Connally Gets Nod As :New SecNav

John B. Connally Jr., an Austin, Tex., lawyer and decoratcd Navy veteran, will serve as Secretary of the Navy for President Kenncdy.

A native of Texas, Mr. Connal1y was graduated from the University of Texas in 1939 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws.

Connally was commissioned en­sign in the Naval Reserve in June 1941. He was promoted to lieuten­ant (jg) the following year and to lieutenant in October 1943. Upon terminating his service in 1954, he held the rank o[ lieutcna nt com­mander.

He also worked in trai ning a nd lllanllOWer and sen'cd in the off ice of James Forrest-ai, thcn t:ndcr Sceretary of the Nu,·y. During the war Mr. Connally saw

service in Algiers and combat duty in the Pacific islands aboard the carriers Essex and Bennington. As Fighter Dircctor Officcr on the Es­sex he was awarded the Bronze Star. For his scrvice on both ships he was a war d e d the Legion of Merit.

up his gun belt. peers into a dirty window, thcn moves all down the dusty street.

As he swings along slowly, his hand resting on the butt of his six­gun, he looks intently around the deserted buildings . . . his eyes squinting from years in the bright western sun. He is looking for strangers in this g h 0 5 t mining camp.

No-this isn't a scene from a TV Western- the man with the six-gun is Sewell "Pop" L 0 fin c k, NOTS range guard, "The L.."'\w of Wild Horse Mesa," as he m a k c s the rounds of the Station's ranges.

"Pop's" job of Jaw and order is a little different than that of the average Western peace offiecr- he protects the citizcns by k e e pin g thcm out of the dangerous range areas where lethal rockets and mis­siles are being tested.

His "customers" vary from ordin­ary cur i 0 sit y seekers and rock­hound enthUSiasts, to those with personal reasons for seeking a re­mote, isolated area where the long arm of the law is less liable to find them.

Ghost mines, camps. towns, and "diggin's" arc numerous in the Sta­tion's area which is larger than the State of Rh[)de Island. "Pop's" headquarters are at Junction Ranch on the top plateau of the Argus range, and not for from Wild Horse Mesa.

Junction Ranch was once the change station for fresh horses for the stagecoaches and gold-laden wagons which traversed Renegade Canyon. Wild Horse Mesa gets its name from the wild horcsc that still roam the area.

Renegade Canyon is aptly named after the renegades who holed up there and preyed on the slow trav­elers until the Army built Fort Na­deau, named after the historic gold freighter.

Remi Nadeau hauled millions of dollars of orc from the Cerro Gordo mines through Junction Ranch, past China Lake, and on to San Pedro from 1873 to 1881.

Like many westerners before him, ''Pop'' Lofinck is of the rugged pio­necring stock. He prefcrs to work alone, travelling by Jeep. No horse, no dogs, he says, "I know what I'm going to do when I get in a spot,

Out of 199 cases studied, 77 were due to excessive spced.

At the forward end of the animal where the smooth water flows exists, the skin is nearly bloodless. Toward the tail where turbulence and drag normally build up, a progressively increasing amount of blood vessels supplying blood to the skin area is noted.

Scientists surmise that greater vascular circulation toward the aft end could produce a smoother flmv by decreasing water turbulence through the sudden flow of blood to the skin, causing the water to thin out around the body; or possibly create microscopic ripples in her skin which would be an aid to re­ducing existing drag properties.

CapabJe of jumping 15 feet out of the water, the porpoise can also descend 1,000 feet, first absorbing

5.5 Percent Dividend Rate Is Paid By Pasadena Employees Credit Union

A dividend rate of 5.5 percent was declared for the second consecutive year at a meeting of the NOTS Pasa­dena Employees Federal Credit Union on January 19. The dividend rate has been over the 5 percent level for the past four years.

In 1953, it was 4.8 percent; drop­ping to 4.6 in 19M and 4 percent in 1955. It rose to 4.8 in 1956, on up to 5.2 in 1957; 5.2 again in 1958; and 5.5 percent in 1959 and again for 1960.

During the past year, the Credit Union has grown to total assets of $402,773.01. Income for the year amounted to $29,74.6.67, resulting in net earnings of $18,120.34.

This growth is reflected, accord­ing to John Watkins, Chairman of the Education and Publicity Com­mittee, in increased thrift shown by shareholders and the low rate of interest on loans. For example. he says, coUateral loans draw an interest of *' of 1 percent per month on the unpaid balance and signature loans are drawn at the rate of 1 percent per month on the unpaid balance. He adds that mem­bers can borrow up to 100 percent 'Of bluebook value on used cars. which is another unique feature of the Credit Union.

There were no new members elected to the Board of Directou for the coming year. However, dur­ing the past year, the Board of Directors was increased from a membership of seven to nine. This increase wiII permit transaction of

Credit Union business even though several members of the Board may 'be away at the same time. The most recent members are Gerald Mosteller and Marjorie Ross.

Charles Gerbracht has joined the Supervisory Committee and Dick Franz, alternate last year, is now a member of the Credit Committee.

The full complement of officials who serve your Credit Union are as follows:

President, Edward Davey; Vice­President, Bernard Silver; Treas­urer, Irene Dickson; Secretary, Na­dine Robinson; and Members John Watkins, Theodore RavenelIe, Ger­ald Mosteller, Marjorie Ross, and James Carroll.

Amer ican-I{orean Foundation, as its name implies, works exclusively on rehabilitation projects in Korea and contributions to A-KF, to a considerable extent, carry forward relief projects once supported by U. S. military forces in Korea.

A man g the programs fostered througb A-KF are 8.Siistance "to orphans and orpnanages; training for nu rses and for other skilled per~ sons' employed in the healing arts; numerous educational projects for young Koreans, and an e.xtensive program of assistance to the Ko­rean rural economy. This latter program has also been supported by U. S. 4-H Clubs and by means of it breeding stock is shipped to Korea to raise both quality and numbers of farm animals and poul­try and thus expand the food and cash resources of rural Koreans.

R a dio Free E urope Fund, for­merly known as "Crusade for Free­dom," does such a good job of broadcasting the truth to nearly 80 miUion people behind the "iron curtain" that the Soviets spend an estimated $125 million a year to jam RFE frequencies. The news and other programs get through, nevertheless, and are heard by more than 90 percent of the people in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

RFE, whose center of operations is in Munich, broadcasts seven days and nights a week over 28 transmit­ters and relay stations. WhiJe news, gathered by an expert staff, is a main part of the RFE programs, music and other cultural programs are also beamed at the captive na· tlons.

The CARE activity is world-wide and currently operates in 29 na­tions of Asia, Africa, Europe and South America. The list of coun-tries changes from time to time as new emergencies arise and older projects are terminated. Nearly' 13,500,000 destitute people were aid­ed in the past year by the well­known CARE Food Crusade car· tons. And for the past five years CARE has followed food distribu­tion with tools for self-help to as­sist the destitute in providing their own food or livelihood.
