BG Gaskil

Individuals from two con­tras ting professions will highlight WSMR's Black History Week observance, February 12-18. · On the 17th there will be a luncheon at the Officer's Club which will feature Brigadier General Robert C. Gaskil as speaker. On the same day, Bishop Joseph A. Francis will present a mini seminar entitled "The Black Religious Ex­perience in America" at the post theater.

Brigadier General Gaskil is the Deputy Commandant at the · U.S. Army War College. He started his military career in 1952 after receiving a com­mission as a Distinguished Military Graduate of Army ROTC from Howard Univer­sity, Washington, D.C.

He received a bachelor's degree (Cl'"' Laude> from

· Alexander says ...

Howard. He also has a master's degree in business administration from George Washington University, also in Washington, D.C.

In general, his career has included a variety of com­mand, staff, and teaching assignments in the United States, Europe, Korea and in Vietnam in the professional areas of logistics, comp­trollership and personnel management. Among BG Gaskil's commands was Letterkenny Army Depot- a DARCOM installation.

Ge.ski! has been active in chapel and other community affairs . He has also been a frequent guest speaker in fields such as human relations, executive development and professional ethics. His other interests include bowling, tennis · and professional

writing. Bishop Francis is an

Auxiliary Bishop of the Newark, N.J. Archdiocese and was the fourth black priest ordained a bishop in the U.S.

He was born in Lafayette, La. and went to elementary school there. When he was seven he reportedly told a neighbor he was going to be a priest. The neighbor replied, "you can't, you're colored."

He made it though. He continued his education at the Divine Word Father's St. Augustine's Seminary in Bay St. Louis, Miss. and at St. Mary's Seminary, Techny, Ill. He was ordained in 1950 and later earned a master's degree from Catholic University of America.

Like a military man, Bishop Francis has had many and varied jobs. He has served as

an instructor , assistant director for the Holy Rosary Institute, parish ad­ministrator, school principal and president of the Black Catholic caucus.

One of his achievements was the founding of Verbum Dei High School in 1962 in the Watts section of Los Angeles. During the riots and blood shed of the 60s the school came through unscratched. He doesn't see much improvement in the condition of two separate, unequal societies since the 60s and he feels the Church should work to influence the political process so that the hungry are feed, the old are cared for and the children in school.

Bishop Francis' motto is "Liberty, Peace and Justice."

Murray top soldier Specialist 4 Kevin R. Murray

was chosen Soldier of the Month for January.

Murray, a meteorological observer assigned to ASL, was first chosen as Soldier of the Month at ASL. He then com­peted against nominees from all major Army units at the range. The soldiers were judged on their knowledge of military subjects, per-

formance of duty, appearance, military bearing and leader­ship potential.

A native of Farmingdale, N.Y., Murray joined the Army in July 1975. He underwent basic training at Ft. Dix, N.J., and before coming to White Sands in December 1976 was stationed at Tooele Army Depot, Tooele, Utah.

Murray and his wife, JoAnn, have one son, James Robert. Murray is the son of Robert and Lorraine Murray of Farmingdale, N.Y.

As the missile range's top soldier for January, SP4 Murray will receive a special three-day pass, a $25 Savings Bond and free use of certain recreational activities on post.

In Las Cruces he will receive free weekend use of a new car from University Ford, free lodging from the Mote Association, a gift of clothing from S&H Men's Mart and free meals from McDonalds and Village Inn. He will also be eligible for Soldier of the. Quarter competition at the§ ran~. ~

"The man or woman who has chosen to serve our country in uniform-regardless of the length of that service- is en­titled to the best we can of­fer .. . The younger enlisted people are sometimes unfairly ignored in our plans," said Secretary of the Army Clifford Alexander, at the last public hearing, January 18, of the President's Commission on Military Compensation.

He called for a "quality of life" criteria and an im­provement in adequate housing, medical care, retirement and educational opportunities.

Since that hearing Secretary of Defense Harold Brown has stated that the Pentagon is planning to provide travel and transportation entitlements for the dependents of junior enlisted soldiers assigned overseas. The entitlements are part of the FY 1979 defense budget which was recently released. The cost of the en­titlements will be $88 million.

