A drop in promotions during
May a nd June is considered a
normal management practice
because lhe Army must m ake
sure it winds up the fiscal year
on June 30 within the gradestrengths authorized by Congress in the annua l budget. Last
year was an exception when expansion of the Army permitted
increased quotas a t the end of
the fiscal year.
By grades, quotas for May

Power For Peace
''Power for Peace" - when first adopted as the official Armed Forces Day slogan, it was little known that
this phrase would be vividly demonstrated in the sweaf,
tears and blood of American servicemen seeking peace
in the defense of a small Southeast Asian nation called
Vietnam.
"Power for Peace" was a term meaning an American
armed force at the ready - ready to meet and reply any
act of aggression anywhere in the world at anytime
when directed by the President. It was a slogan born in
an uneasy period when it was hoped that America's
powerful armed services would act as a deterrent to aggressors.
As Americans the world over prepare to celebrate
Armed Forces Day May 20, more than 400,000 U. S. servicemen are bringing to the enemy in Vietnam the mean
ing of that slogan.
The Armed Forces Day theme is "Armed Forces Report to the Nation" - a report which is carried daily

Presence.
We thank Thee for the innumerable spiritual and
material resources of our servicemen in their struggle
for a just and lasting peace. Make us mindful of our own
responsibilities to mankind. Be our refuge and stren gth

YOCR COMPASS OF LIFE
I stepped up to the department store clerk and asked. "Do
you carry compasses?"
"Yes," she replied, "which
kind cto you want; the kind that
makes circles, or the kind that
gives direction?"
I hadn' t though much of the
...." kinds of compasses until
that time, but concluded
thaL there was a real parable
involved in the difference.
Life can be like a compass.
It can go In circles, never see·
ming to find direction or purpose. It can become dull and rou•
tine -never getting anywhere,
always going round and round.
On the other hand, life can be
like the compass which has direction- gives direction and
points others along the way.
The difference lies in man's
recognizing the spiritual dimension in his life and giving it full
sway. There is nothing that
says we must; but whether we
do or not will largely determine'
whet her we will suffer out our
life's day in quiet desperation;
or expelience life in all the
richness and fullness that Our
Heavenly Father intended it to
hold for us.

Souvenirs That Kill
A young soldier and two small children died at Oak
Grove, Ky., on January 28, 1967, when a hand grenade
one of the youngsters had taken home exploded on the
front porch of the soldier's home.
This is one of several newspaper accounts about accidents caused by explosives brou ght back from overseas combat areas as war souvenirs.
Officials at Continental Army Command are concerned over such tragedies and are calling for a campaign throughout USCONARC military establishments
to alert all soldiers and their families to the dangers of
death-dealing souvenirs.
Individuals returning from Vretnam with war trophies - firearms or other lethal items, are required to
have a DD Ford 603-1, War Trophy Registration/Authorization, in their possession. One copy of the compleed form is maintained on file by The Provost Marshal,
Department of the Army. AR 643-20, Contr.ol and Registration of War Trophies and War Trophy Firearms, explains the criteria for owning such items.
In Ravanna, Fla., a father and his two sons were
killed when a small anti-personnel fragmentation bomb
they had taken from a bombing range exploded in their
home. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams
are located on most major military installations to assist
in instances such as these. During 1966 these explosive
experts, whose job is to destroy duds or recover dangerous munitions, traveled 5,304 miles and recovered 94,051
explosive items.

is at work in a bloody conflict to stop another act of aggression.
It is symbolized by the peace-preserving presence of
our Armed Forces in faraway places - in Europe, the
Arctic, the Pacific, and other regions of the world.
President Johnson in his Armed Forces Day message points out that nowhere is America's dedication to
the love of freedom "reflected more vividly than in the
Armed Forces of the United States."
Terming America's military establishment "the
mightiest of all time," the President said that this would
not be the case, that this mighty arsenal "would give us
neither peace nor security without the devotion to duty,
the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who
wear our country's uniform."
"In Vietnam - and around the world - they perpetuate the ideals which made and preserve us as a nation
President Johnson said.
Dedication ... devotion .. courage - - - sacrifice this is the serviceman's report to his nation It is a report
written clearly among the rattle of small arms fire, the
thump of mortars and cannon, and the earth-shaking

Peace." (AFNB)

People often ask: ''What kind of background does one need to become •
securities broker?"
Well ••• backgrounds differ (some are pharmacists, journalists, lawyers,
veterinarians), but the one thing that all New York Stock Exchange brokers have
in common is the will to study.
Edward D. Jones & Company brokers are as much students as salesmen.
The principle reason why most young Jones & Co. brokers hold a Masters Degrne
is because we want to be certain that our brokers are disciplined to study.

