~eral law requiring an employer to release a reservist for summer camp training? And is an
employer consulted on the most
convenient time for this training
· olving the employee?
A. A. Employers are required by
9

training time for their employees.
This is covered by Section 9 (g)
(3). Public Law 51-82ndJ Congress, Universal Military Training
and Ser<Vice Act. This law d·o es

governments, or to their political
sub-divisions. However, most
:;tates dJo have similar laws affecting their own employees. As for
the employer 1being consulted

student, andi am eligible to join
e 17-181/z year old program in
ther the Army reserves or the
National Guard. Do regrular Army
benefits apply while we are on
the six months training.? For example, medical care and insurance. And if so, do we continue
to get these benefits on reserve
duty?
A. If you go on the six months
active duty for training under
provis>ions of the Reserve Forces
Act of 1955, you are not considered to ibe a member of the Active
Army. Therefore, if you choose
this reserve training program, you
will be eligible for some of the
benefits availa1ble to members of
the Active Arm·y , but not all of
them. As a six-,month trainee you
woulcli be entitled to free insurance uncter the Serviceman's Indemnity Act of 1951, death and
disabiiity benefits in case of injury or disease, and reemployment rights.
QUESTION: I am a colle.ge stu-
dent and have an educational deferment right now.
·I think I
would like to join a reserve, unit,
·b ut what guarantee do I have
that I would not be pulled out of
school for active duty with a reserve unit?
A. None. Assuming that you
enlist in the reserves over the
age of 18112, you assume an immediate six-year obligation. You
are eligible for two years of active duty, which you may request
or which may be given you by the
Selective Service. You:ri Reserve
unit, however, would not be called into active duty except by a
general mobi'lization declared by
the President of the United
States. If you were to join a reserve unit now, it is pos.s>ible that
you could: keep your educational
deferment and start discharging
your six-yea.I' obligation while in
college.
QUESTION!: I am a high school
student here in the city with two
years to go. What is the minimum
age for a man enlisting in the
reserves? Is it the same as for the
ARegular Army or Navy?

'Corporal of the Guard'-
TV Cameras Serve as
Thrifty Fi"re Guards
Cleveland, Ohio-Seated in the
basement of a windowless plant,
a man watches for fires on the
roof. His "eyes" are closed-circuit
television.
This new wrinkle in fire protection is located· in t'he Army
Ordnance Corps' Cleveland' plant.
It consists of two remote-controlled TV cameras mounted, on
t'he roof of the sprawling structure and a pair of 17-inch receivers in the plant protection office.
Dreamed up by plant officials,
the idieai was promoted/ by Harry
Goodwin, Cleveland! Ordnance
Distriet security officer, al'l an
economical method of ·g1vmg
maximum protection with minimum personnel. Fire spotting on
29-acre roof is around the clock
and seven days a week. Formerly
a .guard was stationed there at all
times. This was a f.ull-time job
for at least four guaI'ds.
Now watching for roof fires is
just an additional duty for the
operator . of a fire-reporting and
call-box system in the 1plant proteetion office. Annual savings on
wages and friJ11ge benefits-roughly $21,000-will pay for the
$20,000 television system in less
than a year, Goodwin estimates.
The two TV cameras' are
mounted! ·on towers built on the
roof at two corners of the building. The cameras ·a rc equipped
with Zoomar lenses which let the
opera tor shorten focal length for
close-up pictures. They arc encased in waterproof 1housings,
have windshield! wipers to clear
lense~ of rain and mist, and sunshields to ward! off glare when
shooting into the sun.
Each camera sweeps ·half the
roof. They operate independently
of each other, but controls for
both are mounted on a panel
within easy reach of the operator.
Operation is automatic as earners sweep back and1 forth. But the
operator can also stop, ti It, or focus them; shorten the focus for
closer inspection of particular
areas; turn on ·the ·windshielrl:
wipers; and swing the cameras
around to cover t'he parking lot
and remainder of the plant

One of the major relay stations
in the worldwide Army Command
and Administrative Network,
Camiliarly known as ACAN, the
F'ourth Arm y Communication
Center, located in the historic
Quadrangle and operating 24
hours a day, seven days a week,
reaches out to countries throughout the globe in which U.S. Army
personnel are stationed.
The Army's giant network has
;30 major relay stations, nine of
which are in the United States.
Center of the Iarflung system is
the Pentagon in Washington.
Within the Fourth Army area
comprising Arkansas, Louisiana·
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, and channeling messages
through the Fourth Army Communication Center, are three
minor relay stations located at
Fort Bliss, Tex.; New Orleans, La.;
and Red River Arsenal, Texarkana, Texas. These stations
handle mesages for 35 terminal
stations located at installations in
t h e i r respective geographical
areas.
Representative samples of messages sent by ACAN stations
within the Fourth Army area are
monitored as they come in on the
teletype machines each day and
are checked for procedure discrepancies. This constant supervision has enabled the Fourth Army
Communication Center to rank as
one of the most effective ACAN
relay points in the world.
When a message is received at
the Communication Center it goes
to the center's receiving terminal station. Its destination and
number are noted and it is manually perforated into tape form.

