Dr. Royce begins duties as head of Research Dept. Dr. Edwin B. Royce, who was chosen to

sllCceed Dr. Hugh HWiter as the Naval Weapons Center's Associate Technical DIrector for Research and head of the Research Department, began his new duties bere this past Monday.

He hasn't arrived here with any firm ideas about what the Research Departmenl should be doing. "Two things I'll emphasize will be maintaining the already estab1isbed high quality of research work by the department, and assuring that the depart­ment is fully integrated and supportive of the overall mission of the Center," the new head of Code 60 said.

He wasn't tallring so much, Dr. Royce explained, about doing things In a new or different way as about trying to do better what already has been done very well.

Former EPA Official The new arrival, who is single, has been

working for the past four years with the Enviromnental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, D.C., first as a staff director from 1972-74 on the Ecological Impact Analysis Staff and more recently as Acting Associate Deputy Asslatant AdmInistrator for Energy, MInerals and Industry in EPA's Office of Research and Development.

As an EPA employee, he was involved with research, but primarily research program planning thaI deall essentially with evaluations of the potential impact on environmental quality of new technology aimed at solutions to the natioo's energy problems. " The objective was to try to

Dr. Edwin B. Royce

anticipate future problems before they could become serious, and find solutioos to them," Dr. Royce said.

This represented quite a change from Dr. Royce's former work as a scientist for eight years with the Physics Department of the Lawrence Uvermore Laboratory al the University of California, wbere he was deputy division leader for a research program on the behavior of materials at high dynamic pressures.

Wide Range of Rosponslbllltl .. HIa responsibilities with the EPA in­

volved integrating the results frem a whole range of studies in the fields of engineering, physical and biological sciences, ecology, economics and land use planning.

One study in particular mentioned by Dr. Royce was the Northern Great Plains Resource Program. This, he explained, was an examlnatloo of the whole spectrum of technical, environmental and socio­economic consequences of developing the plentiful coal resources in Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota.

The new head of the NWC Research Department is no stranger to the local desert &rea. When be was born in 1935, his

2 Navy men, J civilian killed in exp'osion Two memben of Explosive Ordnance

Detaclunenl ~ and a civilian employee of the Naval Weapons Center's Propulsioo Developmenl Departmenl were ldlled last Friday by the detonation of an explosive COO1poIlenl of the F AE (fuel-air explosive) weapon system.

A fuel-air explosive device consIata of a C8Mister filled with fuel which, when combined with air, is then detonated producing a concussion effect.

The blast, which claimed the lives of CWo. Charles D. Aldennan, 46, EMl Ralph

Joseph A. Holman

E. Lou, Jr., 38, and Joseph A. Holman, 45, took place on the B-1 range.

The three men had gone there to look over the F AE device which had failed to fWictioo as expected during testing. Immediately following the fatal accident, a Judge Ad­vocate General investigatioo was c0m­

menced in an effort to determine, if possible, the cause of the tragic mlshap.

Contrary to a report of this incident that was published In this past SWlday's issue of a colll1ty newspaper, the explosioo was not that of a Condor missile warhead.

A memorial service for the three accident victims at which Capt. T. C. Herrmam, NWC senior chaplain, and LCdr. R. W. Harper, NAF chaplain, officiated, was held this past Tuesday afternoon .. I the All Faith

ChapeL ~ hnmediately follq\,mg it, a private

CW04 Chari .. D. Alderman Ave., with his two daughters, Sylvia Louise, 16, and Molly Ann, 14 years old. His wife, Phyllis, who had been a registered nurse at the Ridgea-eat Community Hospital for many years, died a year ago after a lengthy illness.

SInce their father's death, the two girla have been living with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. William Petersen in Ridgecrest. In additioo to his daughters, Holman Ia

survived by his mother, Mrs. Louise Laurenz, of Rolla, Mo., and a slater, Helen, who is now llvlng in Saudi Arabia. In lieu of flowen al the Holman fwteral,

the family requested that those wishing to do so make a donation instead to the Leukemia FWid In memory of the deceased.

Funeral services for EM1 Lou are scheduled today in his birthplace of Sweet Home, Ore. A veteran of 21 years in the Navy, be had served as a mineman and

gwmer's mate (missiles) before becoming an electrician's mate specializing in ex­plosive ordnance dIaposal.

EMl Loux joined the Navy In 1955 and has been on active duty since that time, except for a two-year period (l9liNl), when be was In the Naval Reserve. Among his mllltary awards and honon are two Bronze Stan with combat V for merttorlous service In Vietnam, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Ribbon, the

Navy Combat ActIon Medal and four Good Conduct awards.

He is survived by his wife, Sandra Vivian;

EM1 Ralph E. Lou., Jr.

a son, Heath, 7 years old; and two daughten, Sbelta, 8, and Jessica, 5 years old, all of 89-B Rowe St., China Lake.

Other survivon are l)is °mcither, Mrs. Gladys Lou of Sweet Home, Ore.; five brothen, °Don, Wayne, Gene, Dean and Orville, and five sisters, Edna, l'rIaCil:a, Neoma, Nyla ~ and Mickey, whose addresses were not available.

The final resting place tOr CWo. Alderman will be In his home town of Cleburne, Tex., where his fr.ther, David W. Alderman, lives. A brother, Carrol R. Alderman, who Ia a minister, will officiate at the last rites for the accident victim.

Two local runners compete in recent San Francisco race

Local running enthusiasts Frank Freyne and Byron Richardson placed 10lst and 311th, respectively, In the recent 66th an­nual San Francisco Bay to Breakers 7.8 mile race.

