Gin. R. McC. Pate Becomes 21st CMC Local Business

Aided by Marine

Buying Power Due p...aarily to an addition of

some 5,010 nrilitary personnel here last year, Hawaii received more than $21,000,000 over last year's spending by Naval personnel, 14th Naval District Headquarters reported this week.

According to a brief survey made by the WINDWARD MA- RINE, local business merchants, realtors and contractors in the Kailua-Lanikai area are all in ac- -iord that this personnel increase ontributed towards making 1955 .heir best business year to date.

Mr. Marion Sextom, president of Ite Kenna Rosiness Grasp and ...blister of the WINDWARD

REPORTER, said, It has bent weft established on the Windward side that the past December's business was from six to eight times greater, retaiLwise, &ea it was during similar periods of five years."

Sexton further stated that "As far as we (Business Group) can determine, Christmas business this year was nearly double a year ago. There can be no question but what the impact of, and increase in numbers of Marines at Kaneohe was responsible, in a large part, for this surge of business activity."

Manager of Piggly Wiggly's Hailer' branch, Mr. Bob Kends, said that their books show a de- finite increase in business during 195 and be feels that a large lien is due to the increase of Air

-ation personnel.

The total economic boost on Oa- hu from the Navy in 1955 was $17584.000. This year-end report includes exact amounts of local cost! for the first 11 months, es- timates for December and an es-

S5,000,000 spent by tran- .: personnel during ship and I stopovers.

Fads spent from Federal ap- D7r:ations totalled 2159,256,606.

:.irappropriated funds spent lo- cally came to 113,327.289.

Appraisal Team To Survey Naval Activities Here

An on-site survey group from the Navy Inspeetor General's office, Washington, D.C., is scheduled to arrive on Oahu Jan. 13, to begin a month-and-a-half appraisal of Naval activities within the 14th Naval District.

The 23-member itapection party, taaded by Rear Adm. T. C. Ragan, sill leave here Jan. 16 for a five- r-1y visit to Midway and Kwaja- lein Islands, returning Jan. 22 to ttiume the local surrey. They are iched,...led to arrive at Kaneohe Ian. 31.

First Check From Charity Drive Given to Local Community Chest

First slice of a 2220,000 charity melon was carved Dec. 30 by the Navy when a check for $55,505 went to the Honolulu Community Chest.

Eight other participating organizations will later get propor- tionate shares of the 14th Naval District's Combined Charity Drive collections for 1955, RearAdm. Schuyler N. Pyne, drive chairman said.

The drive, started Sept. 1, went 276,000 over its $144,0110 goaL Kaneohe personnel also exceeded their goal by pledging a combined total of $32,982.26. Task Force and the 4th Marines (Reinf.) pledged $25,774.26 and Air Station pledged 17.207.94.

This is the second year the combined Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard charity campaign has far exceeded its quota. The initial combined drive in 1954 met a 1125.000 target with 2200,000 in donations from civilian employees and service personnel of the three ser- ;ces.

Every one of the 58 activities

which participated, chiefly located on Oahu but including those at Kwajalein and Midway, exceeded goals assigned at the beginning of the 1955 campaign.

"It was a remarkably successful effort," Adm. Pyne said.

Fund allocations for charities officially recognized by the Navy campaign will be made during reg- ular annual fund collections, the Admiral said. Aside from the Com- munity Chest. they are:

American Red Cross, Hawaii Auxiliary of the Navy Relief So- ciety, Hawaii Cancer Society, Hawaii Heart Assn., National So- ciety for Crippled Childrer and Adults, Honolulu Armed Services YMCA, American-Korean Foun- dation, and Coast Guard Welfare.

Allocations are made by study- ing records of Navy, Marine Corps and C,.-ast Guard contributions of former years when drives were /separately conducted, weighing indis idual budgets of participating organizations and considering expressed preferences of donors, Adm. Pyne shid.

to appraise all Naval activities for efficiency of their support of current operating forces and ability to expand that support in the event of future mobilization.

The appraisal team v-411 make specific recommendations on minimum personnel levels to be main- tained at each activity, and on the enlargement, curtailment or elim- ination of activities.

Present plans call for comple- tion of the study on Feb. 20. The group will depart for the West Coast later that day.

NOTICE TO ALL CAMERA OWNERS

In accordance with Station Memo 9445. all privately owned cameras will be registered at the Main Gate pass office ne later than Feb. 1.

Civilian personnel residing on the Station will be permitted to possess registered cameras but are prohibited from taking pictures aboard the Station.

Military personnel may take piceares only i the immediate vicinity of living and recrea- t ional areas.

Ceremonies Held At Pentagon and MC Headquarters

Gen. Randolph McCall Pate is the 2 I st Commandant of 14 Ma- rine Corps. He stepped into his new duties and received his fourth star of office on Jan. I.

Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr. passed the duties of Commandant of the Marine Corps to then Lt. Gen. Pate a week ago today in a brief but colorful, "change of command" ceremony held at Marine Corps Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Earlier in the day, Dec. 30, in a ceremony witnessed by the Act- ing Secretary of the Navy and senior officers of the various services, General Pate was adminis- tered the oath of office by Rear Adm. Ira H. Nunn, USN, Judge Advocate General. The ceremony was held in the office of the Secre- tary of the Navy.

Following honors from the Ma- rine Corps Band and an hosier guard composed of troops from Henderson Hall and the Marine Barracks, Washington, D. C., Gen Shepherd delivered his farewell ad.. dress. "As I conclude my term as your Cons&aadant and retire from the Marine Corps I extend my warmest beat wishes to the officers, noocramiseioued cancers and enlisted men and women of our Corps. You rightfully hold the confidence and respect of the nation. I am confident that you always will," Gen. Shepherd said.

After the reading of orders, Gen. Shepherd presented the or- ganizationR1 colors to Gen. Pate signifying the passage of command. Following personal fare- wells, Gen. Shepherd was escorted to his car by Gen. Pate. As the car drove out of the gate, the band played "The Marines' Hymn."

Gen. Shepherd's retirement on Dec. 31 does not herald the end of a career of distinguished sei. vice. He will return to active duty in March to assume the important peat of Chairman of the Inter- American Defense Board.

Gen. Pate had been Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps for the past year and a half.

As Coridanding General of the First Marine Division in Korea, Gen. Pate was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Medal for 'as_ tute military judgment and dis- cretion in the deployment of his 'troops."

During World War IT he was cited for outstanding service in the Guadalcanal, Palau, Iwo Jima and Okinawa campaigns.

Prior to World War H. his foreign duty posts stretched from Santo Domingo to Ch`na.

A graduate of the Virginia Mili- tary Institute, Gen. Pate was com- missioned a 2nd Lt. in the Marine Corps in 1921.

EDITOR'S CORNER Credit Due

The WINDWARD MARNE believes in giving credit where credit is due. It k to our way of thinking that the cnlire main gate guard rates a special pat on the back and a well done in behalf of the com- mendably cheerful and polite way in which they manned the gate over the Holidays.

Not only were they keen in dress and military bearing, but every man jack of them offered a ''Merry Christmas" and a "Happy New Year." It contributed much toward the season's goodwill.-WAB

Liberty cannot be taken for granted. The current struggle for the minds of men shows why liberty must be militant to be vic- torious.

The founders cf international communism well knew the value cf a militant communist minority. Whatever we may think of they were great psychologists. They recognized that, curiously, man is

most complacent about things that mean most to him.

Armed with an "explanation" of "cleEs warfare," a minority of 20 million communist party members has succeeded in enslaving 822 million people. In the Soviet Union-and this always comes as a surprise -nearly 200 million people are kept in check by a total only seven million card-carrying party members.

these men,

In the free world. there are four million party members. But these men contro, some 26 million votes and 477 legislative seats cf free world governments.

Me^ of reason will see the blessing democracy is. But men are lazy. Therefore, we in the service should make it our job to be militant about democracy-to explain as best we can its virtues and advantages. Don't take democracy for granted. Only in that way will the Red menace be held in check.--(AFPS)

TRAFFIC RESOLUTION FOR '56 Don't Let Down If You're A "Survivor"

Friday, January 6, 1956

Known° Lew for your information 11110.- .11111/...111P.vipp. By SSGT. JOSEPH KALAKOWSKI

YOUR REACTION TIME You an driving your automo-

bile. Suddenly an emergency oc- curs. You ,ee it instantly, but while you realize the danger and moe your foot to apply the brakes, titre has gone by.

That interval is called "reaction time "

The most alert person, scientific tests show, needs not less than half a second to get the brakes to working. Many drivers require one, or one and )ne-half seconds. The average is 34 second.

Since at even 30 miles an hour your car travels 44 feet in one second, if you are an average man your car will travel 33 feet BE- FORE your brakes car. be applied.

Even the best brakes take tinge to stop a car. The scientific tests show that at 30 miles an hour on a dry road, four-wheel brakes in good conditions usually require 47 feet.

Add this 47 feet to your reaction time of 33 feet. and you have feet as the distance in which your car CAN BE STOPPED if going 30 miles an hour.

At 40 miles an hour, the distance is 128 feet; at 50 miles it is 186 feet. and at 60 miles it is 251 feet.

Thank about these distances when you are driving on the streets and highways-and don't take chances.