Det. 4 pounded out a 12-6 victory over the 9577th TU in its only
action of the week and sported a
'3-0 record. A game scheduled for
July 16 between Det. 4 and the 14th
Ord. Bn. was postponed.
Det. 1 ran wild over the hapless
Medics for its first victory of the
week, 44-1. Two days later the Det.
1 softballers downed the Navy nine,
12-2. An official protest was lodged
with the league-sponsoring Athletic
Section of Special Services Office
fellowing the game by the Navy
team. Post athletic officials will
determine whether the protest will
be upheld or denied.
It was the Navy team's first Joss
in the third round of league play.
However, the improved Navy club
took two other victories during the
week and ended up in third place in
the standings with a good 3-1 record. Navy toppled 14th Ord. Bn.,
8-5, and then knocked off Det. 2 of
the 9393rd TU, 7-4.
I Det. 2 managed a comeback on
July 19, romping to a 14-4 v ictory
over the 7205th. This gave the Det.
2 club a .500 percentage with two
wins and two losses, good for fourth
place in the league standings at the
end of the week's action.
In fifth place with one win and
three losses was the 9577th TU,
which also took one victory and
dropped one decision during the
week. The signalmen edged the
7205th in free-scoring July 17 game,
18-15. The next day they bowed
to undefeated Det. 4 as the Ordnancemen took the 12-6 contest.
Still to break into the win column
in the third round of play are the
14th Ord. Bn., which has one loss,
and the Medics and 7205th, each
with three losses.

Ricky Negrete Hurls
Post Pony League to
Win Over Turrentine
The White Sands Colts posted
their third Pony League victory
of the season against Turrentine,
the cellar team, by a score of 10-0.
The game went only 4 1/2 innings and
was declared official wh~ White
Sands held a 10 run advantage at
the end of the top of the fifth.
Ricky Negrete pitched a nifty
three hit shutout, striking out 10
batters while walking four. Only
two men reached third base. It was
the first shut out tossed by a Colt
pitcher this season.
Lee Jensen led off with a double
but was out when he tried to score
from second base on Walden's sacrifice bunt. Negrete drew, a walk
and Angelias singled. Both runners
moved up on a double steal and
scored on Ellison's grounder
through shortstop. ·
The Colts scored four in the second on two walks, a sacrifice, and
singles by Walden and Negrete.
Negrete continued all the way
around the bases when the right
fielder allowed his hit to roll pass
him.
The third-inning saw three more
runs cross the plate on a walk to
Ellison, a single by Garcia, walk to
Shoberg, single by O'Connell and
singles by Jensen and Walden.
In the fourth Angelias tripled but
was out at home trying to stretch
the hit. Ellison singled stole second and continued on to score on the
catchers throwing error.
Turrentine's only real threat came
in the fourth and a smart play saved
the shutout. Martinez led off by
popping out to the catcher, Angelias.
A pinch hitter singled to right and
a runner for him stole second base.
However, the runner failed to notice
that Colt shortstop, Jensen, had
kept the ball and when the runner
jumped off the base to rattle the
pitcher, Lee, gently but firmly,
"rattled" him by planting the glove
and ball on his honorable person.
Now with two out and nobody on,
Rel singled and C. Martinez walked.
A double steal moved the runners
up but to no avail as Hernandez
looked at a third strike.
The Colts play Papen July 24 and
P. R. Burn July 26. Both teams are

Capl V. W.Hammond
Decorated by USAF
For Work with IRIG
· Capt. Victor W. Hammond,
USAF, Executive Officer of the
Flight Determination Laboratory,
received the Commendation Medal
from Lt. Gen. Thomas S. Power,
Commander of the Air Research
and Development Command, durjng the general's recent visit to Holloman Air Development Center.
Capt. Hammond was cited for his
work in oragnizing a secretariat for'
the Holloman-White Sands InterRange Instrumentation Group. The
citation related that he worked
many off-duty hours to solve the
problems which arose from the lack
of formal administrative and managerial policies and procedures,
which was hampering the general
effediveness of IRIG. The effc I~
"brought the IRIG in step with and
maintained pace with the expanding
missile testing program."
Capt. Hammond is a native of
Tooele, Utah. In 1949 he arrived at
li{Jlloman where .he was the only
second lieutenant. He was placed in
charge of the Air Materiel Command's V -2 project as well as the
Aerobee project. In 1951 he left to
get his master's degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of Michigan. He had received his bachelors' degree from