A savings goa.l of $120,000
has been set for White Sands

1967 Jn the cost reduction area
of management improvements.
The Jong-range goal in this
area is to save $250,000 over
a. three-year period from actlons initiated this fiscal year.
These goals are the second
highest of all the 21 cost reductlon areas prescribed for the
Army Cost Reduction Program
at WSMR.
This area covers "other," or
miscellaneous, management improvement actions - those not
fallin~ in six specific management areas. Separate goals have
been established for management improvements in the
areas of telecommunications,

Best Possible Defense
Ever since the United States became a free and independent nation, 190 years ago the citizens of the country have applied a double standard to their Army.
They have spared no expense to provide for the finest possible fighting machine during times of conflict.
But in between the periods of crisis, peacetime production takes over and the Army is quickly forgotten.
We have been caught with our guard down at the
outset of every armed conflict involving our country
from the War of 1812 through the Korean Conflict even
though each time we should have learned the necessity
of maintaining a modern and well-equipped Army.
It was not until 1950 that the Association of the
United States Anny was organized with the avowed purpose of impressing upon the American people the importance and necessity of maintaining a strong Army as
the best possible defense of their way of life.
The Navy League had been organized in 1890 and
the Air Force Association took up the fight soon after
that service became a separate branch. As a result of the
efforts of the two groups, the airplanes flew and the battleships sailed into Korea.
But it soon became painfully apparent that there
was no airplane available, nor was there an aircraft carrier in existence that could scale Pork Chop Hill. However, between them they were able to stem the tide of
aggression until we were able to re-build an Army capable of finishing the job.
With the organization of the AUSA, things began to
happen. Men in uniform were telling their friends in
civilian clothes about the harsh realities of life in the
atomic age, and members of the Association began to
speak to their congressmen of the dire needs of the
Army.
Slowly there developed the present policy of a
strong Army capable of a flexible response to any situation that might occur at any location - an Army that
could employ any kind of weapon from an atomic missile
to a hand grenade.
Over the past decade several formal resolutions
that were passed during the annual convention have
been enacted into law through the coordinated efforts
of the individual members of AUSA.
It has, for example, led the fight to maintain the
Army's strength and modernize our weapons and equipment, pointing out that new weapons are needed immediately - not months after the fighting has started.
The AUSA has worked long and hard for a build-up
of our military airlift and has stressed the need :for an
effective missile defense program. It has stressed improvements in the welfare, service conditions and educational standards for all ranks of the Army and has consistently supported moves for higher pay and career incentives for both military personnel and Civil Service
employes
This year the Association fs working on a list of resolutions adopted at the annual meeting last year. The
objectives for the year are framed to support ground
forces of sufficient size, mobility, and properly equipped
to carry out the requirements of our National Defense.
Some of the key resolutions call for: maintaining
all Army components at strengths guaranteeing the
timely meeting of al commitments and contingencies·
maintaining fully supported Reserve Forces capable of
executing missions within the one Army concept; Supporting all measures to maintain components of the
Army at the highest level of combat readiness, including
the accelerated procurement of modem wapons.
AUSA has called for the early production and deployment of an effective anti-ballistic missile defense·
an expansion of the junior and senior ROTC program;
adequate housing for all military personnel and their
dependents; and the enhancement of career incentives
including traditional service benefits, allowances, medi~
cal care and post-retirement employment opportunities.
All of the AUSA programs add up to an enlightened
and progressive program looking toward the maintenance of a strong Army, equipped to respond flexibly in
any kind of national emergency.
The Association believes that Americans want and will not accept less - than the very best Anny that
can be raised, trained and equipped.
All of those associated with the Army - its civilian
neighbors, its civilian employees, its military personnel
and its contractors - will find it profitable to support
the work of the A USA.

Civil Service Commission answered the question: "What is
the role of the civilian employe
in the Department of Defense
Cost Reduction Program?"
In considering this question,
Chairman Macy said, he is reminded of the vast human resources involved in the critical
business of safeguarding our
national security: more than
one million civilian employes,
and more than two billion civilian man-hours expended annually.
l\Illlion Work Site11
Therefore, he added, the
civilian work force should be
invited, and callenged, and inspired to apply the power of a
million minds to finding ways
to economize at a million work
sites.
The manager, he continued,
ls concerned with the big pieture of cost reduction. He will
be reviewing entire programs
and dealing ·with the overall
strategy of achieving cost reductlon goals.
On the other hand, civilian
employes and their immediate
supervisors are in a position to
identify and recommend the
tactlcal strategy the improvements at the work sites.
"We want to challenge each
employe to exert maximum
economy in his day-to-day use
of supplies, equipment, manpower, etc.," the CSC chairman said. "We want to inspire
each employe to be alert to the
dollars and cents aspects of Ws
job e.nd his organization." ·
Ideas Bring Savings
He emphasized the Cost Reduction Program's tie-in with
the Incentive Awards Program.
In fiscal year 1966, DOD employes submitted 275,342 suggestions through the Incentive
Awards Program. Of these suggestlons, 71,630 were adopted.

A similar situation was noted
locally. At the end of the third

However, area cost reduction
officers were optimistic. The
decline could not be attributed

The new modules have an
electrically - powered reloading
system and a greater ammunition capacity than the original
guns they are replacing, Afr

gunports in the side of modified C-47s, have a combined
rate of fire of 18,000 rounds per
minute. ( AFNB)