SKIDDING CAN 13F AVOIDED Most drivers lay the fault for

skidding on ice or snow. wet and oily roads, or on loose gravel. But these are only alibis. Try these suggestions:

1. On any slippery roadway, travel at moderate speed and with extra caution.

2. Reduce speed slowly; always slow down BEFORE you ssash to stop or turn.

3. Keep brakes adjusted and equalized. Never slam them on suddenly under bad road conditions.

4. Tires grip the road better if inflated moderately; hard tires skid more easily.

5. Chains may help to stop a skid, if you drive with caution; but chains cannot prevent skidding if you drive recklessly.

6. Avoid wet or icy car rails: cross at a wide angle.

7. Keep out of ruts in mud, or ice, or snow.

8. If you do skid, do not instantly slam on the brakes in a panic. Release the throttle, but leave the clutch engaged so that the engine will help to slow your car. Touch the brakes lig' tly. alternately ex- erting a little pressure and re- leasing them; and turn the steer- ing wheel in the direction of the skid.

(Ed. note: Last 'ummer, in this column, we *rote an article generalizing home loan plans for the servicemar. Since that time more information has been garnered relative to the local situation: Therefore, it was deemed propitious that pertinent portions of the former article be re-run. with emphasis on home loans for this area.) Except for one very important feature, buying a home ip the Terri-

tnta of Hawaii is similar to a Mainland purchase. There are two types of property available for your home. One is referred to as fee simple, which means you are buying the land with the house. The other is land lease a hich means you are buying tae home, but only lea=ing the land.

If the property is lease-land, make certain that the h-aae is 50 years. A careless purchase could find you in a very awkward position. If sou were buying a home and the lease expired the owner would ha'e a per- fect right to ask you to move, and to take your house with you.

When you have exhausted all the rental possibilities and decide to buy a home, on a low down payment, keep in mind you are housing your family comfortably and reasonably. Don't labor under the misapprehen- sion it is a particularly smart investment.

In the first place, you have paid approximately 5400.00 down on a $10,500 fee simple home. Your payments run about $66.00 a month for 30 years. It doesn't take much mathematics to figure you will have paid eirrost 523,000.00 for the home at the end of 30.

Rent it. after you leave? This is entirely feasible, especially with the current situation. However. your agent might have difficulty in findinc renters for much more than your pad mews if the housing situation becomes less critical.

An personnel contemplating a home loan should iealize they can secure their Eligibility Certificate here from the base insurance office.

Either Mr. Harry Knight or Vernon Davies can oblige the request. They are located in Building 256, across florn the Station Library, phone 72061.

Your company or squadron office will assist you in completing the form necessary to secure a certificate of eligibility here rather than hsse a four to ten week delay while you send for it from your home state.

In order to clarify portions of the Housing Act of 1954 it is presented here in a question and answer basis.

Who is eligible?

Any serviceman currently serving on active duty who has served on active duty in any of the Armed Forces for more than two years and who certifies that he requires housing.

The two years active service does not have to be continuous. Per- sonnel called to active duty for training purposes only are not eligible.

Once the Certificate of Eligibility is obtained, does the FHA make the desired loan?

No. Many servicemen are under the impression that the government :s the lender in both GI and FHA type loans, and that a loan is assurtd once a Certificate of Eligibility is secured.

The government does not lend any money or guarantee payment under the Housing Act of 1954. The Department of the Navy does, however, pay the mortgage insurance premiums on a loan secured by the use of a Certificate of Eligibility when the loan is within the maximum prescribed limits and the interest does not exceed 4h2 per cent per annum.

What is the minimum down payment now required'

This must be determined between the lender and the purchaser. A

down payment on a home can he as low as 5 per cent of the FHA ap- pra:sed value. Many lending institutions will not extend a loan unless at hoist 10 per cent of the purchase price is paid as a down payment. And some limit the terms of the loan to 25 years.

A (;own payment does not include closing costs. Average closing costs on a $10.000 home are approximately 5150.00. They graduate according to the cost of the home.

A home can be insured. even though the appraised value exceeds 518,000. In such a case the down payment must amount to at least the difference between 517,000 and the appraised value.

What is a mortgage insurance premium?

This is the premium that is payable to the FHA for insuring the loan. Normally the premiums, amounting to one-half of one per cent, are paid by the bora °wen but under the Housing Act of 1954. the Navy pays these prealiums as long as the property is owned.by the serviceman and he remains on active duty.

Is it possible to obtain the benefits of the act if one has already purchased a home insured by the FHA?

Not normally. Under certain conditions, however. it :s possible to secure a second certificate for a home when transferred to another area. However. the Navy pays mortgage insurance on only one home.

Can an FHA insured loan be repaid prior to the expiration of the mortgage'

Yes. It may be repaid in whole prior to the expiration.

Can payment,: on a home loan be paid by a Navy or Marine allotment'

Yes. A class "11- allotment.