Details of the entitlements will be released soon . Ironically, one of the congressmen who is often identified as an adversary of the military, Les Aspin, played a major role in putting the

money in the budget. Before this budget, the Jaw

permitted junior enlisted grades to be reimbursed for family moving costs, but Congress never provided the funds for it.

Aspin said, "the present system saves money, but it does so by imposing the burden exclusively on the lowest paid service families ." He called it "shafting the private." Aspin added that "besides being unfair, this (current) restriction certainly doesn't encourage volunteers for the services."

This problem of the travel

and transportation en­titlements is being worked out. But other areas that Secretary Alexander emphasized still need action.

In his address, Alexander hammered hard on the topic of housing. He noted that the Army currently houses none of its E-4s or below who have Jess than two years of service, only 26 percent of junior NCOs and 31 percent of senior NCOs.

Saying that many enlisted and officer Army members live in substandard housing, he added that, "It is not un­common to find soldiers in cold water flats." Alexander also

pointed out that others live in trailers without heat or run­ning water, and that he knows of housing in which a soldier and four dependents live in one room.

Special housing problems exist at Fts. Polk, La. ; Stewart, Ga. and Ord, Calif. , where the secretary said almost four thousand Army families Jive in unsuitable rented housing.

Alexander asked the com­mission to consider additional funding for leased housing in civilian communities, building more government quarters and providing additional allowances within the U.S. to compensate for high housing costs in certain areas.

Defense budge gets bigger

According to Fred Wacker, DOD's Comptroller , the defense spending program for FY 1979 is $115.2 billion.

The defense budget request, which has been sent to Congress, is actually for $126 billion in total obligation authority (TOAL The $10.8 billion difference between TOA and the actual spending program lets the Pentagon allow for long range programs like aircraft and shipbuilding.

Secretary of Defense Harold Brown said that it is an "austere but adequate budget, which maintains and improves a strong national defense posture."

In a briefing on the budget, Brown noted that more than 50 percent of the defense budget goes to cover personnel costs. About $57 billion of the planned $115.2 billion will go to pay civilian and military per­sonnel, family housing and retirees.

Broken down further, nearly $29 billion is allocated for military personnel and $10.2 billion for retired pay.

However , Brown stressed that all the weapons and systems and programs would be nothing without "our

lpeople." "The men and women

of the Defense Department, military and civilian, are the foundation of our strength, a foundation we must keep fir­m ," he said.

At the same time , other defense officials said that there is a slight decline in defense manpower costs over previous years because of planned personnel cuts in FY 1979. Brown said that total obligation a uthority for military personnel will decling by about one percent or $20 million .

This comes at a time when it is expected that about 43,000 more annuitants will be added to the military retired rolls during the fiscal year. This would bring the total number of retirees in FY79 to about 1.2 million.

The decline in manpower costs will come from a reduction in active duty strength of about 20,000, and in Reserve strength of about · 14,000 said Brown . He added that the civilian employee workforce would be reduced by about 13,000.

"These reductions are associated with past and an­ticipated improvements in efficiency and effectiveness," 'Rrown said.

Dear Editor, In concern over increasing commuter bus fares, the -

observation has been made that some military per­sonnel ride the buses free. The practice now is proper and legal and has been approvoo in the annual WSMR bus utilization plan for many years.

Now that military pay and benefits are at par with civilian employees, however is the policy of "civilians pay-military free" still a valid one?

NAME WITHHELD

let's keep Veterans Preference

By Peter S. Cooke Fort Douglas, Utah

Did you know that about one half of the 15 million civil service jobs in this country are held by veterans of the armed services?

One reason is that our society repays the sacrifices of its defenders by favoring them over others seeking federal em­ployment. Some citizens resent this practice, but they get little sympathy from the Supreme Court.

The court nullified a lower court ruling that the "veterans preference" law in Massachusetts was unconstitutional because it discriminated against women. well on several civil service examinations but lost out in the job race to male veterans with lower scores.