The classic footrace, sponsored by the "San Francisco Examiner," drew a record size field of 6,888 official entries who competed over the scenic course which starts at the Embarcadero and passes by the civic center and Golden Gate Park, with a few hills In between, before finishing at Ocean Beach.

Winner of the race was Chris Wardiow, an Olympic hopeful whose trip was sponsored by a firm of port wine vlnters In his homeland of Australis. Both Freyne and Richardson considered this event good preparation for the Over-the-HIll Track Club's team effort In the 24-hour relay which Is scheduled In June.

r----EmploJee in the .potlicht -------" Architecture Is a way of life for Katy Bell. An architect for tbe Plans and

SpecifIcations Branch of the Public Works Department's EngIneerIng Divlsioo, Katy Is well known for her accompllslments not only on the Naval Weapons Center, but within the local community as well, since she played a key role In the creation of the Ridgecrest Golf Center.

A native of Topeka, Kan., sbe became fascinated with drafting while In high school and later pursued this Interest In the related field of architecture at Kansas State University In Manhattan, Kan. She received her bacbelor of architecture degree there In June 1955 and came to ChIna Lake that same month, having been previously recruited for work here by the (then) Naval Ordnance Test Station.

Firsl Job.t Chil,. t..ke Her first job here was with the Ar­

chItecturaloStructural branch of her present division. She began by serving as an ar­chitect on "maintenance type projects" such as the roofing of various buildings and the remodeling of the Navy Exchange. "I think I've been up on quite a few roofs at NWC," Katy recalls with a smile.

One of Katy's early assignments after joining the Plans and SpecifIcations Branch In 1961 was to do "shop sulmittal ap­provals" - making sure that the materials which the contractor was using on Capehart housing units complied with the plans and specifications of the job.

Frem 196+6T she concentrated on ar­chitectural drawings for maintenance contracts - re-roofing and painting (In­cluding a selection of colors), for instance. ThIs required her to spend a lot of time In the field In order to verify the location of equipment that was Installed on buildings after their initial constructloo and thus was not Included on the original plans.

Inyolyed in Corora Moye Katy was heavily involved In the

relocation of the Corona Uiboratory per­SOMeI to ChIna Lake during the period 1969-70. Sbe assisted In the conversion of certain structures here into usable laboratory and office space and test facilities. In fact, the dorm located at 50 Blandy St., In which sbe lived when sbe first moved to this area, was converted to office spaces during this operation.

After the Corona relocation was com­pleted, Katy began, In 1971, to work on a series of military construction funding submittals, including those for the Uiuritsen Uiboratory, the Bachelor EnlIsted Quarters and the new EnlIsted Men's Club - projects which are now under construction or have recently been com­pleted. ThIs entailed doing basic design work, site selection, estimating costs, and planning for the furniture of each structure. Preparing funding submittals was just

~Iy Bell

the first step In the total process which Katy was (and stili Is ) Involved In, however. Next came the program engineering documenta­tion for these projects - a refinement of those original proposals which officials In Washington must approve before any construction Is authorized.

During preparation of final plans and specifications sbe assumed the role, ad­dltlonaIIy, of project design engineer of the EM Club and the BEQ. ThIs means that Katy Is the liaison between NWC and the architectural firms bJred to work on the projects.

Job Requirements In this capacity, she reviews the working

drawing submittals of the firms and gives them answers about preferences in material which the eventual user of the facility has. And, although it may be missing from her position description, Katy doesn't shun the use of a IlWe muscle when it helpa to get the job done: two weeks ago sbe pitched In for half an hour and moved tables Into the new EM Club.

Although sbe's not a golfer herself, Katy began, early In 1972, her much-acclalmed volunteer work on the Ridgecrest Golf Center, assisting In virtually all phasea of the project, which was completed In May of last year. She and George Pomeroy, an architect with Code 7037, dealgned the building, golf driving range and 18-bole miniature golf course. She also did some nailing and "gave a lot of moral support" to others who helped with the constructIoo.

In 1972 Katy received a certificate of apprecu.tion from the City of Ridgecrest for her help on the golf center, and sbe and Pomeroy later received certificates of appreciation from the Ridgecrest / ChIna Optimist Club for the same work.

In further recognition of tbeIr c0n­

tributions to the golf center, hoth architects last year were named "our town's good guys" In a feature article by the "Daily

NEW FACE -Mike Moore, a detective with the Police DiYision,recently painted. fire sprinkler valye in front of the ChiRiluke police station to look like an old-time English "bobby." This festive bit of decorating was done in preparation for an open house which will be held lllhe police slilion on Thursday. June 3.

Indepeodent," and, juat last month, they were presented engraved plaques by Ridgecrest mayor Ted Edwards, who served as chairman of the Ridgecrest Improvement CommIttee, which spear­headed developnent of this COOImunity project .

As one of an estimated 3,000 female ar­chitects (with architecture degrees) In the natloo today, and one of appromnately 900 In the Civil Service, the thiq! that most impresses Katy about ber career field "Is the feeling that I get when I see something completed, realized, after first knowing it as just a drawing. It's like winning a baseball game."

Now that ber work on the Ridgecrest Golf Center Is completed, Katy, who Is ~e and lives In NWC housing, spends much of her free time reading "just about everything," but particularly biography, popular fiction and mysteries. She also enjoys taking pictures of architectural objects and scenery, and plans to travel to Vancouver;­B. C., this summer for 10 days In order to "relas and unwind and eat."