Will a housing loan. obtained while on active duty. bar servicemen from getting a GI loan after separation from active duty'

Ao. Nor will a previous GI loan prevent you from receiving an FHA insured loan after separation

Can a serviceman. after he has contracted to purchase a home. aban- don the contract at an time in the future without monetary loss'

Ability and 'Able' Are Synonymous; 1st Bn's Top Company Always Wins

BY SGT BOB MCLEAN At a meeting of the officers and men cf "A" Co 1st Bn. 4th

Marines(Reinf), Wedresday. Dec 28, Lt. Co:. John A. Lindsay commanding officer of the 1st Bn, personally congratu:ated the officers and t4CO's on their outstanding leadership and the men on their exce!lent

In his commendation of the company. Lt. Col. Lindsay read a list of the achievements that the unit has made since the 4th Ma- r:nes arrived in Hawaii last Feb- ruary.

The company holds the regimental record for requalification last year and FMFac is now search- ing the records to see if there has ever been a better percentage. Aside from this, the unit boasts one of the best pistol shots and BAR men on the island.

SSgt. Robert E. Herrington holds the individual high score for the Windward Intramural Pistol League. He is al.;o top man of the expert class in the 14th Naval District. PFC James J. Burgoyne holds the BAR record on the Air Station range.

It was not unusual that Com- pany "A" received an excellent to outstanding in the recent regimental inspection. The unit has come to he known as the show case of the regiment.

All of the recent VIP visitors, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Army, have visi- ted Company "A". As Maj. Conk- lin, Br, executive officer stated. "The men in this outfit can be ready for any visitor within a matter of minutes."

Recently the recereation room became a Christmas showcase under the leadership of Sgt. Ralph E. Gibbs and Cpl. Michael R. Za- borowski. The snow on the w n- ciow gavo a cooling effect to the room and there was a large file place to "warm" by. The recreation room took a first place-thirty dollars-in the regimental display contest.

Cpl. Richard M. Manning of the second platoon really put his fin- ger on it when he said. "Our men thrive on competition." Company "A" took first place in the battalion drill team conte:zt. In the recent battalion field day it was Company "A" that came out on top.

In sports and other activities, the outfit has not let up a minute. In the Combined Charities Drive, (ompan. "1" had a larger per- centatra rontrittottitin thaw anti-

for underprivileged children.

The company won the battalion volleyball and the flag football championsh:ps. Cpl. J. N. Aycock, who with three other men from the company is on the battalion softball Team that won the regimental championship, put it this way, "There's a lot of team spirit and the whole company backs up the teams."

Company "A" has three representatives on the battalion basketball team that now stands at the top of the Air Station League. Cpl. Richard M. Manning, PFC Pave E. Butler also represent th company on the station wrestling team.

A record like this sets even the least curious to speculating. The unit itself is too busy to think of its achievements or rest on its laurels. However, a few fleeting comments of the officers and men are significant.

Sgt. Ralph E. Gibbs commented, "A good start is important." When the company first arrived from Ja_ pan, they field-dayed their bar_ racks day and night for five days. After their first successful inspec- t:on. the company commander com- plimented them. Ever since that good start the company has been all out.

Lt. Charles L. Harrison, who is acting company commander, while Capt. Harold T. White is on leave. stated that the driving force be- hind the company was the company commander and the gunnery sergeant, TSgt. Charles A. John- son. On this score there seems to he universal agreement.

Lt. Harrison continued, "Capt. White is a Marine's Marine. He believes in close personal contact with the troops; he keeps the troops personally informed on all subjects." This attitude combined with the driving force of the gunnery sergeant makes for good team work.

"Whatever company I'm in," commented Sgt. Johnson. "is going to be the best, and this company is the best."

With Leadership and 5upervision of this caliber the achievement af

Record Breaks; Bugle Calls Piped 'Live

For tNo days this week the me- chanical age gave way to man as bugle calls' were sounded just as they were in the old Carps" - live!

The reason for this sudden turn of events was the breaking of the recording which rules our daily

amminmamm.". lives with its 21 bugle calls.

PFC Emmett C. Williams, security detachment, H&HS, was called upon to put his nine years of trumpet experience to use by sounding the calls live and later cutting a new recording in Hono- lulu.

Williams, who hails from Lex- ington, Mo., not only plays the trumpet, but trombone, saxaphone, alto horn and drums. The versatile PFC played with the 3d Marine Division Band at Camp Pendleton in 1952 and the San Diego MCRD Band in 1955.

Prior to joining the Marine Corps in April, 1952, Williams at- tended Wiley College, Marshall, Tex. and Flint Junior College, Flint, Mich. He has played pro feesionally with Manton More- land's Review in Flint and plans to continue his professional music career upon discharge.

Butdiang. by

jack mills Something rico, in the way of mascots has been added. This one.;

the mascot of the local Informational Services Office and her name is Harriet. Rank as yet is not designated.