The lower court called this assistance to veterans a worthy purpose but ruled that the state should find a better way to accomplish it without penalizing women, few of whom are veterans.

"In practical application," the lower court said, the law "absolutely and permanently forecloses on the average 98 percent of this state's women from obtaining significant civil service appointments."

Our society has rewarded its soldiers as long as it has fought wars, such as giving grants of land, bonuses, college tuition and other rewards for military service.

The first law favoring veterans in hiring practices was passed by the Plymouth Colony in 1936. Today, 46 states have such laws. Usually, preference is given in the form of five or 10 extra points to raise earned scores on civil service tests.

We cannot afford not to continue to support our soldiers in this matter.

Gospels are open

Right vs. left paradigm traps us by Chaplain Robert L. Hartfield

We make much of being liberal or conservative in our society. This was true from the beginning. The Whigs and Tories, the Federalists and Republicans, contrasted the views of State's rights with centralized power.

Today, conservatives seek to maintain the status quo of a bureaucratic system which envolved over two centuries. The idea of returning to a rural America with brackets on legitimate Federal functions is so outlandish that its labeled libertine conservatism.

The conservative-liberal scenarie is extraneous to the christian church. However, as churches purport to stand on doctrines abstracted from Scripture that Scripture becomes bound and we become blinded as liberal-<:onservative lines are drawn.

The nature of Scripture defies blinders. Men may box themselves in with the nine dot paradigm, but Scripture remains free. Unfortunately, a liturgical prayer too often becomes a repitition of empty words, " ... that Thy Word may

have free course and be preached to the joy and edifying of 'Christ's holy people."

Jesus took liberties with Scripture which today's liberals and conservatives don't allow. In John 10:31-38 the Jews are about to stone Jesus for blasphemy. Jesus counters with the Scrip­ture, "Ye are gods." Since God called men gods, why do you stone me for calling myself the Son of God. Of course to blinded minds the valid argument didn't take. But the point is that we don't dare misquote context.

The liberal-conservative scenairo has taken its toll. We have developed a mind set in accordance with the nine dot paradigm. The scenario has developed a point scale ranging from con­servative to liberal. Everything and everybody is mercilessly subjected to that scale. The process has made us cannibalistic . We stumble in the controversy of accusation and condemnation.

In our strife we not only become a laughing stock, but losers. Scripture condemns all. The tattling fingers we point become totally irrelevant. "There is none that doeth good and sinneth not. No, not one."

The nine dot paradigm is a box of eight dots with the ninth in 'the center. The object is to connect all dots with four straight, connecting lines. It becomes obvious when one draws a line extending outside the box. That is precisely the point of the free course of the Gospel.

The Scripture which condemns all points us to Him who has saved all. Jesus entered our box of sin. That sin He took with Him as He stepped into the pangs of Hell. He put it all together as He opened the path to Heaven.

Beginning on Wednesday, February 8, the church once again follows the course of Jesus' suffering. May we also receive courage from above that we may step from our own nine dot boxes and follow Him along His road of sufferings. For its only after we follow Him along His road of sufferings that we become conquerors over sin, death and the devil. And as conquerors we are allowed to continue on His road which leads to Heaven.

Hunger can be helped "Most Americans want to

help feed starving people overseas, but don't know who. We are bombarded by the cruel statistics of hunger on a daily basis, and the average person feels overwhelmed by the size of the problem of global famine . Yet, we have found that when we show Americans a way to relate to the problem, they help in the traditional unselfish way the United States has always responded to the needs of the less fortunate,'' says Chaplain Ralph Fishburn, WSMR Staff Chaplain, on the eve of the Lenten hunger project sponsored by the chapel.

He continues, "people in our congregations have become

concerned and want to do something positive to help combat the world hunger situation. We learned that a majority of the world goes to bed hungry and some 10,000 people die every day from starvation."

The people of the chapel congregations have decided to help in some tangible way and to participate in the national "Love Loaf" program. Small coin containers, shaped like miniature loaves of bread, will be distributed to the families of the chapel on Sunday.