WASHINGTON (AFPS)-Gen
eral Maxwell D. Taylor, Army
Chief of Staff, ·has scored the
"false impressions" of Army life
that movies, television and comic
strips give the nation.
In a recent address before the
National Jewish Welfare Board
in New York City, Gen. Taylor
said, "the concept of the officer as
a hard-boiled taskmaster has often predominated in the minds of
young men as they have approached their military service ."
Leaders of this type do not belong in the Army, Gen. Taylor declared.
"Of necessity, our officers and
non-commissioned officers have
been taught to exact from their
troops esential discipline, without which armies could not be
distinguished from mobs, and
without which there is no hope
for victory," the Army's top leader explained.
"But," he added, "the kind of
discipline imposed in the U. S.
Army is not the yapping discipline of martinets."
Army discipline follows a definition inscribed on a bronze
plaque at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Gen. Taylor
said.
This inscription reads: "The
discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable
in battle is not to be gained by
harsh or tyrannical treatment. On
the contrary, such treatment is
far more likely to des•troy than to
make an army.
"It is possible to impart instruction and to give commands in such
a manner and such a tone ·of voice
to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey,
while the opposite manner and
tone of voice cannot fail to excite
strong resentment and a desire to
disobey.
''The one mode or the other of
dealing with subordinates springs
from a corresponding spirit in the
breast of the commander. He who
!eels the respect which is due to
others cannot fail ~o inspire .in
them regard for himself, while

Dog 's Life for Five Kittens - -.
01~ We've Found a New Home!
SHAW AFB, S. C. (AFPS)-Sure, a cat' has nine lives, but
Rascal's fling at eternity was drawing close.
Like any properly doting mother, Rascal's first thoughts
were of her offspring-five tiny kittens who had barely begun
to see the light of day in the home of Lt. Col. Kathryn Ludlow.
Victim of a motorist's wheel, Rascal's life was finally
snuffed out, her heirs apparently doomed to wander homeless.
A good-hearted neighbor, however, extended a helping paw.
Happy, a two-year-old cocker spaniel owned by 1st Lt. Charlotte
Alby, took the five kittens into her custody and nursed them,
although Happy didn't have any pups of her own.
In time, Happy had the aid of a kitten-sitter. A mature
boxer named Princess owned by A/IC Joseph Canfield helped
guard the kittens and even adopted one of Rascal's brood.
The gingham dog and the calico cat and Walt Disney to the
contrary, canines and felines can be the best of neighbors.

The House has passed and sent

from $78 to $90 monthly the pension paid WWI veterans for nonservice connected disabilities.
The legislation provides that
veterans reaching 65 automatically qualify for the pension if their
income at the time is not more
than $1,400, if single, and $2,700,
if married.
The bill, passed by a 364-51

1951.
The dogs performed their duties
well, sniffing out hidden enemies
and avoiding ambushes. Soon
more scout and sentry dogs were
sent to "point" for men in battle.
After the end of the Korean
fighting, York was transferred to
Tokyo, slated for re-training in
sentry work. Veterinarians decided the bemedaled hero was too
old for the tough course, and recommended that he be "put away."
SP2 William A. Welsch ,a veterinary specialist at the Tokyo
K-9 Center, didn't agree. He appealed the sentence through channels, and now man and dog are
heading for Ft. Carson, where
York will sniff the sweet perfume
of fame until he gnaws his last
bone.

"Know the hazards," said the
WSPG Safety Office this week in
a special warning issued to those
planning ' vaaction trips.
Listed in the te~t of the statement were the following special
"hazard" conditions.
TRAFFIC-labelel:l as "public
enemy number one" by the Safety
Office at WSPG, traffic accidents
are the greatest crippler and
killer of Americans. Officials reminded drivers in the "hazards"
warning that there is a present
nationwide campaign in progress
approved by the President, the Department of Defense, and the
Governors of the 48 States labeled
"Slow Down & Live." "Simply
keeping this slogan in mind when
driving on your vacation may well
save the lives of you and your
family," said the warning.
VEGETATION-poison ivy and
poison sumac are two of the most
common forms of plant irritants
vacationers may contact. In each
case the irritant is an oily secretion which may be CO'flltacted
either directly from the :plalllts
themselves or indirectly from
other objects which have contacted the plants such as shoes.
Treatment consists of thorough
washing (not scrubbing) with hot
water and soap. Rubbing alcohol
and calamine lotion also will
help, officials concluded.