Harriet is a weaver of intricate things. She is beautiful. Yellow and black with a little orange thrown in. Unlike most women you know she has four times as many gams as you would think. Eight, in case the woman you were thinking about has four legs.

Like I Said, Harriet is something of a novelty in the way of mascots. Harriet's a spider.

Before the spiaz>r-haters among you grimace and start to tear the paper up let me hasten to say that Harriet is a very well mannered spider. And after all. there's really a lot of good things to be said about spiders. I can only think of one right now.

But to get back to Harriet. She first came to our attention some three weeks ago as she was spinning her web outside the editor's window. Nobody paid much attention then. It was after the recent Kona storms that she really came to 44'4, and life around here changed considerably.

During the first night of the storms one of the office windows came open. In Sur working space we have four offices. To make a long story short, parts of the four offices changed places.

What a mess. After the mess had been surveyed, somebody wondered where

Harriet had been blown to. A glance out the editor's window ouickiy showed that Harriet had not blown anywhere. There she web big as

life. Her web had fared much better than our offices. Indifference turned to admiration for the spunky spider who had

survived what we had not. But we were worried lest ensuing storms should rip her loose.

Suggestions ranged from building a steel Kona-proof but around her to soldering her web in place.

Harriet could care less. Every time we approached her with a sol-

dering iron she would rear up in d-fiance. We finally let her alone and she survived all the storms by herself.

This rearing-up came to be a form of salutation on the part of Har- riet, and every time -,omeone would step by the window to look at her she would rear up and wave a leg. We all agreed it was quite a trick for a solder to learn, and we all look expectantly toward the day when

Harriet will talk back to us.

That's the rather uninteresting -tory of Harriet. Oh, yes. How do we know she's a Harriet? Well. she's goi..g to

have babies. probably several hundred if the bug books are correct. Mother's fine and the egg'sr doing well.

Whirlybirds, loaded to the maximum with MABS-13 personnel and gear. rise vertically, bank shai ply Days go by and the enemy is into the wind and head for the area. chased far inland. MABS-13 has

set up a self-sufficient. independ- ent air station for the Group to operate successfully against the foe. all supporting the 4th "in the field."

nance dumps are put into action suppoiting fighters and attack bombers. GCA vans are set up to bring pilots home in bad weather.

Previously, while MABS sweated it out aboard the carrier. the scene had been different . . . LVTs are dodging shellt. and transporting combat troops to heavily shelled beaches.

Small "cans," big ships, pump salvo after salvo into the attack area. Powder clouds rise over trem- bling decks. Marines shove off in attacking waves.

Zooming Marine aircraft dip and weave, strafe, rocket. bomb and napalm enemy positions. They blast anything and everything.

Deafening explosions of large shells. cannons. bombs, rockets, mike-mikes, small rifle chatter of friend and foe. merge with the beaches' meshing gears.

THE 4TH MARINES HAVE HIT THE BEACH!

Supportnig MAG-13 squadrons zoom off carrier decks. ADs fly their missions. strafe bomb and napalm the opposition. Jets. close by. support the foot troops and. hundreds of miles away. on patrol. knock down any enemy aircraft daring, to show a nose.

'Choppers shuttle casualties, lift troops. transport supplies. and connect off-shore troop ships and attack area.

The 1st Provisional Marine Air_ Ground Task Force. dealing a 3_D amphibious - air borne operation, pushes the foe inland and seeks shelter from hill positions.

Beschhead secured, Marines attack inland driving all resistance from an airfield the MAG wants. Sea Bees fly in by 'coptsr, unlim- ber equipment and repair the strip for Task Force operations.

Stmultaneously. MABS-13 ar- rives to prepare area for use as an air base.

Back. beck. the foe is driven by the regiment. Aided by attacking MAG-13 aircraft. supported with reinforcements. supplies and ammo by group egg-beaters. the 4th Ma- rines push on for complete enemy at.nihilat ion.

Meanwhile. MABS-13 goes into action.

Sleeping quarters are set up. heads and showers built, mesa facilities erected. aircraft operation centers established. fuel and oil farms. ordnance storage. and ex- ternal communications are inte- g-ated for the group.

As cargo piles 3p on the beach. MABS-13 prepares the facilities for motor transport service and for the repair of vehicles. Fuel and oil farm are set up and ord-

Post office. PX and special services operated by MABS-13 relieve the monotony for the troops.

All the necessary facilities an.1 services (except airfield construction) have been provided for by MABS.

Everything from camp maintenance. food services, security. base operations. communications. ordnance. crash crew. GCA and special services. to medical. dental and religious tasks come directly under the mission of MABS-13 in the field.

MABS-13 has no aircraft. yet in the hypothetical operation de- scribed above. it is the hub around which other M.kG-13 squadrons revolve.