''These loaves will be kept on the dinner tables," explains Chaplain Fishburn, ' ·as a reminder that while we have much , others have little or

GIDEP stands for Govern­ment-Industry Data Exchange Program. It is a cooperative activity between Government and industry participants seeking to reduce or eliminate expenditures of time and money by making maximum use of existing knowledge.

The program provides a means to exchange certain types of technical data essential in the research , design, development , production and operational phases of the life cycle of systems and equipment.

At WSMR this program is not being utilized to its full potential. It's languishing here from lack of attention. It seems no one is interested in saving money or sharing their ex­pertise with others to prevent costly expenditures and duplication.

The Technical Library at WSMR has the four major data banks~ngineering,

metrology , reliability­maintaina bility , and failure. In addition to these, Naval Operations Center in Corona, Calif. can be queried by the library staff by telephone for fu;·ther assistance and-i>r in­formation .

Information can be obtained free.

To retain these data banks, WSMR personnel must par­ticipate in the exchange of information. Information such as test reports, calibration procedures, failure rate-mode data , failure experience data and related technical in­formation can be put in to the program with no trouble.

The library has loads of information for you. The question is whether you will share your information with GIDEP . Laurel Saunders is the GIDEP rep at WSMR and can be reached at 678-1317. The data banks can be reached at 678-1603.

The 20-year retiren1ent, which pays retired soldiers half their base pay, should also be kept and not be replaced by longer minimum retirement proposals, Alexander said. He added that a retired· E-S earns only $425.10 per month after 20 years service and an E-7 earns only $483, remarking that the retired E-6's income is below the federally established poverty level for a family of four .

Alexander also recom­mended a vesting policy which would entitle officers and

enlisted soldiers who leave the Army after more than five years' servic;e, but less than 20, to financial benefits after age 55.

Both active duty and retirement costs are warranted, Alexander argued, because second incomes from spouses are usuaIIy not dependable since most of them cannot pursue careers ·while making . the considerable move!i necessary in the Army. · Military families, particularly in the enlisted ranks, rarely have the funds t!i own a home.

<Continued from Page ll

Alexan~er added, depriving them of this important financial security available to many Americans. · Medical problems must be resolved , Alexander declared. He said the Army must insure that its Medical Corps is large enough and stressed that problems with the military medical insurance, CHAM­PUS, must also be corrected.

."I need not repeat the 'horror' stories regarding the failure t>f CHAMP.US to take care of the needs of the soldier,·" the secretary stated.

He called for more CHAMPUS funding for retiree medical care, dependent dental care, liberalizing authorized

. tri;atment policies, paying ·civilian physicians more for their services and _lessening res_trictions on CHAMPtJS eligibility based on distances from military hospitals.

On the subject of soldier morale, Alexander said the Army is resp0nsible providing a soldier with a "total en­vironment," including recreation, athletic and educational services. Present

·services, he noted, are being degraded and are becoming less available. ·

Transition training is needed for soldi"rs skilled in the combat arms and other tasks not found in the civilian job market, the secretary con­cluded.

Secretaries of tire Air Force and Navy also testified before the commission in January. The commission has been asked to make its final recommendations to the President by March 15.

Accountabi I ity• ·~~entorv·revea1s sho~ta9es . · • to the tune of $100 million ·

Persons who associate with the military have probably heard the term .''property • accountability" mentioned many times. It's a term that is easily use<i and thrown around a, lot. But few pause to ponder what is really meant by it. Most people just assume it has a certain meaning.

The concept "property ac­coun ta bili ty" is not well defined but many agree that it refers to everyone's respon­sibility for :

- ensuri.ng that property issued to an organization or individuals is properly charged through annotation on property records

- knowing what is actually on hand, based on a periodic inventory

-taking action to reconcile any noted shortages . or overages

As a pra<;tical matter, this concept is workable and generally acceptable since it connotes a duty obligation on the part . of every leader,

·civilian and soldier to maintain control over all government property issued. That is the key to keeping up with government property entrusted to the Army's ca re-getting everyone interested and in­volved.
