the
science of guiding a machine
tool through its manufacturing
cycle with digital data supplied
to the machine in the form of
a coded punch tape,
What was wrong with the oldfashioned method?
Take the case of an urgent
request to the Army for 13
special fuel caps. AMC had
none on hand, Nowhere. So an
AMC installation decided to buy
63 fuel caps - hoping to put
50 in reserve, just in case it
got another such request.
It requested bids from contractors. No soap. No firm
would interrupt their production for such a small order.
It just didn't pay.
Finally, one company offered to produce the item, at $4.41
apiece, but would not guarantee
a delivery date. They would
work on it in between production jobs. In desperation, AMC
agreed.
Eight months later, the fuel
caps were delivered,
It was discovered some time
later that had the AMC installation been capable of performing the work on numerical control, the cap would have cost
the Army $1.17 each. And all63 of them would have been produced in five days.
Numerical control is rarely
used in mass production, which
is more economical for large
quantities of an item. NC is
best for filling small lots and
short runs. And a major portion of defense needs today falls
in the category of satisfying
small lot requirements. This is
due to the fact that the United
States is not fighting major wars
but engaged in a series of small
conflicts.
This has requireda manufacturing technology that can responsively and ecooomically
produce hardware in small
quantities. This technology had
to readily adapt to quick char..geover from one short run to the
next.
Which is why John c. Williams, of the Office of Industrial Preparedness of AMC's
Directorate of ReqUirements
and Procurement, heads a
special PROMAP-70 (Program
for the Refinement of the Material Acquisition Process) task
force working on expanding
AMC's capabilities for automating short-run manufacturing processes.
By July 1969, AMC had procured 87 new machines that
are numerically controlled. By
July 1971, it is planned to
have 174 such machines, an

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala.Army missilemen have a twoword answer to the question they
hear often from laymen. It
usually goes: "How do you know
guided missile will work?"
The answer, all the more effective because it is true: "We
test."
Simple as it sounds, testing,
particularly the testing of Army
missiles, is an incredibly complex, time consuming and costly
business. It has been estimated that up to 40 percent of the
millions of dollars required to
develop a guided missile system
are spent in some kind of testing.
By careful planning, combining where possible, and screening out potential duplication, the
U.S. Army Missile Commandin
its unique life cycle approach
to missile testing has r ecorded substantial cost avoidances.

Much of the flying is for Army

high praise for maintenance and

From early in the morning to
late at night, ground maintenance and equipment specialists
work closely with Transport

the biggest workloads at Kirtland-Holloman, making direct
contributions to technical progress vital to the Air Force's
future combat capabilities.