MABS-13 receives few presenta- tions to do with "glory." but if the squadron shut down. so would the MAG.

This is so because MABS-13. ba- sically. is the "boarding - house keeper" for the Group.

Presently, at Kaneohe, MABS.13 acts as "little brother" to the Air Station, assisting the station in functions. tasks, and missions which would be its job in the field.

For example. more than half of the squadron personnel are TAD to the various departments of the station for training in station operations. crash crew. security, sta_ tion ordnance. mess halls and public works.

Some of the functions which are carried out exclusively by MABS-

13 here are: operating group message center and refueling aircraft on the MAG-13 flight line. To pro_ vide fuel for the planes, personr.,1 work both day and night hours.

Another responsibility of the motor pool and its 800 vehicles is the repair. service and maintenance of anything vehicular concerned with MAG-13 squadrons.

Under the command of Maj. H. D. Kuokka. MABS-13 has the largest volume of Marine material in the Group, most of it boxed up and ready to move for setting up operations in the field.

Along with the motor pool, re. fueling and GCA rank as the three most important missions of MABS- 13 at Kaneohe. next to the funda- mental task of being in a state of readiness to operate as Marine A ir Base Squadron in the

Army to Continue

Trying Civilian

Crimes Overseas (AFPS)-The Army has decid-

ed that the Uniform Code of Military Justice still gives it authority to try civilians chargi.sci

with crimes while accompanying the Armed Forces overseas. The Army's decision was reached in face of a recent Federal court ruling invalidating an Air Force court martial in Britain which cons-jilted the wife of an AF sergeant of his murder.

in the AF case a Federal judge here declared that the services had no constitutional right to try civilians. The case is expected to be appealed to a higher court by the Justice Department acting on behalf of the Defense Depart- ment.

In answer to a press query. the Army said that, despite the court ruling in the Air Force case, "the Army feels it still has authority to proceed under Article 2, Section 11 of the Code of Military Justice against civilians accompanying the Army outside the continental limits of the U.S."

Plan Your Family Budget for '56 It Makes for Smoother Living

9

By SGT. WAYNE A. BUTTERBAUGii Wni!e discussing the 4amily budget problem with a friend the other

day he complained that The on'y trouio;e with our income is, there's not enough of it."

Since this is the start of a new year-Leap Year at that-and our New Year's resolutions are fresh on our minds, it might be an appro- priate time to plan our way to bet_ ter living.

This friend of mine isn't alone in his complaint. Practically esery- one feels as though they are in the same boat; a boat which is sometimes referred to as a sinking canoe. Yet the fact is that plenty of people live on far less than most of us would belies e possible. Some times they even manage to save a little. Family counselors say the reason most people don't save more is either (1) not enough w ill- power or (2) not eneugh urge.

You might say to yourself that you have both the will-power and the urge but still can't make the green stuff stretch. However, with the right kind of PLANNING, here are some steps which can afford a better way of life for you and your family.

FIRST STEP . . . is to call a family confer-

ence. And thi-. doesn't mean sit down, thump the table and declare, "This family has to save more!" It just doesn't work.

The .eason it won't work is that EARNING money and SPENDING money is a group activity. Every- one helps earn: everyone should help spend. The children contrib- ute when they clean the furnace so Dad can get some extra needed rest. Mom is earning continually by doing the household chores and serving good. nutritious meals with inexpensive makings. Eig. little. and in-between members are earning w hen they make harmony. good feeling. contentment and a sense of family bond in the home.

So - discuss ALL income. Ex- actly how much can be counted on, including Junior's- paper route earnings. Then check over your "must" expenses. How much for rent, food. clothing, insurance. tax_ es, installment payments and past due bills? The remainder is what is left for day-to-day living.

Next. set your sights. Decide what you are saving FOR! A vaca_ tion Bette!. clothes? A new car? Down payment on a home? T' catch up on back bills? DECIDE WHAT: because if you want more of THIS, you've got to give up some of THAT. If you want a deep freeze badly enough. you may have to forget your vacation this year. On a smaller scale. an extra movie for the family may mean cutting out desserts for a week. Plan now what you want in the future!

NEXT STEP . . . take a I-o_n-g. hard gander

at some of those "must" expenses. CAR-Accountants say the av-

erage car. with average usage, no:mal depreciation. fuel consump_ tion, repairs and insurance. costs $860 a year! High? Yes-and maybe you can operate for less-but you're still spending a lot of money for transportation. even if you knock a hundred or two off that figore.'Granted that here it might well be a necessity. Nevertheless. at your next duty station take a good look. You claim that you need the car to get to work. Or that your wife needs it for shopping. Well - suppose you joined a car pool and moved closer to shopping areas!' You could still afford to pay $5 or $10 more for rent and might very well come out two or three hundred dollars a year ahead. even if you're paying a little more for rent and slight inconvenience. This is equivalent to a 15 cent lir hour raise.

FOOD According to a recent article by

a well known dietitian. you can knock off 25 pe- cent of your meat bill with the aid of two kitchen gad. gets-your meat grinder and 3our pressure cooker. Grind leftovers in- to tasty casseroles. patties and other low-cost dishes. And use your pressure cooker to tenderize the toughest. cheapest cuts of meat in- to the kind of entrees you'd expect to find in goo restaurants.

To shop well, be sure to plan

your meals SEVERAL DAYS AHEAD! Spot the "special'. ip the ads, and make up your shopping list before you go to the store. Why? Because supermarkets are money traps. Store owners are well aware of the fact that many women dont plan ahead. They kno,s- women - and men. too - love to wander around picking up whatever "looks good." This is called "impulse buying" and operators use it to push their high profit luxury items through mass dis- plays. attractive posters and sci- entifically convenient locations. To save money, SHOP HARD, plan ahead and avoid "impulse buying." You'll still eat well, heartily, and less expensively.

CLOTHES Since the time man first began

wearing shoes. nothing has ever been invented to wear them out faster than growing children. And its much the same with clothes. The a' erase family spends around Slob a year. but sizable savings can he made by home sewing. Most communities have adult education centers that hold sewing classes. What about teaching the growing girls of the family' If you're tem- porarily stalled for lack of a sewing machine don't overlook the fact that mans appliance stores will rent you a machine at a nominal fee.

TEST YOURSELF No matter what your income,

large or small. PLANNED SPENDING will help you buy more of the things you want mo :t. Check yourself against these rules of thumb; then see where and how you can revise yorr outgo:

RENT-You shouldn't be payina more than 25 per cent of sour income. If you make $250 a month. $52.50 is about right.

CHARGE ACCOUNTS - Your bills at the grocery. department store, dress shop shouldn't amount to more than two week's total income per month.

INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS- Add up what you still owe on the television. refrigerator. car and furniture. If it's more than eight weeks' income you have been over- buying.

HOME PURCHASE-Two and one half of your annual income is about the most you should pay for a home. So, if you make $3,000 a year, your top price is $7,500.

Good financial habits put cash in the piggy bank. They help build your credit standing so that in an emergency. hospitals. doctors, mer_ chants and landlords are willing to help out.

Tahitian Dances Tittilate Local Nite Club Crowd

A local Marine who only recently arrived aboard the Air Station from the Mainland wasted little or no time confirming a "rumor" now making the rounds on the West Coast.

The "rumor" is that local girls are lowering their skirts to the hips. adopting Tahitian stage names and learning to wiggle twice as fast, to meet the growing demand for Tahitian dancing in Waikiki.

Reports our first hand observer, "Man. there's nothing like it in Kansas - as a matter of fact, California either."

Real Tahitian imports can also be found in some of the "Big PX" nighteries. If she doesn't have feathers around her hips, she's probably from Tahiti. Feathers are strictly a local addition to other- wise authentic Tahitian costumes and dances. according to Kent Ghirard. island entertainer.

Samoan entertainment, especially the dramatic knfe dance. is also gaining popularity as local performers look south for something new. However. Marines who know best say nothing brings the gleam to a man's eye like the dances of Tahiti.

MARINE CORPS "FIRSTS"

On Jan. 8, 1852. the first land- ing in what is now the Republic of Nicaragua by U.S. Marines was that of a funeral party from the SARANAC which landed at San Juan del Sur to bdry Marine Cpl. Emory M. Vandever.

On March II, 1853, the Marines landed from the CYAWE for the first time for proteetiot, of Amer- ican lives and property that were in danger from hostile natives.

Marine' Admiral' In 2nd MarDiv

CAMP LEIEUNE, N. C.- A never-sinking admiral in the Ma- rine Corps-sounds fantastic doesn't it--hit it's true.

The fact that he hails fr^m Neversink, N. Y., further cements the old adage "Trtith is Stranger Than Ficion.'

He is PFC Admiral Nelson Don- ovan ID, a wire communication man wit/ "B" Bty., 1st Bn., 10th Marines, an artillery regiment of the Second Marine Division.

The atiqup flame %hitch the youthfu' cannoneer wears stems from a profound admiration his great grandfather, an Irishman from County Cork, had for the famous English naval hero. Adm. Horatio Nelson. Nelson, you mac recall, olimaxed his illustrious naval carer with a great victory at Cap. Trafalgar on October 21, 1815 in which he broke the back of Napleon's sea forces. It was it this battle that Adm. Nelson w as mortally wounded.

Unlile his namesake, the present cky Admiral Nelson, Don- ovan. that is, professes a strong dislike !or anything nautical.

It as late 1950 that he decided to acquire one of the prime requisites of a good sailor-the ability :o swim. This came from a harrowing experience while playing water tag in a munici- pal swinming pool in Johnson City, N. V. He jumped off the diving hoard aid soon realized that he could not swim. He stated "After that near fatality. I went home and leareLd how."

Neve-k, N. Y.. the home- port of the non-nautical Marine admiral was so named by the Mohaw: Indians because of the swift fbwing waters of th. Never- sink River. The Indians claimed that wtatever the threw into the rushing stream failed to sink.

The third admiral in the Dono- van family-his father and grandfather are also Admiral Nelson Donovtns-has two sisters, Helen and Rath. who have stuck to the script of having nothing to do with au-thing nautical. They have since married into the Army. A younger. brother, Duane, will do nothing to break the spell. as he plans t. follow his brother's foot- steps bv. enlisting in the Marine Corps as soon as he comes of age.

His d alike for deep water arose from tle many floods along the Neversiak River during his child- hood and the near-drowning inci- dent at Johnson City.

Sayonara Nears

For 3rd MarDiv According to a joint announce-

ment made by Maj. Gen. Thomas A. Wornham. Third Marine Divi- s;on commanding general. and Gen. I. D. White, commander of Army Forces Far East. a "command echelon" of Third Marine Division headquarters would be set up at Okinawa this week. This will pave the way for transfer of additional Marine units from Japan to the island fortress, it was further declared.

"The purpose of the move." the announcement said. "is to establish closer contact with the Marine Corps' permanent construction pro- jects planned for Okinawa.**

It will involve only "limited numbers" of headquarters personnel now stationed at Camp Mc- Gill in Japan, the spokesmen said.

Third MarDi.- units stationed now in Japan will eventually all be based on Okinawa according to a recent Defense Department announcement. Gen. Woniham will command both headquarters eche- lons on Okinawa and Japan.

FUTURE 'COPIER -This is a full-scale model of the future XH-40 helicopter which its designers say will be able to climb as well as WWII fighter planes and has a speed matching many of today's light airplanes. Developed by Bell Aircraft, the XH-40 is designed for all-around combat use. The six place craft has a free-power tur- bine engine, the first to be installed in a helicopter. Bell engineers predict it will be able to carry double the payload of utility helicopters presently in use. Boasting many innovations, the XH-40 Bell says, will be the first helicopter to have a 1,000-hour flight period between overhauls compared to the present 500-600 hours. The model doesn't have the main rotor blades installed.

Star-Studded Rosters

i Six Leathernecks to Participate in

Hula Bowl Contest Sunday Afternoon Six Marines end two former Marines will be in the Hawaii All-Star

lineup which will face a group of picked College All-Stars in the te-th annual Hula Bowl game at Honolulu Stadium Sunday afternoon, Jan. B.

The former Marines are San Francisco 49er tackle Leo Nomellini and

Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch, veteran Los Angeles Rams end.

The six active-duty Marines received bids to play in the post- season game because of their stel- lar play for the Hawaii Marines during the '55 season. They are end Merrill Jacobs. tackles Dewey Wade and Don Deskins. guards Joe Logan and Howard Evans, and center Freddy Mart:n.

Martin. Jacobs, Deakins and Lo- gan were named to the Hawaiian University-Armed Forces Confer. ence All-Star team. Wade was picked on the second squad of the Armed Forces Press Service's All- Star team. He signed with the 49ers last spring.

Deskins wilis a first -teas choice on the Navy Times All-Sea Serv- ice eleven this .ear.

In addition to Nomellini and Hirsch, nine other pros will play with the Hawaii All-Stars. They are end Bill McColl. Chicago Bears; tackle Al Lolotai, pro-wrestler who was with the now defunct Los Angeles Dons; guards Herman and Jim Clark. of the Bea.-s and Wash- ington Redskins: center Matt Ha- zeltine. quarterback Y.

supply of energy, clunkirg a couple of impress-ye shots Whitey Powell got into the act, too, and mixed in some smooth

ploying with his over-eagerness. Dittmar, Johnr and several others showed their stuff against the

tired Musketeers.

Ben Stewart iced the tilt last Friday night when he tipped in A! Stevens' miss in the closing seconds of the University of Hawaii-Hawaii Marines clash.

The final score, an unexciting 61-60, desp.te the close score. Neither team was up to par, and plays refused to c'ick. -Hipper-dipper- stuff just didn't have it and the blam3 fell

to over-excitement and a failure to settle down. But the fact remains, it WAS the Marines seventh straight

win. And That's what counts in the record book

about a million returns are filed every year with signatures mis- sing.

Little slips in arithmetic last year resulted in OVERPAY- MENTS by taxpayers of 818,- 000.010. Although these overpay- ments are returned eventually, the taxpayer shouldn't rely on the government to save him from all his mistakes.
